Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

122. Chapter 122 Consciousness Manifests Overseas, And Spiritual Practice Remains!

Chapter 122: Manifesting the Sea of Knowledge, Shedding the Remnants of Spiritual Cultivation!

[Your good brother, Tian Siyang, has refined a 'First Rank Spirit Crystal,' stabilizing his divine soul and causing his origin to soar! This triggered the talent attribute 'Heaven Stealing,' evenly distributing the shared half of his divine soul cultivation, increasing his mental power by 10 and his divine soul strength by 15.]

[Your good brother, Tian Siyang, encountered a fortuitous opportunity in his cultivation, breaking through to the Lingtong Realm! This triggered the talent attribute 'Heaven Stealing'... increasing his mental power by 20, divine soul strength by 30, and expanding his sea of knowledge by 2000.]

Liu Zimo couldn't help but nod in satisfaction as he heard the notification about Tian Siyang's breakthrough.

Indeed, he is a natural spiritual body. Just by refining a 'First Rank Spirit Crystal,' he successfully broke through to the Lingtong Realm!

Moreover, after breaking through, not only did Tian Siyang's mental power and divine soul strength greatly increase, but his sea of knowledge also expanded by four thousand kilometers!

As a result, his current sea of knowledge has reached an astonishing size of about fifteen thousand kilometers, which is already comparable to the sea of knowledge of a normal Lingyuan Realm cultivator!

"This kid's martial talent seems average, but the fact that he possesses a purple Locking Shadow that is not inferior to Xiaofeihong and Xiaoxiao means that all his talent potential is concentrated on his spiritual body!"

Although he is severely biased, it also perfectly illustrates how amazing his talent in spiritual cultivation is!

If such a top-notch spiritual genius were placed in Longhu Mountain, which primarily cultivates divine souls, they would undoubtedly protect and even worship him like a treasure.

In fact, if it weren't for Tian Siyang's young age and the presence of his parents, making it inconvenient to take him away directly, Liu Zimo would have already had the idea of accepting him as a direct disciple.

In the General Staff Office, Wu Songyang and Hong Yuxun were still discussing the daily protection of Qi Guochang and the selection of a location for the laboratory.

Meanwhile, Liu Zimo quietly transmitted his voice and called back Xiaofeihong and Luoxiaoxiao, who were teaching Tian Siyang the Lingyuan Technique in the camp's playground.

"Wu General, Elder Hong, I'm leaving this child to you!"

Liu Zimo pushed Tian Siyang in front of Wu Songyang and the others and quietly instructed, "He is a natural spiritual cultivator. If you cultivate him well, his future achievements will be limitless!"

"Perhaps in three to five years, or maybe eight to ten years, this child will become another guardian of the capital!"

"I have already imprinted the relevant spiritual cultivation techniques and secret arts in his sea of knowledge. As long as his cultivation reaches the required level, he can naturally unlock and practice them."

After giving detailed instructions, Liu Zimo left Tian Siyang in the General Staff Office and let the two big shots arrange and settle him.

He then took his two disciples and went directly to the Military Supplies Warehouse of the Military Affairs Department.

"Advisor Liu, please come in!"

The guards responsible for managing the warehouse warmly welcomed Liu Zimo and introduced the layout of the warehouse and the various martial resources stored inside in detail.

"General Wu has already sent someone to inform us. Advisor Liu, you have a credit exchange limit of one hundred thousand military merits this time. You have priority to exchange for anything in this warehouse!"

"Understood, thank you!"

Liu Zimo nodded politely to the warehouse guard and then walked around the warehouse with his two disciples, freely selecting and exchanging various martial resources.

The warehouse guard faithfully followed behind them, holding a record book and constantly checking and deleting the items exchanged by Liu Zimo and his two disciples.

A consumption limit of one hundred thousand military merits was definitely a big deal.

At least, since the establishment of the Military Supplies Warehouse, no one had ever exchanged so many military merit resources at once.

Of course, it's not that no one wanted to do so, but there were basically no people in the entire army who could accumulate so many military merits.

"Master, look, isn't that Lingzhi familiar?!"

Shortly after entering the military supplies warehouse, Liu Zimo heard Xiaofeihong's slightly surprised and unexpected voice.

