Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chen Ming now has four Spiritual Stones on hand: Whispering, Fear, Obsession, and the Stone of Chaotic Words which his decoy body in the Fourteenth Legion carries.

And the Stone of Chaotic Words on the decoy’s body is embedded in a Spiritual Revolver of a neutral nature.

Yet, his own Spiritual Energy nature, although he is not quite sure himself, judging from the totem pole previously absorbing his Spiritual Energy Fluctuation and causing him to vomit blood, doesn’t seem very neutral either, does it?

The mixture of these three different natures of Spiritual Energy didn’t result in any issues like it would for a Void Spirit Ability User?

Even if it’s due to the decoy carrying them, Chen Ming could always carry these things himself in the past.

Moreover, embedding Spiritual Stones into the weapon was a method that the boss specifically mentioned to him before.

Embedding an extremely negative Spiritual Stone into a neutral weapon, doesn’t that conflict with the idea that Psychics shouldn’t carry too many different types of Spiritual Ability Equipment?

Chen Ming had gotten used to it before, so he didn’t pay attention.

But now suddenly thinking back... isn’t this nonsense?

The boss certainly wouldn’t harm him, so could there be something he’s unaware of?

Is it that he himself has resisted the influence from the three different Spiritual Energy characteristics? Or is it the special nature of the Resonating Spiritual Stone? Or the special nature of the weapon?

Or perhaps... is it that he himself is quite special?

On the other side, He Gu heard the sudden sound of Chen Ming hitting the table and asked, ”What’s wrong?”

”Nothing, I just thought of something.”

”You mean embedding Spiritual Stones into Spiritual Weapons might enhance the weapon’s effect?”

He Gu understood what Chen Ming meant and said, ”Yes, you probably want to ask if this violates the principle of not carrying multiple different types of Spiritual Ability Equipment?”

”Yes.”

”You don’t really need to worry about this. When embedding Spiritual Stones into Spiritual Weapons, the usual choice is to use ones that are compatible with the Psychic or the Spiritual Weapon’s nature.”

”Even if a Spiritual Weapon for some reason isn’t compatible with a Psychic, ultimately a person will only carry two distinctly different types of Spiritual Attributes.”

”I mentioned to you earlier that a Mind Breaking Entity needs at least three different natures.”

”So this situation doesn’t really fulfill the conditions for a Mind Breaking Entity to appear.”

”Although slight nature deviations can still pose a risk for causing a psychic breakdown, it’s much better than having three different places with differing natures.”

”However, the probability that a Psychic, Spiritual Weapon, and the embedded Spiritual Stone have different natures is quite low, and typically nobody would do that. If someone did, we would remind them.”

”So don’t worry.”

”...”

In Chen Ming’s silence, He Gu continued, ”The Spiritual Energy Fluctuation of a Spiritual Stone typically doesn’t conflict with things within a Psychic.”

”More commonly, a Mind Breaking Entity is triggered by different types of Spiritual Ability Equipment rather than Spiritual Stones. Spiritual Stones are a very special existence, and the probability is negligible.”

Even though He Gu said this, Chen Ming had just seen someone transform into a Mind Breaking Entity due to a Spiritual Stone.

Oh, no, it seems it really wasn’t because of the Spiritual Stone.

That Void Spirit Ability User likely collaborated with the Spirit Beast Project being researched at the Zuo Jing Laboratory, leading to excessive contact with the Obsession-character Spirit Beast.

The Spirit Beast’s desire to expand is very strong and indeed can influence people around it, so the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation on the totem pole wasn’t from the Spiritual Stone but from the Spirit Beast’s Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.

This nicely explains why Chen Ming found the Obsession Spiritual Stone on the Spirit Beast and not on the totem pole.

But it still doesn’t explain why the existence of three absolutely different natures of Spiritual Energy Fluctuations within Chen Ming didn’t trigger his own psychic breakdown. Was it luck?

Chen Ming felt that discussing such intrinsic issues regarding Spiritual Energy with He Gu, whom he hadn’t known for long, wasn’t very appropriate.

So still uneasy, he immediately sent a message to the boss to inquire.

The boss’s reply was simply to reassure Chen Ming.

According to the boss, since Bai Quan provided the Spiritual Materials for the ”Ming” weapon, its nature is remarkably neutral and balancing.

This balancing feature of the Spiritual Material, while not being highly durable, is among the most adaptable and compatible materials across nearly all Spiritual Materials.

This point wasn’t mentioned in the certificate provided by Bai Quan, and Chen Ming only knew it to be a neutral material up until now, thinking it was somewhat weak.

But thinking about it, how could Bai Quan really give him garbage?

At the time, the boss only knew that Chen Ming had two similarly-natured Spiritual Stones and that Spiritual Stones weren’t easily acquired, which is why he just suggested embedding them to Chen Ming.

Adding to that is the fact that the Stone of Chaotic Words had evolved all the way from Whispering, and is entirely from the same source with no conflict issues.

So there was no need to mention those Mind Breaking Entity-related concerns at the time.

That should be fine.

Chen Ming figured it must be the special nature of the weapon’s material, with its inclusive capability, that prevented a psychic breakdown.
