Reentering Void Silence! Spiritual Guidance Technique?

Wu Ming was still somewhat dissatisfied.

It was not greed, merely the feeling that he could do better.

He suddenly realized that the Spiritual Force he was using to observe only showed him the exterior of the cells.

If he could probe further and observe the changes inside the cells, both the efficiency of constructing Energy Lock nodes and his control over force would improve even more dramatically.

In fact, when Wu Ming had first awakened his Spiritual Force, he had attempted more detailed observations. But faced with the terrifying mental consumption at the time, he had backed down.

Yet after more than ten days of training, he felt that his mental strength had grown considerably. Although his Spiritual Force had not increased by much, both its quality and quantity had improved. It should be enough to withstand deeper consumption.

With that thought, he immediately mobilized his Spiritual Force and probed into the deeper microscopic world.

In an instant, an intricate structure he had never touched before emerged within his perception. Countless molecular chains intertwined and coiled around one another, energy flowing endlessly through them. Every minute rhythm was clearly visible.

The feeling was too wondrous, as if God were looking down upon the mortal world. Every structure in the microscopic environment was crystal clear, as though the entire world had come alive.

More importantly, he discovered that his understanding and control of force were soaring at a visible rate, countless inspirations surging forth like a tide.

Before he knew it, Wu Ming had immersed himself in it, overlooking the price hidden behind such rapid improvement.

His mental strength was draining at an astonishing speed. In merely ten seconds, the Spiritual Force in his Sea of Consciousness had nearly run dry.

By the time Wu Ming finally sensed that something was wrong, his Sea of Consciousness had already been severely overdrawn, and his awareness had become hazy.

The next second, his body tilted backward, and he slumped against the chair back, falling into a deep sleep.

Yet strangely, although his body had fallen asleep, his consciousness suddenly felt lighter amid that haziness, as if it had broken free of some restraint and abruptly risen upward.

When Wu Ming regained clarity, he was astonished to find that his consciousness had once again entered that boundless void.

This was the Void Silence mentioned in an ancient text, a special state of mind. It was said that returning one's consciousness to Void Silence could greatly develop the human body's potential.

Void and silence both referred to states on the spiritual level—everything empty, everything still!

However, this realm held tremendous dangers. With one careless mistake, one's consciousness could leave the physical body at any moment and return completely to nothingness.

Wu Ming's consciousness jolted. I entered the Void Silence state again? Could it be because my mental strength was overdrawn?

Probably not. The original novel never mentioned that overdrawn mental strength would make one's consciousness enter Void Silence.

Not only had it not mentioned it—Wu Ming recalled the entire novel and found nothing whatsoever related to the Void Silence state.

Wait, my consciousness is actually awake!

He suddenly realized that he could think in this place, rather than remaining muddled and confused as he had the last time.

That was a good thing. It meant that as long as he wished, his consciousness could return to his body at any time.

Forget it. If it exists, it has its reasons. I won't worry about what this state of mind is for now.

Wu Ming secretly shook his head. What matters most now is, when should I return?

Even if his consciousness had regained clarity, staying too long still carried the risk of completely leaving his body.

Fortunately, he could return on his own initiative, rather than needing his body's warning signs to pull him back to reality as before.

So he hesitated over whether to delay his return for a while. According to the ancient text, while consciousness was immersed in Void Silence, his body's potential would increase greatly.

For every additional second he remained here, his body outside would grow a little stronger.

Although I wasn't very conscious the last time I came in, I remember the time. I stayed for around ten minutes. That can be considered a safe duration.

And now... counting the time I spent recalling the original novel, I've only been here for one minute.

Indeed, within this space, Wu Ming's memory and thinking speed had also been greatly enhanced. He had recalled a novel containing millions of characters in only a few dozen seconds.

In this state of "supercomputing power," if he used the remaining nine minutes to study secret techniques or deduce a Guidance Technique for Spiritual Force, his results would far surpass anything he could achieve outside.

But... Wu Ming did not hesitate. His consciousness returned directly!

I have my cheat. I can already walk every path to the end. Why risk death for such a small benefit?

Besides, the ancient text never said when consciousness would completely leave the body. What if there's a cumulative time limit? Or what if the duration before separation differs each time? Wouldn't I be screwed?

