Chapter 57: Spiritual Realm Takes Shape
Su Wan is four years older than Su Daoshan, and Su Yu is one year older than Su Daoshan. When Su Daoshan was a child, Su Wan carried him on her back or led him by the hand all day. Su Wan was very considerate and always took good care of her younger brother when she played with him. She almost never let Su Daoshan get hurt.

But sometimes, Su Wan would put rouge on Su Daoshan, braid his hair, and then giggle with her hands covering her mouth, and drag him to play house with Su Yu. Sometimes she would tease him with some sour fruits, and when she saw his facial features wrinkled together, she would laugh happily. Then she would pinch his cheeks and pull them.

Despite her gentle personality, she is actually quite lively.

Because they had just returned to Yishan City less than two years ago, the Su family and the other major families were still in a polite and harmonious honeymoon period, and family members often visited each other, so sometimes children from other families such as the Zhu family, the Yue family, and the Lin family would play together.

In summer, bamboo mats are laid in the yard, and people often sleep in a row.

Su Wan is the well-deserved big sister. Even now, even though many things and many people have changed, when they see Su Wan, the younger ones like Yue Zhen, Zhu Xuekang, Lin Xuan and other children from aristocratic families have to call her "Sister Wan" honestly.

The chirping of insects in the trees and the fan in the maid's hand are the most profound memories of that time.

The two siblings have always been able to talk about anything since they were young. However, as they get older, Su Wan becomes busier and Su Daoshan becomes more and more dull. Most of the time, he just plays the role of a listener, just like now.

"Tomorrow, let's not go to the county exam, okay?" Su Wan said, and tried to persuade again, "Didn't Zhao Xing'er say before that the plum blossoms in the old garden in East City are blooming? I think we can go and see them."

"No!" Su Daoshan shook his head, stopped the spoon, pushed the bowl towards Su Wan, and said stubbornly, "I want to go!"

"Go, go!" Su Wan said quickly, "I just said it casually, just drink your porridge."

Hmm? Su Daoshan stared at her doubtfully, and when he saw her waving her hands repeatedly, as if she would never mention this matter again, he nodded with satisfaction and continued to drink his porridge.

Su Wan lowered her head and looked at Su Xixi in her arms. Su Wan was filled with worry, while Xixi sighed like a little adult and shook her head.

A smug smile appeared on Su Daoshan's lips.

Now he is getting more and more adept at playing this nerd.

But then again, it was also thanks to the original body's peculiar personality. It was really convenient to use. At least in the Su family, no matter what he wanted to do, as long as he put on a bullish look, he would basically be successful.

Even if what you do is absurd in the eyes of others, or your ideas are ridiculous, it is normal - if you want to argue with a stubborn nerd, you have to first know what is wrong with this guy, right? !

"Which sect do you want to apply to?" Su Wan asked.

"Hangu!" Su Daoshan said as a matter of course, with the look of an ignorant and fearless person.

Su Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The county exam corresponded to the nine major sects in Beijun, and had nothing to do with Hangu. And to enter Hangu, one had to take the state exam. This kid wanted to take the county exam to enter Hangu, which was just like wanting to be the top scholar after taking the Tongsheng exam.

Thinking about it, Su Wan's mind moved, and she asked curiously: "Did Master Xie tell you something..."

Su Daoshan was rescued by Xie Xunbai. Although the possibility is extremely small, it is possible that if Master Xie feels that he has a good relationship with him, it is unknown whether there is any agreement between the two.

Everyone has seen that since moving into Sujiabao, Master Xie has come to Su Daoshan every day to drink tea and chat. A strong man from the top sect in Xiazhou and a little nerd get along very well.

"What?" Su Daoshan looked confused.

Su Wan sighed, thinking that she was just daydreaming: "Then why do you want to enter Hangu?"

"That's what I want to do." Su Daoshan said stubbornly, then thought about it and explained reluctantly as if to save face, "They are very powerful!"

Su Wan felt that her questions were unnecessary.

At the same time, she was helpless and had a glimmer of understanding. It seemed that Shandi was saved by Xie Xunbai before, and was impressed by his strength and grace. In addition, people outside joked that he was a fool with good fortune, so his self-esteem made him think of this.

"Idiot!" Su Wan couldn't do anything with him and could only mutter in annoyance.

