"Reconstruct my Sea of Consciousness?"
When Shi Feng saw the system interface, shock and astonishment filled his eyes.
He was no stranger to the concept of reconstructing one's Sea of Consciousness. In fact, he had heard of it before.
This was also why he found it so hard to believe.
To put it simply, the Sea of Consciousness was a player's soul. Any Tier 5 player that wished to get promoted to Tier 6 had to overcome a certain hurdle.
That hurdle was a qualitative transformation of the soul!
Any player that wished to get promoted to Tier 6 not only needed a powerful body, but also a powerful soul. Only when both conditions met would one be promoted to Tier 6.
Among the two conditions, obtaining a powerful soul was the most difficult. After all, the soul was intangible. The only thing players could do was continuously improve their Concentration standard. By doing so, their soul would naturally grow stronger as well.
However, this method of improvement was simply too slow. After all, even if one's Concentration standard reached the Tier 5 Peak standard, the improvement of their soul wouldn't be very fast. If one wished to achieve a qualitative transformation of their soul, they would have to go through a lot of mental tempering.
Of course, there was also a faster method, and that was reaching the Tier 6 Concentration standard!
With such a frightening Concentration standard, one could even continuously improve their Sea of Consciousness with their own willpower. Tier 5 Concentration simply couldn't compare to it.
In addition, there was a third method in God's Domain, which was to use external objects to shatter one's Sea of Consciousness and reconstruct it. This method was very similar to reaching the Tier 6 Concentration standard. However, it was much more violent and thorough.
This was because this method of reconstructing one's Sea of Consciousness was akin to reconstructing one's Sea of Consciousness in a chaotic manner.
For Tier 5 apex experts, such an opportunity could only be found by chance.
Shifeng had never thought that he would encounter such an opportunity before he had even reached Tier 5.
After a moment of silence, Shifeng chose to accept the World Blessing and reconstruct his Sea of Consciousness without hesitation.
System: The World Blessing will activate in 30 seconds. Please be prepared. The higher your Completion Rate, the more effective the reconstruction of your Sea of Consciousness will be.
The higher my Completion Rate, the better?
Shifeng did not dare to be careless. He took a deep breath and only used some of his mental strength to stabilize the broken bridge. He did not attempt to reconstruct the broken bridge and planned to fully accept the world's blessings.
When the 30 seconds were up, Shifeng felt as if his soul was being torn apart. If not for the tempering of a Tier 4 Mysterious Flame, he wouldn't have been able to endure such pain.
However, after a dozen or so seconds, the pain disappeared. He even felt his mind go blank, and the only thing left in his mind were the countless fragments of his soul.
Following which, Shifeng saw a series of magic arrays that borrowed the elements of Mana to construct. These magic arrays were extremely complex, and even a Half-step Grandmaster Magician like Shifeng was shocked.
He recognized over a dozen Grandmaster Magic Arrays and over a hundred Master Magic Arrays. These Magic Arrays formed a massive Soul Magic Array.
System: You have four hours of channeling time. After four hours, the World Blessing will end. If you fail to achieve a 40% Completion Rate, your Sea of Consciousness will not be reconstructed. Afterward, your soul will be shattered and you will enter a Weakened Soul state for 20 natural days.
"Twenty natural days?"
Shifeng was not surprised by the penalty for failing to complete the World Blessing. After all, God's Domain was a place where opportunity and risk coexisted. On the contrary, a penalty of 20 natural days was very small.
If the Tier 5 apex experts of his previous life found out about this, they would've most likely fought to the death to obtain the World Blessing.
Following which, Shifeng stopped thinking about anything else and focused on drawing the magic array in his Sea of Consciousness.
At this moment, Shifeng did not know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
He was lucky because he had been in a special space filled with Eternal Energy when he received the World Blessing. This space would be of great help to him in drawing the magic array. Unfortunately, he was unable to stabilize the broken bridge because his mind was no longer in control of his body.
In other words, he did not have four hours to complete the Soul Magic Array.
However, despite his frustration, the Eternal Energy's effects allowed him to draw a Master Magic Array with ease. Even though he hadn't studied the magic array in detail, he was familiar with it as if he had seen it many times. Hence, he could draw the magic array in one go.
For a time, the Soul Magic Array's Completion Rate increased at a rate visible to the naked eye.
1% … 3% … 7% …
In less than an hour, Shi Feng had already completed 16% of the massive Soul Magic Array. Based on Shi Feng's estimation, he could complete 40% of the Soul Magic Array in four hours. Even if he had to draw more Grandmaster Magic Arrays, which slowed down his progress significantly, reaching 40% wouldn't be difficult.
In less than an hour and a half, Shifeng had reached 35% of the Soul Magic Array's Completion Rate. His progress was so fast that he could hardly believe his eyes.
Just as Shifeng completed his first Grandmaster Magic Array, the Soul Magic Array's Completion Rate jumped from 35% to 38%.
It improved by so much? Shifeng was surprised when he glanced at the Soul Magic Array's Completion Rate.
