Chapter 191 Spiritual Space
Once Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu distributed the Muscle Firming Pills, their entire faction became silent .
That was because everyone had secluded themselves in their immortal caves, borrowing the Muscle Firming Pill’s energy to quickly stabilize their realm .
Only once the realm was stabilized could they continue cultivating . Only then could they keep their foundations stable .
Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu had also secluded themselves in their own rooms . Since they were just stabilizing their realm, they also deactivated the spirit stone formation to avoid wastage .
In their entire faction, only Long Chen didn’t need to be secluded . However, he had something even more important he had to do . Right now he was in his room, his Spiritual Strength going through the information within the jade tablet .
“Damn, they’re really swindlers . It’s this easy?” Long Chen couldn’t hold back from cursing . The principle behind the opening of a spiritual space was incredibly simple .
To open a spiritual space, split your Spiritual Strength into two opposing poles within the mind-sea and open a third space between .
That space was similar to a spatial ring . But every spatial ring contained a space fragment . All the space ring had to do was connect to that space fragment .
Above the land were many wandering space fragments . It was said that in ancient times, gods had fought a huge war that had smashed apart space and destroyed stars . Those space fragments were what were left behind .
But as for whether or not that was true, no one knew . All people knew was that it was possible to use a special technique to merge a space fragment into a ring, forming a spatial ring that could easily store items .
The only fault was that a spatial ring’s space was static and it was impossible to store living things . Even plants would also quickly die within it .
As for this spiritual space, it was different . It was a space formed from his Spiritual Strength . That was a space located between his eyebrows . It was always connected to his mind .
However, it couldn’t store things like spatial rings . It could only contain housepets that were also connected to his mind . Frankly speaking, it was just a housepet space .
That was why that senior apprentice-brother had given Long Chen a warning when he had seen Long Chen wanting to buy it .
“Damn whoever set these prices . I curse your child’s chin to be bigger than thiry forehead,” Long Chen muttered a curse .
He also hated himself at the moment . It was something so simple . Even without this secret tome, if he had just tried it himself a bit, he probably would have had a fifty percent chance of succeeding .
Thinking of how he had spent sixty-three thousand points on such a simple principle, his heart dripped blood .
Taking a deep breath, he put away those thoughts . He had to find a way to make get more points . Regret was useless . It was more important to open his spiritual space .
The mind-sea was located in the space between a person’s eyebrows . That was the place all a person’s knowledge and memories gathered .
This was the most important spot of the entire human body . The hardest part of the human head was the forehead, while the weakest spot was between the eyebrows . The bone there was extremely thin .
And it was precisely because of that that mental energy was emitted from that location, allowing you to be able to sense danger at the earliest moment .
If a person were to stick a steel needle into any other part of the body, it wouldn’t cause any damage . You might not even feel it .
But if you were to pierce such a sharp object between the eyebrows, you would instinctively try to avoid it . That was the reaction of mind-sea . It was the same in all people .
That weak bone allowed one’s mental energy to flow out without restriction . It was the most direct route .
The mind-sea wasn’t a true acupuncture point, but a kind of generic term for Spiritual Strength . It could also be called the sea of consciousness .
When cultivators looked inside themselves, they saw their Spiritual Strength surged and flowed like a sea, causing them to call it that .
Within his mind-sea, Long Chen gathered all his Spiritual Strength . As if splitting an ocean, his Spiritual Strength split into two spiritual dragons .
Under Long Chen’s urging, the two dragons roared and began to race around each other . As they did, a vacuum formed between them .
As their speed increased, they became like a huge twister . The core of that twister began to change .
Outside that space, Spiritual Strength was crazily dashing around . But inside it was completely still . As Long Chen increased the strength of his Spiritual Strength, the inner portion grew into a vacuum three hundred meters in diameter .
According to that secret tome’s recordings, that vacuum was his spiritual space . As long he placed his own spiritual imprint on top of it, it would be ready to absorb his housepets that were connected to his mind .
It was no wonder Long Chen would curse . This was extreme simple; the monastery really had swindled him . If someone had just given him a random hint, he wouldn’t have needed to spend so many points .
“Since I’m opening it, I might as well make it a bit bigger . ”
In any case, he might as well make Little Snow more comfortable inside . Long Chen continued to urge his Spiritual Strength, causing those two spiritual dragons to increase their speed .
The spiritual space began to quickly grow . He only stopped once it was ten times the diameter, and he only stopped because he felt he had pushed his Spiritual Strength to the max already . He wouldn’t have been able to continue going without injuring his spirit .
This three thousand diameter spiritual space was like a transparent ball . Strange lines slowly floated down into the ball . Those lines were Long Chen’s spiritual imprint .
They were like a huge lock, tightly keeping this space under control . Only he would be able to open it .
Those lines turned into countless spots that covered the entire ball .
Long Chen realized those small spots were smaller versions of the locks . They were quickly absorbed into that ball .
