"It's been a long time since we've seen the Immovable Ming King Body from the Mu Family, this young one from the Mu Family is quite something, to manifest the prototype of the Dharma Body in the mortal realm before even forging his cultivation body."
"Indeed, although the Four Guardian Stars have their uniqueness, it also proves his deep compatibility with the Immovable Ming King Body."
"Hehe, Ji Jingqiu is in trouble now. The move 'Great Wisdom Sword' is a technique uniting spirit and body. Seeing it for the first time, he is likely to be at a disadvantage."
Virtual world backstage.
Observers from various factions are discussing fervently.
Martial artists in the Divine Travel Realm, whose 'True Self' exceeds a critical threshold, could integrate their physical body, spirit, internal visualization, and combat skills to form a unique aura.
This aura is named Qi Po.
For genius martial artists who have forged a superior cultivation body, what they condense is not Qi Po, but the Dharma Body Prototype.
The crux lies in the intrinsic Dharma principles.
Observers await the result of tonight's battle, but suddenly the situation in the arena changes dramatically!
In the projection, Ji Jingqiu's body faintly displays changes similar to the Immovable Ming King Body, yet even more elusive, making it difficult to discern the true form behind it.
He suddenly bursts forth, and on his next appearance, he bisects Mu Juncheng along with the Ming King's Dharma Body in one strike.
The strike happened so swiftly and smoothly, the latter seemed to have surrendered, rendered utterly defenseless throughout, offering no resistance!
The strike was so swift that observers were still reminiscing when the fight had already ended.
Everyone furrowed their brows, trying to recall what exactly that seemingly effortless strike contained.
Despite no visible divine tactics or profound meanings in the strike, it caused a ripple in everyone's heart, giving a sense that something was missed.
Until one voice, troubled yet doubting himself, said:
"Was that last strike a blade wind, or...'Unbound Heart'? Or am I seeing things?"
The previously quiet crowd instantly erupted!
Unbound Heart refers to the power of the spirit breaking free from the physical body to directly interfere with the external world.
According to Federation research, theoretically, meditation cultivation is enough for the spirit to detach from the body and affect the external world, like hypnotism; a meditating martial artist could, with a snap of their fingers, make ordinary people with weaker spirits completely obey...
This is theoretically achievable.
However, in reality, even with Spiritual Residence, without special Spirit Secret Skills and items like Purifying Divine Incense, one can't release their spirit outward to induce meditation in others.
The fundamental reason is that the rules of the Great Universe are formidable; a martial artist's spirit is confined within the body, making it difficult to escape and thus unable to interfere externally.
Inside the Federation, spearheaded by the top ten academies, institutions have been diligently researching this, reportedly making some progress.
Everyone initially thought these claims were like "predicted to enter the payback period of investment," just excuses to secure funding.
But after tonight's display by Yue Yourong, everyone must acknowledge that the institutions have indeed achieved significant results over the years.
Because the threshold for practicing Spirit Secret Skills is generally high, typically starting from Residence, but Yue Yourong, only at meditation, could use it in battle to influence martial artists of the same tier, proving its effectiveness.
"This kid definitely has achieved Spiritual Residence! Even here at Four Guardian Stars, to reach this level, ordinary Residence wouldn't suffice!"
"He's still far off, it must be some kind of secret technique," an observer with a sharp eye said, "Some special Spirit Secret Skill, coupled with the unique environment of the Four Guardian Stars, allowed him to temporarily achieve this."
The reason everyone is astonished is because, theoretically, 'Unbound Heart' is indeed achievable by Residence, but in reality, it's mostly achieved by Pan Ding!
The greatest critique about the Federation's laboratories has always been "theoretically" without offering much practical significance!
Once 'Unbound Heart' is achieved to liberate the power of the spirit, the combat power of a martial artist makes a tremendous leap, as if an additional force is granted to the body.
By that time, even if there is a significant difference in realm levels, overcoming levels to fight is not impossible.
"'Dojo Prototype' combined with 'Unbound Heart', could this kid ascend to the heavens in one step when he reaches the Heart Image Realm?"
"If he's reached Spiritual Residence during the True Seed phase, won't his next Martial Arts Divine be almost guaranteed? What stage is his martial art cultivation currently?"
"Just entered Mingxin not long ago, still suffering from the short duration of his cultivation."
"I'm actually more interested in the Qi Po he recently displayed, hmm, he hasn't yet forged the Dharma Body Prototype, what he manifested must only be internal visualization, it couldn't be the Formless Visualization Map could it?"
"No, considering his background, it seems to be... Starving Tiger Holding a Knife?"
Someone thoughtfully said, glancing toward Song Youde from the Dragon Tiger Dojo.
"Isn't that a Mid-grade Visualization Map?" someone chuckled, "Dragon Tiger Dojo is indeed stingy. How about this, let us take Ji Jingqiu to the Heavenly God Dojo, rest assured, we can still squeeze out resources for core inheritance!"
Song Youde glared sideways at him and responded, "Even if you could squeeze more out, could you make him switch to cultivating the Taoist Body? Although Ji is extraordinarily gifted, what he lacks most now is time. The right path is to forge the cultivation body as soon as possible. Other methods can wait until after the cultivation body is fully forged."
"I heard that Mu De Dojo intends to challenge Ji Jingqiu in two months?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked, and the eyes of many turned toward the representative from Mu De Dojo.
The representative from Mu De Dojo, Yin Hua, flatly stated, "Ridiculous! Yan's personal opinion cannot represent the dojo!"
"Yan Zixu was the representative from Mu De Dojo last time, right? A dojo's representative can't represent the dojo?" someone mocked.
