Chapter 52

Of course, he had also studied Daoist scriptures in the Shrouding Heaven Realm, and those scriptures contained methods to cultivate the spirit, but the spirit-cultivation methods of the Eternal Life Realm might be more suitable for his self in the Eternal Life Realm.

"Fang Yu, since you've broke through the realm, our Fang family must reward you. This time, Fang Qingxue brought many elixirs from Yuhua Sect—you will receive another one hundred and twenty Jingyuan Elixirs. If you can also break through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm, our Fang family's status will be unimaginable."

Fang Zetao's expression was filled with great joy; he waved his hand, and the steward immediately brought forth a gourd of elixirs.

Again, they were Human Grade Mid-Tier Jingyuan Elixirs—exactly one hundred and twenty of them. So many elixirs would be enough for his cultivation for a while.

"Thank you, Head of the Family, Young Lady. I will surely work hard to cultivate and break through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm as soon as possible."

After receiving the elixirs and the Yuanchen Spirit Art, Fang Yu immediately took his leave from Fang Zetao and Fang Qingxue and returned to his chamber to cultivate.

He sat cross-legged, pressed his palm against the center of his crown—the Tianmen acupoint—and adjusted his spirit, directing it all into the Tianmen acupoint.

To seek immortality, one must cultivate the Tianmen; to attain the Realm of Spirit Communication, one must cultivate the Tianmen.

Following the method of the Yuanchen Spirit Art to condense the spirit, Fang Yu first imagined the Tianmen acupoint as a dark world.

This imagination represented his understanding of the brain as a realm of darkness.

Then, he imagined his blood, bone marrow, internal organs, and fascia transforming into a pure white color—like the feathers of an immortal crane—becoming Xu Yuan Qi that slowly rose upward into the interior of his Tianmen acupoint.

This symbolized using the body's essence and vital energy to dispel the darkness of the brain and achieve self-awareness.

Imagination and meditation are extremely important, extremely profound.

In this process of imagination, Fang Yu felt his body being gradually drained—his blood, qi, and essence turning into light to illuminate his brain.

His body immediately felt hollow.

At the same time, he immediately perceived that to train the spirit and cultivate the mind's potential, one must have a powerful physique to support it.

Fortunately, he had consumed the divine herb from the Ancient Forbidden Land; his physique was several times stronger than that of ordinary Divine Valor Realm experts, his essence abundant enough to sustain his meditation.

Gradually, Fang Yu felt the dark world within his Tianmen acupoint being illuminated and partially dispelled by this white light of essence; deep within the darkness, he faintly saw an ancient, heavy stone gate—neither perfectly round nor perfectly square.

The patterns on the gate, one by one, resembled the grooves of the brain.

The entire shape of the brain was, in fact, the Shentongzhi Sect.

This was the Shentongzhi Sect—if one could shatter it, one could enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

Yet no matter how Fang Yu strained his spirit to imagine his blood and qi as white light illuminating his mind, he could not achieve it; the black mist within his Tianmen and brain only grew thicker—he could not possibly shatter the Shentongzhi Sect now.

Huhuh!

Fang Yu came back to himself, overwhelmed by unimaginable exhaustion, feeling as if his body had been completely emptied.

"I must strengthen my internal blood and qi, make my strength even greater, before I can possibly charge toward the realm."

Fang Yu swallowed a few more Jingyuan Elixirs, and only then did he feel slightly better.

Cultivating the spirit is indeed extremely taxing.

"The Yuanchen Spirit Art is truly a wonderful thing."
