Chapter 1053: Chapter 313: Is This a Dream? Just Needless Worry!
Though Sun Miaoxing’s physical strength is more powerful than the average person, considering the sheer amount of elixirs ingested, his might is limited. At best, he possesses the strength level of a typical cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. In such a case, can his body’s strength keep up with the strength of his Divine Soul?
Or is it just as Yuchi thought, that Physique pertains not only to physical strength but extends to something deeper?
"Physique is more than just the body; it’s an affirmation of oneself, the stability of one’s Dao Heart, an acknowledgment of one’s existence. This recognition largely stems from the body’s strength, but there’s more beyond it. Typically, one can generalize, but cannot solely infer from physical strength."
Yuchi nodded slightly.
He roughly understood that the relationship between Divine Soul and Physique is inclusive rather than identical; one cannot simply equate Physique to the body nor Divine Soul to soul.
Sun Miaoxing continued, "So, you want to ask me how to resolve the wandering soul issue with your disciple, right?"
Yuchi nodded appreciatively, "Yes."
Sun Miaoxing understood and said, "The answer to this problem is straightforward—apply the correct remedy."
"Since her Divine Soul far surpasses her Physique, either weaken her Divine Soul’s strength or enhance the strength of her Physique."
"For the former, if you choose to weaken her Divine Soul, then you need to bring her to my Medicine Master Valley. We can assist you in weakening her Divine Soul."
"But if you wish to strengthen her Physique, you need not come to Medicine Master Valley. Take her out for a walk, let her experience and see what the real world is like. With accumulated experiences and memories, her body will grow stronger, and her Divine Soul will naturally choose to stay."
"Of course, both choices require a long treatment period. There’s another way to solve her problem—bring her to Medicine Master Valley, where we can extract her Divine Soul and replace it with one similar in character. She wouldn’t even know she has undergone treatment, removing any future worries when her Divine Soul is greatly weakened."
Yuchi quickly dismissed Sun Miaoxing’s last suggestion, "I will consider the first two options, but replacing her Divine Soul is out of the question..."
Sun Miaoxing had anticipated Yuchi would respond this way and feigned innocence, asking directly, "Why do you cultivators value your Divine Soul so much? The third option is actually the best choice—the most responsible option for your disciple."
"Firstly, her memories are carried by her Physique, so she wouldn’t lose any memories."
"Secondly, it’s only a slight change in Divine Soul character. As long as I find one compatible and similar to her original Divine Soul, her Divine Soul will gradually revert due to her body’s memories. She’ll remain herself."
"Thirdly, haven’t you been ill before? It’s okay if the body is damaged, but the Divine Soul can’t be? This logic is flawed; know that the Divine Soul undergoes subtle changes daily. If you’re skeptical of this treatment, then question if today’s you is still yesterday’s you."
"Fourthly, this woman has just undergone Grandma Sun’s treatment. Grandma Sun has mostly healed her. Once she fully recovers, she will feel no discomfort and remain unchanged."
Yuchi observed Sun Miaoxing’s increasingly triumphant demeanor and responded helplessly, "There’s a difference between repairing gradually and replacing outright. Repairing offers a chance to gain understanding over time, while replacing only resolves temporary issues."
"Like when a person’s body is frail, one wouldn’t consider switching bodies but would be compelled to train more."
"Especially with the Divine Soul, who knows what horrifying effects could arise after a replacement."
"I cannot let my disciple bear such risks. As the Sect Leader, I must conduct a risk assessment to employ minimal cost for maximum effect."
Watching Yuchi’s joyful demeanor, Sun Miaoxing didn’t intend to argue and replied quietly, "Alright, I’m just offering you a method. Whether you choose it or not, that’s up to you. But you truly are capable of persuading Qin Lanyu into your sect; you’re quite the persuader."
Seems you’re still holding onto that.
"Haha, it’s unavoidable, everyone has different views. If it could be easily altered directly, then how weak would this Divine Soul and Physique be? Know it’s quite stubborn," Yuchi said with a laugh.
Sun Miaoxing conceded and shifted the topic, "So have you decided? Will you choose to weaken the Divine Soul or strengthen her Physique?"
Well... Yuchi shook his head, "Not yet."
To weaken the Divine Soul would mean taking Xuexiang into Medicine Master Valley. Although others promised help, considering Medicine Master Valley is unfamiliar territory, bringing her alone there results in unpredictable outcomes.
