Chapter 3180 - 3179: Mental Power Level 49

Chapter 3180: Chapter 3179: Mental Power Level 49

Lin Dong looked at Artifact Spirit Little White, Little Black, and Little Five, as if an ’old father’ gazing at his own children.

He showed a hint of a ’benevolent’ smile, saying to the three of them: "Your growth is the growth of my overall strength."

"I have a vague sense that the future will not be peaceful, and something major will happen. So right now, enhancing strength is crucial."

After Lin Dong absorbed the ’Time Sand’ and obtained the first cultivation technique of the Way of Time, his perception of crises deepened significantly.

In the unseen realm, an invisible pressure followed him like a shadow, as if a massive storm was about to sweep through the Martial Arts World.

It allowed him to faintly perceive an unknown disaster approaching quietly, a warning from deep within his soul, making him dare not relax even a bit.

At the moment, he had only one thought in mind: continuously enhance strength, making himself strong enough to tackle all future challenges.

"Hoo~~~"

Lin Dong took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and retrieved a crystal stone emitting an eerie blood light from the Dragon Ring Space—Blood Soul Crystal Stone.

This Blood Soul Crystal Stone was merely the size of a fist, its surface covered in intricate patterns, resembling marks left by time, yet like some mysterious runes.

It contained a terrifying amount of spiritual power energy, which Lin Dong had obtained after slaughtering a 52nd rank Pixiu-shaped ghost beast in the Fire Well.

Lin Dong was well aware of the preciousness and power of this Blood Soul Crystal Stone, and at that moment he decided to refine it to further enhance his spiritual power.

The three artifact spirits seemed to understand Lin Dong’s intentions, and without needing his instructions, they instinctively dispersed to form a protective formation around him.

Little White danced gracefully in the air, vigilantly watching the surroundings. Little Black stood silently as a guardian, radiating a powerful pressure.

Little Five stood in front of Lin Dong, enlarging its body to transform into a shadowy furnace cauldron, shielding Lin Dong from potential dangers.

Lin Dong sat cross-legged, forming a seal gesture with his hands, placing the Blood Soul Crystal Stone in front of him.

As he operated the cultivation technique, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation emerged from within him, resonating with the energy on the Blood Soul Crystal Stone.

The blood light on the Blood Soul Crystal Stone grew more intense, with threads of scarlet energy slowly threading into the center of Lin Dong’s forehead like serpents.

Lin Dong felt a vast surge of spiritual power flooding into his Sea of Consciousness, the force powerful and tempestuous, akin to enormous nourishment.

He smiled, fully channeling his spiritual power, guiding this foreign force to circulate within his spiritual world.

The terrifying surge of spiritual power energy flooded into his Sea of Consciousness.

Such a massive influx of spiritual power also subjected his Sea of Consciousness and body to tremendous pressure.

Time passed second by second, Lin Dong’s complexion occasionally flushed, his spirit and soul slightly trembled, but these were minor issues.

Lin Dong swiftly adjusted and continued refining the spiritual power.

"Hoohoohoo~~~"

Finally, after enduring a long and painful refining process, the glow of the Blood Soul Crystal Stone gradually dimmed, and its spiritual power energy was wholly refined into the ’Black Lotus’ in his Sea of Consciousness.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the ninth petal of the fourth Black Lotus had fully bloomed, only one final step remained to complete the ’Perfect Black Lotus’.

"Very good, spiritual power has increased to the 49th stage. Just one more step to reach the 50th stage." Lin Dong murmured.

At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flickering in them, rejoicing at the stronger spiritual power within him.

His spiritual power successfully ascended from the previous thirty-eight and a half rank to the thirty-ninth rank.

But Lin Dong was not satisfied with this, he stood up and began attempting to fuse "spiritual power fire element" with the other three spiritual power elements—ice element, thunder element, and poison element.

He knew well that the fusion of four spiritual power elements would bring a qualitative leap, further boosting his strength.

He carefully manipulated the four spiritual power elements, guiding them to approach each other in his spiritual world.

Yet whenever they were about to merge, a strong repulsive force would explode, harshly separating them.

Lin Dong tried time and again, failing time and again, yet showed no trace of discouragement, rather his fighting spirit grew more vigorous.

He constantly adjusted his spiritual power, searching for the subtle balance point among the four elements.

Each failure granted him a deeper comprehension of these four elements.

Each attempt brought him closer to success.

However, the fusion of four spiritual power elements was far more difficult than he imagined.

The four elements seemed to possess their own wills, yielding none to the other, and no matter how hard Lin Dong tried, he couldn’t achieve a perfect fusion.

"I refuse to believe I can’t fuse these four elements!" Lin Dong gritted his teeth, his eyes shining with determined light.

But as he continued trying, he still met failure!

After countless failures, Lin Dong finally realized that the fusion of four spiritual power elements was not a task achievable overnight.

He took a deep breath, slowly calming his mood, casting his gaze toward the vast Fire Domain Heaven in the distance.

"Next up, continue hunting more ghost beasts, enhancing strength, striving to elevate spiritual power to the peak of 49th stage in this Fire Domain Heaven."

"And, see if it’s possible to fuse four spiritual power elements! Or gain enlightenment to my own fifth spiritual power element..."

Lin Dong muttered, his goals firm and clear.

The reason he set the spiritual power level target at the peak of 49th stage was that advancing to the 50th stage posed a huge bottleneck, not something simply achievable by absorbing ’Blood Soul Crystal Stone’.

The 50th stage was a stage countless spiritual power monks dreamt of through the ages, yet were challenging to attain, a difficulty Lin Dong was well aware of.

Even in the Sovereign Witch’s era, according to her knowledge, such a spiritual power monk never emerged.

For Lin Dong to accomplish what others had struggled for ages to achieve is overwhelmingly challenging.

But he showed no intention to back down, filled instead with fighting spirit.

He believed that with continuous effort and ongoing self-challenge, one day he would overcome this bottleneck and reach that legendary realm.

If heaven won’t allow, he’ll defy heaven!

Has Lin Dong done fewer against-the-heaven deeds?

Not afraid to add one more!

"Little Black, Little White, Little Five, let’s go, continue seeking the Fire Well, increasing strength together!" Lin Dong urged softly, transforming into an afterimage and swiftly moving forward.

Little Black, Little White, Little Five, all spiritedly followed behind him.

Follow the master, to ’feast’ together!
