Chapter 192

Not only was Li Yuan's mental power constantly breaking through and transforming, but Senior Liu Jing, not far away, had also taken the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit.

Both of their mental powers were skyrocketing.

... Li Yuan's consciousness had always been very clear, feeling the transformation of his mental power; it had been less than half an hour.

"【Your mental power has increased from Level 28.9 to Level 29.0】"

"【Your mental power has reached Level 29, and the spiritual awakening limit has increased to 35%】" Two consecutive prompts flashed by.

Li Yuan's Divine Palace panel also underwent corresponding changes.

"Hmm?"

"Sure enough, as I guessed before, every time I break the shackles of the Divine Palace, if I want to increase the spiritual awakening limit again, I must first increase my mental power," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Li Yuan could understand this.

The Divine Palace panel originates from the Heart Divine Palace, and the Heart Divine Palace is placed within the heart world.

Therefore, the stronger the mental power and the stronger the heart world, the more abilities of the Heart Divine Palace can be explored; this is a matter of course.

"However."

"I thought before that Level 26 mental power would increase the spiritual awakening limit," Li Yuan sighed inwardly. "I didn't expect that it would only reach 35% when mental power crossed into Level 29."

"What a pity."

"Every time I reach the spiritual awakening limit, killing aliens will not yield spiritual nourishment," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "A lot of spiritual nourishment is wasted."

Otherwise, just the large number of Flying Snakes Li Yuan killed in the Flying Snake Valley would have been enough to pile up the spiritual awakening degree to 35% directly.

But Li Yuan was not in a hurry.

Even if it increased to 35%, there was no way to introduce Source Force into the body for the time being, and the second spiritual guidance was even further away.

"Spirit."

"Heaven and Earth!"

"Sure enough, the stronger the mental power, the clearer the perception of the mysteries of heaven and earth," Li Yuan silently felt the many benefits and changes brought about by the strength of his mental power.

His consciousness was very clear.

His thoughts moved faster.

Most importantly, it was easier to perceive the subtle parts of the body and clearer to perceive the outside world... capturing the slightest fluctuations and mysteries between heaven and earth was also much easier than in the past.

"No wonder many Source Martial Artists take decades of early cultivation to barely reach Fourth-Stage technique," Li Yuan thought of many ideas. "Later, they accidentally obtained some spiritual treasures, which caused their mental power to transform, and they eventually achieved the status of Top Source Martial Artist."

Life's encounters are very wonderful.

Comprehension is even more unfathomable.

And there is no doubt that mental power is like an amplifier, which will magnify a person's comprehension talent by geometric multiples.

Whoosh, whoosh~

The strands of power transformed by the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit were still crazily transforming within Li Yuan's body.

Constantly increasing Li Yuan's mental power.

"【Your mental power has increased from Level 29.0 to Level 29.1】" Another Divine Palace prompt flashed by.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two hours had passed.

"Mental power is at Level 29.7." Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.

It was already very close to the Second-Rank limit.

"From breaking through to Level 29, the speed of mental power growth is not slow at all, but the speed of mental power level increase is getting slower and slower," Li Yuan noticed this. "Moreover, as time passes, the efficacy of the spirit fruit is rapidly declining."

The further one goes in cultivation, the greater the gap between each level.

Secondly, like the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit, the effect of the first one is excellent, and the effect of the second one is much smaller.

"Mental power increasing from Level 29.1 to Level 29.2... I'm afraid the gap is even greater than from 28.7 to 29," Li Yuan thought to himself.

After a slight estimation of the remaining medicinal power of the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit.

Li Yuan understood that it was indeed impossible for his mental power to break through Level 30 today.

But Li Yuan was already infinitely satisfied.

"I didn't know before that the span of Level 29 mental power would be so large," Li Yuan thought to himself. "If there were no Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit, normal cultivation of visualization methods would take at least a year to increase mental power from Level 28.4 to Level 29.9."

One Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit saves a year?

Worth it!

In fact, it takes Li Yuan a year to cultivate visualization methods; for many ordinary Source Martial Artists, it is difficult to have such a transformation in a lifetime.

In the blink of an eye, nearly another hour passed.

"Whoosh!"

Senior Liu Jing, who had taken the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit a step earlier, slowly opened his eyes; his aged face seemed to have become much younger, and his eyes became bright, revealing a smile. "The Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit is truly worthy of its name; the effect is much more powerful than in the database."

"Just one."

"It caused my mental power to skyrocket six or seven times; I estimate it's quite good even among Top Source Martial Artists," Senior Liu Jing sighed inwardly.

He closed his eyes gently.

His mind stirred to perceive his whole body; before, because his mental power was weak and he had just broken through to the 'micro' state, his perception of countless subtle forces was still a bit blurry.

But now, he could easily perceive every bit of force in his whole body.

This is the benefit of strong mental power.

"Reach Level 27 in 10 years?"

"Now, give me ten years, and I definitely have hope of reaching Level 28," Senior Liu Jing made up his mind, looking back at the past two days.

He had originally only planned to come to protect Li Yuan.

And the result? First, he fought a great battle with several Second-Rank Flying Snakes, then he walked from the edge of life and death, his technique broke through, and finally, he was able to get the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit.

It could be called a turn for the better.

"Li Yuan is truly my lucky star." Senior Liu Jing subconsciously looked at Li Yuan.

He already had a very good impression of Li Yuan.

"Although Li Yuan's technique is strong, he is still only a First-Rank life form, and his mental power is probably not as good as mine," Senior Liu Jing thought to himself. "With this Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit, his mental power will probably transform to the level of a Source Martial Artist... his cultivation speed will also increase significantly, right?"

"Truly a peerless monster." Senior Liu Jing silently adjusted his breathing.

When Senior Liu Jing finished his cultivation.

"【Your mental power has increased from Level 29.8 to Level 29.9】" A Divine Palace prompt flashed by.

After three hours of cultivation, when Li Yuan's mental power finally broke through to Level 29.9 with difficulty, at this moment, Li Yuan could clearly perceive that the medicinal effect of the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit in his body had almost been exhausted.

"It seems that if I want my mental power to reach the Flying level, it will still take some time," Li Yuan thought to himself.

But at this very moment.

"Boom~" In Li Yuan's heart world, within the Heart Divine Palace, a series of roars suddenly erupted, causing Li Yuan's brain to ache instantly.

Unbearably painful.

"Hmm? Heart Divine Palace?" Li Yuan noticed the abnormality in his heart world.

With a thought, Li Yuan's consciousness body had already descended to the first layer of the Heart Divine Palace.

The entire first layer was now like broad daylight.

Li Yuan's consciousness body quickly noticed the source of the abnormality: the Great Sun Jade Platform.

In the past, it had always been silent.

!.

Only when Li Yuan wanted to cultivate visualization methods would he use it.

But when Li Yuan's mental power reached the Second-Rank limit, it seemed to have some response, erupting with endless brilliant light.

This light shone, and there seemed to be an invisible force, causing the entire Heart Divine Palace to sway and vibrate.

"What's going on?" Li Yuan was shocked; this was an abnormality he had never experienced before.

Without hesitation.

With a thought, Li Yuan's powerful and surging mental power tried to suppress the Great Sun Jade Platform to stabilize the Heart Divine Palace.

However, when Li Yuan's thought just touched the Great Sun Jade Platform.

Boom, boom, boom~

Li Yuan felt his soul vibrate, and immediately after, the surrounding scene changed, and the Heart Divine Palace had already vanished.

He was in the endless vast starry sky, and not far away was that terrifying, eternal, and indestructible prideful sun, its light shining.

The prideful sun's light was many times brighter than it usually was.

This was the place where Li Yuan usually cultivated the "Great Sun Starry Sky Visualization Scripture".

