The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2218: Changes in the Sea of ​​Consciousness

That ball of spiritual energy was like a greedy and mysterious beast, endlessly devouring the spiritual energy that continuously flowed into the sea of ​​consciousness.

It was like a deep and boundless bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual energy rushed in, it could not be filled. There was no sign of it wanting to stop absorbing at all.

At the same time, the jade box carrying the luck seemed to contain endless treasures, continuously releasing spiritual energy, as if this luck was really endless, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

In this wonderful and unknown process, time has lost its original meaning to Matthew.

At this moment, his entire world revolved around the mysterious round bead in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He discarded all external distractions and poured all his attention and mind into this round bead without reservation.

Matthew observed attentively and gradually discovered that after the ball expanded to a certain extent, its volume would no longer increase.

However, its desire for spiritual energy has not diminished in the slightest, and it continues to madly absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

However, as time went on, the amount of spiritual energy flowing into the sea of ​​consciousness increased explosively, at such a fast speed that the beads gradually became overwhelmed, and the speed of absorption could no longer keep up with the pace of the influx of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy that was not absorbed by the beads in time began to float aimlessly in the sea of ​​consciousness like a lost bird.

This is completely different from the scene when I first entered the sea of ​​consciousness.

At first, the spiritual energy disappeared instantly after entering the sea of ​​consciousness, like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving no trace.

But now, these spiritual energies not only did not dissipate, but instead settled down in the sea of ​​consciousness, continuing to float around, constantly looking for a new home.

During the floating process, some spiritual energy seemed to be pulled by some invisible force. After floating for a while, it slowly attached to the inner wall of the sea of ​​consciousness.

At first, there was only a few such spiritual energies, which seemed insignificant in the vast space of the sea of ​​consciousness.

But as time slowly passed, more and more spiritual energy joined this ranks.

They are like stars, gradually lighting up the inner wall of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Gradually, a continuous light began to appear within the sea of ​​consciousness.

At first, the light was very weak and could only illuminate a small area of ​​the sea of ​​consciousness, like a ray of light before dawn, looming.

But as time went on, more and more spiritual energy attached to the inner wall of the sea of ​​consciousness, and more and more places were lit up.

The light was like a dazzling galaxy, constantly spreading and diffusing in the sea of ​​consciousness.

This wonderful change within his sea of ​​consciousness gave Matthew an extremely real and substantial feeling.

He clearly felt that his thoughts were as if blown by a breeze, becoming clearer than ever before.

Those things that were once tangled and confusing in my mind, when I think about them again at this moment, it is as if there is a bright light guiding me, and everything becomes clear.

Matthew's thinking became more and more agile, and the bottlenecks he encountered in the past practice and those difficult problems that he had been unable to solve were now easily solved.

He began to re-examine the skills he had learned and discovered that some of the details that had once been overlooked now seemed to contain great mysteries.

His understanding of the exercises reached a whole new level. Every move and every step of circulating the Qi in the body became clear in his mind, as if they were given new vitality.

He recalled the various difficulties he had encountered during his cultivation. Those stagnations in his cultivation due to his lack of understanding of the exercises were no longer a problem.

He was like a traveler who had been groping in the dark for a long time and suddenly found the direction of light.

This clarity and breadth of thinking enabled him to take a big step forward on the path of spiritual practice.

Not only that, Matthew's perception ability has also been greatly improved.

He was able to perceive subtle changes in the surrounding environment more keenly, and could clearly sense even the slightest breeze or the falling of a leaf.

This is an ability that appears without using spiritual consciousness, and it has never existed before.

He also reached a new level of control over himself. Every part of his body seemed to be telling him about their status. He could accurately mobilize every strength of his body, making his practice more efficient.

Matthew was completely immersed in the miraculous changes in himself. At the same time, the light in his sea of ​​consciousness became more and more numerous like the stars in a summer night.

Every time a new light appeared, Matthew's heart was like being gently touched by a spark of wisdom, and then a new understanding emerged.

Some of these insights were about the subtle application of cultivation techniques, and some involved a deep understanding of the laws governing the circulation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They were like bright stars, illuminating the once dark corners on his path of cultivation.

However, the good times did not last long, and new problems emerged quietly like shadows lurking in the dark.

Matthew was horrified to discover that these hard-earned insights could not remain in his mind for long.

They were like vague dreams, beautiful but illusory. When new insights came like the tide, the previous insights were like traces on the beach after the tide receded, gradually becoming blurred and dim until they disappeared. In the end, he could hardly capture even the slightest impression.

At first, immersed in the constantly emerging insights, Matthew was filled with excitement and surprise, as if he had already stood at the pinnacle of practice and was about to glimpse the supreme mystery.

But as his insights faded, he gradually calmed down from his initial excitement, and a deep anxiety and uneasiness spread in his heart.

He knew very well that if he allowed this situation to continue, all his efforts would be in vain, just like chasing after an illusion in a dream, with nothing to be found when he woke up.

In order to change this situation, Matthew decided to give it a try.

He began to try various methods to try to preserve those precious insights.

He closed his eyes tightly, concentrated all his mental energy, and tried to imprint every bit of his perception deeply into the depths of his soul.

He sorted out those insights over and over in his mind, like weaving a tight net, hoping to capture these fleeting fragments of wisdom.

Matthew also tried to connect his insights with things and scenes that he was familiar with, trying to use these daily memory anchors to let the insights take root in his mind.

In addition, he tried to integrate the insights into the body's instinctive memory.

He constantly practiced the technique, incorporating every new realization into the practice process, hoping that through repeated physical practice, these realizations would become a part of his body and would never be forgotten.