Following her direction, Liu Zimo looked up and, upon seeing the items on the shelf, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Indeed!

Isn't this the mutated Lingzhi that Xiaofeihong accidentally discovered and collected outside Luozhou City a few months ago?

Unexpectedly, the Military Affairs Department's military supplies warehouse also had a collection of them, and not just one, but three!

Glancing at the text label below the shelf:

Item Name: Mutated Lingzhi

Effect: Consuming it can enhance cultivation, heal injuries, and even revive the dead.

Collection Location: Western Mountain Forest of the Capital

Date of Storage: 3033/11/5

Exchange Price: Ten thousand military merits per plant

Liu Zimo only glanced at it and directly took all three "Mutated Lingzhi" from the shelf and put them into the small cart behind him.

The warehouse guards following behind immediately took out their notebooks and recorded the relevant information, changing the inventory of the Mutated Lingzhi from three to zero.

At the same time, Liu Zimo's military merits were directly deducted by thirty thousand points.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo smiled leisurely, without any remorse.

This "Mutated Lingzhi" is the main material for refining the "Boundary Breaking Pill".

Each complete "Mutated Lingzhi" can almost refine eighteen top-grade "Boundary Breaking Pills", directly creating eighteen Golden Body Realm martial artists.

And the exchange price for the "Boundary Breaking Pill" in Luozhou City is three thousand military merits per pill, which means eighteen pills would be fifty-four thousand military merits, a fivefold increase!

Of course, for Liu Zimo, military merits and such things don't matter.

What's important is that he can use these "Boundary Breaking Pills" to help his "good brothers" and "good sisters" improve their cultivation level and earn more opportunities and benefits from it.

"Wow! Master, come and see, this little thing is actually priced at fifty thousand military merits, so expensive!"

Lou Xiaoxiao also stood in front of a round ball that resembled a pearl, emitting a faint white light, exclaiming in surprise.

"This pearl is so beautiful!"

"Master, sister, look, there's a drop of golden water inside the pearl, it seems to have mountains and water!"

Liu Zimo and Xiao Feihong, upon hearing this, both stepped forward.

They also wanted to see what kind of magical thing could be priced at fifty thousand military merits.

Soon, they arrived beside Lou Xiaoxiao and saw the small "Night Pearl" that made the little girl exclaim in amazement.

At the same time, they also saw the relevant registration information written below the small pearl:

Item Name: Eastern Pearl

Effect: Unknown material, can repel water, dust, and gather spiritual energy in the surroundings, assisting martial artists in their cultivation.

Collection Location: Discovered at the bottom of Dongting Lake

Storage Date: 3031/6/3

Exchange Price: Fifty thousand military merits

"It's actually the legendary Eastern Pearl?!"

"And it was already stored in the military warehouse two years ago?!"

Seeing the item information written below, Liu Zimo's heart shook, unexpectedly.

The legend he mentioned was not a myth from ancient Da Xia.

Instead, it was some small rumors that had been circulating within the Human Federation for the past thirty years.

Among these rumors, there were countless stories about this magical item called the Eastern Pearl.

In Liu Zimo's memory, the "Eastern Pearl" seemed to be the round pendant that Yu Xun, the Martial Saint, always wore around his neck.

Its specific origin was unknown, but it was known that after obtaining this pearl, Yu Xun, whether in cultivation or killing enemies, was always invincible.

Some said that this pearl was the Dragon Ball from the myth of Da Xia, with the power to repel water and dust.

Some said that this pearl was a Qi-gathering formation, with the effect of assisting cultivation.

There were also those who said that this pearl was actually a small mustard space entrance. Some people had even witnessed Yu Xun, the Martial Saint, taking out many things from this pearl!

And so on and so forth.

There were all kinds of claims, but they were all just hearsay, and no one could confirm their authenticity.

After all, besides Yu Xun, the Martial Saint, no one else had ever touched that pearl with their own hands.

Liu Zimo didn't expect that the first appearance of this "Eastern Pearl" would be in the military warehouse of the capital city!

Moreover, the price of fifty thousand military merits was not ordinary. Even Hong Lao might not be able to come up with it at the moment.

"Repelling water, dust, gathering spiritual energy, it's exactly the same as described in the rumors!"

