Chapter 629 - 50: Heaven and Earth Are Born with Me, and All Things Are One with Me

Chapter 629: Chapter 50: Heaven and Earth Are Born with Me, and All Things Are One with Me

Mickey’s eyes widened.

’This... What is this?’

The middle-aged man, or rather, Rodrick, walked over to Mickey and whispered, "Do not disturb the master."

Mickey opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but a single look from Rodrick stopped him.

He could only stand there, staring blankly at the dark figure, at the Crimson sword, and at the writhing fragments that were continuously being absorbed.

...

Murphy’s hand pressed down on the mass of writhing nightmare creature remains.

The sensation was strange, like pressing into a viscous liquid, yet also like pressing into a current of air.

The fragments struggled and twisted beneath his palm, but they couldn’t break free.

[Large amount of nightmare substance detected. Absorb?]

"Absorb."

The thought crossed Murphy’s mind.

In the next instant, the nightmare substance surged madly into his body.

The substance, formed from the coalesced dream fragments of countless mortals, was being devoured, digested, and absorbed by the Spirit Root within him.

A long time ago, Murphy had already come to understand the nature of so-called "intuition" and "sixth sense."

They were nothing more than the faint perception by a person’s Spirit Root of the gravitational effects produced by unobservable matter.

This unobservable matter itself generates extremely faint gravitational waves.

When these waves resonate with certain external events, a vague perception forms on a subconscious level.

This is intuition.

Most mortals exist in a passive, vague, and unconscious state.

They can occasionally "foresee" certain things, but they can’t explain why, nor do they know how to make use of it.

But at certain special moments, when unobservable matter is violently disturbed by some event, the information it carries can be projected more strongly into the subconscious of a perceptive individual through the medium of gravity.

For those who possess a Spirit Root, this perception is more direct and easier to interpret.

And the higher their Cultivation, the stronger their ability to interpret it.

Therefore, all Cultivators, after reaching a certain realm, gain the ability of "premonition" or "sudden whim."

The higher their Cultivation, the more powerful this ability becomes.

The purpose of Nightmare Potion and Nightmare Pills is to amplify this ability. ℴ

They can amplify an ordinary person’s Spirit Root—the kind that is almost nonexistent, so faint it’s nearly imperceptible—to the point where it can sense the Source Sea.

As for those who already have a Spirit Root, they enhance its perceptive abilities, allowing one to more clearly interpret the information coming from the Source Sea.

This is the so-called "Source Sea resonance."

In essence, it is the Spirit Root’s further utilization of Spiritual Qi.

But Murphy’s situation was different.

He already possessed a Spirit Root sufficient for Cultivation.

More importantly, his Dao Transformation Level had already reached 110%.

That’s right, this Murphy had also completed the First Refining of the Profound Origin Nine Refinements Spirit Forging Chapter.

Deep within his consciousness, the silvery-white Mind Furnace was also operating silently.

It had become his Lifebound Magical Treasure, a part of his very body.

Furthermore, he wasn’t using Nightmare Potion or Nightmare Pills, but was directly absorbing unrefined nightmare substance.

Doing so was extremely unsafe.

However, it also allowed him to enter a peculiar state.

The nightmare substance surging into his body was deeply integrating with his Spirit Root.

The Spirit Root’s perceptive abilities were being infinitely amplified.

He felt his consciousness spreading outward, expanding to every corner of the room, to every detail of this dream fragment.

The Spiritual Qi that was originally inert in the New Realm and the Nightmare World now became active once more.

It was no longer difficult to mobilize as before. Instead, as if awakened, it flowed and gathered around him.

He could clearly sense the deeper flows of Spiritual Qi that were normally imperceptible.

The information from the Spiritual Qi, once blurry and indistinct, now became clear and discernible.

He could even faintly sense that deeper within this dream fragment, behind the layer of gray mist, more numerous and complex nightmare structures were slowly operating.

They were like countless overlapping phantoms, one layer enveloping another, endless.

It was an indescribable state.

