Chapter 154
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Feng opened his eyes.
“The time has finally come. It looks like the timer has run out,” he muttered.
There was a box in front of him that was blinking in red. On it was the message:
[Host will be transported to the training ground in: 00:00:00:05]
With every passing second, the box blinked once more. Liu Feng clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
“Time to go then.”
He closed his eyes, and could no longer see anything. He had disappeared from where he once stood.
He was transported in front of a majestic platform. That platform was raised with hundreds of steps in front of him. He took a quick glance at his surroundings.
“There must be a thousand steps here at the least!” he said with shock.
He knew that he had to climb this platform now because there was nothing else to do. He was in this enclosed space, and the only way to go was forward. Although the sky was still an option, all around him, walls were towering towards the inside.
They seemed like they were there to trap him here.
And on these steps, there were people. Even around him, there were people. But it looked like they were not people at all. They showed no expression, and their eyes seemed to lack life itself.
Liu Feng shook his head and tried to step onto the first step.
Bang!
He staggered back a few steps and stabilized himself.
“What the hell is this? There is some pressure that is not allowing me to go forward.”
Right as he said this, he heard one more sound. He looked at where it came from. Someone had dropped back down from the hundredth step and fell back to the ground.
“You damned mountain. I will surely get over you.” the man who fell to the ground got back up and started climbing again.
Liu Feng ran toward him to stop him, but it was like this person could not even hear him.
“This must be the training. The pressure that is stopping me from going forward, it must have something in it.” Liu Feng thought as he tried to go forward to the first step once more.
The pressure was still insurmountable, but Liu Feng resisted it. He ground his teeth and finally stood on the first step. The pressure was raining on him, so he had to stay still.
It was obvious that taking even one step forward would increase the pressure, and he would be kicked out of the thousand steps.
He looked at what the others on the stairs were doing. They were all sitting down, and were meditating for some reason.
“I knew it. There seems to be a secret that can only come from trying to comprehend the pressure itself. Once I do that, the pressure might decrease, and I might be able to go to the next step.” he laughed out loud.
But once he said this, he looked up above. There were still hundreds of steps that awaited him. This was going to be a long road here.
He sat on the ground and closed his eyes, letting the pressure waft over him. It felt uncomfortable at first, but after a while, the pain seemed addicting. This pressure seemed to stem for a power.
Crash!
Once again, Liu Feng heard a familiar sound beating in his mind.
“The spirit sea is acting again. This must be a secret that is related to the spirit!” Liu Man, who had been silent for a while now, said.
“The spirit sea. Just what is it? How can I even see through it?” Liu Feng asked. He had never even seen his own spirit sea. Until now, it had only been something that troubled him.
“It is in your Niwan Palace. Located in the temple. Look through it. Look inside.” Liu Man said mysteriously.
Liu Feng nodded, and he directed his attention inside his own body. Until now, he only ever looked at his dantian. With a golden core that was slowly accumulating Qi around it, it felt truly powerful. But now, Liu Feng looked higher up.
He tried to look into his own mind. But something seemed to stop him. It was a weak power, and he knew that he could break it easily. But this was the power that he himself had put in place. It was the mantra that Liu Man had told him to use when they first met.
“I can always use it again. I need to see what is within my own spirit sea.” he decided.
The weak power collapsed under the Qi that Liu Feng pushed forward. But the Qi stopped there. It did not dare move forward.
But there was a suction force that swallowed Liu Feng’s conscious. All of a sudden, he felt like he was inside a different place altogether.
He could see a golden sea, and he was in the middle of this sea. Standing on top of water, he felt like the god of this sea.
He looked around, and saw another familiar sight.
“The egg that I bought in the auction! Liu Man! You are here?” he asked with confusion.
“The moment that the spirit sea opened, I did not want to stay in your dantian any longer. It was taking too much space, and would affect your cultivation.” Liu Man said.
The voice came from the egg itself and it felt truly mysterious.
Then, Liu Feng looked at the waves around him. The sea was in turmoil, like there was a tsunami coming.
“Just what is making them so restless? This place feels like a part of me, and with it in such chaos, I feel like my head is splitting.” Liu Feng asked.
“You are in your own spirit sea. Look at yourself. That is your spirit. You are in here with your truest form. Not your body, and only your mind. Of course, you will feel pain when something happens here. That is why, you must force it to calm down. You are the master of your own spirit sea. Force it to stop! This noise has been irritating for me as well.” Liu Man said.
