Chapter 6 Cultivating Spiritual Power

  Buried the South Palace Light Crazy, Zhan Light Crazy had to make plans for his own future road. She believed that nothing was absolute, unable to cultivate spiritual power, waste? That would never be her Zhan Light Crazy! During this period, she had seen the survival methods of those spiritual cultivators and became even more determined to take the path of a strong person. Only the strong were respected by everyone and stood at the top of this world.

  With a flash, she entered the life space, and she remembered the effects of the spring water and fruit in the space. She was eager to try it out. However, no matter how hard she meditated and cultivated, she couldn't gather even a thread of spiritual energy in her body. Damn it! Frustrated, she scratched her head anxiously. The people here were all awakened to their spiritual powers from birth, with the elderly in the clan holding awakening ceremonies for children using spirit-measuring stones. But Nan Gong Zhi Qiang was denied from birth, and no one had taught her these things over the years. So, at this moment, Zhi Qiang felt a little lost - would she just drift along, being bullied by others? No, that wouldn't be her!

  Damn it, what to do, how to do? The ground was pounded again and again, and soon both hands were full of wounds, bleeding non-stop. Just then, a miraculous scene occurred, the bloodstains on the ground suddenly disappeared, as if swallowed by something, while a severe pain transmitted in her mind, the whole head seemed to be exploding, swollen and painful, face burned red, forehead veins burst open, unable to bear the intense pain, she fainted to the ground, lost consciousness, but the pain became even more pronounced, mercilessly torturing her.

  "Ah~" With a loud shout, Zhan Lightcrazy's body emitted a brilliant golden light that made it impossible to open one's eyes. In his mind, a book gradually took shape, shining brightly and radiating white light. He had finally made it through, but his entire body was now devoid of energy. Zhan Lightcrazy let out a sigh of relief as he lay down under the tree, waiting for his body to recover automatically.

  After an unknown period of time, she finally had the strength to move her little finger, and gradually her entire arm regained sensation. Using her hand to support her body, she managed to crawl to the edge of the spring and drink a few mouthfuls of water, finally recovering somewhat.

  What just happened? How did it suddenly become so painful, and then there was blood! What had formed in the sea of consciousness? Zhan Liangcui closed her eyes, focused her mind, and slowly relaxed her spirit. She saw that a book had appeared in the sea of consciousness, a huge one radiating golden white light. The book was written with large characters she didn't recognize, but somehow she could understand them - it said "Suí Xīn Bǎo Diǎn" (Follow Heart Treasure Canon).

  Is it the meaning of having what you want? Try to see, her greatest wish now is to cultivate spiritual power and turn ideas into intentions. Indeed, the treasure automatically turned the page, looking very heavy book pages were silently opened. What's strange is that although she can't see what font it is, she can understand what's written on it. The first page reads - Spirit Sudden Appearance.

  It's indeed a method of cultivating spiritual energy. Only the top section is written: What is referred to as spiritual energy is the heavenly and earthly energy that people absorb for the first time at birth. All things in heaven and earth have spirits, whether it be a tree, a leaf, a flower, or all living things. Among them, humans are the most capable of perceiving the spiritual energy. When a newborn baby absorbs this spiritual energy with their innate talent, they can use it to transform into spiritual energy within their body. However, not everyone has such talent. Apart from humans, animals and plants can also condense spiritual energy, but since their minds have not opened up yet, their cultivation speed is inferior to that of humans.

  Wow, so that's how spiritual power comes about. But Nan Gong Zhiqiao's body doesn't seem to have this innate talent! What is she going to do? Suddenly, she discovered that she could see the flashing golden light in space, gradually gathering on her own body, impacting every inch of flesh and blood, every tendon and bone. No way! Is it coming again? When the pain hit her body once more, Zhiqiao really wanted to curse, although it's said that one has to endure hardship to become a great person, but this "hardship" is happening too frequently!

  Grit your teeth and hold on, the battle is about to continue. As the infant grows up, the spiritual energy absorbed at birth will gather in the spiritual foundation and spread throughout the body's blood vessels, circulating endlessly until death or damage to the spiritual foundation. The spiritual power will gradually increase with continuous practice, forming different types of spiritual pearls in the spiritual foundation, with each upgrade accompanied by the formation of heavenly laws. The levels of strong practitioners are divided based on the intensity of their spiritual power, which are:

  Spirits: Primary Spirits, Intermediate Spirits, Advanced Spirits. (Colorless Magic Array)

  Spirit Master: Primary Spirit Master, Intermediate Spirit Master, Advanced Spirit Master (Grey Magic Array)

  Grandmaster, from lowest to highest, is divided into five levels. (The law array is pink)

  Soul King, from low to high, is divided into five levels. (The law array is red)

  Soul Emperor, from low to high, is divided into five levels. (The law array is orange)

  Ling Sheng, from low to high, is divided into five levels. (Fa Zhen is yellow)

  Each level has a different spiritual array underfoot when using spiritual power, with unequal spiritual stars displayed. Next is the division of the strong:

  Huang Qian Jing (divided into nine levels, Fa Zhen is green)

  Mystic Realm (divided into nine levels, with a blue-colored formation array)

  Terra Firma (divided into nine levels, with a blue-colored magic square)

  Tianxuan Realm (divided into nine levels, with a purple-colored formation array)

  There are other levels of strong people above, which are not shown for now.

