Chapter 28: Ascending to the Realm of the Spirit

  There is still one more update at 12 midnight, please recommend and collect, tomorrow's ranking, I hope everyone will support it!

  After a short period of time, Shi Sheng's mind condensed into a vague whirlpool. He felt a vague mental force inside that was slowly flowing, but it had no substance at all. It could be sensed but nothing could be seen.

  "Opening up the realm of thought, the power of thought is like a vague whirlpool. According to Xiao Changlao's introduction, I am now considered an upgraded cultivator in the realm of enlightenment!" Shi Sheng felt it on one side, and his face had a faint smile.

  Buzz!

  Just as Shí Shēng was about to say something, suddenly, a faint tremor occurred in his mind, and it quickly started spinning, with the speed getting faster and faster, and the volume getting bigger and bigger, as if it was going to break through some kind of barrier. Shí Shēng once again fell into painful torment.

  His jaws clenched, his face deathly pale, Shi Sheng's body began to tremble slightly, the pain in his mind was not something an ordinary person could endure, and beads of sweat as big as peas dripped from his forehead.

  "Hmm!" A low hum, Shi Sheng seemed extremely painful!

  "Hold on!" With a sudden surge of emotions, he hastily controlled his mind and operated the Mind Force according to the way of Impacting the Spirit Realm. He slowly guided it towards the blurry vortex, which was supplemented by the Mind Force inside, causing its rotation speed to accelerate, but the pain did not alleviate in the slightest.

  "Can't sleep!" Shi Sheng felt his head spinning, his vision blurring, and even with his strong willpower, it seemed difficult to bear the kind of pain that was like his skull exploding.

  In my mind, that vague whirlpool slowly expanded until late at night, and the vague whirlpool suddenly transformed into a mysterious space of unknown, although it felt no bigger than a fist in my mind, but inside the whirlpool was another world!

  Whoosh!

  Just as Sheng was about to collapse and pass out, the swirling vortex finally stopped rotating and emitted a soft white glow that solidified in his mind!

  Inside the vortex is a space of over ten zhang in size, with a gray mist floating inside, slowly flowing within this space, almost covering the entire ground. From a distance, it looks like a sea of fog, but the upper half of the place is empty and devoid of fog, looking somewhat thin.

  At this time, a youth wearing a gray robe, slender in build, with handsome features and a pair of bright phoenix eyes, was standing on the ground in this space, with bright sparks flashing in his eyes.

  His figure was somewhat blurry, as if it wasn't a real body, and his appearance and shape were no different from those of Shi Sheng.

  "This is the realm of thought? The power of thought turns into a gray mist, forming a sea of fog that fills the ground. With just one movement of thought, you can project your spirit into the realm of thought and form a human-shaped shadow that can introspect various organs and bones inside the body."

  According to this sign, I should have been promoted to the Ascension Realm. Unexpectedly, after taking the Open Mind Pill, I directly advanced two levels! It seems that after stabilizing for a period of time, as long as I get the Gathered Mind Pill, I can advance to the Sea Transformation Realm!" Shi Sheng said excitedly.

  After a moment of contemplation, Shi Sheng shook his head again: "According to the separation of consciousness from the body, I should have been considered a Ling Spirit Realm long ago. It's just that I haven't opened up my spiritual realm yet. In that case, advancing to the Ling Spirit Realm is quite normal."

  After understanding the cause and effect, Shi Sheng's mouth curled up, his expression became somewhat agitated, and he could now clearly see the internal organs of his body, every organ, every muscle, even every cell movement, Shi Sheng could see it all clearly.

  These are not the biggest changes, what excites Shi Sheng is that his spiritual power finally has a place to store, he can clearly feel it, before he could only mobilize the temporary condensed thin spiritual power in his body, now all of them have turned into gray mist and stored in the spiritual realm, the power of his thoughts is nearly ten times stronger than before, even if he casts a small fireball, Shi Sheng feels that there will be no more burden.

  "Not only has the amount of spiritual energy increased, but it also seems to be more condensed than before. It should be an improvement in quality. The ancient cultivation system is indeed wonderful! Hehe!" Shi Sheng smiled.

  Now Shi Sheng has a feeling that the special functions on Earth are simply too simplified compared to the cultivation methods here, and have even lost their original luster. Except for the advantage of being able to cultivate to the point of leaving one's body without using a Dan, there is nothing else that can be compared to the ancient cultivation methods.

  "It's probably after many generations of evolution, with different environments and loss of resources, the perfect system gradually disappeared, and finally there was no more method for refining the Dan, it gradually evolved into the kind of cultivation method used by the old gods on Earth, which has a lot to do with the environment!" Shi Sheng shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter.

  Outside the window, it had unknowingly brightened up. After almost a day and night, Shi Sheng's boundary was finally thoroughly stabilized. He felt refreshed and his mood was great.

  He glanced at the small booklet left by Xiao Changlao in the distance, and with a thought, it flew into his hand with a whoosh. Shi Sheng slowly flipped through it.

  "The rules of the sect are quite numerous, but surprisingly, they don't prevent disciples of the same rank from fighting each other. It seems that unless someone's life is in danger, the higher-ups won't intervene. As a result, those with strength will become even more arrogant."

  "Huh? Under the Sea of Transformation, I can actually go down the mountain to cultivate at any time. It's only when I advance to the Sea of Transformation that I must cultivate at the mountain gate. In that case, doesn't that mean I can go down the mountain now?" Shi Sheng said excitedly.

  Feeling a bit stifled in the room, Shi Sheng thought for a moment before tidying up and leaving. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the building, two guardian disciples saw him slightly stunned.

  "You are not allowed to go out freely without permission. Today, after you pass the test, if you can become a formal disciple, we will assign you a token and uniform, and only then can you move in and out of the sect freely!" A guarding disciple said coldly.

  "Thanks for letting me know. I'd like to go down the mountain, but who should I tell?" Shi Sheng didn't mind the other person's attitude, it was better to be low-key when he first arrived.

  "Descend the mountain? Haha, who do you think you are? You haven't even been selected yet and you're already descending the mountain. Just obediently go back!" Another guarding disciple sneered.

  "What are you doing out here instead of cultivating properly?" Just then, Elder Xiao walked over from a distance with two attendants, seemingly preparing to preside over today's new disciple assessment.

  "Xiao Changlao, the disciple wants to go down the mountain for a trip!" Shi Sheng said.

  "Down the mountain... Huh? Ascension to Spiritual Realm?" Xiao Lao's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, his face revealing an expression of incredulity. Even if he was a genius, advancing to the Spiritual Realm in one night would be acceptable. But Shi Sheng advancing to the Spiritual Realm overnight, what kind of concept is this? The disciples on duty were immediately shocked.

  "Does the disciple know whether he can go down the mountain now?" Shi Sheng smiled slightly.

  After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Zhang suddenly smiled, seemingly in high spirits. He glanced at the two attendants beside him and said, "You two go ahead and preside over the new recruits' test, I'll be right there."

  Xiao Lao chuckled and said, "You little kid come with me, we'll talk about leaving the mountain later!" After saying that, Xiao Lao took Shi Sheng away from the place. The two attendants and the guarding disciples looked a bit dazed. (This chapter ends, next chapter is even more exciting!)

  (PS. There's another update at 12 midnight, please recommend and collect, let's rush to the top tomorrow, I hope everyone can support me!)
