Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 622: Chapter 621, What, Cultivating Soul Power Requires ’The Book of Changes’_1

"In the laboratory."

"Take me to see your father. I have something to discuss with him."

"Oh..."

Jiang Chen followed Little Xi into the basement, which was still the same place as before. Uncle Snake Rodney was still conducting various experiments.

Inside the containers, there were many experimental subjects. All kinds of experimental subjects.

Rodney turned and looked at Jiang Chen, exclaiming in surprise, "You... you’re a Divine now?"

"Not a Divine, just a Demigod."

"I can feel the power of the Law."

"Your senses are sharp."

Little Xi looked astonished. "You’re a Demigod?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Rodney asked, "You came to see me for something?"

"I wanted to ask if you’ve done any research on Soul Power."

Rodney thought for a moment. "Soul?"

"Yes."

"It seems I have researched it before."

Jiang Chen asked, "Do you still remember?"

"Just a moment..." Rodney walked over to a nearby bookshelf, searching for something. He flipped through the books repeatedly until he finally found his notes.

Rodney said, "I once wondered what truly controls a person—is it the body? The brain? Or the heart?"

"I once removed a person’s heart, and he remained alive, proving it wasn’t the heart."

"I also removed another person’s right brain, and he lived as well. It seems it wasn’t that either."

"I’ve tried the left brain too; also not it..."

"I’ve even removed an entire head before, and that wasn’t it either..."

Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched. Well, that’s something else! Did he really do all that just to figure out what controls the body?

Jiang Chen asked, "And then, what did you discover?"

"There was a discovery."

"What discovery?"

"Deep inside the human brain, there’s a mysterious place. Every time I make an incision there, the experimental subject experiences extreme pain, even under anesthesia."

"And that place should be where the soul resides."

"Where?"

"Lie down, let me operate on you, and you can see for yourself."

Jiang Chen: ?????

No, thanks! he thought. I came to consult with you, not to become your test subject.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "Let’s not."

"Then I can’t help you. However, if you want to find where the soul is, you could go see the blind man. I cured his eyes, and he’s in the black market of Xileruo World."

Jiang Chen asked, "Does my master know?"

"Yes. You Wanderers are different; he knows how to cultivate the soul."

Really? The blind man knows?

Jiang Chen immediately took his leave to go to the black market of Xileruo World.

Via the Teleportation Array, he headed to the black market.

「Inside the tavern.」

Lin Yangze was drinking when he looked up at the figure outside.

Lin Yangze smiled.

Jiang Chen also smiled. Seeing that Lin Yangze’s eyes could see, Jiang Chen felt much relieved.

"You’re here."

"Master, you’re still at the Seventh-stage?"

"Yes, still at the Seventh-stage. What does it matter if I reached the Ninth-Stage? One must continue to advance further. I’m old now and no longer desire to become a God."

Lin Yangze looked at Jiang Chen. "You’re a Wanderer now, the Master of Sword Pavilion. I didn’t expect that you’d also become a Wanderer—the only Sword God after Bai Yun. You’re doing very well," he praised.

"This time, I’ve come to ask a favor of you," Jiang Chen said.

"What is it?"

"It’s about Soul Power."

"Soul? Why do you ask about that?"

"I am already a Demigod and need to fuse Soul Power with the Law to become the God of Destruction. But now I’m stuck, unable to merge my soul with the Law, and I don’t even know where the soul is."

Lin Yangze nodded, understanding Jiang Chen’s confusion.

Lin Yangze asked, "What do you think the soul is?"

"The soul should be just like me."

Lin Yangze shook his head. "No, the soul is like a white orb, like smoke, soft and fluffy."

"Um..." Jiang Chen thought. Master, you’re not joking, are you?

Lin Yangze said, "I am not joking. The soul has not an ounce of strength, but it is a person’s consciousness."

"It possesses all abilities. What you see, what you touch—all of it is your soul controlling your body to perceive these things."

"The crucial thing is that it’s also very fragile."

Jiang Chen quickly asked, "Then how can I cultivate the soul?"

"I don’t know, but I can show you where your own soul is."

"Okay."

「In the room...」

The two sat cross-legged.

Lin Yangze said, "Go to sleep right now."

"Sleep?"

"Yes, to see your soul, you must sleep. Not just any sleep, but a true, deep sleep that puts your brain into a dormant state."

"It is at this time that your soul will issue all sorts of commands, and you need to follow these sensations into that special Space."

"Not the Dreamspace, but your own independent Space."

"Inside, there will be nothing. You’ll see a tuft of white mist—that is your soul."

Jiang Chen nodded, following Lin Yangze’s instructions. He didn’t cultivate but instead went to sleep, entering a deeper level of slumber.

Gradually, Jiang Chen’s breathing became steady, his heartbeat slowed, and his body’s functions began to decline. He could feel his heart beating as if receiving orders.

And at that moment, his brain issued a command. Jiang Chen felt it...

In an instant, he saw the white mist.

Is this the soul?

Jiang Chen’s spiritual power touched that Soul Power, and he abruptly woke up.

Lin Yangze asked, "Did you see it?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes."

"How does it feel?"

"It feels like that is me. Such a fragile soul, like a newborn infant living inside a fortress of steel."

Lin Yangze said, "Yes, that is the soul. Although fragile, it is a person’s Willpower."

Um... Alright then! Indeed. But how do I cultivate it? This is going to be tough.

Lin Yangze said, "You could look at some ancient texts."

"Which ones?"

"’The Book of Changes.’"

"’The Book of Changes?’"

"Yes, to cultivate Soul Power, you need to study ’The Book of Changes.’"

"Where can I find it?"

"I have it."

Lin Yangze pulled a book from his robes.

On the back, a line of text: People’s Publishing House: 39.9...

Um... Alright then!

Lin Yangze continued, "It was after reading this book that I knew where the soul resided, saw my soul, and comprehended the Heart Realm."

"I understand," Jiang Chen said.

"There are many parts I don’t understand; I wonder if you will."

Jiang Chen turned to the first page. This thing doesn’t seem so easy to comprehend! He looked at the words on the page.

Lin Yangze asked, "Aren’t you supposed to read it?"

Jiang Chen: ?????

"It is your soul that needs to read it, to allow your soul to comprehend the power within. That is how you can cultivate Soul Power."
