Chapitre 213: Cultivation 14

The secret realm closed a few days ago and all the remaining survivors were transported out.

The small number of survivors made everyone despair, and the various sects' elders began questioning everyone about what happened inside. To add insult to injury, the few survivors did not gain more than a few common herbs and ores, making this trip the greatest loss in the history of all present sects.

I just told them the same story the others told them about hiding underground from the immortal shadows. All elders swore to investigate the disaster further, the loss of so many disciples was hard to swallow but the death of the geniuses who they had spent so many resources on was unacceptable.

The trip back to the sect was quiet and the aura of dread could be seen above us. The remaining survivors would be hunted by this disaster for the rest of their lives, some swore never to enter a secret realm again, no matter how much wealth it had, and some, like Lin Fan, became for determined to get stronger so that they didn't have to endure the shame of running for their lives again.

The aura of doom every survivor was carrying with him was quickly overshadowed by the lively aura of the sect, making everyone go back to their previous lives like nothing ever happened.

After settling back in, I went back to cultivation to break through to the Spiritual Sea realm. With the massive pile of resources, I now have, this should be a piece of cake. I orderly laid out the giant pile around me and started floating in the middle, even if cultivators seemed to be immune to hemorrhoids, I still didn't want to sit on the hard ground for years at a time.

While the True Sun Fire was busy melting all treasures into pure essence for me to absorb, I ate the strange tomato and started opening my spiritual sea, I had some big plans for it.

The scorching stream of energy from the lava tomato brute forced the sea open, creating a puddle of lava in my mind. Before I could start to absorb the pure essence around me, two other essences appeared from inside my body, the golden liquid and the sword.

The molten skeleton just mixed with the magma, giving it a golden glow and drastically increasing its viscosity and heat. The sword on the other hand decided to make itself at home inside my spiritual sea like it owned this place. It had a weak consciousness that was a bit too arrogant but it wouldn't last long, once I started feeding my sea with NE, it and everything connected to it would be corrupted by it.

While the sword was just lying in my sea, enjoying living there for free while being nurtured by it, I started ingesting the blood of the ancient prisoner. All the energies and traits of the spiritual seas of the countless ancient beasts he had in his blood started to enter my inner sea.

The sea increased by thousands of times, turning into a large lake, and the countless different natures and remnant wills started clashing against each other, causing my sea to shake violently. This wouldn't do, controlling the spiritual sea when there were so many remnant wills would be a pain in the ass.

If I wanted this recipe to work, it was time to add NE to the list of ingredients but I needed to do it slowly. The first wisp appeared above the sea, insignificant in size compared to the entire spiritual sea but its effect was immediate.

The moment it fell into the red-golden liquid, all the will suddenly stopped fighting each other and started attacking the intruder. These wills wanted to take over my mind and the new wisp of another, insurmountable will was a massive threat to their goal.

It didn't take long before the wisp of NE started to slowly corrupt and absorb the remnant wills of dragons, phoenixes, nine-tailed foxes, ancient giants, and more, slowly turning the red-golden sea purple.

The takeover was slow and the resistance strong, the previously mentioned remnant wills were not from the mortal or even immortal realm, they all originated from beings nearing the end of the god realm. With the combined might of thousands of gods, the radius of corruption a single wisp could do was small.

The previously violent red-golden sea was now peaceful except for the whirlpool forming around a purple spot with a radius of 10m. The wills were ancient and powerful and they refused to go down with a fight but their struggle was meant to be futile.

The wills of thousands of gods were just barely able to content a hair strand worth of my NE. Since my inner sea had already started to change, it was time to open the floodgates and let the rest in.

While the ancient wills were trying their best to regain their dominance while also being careful not to be absorbed by the strange energy, the sky suddenly started turning dark and it started raining purple drops. The remnant wills didn't even have time to scream or blow themselves up before the drops hit them and swallowed them.

I watched as my sea was expanding rapidly, the reason why I didn't just start by introducing my entire NE was because my NE and spiritual sea were like two different entities, if I just smashed my infinitely strong energy into my newly born spiritual sea, it would just shatter and be replaced and I didn't want that.

