Chapter 47 - Breakthrough!
🕑 Added 2025-02-03 05:13:00 +0000 UTCHengsheng had no trouble opening the Upper Dantian, as both the quality and quantity of his Spiritual Qi were more than sufficient. Additionally, his control over his own Spiritual Qi is unmatched by anyone in the same realms, thanks to the assistance of his main system.
His real problem is the Spiritual Symbol. What he expects from it is not a typical Spiritual Symbol like everyone else's but one that elevates his foundation to another level. Hengsheng uses his mind space power and a sample of Cultivation World Laws to determine whether his idea is feasible. He has many concepts, such as using his Dao Heart directly as a Spiritual Symbol or creating something akin to a treasure or an artifact that would be an ideal material to condense his Spiritual Symbol with system power.
After he goes through countless considerations and metaphors, he finally knows the best thing he can use to condense into his spiritual symbol—the answer is something he has never considered before—The mind space!
The mind space is a unique power granted to him after his reincarnation by unknown means. He did not want to understand it either because he knew he was too weak for such a concept. It bestows upon him omnipotent power over his imaginary world—an endless, white, empty space within his mind. This space is almost disconnected from the real world, and he can't use its power directly in the real world unless he supplies it with equal energy to produce the desired results.
However, that is not an effective method of using the power of mind space. The best approach is through the system, which allows him to utilize a fraction of the omnipotent power of mind space in the real world. This method costs him significantly less than a direct approach to accessing that power.
Hengsheng frowns at the unexpected answer he received and continues to contemplate what might happen if he proceeds. The outcome is that his mental space will lose its independence as a private world and become more connected to the outside, risking interference from an individual with mental or spiritual abilities. However, this isn't necessarily bad, as he still remains the supreme being within his mental space, just as always. If someone like that were to enter his mind space, they would be in serious danger trouble.
The real downside is that his mind space will completely forfeit other potential powers he could project into the real world in the future, leaving only the system power intact. The immediate effect would be that he will lose his slightly enchanted intelligence in the real world. Even if he has enough power to turn back time in the future, he can't do so by using his mind space ability. Although it may not seem lost now, once he gains enough power to wield the mind space at will, this all-encompassing omnipotent power of mind space will leave him without any weaknesses.
Using mind space as his spiritual symbol also benefits him. He sacrifices his potential power in the distant future, the timing of which is unknown to him. He received a significant boost in his system creation ability. The system's power to challenge the laws and order in the realm governed by the heavenly Dao will be permitted to some extent. It felt as if the heavenly Dao encouraged him on this path and personally granted him a power enhancement.
Hengsheng is currently weighing his options. Shortly thereafter, he decides to embark on this path and transform his mind space into his spiritual symbol. Although he will forfeit his potential omnipotent power through his mind space ability, he is confident that he can compensate for this loss by cultivating an exalted technique and system power.
With this determination, he began to develop a cultivation technique that utilized his mind space to condense a spiritual symbol! Within a minute, the system administrator, Blue, helped him generate several cultivation techniques, which Hengsheng reviewed one by one, each time raising his eyebrows in awe at their remarkable effects.
One technique grants him the ability to imbue an object with system power and awaken its wisdom, transforming it into a spirit system race—a lineage derived from the spirit race. This gives its wielder their own system power, and it can also cultivate to grow stronger like any other spirit race by absorbing spiritual qi and treasures. Hengsheng imagines wielding ten cheat-like artifacts, each with different system powers comparable to his life simulation system. It would completely obliterate any opponent.
Another one gives him a significant boost in his ability to create a specific type of system. With this, he might be able to develop a system that his current cultivation realm cannot achieve, such as a sign-in system that demands great insight into the Dao of Fate and Destiny to construct a legitimate system, not a knockoff one.
There’s even one that will double the system's reward after it results; it’s complete cheating on top of cheating.
After reviewing everything, he must choose one. Each technique has its own advantages. Although it makes his system feel more like a cheat, ultimately, he is not just a system user but also a system maker. Then, he chose the technique that gave him a massive boost as a system maker [The System World Creation Manual].
This technique does not boost his system power more than any other technique, but it allows me to transform his mind space into the System World. It will enhance his system creation ability, but the key factor in his choice is that it grants him the power to bring life to the systems he creates; they will become a system race—a race under his rule, not under the heavenly Dao, living within the System World—the world between thought and reality. They can grow stronger by gathering thoughts, destiny, causality, and other elements, even if they initially seem as useless as the Life Stealer System.
He believes that granting his system a real-life, rather than merely an artifact, intelligence will open many new possibilities for creativity and other things. One final advantage is that his system's capacity will no longer matter since the system will exist within The System World, which is unified with him. He doesn't have to expend a significant amount of Spiritual Qi to install or uninstall his system anymore; he can swap them at will. Even in the midst of battle, he only needs to create a system ahead of time.
Hengsheng opened his eyes and took a moment to gather his thoughts before he began working through the breakthrough process. He closed his eyes again but didn’t enter the mind space this time. Instead, he focused on the spirit body within him. Following his commands, his spirit body gradually guided his spiritual qi into his spirit core and toward his brain, where his upper Dantian resides. When his spiritual qi reached it, he directed it along the path of the cultivation technique, allowing it to erode the upper Dantian blockage gradually. He continued to follow the technique without making any mistakes.
A day passed after the last blockage was removed, and his spirit body entered the upper Dantain immediately. Then, with focused intent, he began the next step of the breakthrough. As his spirit body settled at the center of the upper Dantain, he proceeded with the technique, channeling a large amount of his spiritual qi to the Upper Dantain. Due to the movement of intent qi within his body, the air around him turned into a raging whirlwind.
The spirit body at the center of the upper Dantian has become a vital spiritual symbol as his spiritual qi circulates and condenses around it. Hengsheng diligently follows the pathway of [The System World Creation Manual]. Then, he brings out a bundle of branches and leaves from the divine tree stored in his space ring. He employs the main system's absorption function on them, gradually drawing in their qi, natural essence, and Dao essence to support his breakthrough process.
Another day passed, and the process continued as his spirit body became completely surrounded by dense Spiritual Qi and Dao essence. Then, the whirlwind of Qi, both inside and outside his body, stopped rotating. A moment later, his spirit body began to pull in all the Qi and Dao essence into the center, starting the condensing process. The pull was intense. Hengsheng felt the high pressure pressing on him. Inside the upper Dantian, a blue orb began to form, similar to his spirit core. The Qi runes and patterns wove together according to the process technique.
Finally, the last Qi rune fills the gap on the surface of his spiritual symbol. In the next moment, the most important part of the technique combines his spiritual symbol with the mind space to create The System World! As the Spiritual Symbol completes, it sends a Qi wave through his whole body, intending to summon his mind space. He does not know where it is located, but he assumes it is also inside his brain. Then, his mind space emerged from nowhere; it was the first time he saw what his mind space actually looked like, appearing inside the upper Dantian as a Flame—a chaotic red flame. Despite its appearance, it does not burn or seem a threat to him; instead, it calms him like never before.
He ignored it and moved on to the next step. The blue orb and the red chaotic flame collided with it, not causing an explosion; instead, they fused together—Then Heavenly Dao sent him the Mind tribulation.
