Chapter 511 Breakthrough of the Mind! The Realm of Manifestation!
Around 17,000 years ago, Zuoshanke and Chen Yuan had a frank and open conversation.
He revealed his true identity to this disciple, and Chen Yuan also showed him his unique qualities.
The most important of these was the other party's experience of conversing with "Senior Yuan" and the many cultivation secrets obtained from this conversation.
The perfect divine body is one of them.
According to Chen Yuan, when he cultivates a perfect divine body, endless light will illuminate the universe, his image will be imprinted on the soul of every life, and the supreme rules will celebrate for him.
The mountain dweller slowly exhaled: "I didn't expect that this kid would actually succeed, and these characteristics are exactly the same as what he described."
"So, Chen Yuan has already surpassed the 100,000-fold genetic barrier?"
"But—regardless of how he broke through in such a short time, I heard him say before that to break through 100,000 times in genes, isn't it necessary to borrow the life structure of a World Beast King?"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest was somewhat puzzled. "If I remember correctly, the Beasts of this era are still in the early stages of development, so where did he find a Beast King?"
"Not to mention, when the World Beast King appears, the Supreme Rules will also manifest, but I didn't feel anything."
I don't understand.
Just then, the golden light that illuminated the entire universe disappeared, along with the image imprinted on the souls of all life in the universe.
"The phenomenon has ended."
"Perfect, instead of wasting my time thinking here, I'd better go ask that kid—wait, I can't get through."
Upon discovering that Chen Yuan had shut down all communications, Zuo Shan Ke was somewhat surprised. "Perhaps it's because he just broke through and needs to sort out his cultivation, or maybe he's preparing to break through to True God."
"No rush, let's ask him after he finishes his seclusion."
As for Chen Yuan's safety, he never worried about it. After leaving a message in the virtual universe, Zuoshanke ignored it.
Meanwhile, inside the Tomb Ship.
"I never expected that my breakthrough in spiritual realm would happen at this time."
Chen Yuan was also very surprised by this.
It should be noted that the last time he broke through to a higher level of spiritual attainment was when he was a realm lord.
Now he is the Lord of the Universe and is about to ascend to the level of a True God. This process has involved not only crossing many realms but also a long period of time.
In fact, because it had been so long, he had almost gotten used to it. After all, he had been unable to find a breakthrough opportunity, and Chen Yuan was prepared to stay in the Sitting Meditation Realm for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity for a breakthrough came just like that.
Just after the Earthling's main body broke through to the perfect divine body, he cultivated his other three avatars to the perfect divine body as well, following the structural diagram of perfect life.
Compared to the main body, the breakthrough of the clone was uneventful and did not trigger a second phenomenon. Everything was achieved silently.
However, just after his four bodies had all become perfect divine bodies, Chen Yuan's mind suddenly felt a sense of "completeness".
Just as one has gone through eighty-one tribulations and finally obtained the true scriptures, achieving perfect merit, his spiritual power suddenly rose to a new level.
Originally, Chen Yuan's spiritual realm was at the peak of "sitting in oblivion," which was already at its limit. However, after obtaining this power of "perfection," his mind underwent another ultimate leap.
In an instant, his mental power, which had been standing at the pinnacle, underwent another transformation and was about to soar to a whole new level.
"My primordial spirit body is about to undergo a transformation."
His primordial spirit is the embodiment of his own mental power, a product of the combination of will and energy.
The transformation of one's spiritual realm is actually the transformation of one's primordial spirit.
Full of anticipation, Chen Yuan waited and waited, but he never reached the point where his primordial spirit body would undergo a transformation.
"really."
The worst outcome still happened.
"Just like when I broke through to the state of meditation, my spiritual realm is now far removed from my original world, and there is no similar precedent in this world, so I simply cannot find a direction for a breakthrough."
Chen Yuan slowly exhaled: "In other words—there's no way forward, and I have to be the one to pave the way."
He had experienced a similar situation before when he broke through the Silent Meditation stage, so he did not panic this time, but calmly considered the direction of the breakthrough.
"Perhaps I can start with the most essential characteristics of the realm of divine manifestation."
His current spiritual state may be outwardly different from his appearance in Star River Emperor, but some of the most essential aspects are still interconnected.
For example, the Sitting in Oblivion Realm created by Chen Yuan also adopts the three realms of forgetting form, forgetting self, and forgetting boundaries. Another example is the earlier Embryonic Breathing Realm, which is essentially the breathing of the mind.
In this respect, the two worlds behave in complete agreement.
Now that he is about to break through to the realm of Manifestation, he can start by trying to understand the essential characteristics of this realm.
"The most crucial characteristic of spiritual manifestation is that the mind interferes with matter."
In the world of "Star River Emperor", there is a famous theory of the Three Realms.
The essence of the Three Realms is Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, which can also be called the spiritual world, the real world, and the human body itself.
