Chapitre 14: Sea of Consciousness - Origin
Sheng Tian entered the outer region of Embrace of Death and selected a secluded cave.
He set some traps and sat down cross-legged on a stone platform. Two dark blue fruits appeared in his hands.
These are the same fruits that Qin Lie and Ling Chen worked so hard to get- Death Spirit Profound Fruits.
Having absorbed the Death Essence from the hell caves, they take a long time to mature. They contain pure and potent medical essence.
After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, it has little effect. But for people below, it is very useful.
The biggest problem is not obtaining them from their guardian beasts, but finding them.
He was able to find the location of the profound fruits only thanks to Xiao Lian's divine sense which covered an incredibly large area.
Without hesitation, he ate the Profound Fruit in two bites.
As it entered his body, it immediately released pure profound energy and medical essence.
But before they could even start moving, a terrifying suction force came from his dantian pulling them in.
Sheng Tian didn't lose cool. He knew what was happening.
Soon, the Primal Seed released the refined essence of the Death Spirit Profound Fruit.
Sheng Tian felt warm streams of energy entering his profound veins. Instantly, they traveled along his profound veins and started clearing the blockages between the dantian and profound veins.
His cultivation started rising rapidly.
Sheng Tian was already near the peak of the seventh stage of the Foundation Realm. With the Death Spirit Fruit, he directly broke through to the Eighth stage followed by the Ninth Stage.
In the end, he entered the Profound Realm.
The Profound veins and the Dantian are completely connected now. The circuit is now complete.
Sheng Tian was shocked yet again by his requirements of Energy to breakthrough.
But this time, he accepted the fact that he needed much more energy to breakthrough than others.
After reaching the first stage of Profound Realm, he can project Profound Energy outside of his body.
Sheng Tian directed the profound energy from his body to the tip of his fingers.
Instantly, his fingers shone with white light. It had a dreamy, ethereal feel. And Sheng Tian got a sudden feeling as if it was the Origin of everything.
"I told you this before, but again. Your profound energy is very very unique, I bet that it is the only one in existence. I can't even know its specialty.
It has no elemental nature like ice and fire nor does it have an attribute like berserk or soft, it.....seems to have nothing yet everything." Xiao Lian said in his mind.
Sheng Tian chuckled "I know."
Then he ate another Death Spirit Fruit. This time as well, the same thing happened to the medical essence.
But he only broke through to the Second stage of Profound Realm. Sheng Tian rolled his eyes speechlessly at his own uniqueness.
The Fruit was supposed to make even a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator have at least two breakthroughs. But why did he breakthrough only once?
Wasn't this too much?
"Haha, don't make that face. You have it harder than others to breakthrough, but at the same time, your strength is incomparable to others in the same realm. Cheer up." Xiao Lian softly said in his mind.
Sheng Tian relaxed his frown and said "I know. That's why I made those two idiots get this. Hopefully, I can reach the Nascent Soul Realm with the Pristine Milk. Else, I would have to search for some more kind people for help."
He took out two jade bottles filled with white liquid. It is Pristine Liquid.
It grows on Pristine Flower as it accumulates the essence of Heaven and Earth, slowly turning it into potent liquid.
Pristine Milk is one of the treasured natural treasures for the Cultivators who didn't cross the Earth Realm. Even someone in Earth Realm can improve slightly by consuming the Pristine Milk.
The reason why the two Young Men accepted Sheng Tian's proposal was simple-the items he asked were of little or no use to them- Earth Realm Cultivators.
It made them assume that it was all for a test.
But they would have never thought that Sheng Tian was only at Foundation Realm and using them to get the Natural Treasures for his breakthrough.
After all, he can use Xiao Lian's powers to search, but to fight, unless needed he would not do that. He knew that each time she used her energy, she would become weak.
He didn't want to see her pale face again.
Hence, Sheng Tian used Ling Chen and Qin Lie instead of depending on Xiao Lian.
He drank the liquid in the bottles at once.
*Sss*
A cool sensation spread from his throat to his body the moment the liquid entered his body.
