We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 112 Spiritual Transformation, First Glimpse of the Zhou Tian Star Array
As time passed, about half an hour had gone by since Shen Bailian first swallowed the second-tier Spirit Nourishing Fruit.

The expansion of the spiritual energy ocean has also slowed down, and there seems to be some subtle change.

"I feel like I've lost some weight."

Shen Bailian narrowed his eyes slightly. As his spiritual ocean continued to expand and grow, his perception became increasingly acute.

For some reason, as the strange power within the Spirit Nourishing Fruit was continuously absorbed by the Sea of ​​Spirit, Shen Bailian felt a subtle change in his weight that had begun over the past ten minutes.
From initially being almost imperceptible, he now feels that he has lost several tens of grams of weight, and this number continues to rise.

Shen Bailian guessed that it was because his mental attribute was gradually approaching level 10.0, and he had already stepped into the threshold of materializing mental power.

Therefore, the gradually materialized spiritual power and the physical body have reached a new state of balance.

However, we'll have to wait until the next boost to mental strength attribute before making any further observations.

Another seven or eight minutes passed~
Congratulations! Your mental strength attribute has been improved!

Congratulations! Your mental strength attribute has been improved!

[Mental Strength: 9.5]

Two more notification sounds rang out from the panel, and Shen Bailian's mental attribute value on the panel increased by 0.2 levels again, reaching level 9.5.

"Ok?"

As Shen Bailian felt the changes in his body, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Just as I guessed, the closer my mental power gets to materialization, the more I will awaken abilities similar to telekinesis."

"Teacher Duan probably didn't mention it earlier because he never expected my mental strength to break through to level 10.0 so quickly."

However, Shen Bailian himself had not expected that his absorption efficiency of this second-tier Spirit Nourishing Fruit would be so good.

With more than twenty minutes left before the effects of the Divine Essence Fruit ended, his mental strength had already broken through to level 9.5.

"Spirit."

"The energy of heaven and earth."

"Comprehension!"

"Sure enough, the stronger one's mental strength, the more one's perception of the outside world is enhanced, and one's comprehension is also improved, making it easier and more accurate to grasp the primordial energy of heaven and earth."

Shen Bailian's consciousness became increasingly clear, and he silently felt the many benefits and changes brought about as his spiritual power drew closer and closer to materialization.

The improvement in his mental strength also made his thinking much faster.

Most importantly, he has gained a precise and detailed understanding of the power of heaven and earth in a short period of time, and has also gained a deeper understanding of skills such as the Heavenly Qi, basic sword techniques, and running.

All kinds of talents in the world can be transformed and optimized through cultivation and evolution.

however.

Comprehension, however, is an elusive thing.

There is no doubt that strong mental power amplifies comprehension, which is why rare and precious materials that enhance mental power are so valuable yet unavailable.

However, mental strength does not play a decisive role in a person's level of comprehension.

Even if a little bit of comprehension is magnified tenfold, it is still only ten points. But for true geniuses, their base is ten points, or even much higher.

Shen Bailian's initial comprehension was not weak, and could even be described as very strong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to comprehend the realm of the breath of all things when he was only a martial arts apprentice with a mental strength of only level 4.4.

Shen Bailian believed that after this spiritual transformation was over, in addition to the divine skill [Shadow Follows], the active skill [Basic Breathing Technique], and the passive skill [Iron Body], he would also gain other benefits.

For the remaining active skills, the acquisition of experience points will definitely enter a period of rapid growth, with the speed of experience point acquisition increasing by about 1.2 to 1.5 times.

Wow~
The strange energy within the Spirit Nourishing Fruit, with about 40% remaining, was being frantically transformed, flowing like clear streams through the muscles and meridians of the limbs and bones, converging into the ocean of the spirit.

This continuously enhances Shen Bailian's mental strength, propelling him towards the threshold of level 10.0.

Congratulations! Your mental strength attribute has been improved!

[Mental Strength: 9.6]

As Shen Bailian was thinking, another notification sound popped up on the panel.

In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes or so had passed, and the Spirit Nourishing Fruit had been almost completely digested, with only about 15% remaining.

