Yun Ming heard that Yang Wudi was going to teach him a specialized meditation method, so he pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
Yang Wudi began to speak.
"Meditation is a compulsory course for every soul master to become stronger."
"Through meditation, a soul master can not only accumulate soul power and improve their hard strength, but also gain a deeper understanding of their own martial soul to improve their soft strength. This point is extremely important for a soul master's later cultivation!"
"And a meditation method, as the name implies, is the method of meditation."
"Currently, the most common and basic meditation method on the continent is for soul masters to use internal vision to contemplate their own martial soul, actively promoting the absorption and conversion of heaven and earth energy by their martial soul to increase soul power. This is basically what is taught in the primary soul master academies on the continent now."
"Although this meditation method is the root of all meditation methods in the world, it is very elementary and inefficient. Its biggest advantage is its universality; no matter what kind of martial soul one has, one can practice this meditation method."
"However, for large soul master families and major sects, because most of their members possess the same martial soul or the same type of martial soul, using this universal version is too inefficient. For the sake of better cultivation, each family has developed a specialized meditation method that fits the characteristics of their own martial soul. The current seven great sects of the world and long-standing soul master forces like our Breaking Clan basically use these now!"
Having said this, Yang Wudi said to Yun Ming earnestly.
"This kind of specialized meditation method is one of the most important foundations of every soul master family. Although the cultivation effect might not be good for people from other families, leaking a specialized meditation method would allow enemies to understand one's own soul power circulation path, which is a very dangerous thing. Therefore, remember never to leak our clan's meditation method to outsiders or pry into the meditation methods of other families; this is a major taboo in the soul master world that must not be touched!"
Hearing his grandfather's solemn tone, Yun Ming realized the importance of this matter and responded with a serious look on his handsome little face.
"I understand, Grandfather!"
Seeing his grandson's cute expression, Yang Wudi couldn't help but break his originally stern facade, smiled slightly, and continued to teach.
"Hmm!"
"And the key to our Breaking Clan's Breaking Soul Meditation Method lies in..."
Afterward, Yang Wudi spent an hour teaching Yun Ming every detail of the meditation method and the potential problems he might encounter. Yun Ming absorbed and digested all the knowledge points very well. Seeing that Yun Ming understood all the details and key points of the technique, Yang Wudi let Yun Ming begin his meditation practice while he watched from the side.
Yun Ming settled his mind and used internal vision to look at his martial soul, seeing the transparent and ethereal Atlas Spear floating amidst white-hot flames. Through his martial soul, Yun Ming also saw the energy that was omnipresent between heaven and earth. The starlight was dotted, dreamlike and illusory. This beautiful scene didn't move Yun Ming much, who was seeing it for the first time; he thought it was better for his martial soul to swallow these beautiful specks of light. Immediately, Yun Ming began to urge the Atlas Spear according to the Breaking Soul Meditation Method taught by Yang Wudi, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to cultivate soul power.
But as soon as he started cultivating, Yun Ming felt something was wrong. It wasn't that he couldn't cultivate soul power or that there was a problem with the soul power he produced; after running the Breaking Soul Meditation Method, everything was the same as what Yang Wudi described, and Yun Ming felt he hadn't made a mistake. It was just that his instinct told him that he was very uncomfortable with this set of meditation methods and that this shouldn't be the meditation method he was meant to use.
Out of a desire to follow his instincts, just like how he used a spear, Yun Ming ran a very strange meditation method according to his instinctive habits. Not only was the soul power circulation path strange, but after running it, Yun Ming felt his whole body's blood boiling and his spirit refreshed. Although the soul power grew much slower, the quality of the soul power was clearly higher than that cultivated by the Breaking Soul Meditation Method earlier.
At the same time, in the outside world.