"It's because of this great sun." Li Yuan immediately understood that it was the sudden eruption of the prideful sun.

Its light passed through the Great Sun Jade Platform, which caused the entire Heart Divine Palace to become unstable.

Which in turn affected his own heart world.

It turned out that there really was a great sun hidden within the Great Sun Jade Platform, rather than pure imagination; this discovery made Li Yuan even more surprised.

How many more secrets does the Heart Divine Palace hide!

Chi~ Chi~!

Under the shining of the great sun, strands of scorching sunlight shot directly at Li Yuan's consciousness body, and bursts of severe pain instantly swept through Li Yuan's consciousness.

If it were Li Yuan a year ago.

Under this scorching sunlight, I estimate that in less than a second, Li Yuan would have been in pain and fainted.

But now?

Level 30 willpower and Level 29.9 mental power allowed Li Yuan to easily withstand this terrible pain without changing his expression.

"Suppress." Li Yuan had an epiphany, faintly feeling the message transmitted to him by the Great Sun Jade Platform.

Suppress!

The fluctuation of the great sun can only be suppressed by oneself; if it cannot be suppressed, then its light will continue to erupt, causing fatal damage to the Heart Divine Palace and even Li Yuan's heart world.

At this moment, Li Yuan faintly understood that the Heart Divine Palace was not entirely good.

It is a double-edged sword.

It hides many invisible assessments.

"Just like when I ascended to the second layer, if my willpower and mental power were not enough at the time, I wouldn't have been able to ascend, and my strength improvement would certainly not have been so fast," Li Yuan had an epiphany. "Today, my mental power reached Level 29.9, which also reached some kind of change bottom line of the Heart Divine Palace."

"However, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

"If I want to fully adapt to the changes in the Heart Divine Palace, I must be strong enough to continue to control all of this," Li Yuan understood this point. "If I cannot adapt to this change, the Heart Divine Palace will instead cause me harm."

This discovery gave Li Yuan a sense of crisis.

But he didn't have time to think deeply at the moment.

"Boom!" The great sun in the starry sky in the distance was already increasingly scorching and dazzling.

"Suppress."

Li Yuan completely unleashed his consciousness body, like a miniature great sun, trying to suppress the great sun in the void.

Hum~ Li Yuan's mental power was naturally tiny compared to this great sun, very inconspicuous.

But as the controller of the heart world, his mental power had a characteristic.

Quickly, it made the scorching great sun quiet down a lot, and the Heart Divine Palace no longer vibrated.

However!

Chi~ Chi~ Those strands of light only weakened, but did not completely converge, shooting directly at Li Yuan's consciousness body, and bursts of terrible pain swept through his consciousness.

It hurts! It hurts a lot!

If it were an ordinary Source Martial Artist, their consciousness would collapse in a short time, but Li Yuan was still persisting.

Persisting desperately.

"Must hold on, hold on." Li Yuan muttered to himself, containing a terrible obsession; no matter how endless pain erupted, he was still struggling to resist.

His weak but tough mental power swept through this dark starry sky, causing the erupting prideful sun's light to gradually calm down.

And as the prideful sun's light weakened.

"Hum~" "Hum~" In the dark starry sky behind Li Yuan's consciousness body.

Phantoms of stars seemed to appear.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ These stars emitted weak starlight; they were not visible under the sunlight before, but now that the prideful sun's light had converged, their starlight was also revealed.

They fell one after another onto Li Yuan's consciousness body, nourishing his mental consciousness.

At this moment, it was like the visualization scene that had been performed countless times in the past.

Only it was a hundred times, a thousand times more rapid than in the past.

At this moment, Li Yuan's consciousness body was placed here, and his mental growth also skyrocketed a hundred times, a thousand times again.

Silently.

"Boom~" As if breaking a kind of life limit, Li Yuan felt his mental consciousness explode.

"【Your mental power has increased from Level 29.9 to Level 30.0】"
