Chapter 192: Breakthrough to the Ascendant Rank
Chapter 192: Breakthrough to the Ascendant Rank
Not only was Li Yuan's spirit power continuously breaking through and transforming, but Liu Jing, who was not far away, had also consumed the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit.
Both of their spirit powers were soaring.
... Li Yuan's consciousness remained clear, experiencing the transformation of his spirit power. In less than half an hour...
"Your spirit power has increased from 28.9 to 29.0."
"Your spirit power has reached 29, and your spirit awakening limit has increased to 35%." Two consecutive divine palace notifications flashed.
Li Yuan's Divine Palace panel underwent corresponding changes.
"Hmm?"
"As I had guessed, every time I break free from the Divine Palace's shackles and want to further increase my spirit awakening limit, my spirit power must be enhanced." Li Yuan thought to himself.
He could understand this.
The Divine Palace panel was connected to the Mind Divine Palace, which was located within the mind world.
Therefore, it was only natural that the stronger one's spirit power and mind world were, the more abilities one could discover within the Divine Palace.
"However..."
"I had thought that a spirit power of 26 would increase the spirit awakening limit." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "I didn't expect that only when my spirit power reached 29 would the spirit awakening limit reach 35%."
"What a pity."
"After reaching the spirit awakening limit, killing aliens will no longer provide spirit nurturing materials." Li Yuan muttered to himself, "What a waste of spirit nurturing resources."
Otherwise, with the large number of flying serpents Li Yuan had killed in Flying Serpent Valley, he could have directly accumulated his spirit awakening level to 35%.
But Li Yuan was not in a hurry.
Even if he reached 35%, it would still be impossible to infuse essence energy into his body, and the second spiritual guidance was still a distant dream.
"Spirit..."
"Heaven and Earth!"
"As expected, the stronger the spirit power, the clearer the perception of the mysteries of nature." Li Yuan silently savored the numerous benefits and changes brought about by his enhanced spirit power.
His consciousness remained clear.
The speed of his thoughts increased.
Most importantly, he could now sense the subtleties of his body more easily and perceive the outside world with greater clarity... Capturing the subtle fluctuations in the heavens and earth was much easier than before.
"No wonder many Essence Warriors struggled to reach the fourth level of skill after decades of early cultivation." Li Yuan's mind raced with various thoughts, "Later, they happened to obtain some spiritual treasures, which transformed their spirit power, and ultimately, they became top-tier Essence Warriors."
Life's encounters are truly mysterious.
Understanding is even more unfathomable.
Undoubtedly, spirit power acts as an amplifier, multiplying one's innate talent and understanding exponentially.
Swish!
The power transformed from the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit continued to rage within Li Yuan's body.
Continuously enhancing his spirit power.
"Your spirit power has increased from 29.0 to 29.1." Another divine palace notification flashed.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two hours had gone by.
"My spirit power has reached 29.7." Li Yuan glanced at his Divine Palace panel.
It was very close to the Second Rank limit.
"Since breaking through to 29, the growth of my spirit power has not slowed down, but the speed of increasing spirit power levels is gradually decreasing." Li Yuan noticed this, "Moreover, as time passes, the effectiveness of the spirit fruit is rapidly declining."
The higher the cultivation level, the greater the gap between each level.
Additionally, the first Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit had an excellent effect, but the second one was much less potent.
"Increasing spirit power from 29.1 to 29.2... I'm afraid the gap will be even larger than that between 28.7 and 29." Li Yuan thought to himself.
He roughly estimated the remaining power of the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit.
Li Yuan realized that it was impossible for his spirit power to surpass 30 levels today.
But Li Yuan was already extremely satisfied.
"I didn't know the gap at spirit power level 29 would be so significant." Li Yuan thought, "Without the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit, it would have taken at least a year of normal cultivation using visualization techniques to increase my spirit power from 28.4 to 29.9."
One Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit saved a year of cultivation?
It was worth it!
In reality, it would have taken Li Yuan a year to cultivate using visualization techniques, but for many ordinary Essence Warriors, such a transformation would be unattainable in a lifetime.
...
In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.
"Huff!"
Liu Jing, who had consumed the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit earlier, slowly opened his eyes. His aged face seemed to have become much younger, and his eyes were brighter, revealing a slight smile, "The Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit truly lives up to its reputation, and its effect is even more powerful than what's recorded in the database."
"Just one fruit..."
"Has increased my spirit power by six or seven times. I estimate that even among top-tier Essence Warriors, this is quite impressive." Liu Jing marveled to himself.
He gently closed his eyes.
With a stir of his mind, he sensed his entire body. Previously, due to his weak spirit power and the recent breakthrough in Mind Penetration, his perception of the countless subtle forces was somewhat blurry.
But now, he effortlessly sensed every single force within his body.
This was the advantage of enhanced spirit power.
"Ten years to reach level 28?"
"If I have ten years, I'm confident I can reach level 28." Liu Jing made a silent vow, reflecting on the past two days.
He had initially planned to come only to protect Li Yuan.
But what happened? He first fought several Second Rank Flying Serpents, then walked the line between life and death, broke through in his skills, and finally obtained the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit.
It was truly a twist of fate.
"Li Yuan is indeed my lucky star." Liu Jing subconsciously looked towards Li Yuan.
He had grown very fond of Li Yuan.
"Although Li Yuan's skills are strong, he is still a First Rank Life Tier, and his spirit power is probably not as high as mine." Liu Jing thought, "With this Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit, his spirit power will likely transform to a level close to that of an Essence Warrior... His cultivation speed will also increase significantly."
"He is truly an exceptional genius." Liu Jing silently regulated his breathing.
...
