Regardless of whether it is the Soul Forging Realm or the Burning Lantern Realm, they actually have only one purpose.
That is to increase the strength of the soul.
After experiencing the tempering of the first two realms of martial arts, the physical strength of the warrior has transcended the ordinary world and possesses all kinds of great power.
But the warrior's soul is still at the mortal level.
How can the soul afford to use a mortal soul to control a body as solid as gold and iron?
After reaching the peak of cultivation in the second realm, a warrior will most likely face the dilemma of being extremely exhausted mentally before his spiritual power is exhausted.
This is the disadvantage of a weak soul.
Therefore, in the third level of martial arts, it is inevitable to attack the soul and use various means to strengthen the soul in order to achieve the goal of perfect integration between the soul and the body.
The difference between soul forging and burning lamps is the difference in the way of soul training.
Soul forging, as the name suggests, is to forge the soul, and the power used for forging is spiritual power.
When a warrior reaches the peak of the second realm and accumulates spiritual power to the extreme, he can control the spiritual power between reality and reality into a heavy hammer, constantly beating the illusory soul.
When the spiritual hammer is condensed and the soul is successfully forged for the first time, the warrior can naturally enter the soul-forging realm.
However, the foundation of the warriors in the Naqi Realm is far inferior to that of the warriors in the Spirit-Swallowing Realm. Therefore, even if it is much easier to break through the soul-forging realm than to break through the burning lamp, this step will also block many warriors in the Naqi Realm.
As the third realm of true martial arts, the Burning Deng Realm is naturally much more difficult to break through and practice than Soul Forging.
Of course, the effect is not comparable to that of soul forging.
In the Soul Forging Realm, one can use a spiritual hammer to forge the soul, but this can only be used during retreat. Once it is disturbed and causes the spiritual hammer to go wrong, it can range from serious injury to immediate death.
In Gu Daoyi's view, this method of tempering the soul is extremely inefficient and laborious, leaving countless warriors stuck in the third realm, unable to make any progress.
No wonder today's warriors cannot escape the shackles of the Soul Forging Realm after practicing hard for two to three hundred years. It is because of the flaws of this realm.
In ancient times, even a warrior with the most ordinary talent would be able to pass the third level of martial arts within ten years as long as he had enough resources to support him!
However, the cultivation method of the Soul Forging Realm is not without its merits. Although the cultivation efficiency of this method is low, it consumes few resources and is suitable for mass promotion. This is in line with the thoughts of the genius who created today's mainstream martial arts.
The Ran Deng Realm in ancient martial arts has a huge advantage over the Soul Forging Realm in terms of how to temper the soul.
The reason why this state is called burning lamp is because warriors in ancient times would directly use spiritual power as fire and soul essence as fuel to ignite the eternal fire of the soul.
Burning the lamp is the lamp that burns the soul for martial arts!
Once the soul fire is ignited, it will continue to burn until the warrior breaks through the Lantern Realm and enters the fourth realm of martial arts.
The effect of this fire is also extraordinary. It will continuously refine the soul and eliminate soul impurities. It does not require a warrior to control it, and there is no risk of losing control.
In other words, warriors in the Burning Deng Realm do not need to take the initiative to practice, and their realm will continue to improve until they reach the pinnacle of the Burning Deng Realm.
So the question is, since the Burning Light Realm is so convenient, why is it abandoned by the current mainstream martial arts world and turned to the more troublesome and dangerous Soul Forging Realm?
The reason is actually very simple, that is, the consumption of resources in the Randen Realm is terrible.
What does the fire of the soul burn? Nature is the power of the soul.
When this raging flame burns for a period of time, the warrior's soul will certainly solidify a lot, but the recovery power of the soul will not be able to keep up with the burning speed of the soul fire.
When the soul is burned to a certain extent, the soul fire will begin to burn the soul's origin.
When one's origin is damaged, a warrior may lose his memory at worst, or become a fool at worst.
When the source is completely burned away, the warrior's soul will be gone, leaving only a body.