But soon, the Primal Seed sucked all the liquid inside his dantian and started releasing the purest of the Pristine Milk Energy.
Sheng Tian felt a gentle yet boundless amount of energy coming to his dantian flowing through his profound veins.
Soon, the profound energy in the air was also sucked as his cultivation started rising at a ridiculous speed.
First Stage of Profound Realm, Second Stage, Third,..., Ninth Stage, Peak of the Profound Realm.
Sheng Tian almost broke through to the next level but sensed an obstruction coming from his Consciousness. It held him from breaking through. Even though he could break free forcefully, he didn't do that and stopped for a moment.
Sheng Tian thought for a moment before he realized the issue-Spirit Sense.
When a Cultivator reaches the Threshold of Nascent Soul Realm, he or she would open his spirit sense by connecting to the Sea of Consciousness.
Using a Spirit sense gives you vision over an extended area beyond your body limits.
For example, a cultivator can "see" or "perceive" what is happening behind him without turning back using his spirit sense.
As one's cultivation improves, so do the range and quality of the Spirit Sense.
And it is very useful in battles.
An OverLord Realm Cultivator can scan a City many times bigger than Death City in one sweep.
Sheng Tian was a bit excited at the prospects of having a spirit sense.
But he calmed his mind and shifted his focus to the point between his eyebrows-The place for the Sea of Consciousness.
A Human's body has three core regions for cultivation-The Soul in the Sea of Consciousness, Dantian, and Heart. They represent Soul, Energy and Essence-the fundamental of all.
The Soul or the Sea of Consciousness is not present in the Skull, but in a pocket dimension connected to one's brain. The entry to the dimension is still in the skull. So, technically, the sea of consciousness is in between the eyebrows, at least visibly.
Same goes for Dantian. It is a separate yet dependent pocket dimension existing in the lower stomach.
But after feeling the Sea of Consciousness and Dantian, a cultivator cannot differentiate them from his physical body.
So, they assume and feel that they area in the same dimension.
If scanned using highly precise equipment from Modern Earth, they wouldn't find either Dantian or Sea of Consciousness, because they don't exist in the same dimension.
Sheng Tian focused all his attention to see the illusory yet real Sea of Consciousness.
A sea of Consciousness is not exactly a sea but looks like the colored gaseous surrounding a bright star.
It looked like the primal chaos. Similar to the early stages of the universe. Resembling a sea of colorful gases floating in the void floating around a central point.
In direct words, It just looked like a Nebula.
The clouds of colored gases is the sea of consciousness. The bright thing at the center is the Soul-the most mystical, yet quintessence of life.
Everyone's Sea of Consciousness is different. It is dependent on the Soul.
A person can be born with a Soul having a Fire affinity. Their Sea of Consciousness tends to be red or orange. And its nature is similar to Fire.
Sheng Tian found himself struggling to enter the strange space.
With much focus, he slowly entered the space and saw his sea of consciousness.
What he saw made his soul tremble in shock.
Unlike how a Sea of Consciousness is supposed to be; moderately sized with a few colors, his sea of consciousness was boundlessly vast dazzling with the brilliance of all the colors in the spectrum!
Seeing such a beautiful scene, he recalled the moment he came across Origin. It was too similar.
At the center of his Sea of Consciousness, an incomparably dazzling white light shone.
His Soul!
It gave him the same feeling he felt from Origin that day.
He felt as if time and space froze, life and death were transcended as if he arrived at the origin of everything.
But this was his Own Soul! How could it be similar to Origin?
Sheng Tian had a guess in his mind that he didn't want to believe.
He didn't know it yet, but his Sea of Consciousness didn't look like a Nebula but the beginning of the everything in Existence, the genesis of the Multi-Verse!
Since he couldn't do anything about it now, he stopped his train of thoughts.
*Bang*
Then, he focused on connecting with his Sea of Consciousness.
The next moment, Sheng Tian "saw" the cave he was sitting in.
He could "see" the tiny gaps on the soil, the scratches on the walls, the insects on the plants.
He knew, he accessed his Spirit Sense!
Sheng Tian immediately felt the restriction on his cultivation disappear as he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