As Liu Jing finished his cultivation,
"Your spirit power has increased from 29.8 to 29.9."
The Divine Palace notification flashed.
After three hours of cultivation, Li Yuan's spirit power finally managed to break through to the brink of 29.9.
At this moment, Li Yuan could clearly sense that the medicinal effects of the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit within his body were almost completely depleted.
"Looks like it'll take some time for my spirit power to reach the Ascendant Rank," Li Yuan thought to himself.
But just at this instant—
"Boom!" Within Li Yuan's mind world, in the Mind Divine Palace, a series of thunderous roars suddenly erupted, causing Li Yuan's mind to ache intensely.
Unbearable pain.
"Hmm? The Mind Divine Palace?" Li Yuan detected the anomaly within his mind world.
With a thought, Li Yuan's consciousness descended upon the first level of the Mind Divine Palace.
The entire first level was now bathed in brightness, as if it were daylight.
Li Yuan's consciousness swiftly identified the source of the anomaly—the Great Sun Jade Platform.
In the past, it had always been dormant.
It was only when Li Yuan wanted to cultivate the Visualization Technique that he would use it.
But now, as Li Yuan's spirit power reached the Second Rank limit, it seemed to have responded, erupting with endless dazzling brilliance.
This radiance illuminated the entire Mind Divine Palace, causing it to tremble and sway.
"What's going on?" Li Yuan was shocked, as this was an unprecedented anomaly.
Without hesitation, Li Yuan's powerful and surging spirit power attempted to suppress the Great Sun Jade Platform, hoping to stabilize the Mind Divine Palace.
However, the moment Li Yuan's thought touched the Great Sun Jade Platform—
Boom! Li Yuan felt his soul tremble, and the surrounding scenery changed as the Mind Divine Palace vanished.
He found himself in an endless starry sky, and not far away was a terrifying, eternal sun, its radiance shining brightly.
The sun's brilliance was many times brighter than usual.
This was where Li Yuan had cultivated the Great Sun Star Sky Scripture in the past.
"It's because of this Great Sun," Li Yuan realized. The sudden eruption of the sun's brilliance had passed through the Great Sun Jade Platform, causing the entire Mind Divine Palace to become unstable.
Consequently, it affected his mind world.
It turned out that within the Great Sun Jade Platform, there truly existed a Great Sun, and it wasn't merely a product of imagination. This discovery left Li Yuan even more astonished.
How many secrets were hidden within the Mind Divine Palace?
Hiss! Hiss!
Under the sun's radiance, strands of scorching sunlight directly struck Li Yuan's consciousness, causing intense pain to surge through his awareness.
If it were a year ago, Li Yuan would have likely fainted from the pain within a second.
But now? With a 30-level willpower and a 29.9-level spirit power, Li Yuan could easily endure this terrible pain without changing his expression.
"Suppress it," Li Yuan understood. Unconsciously, he felt the message the Great Sun Jade Platform was conveying to him.
The fluctuations of the Great Sun could only be suppressed by his own power. If he couldn't suppress it, the continuous eruption of its radiance would cause fatal damage to the Mind Divine Palace and even his mind world.
At this moment, Li Yuan vaguely understood that the Mind Divine Palace wasn't entirely beneficial.
It was a double-edged sword, containing numerous hidden tests.
"Just like when I ascended to the second level, if my willpower and spirit power weren't sufficient, I wouldn't have been able to reach it, and my strength wouldn't have increased so quickly," Li Yuan realized. "Today, as my spirit power reaches 29.9-level, I've unconsciously reached a certain threshold of the Mind Divine Palace."
"But, to wear the crown, one must bear its weight."
"To fully adapt to the changes of the Mind Divine Palace, I must be strong enough to continue controlling everything." Li Yuan understood this point: "If I'm not strong enough, the Mind Divine Palace might even harm me."
This discovery instilled a sense of crisis in Li Yuan's heart.
But at this moment, he didn't have time to think deeply.
"Boom!" The Great Sun in the distant starry sky became even hotter and endlessly dazzling.
"Suppress it."
Li Yuan fully unleashed his consciousness, like a miniature Great Sun, attempting to suppress the Great Sun in the void.
Buzz— Li Yuan's spirit power, compared to this Great Sun, was naturally insignificant and unremarkable.
But as the controller of the mind world, his spirit power possessed a unique characteristic.
Swiftly, the scorching Great Sun calmed down, and the Mind Divine Palace stopped trembling.
However!
Hiss! Hiss! The strands of light only weakened and didn't completely recede, directly striking Li Yuan's consciousness, causing waves of excruciating pain.
Pain! Intense pain!
If it were an ordinary Essence Warrior, their consciousness would have scattered within moments. But Li Yuan persisted.
He stubbornly endured.
"I must hold on, hold on," Li Yuan silently repeated, filled with a terrifying obsession.
His weak yet resilient spirit power swept through the dark starry sky, causing the erupting sun's radiance to gradually subside.
And as the sun's brilliance weakened—
Buzz— Buzz— In the dark starry sky behind Li Yuan's consciousness,
shadows of stars seemed to appear.
Rustle— These stars emitted faint starlight, which wasn't visible under the sun's radiance before, but now, with the sun's brilliance receding, their starlight became visible.
They fell upon Li Yuan's consciousness, nourishing his spiritual awareness.
At this moment, it was as if the visualization scene from the past was playing out again, but a hundred or even a thousand times more intense.
In this instant, as Li Yuan's consciousness was immersed in this scene, his spiritual growth skyrocketed a hundred or even a thousandfold.
Silently—
Boom! It was as if a life limit had been shattered, and Li Yuan felt his spiritual awareness explode.
"Your spirit power has increased from 29.9-level to 30.0-level."
