Power Progression

Spiritual Vision is measured in points rather than named realms. Its total can be spent on Lore World actions, so recorded values are not necessarily permanent; the table tracks major confirmed thresholds and high-water milestones.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
0.1 → 1 point	1	Began as slightly above-average eyesight. At 1 point, Yang He could see part of the world’s essence, including the Treasure Fish’s true identities as Hungry Ghosts.
4.5 points	4	Surged after Yang He came into contact with the Three Mountains Goddess in the Ghost Lotus Lore World.
10-point threshold; 13.7 recorded	8	Allowed a deeper glimpse of the world’s true nature; unlocked the ability to spend Spiritual Vision to refresh available Lore identities. The panel warned Yang He not to speak of what he saw or lose his sanity.
100-point threshold; 112.7 recorded	38	The panel stated that Yang He could see the world’s “true nature,” beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
476.8 points	87	Let Yang He clearly see Malevolent Spirits in the Third Layer of Hell and faintly glimpse the Fourth Layer.
3,008.5 points	152	Sect Leader Tongtian’s silhouette became clearer as the total surpassed 3,000 points.
8,723.5 points	170	Yang He could see the grotesque inhabitants of four layers of hell, including details as fine as hairs on Ox-Ghosts.
21,000 points	202 203	During contemplation of the Heavenly Dao, Spiritual Vision revealed the Heavenly Dao as a skeletal tree connected to innumerable Malevolent Spirits; the strain nearly damaged Yang He’s Dao Heart.
141,000 points	256 257	Crossing 100,000 points brought Yang He into contact with the Sixth Layer of Hell, where he encountered ten distorted suns.
100,000,000 points	491	Reached nine digits while an entity from Guixu pursued the bait formed by Tang Sanzang’s flesh; the crisis eased after Yang He exchanged the Buddha statues.
1.04 billion points	499	Allowed Yang He to observe the ten superimposed layers of hell and reach the Tenth Layer.
13.75 billion points	545	Following contact with a Sage, Yang He could see into the Eleventh Layer of Hell and perceive the faint aura of Guixu.

Origin and Development

For twenty-four years across both of Yang He’s lives, Spiritual Vision remained at 0.1 points and only manifested as unusually good eyesight. Its growth began after marvels appeared around Peibai City. At 1 point, it exposed the Treasure Fish sold in the market as grotesque Hungry Ghosts and revealed that medicinal marvels used by martial artists were derived from ghosts. 1

Spiritual Vision became Yang He’s primary means of navigating the hidden overlap between the human world, ghosts, and the endless hell. It also became the resource used by his panel to enter Lore Worlds, alter role-play conditions, and exchange acquired objects for further growth. 3 5 8

Its growth is especially volatile around major supernatural entities and truths. Encounters with Sages, the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Court, Guixu, and the Journey to the West Tribulation all cause extreme surges, though the knowledge gained can inflict pain, destabilize Yang He’s mind, or threaten his Dao Heart. 77 152 168 202 491

Abilities & Functions

Perception of Ghosts and World Essence

Spiritual Vision exposes concealed supernatural beings, yin qi, and the true forms behind ordinary appearances.

• Reveals ghosts disguised as animals, people, objects, or mundane phenomena, such as the Hungry Ghost Treasure Fish. 1
• Lets Yang He observe ghosts without producing yin qi himself; a revived Hungry Ghost could not identify him as the source of its scrutiny. 21
• Exposes ghostification, including the tiger-bone forms coiled around constables’ spines through the Way of the Chained Ghost. 13
• Detects the composition of false environments, such as a paper-built room within a mural. 69
• At high totals, reveals the layered hell beneath the Main World and the entities inhabiting it. 87 170 257 499 545

Information Analysis

The ability provides concise information about objects, cultivation methods, identities, and ghost-related phenomena.

• Identified the Treasure Fish as Hungry Ghosts and revealed the risks of being seen by ghosts. 1
• Identified the Pupil Ghost Way, including its blindness condition and its function as a spiritual root for communicating with external yin qi. 5
• Revealed the Way of the Chained Ghost and its requirement that the practitioner remain within a tiger’s territory. 13
• Analyzed yin objects, including their origins, uses, and Spiritual Vision exchange values. 11 24 54
• Revealed potential promotion paths for Yang He’s Pupil Ghost, including the Flame Five Lights Buddha’s Glazed Eyes. 119

Lore World Interface

Spiritual Vision functions as the panel’s expenditure resource for Lore World activity.

• Consumes points to enter associated Lore Worlds through Mundane Items. 3 5
• Can be spent to bring objects, animals, medicines, and other materials into a Lore World. 13 27
• Can impart cultivation methods to selected identities, improving their quality or capabilities. 14 92
• Allows identity refreshes after the 10-point threshold; refresh costs rise sharply with repeated use. 14
• Can be used for deep fusion and other permanent-character functions. 182 455

Exchange and Accumulation

Lore harvests and yin objects can be exchanged for Spiritual Vision.

• Yang He may bring a Lore reward into the Main World or exchange it for points. 4
• Unredeemed rewards eventually convert into Spiritual Vision automatically. 54
• Particularly dangerous objects can yield large amounts, such as the Yin-Qi-Infused Coffin Lid, which was worth 4.8 points. 8
• Major contact with Sages, heavenly entities, and Guixu can increase the total by millions or billions. 168 351 491 545

Synergy with the Pupil Ghost

Spiritual Vision complements, but does not replace, Yang He’s Pupil Ghost.

• Spiritual Vision offsets the Pupil Ghost’s visual backlash so long as it is not exhausted, preventing Yang He from becoming permanently blind. 5 11
• Using the Pupil Ghost alongside Spiritual Vision can overcome perception-based distortions that Spiritual Vision alone fails to detect. 24
• The Pupil Ghost’s growth expands Yang He’s ability to act upon what Spiritual Vision reveals, including detaching from his body and parasitizing hosts. 50

Limitations and Hazards

• Ghost detection risk — The panel warns that ghosts annihilate those who can see them; Yang He survives by concealing that he perceives them. 1
• Not infallible — Tiger stripes altered Yang He’s visual perception and concealed the yamen study’s true state from Spiritual Vision alone. 24
• Mental strain — The 10-point threshold warns against madness, while observing the Heavenly Dao nearly causes irreversible Dao Heart damage. 8 203
• Sage-level danger — Spiritual Vision can clarify a Sage’s form, but direct exposure remains overwhelmingly dangerous. Looking toward Nuwa caused rapid growth and nausea, while Sect Leader Tongtian’s presence deprived Yang He of his senses. 77 152
• Point expenditure — Entering Lore Worlds, transferring items, refreshing identities, and empowering role-play all consume Spiritual Vision. 3 13 14
• High totals do not guarantee safety — At more than one million points, Yang He gains greater resistance to the unknown, but a direct confrontation with a Sage would still mean instant death. 351
