I Can Devour Spirits

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Entering the Consciousness Sea Again

Once Duan Rong entered the sea of consciousness, he first looked up at the sky!

Above the dome, the infant light shadow was wrapped in a cocoon layer as thin as a cicada’s wing, like sleeping in a womb, suspended in the sky, emitting a milky white glow!

Duan Rong looked at the infant light shadow, his gaze as pure and bright as a pilgrim’s...

Duan Rong looked at the infant light sphere for a while, then, with a thought, shifted his gaze to the southeastern sky...

In that part of the sky, there hung a remnant of the weapon he had devoured!

Duan Rong searched for a long time but could not find the Mo Saber he had devoured in the Martial Arts Arena before entering the sea of consciousness!

”Could it be...”

The sky was as clear as glass, without a single thing hidden, and under the glow of the infant light shadow, it appeared even more transparent!

”If it’s not on the sky, perhaps... it’s on the ground!” Duan Rong’s gaze grew determined.

After all, those undigested Tree Spirits were all rooted in the black earth...

Duan Rong circled around the center of the black earth, searching with his eyes, and indeed, he found it!

Right there on the ground beneath the southeastern sky’s weapon remnant, a Mo Saber was inserted!

It wasn’t a remnant but a solid-looking Mo Saber!

Even more intriguing, the Mo Saber was exuding a thick mist like black smoke...

The mist was emitted from all over the Mo Saber’s blade, steaming up, almost enveloping the entire saber...

The thick mist, once released, merged with the floating thin mist in this space, blending in and rolling continuously...

”What is this?”

The state of the weapon spirit in the sea of consciousness clearly exceeded Duan Rong’s expectations.

Duan Rong’s heart jolted; he suddenly thought of something, reached out, and grabbed at the rolling mist before him!

How could one grasp the intangible mist?

His palm, naturally empty...

Duan Rong blankly stared at his palm, his mind suddenly enlightened, he turned his head, looking toward the Tree Spirit Light Sea in the southwest of the black earth!

From this position, through the rolling thin mist, the blue light sea formed by the strands of blue light was only vaguely discernible...

The Tree Spirit emitted blue light strands, whereas the Mo Saber’s artifact spirit emitted the mist, which was the kind of thin mist filling this space...

They were fundamentally different!

The thin mist surging in this world was essentially his own thoughts...

The process of digesting the devoured weapon spirits was transforming the artifact spirits into mist, merging into his thoughts...

However, the light strings of the Tree Spirit were another type of existence!

They seemed to be some fundamental energy body constructing this space!

Thinking so, Duan Rong looked up at the sky at the infant light shadow emitting white glow!

This infant light shadow and the Tree Spirit’s light strings should be derived from the same source!

Because of this, the infant light shadow could absorb the Tree Spirit’s light strings!

Duan Rong also thought, the original cultivation method of the Fetal Concealment Scripture was actually to draw out light strings from this world’s floating mist by using the silhouettes of the Four Great Kings!

In other words, the cultivation approach of the Fetal Concealment Scripture was actually to extract the energy light strings that could enhance spiritual power by comprehending the thoughts of all things in the world!

Duan Rong’s gaze suddenly became profound and yearning!

Because he realized that the Fetal Concealment Scripture was incredibly mysterious!

And human spiritual power is essentially an external manifestation of the sea of consciousness, which is a fundamental talent!

And this sea of consciousness foundation originally had no possibility of enhancement!

The sea of consciousness is vast and mighty, profound and boundless, and the hidden Power of Origin behind it is definitely not something human power can shake!

Yet, although the cultivation of the Fetal Concealment Scripture is slow, it indeed leveraged this Power of Origin!

At this moment, Duan Rong could understand even more deeply, how arduous it is to enhance spiritual power, and how heaven-defying the opportunity he obtained was!

Who exactly created such a divine Fetal Concealment Scripture?

And the four towering Great Kings, what kind of deities are they?

Duan Rong suddenly realized that the Nine Provinces World is not as simple as it appears on the surface; in reality, there are many hidden secrets that ordinary people can hardly access!

If it weren’t for the serendipitous opportunity to obtain the Fetal Concealment Scripture, he would not have had the chance to understand these things, not even the county master like Shen Yanliu has the qualification!

