Revelation of the Way of Heaven

It is unclear when exactly, but the folk legend began to include the idea that "humans have three souls and seven spirits".

Of course, this view has always been classified as metaphysics because science has never been able to provide evidence to confirm or deny it.

However, in "The Theory of Spirits and Souls", with the research on spiritual power in recent years, people have become more and more convinced of the existence of souls and souls, and have even used souls and souls to explain the causes of spiritual power and physical strength.

Humans have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are the Heavenly Soul, the Earthly Soul, and the Human Soul. The seven spirits are interdependent with the three souls, so the seven spirits are also divided into two Heavenly Spirits, two Earthly Spirits, and three Human Spirits based on the three souls.

The "Theory of Spirit and Soul" posits that a person's spiritual power is generated from the Heavenly Soul, while their physical strength is generated from the Earthly Soul. This ability to generate spiritual and physical power from the seven Souls is also known as "Soul Power."

Clearly, the stronger a person's Heavenly Spirit Power, the more spiritual power they generate; at the same time, the stronger their Human Spirit Power, the more physical energy they generate.

As for Earthly Power, it reflects a person's control ability. The stronger the Earthly Power, the easier it is to control one's spiritual power and physical strength, thereby improving the efficiency of one's use of spiritual power and physical strength.

A person's strength of courage is influenced not only by innate conditions but also by acquired cultivation. In other words, people can enhance their courage through cultivation.

Corresponding to courage is soul power. Soul power acts as a catalyst for courage, greatly enhancing its function and determining the speed at which one's courage increases during cultivation, as well as the limit to which courage can be raised.

However, one point needs to be made clear: soul power cannot be improved through cultivation. Of course, this is only because humans have not yet found a method for cultivation, and there is no accurate evidence to prove it.

Let's continue talking about spiritual power. Spiritual power is divided into five types according to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each type of spiritual power has a color: white, green, black, red, and yellow.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly thought of the liquids in the Witcher Ring. Could those liquids be the so-called spiritual power?

He immediately turned the book back, where it introduced the forms of spiritual power. In fact, the spiritual community has always debated the form of spiritual power in the human body. Some people say it is a gas, some say it is a liquid, and some say it is invisible, but none of them can provide accurate evidence. People only know that when spiritual power is released, it will emit different lights depending on the properties of the spiritual power.

In addition, after a long period of research on spiritual power, people now classify spiritual power into nine levels, from 1 to 9, based on its quantity and purity.

In conclusion, both soul power and spirit power influence the level of spiritual power, and their relationship is like a multiplicative one; it's hard to say which has a greater influence.

The book also mentions the spiritual power test at the end, which is what Qin Xiaochuan is most interested in, so he read it word by word.

It turns out that during the research on spiritual power, people discovered a type of stone that reacts to spiritual power, and they named it the Spirit-Testing Stone.

When a person releases their spiritual energy onto a spirit-testing stone, the stone will change color like pH test paper, turning yellow. People can judge the level of spiritual energy by the intensity of the color.

Everyone has some spiritual power, but most people only have level 1 spiritual power. Generally, the stronger a person's innate spiritual power, the stronger their soul power and spirit power will be (the most important thing is that their soul power must be strong, because soul power cannot be improved through cultivation).

In order to select better students, some spiritual academies abroad conduct spiritual power tests during the admission process, and only those with spiritual power level 2 are eligible for admission.

Since this is the case abroad, then as the first spiritual studies department in China, its admission model should be modeled after foreign ones, which means that Qin Xiaochuan's spiritual power must reach level 2 to have a chance of entering the spiritual studies department.

This is a very troublesome problem. He doesn't even know what level his spiritual power is. If his spiritual power is not up to standard, then there's nothing he can do.

It's worth mentioning here why Su Chen and his henchmen thought Qin Xiaochuan couldn't possibly pass the test?

The "Spiritual Soul Theory" states that spiritual power is actually a manifestation of the strength of a person's celestial soul, which in turn governs a person's spirit and wisdom. Conversely, the more intelligent a person is, the stronger their celestial soul is, and therefore the stronger their spiritual power is.

Therefore, someone like Qin Xiaochuan, who only got into the ancient mythology research major, might not actually have strong spiritual power.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaochuan immediately searched for spirit-testing stones online. These stones were not particularly precious minerals and could be bought online, but they were quite expensive, equivalent to a week's worth of his food expenses.

He felt like crying, but there was nothing he could do. Since he had already come this far, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy one. However, he would have to cut back on his spending next week.

He chose a shop that looked reliable, put the spirit-testing stone into his shopping cart, and then browsed other items in the shop. Before he knew it, he discovered an unexpected surprise.

It turns out that this shop sells all things related to spiritual power, such as divination cards, talismans for warding off evil, and Buddhist beads for exorcising demons, but it's unclear whether they are real or fake.

But he didn't know what the purpose of most of the items was, and their prices were truly astonishing. The spirit-testing stone he chose was considered cheap in this shop, while the other items were basically his monthly food expenses, some even more expensive, so expensive that he didn't dare to look at them.

So he quickly closed the shop, checked out his shopping cart, and then waited for the courier company to deliver the goods to his door.

After finishing all that, he began to study his magic ring once again. Now he knew that the liquid inside the magic ring was spiritual energy, but he didn't know how to use that spiritual energy or what level it was.

After studying it for a long time, Qin Xiaochuan still didn't gain anything new. The spiritual energy was still quietly rotating around the pattern in the space of the witch's ring.

Two days passed quickly. He spent both days in class. The first month's classes were few, only 12 classes a week (after all, there was only one major). He spent the rest of his time studying the Witcher Rings, but he still hadn't made any new discoveries.

Two days later, Qin Xiaochuan finally received the spirit-testing stone. After returning to his dormitory, he couldn't wait to open the package and take out the spirit-testing stone, which was a milky-white stone the size of a goose egg.

He held it in his hand; it felt slightly cool. Then he opened the book "On the Spirit and Soul" and, following the instructions, infused spiritual energy into the spirit-testing stone.

Before long, the originally milky white spirit-testing stone turned into a light yellow color, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this phenomenon.

If he had any doubts about what the book said before, he completely believed it the moment he saw the spirit-testing stone change color.

It's incredible that spiritual power truly exists in this world. What's even more incredible is that he can now control his own spiritual power, even though it's only used for testing. He still feels an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Thinking of this, he immediately found the comparison card that came with the spirit-testing stone. By simply comparing the color of the stone with that on the comparison card, he could know the strength of its spiritual power.

He compared the colors on the comparison card from darkest to lightest, but the more he looked, the heavier his heart became, until finally he found the exact same color on the comparison card as the spirit-testing stone.

And next to that color is the corresponding level of spiritual power 1.