"In that case, the claim of it being a mustard space entrance might not be completely baseless!"

Liu Zimo's heart was moved in an instant.

The legendary storage treasure, who wouldn't want it?

Although the information sheet of the item does not indicate that the "Eastern Pearl" has the ability to store space, this can only mean that the people in the military arsenal did not conduct relevant verification when collecting the "Eastern Pearl".

After all, under normal circumstances, no one would think about this.

In fact, even in the thirty years of the end of the world, the concept of mustard space was still only in the theoretical stage, and no force could actually manifest it.

And now, it is only the beginning of the demonic calamity, and even the first year has not yet passed. The concept of mustard space has not been proposed, so naturally no one would think about it.

Thinking like this, Liu Zimo reached out and took out the "Eastern Pearl" in front of him, which was only the size of a marble, and carefully examined it in the palm of his hand.

As soon as he held it, Liu Zimo felt a strange sensation surging from his mind.

Familiar, yet elusive.

This strange feeling, which was both familiar and extremely unfamiliar, made him even more curious.

Brush!

His divine sense reached out, wanting to explore the material and internal structure of the Eastern Pearl, to see if there really was a mustard space inside the pearl.

The result.

As soon as Liu Zimo's divine sense came into contact with the surface of the "Eastern Pearl", it would be deflected and slipped away by the special force field emitted by the pearl, and it was impossible to penetrate its internal space.

"This thing actually has the ability to shield and block divine sense exploration!"

"It really is a good treasure!"

Liu Zimo's eyes lit up. Just this ability to shield divine sense was enough to prove that this "Eastern Pearl" was extraordinary!

In order to obtain more relevant information, Liu Zimo's mind moved slightly, and he once again opened a trace of Divine Ability, allowing the light emitted by the Eastern Pearl and its faint spiritual power to slowly reflect into his sea of consciousness.

"Oh... my god!"

Sure enough, as soon as the aura entered his sea of consciousness, it immediately caught the attention of the Zero Demon.

At the moment he saw the form of the "Eastern Pearl", Liu Zimo sensed the intense and even boiling excitement and fluctuating thoughts of this little bug!

The body of the Zero Demon kept rolling and colliding in the confinement space, as if it wanted to break free and directly pounce on the "Eastern Pearl" in Liu Zimo's hand!

Since Liu Zimo put this little bug into his sea of consciousness, this was the first time he sensed it being so excited, restless, and riotous, filled with infinite longing and desire.

"Manifest the sea of consciousness, shed the remnants of spiritual cultivation!"

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong!"

"This aura, this form, and its instinctive reaction to autonomously absorbing spiritual energy!"

"This is definitely a spiritual remnant formed by the self-separation of a spiritual cultivator in the Spiritual Domain after death!"

"I really didn't expect that in this lower world, I would have the opportunity to see such a high-quality spiritual remnant!"

"If this bug can obtain and refine this spiritual remnant, it will definitely be able to immediately evolve to the adult stage and directly impact the King Worm realm!"

"Ah ah ah! Why?!"

"Why is this bug trapped in this damn place? Why did it have to encounter a freak like Liu Zimo?!"

"My opportunity, my chance to become a king and soar to the sky, can only be watched but not obtained!"

"Is the heavens deliberately torturing this bug?"

"..."

Hearing the roar of the Zero Demon, Liu Zimo's expression also changed involuntarily.

He never expected that this "Eastern Pearl" would have such a background!

"A spiritual remnant formed by a spiritual cultivator's death in the Spiritual Domain?"

Liu Zimo played with the small pearl in his hand and whispered to himself.

No wonder he had a sense of familiarity when he first held this "Eastern Pearl".

It turns out that this pearl is a manifested and solidified spiritual sea of consciousness!

As a cultivator in the Spirit Abyss realm, it was not surprising that he sensed something when he first came into contact with this spiritual remnant.

"Manifest the sea of consciousness, form its own realm. This should be a unique method of the Spiritual Domain, right?"

"No wonder it can block my divine perception. The Spirit Realm is a whole realm higher than me. Breaking through this outer spiritual barrier is beyond my current ability," Liu Zimo sighed softly.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary little bead would turn out to be a spiritual remnant left behind by a senior in the Spirit Realm.

