As he traversed among the stars, one image after another flashed through Murong Liu's mind. These images moved at an extremely fast pace, almost instantaneously, without repeating or stopping.
Murong Liu suddenly realized that the inheritance had already begun.
For the next two hours, images kept flashing through Murong Liu's mind, but nothing else happened.
Murong Liu didn't understand what was happening, but after the images finished playing, he felt much more relaxed.
Just as Murong Liu was about to stretch his body and relax, he suddenly realized that he had become unable to move, as if his body had been taken over.
Even spiritual power was affected to some extent, only able to circulate within the sea of spirit and unable to be released outwards.
However, because his mind was filled with images, Murong Liubing was unable to think clearly.
At this point, Murong Liu finally understood why the Palace Master of the Star Palace had been unable to gain recognition and become the Lord of the Sky of the Star Immortal Realm despite having obtained the Heaven-Mending Fragment for so long.
That's because the fragments of the Starry Sky Immortal Realm primarily attack the sea of spirit. Any cultivator with high strength would find it difficult not to resist at this time.
This resistance is clearly contradictory to the images that keep playing in his mind.
To obtain the inheritance of the Lord of the Azure Sky, one must accept the images in one's mind. However, these images are no different from attacks to the strong. Murong Liu's first task is to not resist them.
Not only were they unable to resist the attacks from within the Sea of Spirit, but they also had to accept the entire scene.
This is achieved through pure spiritual power.
However, compared to spiritual power, mental power is the most difficult thing to control, which is why the inheritance of the Starry Sky Wonderland is so difficult.
Even if the Palace Master of the Starry Sky Palace couldn't inherit the legacy through this method, Murong Liu could understand.
As time went by, Murong Liu could feel that his mental strength, which had been eroded for a long time, had become extremely fragile.
This is the most despairing part. His body is completely immobile, and Murong Liu's spiritual sea is still enduring constant mental attacks, with no way to break free.
The longer this situation continues, the greater the impact on Murong Liu will be.
"We must find a way to resolve this problem as soon as possible!" Murong said resolutely.
Fortunately, at this moment, Murong Liu discovered that this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone was not so merciless after all.
If it discovers that the host is completely unable to withstand its power, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone will leave the host's sea of consciousness on their own. For Murong Liu, this can be considered a form of protection.
It's likely that the reason the Palace Master of the Star Palace was able to stand unharmed before him was due to the protective mechanism of the Heaven-Mending Fragment itself.
However, unless absolutely necessary, the Heaven-Mending Fragment would certainly not trigger this function, and Murong Liu himself would not make such a choice.
Murong Liu closed his eyes, trying his best to calm himself down. The only thing he could do now was to stay calm.
However, it's easier said than done. This is something inside the sea of spirit. Even if Murong Liu relaxes his body, it's difficult for him to relax inside the sea of spirit.
In particular, whenever Murong Liu felt he was about to relax, extremely vivid images would appear in his mind, constantly disturbing his thoughts.
This feeling was quite peculiar; at this moment, Murong Liu felt as if he could no longer see anything in front of him.
Because if the image is only transmitted through the eyes, Murong Liu can block it by closing his eyes.
However, this information was placed directly into the Sea of Spirit, and Murong Liu had no way to block it.
As time went by, Murong Liu's breathing became much heavier.
Unbeknownst to him, a trickle of bright red blood slowly flowed from Murong Liu's nostrils.
This is an extremely rare experience for a cultivator. As a cultivator, one's physical condition is different from that of ordinary people, and minor things like catching a cold, having a fever, or getting a nosebleed are unlikely to happen to him.
Murong Liu himself didn't even notice this change in his body. Of course, it was also because the pressure was too great that Murong Liu ignored the sensations in his body.
At the same time, because his body was unable to move, Murong Liu naturally had no way to perceive the changes in himself through his other senses.
Just as Murong Liu felt he was about to reach his limit and could no longer withstand the barrage of words, a pleasant voice suddenly rang in his ears.
At first, Murong Liu didn't even realize what the sound was.
"Tick-tock... tick-tock... tick-tock..."
Three full breaths passed before Murong Liu finally realized that it sounded like water droplets falling.
The instant Murong Liu realized the sound, the speed of the water flow seemed to increase and the flow lengthened considerably.
Although Murong Liu didn't know where the sound came from, he could clearly feel that his body felt much more comfortable than before.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Murong Liu began to consciously try to control the images in his sea of consciousness.
As time went by, Murong Liu discovered a special method: he constantly controlled his brain in accordance with the frequency of the water flow.
In this way, one can more easily control the countless images in one's mind.
Although things didn't go particularly smoothly at first, after a few incidents, Murong Liu gradually gained control. From occasionally controlling a few scenes at the beginning, he gradually increased the number of scenes, and Murong Liu's growth was visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, he could also feel that his control over mental power had become much stronger.
"Looks good!" Murong Liu was overjoyed.
In the end, Murong Liu successfully controlled all the images—an extremely vast number of images—and sent them all out of his sea of consciousness.
"Boom!"
Murong Liu felt a booming sound in his mind, and then countless images slowly unfolded, with a starry sky appearing before him.
The star flashed by, and soon Murong Liu opened his eyes. At the same time, he discovered that his previously restrained hands and feet could now move freely!