  Upon seeing this, War Light became depressed and frustrated, unable to continue speaking. However, judging from the looks of it, there should still be even stronger experts out there! It's just that her level isn't at that stage yet, so there's no point in saying more.

  Cheer up and continue reading. According to the different spiritual properties, there are: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Dark, Wind, Thunder, and Ice systems. Whether human or beast, they all have spiritual property divisions, and most plants belong to the wood system.

  The professions on the mainland of Lingyin are: Spirit Cultivator, Alchemist, Beast Tamer, Artifact Refiner, Martial Artist, Mercenary, Merchant, and Ordinary Person. Among them, Spirit Cultivators are the most common and numerous; Alchemists, Beast Tamers, and Artifact Refiners are fewer in number and more prestigious; Martial Artists have stronger bodies than other professions; Mercenaries make a living by completing tasks through teamwork; Merchants maintain trade; and Ordinary People are the lowest level of existence.

  After a long time, Warlight finally gained some understanding of this continent. Just as she was distracted, countless starlights dispersed into her body, and the pain had already passed. When she opened her eyes, she found that the golden starlight in her body was exactly the same as the one in her life space. Was it a life element? It really made her guess correctly, this body didn't have the formation of spiritual power, so she couldn't cultivate, and the life element replaced the formation of spiritual power, providing her with great help. What she didn't know was that the life element not only increased her cultivation speed but also brought unexpected gains.

  Zhan light crazy Gu didn't have time to be surprised, and hurriedly followed the treasure book's instructions, gathering all these elements into the spiritual foundation, gradually forming a ball, and successfully obtaining it made her overjoyed. Just as she was about to quicken her pace and take another look at what else was written in the treasure book, she discovered that she couldn't turn to the second page. The clever her suddenly realized that she didn't have the "qualifications" to see further yet, believing that when she reached a certain height, the treasure book would open up for her. Today's harvest had already made her very satisfied.

  "Cluck cluck" sounds came from her stomach, Warlight Crazy decided to make an offering to the Temple of Five Organs after all! She flashed out of the Life Space and headed deep into the forest, remembering that there should be wild chickens, rabbits and whatnot here.

  She caught a wild pheasant, and her bold outdoor survival skills were impressive. She slaughtered it, plucked its feathers, removed the internal organs, and did everything in an orderly fashion. Although the flavor was a bit bland, she ate her fill.

  She washed her hands, put out the fire, and returned to the life space to practice. This life space is really good! Warm and safe, except for the sun not setting, there's no night, it's a great place to live and spend days at home, don't have to worry about someone or beasts sneaking up, don't have to worry about weather conditions, the dense life elements are suitable for practice, thirsty can drink water, hungry has fruit to fill the hunger, that's all there is to life!

  However, the next day, reality slapped her in the face. When she encountered a wild boar and wanted to try out her spiritual power, something astonishing happened - there was not a shred of spiritual power left in her body, just like an ordinary person, she barely dodged the boar's attack, before she could even process what was happening, she dodged another attack by the boar. Dammit, can't you see I'm thinking?! You stupid boar, if you don't get beaten to a pulp, you won't understand why flowers are so red!

  She took a deep breath, using her ancient martial arts skills to send the wild boar fleeing in disarray. She turned and ran, finally exhaling. But after catching her breath, she became entangled again - what on earth was going on?

  With a heavy heart, Zhan Light Crazy returned to the life space and began to re-cultivate. She sat cross-legged in meditation, feeling the elements of life surging wildly into her body, gradually forming a flowing sphere. Only then did she relax, it seemed that she could still cultivate spiritual power, but didn't know what reason caused the spiritual power to disappear. Putting down her worries, she decided to go to the city to buy some seasonings after all, roasting meat wasn't that delicious.

  After spending a day preparing everything, Zhan Light Crazy felt that life was still very good! However, on the third day, she wanted to go crazy, and after practicing her spiritual power for a day, it disappeared again. Unbelieving, she began to compete with this disappearing spiritual power, every day except for necessary eating, drinking, and sleeping, she was constantly practicing, even continuously increasing the intensity, even if it meant bursting her meridians until they were sore, she wouldn't give up. However, strangely, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much spiritual power she accumulated in her spiritual foundation, it would all disappear by the next day without a single bit left. Was there still something wrong with this body? Wasn't having a substitute for spiritual power, life elements, enough?

  A month of non-stop resistance, Zhan Lightcrazy was a bit disheartened, had she been too optimistic? Just as she was about to put the roasted golden fish in her mouth, suddenly acid reflux surged up, and she vomited it out, vomiting so hard that tears and snot flowed together. Was there something wrong with her body? She couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled, maybe she should go see a doctor, whether or not to cultivate spiritual power was a minor matter, the body was the capital of revolution, and capital couldn't be lost.

  So she could only throw away the fragrant roasted fish, put on her cloak, and head to: Yun City.
