Li Yuan's spiritual power was constantly breaking through and transforming, while nearby, Liu Jing also swallowed the Soul Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit.

  The spiritual power of both is soaring.

  Li Yuan's consciousness was always clear, feeling the transformation of spiritual power, in less than half an hour.

  "【Your mental power has been upgraded from 28.9 to 29.0】"

  "【Your mental strength has reached level 29, spiritual awakening upper limit increased by 35%】" Two consecutive prompts flashed by.

  Li Yuan's divine palace panel also underwent corresponding changes.

  "Huh?"

  "As expected, just like I thought before, every time the divine palace is broken, in order to further improve the upper limit of spiritual awakening, one must first enhance their mental power." Li Yuan said to himself.

  Li Yuan can also understand this.

  The Temple of the Mind originates from the Spiritual Temple, and the Spiritual Temple is located within the Spiritual Realm.

  The stronger the spiritual power and the greater the spiritual world, the more abilities of the spiritual palace can be tapped, which is natural.

  "However."

  "I thought that reaching Spiritual Power level 26 would increase the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening." Li Yuan sighed: "I didn't expect that it wasn't until Spiritual Power reached level 29 that the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening was raised to 35%."

  "What a pity."

  "Every time I reach the limit of spiritual awakening, killing alien tribes can't get spiritual nourishment." Li Yuan muttered to himself: "Wasting a lot of spiritual nourishment."

  Otherwise, the large number of flying snakes killed by Guang Liyuan in Fei She Valley can now directly accumulate the degree of spiritual awakening to 35%.

  But Li Yuan was not in a hurry.

  Even if it's raised to 35%, for the time being, there's no way to infuse spiritual energy into the body, and the second Spiritual Guidance is still far away.

  "Spirit."

  "Heavens!"

  "As expected, the stronger one's spiritual power is, the clearer one can sense the subtleties of heaven and earth." Li Yuan silently felt the many benefits and changes brought about by his increased spiritual power.

  I'm fully conscious.

  Ideas turn over faster.

  The most important thing is that the subtle sensations of the body are easier to feel, and the external world's heaven and earth are clearer... It is also much easier to capture the mysterious vibrations between heaven and earth than in the past.

  "No wonder many Yuanwu practitioners can only barely master the fourth-level technique after decades of hard training." Li Yuan's thoughts surfaced: "Later, they coincidentally obtained some spiritual objects and treasures, which transformed their mental power, and ultimately became top-notch Yuanwu practitioners."

  Life is full of strange coincidences.

  Insight is even more difficult to grasp.

  Undoubtedly, mental power is like an amplifier that can amplify a person's innate wisdom several times.

  Splash!

  The power transformed from the Soul-Stirring Ancient Fruit is still frantically transforming within Li Yuan's body.

  Constantly enhancing Li Yuan's spiritual power.

  "【Your spiritual power has been upgraded from level 29.0 to 29.1】" Another divine palace prompt flashed by.

  ……

  Time flies, and nearly two hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

  "Spiritual power has reached level 29.7." Li Yuan glanced at the Spirit Palace panel.

  Already very close to second-order limit.

  "Since breaking through to level 29, the speed of spiritual power growth hasn't slowed down at all, but the rate of spiritual power level increase has been getting slower and slower." Li Yuan noticed this: "Moreover, as time passes, the effect of the Spirit Fruit is rapidly decreasing."

  The further one goes in their practice, the greater the gap between each level becomes.

  Secondly, like the Soul Ancient Spirit Fruit, the first one had an excellent effect, but the second one's effect was much smaller.

  "The spiritual power has been upgraded from 29.1 level to 29.2 level... I'm afraid the gap is even bigger than that of 28.7 level to 29 level." Li Yuan thought to himself.

  Roughly estimating the remaining spiritual energy of the ancient soul fruit medicine.

  Li Yuan understood that his mental strength was indeed not enough to break through the 30th level today.

  But Li Yuan was more than satisfied.

  "I didn't know the gap between spiritual power levels 29 would be so large." Li Yuan thought to himself, "If I hadn't had the Soul Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit, with normal cultivation and visualization techniques, it would have taken at least a year to raise my spiritual power from level 28.4 to 29.9."

  One Soul-Infused Ancient Spirit Fruit, worth one year of time?

  Worth it!

  In fact, Li Yuan spent a year cultivating his observational skills, and even for many ordinary Yuan Wu practitioners, it would be difficult to achieve such a transformation in their lifetime.

  ……

  Before I knew it, almost an hour had passed.

  "Ah!"

  Liu Jing, who had taken the Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit a step earlier, slowly opened his eyes. His aged face seemed to have become much younger, and his eyes became brighter, revealing a hint of a smile: "The Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit truly lives up to its name, its effect is far more powerful than what's recorded in the database."