Yang Wudi saw that the soul power aura on Yun Ming's body perfectly matched the Breaking Soul Meditation Method—nothing it could not break, nothing it could not pierce—and nodded with satisfaction. He praised him inwardly: As expected of my grandson, his comprehension is truly excellent; he did it so perfectly on the first try. However, the good times didn't last long, as Yang Wudi felt the soul power aura on Yun Ming change. It became more majestic and grand, more overbearing and dignified, giving people the feeling of Absolute Dominance!!!
This gave Yang Wudi a fright. He never expected that Yun Ming would modify the meditation method himself during his first meditation. This was a very dangerous behavior; one careless move could ruin his entire soul master career. But now, in order not to affect Yun Ming, Yang Wudi could only wait anxiously.
Just as Yang Wudi was becoming impatient and wanted to forcibly interrupt, Yun Ming stopped the operation of the meditation method, opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and began to think about the reason.
Seeing his grandson's strange expression, Yang Wudi couldn't care about scolding him and asked with a worried and urgent tone.
"Ming Er, are you okay?"
As he spoke, he began to "grope" Yun Ming, checking to see if he was injured anywhere.
Seeing his grandfather Yang Wudi's reaction, Yun Ming stopped thinking and responded with some confusion.
"Grandfather, what are you doing? I'm fine!"
Seeing that Yun Ming was indeed unharmed, Yang Wudi's anger flared up, and he began to lecture Yun Ming.
"Yun Ming!!! Who told you to modify the meditation method without authorization? Are you tired of living?!!"
"Or do you want me to experience the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person again!!!"
Seeing his grandfather so angry that he even called his full name, Yun Ming realized that his actions were rash. Feeling apologetic, he quickly admitted his mistake.
"Grandfather, I was wrong!"
Seeing Yun Ming with his eyes lowered, eyebrows slightly furrowed, and corners of his mouth turned down—truly showing sincere regret and remorse—the anger in Yang Wudi's heart dissipated a little. With a sigh, he began to earnestly advise Yun Ming.
"Sigh!"
"Ming Er, your talent is extremely high, there is no need to rush. Grandfather doesn't worry about your future achievements, but I hope you can take good care of yourself!"
"Okay?"
Yun Ming looked up and saw the look of lingering fear and pleading on Yang Wudi's resolute face. His heart felt heavy, and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod heavily.
Seeing Yun Ming nod, Yang Wudi didn't say anything more and began to ask about the reason why Yun Ming changed the meditation route.
"Why did you modify the meditation route? Did you discover some problem?"
Yun Ming honestly told his grandfather all his previous insights.
"It's like this..."
After listening to Yun Ming's narration and feeling the higher quality of soul power, Yang Wudi couldn't accept the fact that Yun Ming had created a more powerful meditation method!
Is this kind of situation really possible? Is a meditation method something you can just sense?!! But the facts were right in front of him; he had to believe it whether he wanted to or not.
Yang Wudi originally wanted to try Yun Ming's new meditation method, but he found that he couldn't do it. Even knowing the soul power circulation path, he couldn't run it. Seeing this, Yang Wudi sighed in his heart: The gap between people! Sometimes it's even bigger than the gap between humans and soul beasts. Is he not even qualified to learn this?!!
However, this was normal. Absolute Dominance was originally a self-created combat technique that combined spiritual power and physical attacks, created by the Limit Douluo of the Shrek Academy ten thousand years later, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En. By Yun Ming's era, after ten thousand years of improvement and summary by the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters, it had long become a complete cultivation system. It not only included the fusion and application of blood, soul power, and spiritual power, but also the methods for improving and cultivating all three.
If there was any flaw in this top-tier secret technique, it might be that it was too difficult! After all, those who could become Shrek Academy and Sea God Pavilion Masters were the super geniuses among the super geniuses of the soul master world; you couldn't expect these people to understand mediocrity.
Yang Wudi was helpless and could only let Yun Ming practice on his own, reminding him to be careful not to hurt himself.
PS: The gains from the instinct cheat are limited to spear arts, soul ring planning for spear-type martial souls, and the basic Absolute Dominance for now. As for other abilities, they will be restored as memories are unsealed later, just in the early stages.