Cultivators call it—

"Heaven and Earth are born with me, and the ten thousand things are one with me."

Also known as the "Unity of Heaven and Man."

[Profound Origin Nine Refinements Spirit Forging Chapter has been loaded]

[Current Refining Level: First Refining]

[Begin the second refining?]

"Yes."

Murphy didn’t hesitate.

The moment the word left his lips, he felt the silvery-white core deep in his consciousness flare to life.

The Mind Furnace activated.

The Mana flowing within his body and the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space began to converge madly upon the Mind Furnace.

[Second refining initiated]

[Loading core algorithm for Profound Origin Nine Refinements Spirit Forging Chapter...]

[Analyzing current integration level...]

[Optimizing refining path...]

In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Every second, his understanding of the Profound Origin Nine Refinements Spirit Forging Chapter deepened.

The once-obscure scriptures, the complex Dao Patterns, the profound principles of its operation—all became incomparably clear in his eyes.

He could see how they were constructed, how they operated, and how they interacted with his consciousness, his Spirit Root, and his Mind Furnace.

And as his understanding deepened, he was also making minute updates to the Mind Furnace’s algorithm for the Profound Origin Nine Refinements Spirit Forging Chapter.

One small update per second.

The algorithms grew more precise, more efficient, and better tailored to his specific condition.

Every minute, once those small updates had accumulated to a certain point, they would trigger a major update.

These major updates were often a complete restructuring of the entire algorithm.

A redesign from the base logic, like swapping in a whole new large-scale model.

This allowed the algorithm to better command the profundities of the Profound Origin Nine Refinements Spirit Forging Chapter.

Consequently, the Mind Furnace’s refining speed began to increase at a visible rate.

It was like a rolling snowball.

The deeper the understanding, the better the algorithm.

The better the algorithm, the faster the refining.

The faster the refining, the deeper the understanding.

It formed a perfect positive feedback loop.

Murphy could feel the connection between himself and the Mind Furnace growing ever tighter.

The Mind Furnace was becoming a deeper part of him.

A part of his perception and understanding.

And as this connection deepened, the Mind Furnace’s abilities were strengthening in sync.

Its speed and range for drawing in external Spiritual Qi grew ever faster and wider.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi, as if answering a summons, surged from all directions, scrambling to pour into the silvery-white core.

The refining speed grew faster and faster.

Finally, his Dao Transformation Level began to rise.

110.1%.

That 0.1% increase sharpened his perception by a fraction.

He could interpret the influx of Spiritual Qi more clearly, and more accurately discern its nature, origin, and flow path.

The information, already clear and discernible, now became even more detailed and rich.

Thus, his ability to interpret Spiritual Qi grew stronger.

The stronger his interpretative ability, the deeper his understanding of the Profound Origin Nine Refinements Spirit Forging Chapter became.

The deeper his understanding, the better the algorithm.

The better the algorithm, the faster the refining.

The faster the refining, the faster his Dao Transformation Level rose.

Another positive feedback loop was formed.

The two loops—one centered on the Mind Furnace, the other on his Dao Transformation Level—were now nested within each other, mutually propelling and reinforcing one another.

Murphy could feel the speed of his improvement accelerating.

110.2%.

This next increase, to 110.2%, brought a change even more pronounced than before.

His perceptive range expanded again, allowing him to touch upon the more distant and subtle flows of Spiritual Qi.

His interpretative ability grew stronger.

His understanding deepened.

The algorithm improved.

The refining hastened.

110.4%.

The increase to 110.4% allowed his perception to penetrate the room’s walls and touch the layer of gray mist outside.

He could feel the more chaotic nightmare substance contained within the mist and sense how it slowly flowed through this dream fragment.

110.7%.

The increase to 110.7% allowed his perception to reach the more complex nightmare structures deeper within the mist.

The phantoms, layered one over the other, now became clearer and more three-dimensional in his perception.

111.1%.

Every 0.1% jump made the nested feedback loop operate that much faster.

Then, the magnitude of the jumps began to increase.

111.6%.

112.3%.

113.0%.

...

Until—