“My mental attribute has reached level 9.8.” Shen Bailian glanced at the panel.

He could clearly sense that as his mental strength gradually approached the threshold of level 10.0, the rate of improvement was constantly slowing down.

Moreover, the efficiency of the Spirit Nourishing Fruit is also decreasing, and its tolerance is gradually approaching its limit.

The higher you go, the more mental energy you need, and the greater the gap becomes between each 0.1 level.

"Sigh." Shen Bailian felt that he had less than 15% of his mental strength left and couldn't help but think, "It seems that I won't be able to break through to level 10.0 in my mental strength today."

but.

Shen Bailian didn't feel much disappointment, because he was already quite satisfied with the result.

As the saying goes, those who are content are always happy.

Without this second-tier Spirit Nourishing Fruit, it would have taken Shen Bailian at least two months of diligent practice and multiple skill upgrades to break through to his current level of spiritual power.

After all, at Shen Bailian's current level, spiritual power is the most difficult thing to improve.

After upgrading your skills, not only will the amount of experience points double, but the difficulty of gaining experience points will also increase.

For example, when the Iron Body skill was at level one, being hit a few times with a wooden stick might give you a little experience points, which is absolutely impossible nowadays.

If you can't even leave a mark, how can you gain experience points?
In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes or so had passed.

Congratulations! Your Spirit attribute has been improved!

【Spirit: 9.9】

A notification sound rang out on the panel.

After more than an hour of cultivation, Shen Bailian's mental strength finally broke through to level 9.9, just one step away from level 10.0.

However, even this 0.1-level difference is an insurmountable chasm for any martial artist.

"But for me?"

"It will only take two days!"

Shen Bailian slowly stood up, opened his eyes, his gaze deep, with a hint of firm confidence flashing within them.

His eyes may not seem as sharp and bright as before, but they actually reflect a restraint and composure that comes with experience. They may not look as good as before, but there is a fundamental difference between them.

"Let's try going outside," Shen Bailian thought to himself, and slowly walked into the living room.

After his mental strength broke through to level 9.9, the physical manifestation of this was that he felt his brain was unusually active and unusually clear.

An unprecedented sense of pleasure arose spontaneously.

My thoughts raced, especially after I noticed the sofa, coffee table, and gaps in the living room.

All sorts of information rushed into my mind, but most of it was useless junk information.

Shen Bailian chose to automatically block out the noise, and immediately felt a lot quieter in his mind.

He didn't stay in the living room for long before walking out and pushing open the villa's front door.

Cultivation knows no time; the passing of winter leaves one unaware of the years.

Although Shen Bailian's current level of cultivation has not yet reached such an outrageous state.

However, because he was so engrossed in practicing the basic breathing techniques and transforming his spiritual power, he was unaware that the sun had already set and darkness had once again enveloped the earth.

Bright lights also lit up the villas not far away.

Shen Bailian took a deep breath. The air inside the Tiangang Academy was exceptionally fresh, most likely because the spiritual energy here was much denser than inside Bozhou City.

Even the flowers, plants, and trees were more lush and abundant than those in Bozhou City.

Shen Bailian stepped into the quiet night. The only sounds around him were the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves. Most martial artists had already entered a state of cultivation.

The night sky is like a profound painting, with the bright moon hanging high and a dazzling Milky Way stretching across the night sky, like a ribbon quietly hanging in the sky.

"Whoo~"

Shen Bailian took a deep breath to calm his slightly nervous mood, closed his eyes slightly, held his breath and concentrated all his mental energy on his eyes.

His emergence today, taking advantage of the completion of his spiritual transformation, was certainly not without reason.

Instead.

To witness firsthand this magnificent work, the culmination of the painstaking efforts of tens of millions of martial artists and the collective wisdom of millions of researchers in Great Xia, one of the world's greatest wonders—

The Great Celestial Array!!!

"Hopefully, my mental strength will work this time."

Shen Bailian no longer hesitated. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharpened, and his spiritual power surged, enveloping his eyes. He then suddenly looked up.

