Chapter 84 "Touch of Perception", Condensation of the "Spiritual Aperture"

Chapter 84 "Touch of Perception", Condensation of the "Spiritual Aperture"

"Touch of Perception"—the name might be a bit confusing at first glance, but its effect is quite simple, so simple that it can be summarized in one sentence: enhance "perception".

It can enhance his perception of energy, thereby clearly capturing the elements in the air, the soul power in the soul ring, and even the soul power fluctuations in other people's bodies.

Similarly, it allows him to perceive the taste of food and the ingredients of medicine more clearly; with just one sip, he can easily analyze its formula.

In fact, whether it's a soul tool, a soul guidance array, or a magical rune, he can easily perceive its internal structure with just a light touch, thus understanding everything perfectly.

As for himself, it means making him aware of everything about his own body.

This is not the kind of seeing through "seeing," but rather a more direct, personal experience.

Just like some things you can look at a hundred or a thousand times and still not understand, but if you try them yourself a few times, you can quickly grasp the tricks of the trade and understand the principles behind them.

"Touch of Perception" provides this hands-on experience.

This is the ability he specifically chose in order to condense the "spiritual aperture" and even for higher levels of cultivation later on.

The only problem is...

The "touch" in "touch of perception" refers to the touch of a tentacle.

Yes, those tentacles.

If someone had Jiang Ci'an's "X-ray vision" right now, they would be able to clearly see that transparent tentacles were covering every part of his body.

They do not react with other energies; rather, they are extensions of his will, enveloping his body and drawing all the information from his body into his brain.

Every slight tremor of flesh and blood, every hum of the soul bones, the direction and speed of the flow of every strand of soul power in the meridians—everything was within his perception under the tentacles' coverage.

Although the way it was presented was a little strange, Jiang Ci'an had to admit that this feeling of having everything under his control gave him a strong sense of confidence.

He took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and began to concentrate.

He sat cross-legged in meditation, and golden soul power slowly spread out around him, like a thin film of light enveloping his body.

The soul power that had been flowing freely through his meridians relinquished its freedom to wander and was instead drawn towards the "spiritual acupoints of the torso."

To converge.

The location is in the torso, slightly below the middle of the spine, between the two kidneys.

This is the optimal solution he arrived at after many trials and errors in the virtual world. Compared with other locations for condensing spiritual apertures, the torso spiritual aperture is located at the core of the body, which can distribute the power of the spiritual aperture to the whole body in the most balanced way, and also makes it easier to condense other spiritual apertures in the future.

Soon, his soul power, which far exceeded that of other soul power of the same level, began to compress layer by layer. The soul power easily transformed from its original gaseous state into a liquid state, and the golden light became even more intense. Then, the liquid soul power began to rotate, changing from a slow flow to an accelerating vortex.

The vortex spun faster and faster, becoming more and more solid, forming a tiny vacuum zone at the center of the spiritual acupoint on the torso. Thousands of fine light threads extended from the edge of the vortex and began to intertwine and entwine around the spiritual acupoint.

Having already tried it several times in the virtual world, Jiang Ci'an remained calm.

While drinking the mental potions and soul power supplements made by Elder Yi himself to recover his continuously depleted mental and soul power, he gradually guided the changes in soul power within his spiritual aperture.

Time passed second by second, and soon, within the spiritual acupoints of the torso, the vortex became more and more solid, the central vacuum zone sank inward, and thousands of fine light threads intertwined and wove into a complex net structure.

Finally, a ring-shaped cavity, about an inch in size and radiating brilliant golden light, completely condensed from the vacuum zone, forming the prototype of a spiritual aperture!

Just a second after his spiritual aperture was formed, his entire body's soul bones emitted a faint hum.

Two hundred and six ancient soul bones resonated at the same moment, as if it were a resonance at some energy level. The soul power that was originally scattered and wandering throughout the body was spontaneously absorbed, sealed, and then compressed by the spiritual aperture.

It was as if a messy room had suddenly been organized into perfect order. His soul power no longer needed his control, and everything became orderly. At the same time, the unabsorbable negative energy that had permeated the undead demiplane was devoured by his spiritual aperture without any discrimination. Then, in an instant, it was refined and purified inside the spiritual aperture, turning into pure energy that propelled the nascent spiritual aperture to continuously transform and become more and more complete.

Beside him, Electrolux, who was in charge of protecting the Dharma, watched all of this, his eyes reflecting the energy vortex that naturally formed around Jiang Ci'an.

He didn't speak, but simply raised his hand, and instantly, the roof of the laboratory opened.

The dark sky of the undead demiplane was exposed, and beneath it, a large number of undead creatures had gathered.

They were all strangely shaped and had different auras, but the only thing they had in common was that they all had a pair of eyes burning with eerie green flames.

Electrolux calmly cast his gaze, and instantly, those undead creatures, who were always loyal, chose to commit suicide without hesitation, pouring all their energy into the vortex of soul power surrounding Jiang Ci'an below.

Jiang Ci'an accepted all of this without question.

With the blessing of "Time Control," the refining speed of his spiritual aperture was accelerated to an extreme, and the absorption and transformation of energy...

Absorption is almost always completed in an instant.

With the continuous infusion of a large amount of energy, the spiritual aperture became increasingly powerful.

Watching Jiang Ci'an rapidly absorbing energy, Electrolux unconsciously nodded slightly, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

He knew that Jiang Ci'an's spiritual aperture had been completely and successfully formed.

The effects of "spiritual aperture" are numerous.

It possesses numerous abilities such as perpetual automatic mana regeneration, mana compression, skill cost reduction, mana wing transformation, and increased mana storage limit...

What Jiang Ci'an is demonstrating now is the effect of converting and absorbing the energy of the spiritual aperture.

Moreover, judging from this, even without using "Time Control," this kid's efficiency in converting his spiritual aperture to normal state is significantly higher than that of the original sixth-tier knight...

This is probably the combined effect of the 206 soul bones in his body and the spiritual apertures.

Although he had participated in many projects such as "self-condensed soul bones" and "spiritual aperture positions," he had to admit that this kid could always deepen his ideas and surpass his master.

Electrolux watched, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"...In that case, I can't fall behind the younger generation."

As he spoke, a spirit ring quietly appeared beside him.

This is a strange soul ring with a gray base, an inlaid gold ring, and intricate magical runes engraved on its surface, exuding an aura of deathly stillness and holiness.

He looked at the spirit ring, his gaze thoughtful for a moment.

Let's focus on completing the project to increase the age of the spirit rings for now. Judging from this kid's naming style, it should probably be called... "The Ring Fusion and Age Increase Method?"
