240x Boost, Pneuma-Ousia Power

"Teacher, you've finally returned. Where have you been all day?"

"Have you been spending the whole day writing a cultivation technique for me?"

"Not exactly, but it did take up quite a bit of time."

Neuvillette cast a glance at Chen Zhou with his indifferent expression, then gave a light cough.

He didn't feel right about deceiving his disciple, especially since the level of their world was not particularly high.

Under these circumstances, condensing the process of the Primordial Dragon's power accumulation into a cultivation technique would allow Chen Zhou to utilize it fully.

The purpose of writing this technique, beyond helping Chen Zhou increase his strength, was primarily to prevent his martial soul from collapsing.

Since he had decided to grant Chen Zhou dominion over the Primordial Sea in advance, he had to prevent a situation where his martial soul couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered.

If the martial soul were to truly collapse, Chen Zhou would be effectively crippled in their world, which was not something Neuvillette wished to see.

However, he didn't mention these matters to Chen Zhou, intending to wait until the boy broke through to the second ring before explaining.

"I am now passing this technique to you."

"You may call this the Ancient Dragon Heart Sutra. It is a template I condensed based on the power of the Primordial Dragon and the circulation of the Primordial Sea."

"It will help you quickly master the water element and elevate your so-called soul power into elemental power—that is, raising it to a new level of strength."

As Neuvillette spoke, he raised his hand, looking at the strange-looking sphere of water in his palm.

Without hesitation, Neuvillette pushed the water sphere directly into Chen Zhou's mind, and a set of cultivation techniques instantly appeared within his consciousness.

It was less of a technique and more of a complete martial arts system, a comprehensive map of bodily movement and energy flow.

Through various methods of tempering and the shifting of acupuncture points, he could absorb greater power, thereby raising his own physical limits.

Neuvillette had been born in human form; had he been in dragon form, Chen Zhou would never have been able to find the corresponding meridians to cultivate.

Yet, as Chen Zhou felt the circulation of this technique, his eyes lit up.

The human body contained twenty-four core acupuncture points; Neuvillette's technique was essentially about opening these points to begin perceiving the essence of the water element.

The stronger the water element, the faster the absorption rate and the greater the energy produced, which in turn accelerated the growth of his soul power or the newly emerged elemental power.

"Damn, Teacher, this technique is incredible."

"This is nearly twenty-four times my previous cultivation speed. And if I don't use ordinary water but rather the water from the Primordial Sea, the speed could very well reach two hundred and forty times."

Chen Zhou swallowed hard as he spoke.

The gap was so vast that it was almost unbelievable.

A two-hundred-and-forty-fold increase in cultivation speed meant invincibility.

And this wasn't even the limit; it was merely the water from the Primordial Sea he could currently access.

Even so, such an extreme cultivation speed far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

He wouldn't even need to cultivate diligently to rapidly raise his soul power level to a degree unimaginable to others.

Watching Chen Zhou's shocked expression, Neuvillette remained impassive.

He had been the Primordial Dragon since his birth, the most powerful being in the world, so he had little interest in such things as cultivation.

One could even say he had no real thoughts on the matter at all.

Seeing Chen Zhou's excitement, he didn't mind.

As he lifted his palm slightly, the surrounding scene began to shift.

"You may close your eyes now and feel the way it circulates within your body."

"I will first help you open these twenty-four acupuncture points."

Neuvillette's voice was calm.

After he finished speaking, Chen Zhou gave a soft acknowledgment, then sat cross-legged and began to quietly perceive the changes around him.

A type of water element began to emerge in the previously dry air, though it was completely different from any water element Chen Zhou had ever felt.

It seemed to contain two types of power; they felt entirely opposite, yet were closely linked.

One seemed to represent a pure form of spiritual power, so refined that it began to help Chen Zhou's own spirit slowly expand.

The other was a substance-like power that began to help refine Chen Zhou's soul power.

At first, the sensation was exhilarating. Under the push of these two forces, he could feel his spiritual power and his inherent soul power beginning to change.

Especially his spiritual power; within his vast, boundless blue sea of consciousness, tiny specks of golden light appeared, beginning to gradually reshape his mental sea.

However, as these two forces poured into his body frantically, as if they were inexhaustible, Chen Zhou's eyes snapped open, and he sat there in a daze.

The area around him was boundless, with no land in sight—only a churning, endless ocean.

The ocean was calm, yet beneath the surface, it seemed to contain the most essential life force of another world.

Looking at the endless ocean and the silent Neuvillette standing there, Chen Zhou swallowed hard.

"Teacher, is this... the Primordial Sea?"

"I... may I ask, isn't this supposed to be a simulated environment?"

"Can this really simulate the Primordial Sea?"

After Chen Zhou muttered this to himself, he swept his gaze across his surroundings.

This place was entirely a simulated environment, a product of his own dream; could a dream truly replicate the power of the Primordial Sea?

This was something Chen Zhou found impossible to imagine.

Hearing his words, Neuvillette glanced back at him, a trace of shock flickering within his calm eyes.

"This is not a simulation; a sliver of power belonging to the Primordial Sea is truly flowing through here."

"Although the actual power of the Primordial Sea contained within this is minimal, I have no idea how it descended here."

As Neuvillette spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and two glows—one gold and one violet—began to alternate and circulate in his palm, forming a terrifying force.

"This power is known as Pneuma-Ousia. You likely cannot absorb it, or rather, you cannot fully utilize it."

"But if you can use this power to refine your soul power and mental energy, granting them more potent properties, you will be better able to adapt to the Ancient Dragon Authority and master even greater strength in the future."

Neuvillette stopped there, leaving the rest unsaid.

A person's inherent mental energy is quite meager, completely incomparable to the power of Pneuma-Ousia.

The spirit represented by Pneuma is not a materialized form of mental energy, yet upon arriving in this world, it seemed to have transformed into such.

Now that this mental energy had merged with Chen Zhou, it not only brought about an unimaginable improvement but also provided an unparalleled reinforcement to his foundation.

If the standard mental energy of this world were considered ordinary, then once Chen Zhou's mental energy fully transformed into Pneuma—that is, this golden mental energy—

Its density and quality would be at least fifty to one hundred times that of normal mental energy, and the special effects contained within it would be beyond imagination.