The power of the mind is ethereal and cannot interfere with physical matter. To achieve mental interference with matter, there must be a bridge connecting the two.
To give a simple example, if a person wants to pick up a glass of water, it is not enough to just have the thought of "picking up water"; the thought must drive the body in order to perform the action of picking up water.
The original idea is that if the mind is to interfere with reality, there must be a vehicle to drive it.
This medium can be the physical body, mental energy, or energy itself.
The reason why Chen Yuan's primordial spirit body can influence reality is that he combines mental power with energy. With a physical carrier, the mind can influence matter in reality.
But the realm of manifesting sainthood is completely different.
The so-called manifestation of divinity is the ability of the mind to bypass the intermediate medium and directly interfere with the material world!
At this stage, the mind will become completely independent. Even without a physical body or any energy to drive it, it can influence the material world solely through the power of the mind!
Chen Yuan's primordial spirit body seems to possess great supernatural powers, but it still needs constant energy replenishment; otherwise, the primordial spirit will eventually degenerate into nothingness of spiritual power.
Upon reaching the Manifestation Realm, his mind no longer requires any energy supply, and he can accomplish far more than his primordial spirit body; he may even become immortal.
"The problem now is that my primordial spirit is already closely integrated with energy. Once the two are separated, the primordial spirit, lacking energy supply, will immediately degenerate and will be unable to advance any further."
Chen Yuan rubbed his forehead; this was what had been troubling him all along.
When he advanced to the stage of "sitting in oblivion," he chose to use energy as a vessel for his spiritual power, which ultimately formed a powerful primordial spirit body.
He has now reached the peak of the Meditation Realm. His mental power and energy have merged too deeply and are already inseparable. Forcibly separating them will only cause his mental state to decline.
However, if it is not separated, his mental power will never be able to break free from the shackles of energy, nor will it be able to transform into the next stage.
"This is a real headache. I remember in the Star River Emperor world, I also followed the path of combining mental power and physical energy in the early stages—"
How did they get past this step?
He quickly found the reason in his memory.
"So it's a rune—"
Chen Yuan fell into deep thought, using runes as a medium to allow the power of the mind to directly draw energy, thus achieving a close integration of mind and energy.
However, the Way of Runes was created under the special environment of the Star River Emperor World, and it is incompatible with the Swallowed Star World. He simply cannot imitate this path.
"However, perhaps I can try a different approach—"
To put it bluntly, the reason why his mental power fell from the state of oblivion after leaving the energy source is ultimately because his mental power lacked a support, that is, a vessel for existence in the world.
If he can find another thing to serve as a new vessel for his spiritual power, then he can completely abandon energy and allow his spiritual realm to undergo a transformation.
"The Star River Emperor world uses runes. Although this world doesn't have runes, it may have similar things—"
Suddenly, Chen Yuan had a flash of inspiration: "The Great Dao!"
"That's right. The power of the Great Dao also does not involve energy. It is the underlying rule that supports the entire Origin World. In essence, it is extremely similar to the runes of the Star River Emperor."
"Over there, runes are gathered into laws, laws are gathered into the Great Dao, and the Great Dao is gathered into divine essence."
"This world has no runes or deities, but it has laws and the Great Dao. Although the two may not be the same thing, their underlying logic is the same."
In any world, laws and principles are the fundamental rules that constitute the world; this is the unchanging underlying logic.
In other words, although Chen Yuan cannot use runes, he can use the more powerful power of the Great Dao to carry his mind, and the effect will definitely be stronger than using energy as a carrier!
Because—the fusion of the mind with the power of the Great Dao was the route he had envisioned.
However, at that time he planned to first advance to the Manifestation Realm, then open up the Great Dao, and finally merge the two.
"As for now, it seems like the opposite is also possible."
97
Chen Yuan blinked.
He initially conceived of it that way because the Great Dao of the Mind did not exist in this world. Even if he wanted to carry the mind, he could not find a vessel, which is why he put opening up the Great Dao first.
But Chen Yuan suddenly realized that the situation was completely different now. Before he opened up the Path of the Mind, he had already obtained the power of the relevant branches.
That was a dream!
A dream branch obtained from the Hundred Saints Refining Soldiers Diagram!
After so many years of testing, Chen Yuan had already determined the essence of the dream power within the weapon-refining diagram: it was indeed pure mental power.
In other words, he was at least 90% certain that the power of dreams was one of the branches of the Path of the Mind.
"By fusing my primordial spirit with the power of dreams, and then stripping the energy from my primordial spirit, I can ensure that my spiritual realm does not decline."
"Time is of the essence, this method is highly feasible, and it's worth a try." Chen Yuan took a deep breath.
Just like when I first advanced to the state of "sitting in oblivion," this opportunity for breakthrough will not last forever.
If his spiritual realm fails to advance successfully for a long time, then the feelings in his heart will gradually fade until they disappear completely.
Therefore, Chen Yuan did not have much time to waste and had to try it as soon as possible after making the decision.