Once my spiritual sea had a bit of my NE, it became a lot more welcoming to my NE. The more my spiritual sea grew, the more energy I could flood it with without collapsing it. The reason why I was so careful with my NE was not because it had all the energies in existence inside but because I wanted to use it to create new forms of energy.

Just because I already reached the absolute peak it didn't mean I would ever stop growing and perfecting myself. Cultivators refined their Qi, Immortal Qi, and Divine Qi but my NE already had all these energies, I wanted to know what would happen if I refined my NE just like they did to their Qi, what would it turn into?

I watched my spiritual sea expand infinitely with no sense of time, I had been cut off from the outside of my mind for too long and it would remain that way for much longer. Creating the Spiritual Sea was all there was to the 8th realm, it would give the cultivator the Divine Sense, and both their radius would expand with their cultivation but I was just starting.

My spiritual sea was now infinite, far surpassing even those Transcendents, and so was my Divine Sense yet my plan for my Spiritual Sea was just beginning.

Chapitre 214: Cultivation 15

Next up was an idea I had a while ago but never tried to implement: fusing the consciousness and subconsciousness together.

For most beings simply being aware of the task of the subconsciousness can be annoying and switching the conscious and subconscious mind is one of the greatest tortures to exist.

Imagine consciously breathing, beating your heart, or moving your bowel in a certain rhythm. Luckily I don't need to do any of that, so my subconscious mind is basically retired. Also, have fun breathing manually for the next minute, MUAHAHAHA, I'm so evil.

The only thing my subconscious was doing was filtering all information from my senses and occasionally doing tasks for me that I didn't want to do on my own. It was basically just an autopilot, useful for doing pushups.

The Spiritual Sea practically gave me a free pass to play with my own mind as I pleased. It took me a while to find that slimy bastard, it was really good at hiding from the main mind, and a bit longer to fuse them together.

This new sensation was super weird. The feeling of thinking with what would have been my subconscious was crazy. Luckily I had all my senses cut off when I entered meditation or I would now have a stream of information from my many senses which brought me to my next project.

I wouldn't say I had every possible sense but I definitely had more than any singular being out there, I literally had a sense to hear tantric energy, telling me how horny someone was. The only reason I was able to deal with so many senses was because my mind had infinite processing power but it didn't change the fact that it was inconvenient.

I wanted to reduce the number of senses by integrating them into my Divine Sense. The Divine Sense was already very useful and versatile alone and would continue to grow as my cultivation progressed which made me wonder what would happen if I advanced a Divine Sense that had millions of other senses in it.

The integration took a long, long time, I could feel my Spiritual Sea change slightly with every sense I integrated into it but I had yet to experience their effect as I was still meditating. Also, just because I integrated all my senses into one, it didn't mean that I lost them, I still had their original version, they just turned dormant.

At this point, I was completely blind but all I would have to do to see was to open my eyes again.

After integrating all my senses, the Spiritual Sea has changed from a dark purple to a calm mirror-like sea. It was absolutely impossible to determine its original color as it just mirrored the light blue sky and everything else above it. It also hid just how deep my Spiritual Sea was.

This was already looking very decent. I was finally done with the Spiritual Sea realm and ready to enter the create the Purple Palace. I had a feeling my Palace would be completely different from others but I wouldn't find it out now, I had already been a shut-in for long enough, it was time to go out a bit before building my Purple Palace.

I needed to do a few missions and update my disciple status unless I wanted to be thrown out. The number of missions I had done in the sect could be counted on two hands yet I was still receiving resources.

Waking up was weird, I was not only blind and deaf, I was also completely disoriented by my Divine Sense and structure of my mind. It took a while to get used to it, time I used to scout out the entire sect and its surroundings to find something interesting I could use to keep me occupied for a while.

There were some nice secrets under the sect that even the sect master didn't seem to know about but I was more interested in the nearing Beast Tide and the hiding members of at least four demonic sects. They wouldn't have some great opportunities but I was in the mood for blood and they were volunteering.

I wonder how many years' worth of missions I would get for destroying a demonic sect, that would be two- no, three flies with one stone, I couldn't forget about all the resources a single sect had, they might even have a child of destiny and some opportunities for him or her.