Su Daoshan turned a deaf ear.

In the Su family, only two people dared to scold Su Daoshan like this.

One is Su Wan, the other is Su Yu. Su Wan has a gentle personality and soft voice, and she always pronounces these two words in a continuous manner, with a hint of smile and doting. Su Yu has a straightforward and hot personality, with a crisp voice, and her tone is always full of gnashing teeth and coquettish anger.

The terrace fell silent for a moment.

Su Wan knew that she couldn't change Su Daoshan's mind, so she simply let the matter go and talked about whatever she wanted to say.

"When you were captured by the Mi family, everyone in the family was scared. You don't know that your second sister, who is such a fierce person, cried so hard at that time. And Daochun, that kid, picked up a knife and wanted to fight the Mi family to death..."

"Why do you need to say that spring is coming? If I take action, I can kill them alone."

"..."

"I heard from Pingting that you went to Ximen today. Did you see those people from the Mi family who were exiled? The old lady said that if the Mi family fights us according to the rules, we will accept it whether they win or lose. But they shouldn't kidnap you. We can't let them go this time..."

"Alas, as the sage said, forgive others when you can. The way of a gentleman is to be loyal and forgiving. It is enough to punish the main culprit, why kill innocent people indiscriminately. We should always have a heart of compassion for the world..."

"..."

"When Mr. Xie saved you, he not only killed Mi Lang who had captured you, but also killed the other four children of the Mi family. Why didn't you accuse him of killing innocent people at the time?"

"Uh…that's different!"

"..."

"But speaking of it, the Mi family has really produced many talented people over the years. Mi Ye was suddenly captured by Mr. Xie at that time, and the Mi family was leaderless. If it were another family, I'm afraid they would have been panicked. As a result, the fourth elder of the Mi family, Mi Huan, was decisive. Before anyone here arrived, he summoned some of the masters who stayed behind in Mijia Village and tried to break out from the south gate. However, they were a step too slow and were stopped by the city guards and the Fiery Army. When the major sects and families arrived, they were killed cleanly at that time..."

"Alas, why are you so anxious to fight each other..."

"Shut up!" So Su Daoshan could only drink the porridge obediently and listen to Su Wan.

"According to the news from the city guards, the Mi family has been found to be colluding with alien species. I heard that they have sent experts from the family to join them. Several robberies in the past year are also related to them. The Zhou family is their in-laws, so who knows what will be involved in the future..."

"Everyone is laughing at Zhou Gaoyuan now, but he must be regretting it now. If he had waited for half an hour longer, the Zhou family wouldn't have fallen into such a big trap. Didn't Zhou Qinghe always pursue Yue Zhen before? He said that he would come to propose marriage after the county exam. It seems that this time it's in jeopardy..."

"The most ruthless group in convicting the Mi family this time is the Leiyun Sect. I'm afraid they want to clear themselves in front of Han Gu..."

"I'll tell you in secret, our family has made a fortune. We have 800 acres of high-quality paddy fields. We also have a lot of businesses in the market city. His family annexed our cloth shop before, but now they have taken back the shop, the goods, and the people. There are also five big jade coins, and we got two of them..."

The three siblings squeezed on the recliner, one talked, one listened, and the other held a small orange lamp to shine on the sister and brother. I just felt peaceful and happy, nothing could be better than this.

It was not until the night deepened that Pingting had turned on the bedroom light and started to make the bed and fetch water. Only then did Su Wan get up, pack her lunch box and leave, taking Xixi with her.

Su Daoshan returned to the bedroom, washed his face and soaked his feet with Pingting's help, and lay down on the bed. After Pingting had tidied up, he blew out the lights and watched the light in the room dim. Only the watery moonlight sprinkled a cool and clear light on the window.

All the limbs of the body were warm. The abundant spiritual power brought by a bowl of spiritual millet was dispersing with the circulation of internal energy. While rapidly strengthening the internal energy and filling the blood, it also nourished the internal organs, fascia, bones and flesh, and repaired some hidden injuries caused by cultivation.

Although he had known the effect of spiritual millet in his original memory, Su Daoshan was still shocked when he experienced it personally for the first time.

This bowl of spiritual millet only weighed about one ounce, but once the spiritual power contained in it was completely digested, the improvement would be higher than that of practicing for ten days or half a month.