Without further delay, Chen Yuan immediately took out the Hundred Saints Refining Weapon Diagram: "Sorry, may I borrow this place for a moment?"
He immediately activated the weapon-refining technique to extract the "spirit" from the treasure and placed it into another treasure he had prepared beforehand.
Then, his hands lit up, and milky white light seeped into the weapon-refining diagram, directly refining the dream within into the energy of the Dream Dao.
After completing these steps, Chen Yuan opened the panel and instructed, "System, optimize the Sitting Meditation Technique and add a method for breaking through to the Manifestation of Sainthood."
"Based on the power of dreams, infused with the power of the mind, and finally stripped of energy, the power of the mind, integrated with the Great Dao, is elevated, and the will manifests its divine power."
"Finally, abandon universality and take my perspective as the standard."
[Optimization task creation in progress — Warning, error occurred during the breakthrough process, task creation failed!]
"It failed!" Chen Yuan exclaimed in surprise. "How could this be? According to my plan, there shouldn't have been any problems."
"Is it possible that the power of the Great Dao cannot contain the soul?"
For this promotion, he even fused the God-King level secret treasure weapon forging diagram. He paid so much, but the system told him that the process was wrong.
"What exactly happened?" Chen Yuan immediately asked the panel for the reason.
[The primordial spirit is not pure enough to merge with the power of dreams; its energy must be stripped away before it can be integrated with the Great Dao.]
Upon seeing the system's response, Chen Yuan felt both joy and worry.
The good news is that his idea is correct; the mind can indeed merge with the power of the Great Dao and obtain a new vessel. The bad news is that only a pure mind can do this.
In other words, he still has to strip the energy from his primordial spirit body before he can fuse with the power of dreams.
Compared to the other method, reversing the steps is extremely risky because Chen Yuan cannot determine how much time he will need to complete the fusion.
If it drags on for too long, his mental state will likely decline before he can fully integrate with the body, and the situation will only get worse.
"There's no other way."
In the end, Chen Yuan made up his mind, "I've already made so many preparations, I have to give it a try!"
"The optimization direction has been modified: first, the primordial spirit energy is stripped away, and then it is fused with the power of dreams. All other requirements remain unchanged."
[Optimization task under development; optimization direction: separate the primordial spirit energy and integrate it into the dream branch with pure spiritual power, enabling the mind to leap to the realm of manifestation.]
[This task requires 1 unit of Dream Road Source. Should it be optimized?]
"A single unit of the Source of the Great Dao, a true god-level mission?"
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was alright. Although the breakthrough method had been increased, the grade of the Sitting in Oblivion Technique remained unchanged.
In this way, he wouldn't have to wait too long, lest the opportunity for a breakthrough disappear due to excessive time.
"optimization!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yuan sent the mission into the simulation space.
[Task simulation in progress, estimated completion time: 2 hours]
Thus, two hours passed in the blink of an eye, before Chen Yuan's deadline had passed.
The instant the task progress was completed, he didn't even bother to check the details of the secret technique; he simply finished the optimization task instantly and then extracted the optimized content.
With Chen Yuan's current thinking speed, he had already received and fully understood this brand-new secret technique in just a few seconds.
"It's alright. Most of the content is similar to the Sitting Meditation Method; the only difference is the addition of detailed steps for breaking through."
.
After understanding the detailed steps of the breakthrough, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he followed the optimized method of the system to break through, he could minimize the risk of his spiritual realm falling.
"In that case—let's begin!"
Taking a deep breath, the primordial spirit, clad in a white robe, emerged from Chen Yuan's body and began to strip away its own energy according to the method recorded in the secret technique!
As time passed, strands of energy left the primordial spirit body, and the originally clear primordial spirit body gradually became illusory, and the body gradually became transparent.
About half an hour later, the energy was completely stripped away, and Chen Yuan's primordial spirit body—or rather, his mental power—had faded so much that its appearance was no longer visible.
"Now!"
Chen Yuan remained calm, but his hands moved with surprising speed.
The moment the last wisp of energy left his primordial spirit body, he directly drew upon the dream power obtained from the weapon-refining diagram, seamlessly integrating it into his faltering mind.
After receiving power from the branch of the dream, Chen Yuan's mind gradually stabilized and did not fall from his original state.
Having reached this point, the most dangerous step has been successfully completed. Now, all that remains is to wait for the mind and dream to fully merge.
After a while.
"It's done!" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up with joy. He could feel that his current mental power was no less powerful than his former primordial spirit body, and perhaps even stronger.
Most importantly, without the hindrance of energy, his spiritual realm can continue to break through to new heights!
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yuan pressed his advantage, seizing the opportunity in his heart and allowing his spirit to begin to rise.
The entire breakthrough process went very smoothly, perhaps because of the power of the Great Dao, without even the slightest ripple.
In just a few minutes, Chen Yuan's mind had reached a new level.
A divine manifestation!
