Revelation of the Way of Heaven

It is said that the library of Mingde University is the largest in the province, with a collection of more than 200 million books covering all aspects of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign literature. It is simply an ocean of knowledge.

The library has five floors and a quiet environment, making it a great place to read, study, and even meet your dream girl. As a result, the reading rooms are usually packed, and you can only get a seat if you arrive very early in the morning.

Qin Xiaochuan entered the library in the afternoon, so naturally there was no seat available for him. However, he didn't intend to stay there for long; he was only there to look up some information.

Some information about spiritual power.

Although he arrogantly expressed his disdain for Su Chen at noon, he actually had no idea about the spiritual power test. He didn't even know what spiritual power was, so how could he guarantee that he could pass the test?

So, just to be on the safe side, Qin Xiaochuan decided to first find out what spiritual power actually was, so he could be mentally prepared. Otherwise, if he failed the spiritual power test, he would lose face big time and probably wouldn't be able to face Ruoyi again.

After returning to his dormitory, he first searched online for explanations about spiritual power, but there were so many different opinions online, some true and some false, that he couldn't tell which one was truly reliable.

Having no other choice, he went to the library and looked for a book about spiritual power. He thought that at least the contents of the book should be relatively credible.

He first swiped his campus card at the library administrator, who gave him a pair of cards. He then took the cards and walked towards the rows of bookshelves.

He slowly walked along the aisles of the bookshelves, intending to find the category of spiritual studies first, but after wandering around the library two or three times, he couldn't find that category at all.

How strange! If there's such a department, how come there aren't any books on it? He refused to believe it, so he looked at the book distribution map on the wall again, but still couldn't find the category he was looking for.

Having no other option, he went to the librarian and asked, "Why isn't there a spiritual category here?"

The administrator, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, glanced at Qin Xiaochuan with some curiosity after hearing his words, then asked instead of answering, "You're looking for books on spirituality."

Qin Xiaochuan nodded.

"There is indeed no category for spiritual studies in the library." The librarian adjusted his glasses and then continued, "If you really want to find books on this topic, you can try looking in the category for Chinese classics; you might be able to find something there."

"Thank you!" Upon hearing her words, Qin Xiaochuan immediately smiled and thanked her, then eagerly headed towards the category of Chinese Classics.

However, there were simply too many books on traditional Chinese culture, almost taking up half a floor. After all, our ancestors left behind so many wonderful things, which can be described as inexhaustible and endless. But now, all these wonderful things were causing him a dilemma.

Looking at the rows of bookshelves, Qin Xiaochuan almost felt like crying; he didn't know where to begin.

Although the administrator told him that there might be the book he was looking for inside, he didn't say which section those books were in. Of course, she certainly didn't know either, otherwise she wouldn't have said that she "might" find it.

These books are further divided into many subcategories under the category of Chinese studies. Qin Xiaochuan started by looking at the categories that he thought might be related to spiritual studies, such as the I Ching, Taoist scriptures, and Buddhist scriptures. Sure enough, after searching for a long time, he actually found a book that was related to spiritual power.

That book must have been published in the last few years. The cover looked very strange, and the title was particularly long: "A Great Discovery That Could Change the Fate of Mankind - Spiritual Mechanics".

When Qin Xiaochuan saw the book, he was quite excited. Putting everything else aside, just because of its long title, he felt that the contents must be very reliable.

He quickly pulled the book from the shelf, randomly flipped through a couple of pages, and sure enough, it was full of words related to spiritual power. He couldn't help but feel proud of his discerning eye and taste.

So he took the book to the librarian to register it. Just as he was about to leave the bookshelf, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a book on the shelf called "On the Soul".

It was a very thin book, almost unnoticeable when tucked among a pile of books, but its cover was brand new, probably because few people had read it. Of course, Qin Xiaochuan noticed it not because he had made any special discovery, but because its title contained the word "spirit".

The reason is quite simple: he is now extremely sensitive to the word "spirit".

He scratched his head, thinking that he might as well borrow a few more books so that they could refer to each other. So he took out that book as well, randomly flipped through a few pages, and found that it also contained words related to spiritual power.

He was secretly pleased, and then found two more similar books on the bookshelf before going to the administrator. After registering, he immediately ran back to his dormitory with the books in his arms.

When he returned to the dormitory, Gao Xiang and Ma Qichao were playing League of Legends again. When they saw him come back, they asked if he wanted to play together.

Qin Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "You guys have fun," and then he eagerly opened the book, "A Great Discovery That Could Change the Fate of Mankind - Spiritual Mechanics," and started reading.

But after flipping through a few pages, he was disappointed. The book looked as long as its name suggested, but the content was just about the existence of spiritual power in the world. The rest of the content was about recording various things to prove this point. To put it bluntly, it was a collection of supernatural stories.

After flipping through a few chapters, he couldn't bear to read any longer, so he threw the book aside and sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected this book to be so unreliable; it was such a waste of such a long title.

Thinking this, he picked up the book "On the Spirit and Soul" again and started reading. But after reading a few pages, he was suddenly struck by what he found. He hadn't expected that this seemingly inconspicuous little book would contain such unexpected content.

This book, "On the Spiritual Soul," systematically explains what spiritual power is and how the human body generates it.

Science has always been the sole basis for explaining everything in the world. However, there are many things in the world that science cannot explain. In other countries, this part is usually called the unknown realm, while in my country, it is given another name: metaphysics.

Spiritual power is part of metaphysics, and the term "spiritual power" actually originates from the Yin-Yang theory of our ancestors.

As for what spiritual power is, the explanation in "The Theory of Spiritual Soul" is: spiritual power is a mysterious energy generated within the human body, and it exists in contrast to physical energy.

As we all know, when people describe how strong a person is, they usually refer to their physical strength, and how long physical strength can last is referred to as physical endurance. Due to the influence of materialism, people have always believed that physical endurance is the entirety of a person's strength. However, the "Spiritual Theory" believes that spiritual power is also a part of human strength.

Unlike obvious physical abilities, spiritual power is a hidden, ethereal, and almost unknown force that is difficult for ordinary people to detect. Only through certain cultivation can one sense its existence.

So how exactly is spiritual energy generated within the human body?

The answer is also found in "On the Spirit and Soul," but this answer starts with the legendary soul.
