Chapter 12: 10

This mysterious place, boundless and endless, had no terminus.

"Mind consciousness."

"Every time my consciousness comes to my mind world, I am still somewhat shocked," Li Yuan murmured to himself.

The mysterious place was what he had awakened when his physical quality reached Level 5.0.

After many attempts.

Li Yuan finally confirmed that this should be the source of his own mind consciousness, that is, the mind world.

The so-called mind world, as described in the vast number of Martial Path books bestowed upon Li Yuan, was referred to by powerful martial artists with various names such as the Upper Dantian Palace, the Brain Sea, the Sea of Consciousness, and many others.

In simple terms—brain!

It is the core of life and soul consciousness.

If Li Yuan wanted to leave, a thought was all it would take.

"Divine Palace," Li Yuan's consciousness focused on the strange Divine Palace within the mind world.

This Divine Palace seemingly had four layers from the outside.

This was the biggest aid to Li Yuan's rapid increase in strength over the past year.

Humm~ In the mind world where distance is irrelevant, with a thought from Li Yuan, he had already entered the strange Divine Palace.

The inside of the Divine Palace was vast and boundless.

"Divine Palace panel." With a thought from Li Yuan, the data panel immediately appeared within his field of consciousness.

The Divine Palace panel appeared when Li Yuan's consciousness first perceived the mind world and then entered the Divine Palace.

It was the first benefit he received from this Divine Palace.

But Li Yuan's consciousness did not enter the Mind Spirit Divine Palace just to wander around aimlessly.

His consciousness had already taken notice of the only piece of furnishing in the vast palace—the Jade Platform.

All red in hue, crystal clear, and upon close observation, engraved with many mysterious patterns that seemed to follow certain special rules, it subtly contained a kind of indescribable magical power.

"Great Sun Jade Platform," Li Yuan said to himself, the name he had given to the Jade Platform.

The next moment, Li Yuan's consciousness converged directly upon the Jade Platform, as if he were seated on the peculiar Jade Platform.

"Boom~" Li Yuan's originally active consciousness immediately began to quiet down, and soon the environment around his consciousness changed.

Beneath him was no longer the Jade Platform, and around him was no longer the first layer of the Divine Palace.

It had transformed into an infinite starry sky, within which was a resplendent Great Sun, illuminating the endless expanse of stars.

"Visualize within the heart mansion!"

"Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," the contents of this Visualization Method involuntarily surfaced in Li Yuan's heart.

"Recorded in the Mysterious Chronicles, 'Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,' is profound and its imagery boundless... The Great Sun hangs high, its flames fierce like a raging fire forging steel, enough to hone one's will, making it as firm as a rock, fearless in the face of tribulations, an observation of the Great Sun implying shining virtue, dazzling, and invincibly powerful."

"Ideas extend to stars, filling the heart's universe, with focused examination bringing all celestial maps within grasp, connecting the threads of latitude and longitude, simulating the laws of heaven and earth, a conception of the Starry Sky containing infinite changes and vibrant life."

"The Great Sun and Starry Sky merge as one, nurturing the spirit and mental state within the Divine Palace..." seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Li Yuan's consciousness had unwittingly learned the 'Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture' the first time he perceived the Jade Platform.

It was a magical Visualization Method that could temper the mind consciousness.

At that moment.

Li Yuan's consciousness was faced directly with the blazing Great Sun, as if subjected to the scorching fire, and intense pain instantly swept across his whole body, causing his physique to tremble involuntarily... the agony was immense.

"This is the torment of the soul, not actual pain, my body will not suffer any injuries," Li Yuan was already familiar with this and tried his best to endure.

To know, since starting his Martial Arts Cultivation in junior high school, the practice of Martial Path was very strenuous, involving both sweat and blood, especially so with Spear Technique.

Tired or sleepy? Continue training!

Hot weather? Train!

Cold weather? Train!

After a continuous month of cultivation, and then wanting to lazily rest for a day? No way!

It could be said that since Li Yuan began Cultivation Methods in Martial Arts with the intention to become a powerful martial artist.

His determination and willpower far exceeded that of ordinary people, even more so after several years of cultivation.

