Chapter Sixteen: Visualization

  Xiao Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his complexion became somewhat wilted. The mental image in his spiritual sea also dissipated at the same time.

  Xiao Fan opened his eyes, a bitter smile on his face. In the end, he still failed.

  "I'm really curious, who is the object of your observation? It's just a preliminary observation, but there's already such a strong fluctuation." The middle-aged man said to Xiao Fan.

  Xiao Fan heard this and sighed with a bitter smile: "This was just a strong person that the young master happened to see in an ancient book, unfortunately, he ultimately still failed."

  "You didn't have to be disappointed," said the middle-aged man. "Even if you succeeded this time, I would still wake you up."

  "Why?" Xiao Fan was puzzled.

  "You've just begun to enter the state of fantasy, and the power that has been quietly guiding you has already made this space unstable. If you continue, this space will be destroyed. This space is where the foundation of the Xiao family lies, and I won't let it be destroyed because of one person." The middle-aged man said.

  As he said, if Xiao Fan wasn't his own imagined failure, in the end, under duress, he would also stop Xiao Fan.

  Xiao Fan let out a soft sigh, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

  "Now that the space is unstable, it's no longer possible for you to cultivate here for three days. As compensation, I'll help treat your injuries caused by the backlash from your failed meditation." The middle-aged man said with a hint of contemplation, sensing Xiao Fan's disappointment.

  As he spoke, a middle-aged man's right hand grasped at the air, and a faint white glow appeared in the void, condensing into a ball in his hand.

  A middle-aged man let out a light hiss, and the white glow in his hand merged into Xiao Fan's body. In an instant, Xiao Fan's body trembled slightly, and the spiritual damage he had suffered from the backlash of his failed observation was instantly restored to its original state. Moreover, Xiao Fan could feel that his spiritual power had increased significantly.

  "Thank you, Old Ancestor." Xiao Fan bowed his head in gratitude.

  "No need to be polite, this is just a little compensation for you. Now that the space is unstable, you should leave first." The middle-aged man said as he waved his hand at Xiao Fan, and suddenly, Xiao Fan felt a dizzying sensation, his vision darkening, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the secret room of the Xiao family.

  "Second Master, you're back! How are you feeling?" Fu Bo looked at Xiao Fan with a concerned expression.

  Xiao Fan was still immersed in the thought of his failed audition, and after hearing Fu Bo's words, he forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Fu Bo, for your concern. I'm a bit tired, I'd like to go back and rest first. Would you mind taking me out?"

  "Alright, Second Master, let's go with Old Slave." Fu Bo originally wanted to ask clearly whether Xiao Fan had received the inheritance of the Xiao family or not. However, seeing that Xiao Fan did not want to say anything, he did not ask further and directly took Xiao Fan out of the secret room.

  Arriving outside the maze, Fubo once again used his magic to temporarily open a passage. The two quickly passed through, and the golden road disappeared from view once more. What appeared before them was still an ordinary-looking secret room.

  "I'll go back first."

  Xiao Fan didn't say much to Fu Bo and directly returned to his own small courtyard.

  "Hey there, young one! You seem to be in high spirits. How's it going?" Just as Xiao Fang had entered the courtyard, Bai Yu Wu Gui Lao Bai suddenly appeared before him with a smile.

  Upon seeing the white jade turtle, Old White, Xiao Fan's originally disheartened face suddenly revealed a smile. He turned to Old White and said: "It feels great, but this trivial Quan Ti peak realm is still too weak. What I want is to be like you, invincible and unmatched in the world."

  "Haha, you're finally teachable, kid. Your brain has finally opened up." Old White looked pleased with himself, seemingly very satisfied with Xiao Fan's words.

  "Old White, it's time for you to make good on your promise. Help me obtain the Sacred Body inheritance," Xiao Fan said to Old White, wanting to see if he really had a way to help him get the Sacred Body inheritance.

  "What's the hurry? The inheritance of the Holy Body is unparalleled, and in the entire Pangu Chaos Universe, there is only this one. Do you think it will be given to you so quickly?" Old White said with a smile.

  "Do you want to play dumb?" Xiao Fan was furious, and he had actually been deceived by this old turtle. He hated it so much that he wanted to slap it to death.

  "Don't get angry, don't get angry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Old White chuckled and said: "I did promise to help you find a way to obtain the Sacred Body's inheritance, but your spiritual power is too weak, unable to touch the Sacred Body's inheritance. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before you even see the inheritance, your body and spirit will have already perished."

  "Then you should find a way to enhance my spiritual power, so that I can reach the state of being able to accept the sacred body inheritance. This point, I suppose you won't regret it." Xiao Fan said, holding back his anger.

  "This is natural, and I, the White Jade Turtle, will not object." The White Jade Turtle said: "Spiritual power is the most intangible thing, and it is also the most difficult to cultivate. You want to cultivate spiritual power, but it's not easy. As for the method of cultivating spiritual power, I'll be honest with you, I don't have one either."

