Second Sea of Consciousness, Divine Realm Spiritual Power?

Buzz!!!

Without the slightest hesitation, taking advantage of his unprecedentedly good condition, Xia Yu chose to press on.

Because of the Ghost martial soul, creating an illusory Ghost Domain Space had long become second nature to him.

After all, it was originally a soul skill he had mastered.

Very soon, Xia Yu created the Ghost Domain Space and temporarily placed it within the Niwan Palace at his brow, according to plan.

"Phew, I hope it succeeds on the first try."

Rubbing his slightly sore, swollen brow, Xia Yu took a deep breath before shifting his gaze back to the Gold of Life in his hand.

It had to be said, the Gold of Life truly deserved its reputation as a rare treasure and supreme resource. Even after cleansing the body of a Titled Douluo like him, it had barely been depleted.

From this, it was easy to see that the life force contained within the Gold of Life was truly beyond measure.

However, Xia Yu did not linger over the Gold of Life for long.

After confirming that everything was in order, he once again began drawing out life force.

When the torrent-like life force was sent into the Ghost Domain Space at his brow, he directly shut out all outside distractions and focused intently on the state of the Ghost Domain Space.

As more and more life force was transported into the Ghost Domain Space, a miraculous change appeared.

Under the cleansing and strengthening of that life force, faint spatial ripples emerged within the Ghost Domain Space and continuously expanded.

Under the influence of the spatial ripples, the Ghost Domain Space rapidly solidified and began evolving toward a real spiritual world.

"This... succeeded on the first try?"

Watching the Ghost Domain Space evolve at such speed, Xia Yu felt rather surprised.

To be honest, he had not truly expected to succeed on his first attempt.

Earlier, when he said he hoped it would work on the first try, he had merely been encouraging himself.

He had already prepared himself to try several more times.

But who could have expected his luck to be so good that he succeeded in just one attempt?

It was as though the goddess of fortune herself was watching over him.

Since things had reached this point, Xia Yu naturally had to strike while the iron was hot.

He immediately guided even more life force into the Ghost Domain Space at his brow.

Under life force's overwhelming reconstruction, the Ghost Domain Space soon underwent a complete transformation.

Its former eerie gloom was swept away, and it directly evolved into a verdant fairyland.

At this point, the Second Sea of Consciousness had basically been opened. Only the final step remained: merging the Gold of Life into the space at his brow.

Everything continued smoothly, without incident. Under Xia Yu's control, the entire piece of Gold of Life fused into the space at his brow before long.

Boom!!!

A brilliant emerald glow blossomed from Xia Yu's brow.

Immediately afterward, a vertical emerald eye slowly appeared between his brows and opened.

As the vertical eye emerged, an indescribable feeling of clarity and comfort surged through Xia Yu's heart.

While undergoing transformation, his spiritual power was also skyrocketing wildly.

Even his original Mental Sea of Consciousness was affected and began evolving alongside it.

Xia Yu was not surprised by this. After leaving a sliver of his consciousness to keep watch, he simply let it develop on its own.

Time slowly passed.

The Mental Sea of Consciousness actually overtook the newcomer, completing its evolution before the Second Sea of Consciousness and becoming a real spiritual world in one stroke.

However, the Second Sea of Consciousness was not to be outdone. It soon followed suit and completed its opening.

Like the Mental Sea of Consciousness, it too became a real spiritual world.

As for the Gold of Life, having completed its mission, it transformed into a green-gold sun that illuminated the entire Second Sea of Consciousness.

"Awesome, this feels absolutely incredible!!!"

All the changes had stopped, and Xia Yu could finally spare the attention to inspect the changes within himself.

He had not known until he checked, but once he did, he was thrilled beyond belief.

Thanks to his previous focus on spiritual power, the gains from opening the Second Sea of Consciousness this time were exceptionally enormous.

So enormous that they exceeded even Xia Yu's expectations.

You might not believe it, but his spiritual power had actually reached a certain limit at this very moment.

He could clearly feel that as long as he took one more step forward, he would be able to touch that domain belonging to gods.

That was right. Xia Yu's spiritual power realm had already touched upon the Divine Realm.

But he had merely touched it. If he wanted to break through, he would probably still need to spend considerable effort planning it out.

For example, he could find a way to make his Ghost body martial soul undergo its second awakening, or find some immortal herbs capable of increasing spiritual power.

Neither of those would be easy to accomplish.

It seemed that for Xia Yu to raise his spiritual power realm to the Divine Origin Realm in the short term was virtually impossible.

"Ugh, this feeling of scratching an itch through a boot really is awful."

Unable to raise his spiritual power to the Divine Origin Realm in one go, Xia Yu felt rather helpless.

But what else could he do?

The Body Sect held the secret method for a second awakening of body martial souls in a death grip. Obtaining it would be quite difficult.

As for immortal herbs that enhanced spiritual power, the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest did have some.

But obtaining them would not be easy either.

After all, that treasured place was Tang San's private reserve for the Tang Sect. Without connections, anyone who wanted to go there and take immortal herbs would find the door firmly shut.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt even more helpless.

"Forget it. I won't think about that anymore. I should test out this spiritual power at its limit first."

With no solution in sight, Xia Yu simply stopped dwelling on it and shifted his attention to his spiritual power, which had reached its limit.

In an instant, his formidable spiritual power, equivalent to that of an Ultimate Douluo specializing in spiritual power, rapidly spread outward and swept through everything in the estate.

Every minute detail was laid bare. Nothing could evade Xia Yu's detection.

The busy maids in the estate, the guards patrolling on watch, and Meng Hongchen, bedridden with illness...

"What the hell is going on? It's only been a little over ten days since I last saw her. How did Meng end up bedridden?"

The moment Xia Yu discovered that Meng Hongchen was bedridden, he immediately lost all interest in continuing his experiment with spiritual power.

Without another word, he ended this period of secluded cultivation and temporarily set aside matters such as Secret Spirit Ascension.

When Xia Yu pushed open the bedroom door and entered, Meng Hongchen, who had been half-reclining on the bed and reading, abruptly looked up.

"Brother Yu, you're back. Did the soul hunt go smoothly? Did you obtain a suitable soul ring?"

Upon discovering that it was Xia Yu, Meng Hongchen's mood visibly brightened.

She did not even have time to consider her own condition before getting out of bed and hurrying toward Xia Yu.

"Slow down. Take a look at the condition you're in."

Seeing Meng Hongchen's excited appearance, Xia Yu could not help worrying about her.

He immediately reached out, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and pulled her into his embrace, stopping her from moving any farther.

"Ah..."

Meng Hongchen cried out in surprise and instinctively tried to struggle.

However, before she could begin struggling, a trace of pain flashed across her face. Then she went limp in Xia Yu's arms.

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"

Xia Yu looked down at Meng Hongchen, but he did not let concern cloud his judgment.

He decisively activated his soul power and spiritual power, beginning to examine Meng Hongchen's physical condition.

"Cold poison backlash? And it's this severe? How did this happen?"