Previously, when he had completed a Master Magic Array, the Soul Magic Array's Completion Rate hadn't even increased by 0.5%. Now, after completing a Grandmaster Magic Array, the Soul Magic Array's Completion Rate had increased by nearly 3%. Moreover, due to the Eternal Energy's effects, the Grandmaster Magic Array's Completion Rate was not much slower than the Master Magic Array's.
Without me stabilizing the Broken Bridge, it will last for three hours at most. Now that I have less than 20 minutes left, it seems I have no choice but to try to draw another Grandmaster Magic Array.
Although Shifeng had guessed that the Broken Bridge could last for three hours, that was only a guess. As a safety precaution, one Grandmaster Magic Array was his limit.
Although the Soul Magic Array was massive, the dozen or so Grandmaster Magic Arrays were still the most important part. This was especially true for the six core Grandmaster Magic Arrays.
Originally, Shifeng had planned to draw more Master Magic Arrays around the Broken Bridge. That way, the Grandmaster Magic Array at the core would be even more effective. However, it was obvious that time did not allow him to do so.
Now, he could only grit his teeth and draw the second core Grandmaster Magic Array.
Ten minutes later, Shifeng finally completed the second core Grandmaster Magic Array.
Immediately, the Soul Magic Array's Completion Rate rose from 38% to 41%. At this point, he had reached the required Completion Rate.
Following which, Shifeng chose to complete the Soul Magic Array.
System: Soul Magic Array Completion Rate 41%. You have completed the basic requirement. Your Sea of Consciousness will begin to reform according to the constructed Soul Magic Array. Do you wish to begin the reform?
"Reform!"
Shifeng did not hesitate. Although he still had over an hour, if he died halfway through, the reconstruction of his Sea of Consciousness would become a joke.
After Shifeng made his choice, the Soul Magic Array engraved deep within his soul began to operate.
Although the magic array wasn't complete, as the system had said, the Soul Magic Array could still operate, albeit barely.
Along with the reconstruction of his Sea of Consciousness, Shifeng's mind felt unprecedentedly refreshed. Whether it was the activity of his thoughts or his mental reaction speed, they were clearly much faster than before.
After maintaining this state for over 20 seconds, Shi Feng discovered that, at some point in time, his Sea of Consciousness had transformed from a blurry, illusory state to a much more solid state.
This solidification felt as if his Sea of Consciousness had transformed from a mist into a liquid state.
Although the change seemed minor, the density of his Sea of Consciousness had undergone a qualitative transformation.
Although his Sea of Consciousness was still illusory, Shifeng could clearly feel that his thinking speed had increased by more than three times. As long as he focused, the time around him seemed to slow down by three times.
"Too strong!" Shifeng was astonished when he saw his newly reconstructed Sea of Consciousness. Could it be that those Tier 5 experts in the past were so crazy about reconstructing their Sea of Consciousness? With such a solid Sea of Consciousness, even if my Concentration is only at the Tier 5 Basic Concentration standard, my soul's improvement speed is probably even faster than a Tier 5 Peak expert's.
Although his Concentration standard was indeed still at the Tier 5 Basic Concentration standard, the strength of his soul far surpassed that of Tier 5 Peak experts.
When Shifeng opened his eyes once more, everything around him had changed.
His mental perception range had increased from 100 yards to over 500 yards. His five senses had also undergone a qualitative transformation. His body also felt unprecedentedly nimble and sharp.
Even the broken bridge, which was less than two meters long, had almost stabilized without Shi Feng's effort to maintain it.
Moreover, his previously weakened Concentration had become unprecedentedly vigorous.
It seems I won't have any problems clearing the trial with this. Shifeng could not help but chuckle when he saw the broken bridge in a semi-stable state.
In the past, he had had to deliberately maintain the broken bridge to prevent it from collapsing. Doing so had cost him a lot of effort. Now, however, he no longer needed to maintain the bridge. He only needed to focus on reconstructing the broken bridge. Doing so would significantly reduce the stimulation to his mind.
Following which, Shifeng resumed his work on the bridge. However, this time, he had a much easier time constructing the bridge. As a result, Shifeng's progress was practically flying.
In less than three days, Shifeng had already completed one-third of the journey.
However, Shifeng had no intention of stopping. After all, the Eternal Energy in this special space was simply too good. Here, not only could he further deepen his understanding of Mana, but he could also familiarize himself with his Sea of Consciousness. From time to time, he could also test out his idea of a Mana Body.
Hence, Shifeng was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he continued onward.
Meanwhile, as Shifeng approached the blurry land, he gradually realized that he needed to reconstruct the broken bridge with greater precision. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to maintain the bridge in this dark space.
After walking for another four days, Shi Feng discovered that he could no longer walk even half the way to the Stone Forest.
His inability to walk wasn't due to a lack of mental fortitude. Rather, it was due to the fact that the bridge's various Mana elements could no longer support him. If he couldn't improve the bridge's quality, he wouldn't be able to stand on it.
"It seems this is as far as I can go."
Shifeng inwardly lamented as he looked at the land in the distance that had become clearer.
He could sense that, as long as he could reach that land, it would be of great help to him. However, it was clearly impossible for him to improve the bridge's quality with his current strength. Even if he had to spend another month or two, the outcome would still be the same.
Following which, Shifeng chose to exit this special space.
