"Having discussed precise control, let's talk about another benefit after you consolidate a node."
With a casual wave of his hand, an incongruent strong wind suddenly kicked up around Li Zheng.
It's important to note that theoretically, no actual matter, including air, should exist in the Dark Realm.
Without airflow, the natural phenonon of 'wind' can't occur naturally.
Yet now, Xu managed to create a gale with a simple wave of his hand.
The reason Xu could stir the air was purely due to his formidable spiritual power, churning around Li Zheng.
Li Zheng tentatively released a trace of spiritual power to probe the storm, only for it to be scattered instantly.
"!!!"
Damn, that's insane!
Li Zheng was utterly shocked. Previously, he only knew that spiritual power could interfere with each other, but didn't realize it could also attack.
"Once you successfully consolidate a node, even just one, your spiritual power undergoes a qualitative change, even gaining so aggression." Xu dissipated the storm around Li Zheng, "When you form nine nodes, you could even directly attack another's physical form and cause harm.
Of course, this is theoretically possible, as I've never tested it personally.
It's possible that fewer than nine nodes could achieve this."
Attacking the physical form implies using spiritual power to inflict damage to real objects.
But this was within Li Zheng's expectations, as enhanced spiritual power can already begin to affect physical objects, such as manipulating an ice needle.
Under this premise, crushing an ice needle would be a piece of cake as long as the control is powerful enough.
If the spiritual power is overwhelmingly strong, killing soone imperceptibly becos a breeze.
Xu continued his demonstration with spiritual power, saying, "If I were to attack you with spiritual power now, your body, based on spiritual power as well, would surely shatter, and the consciousness hidden inside would dissipate."
"!!!"
Li Zheng imdiately grasped the implication of Xu's words—it was identical to the symptoms of those consciousness-loss patients in the Outer City.
"Has anyone before learned the thod of consolidating nodes from you?" he quickly asked.
"No, you are the first," Xu shook his head, "Why are you asking this?"
"Well..."
Li Zheng detailed everything he encountered outside: "If it weren't for what you just said, I wouldn't have thought to consider spiritual power."
After hearing Li Zheng's description, Xu nodded thoughtfully: "What you described does resemble the attack thod after consolidating nodes, but I haven't seen any case firsthand, so I can't conclude just yet."
"That's easily fixed, I can find a case and bring it here for you to see using the Lamp Holder," Li Zheng proposed instantly.
"You can't bring them in," Xu shook his head slightly, "If those people are truly like you described, their spiritual power must be completely shattered and incapable of forming entities."
"Unable to consolidate… does that an those people are beyond saving?" Li Zheng was a bit unwilling to accept this.
"Not necessarily."
Xu pondered for a mont and said, "Although their spiritual power has been dispersed, the brain, as the source of spiritual power, holds it within a certain range as long as it hasn't died. With a spiritual power expert's help, there may be a chance to reconstruct their spiritual power and awaken them. But..."
"But what?"
"But... because their spiritual power was shattered, even if it could be reconstructed, it would be a blank slate, with all past mories wiped, and their personality could drastically change."
Xu was an expert in spiritual power, and regardless of the truth, his words carried the most authority.
Li Zheng felt slightly relieved: "As long as there's a way to save them, that's good enough."
"Those people are unrelated to you; why are you thinking of saving them?" Xu was curious, given his usual solitude in the Dark Realm, he lacked emotional understanding, and despite having glimpsed into Li Zheng's mories, he still struggled with the concept of 'emotion'.
"Unrelated?" Li Zheng hesitated for a mont, "Well, I'm just looking to save a subordinate's mother and a friend's sister. The others don't concern ."
Li Zheng was now thinking of how to save Kota's mother and Yakumo's sister Kuimi, and perhaps help Basil's friend along the way.
Just three people in total.
Now it was Xu's turn to be taken aback, "I thought..."
He then smiled slightly, "Never mind, it's all the sa. But I must remind you, with your current level of spiritual power, it's impossible to carry out the thod I just discussed."
"That's alright, I can find others. With so many people in the Outer City, there must be a few who are adept in this field," Li Zheng said casually, "Just give a standard, and I'll handle the rest."
"Hmm... at least three nodes are needed," Xu thought for a mont and said, "If the target originally has strong spiritual power, four or even five nodes might be necessary. Do you know such people in the Outer City?"
"..."
Li Zheng was stumped.
He realized that apart from Xu, no one knew how to consolidate spiritual power nodes.
If there were, the dical personnel would have long discovered the effects of spiritual power.
"So, the savior role still falls on you," Xu joked slightly.
"Sigh... the greater the ability, the more responsibilities there are to shirk," Li Zheng shook his head, "Let's discuss how to consolidate spiritual power nodes."
"No rush, take it slowly,"
At this mont, Xu was not in a hurry, "Your spiritual power is currently at the threshold of node consolidation, but it needs so ti to genuinely breakthrough. You can begin so preparatory work, though."
"First, you must create a 'singularity' at the center of your spiritual power. Once the 'singularity' is born, it will slowly absorb your spiritual power for a collapse reaction."
"During this ti, your brain's capacity for spiritual power doesn't actually change. When it feels like your spiritual power cannot increase anymore, you can choose to trigger the singularity, causing it to explode in your mind and accelerate the collapse reaction."
"I suggest you perform the entire operation in the Dark Realm to prevent unnecessary troubles due to panic from your first breakthrough."
"..." Listening to Xu's thod, especially with so dangerous terms, made Li Zheng uneasy: "Is this process safe?"
"Safe or not, why are you worried when I'm here?" Xu reached out and patted Li Zheng's shoulder, only for his hand to pass through Li Zheng's body, "Co on, create the singularity first."
Xu gestured for Li Zheng to sit cross-legged, "Relax your mind, I'm going to guide you through a simulation of the consolidation process this ti."