However, Liu Zimo couldn't be sure of the exact origin of this senior or how long this "Eastern Pearl" had existed.

But Liu Zimo was certain that this spiritual remnant was definitely not from this era.

Before the revival of spiritual energy, both martial artists and spiritual cultivators on Earth were greatly limited in their cultivation speed.

Martial artists could only reach the Golden Body realm at most, while spiritual cultivators could only reach the Spirit Communication realm.

Even in the current outbreak of spiritual energy, no one could possibly break through to the Spirit Realm in such a short period of time, except for Liu Zimo who awakened the "Heaven Stealing" ability, and even he could only push his spiritual cultivation to the Spirit Abyss realm. Others didn't even stand a chance.

Moreover, the storage information on the shelf showed that the "Eastern Pearl" was stored on June 3, 3031.

In other words, the discovery of this spiritual remnant was in the first year of the revival of spiritual energy.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was the revival of spiritual energy that triggered the gathering instinct of the spiritual remnant, resulting in the phenomenon of water and dust avoidance, which in turn attracted the attention of the authorities.

In Liu Zimo's opinion, the so-called water and dust avoidance was nothing more than a spontaneously formed spiritual force field created by the spiritual remnant.

Any cultivator in the Spirit Yuan realm could do the same thing.

The difference was that the "Eastern Pearl" was an inanimate object, and the spiritual force field it produced was just a reactive instinct.

Liu Zimo didn't know how long a spiritual remnant in the Spirit Realm could last from its formation to its extinction.

But he was already certain that the owner of this spiritual remnant in his hand must have lived in a distant era when spiritual energy was abundant.

Otherwise, no one could have elevated their spiritual cultivation to the terrifying Spirit Realm in an era devoid of spiritual energy.

There have always been various ancient myths and legends circulating in the Great Xia Kingdom, as well as various gods, immortals, and monsters who could fly, move mountains, and perform divine abilities.

Now it seemed that those so-called myths, gods, and monsters might not all be baseless fabrications!

"I'll take this 'Eastern Pearl'," Liu Zimo said softly to the warehouse keeper who was following behind him, and the warehouse keeper and guards nodded repeatedly.

This thing had been sitting in the warehouse for almost three years, and no one had been interested in it because it was too expensive. Now that someone was willing to take it, they naturally welcomed it, considering it as clearing out the inventory.

Swish! The warehouse keeper and guards crossed out the information about the "Eastern Pearl" with their pens, and Liu Zimo's exchangeable military merits decreased by fifty thousand as a result.

At this point, out of the one hundred thousand military merits, eighty thousand had been used, leaving only twenty thousand available.

Liu Zimo nodded slightly, caressing the smooth and warm "Eastern Pearl" in his hand, extremely satisfied.

These fifty thousand military merits were truly well spent!

Just this one spiritual remnant alone, its true value far surpassed fifty thousand or even five hundred thousand military merits!

This outwardly manifested sea of consciousness space had completely solidified, and it could even be called a small world similar to a mustard seed space.

No wonder there were rumors in later generations that the "Eastern Pearl" in the hands of the Martial Saint Yu Xun contained a mustard seed, capable of storing and preserving things.

In Liu Zimo's opinion, the simple function of storing and preserving things was just the simplest and roughest use of this spiritual remnant.

If he could completely refine and incorporate it into his sea of consciousness, this spiritual remnant could be used as Liu Zimo's spiritual treasure and second sea of consciousness.

It could be used to fight against enemies and provide a continuous source of spiritual essence for Liu Zimo.

By then, anyone who fought against him would be facing two high-level spiritual cultivators at the same time. Who could withstand that?

Thinking like this, Liu Zimo's mind stirred slightly, and he opened up his sea of consciousness space, slowly guiding the "Eastern Pearl" in his hand into it.

Ordinary physical objects couldn't be stored in the empty space of the sea of consciousness.

But special materials that existed between reality and illusion, such as spirit crystals and spiritual treasures, were not restricted.

And this "Eastern Pearl" in front of him, being a manifestation of the sea of consciousness space, was naturally easier to subdue.

Liu Zimo exerted almost no effort, and the "Eastern Pearl" in his hand obediently entered his spiritual sea of consciousness like a swallow returning to its nest!