If you want to make up for the power of the soul, you can only continuously absorb the treasures of the soul, heaven and earth, and reach a balance with the burning speed of the soul fire.
In this way, the warrior can strengthen the soul with the treasures of heaven and earth, and at the same time use the fire of the soul to burn away impurities and temper the soul in order to break through to the next realm.
But the amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures consumed during this period will be a terrifying number.
It is precisely for this reason that in ancient times, martial arts were only spread among those divine sects and holy places, and most of them were mortals in the world.
Because once there are more people cultivating, the resources in the world will not be enough!
If you want to promote martial arts, it is inevitable to modify and simplify the Randen Realm.
If Gu Daoyi were the genius, he would make the same choice.
Of course, although the Burning Light Realm consumes a lot of cultivation resources, if only a small number of people practice this method, the world can still support it.
The first ancient path is to break through with the method of burning lanterns.
Now, he has used his ten-turn spiritual power to ignite his soul.
Since warriors have different backgrounds, the power of the soul fire they can ignite is naturally different.
Someone discovered a long time ago that condensing one's own spiritual power and then using it as a kindling to ignite the soul fire will explosively enhance the soul fire's effect of refining the soul!
The reason why the Nine Spirit-Swallowing Transformations were created was not just to dominate the Soul-Swallowing Realm, but it was also closely related to the subsequent martial arts realm!
And the fire that Gu Daoyi transformed with the spiritual power of ten revolutions, the effect of igniting the soul fire is the best in ancient and modern times!
If someone could see the flame of the soul, they would find that the flame of Gu Daoyi's soul can be said to reach all over the sky and the earth, and it can sweep everything, no less than the vision of heaven and earth!
Almost instantly, the impurities in Gu Daoyi's soul were completely refined and refined a lot.
But correspondingly, in the blink of an eye, the soul fire almost burned out his soul and touched his origin.
Fortunately, he had prepared a lot of Soul Dao Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before his breakthrough, otherwise he would have been directly burned to death by the raging Soul Fire.
Because of the horror of the fire, the number of soul treasures he needs will reach an appalling level.
Once it is lacking, it will be the end of body and soul.
Of course Gu Daoyi had a way to weaken the fire or even temporarily extinguish it, but he was not prepared to use it.
Because only this most powerful soul fire in ancient and modern times can allow his soul strength to break through the souls of 100 million people and blaze a new path in the Burning Deng Realm!
In ancient times, someone set standards for the strength of the soul.
Except for some geniuses with naturally powerful souls, the initial soul power of warriors is only equivalent to that of mortals.
This is a human soul.
By constantly refining the soul through Ran Deng, the strength of the soul will rise in an orderly manner.
On top of one soul, there are ten souls, which is equivalent to the power of ten mortal souls condensed together.
Above the ten souls, there are a hundred souls, which is equivalent to the power of a hundred mortal souls condensed together.
By analogy, further up there are thousands of souls, ten thousand souls, one hundred thousand souls, one million souls...
When an ordinary Burning Light Realm warrior reaches the peak of his cultivation, one hundred souls is the standard and one thousand souls is excellent.
But geniuses go far beyond common sense. It is common to reach the level of ten thousand souls, and it is not uncommon to have one hundred thousand souls.
When you reach the level of one million souls or tens of millions of souls, you are at the level of the Son of God and the Saintess.
With more than 50 million souls, one is a peerless genius, and it is rare to find one in a thousand years.
In the previous life, Gu Daoyi cultivated his soul strength to an unprecedented level of 100 million human souls in the third realm, which is equivalent to the total soul power of 100 million mortals.
But he already understood at that time that there was still a way to reach the top of billions of human souls, but his soul's fire was not strong enough to help him reach that step.
Now, although he has just broken through to the Burning Lantern Realm and his soul strength has only reached ten human souls, with the ten-turn soul fire, he already has the opportunity to push his soul foundation to surpass 100 million human souls in the third realm. !