Maybe, the Nine Provinces World is far deeper and more terrifying than what it currently shows Duan Rong!

After all, Xianggu County is just a remote small county, with isolated information and scarce resources.

He had to go out!

Through the cultivation of the Fetal Concealment Scripture, the curtain of the Nine Provinces World finally revealed a corner to Duan Rong...

For the first time, Duan Rong felt a surge of ambition to explore the Nine Provinces World!

The core of the world’s secrets is held by the sects!

Next year is the opportunity for the Taiyi Sect’s triennial recruitment of disciples!

If he can find a way to obtain a spot to participate in the assessment, he will have the chance to become a registered disciple!

Currently, Duan Rong possesses the two major advantages of Fetal Concealment Scripture and Devouring Artifact Spirit, undeniably making him an extraordinary talent!

He is quite confident in becoming a registered disciple; the key is how to secure a spot!

This matter must be planned early, with preparations made sooner. Any opportunity to investigate should be seized!

After contemplating, Duan Rong gathered his thoughts and prepared to cultivate the Fetal Concealment Scripture!

In between heaven and earth, he sat cross-legged, his five hearts pointing towards the sky!

He held a spell and formed a hand seal!

With Duan Rong rapidly forming hand seals, he muttered words under his breath!

Peals of muffled thunder rolled across the sky!

The thin swirling mist suddenly paused, and like silt in water, it rapidly settled at a visible speed!

A few breaths later, a layer of thick, gray-white mist covered the black earth!

Duan Rong sat cross-legged in the dense mist, his brows furrowed, his hands rapidly changing in front of his chest, with increasingly complex and arcane hand seals...

Suddenly, four gigantic divine shadows, standing tall to the heavens, slowly emerged from the unreal to the real!

The Four Great Kings appeared once more in the Sea of Consciousness!

The instant the divine shadows of the Four Great Kings solidified, the baby light shadow above the sky seemed summoned, and fluctuated rhythmically...

Duan Rong’s lips moved swiftly, murmuring spells...

The four divine statues, with fierce faces, suddenly brightened their divine eyes, sweeping divine light, then opened wide mouths and began to devour the settling mist...

As the mist settled, the floating cyan light threads between heaven and earth suddenly seemed attracted, converging towards the baby light shadow in the sky...

Simultaneously, the Tree Spirit Light Sea in the southwest direction on the black earth also fluctuated, with strands of cyan glow floating up like a school of fish, rushing toward the sky...

Duan Rong sat cross-legged there, sensing waves of joy from that baby in the sky...

Countless light threads accumulated around the baby wrapped in a thin, cicada-wing-like light cocoon...

The light threads turned into layers of light cocoons, wrapping the baby layer by layer...

Duan Rong sat there, observing the change of the light cocoon...

At first, the baby’s vague light shadow could still be seen...

But gradually, the baby was no longer visible...

Only a mass of milky white light cocoon remained...

Initially, it was shaped like a seed nucleus with pointed ends and a raised middle, slowly accumulating into a sphere...

And it kept growing larger...

It’s unclear how long it took, but suddenly, the cyan glow of the Tree Spirit Light Sea stopped floating...

Nearly simultaneously, the mouths of the four divine statues ceased devouring the gray-white mist...

Everything came to a halt, heaven and earth fell silent...

Only the enormous light mass in the sky emitted a milky white fluorescence...

”What is this... what happened?”

”...stopped?”

The next moment, Duan Rong felt a stirring in his heart. ”The First Layer of the Fetal Concealment Scripture has been achieved!”

Duan Rong stood up excitedly, looking up at the enormous light mass in the sky; he felt like a devout believer standing on an altar, gazing reverently at the deity...

The gigantic light mass suspended like a star body there...

Yes, a star body!

A spherical star body emitting milky-white fluorescence, hovering in his Sea of Consciousness!

Duan Rong tried to sense the baby hidden within the star body, but it seemed deeply asleep with no consciousness waves...

It was as though the baby awakened its consciousness merely to devour the light threads and form this star body!

Once its task was completed, it fell into a deep sleep, akin to being in the womb...
