Chapter 425: Nascent Spiritual Awareness, Breaking through the Golden Core
Feng Ling had never been so glorious before.
She muttered to herself, “So this is what Feng Wei used to call a ‘rich woman’? Feels really good!”
Feng Ling quickly finished exchanging, splitting it evenly with Su Hao, each receiving over five thousand points.
Su Hao immediately exchanged for the complete set of Golden Core realm techniques.
Asking for Nascent Soul realm techniques, surprisingly, they could be exchanged in advance, as long as there were enough contribution points.
Nascent Soul realm methods, spells, and techniques were priced uniformly at 1200, totaling 3600.
Su Hao waved his hand grandly, “Exchange!”
Thus, Su Hao’s contribution points were left with just over 500, making Feng Ling feel sorry for him.
Moments later, Su Hao and Feng Ling walked out of the disciple record amidst the envy of the crowd.
Feng Ling walked beside Su Hao, gesturing and chattering, “Normally, exchanging contribution points for activating spiritual power stones is one point per stone, but now the price of spiritual power stones has doubled, one stone can be exchanged for two points.”
“And we have over five thousand spiritual power stones, which is ten thousand contribution points. Half is given to Feng Wei, leaving me with five thousand! Five thousand… how should I spend it? It’s too difficult to spend it all!”
Su Hao said, “Master, you first calculate how to use the contribution points! Quickly convert them into strength. There’s no point in keeping them, just let me know if you run out. I’ll go busy myself first.”
Feng Ling chuckled, “Master didn’t treat you in vain, hehehe! Go ahead! I don’t know if your master has returned yet, I’ll go find my master first!”
Feng Ling’s master, Feng Hua, had been searching for the Six-Winged Gale in Qingyu Youzhou for the past few years, avoiding the disaster in Lingshan Continent. It’s just unknown if he has heard the news of the disaster at the Yunzhong Valley and returned to the sect headquarters.
Su Hao watched Feng Ling leave, then leaped up, stepping on the long blade and flying back to the experimental base.
After returning to the experimental base, Su Hao immediately entered the cultivation state, striving to develop spiritual awareness as soon as possible!
After looking through the spiritual techniques of the Golden Core realm, Su Hao finally understood why it was necessary to develop spiritual awareness before attempting to break through the Golden Core realm.
The reason being the need for control over spiritual power to reach a new height.
It can be called ‘attaining subtlety’.
Because the way to break through the Golden Core realm is to refine spiritual power into the organs, which are the most mysterious areas of the human body!
“The complete set of techniques for the Golden Core realm and Nascent Soul realm are already in hand. Next, I’ll focus on cultivating spiritual awareness and strive to reach the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible! As for the Fusion realm… we’ll talk about it after obtaining the techniques.”
Cultivating spiritual awareness for a maximum of eight hours per day is recommended, exceeding this time will burden the mental strength and have adverse effects.
So, after practicing for eight hours each day, Su Hao would enter the pinball space to review the cultivation information previously recorded, or enter the storage space to study the properties of various materials. He would also take out the bodies of the Golden Core realm cultivators and Nascent Soul realm cultivators that he had collected earlier for dissection and research.
He would occasionally check the progress of the research on “spell transplantation” by Yashan and continuously adjust and revise Yashan’s research plan.
Every day went like this.
Now, this plan is no longer called “spell transplantation,” but has been given a new name, called “Exploring the Law of Multiple Transformations of Spiritual Power Properties.”
Naturally, the previous “spell transplantation” plan has been revised, adding many “collection” and “analysis” steps. Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping have also naturally become the objects of data collection by Yashan.
As for how Yashan teaches Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping, Su Hao couldn’t be bothered to care. He believes that Yashan can handle this matter well. After all, Yashan has received primary education!
…
Time flies, and a year passes quickly. Su Hao is eighteen years old.
Su Hao sat cross-legged with closed eyes, his whole mind immersed in the cultivation of spiritual awareness.
Vaguely, flames rose in the surrounding airspace, with white, blue, golden, light red, and rainbow colors.
Su Hao infused a strand of spiritual power into the core perception rune.
“Swoosh~”
Suddenly, Su Hao’s mind cleared, like a bright light in the darkness, or like clouds being blown away by the wind. The terrain and topography within a radius of eighty thousand meters appeared in Su Hao’s perception, like a huge sand table map unfolding in his mind, and Su Hao was the ‘god’ who piled up the sand table, overlooking all the details from above.
On the sand table, there were various-sized humanoid flames of different colors, sitting, lying, walking, or floating and flying… among them, faint red dots were dotted, large and small, densely packed.