All of a sudden.

boom!
Like a resounding bell, it struck Shen Bailian's mind violently, causing his pupils to constrict instantly and his mind to tremble violently.

It was a vast, boundless golden dome, clear, bright, and dazzling, its height unknown, but it was already beyond Shen Bailian's sight.

Above the cloudless sky, the vast Milky Way, with its countless billions of stars, shines with extraordinary brilliance. The golden rays that fall from it travel hundreds of millions of light-years and then through the gale-force winds of the Earth Star.

Then, drawn by the vast and boundless dome, it converged and condensed, transforming from illusion into a kind of stellar power that lies between illusion and reality.

Mysterious and profound patterns, drawn by condensed starlight, crisscross and connect with each other, forming a mysterious pattern that evokes the immense power of heaven and earth.

Then, one, two, hundreds or thousands of golden beams of light, like giant pillars supporting the sky, shot straight into the earth.

At the very center of the Heavenly Gang Academy stands a colossal pillar, gleaming with dazzling gold, descending from the golden dome.

Shen Bailian looked up at the magnificent scene and was momentarily dazzled, feeling as if he could hardly breathe. He felt his whole body stiffen, as if he had been frozen in place.

"This, this is the real Zhou Tian Star Array?"

Shen Bailian felt his mind trembling violently, because this was so shocking that it made people wonder if it was even possible for a human to do it.

But he had no choice but to believe it.

Because the gathered stellar power was completely under the orderly control of the Great Xia Dynasty, as can be seen from the towering pillars formed by the condensed stellar power.

As for the locations where those colossal pillars fell, they should be war bases like the Heavenly Gang Academy, or important first-tier cities.

Sudden.

Why is it so bright over there?

Shen Bailian noticed that the eastern sky seemed to have extremely bright light and shadow, and with a slight sense of curiosity, he said, "Let me take a look."

Think of this.

Without any hesitation, Shen Bailian subconsciously concentrated his remaining mental energy and shifted his gaze slightly, wanting to see clearly at once.

In the instant he turned around, his vision was filled with boundless red light. A red sun was hanging in the eastern sky, with flames burning brightly.

Shen Bailian's mind was like a moth drawn to a flame, attracted by that blazing fire, wanting to fly straight into it.

In the tranquil evening breeze, four young men and women were taking a walk. Three of the girls were talking about something, while the other, a burly blond man, acted like a bodyguard, only occasionally speaking a word.

Wang Yuxuan and Chen Jiyue are both the kind of calm and quiet girls, but they can't resist Feng Yanqiu by their side, who keeps talking and occasionally lets out a silvery laugh.

This amused the others as well.

The four chatted and strolled along, and before they knew it, they had arrived near the 4137 detached villa.

"Hey." Out of the corner of her eye, Feng Yanqiu saw the figure gazing at the starry sky in front of the 4137 detached villa. She was somewhat puzzled and said:
"Isn't that Shen Bailian? What's he looking up at so intently?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuxuan and the others looked in the direction where the boy was.

Li Feiyu glanced briefly at Shen Bailian's upward gaze. As a bloodline martial artist from a prominent family with a long and distinguished lineage, he naturally knew what Shen Bailian was doing. He calmly said:
"I guess they're looking at the Zhou Tian Star Array."

"I heard from others that he came from a small town in the North, so it's normal that he hasn't seen the true form of the Zhou Tian Star Array."

This was somewhat different from what Shen Bailian had imagined. Not all cities in the Great Xia Dynasty could see the Zhou Tian Star Array; only some important cities or various war bases could see it.

The requirement for mental strength is not that high; reaching level 5.0 is sufficient.

Sudden.

Upon hearing the words "small town," Chen Jiyue's expression changed slightly. She immediately sensed something was wrong, her eyes narrowed, and she looked in the direction where Shen Bailian was.

really.

at this time.

"His mind was drawn to the great sun!"

Wang Yuxuan reacted even faster. Her expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, she sprinted towards the boy's location, shouting as she ran:
"You three hurry up and follow me! My mental strength alone isn't enough to disperse his mental energy!"