Once those lines completely disappeared, Long Chen found that the entire spiritual space had essentially become a part of his body, and he was able to control it with just a thought .
“Unfortunately Little Snow isn’t with me,” sighed Long Chen . After being separated for this long, he really was missing that fellow . Little Snow had been with him since he had been the size of a palm . In order to find him, Little Snow had travelled over thousands of miles of wild terrain, almost losing his life . Their feelings for each other had long since become incomparably deep .
Before entering the trial region, Long Chen had told Little Snow to go to the edge of the monastery and wait for him . Once he had made his preparations he would go find him .
Although he missed him, he knew that as a Scarlet Flame Snow Wolf that was an overlord amongst third rank Magical Beasts, his power was great enough that he wouldn’t encounter any real danger .
Now that he had opened his spiritual space, Long Chen began to think about what to do next . Now he had already refined the beast flame . With the Flame Salamander’s blue flame that was ranked ninety-seventh on the beast flame rankings, his combat strength had once more greatly risen .
But thinking about his fight with Wu Qi, he knew that was far from enough . That was because the power of his Pill Flame was directly related to his cultivation base .
His current Pill Flame had already merged into his meridians . Long Chen’s spiritual qi was slowly nourishing it, increasing its power .
The degree at which Long Chen’s spiritual qi nourished it was over ten times greater than what a Blood Condensation cultivator was normally able to accomplish . But in comparison to those who had jumped past the barrier and had reached the Muscle Rebirth realm, it was far too lacking .
As the first major chasm of cultivators, the Muscle Rebirth realm was a huge barrier . After surpassing that barrier, one’s spiritual qi would explosively multiple by dozens of times .
Long Chen was already far behind now . Furthermore he was also extremely sullen at the moment, as according to the monastery’s rules, new disciples could not leave the monastery for the first month . So he had no way to go get Little Snow either .
As for the Alioth Pill’s medicinal ingredients, he had seen quite a few in the Xuantian pavilion, but each of them was incredibly expensive, easily in the thousands of points, perhaps in the ten thousands .
As for the Netherwold Ghost Steps he had tricked Gui Sha into teaching him, hs meridians were not wide enough to train in it . As soon as he tried to use it, he would feel an intense pain from his meridians as if they might explode .
That actually didn’t sadden Long Chen . He was actually quite happy to have obtained such a precious treasure .
It was even possible that the Netherworld Ghost Steps was an even higher class than Split the Heavens since he was still unable to train in it . Adding on how hateful Gui Sha’s expression had been, he knew that it was definitely a priceless treasure .
He couldn’t get Little Snow, he couldn’t study Gui Sha’s footwork, he couldn’t buy medicinal ingredients, and he was unable to obtain third rank Magical Beast blood essence . He found he really had nothing he could do anymore .
But then he suddenly thought of a certain location within the Xuantian Monastery . Taking a glance into the immortal cave, he saw that Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu had both drunk a cup of Jade Butterfly Queen Bee Crystal and had entered their meditative states, trying to quickly stabilize their realm .
Long Chen quietly left and ran to a building on the western part of the Xuantian plaza . This building was extremely ordinary, looking like a regular house .
At the top of it was a large signboard: Mission Distribution .
Long Chen walked in, seeing two bored maidens chatting . The rest of the room was empty of people .
“Is this the place to receive missions?” asked Long Chen, wondering if he had come to the wrong place .
“Yes, this is where the monastery distributes its missions . You can choose missions here, and after accomplishing them, you can come get your points,” smiled one of the maidens .
Long Chen saw that both these maiden’s auras were extremely powerful . They were both Muscle Rebirth experts, and he assumed they must be senior apprentice-sisters .
“Can you let me see what missions there are?” asked Long Chen .
“No problem . All the missions are here . ” She smiled and took out massive book, giving it to Long Chen .
Opening the book, he saw there were all kinds of missions .
Each mission all had a number of points beneath it, numbering from the tens to the thousands .
The missions were also split into four levels . The fourth level of missions were extremely easy . It was basically just guarding, patrolling, and other labor . Each day you would only be able to obtain twenty to fifty points .
The third level’s missions involved gathering medicinal ingredients, raising Magical Beasts, being assistants for alchemists or perhaps Forging Masters . That kind of work required specific skill sets . After accomplishing these missions, you could obtain one hundred to five hundred points .
The second level’s missions were mostly missions outside the sect . Perhaps it was acting as a bodyguard in the outer world, being an escort, or eliminating dangerous things . This kind of mission usually required more time, but the rewards were much more generous . They were in the thousands to the ten thousands of points .
But when he reached the first level missions, he saw that there was nothing there .
“First level missions are very urgent and aren’t available all the time . There might not even be one in a year,” explained that maiden .
Long Chen nodded . He asked, “Then what kind of missions can I choose?”
Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well as do this .
“I’m sorry, but right now you do not have the qualifications to accept any mission . ”