Su Hao knew that these various colored humanoid flames were manifestations of cultivator’s spiritual power in his perception. White was for Qi Induction realm, blue for Foundation Establishment realm, golden for Golden Core realm, red for Nascent Soul realm, and rainbow-colored for Unity realm…
With each higher level, the quality and quantity of spiritual power would increase geometrically. Just like ants, hamsters, cats, lions, and prehistoric dinosaurs.
Yes, after a year of cultivation, Su Hao has mastered the prerequisite for breaking through the Golden Core realm, “spiritual awareness,” and has successfully undergone a new transformation in his perception ability:
Firstly, under the amplification of spiritual energy, his radar perception has reached a range of eighty thousand meters, almost enough to cover a small country, qualifying him to mark a red dot on a satellite map;
Secondly, the perception of terrain and topography is no longer just simple lines, but like a black-and-white sand table, vividly perceiving mountains, rivers, and valleys. If Su Hao concentrates, he can even outline the shape of a large tree;
Thirdly, the perception of cultivators no longer relies on the condensation degree of blood and qi as the judging criterion, but can clearly perceive the quality and characteristics of spiritual power contained within cultivators’ bodies. These are manifested in ascending flames of various colors. With just a glance of spiritual awareness, Su Hao can clearly distinguish who is in the Qi Induction realm and who is in the Golden Core realm. This is why everyone is so surprised when Su Hao kills cultivators in the Golden Core realm. Who has ever seen a hamster take down a cat?
Fourthly, there is a vague trend of integration between spiritual awareness and spiritual power, reaching an extremely high level of control over internal spiritual power, as easy as moving one’s arm. There is almost no risk of loss of control over spiritual power within the body.
Su Hao slowly opened his eyes and murmured, “After a year of cultivation, my spiritual awareness has finally met the requirements, and I can try to break through the Golden Core realm. Moreover, the transformation of this spiritual power has brought me greater benefits than I imagined, even my spiritual tentacles have experienced a leap in multiplication!”
Originally, he could simultaneously divide into over fifty spiritual tentacles, but now they have doubled directly, increasing to over one hundred.
This means that when Su Hao uses his spatial abilities, he is even more adept. Previously, there was still some delay in his teleportation, but now it is almost as he wishes. Within the range of eighty thousand meters, it has become his true domain, where he can shuttle at will.
Su Hao is confident that even if Unity realm cultivators are prepared, they will find it difficult to touch him.
The safety factor has increased linearly.
Not only that, but his attack power has also increased.
The number of flying swords Su Hao can control has skyrocketed from the original forty-eight to one hundred!
Launching over a hundred extremely sharp flying swords simultaneously can be described as covering the sky and the earth. Who dares to stop their sharpness? Not to mention the power of the attack after forming the Ninety-Six Flying Sword Formation!
“With my current strength, I have more than enough to protect myself! No need to worry about inexplicable dangers popping up somewhere. However, with the current quality of spiritual power in the Foundation Establishment realm, the endurance is too weak. I still need to break through to the Golden Core realm as soon as possible and then cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm in one go!”
Su Hao got up and left his meditation room. As he walked, his figure gradually faded and slowly disappeared on the spot. At the same time, not far away in the dining hall, Su Hao’s figure slowly appeared. As he walked, his figure solidified, reaching out to grab a piece of hot barbecue on the table and taking a bite. He then lay down, and a soft reclining chair appeared automatically under him, catching Su Hao snugly.
Since Yashan learned the construction of basic runes, he began to try using runes to achieve various functions. Keeping the food warm was one of the rune functions developed by Yashan. Su Hao thought that when Boss Wei came out of seclusion, he could still eat a hot meal.
Su Hao called out, “Little Light!”
“Little Light is here.”
The next moment, a blue arched virtual interface opened in front of Su Hao about a meter away. Similar to Yashan’s universal assistant, this was a function Su Hao had added to himself for convenient data viewing. It was quite handy to use, and he no longer needed to enter the pinball space from time to time.
Every time Su Hao ate, he liked to lie down halfway and browse through some of the latest information, including the progress of Yashan’s research, uploaded data, and the situation of teaching the three students.
These three students are Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping. As for Feng Ling, who had been clamoring to learn before, after a month of learning, she couldn’t bear the pressure from learning and completely withdrew, obediently returning to cultivation!
After browsing for a while, Su Hao nodded in satisfaction. “The research progress on the transformation law of spiritual power properties is pretty good. The first level of spiritual power transformation law has been classified, and there are preliminary equations. Although it’s not perfect, as the research goes deeper, the veil of spiritual power transformation will eventually be lifted.
However, these equations are too complex and obviously incorrect. The truly accurate equations shouldn’t be too complex. They still need to be continuously optimized to find the final accurate formula.”
After closing the data uploaded by Yashan, Su Hao opened the teaching progress of the three students. “I wonder where Feng Cheng and the others have reached!”