  Seeing Lao Bai's mischievous appearance, Xiao Fan was furious and couldn't bear it anymore, slapping a palm towards Lao Bai.

  "Hey, kid, don't be impatient." Xiao Fan patted Old White's back with a loud thud, but it didn't cause any pain to Old White. Old White chuckled and said: "Although this old turtle hasn't cultivated spiritual power techniques, I can make you rapidly increase your spiritual power in a short time."

  "What's going on?" Xiao Fan looked at the white jade turtle with a bad expression, and he finally understood the turtle's rascal nature.

  "Just melt the spiritual power of the two people inside you into one." Old White said hastily.

  "Although this body was not obtained by you through usurpation, but rather after the other party's soul fire went out and you took control of it, however, the spiritual power within this body itself has not dissipated, still existing unconsciously inside. As long as you merge your spiritual power with his original spiritual power, you will be able to greatly increase your own spiritual power."

  "No matter what, you must melt everything left in this body into one with you; if not, when you encounter a true master later on, the flaws between your soul and this flesh will be exposed."

  Xiao Fan's face changed greatly after hearing this, although he himself was not a usurper who obtained this flesh body, however, others did not care about themselves. If some powerful people discovered their own secrets, then what they would face would be endless trouble.

  "Alright, I'll trust you again. I hope you won't harm me." Xiao Fan had no choice but to believe Lao Bai, as in this world, only Lao Bai understood him the most. Moreover, Lao Bai, this mysterious turtle, seemed to understand everything. Now that Xiao Fan was growing up, he could only rely on Lao Bai.

  "Next you need to prepare some things, I can help you. Three months later, I will help you refine your spirit." Old White said.

  "Alright, I hope you won't disappoint me this time." Xiao Fan nodded.

  "Don't worry, you'll know the result in three months. My old man has never cheated anyone," said White Jade Turtle.

  "You're still not deceiving people." In the face of Lao Bai's self-loving words, Xiao Fan was speechless for a moment. However, since the other party was willing to help himself, Xiao Fan didn't want to argue either.

  After a commotion between the two, they each left. Xiao Fan had specially prepared a room for Lao Bai and even dismissed all the servants in his courtyard. However, Lao Bai often acted mysteriously and did not stay in the courtyard.

  Xiao Fan returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed, lost in thought.

  "Although this time's visualization failed, it wasn't a complete loss."

  Xiao Fan's eyes flickered with a strange color.

  "When I was contemplating the Tian Tian Jiao Zhu at that time, it had almost taken shape. Moreover, in the dark, there seemed to be a mysterious and great power descending upon me. The 'Intention Sword Body' gong fa did not mention this phenomenon, so I don't know why?"

  Xiao Fan whispered to himself: "After coming to this world, I found that my worldview was completely wrong. Maybe everything in myths and legends is real, which can be explained by Lao Bai."

  "If the myth of Tongtian is real, then I chose to use Tongtian as my object of meditation without mistake. During my meditation, the power that emerged from the void should be the manifestation of me communicating with the heavens or the emergence of Tongtian himself."

  At this moment, Xiao Fang's eyes had an extraordinary sparkle. Although today's observation was a failure, it gave him a deeper understanding of this world.

  "If I try again, I don't know if I can imagine it successfully."

  Xiao Fan jumped up and down, unable to hold back the curiosity in his heart. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate the first step of "Intention Sword Body", imagining Tong Tian Jiao Zhu.

  "Although it is extremely difficult to successfully visualize with Tongtian Jiao as the object of visualization, if one can succeed in visualizing and condense a visualization diagram within the spiritual sea of consciousness, then whether it be the speed of cultivating spiritual power or the prospects for cultivation in the future will all be bright."

  Xiao Fan followed the method of cultivation and once again began to visualize Tong Tian Jiao Zhu.

  Before long, in Xiao Fan's spiritual sea, a faint figure appeared, just like the previous time he had imagined. That person was as majestic as heaven and earth, with an endlessly powerful aura that made the surrounding void seem on the verge of collapse.

  As the vision became clearer, a mighty force descended once again from the void.

  This mysterious power emerged suddenly, silently and soundlessly, yet it caused a ripple in the void, distorting it as if it was about to shatter.

  "What is this kid doing?" At this time, Lao Bai appeared in Xiao Fan's room, looking at him in surprise.

  "What is this?" Old White sensed the sudden appearance of that powerful aura and suddenly became excited: "This is his breath, how is it possible?"

  "It's really too unbelievable, how could this kid possibly catch the attention of Tongtian Shengren? No way, can't let the people of this world discover all this."

  Although curious in his heart, Lao Bai reacted extremely quickly, and was only seen shouting loudly, opening his mouth to spit out a banner.

  A banner appeared in the void, lightly shaking, a mysterious halo spreading out, and then this void was calmed.

  This time, Xiao Fang concentrated on the observation chart, and the external space was stable. Moreover, Lao Bai fixed the void and guarded him by his side. It can be said that the conditions were superior, so could he concentrate successfully?
