Power Progression
The values below track Chen Mochuan’s Mental Power. Before Mental Mortal Shedding, its strength could not be measured precisely 101 138.
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Martial Artist stage; approaching the Mental Barrier | 101 | Repeated Mind Martial Drills tempered his mental energy. A Spirit-Nourishing Pill, efficiently refined by Spirit Devourer, strengthened it further but did not break the barrier. |
| Mental Mortal Shedding; 20.88 | 136 137 138 | After practicing the Seal Spirit Technique and absorbing the calligraphy’s spiritual charm, he shaped his Mental Power into drills that shattered the barrier. The breakthrough granted Internal Vision. |
| Initial Mental Mortal Shedding; 21.76 → 21.78 | 140 152 | His growth stabilized with daily visualization. Defeating a Mutated Wasteland Wolf King and absorbing its remnant Mental Spirituality produced a further increase. |
| 23.06 → 28.09 | 161 173 | His recorded value rose during continued cultivation over the following two months. |
| Middle-stage Mental Mortal Shedding; 31.69 | 176 | Nourishment from his physical breakthrough raised his Mental Power from 28.09, carrying it past 30. |
| 32.50 → 32.54 | 182 | Spirit Devourer absorbed Mental Spirituality from Liang Si’s residual spirit. |
| 38.66 | 195 | Visualization and Mental Spirituality absorbed from more than a hundred First-Order Ferocious Beasts contributed to rapid growth. |
| Late Mental Mortal Shedding; 40.98 → 40.99 | 215 217 | Beginning both sun-and-moon Visualization Methods, aided by Spirit Devourer, brought nearly a full-point gain. Moonlight later produced a small increase without active visualization. |
| Mortal Shedding perfection; 50.00 | 218 | He reached the realm’s limit; further visualization no longer increased his Mental Power. |
| Innate Realm; 50.00 → 62.36 | 218 | He broke the bottleneck using the two Visualization Methods and spiritual essence from the dome mural. His Mental Power gained limited outward projection. |
| 74.82 → 75.13 | 226 | A Mental Waterfall session tempered his Mental Power and deepened both Visualization Methods. |
| 86.38 → 86.51 | 231 232 | Repeated battles against the eighth-level Bone-Splitting Mastiff raised the recorded value, though later attempts yielded diminishing gains. |
Cultivation
- External nourishment — Spirit-nourishing medicines can strengthen Mental Power. Spirit Devourer made Chen Mochuan’s absorption of a Spirit-Nourishing Pill unusually efficient, but could not supply power the pill did not contain 101 134.
- Limit tempering — Sustained pressure and life-or-death experiences can strengthen the mind and will. Chen Mochuan’s Mind Martial Drills provided this pressure, at the cost of substantial mental energy 59 101 134 157.
- Blood-Qi nourishment — A stronger body and more vigorous Blood-Qi naturally nurture Mental Power; Chen Mochuan’s physical breakthrough produced a measurable increase 134 176.
- Visualization Methods — The Seal Spirit Technique enabled systematic mental cultivation once he could touch the Mental Barrier. The Sun-Forging Heaven-Burning and Taiyin Moon-Congealing Visualization Methods later advanced his cultivation toward the Innate Realm 135 136 215 218.
- Absorbed Mental Spirituality — Spirit Devourer can convert Mental Spirituality in certain residual spirits into growth. The gain from an individual beast diminishes as Chen Mochuan’s Mental Power rises 152 195 201.
Abilities & Limits
Internal Vision and bodily control
Breaking through to Mental Mortal Shedding lets Chen Mochuan inspect his body and coordinate its movements more precisely 138.
- Perceives internal structures and changes in Blood-Qi, muscles, and organs 101 138.
- Improves force generation, movement precision, and martial analysis 102 138.
- Allows fine muscle control around injuries; Chen Mochuan used it to stabilize broken ribs and slow internal bleeding 152.
Perception and focus
- Stronger Mental Power sharpens the senses, speeds thought, and helps process combat details 101 138.
- Mental endurance supports Mind Martial Drills and prolonged combat, but intensive use still causes exhaustion 59 135 232.
Outward projection and Mental Touch
At the Innate Realm, Chen Mochuan can extend Mental Power slightly beyond his body 218.
- Its initial reach is less than half a centimeter; contact lets him perceive fine details of an object’s structure 218.
- By coating his fist with projected Mental Power, he gains faint contact feedback in combat. Maintaining it demands concentration and initially slowed his response 223.
- At his current stage, projection cannot directly attack or interfere with an opponent. Fu Dongliu explains that it can later help project and control True Qi once Chen Mochuan’s body also reaches the Innate Realm 219 222.
Cultivation limits
- The Mental Barrier blocks the transition to Mental Mortal Shedding; simply striking it with more power proved ineffective for Chen Mochuan 101 137.
- Mortal Shedding Mental Power reaches a bottleneck at 50 points in Chen Mochuan’s progression, requiring an Innate Realm breakthrough for further growth 218.
- Intensive Mental Waterfall use requires recovery. After one session, Chen Mochuan judged roughly four days between deep sessions suitable for him 226.