If he did not have his cheat, it would be understandable to risk everything for such a fortuitous encounter. But since he already had confidence in a steady rise, he naturally would not gamble with his life.

With that thought in mind, he opened his eyes.

The instant his consciousness returned, Wu Ming immediately felt refreshed from head to toe, without the slightest trace of his previous exhaustion. Soon afterward, he discovered that the preliminary node on his arm had now been fully polished and completed.

I've mastered the first level of Hidden Strength just like that? He was somewhat astonished. It seemed that ancient text had not lied—spiritual Void Silence truly could develop the body's potential.

But he quickly noticed something else was wrong. His Hidden Strength limit had also risen, now reaching around 1.6 times. Yet that was not the key point. The key point was that his physical fitness had also been greatly enhanced!

Even without checking the panel, Wu Ming could clearly feel that his strength had definitely surpassed six thousand kilograms, perhaps even approaching seven thousand.

Not only that, his Spiritual Force had increased even more, likely catching up to his Genetic Energy.

Wu Ming's perception in that regard was not very clear, so he still opened the panel and looked at his current attributes.

[Strength: 5502→6811 KG (Advanced Warrior)]

[Spiritual Force: 4551→6687 KG (Advanced Warrior)]

"Hiss..."

He instinctively drew in a sharp breath, his pupils trembling as he could hardly believe his eyes.

His strength had risen by thirteen hundred kilograms, equivalent to the results of five days of training.

But that was nothing. The most terrifying part was his Spiritual Force, which had increased by a full twenty-one hundred kilograms!

At his previous training efficiency, he would have needed to cultivate bitterly for an entire month to achieve such results!

No, how long was I unconscious for?

Wu Ming suddenly felt uneasy. Even if the Void Silence state was extraordinarily mysterious, its effects should not have been this powerful. Otherwise, why had the original novel never mentioned it at all?

He even wondered whether his body had slept for several days. Only when he took out his phone and checked did he finally let out a breath. "It was only two hours. That's fine."

"Wait, two hours??"

He was startled again. "I remember that after my consciousness entered Void Silence last time, it also took two hours before I came out. But I clearly stayed in that space for ten minutes!"

"This time, I only stayed for one minute, yet two hours still passed outside?"

Wu Ming was confused. He did not know whether time within that space was chaotic, or whether no matter how long he stayed inside, two hours would always pass outside.

He could not figure it out.

Forget it. I'll know which it is after testing it.

He prepared to take another risk, deliberately overdraw his mental strength to enter the Void Silence world, then return after staying for only one second to verify the relationship between time inside and outside.

One second carried an extremely low risk of consciousness leaving his body, yet it would allow him to verify the rules of that space. It was worth trying.

Thus, Wu Ming repeated the previous process, probing his Spiritual Force into the depths of his cells and rapidly consuming the reserves in his Sea of Consciousness.

This time, he held on for two seconds longer before overdrawn Spiritual Force sent him unconscious once again.

However, this time, his consciousness did not enter that space again. Instead, he fell into genuine slumber.

When he awoke again, nearly ten hours had passed, and the sky outside had turned completely dark.

"I didn't enter it this time?" Wu Ming was somewhat disappointed. Rubbing his brow, he felt a faint ache in his head. He had slept longer this time, yet his condition was worse instead.

But inwardly, he also felt quietly relieved.

This was good too. Since he would not enter Void Silence every time he overdrawn himself, he could continue his microscopic perception. At the very least, this method truly had miraculous effects on improving Hidden Strength.

As for the Void Silence state... he would leave it to fate.

He had never been particularly interested in opportunities that might endanger his life, unless one day he could eliminate all risk entirely.

Checking the time, he saw that it was already deep into the night. Wu Ming forced himself through his exhaustion, left the imaging room, and returned to the dormitory.

Without disturbing Jia Yi, who was already asleep, he lay down on his bed and prepared to complete the day's routine training before sleeping.

Three hours later.

Wu Ming opened his eyes again. His Spiritual Force had returned to its peak state—no, it was even stronger than before.

Feeling puzzled, he could not help opening the panel to confirm it. Then he was startled. His Spiritual Force had actually increased by two hundred and ten kilograms!

The same three hours of training had produced three times yesterday's results.

Could it be that I've discovered the secret of the Spiritual Guidance Technique? Wu Ming's heart pounded like a drum, and he was beside himself with excitement.
