Chapter 107: Awakening of Spiritual Sense\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Yi, what kind of meditative posture is this? So strange—sacred yet tinged with a hint of malevolence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hospital bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue watched as Li Yi attempted meditation in an odd posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Lin, don’t you remember I told you before? Our Investigation Bureau successfully recovered a strange artifact from the Ruined District—a bone mural. I learned this cultivation posture directly from it. Once I can move freely in a few days, I’ll take you to see it. I hope you’ll gain something from it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi opened his eyes. He had been trying to accelerate his physical recovery through cultivation, but he didn’t hide his curiosity about Lin Yue’s observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, most people in the Investigation Bureau already knew about the bone mural—it wasn’t classified. The news had spread far and wide. Anyone who saw the bone mural would immediately recognize the meaning behind these movements. Whether one could awaken their true self within the bone illusion and master the Bone Contemplation cultivation technique depended entirely on personal fortune—this could not be taught; it had to be Lingwu ed through the artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s how it is—a cultivation technique Lingwu ed from an artifact?\" Lin Yue lowered her head in thought, then tried to mimic Li Yi: seated on a lotus platform, fingers forming a sacred seal, as serene and beautiful as a bodhisattva in a temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Yue only replicated the form—she gained no real cultivation effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the posture itself was not the core of this cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue gave up after one attempt. \"Now I understand why everyone who obtained an artifact has become so bizarre—their cultivation advancement is absurdly fast. It’s not just that the artifact provides an almost limitless supply of pure cosmic energy. More importantly, each artifact contains unique supernatural abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The bone mural’s supernatural trait is allowing one to Lingwu  a cultivation technique from within its illusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Lin Yue paused. She recalled another recent piece of news and added: \"I heard from the Cultivators Association that your Investigation Bureau tested your cultivation value—and the result was 420%. I was stunned. When I tested you before, you were only at 45%. Even after continued cultivation, you’d barely reach 60–70%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet now, after just a short time, you’ve changed so drastically. If I’m not mistaken, this is all due to the bone mural. Only artifacts can trigger such transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded. \"Correct, Sister Lin. If you can Lingwu  the Bone Contemplation technique within the bone illusion, your cultivation value can increase dramatically—even to astonishing levels. My own value was low, yet it jumped straight to 420%. Yours would likely exceed 500%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you say that, I’m even more eager to see that bone mural,\" Lin Yue murmured, her eyes flickering with curiosity—she truly wanted to witness the artifact’s supernatural power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it had transformed Li Yi—a mere ordinary cultivator—into something entirely new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder every faction of cultivators dared challenge the Investigation Bureau over this artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue continued: \"By the way, Li Yi, what exactly is inside the bone illusion? I heard even your team leader Zhang Lei got trapped inside, and even Li Shaoqing from the Cultivators Association couldn’t break free from its influence. In the end, you were the one who succeeded in recovering the artifact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asked this, Li Yi felt embarrassed. He coughed twice. \"What each person sees in the illusion may differ—I can’t say for sure. Just wait until you see the Bone Contemplation mural yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t tell her he’d seen a seductive woman in the illusion who looked exactly like her—so alluring he nearly lost control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that to the real thing? He’d be socially dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then,\" Lin Yue smiled confidently. \"I’m curious what insane thing I’ll encounter in the illusion. Maybe I’ll break through the illusion quickly and Lingwu  a cultivation technique myself—then skyrocket my cultivation value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad your cultivation foundation is so weak, Li Yi. If you had the standard of Yang Yi Long or Li Shaoqing, you might have reached the Golden Academy’s special recruitment threshold—rising straight to greater heights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden Academy’s special recruitment threshold? What’s that?\" Li Yi asked, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue raised a pale finger, waving it gently. \"When your cultivation value reaches 1000%, someone from the Golden Academy will come to recruit you personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? 1000%? Are you joking? Is that even possible for a normal person?\" Li Yi widened his eyes in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue gave him a look. \"Precisely because the standard is absurdly high that it’s called ‘special recruitment.’ Why else would anyone come to you voluntarily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes sense,\" Li Yi muttered in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the Bone Contemplation technique, he’d only reached 420%—nearly his limit. He couldn’t imagine how anyone could reach 1000%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough talk. Focus on your cultivation, Li Yi. I’m tired—I’m going to nap in the next room. Call me if you need anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue yawned, stretched, and looked exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lin Yue rested, Li Yi continued entering cultivation through the Bone Contemplation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast amounts of cosmic energy flooded into his body, stimulating evolution while accelerating healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, the energy field of the broken coin stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lingering consciousness revived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wicked, born-evil creature. You claim you don’t want the cross-realm method and won’t kill for it—but you slaughter Earth Prisoners without blinking. Only days after I warned you, you’ve already killed twelve. Hmm, good. Efficiency is high. Just eight more Earth Prisoners and you’ll meet the requirement. Indeed, your demonic nature runs deep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice echoed in Li Yi’s mind, tinged with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\". . .\" Li Yi’s face twitched at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t kill for the cross-realm method. They tried to murder me—I was forced to defend myself. If I hadn’t killed them, they’d have killed me. Even my two colleagues died at their hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Wang Jian and Chen Hao’s deaths, Li Yi grew agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he finished, the lingering consciousness in the coin interrupted: \"Good. This denial, this deceitful pretense—so perfectly demonic. I’m growing fonder of you Earth Prisoners. No matter your starting point, you all inevitably fall into the demonic path. The only difference is whether you become a great demon or a small one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your malevolence is strong. You’ll become a great demon of the utmost evil. But that’s perfect. Only a demon like you can kill more born-evil Earth Prisoners—for the benefit of all realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. I’m cultivating now.\" Li Yi could no longer bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment he was \"born evil,\" the next \"deeply demonic\"—why was there never a single good word?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killing too many yesterday? You should rest properly. Demonic transformation must be gradual—no rushing. I won’t disturb you. But remember: later, bring me the remaining eight evil Earth Prisoners. If I’d known you liked killing so much, I shouldn’t have set the limit at twenty. Two hundred? No—five hundred at least. What a loss. What a loss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coin’s resentment muttered on, then fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Bone Contemplation technique, that speech would’ve ruined his cultivation today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That lingering consciousness was the true demon, the true evil. He must not be swayed—he was a young man who loved life and sought progress, not one who enjoyed killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calming his emotions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi resumed cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, while his body healed rapidly, a peculiar sensation gradually emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within, his body extended countless fine threads, weaving together into a dense web of perception. Wherever it touched—the hospital bed, the floor, the walls—their physical outlines appeared clearly in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The perception spread—everything within the room became known to Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this... awakening Spiritual Sense?\" Li Yi realized inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, during yesterday’s life-or-death battle, he’d already felt a strange intuition—many times, even without turning, he sensed danger approaching before an attack came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed his body had already crossed the threshold, evolving into the Spiritual Sense stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to his severe injuries, the evolution had been forcibly halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with cultivation resumed, the evolutionary path had restarted—and Spiritual Sense had awakened once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Spiritual Sense began to solidify,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp pain surged through his body, causing his Spiritual Sense to collapse instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evolution stalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was too weak, his foundation too unstable to sustain further use of Spiritual Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I fully recover, my body will be strong enough—and Spiritual Sense will naturally become stable. I’ll become a Spiritual Sense cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, healing was paramount. Cultivation must wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Li Yi felt deeply pleased—he was already a Spiritual Sense cultivator. In Tianchang City, that gave him status. He was no longer the rookie anyone could threaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now that he’d entered Spiritual Sense, his standing in the Investigation Bureau would rise—he’d be taken seriously, no longer an expendable figure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1499,"2026-06-20T01:26:56.586Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","623aee08453dcdd745f666c6f8fcdd764490f2fbbad628aa15a6f9dedd0349cc","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-108","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-106",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
