Chapter 113: Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant

As his spiritual sense power surged, Jiang Xincheng also felt that under the effect of that blue-purple energy, his soul was growing at a speed barely visible to the naked eye. Bit by bit, it accumulated, like grains of sand forming a mountain. Unknowingly, Jiang Xincheng’s understanding ability became increasingly powerful.

In a daze, Jiang Xincheng sensed he had a deeper comprehension of the second layer of Devouring the Cosmos. He also grasped the third layer, feeling confident he could cultivate it.

The power of this Stone of Wisdom was truly stunning. It really was a supreme treasure, second only to the Mutated Yuan Crystal in Nanhai City.

Jiang Xincheng took a deep breath. As he exhaled, inside the divine sense maze, the wall blocking him from stepping into the General Realm Initial Stage suddenly crumbled. This allowed the vast spiritual sense power in his spirit sense sea to surge into broader, more distant spaces.

A terrifying compression force abruptly arrived. At a speed visible to the naked eye, it refined the spiritual sense power in Jiang Xincheng’s spirit sense sea, making it purer and more formidable.

The milky-white spiritual sense power, under this force, gradually transformed into a pale cyan. It took about two drops of milky-white spiritual sense power to condense into one drop of pale cyan spiritual sense power. This showed that, after stepping into the General Realm Initial Stage, Jiang Xincheng’s spiritual sense power became more than twice as pure as before.

Besides that, Jiang Xincheng’s spiritual sense was increasing at a very fast rate. Energy from all directions flowed into his spirit sense sea. Combined with the unusual power from the Stone of Wisdom, Jiang Xincheng’s spiritual sense began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everything around him vividly appeared “before” Jiang Xincheng’s eyes. He could clearly perceive all things within a 30-meter radius, with astonishing clarity.

The crawling little ants, the wild grass growing, the stone cracking under the wind… The feeling of having everything under his control intoxicated Jiang Xincheng.

Before this, Jiang Xincheng could only grasp everything within a few meters. But now his spiritual sense power had expanded to a 30-meter radius, and it was several times clearer than before. This meant Jiang Xincheng’s perception ability skyrocketed several times. He could detect enemies more easily, evade ambushes with greater ease, and control his body more simply.

Unseen, all of this boosted Jiang Xincheng’s combat power by several levels.

Moreover, as his spiritual sense grew stronger, Jiang Xincheng’s control over primordial force and his body became even more effortless. Naturally, this made alchemy several times easier.

If the difficulty of refining Yellow Cicada Elixir for Jiang Xincheng was 10 before, now it was only about 2. It became several times easier. Naturally, Jiang Xincheng could also use the Qingming Cauldron to refine stronger spiritual elixirs, such as third-level pills.

The expansion and strengthening of his spiritual sense brought Jiang Xincheng immense benefits. It greatly impacted the improvement of his strength, his combat power, and his alchemy skill.

With his entry into the General Realm Initial Stage, Jiang Xincheng’s overall strength increased a lot. In the entire Bone Training Realm, hardly any primordial warrior could be his match. At this moment, Jiang Xincheng absolutely deserved to be called invincible in the Bone Training Realm.

Right at this time, Jiang Xincheng sensed that at the center of his spirit sense sea, a wisp of white flame slowly appeared. It shimmered with a strange light, faintly showing endless scenes flickering within. It exuded a unique charm.

Soul Flame!

This was Jiang Xincheng’s very own Soul Flame. As his spiritual sense advanced to the General Realm Initial Stage, under the influence of vast spiritual sense power, Jiang Xincheng’s soul finally manifested in a substantial form. It was a white, nearly transparent, mysterious flame, containing all of Jiang Xincheng’s secrets.

Spiritual sense nurtures the soul. In fact, one could say that spiritual sense exists for the soul. Spiritual sense is also part of the soul. Once spiritual sense improves and expands, the soul naturally undergoes corresponding changes.

Higher-level spiritual sense power can nurture lower-level soul power. For example, when Jiang Xincheng’s spiritual sense power was at the Soldier Realm, the Soul Flame couldn’t even materialize. He could only faintly sense it at the core of his spirit sense sea.

But when Jiang Xincheng’s spiritual sense power advanced to the General Realm Initial Stage and transformed into pale cyan, the Soul Flame, under the influence of the powerful, refined spiritual sense, finally took on substance. It became a pale, transparent Soul Flame, holding all the secrets and stories of the practitioner.

Soul Flame—he had finally cultivated it to the point where it could be manifested externally. In his previous life, to reach this step, Jiang Xincheng spent over ten years and relied on the help of many pills. Only then did he manage to break through, reaching the General Realm Initial Stage with his soul. This made refining spiritual elixirs feel divinely assisted.

But now, Jiang Xincheng had it good. He had only been reborn for a few months, yet his spiritual sense realm had already risen to the General Realm Initial Stage. In this era of primordial force enlightenment, such a soul realm was generally only possible for primordial warriors at the Cloud Condensation Realm and above to achieve General Realm spiritual sense. Only among Rain Transformation Realm primordial warriors were practitioners with General Realm spiritual sense slightly more common.

Yet Jiang Xincheng was only at the Bone Forging Initial Stage now, and his spiritual sense realm had already reached the General Realm Initial Stage. This was decades earlier than in his later life, and the Soul Flame appeared over ten years ahead of time.

With the emergence of the Soul Flame, Jiang Xincheng’s control over his body and primordial force became even more precise. It also gave him a great advantage in alchemy. Combined with his General Realm spiritual sense, Jiang Xincheng now had some confidence that he could refine third-level spiritual elixirs.

Once his spiritual sense realm stabilized and he adapted to the General Realm spiritual sense and Soul Flame, Jiang Xincheng planned to start refining third-level spiritual elixirs. This would further enhance his strength.

By doing so, he could gain even greater power to take revenge on those who hurt him in his previous life. He could attain a higher position and authority in the Flourishing Tang Empire, ultimately taking control of it and possessing this Divine Artifact capable of defying the heavens.

Jiang Xincheng’s plan progressed steadily and swiftly. He grew faster and faster. If nothing unexpected happened, in this life he would quickly reach heights he never achieved in his previous life, eventually becoming a leader in the new era, dominating the entire world.

Living a second life, Jiang Xincheng’s desires and ambitions were greater and more astonishing than anyone else’s.

With his spiritual sense breaking through to the General Realm Initial Stage and the appearance of the Soul Flame at the center of his spiritual sense, Jiang Xincheng’s strength surged by a level. Moreover, as his spiritual sense improved and the Soul Flame emerged, many realizations arose in Jiang Xincheng’s mind during this process.

All the secrets of the second layer of Devouring the Cosmos… the cultivation method for the third layer of Devouring the Cosmos… and that even more powerful spiritual sense cultivation technique, Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant.