No wonder people say that mastering the spiritual millet resources is equivalent to mastering power. No wonder Mi Ye is desperate to fight for the position of the family. Other privileges are fine, but things like spiritual millet are directly related to the rise and fall and fate of a family.

Just as he was experiencing it and feeling drowsy, Su Daoshan suddenly felt his soul move.

The next second, his consciousness was like being sucked into a whirlpool, suddenly falling from the real world and into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Su Daoshan was surprised to find that the world woven with endless colors in his sea of ​​consciousness was just completing the last stroke.

The spiritual world has taken shape!

Immediately, a huge amount of information suddenly flooded into my mind.

Although this was not the first time he had experienced this kind of revelation-like enlightenment, Su Daoshan still had a strange feeling.

It was unknown how long it took before Su Daoshan came to his senses and looked at the world in front of him curiously.

At the moment when the last stroke of the spiritual world was completed, the Tao seed in the sea of ​​consciousness was connected with the vast spiritual world.

As a result, Su Daoshan felt that his soul was also connected to the spiritual world. Through this connection, his consciousness could enter and exit the spiritual world.

“So, this is the spiritual realm.”

It is difficult for Su Daoshan to explain in words the information about the spiritual realm that emerged in his mind. If he must describe it, perhaps he can use the description of the spiritual realm that Xie Xunbai gave him during his conversation with him over the past two days.

"The Spirit Realm... is Lanzhuo's dream, the ocean of consciousness of the world, the place of underlying rules, and also chaos and order."

Xie Xunbai was standing on the city wall at the time, watching the carriage full of Mi family members drive out of the city gate while explaining to him some common sense that extraordinary warriors need to know: "Before the apocalypse, no one knew of the existence of the spiritual realm until we merged with the Tao seeds. But in just a hundred years, our exploration of the spiritual realm is just the tip of the iceberg..."

At that time, Su Daoshan was in a strange state and was a little distracted.

He always felt that someone was staring at him. But standing on the wall of the west gate, he looked around and saw no one around.

Moreover, what Xie Xunbai said was too vague. What dream and sea of ​​consciousness were difficult for him to understand.

It was not until this moment of divine enlightenment that he realized how accurate Xie Xunbai's summary of the spiritual realm was.

If the Lanzhuo Continent is likened to a person, then the Spirit Realm is the spiritual world of this person, the manifestation of his consciousness. At the same time, it is also like the underlying system source code of a computer, which is the underlying rules of this world.

However, ordinary people cannot feel the spiritual world.

Only the extraordinary warrior who has integrated the Tao Seed and opened his sea of ​​consciousness like a hatching egg can perceive this world through the connection of the soul.

From a certain perspective, the birth of extraordinary warriors and the emergence of strange arts that violate the rules of reality are the result of the apocalyptic catastrophe breaking through time and space, leading to the overflow of spiritual power.

However, according to Xie Xunbai, the spiritual realm is not so easy to enter.

"For any extraordinary warrior, the spiritual realm is extremely important. If you want to improve your realm and comprehend more extraordinary skills, you must enter the spiritual realm to explore and obtain the [Spiritual Essence] for the growth of the Tao Seed.

"But every time you enter the spiritual realm, you need to consume a lot of vitality. In essence, this is using your life as a price. Of course, if you gain enough spiritual essence, you can make up for this loss..."

Su Daoshan digested the information while looking at the world in front of him.

From his perspective, this spiritual world after it was formed looked like a vast and dense primitive jungle. The densely packed trees blocked out the sun. Looking up, he felt like a little bird that had just hatched in the jungle.

The sky of the spiritual world has no sun, moon, stars, day or night, just a pure blue and white color. It looks as if it is covered by a layer of eternal curtain.

The most eye-catching thing in the sky is a huge suspended mountain.

The mountain peaks occupy more than half of the view of the sky. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, shaded by trees, rugged rocks, and pavilions and towers that are looming.

Su Daoshan looked at the mountain floating in the sky in front of him with great shock. The mountain came from the old era and continued to be passed down, and was called Tiandao Mountain!
The more you look, the stronger the temptation of the spiritual realm becomes.

Unconsciously, Su Daoshan's consciousness had followed the Tao Seed Tree and entered the spiritual realm.