Even so, a year ago, when he first trained with the 'Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,' Li Yuan only lasted less than ten seconds.

The pain was truly unfathomable.

Over the past year, doing so almost every day, not only did it strengthen his spiritual power but also tempered his will.

"Ideas extend to stars, filling the heart's universe..." While enduring the pain, Li Yuan began to exercise the Visualization Method.

Humm~ Silently, a gentle force emanated from the endless Starry Sky, nourishing Li Yuan's mind consciousness, gradually restoring his fatigue.

Enabling him to withstand the scorching of the Great Sun.

```

Time ticked away, second by second... Li Yuan finally managed to hold on for about three minutes.

Boom! His consciousness shattered.

"Hmm?"

Li Yuan opened his eyes, as his consciousness had just returned to clarity. He briefly calmed his mind, then closed his eyes again, concentrating to enter the Mind Spirit Divine Palace once more and began to repeat the process... it was almost like self-torture.

A quarter of an hour!

Half an hour.

An hour.

Suddenly, Li Yuan received a prompt from the Divine Palace panel:

[Your spiritual power level has been raised from 12.4 to 12.5]

...

"Finally raised another 0.1 level," Li Yuan thought to himself, and then without further ado, he continued his persistent cultivation.

Another hour later.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan tried again, only to find that his consciousness could no longer converge on the Jade Platform.

He opened his eyes and looked down at his smart ring.

"It's 2:11 in the morning."

"Another two hours of cultivation?" This was also something Li Yuan had figured out.

Cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, he could only continue for a maximum of two hours each day, after which he would no longer be able to carry on.

Li Yuan hypothesized that cultivating this Method was so painful, with repeated forced exits from the spiritual world, it probably wasn't completely without cost, it was just that he hadn't noticed it yet.

Cultivating for a maximum of two hours per day was very likely a form of self-protection by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.

"Enough."

"Just one year of cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture and my spiritual power level has grown from 5.9 when I first entered my second year of high school to now 12.5," Li Yuan noticed another change in his body.

Compared to the extreme fatigue he felt two hours ago, his body had now completely recovered.

Symptoms like muscle soreness had disappeared entirely.

It was as if he had slept deeply for ten hours and then received the most professional physical therapy.

This was another benefit of cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture — deep restoration.

"Comfortable."

Li Yuan stood up, a smile appearing on his face.

In addition to his physical state returning to its peak, he could sense that his awareness of his body and his sensitivity to his surroundings had become much clearer.

"The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the control over the body."

"In that case, whether I am practicing Spear Technique, movement technique, or the Basic Cultivation Methods, the efficiency will be much higher," there was a glint in Li Yuan's eyes.

Why had he progressed so rapidly this past year?

First, it was because of the Divine Palace panel, which let him always know his progress, filling him with motivation to cultivate.

Second, it was the acquisition of the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture — this Visualization Method.

Spiritual power surpassing ordinary people!

Higher efficiency in cultivation!

Also allowing his body to recover to its healthiest state in a short time every day, at an extremely fast pace, saving a large amount of physical therapy expenses.

"People like Wan Xiao and some elite students would go for electric therapy, massage, medicinal baths, and other means of physical therapy to maintain and recover their bodies after arduous training," Li Yuan thought to himself: "But I reckon none of that can match the additional effects of my cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."

This was a very magical Visualization Method.

"But no matter how magical the Method, one still has to put in the effort to cultivate it step by step," Li Yuan was clear about this truth.

Many people have opportunities and encounters.

For example, being born into the Blue Star's richest family, isn't that an opportunity?

For example, if born into the family of the mightiest warrior of the Seven Star Alliance, isn't that an opportunity?

But.

No matter what kind of opportunities one may have, if one becomes complacent and neglects their cultivation because of them.

Then in the future, it would be difficult to reach the pinnacle.

"In this world."

"Many people are born into wealthy and powerful families, have resources, possess high talent, and also work hard," Li Yuan mused to himself: "If I don't work hard as well, how can I compare to them?"

Thinking this, Li Yuan stood up.

"Time to study for the academic subjects," Li Yuan entered the virtual network capsule within his room.
