Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

The next day, Gao Sheng, who had been resting until he felt refreshed, entered his personal virtual space.

Then, when he saw the system panel, he was surprised to find that his willpower had actually reached the first level of the cosmic level.

"Hey bro, I don't feel anything at all? How did I break through?" Gao Sheng asked from inside the tin shack.

"How many people have you killed this past month? Have you counted them?" Lao Tie chuckled.

Gao Sheng was taken aback. "No, not a single one. They're all virtual."

Old Tie said calmly, "Killing is virtual, but emotions and will are not."

"You've only killed a few people in all this time of cultivation. The virtual opponents you faced in the killing space were emotionless machines, unlike what you've experienced in the past month."

"I bet when you killed those opponents, you could feel their various emotions of despair, anger, and resentment. That's called tempering your heart!"

"Is killing a way to cultivate one's mind?" Gao Sheng wondered.

"No, killing is a way to refine the mind, and not killing is also a way to refine the mind. There is a saying that it is called refining the mind in the mortal world, which is to experience the emotions of countless wills."

Old Tie walked a few steps, then sat down on the bench and said, "You're still so young. You'll experience these things for yourself later. It's useless to just talk about them. I'll just say one thing: the goal of cultivating the mind is to make my heart unique, and the path of cultivating the mind is to follow one's true nature."

Gao Sheng pondered for a long time, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Bro..."

Old Tie waved his hand: "Alright, now that your willpower has reached the cosmic level, you can continue to improve your guidance techniques. Focus on your training."

Gao Sheng suddenly remembered something.

"Then, can this evolution proceed?"

"Can."

"How long will it take?"

The arena competition is in a month; if too much time passes, Gao Sheng won't be able to evolve.

"I estimate it will take about two weeks."

Gao Sheng continued practicing the guiding technique that day and felt much more relaxed. He finally crossed the hurdle of the secret method route. Even after the route went astray, he did not faint. His mental power amplitude indeed broke through to 51.

After returning home that evening, Gao Sheng told Nan Si and Elder Talo that he would be going into seclusion for a period of time to reflect on what he had gained from the battle.

……

The silver spaceship sat quietly in the volcanic crater.

Inside the spaceship, Gao Sheng took a deep breath. "Let's begin."

evolution!

Countless gray gases surged out from the inner world, permeating Gao Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, dantian, and every cell in his body.

Exactly the same as last time, but in much larger quantities.

The pain in my body and soul was many times more intense.

Fortunately, Gao Sheng is fully capable of handling it.

The pain of his body's cells breaking down and rebuilding didn't even change his expression.

After an unknown amount of time, as the physical pain gradually subsided, an even more terrifying tearing sensation suddenly struck! It was a ripping from the soul, with countless bizarre and fantastical illusions flashing before his eyes.

These illusions were like countless hands, trying to tear his soul to pieces.

Gao Sheng gritted his teeth and held on to his conscience, but little did he know that it was not an illusion. The power was actually tearing his soul apart. When the last bit of consciousness was swallowed up, everything went black and he completely lost consciousness.

A few days later, inside the spaceship, cosmic energy suddenly surged.

……

Fourteen days later.

Gao Sheng gradually regained consciousness from his confusion.

"Such immense power!"

As soon as I clenched my fists, I immediately felt that powerful force, a feeling I had never experienced before.

"wrong!"

Gao Sheng was startled and immediately went into the system space to check the system panel.

The system space has reached 10 kilometers in length and width.

The white lettering also became enormous.

……

Looking inward again at his sea of ​​consciousness and dantian, the primordial force planet had transformed into two disc-shaped star systems. In the very center of each star system, a deep, dark black hole was floating, slowly devouring the surrounding cosmic energy.

"Holy crap!" Gao Sheng screamed, "Bro!"

"What is it?"

"This evolution... isn't it supposed to be gene evolution? How did it go straight to the cosmic level?! How am I supposed to participate in the Genius Battle?!"

"Who says it has to be at the level of evolutionary genes? A battle of geniuses? Is that really that important?"

Uh, Gao Sheng suddenly remembered that it didn't seem to be said that it must be at the level of evolutionary genes.

"Evolution system, direct evolution, including physical enhancement, soul enhancement, willpower enhancement, and so on," Lao Tie chuckled.

"So what has evolved?"

"Experience it for yourself."

It's not genetic enhancement, but willpower? No, going from cosmic level 1 to cosmic level 6 doesn't count as evolution, does it? Is it the soul?

Gao Sheng withdrew his consciousness and immediately sensed the various law fluctuations within the spaceship's space.

Around his body, in the spaceship cabin, Gao Sheng could not only sense the original five-colored energy, but also three other colorless energies. Each energy corresponded to the fluctuation of the law. The fluctuation of the fire law was extremely clear, as were the fluctuations of wood, water, earth, and metal. There were also three that were more blurred: wind, light, and lightning.

There are two other types of fluctuations that do not correspond to energy. One is the fluctuation of space itself, which, although not as powerful as the laws of fire and wood, is clearer than wind, light, and lightning.

There is another extremely vague and unpredictable element, which is time.

"You've grasped it?" Old Tie asked. "This time, you've improved your soul; isn't your understanding of the laws much clearer now?"

"Then how could it become cosmic level?" Gao Sheng gritted his teeth.

"This? Who told you to cultivate to the ninth level limit? Breakthroughs are something that can happen at any time. You usually suppress it, and when you evolve, you're not even in your right mind, so of course you'll break through." Old Tie laughed.

Gao Sheng opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Gao Sheng admitted that this evolution had indeed brought great benefits.

The benefits are greater than the combined effects of the Purple Fire Ape Wine and Golden Leaf I had the previous two times.

The laws of space were not sensed at all before the ascension.

Of course, the laws are interconnected as a whole, and the spatial law, as the superior law of the fire law, has the closest connection. As long as Gao Sheng can continue to improve his understanding of the fire law, he will eventually sense the spatial law.

But it must have been very vague at first.

This is actually the path many geniuses of the laws of space take, after all, people who are born with the talent of the laws of space are extremely rare.

Like that wild man Rong Jun, he naturally touched the laws of space after comprehending the laws of earth to a certain depth.

But that Berlan was born with extremely high spatial law talent, probably no less than Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone. This is almost impossible for ordinary life forms like humans. There must have been extremely special circumstances to create a monster like Berlan.

But now, being promoted is equivalent to having the talent to know all the laws, although it's not very high.

This is not a physical talent, but rather that his soul is more in tune with the origin of the universe.