  "Just one."

  "My spiritual power has increased by six or seven times, and I estimate that it's not bad even among top-level Yuanwu practitioners." Liu Jing thought to himself.

  He gently closed his eyes.

  His heart stirred and responded throughout his body. Previously, due to his weak spiritual power and having just broken through to the Micro Realm, he felt countless fine energies vaguely.

  But now it's easy to feel every bit of energy throughout the body.

  That's the benefit of having strong spiritual power.

  "Reach level 27 in 10 years?"

  "Now, give me ten years and I absolutely have hope of reaching level 28." Liu Jing secretly made up his mind, looking back on the past two days.

  Originally, they were just planning to come and protect Li Yuan.

  What's the result? First, a fierce battle with several second-order flying snakes, then a narrow escape from death, a breakthrough in skills, and finally, obtaining the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit.

  It's a turn for the better.

  "Li Yuan, truly a lucky star for me." Liu Jing subconsciously looked towards Li Yuan.

  He had a very good impression of Li Yuan.

  "Li Yuan's skills are strong, but he is still only a first-tier life form, and his spiritual power is probably not as good as mine." Liu Jing thought to himself: "With this Soul Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit, his spiritual power will likely transform to near the level of a Source Martial Artist...and his cultivation speed will also increase greatly."

  "It's really a peerless demon." Liu Jing silently adjusted his breath.

  ……

  When Liu Jing finished his cultivation.

  "【Your mental strength has been upgraded from 29.8 to 29.9】" The divine palace prompt flashed by.

  After three hours of cultivation, Li Yuan's spiritual power finally broke through to 29.9 levels with great difficulty.

  At this moment, Li Yuan could clearly feel that the medicinal effect of the Ancient Soul Fruit in his body had almost been exhausted.

  "It seems that in order to reach a spiritual level of flight, it will take some time." Li Yuan thought to himself.

  But just at this moment.

  "Rumble..." In Li Yuan's spiritual world, in the Spiritual Temple, a burst of rumbling sounds suddenly exploded, causing Li Yuan's mind to ache instantly.

  Unbearable pain.

  "Huh? Spiritual Palace?" Li Yuan sensed the anomaly in the spiritual world.

  As soon as he made up his mind, Li Yuan's consciousness had already descended into the first layer of the Spiritual Soul Palace.

  The entire first floor was now as bright as day.

  Li Yuan's consciousness quickly sensed the source of the anomaly, which was the Taiyi Jade Platform.

  It has been dormant in the past.

  Only Li Yuan would use it when practicing his visualization technique.

  But when Li Yuan's spiritual power reached the second-order limit, it seemed to have some response, bursting out with endless brilliant light.

  This radiance shines, as if there is an invisible force, causing the entire spiritual palace to tremble and shake.

  "What's going on?" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, this was an unprecedented change.

  Without hesitation.

  With a thought, Li Yuan's powerful and turbulent spiritual energy attempted to suppress the Taiyi Jade Platform, causing the Spiritual Palace to stabilize.

  But as soon as Li Yuan's thoughts touched the Taiyi Jade Platform.

  Rumble...

  Li Yuan only felt his spirit shake, and immediately the surrounding scene changed, and the spiritual palace of his heart had already disappeared.

  He stood in the midst of an endless starry sky, and not far away was that one side as if eternal and indestructible terrible sun, shining brightly.

  The sun's rays are shining several times brighter than usual.

  This is where Li Yuan used to practice "The Observation of the Great Day Starry Sky Scripture".

  "It's because of this round sun." Li Yuan suddenly understood, it was the sudden burst of scorching sun.

  Its radiance passed through Taiyi Jade Platform, causing the entire Spiritual Palace of the Heart to become unstable.

  And then affect one's spiritual world.

  It turned out that inside the Taiyi Jade Platform was indeed a large sun, rather than just an imagination, and this discovery made Li Yuan even more surprised.

  How many more secrets does the spiritual palace still hold!

  Hehe!

  Under the scorching sun, a string of intense sunlight directly shot into Li Yuan's consciousness, and a wave of severe pain suddenly swept over Li Yuan's consciousness.

  If it were Li Yuan a year ago.

  Under this scorching sunlight, it's estimated that Li Yuan will be in so much pain that he'll pass out in less than a second.

  How about now?

  His 30-level willpower and 29.9-level spiritual power allowed Li Yuan to easily withstand this terrible pain without changing color.

  "Suppress." Li Yuan suddenly had an epiphany, and in the midst of it, he felt a message being conveyed to him from the Taiyi Jade Platform.

  Suppress!

  The fluctuations of Taiyi can only be suppressed by oneself, if they cannot be suppressed, the continuous explosion of its light will cause fatal damage to the spiritual palace and even to Li Yuan's spiritual world.

  At this moment, Li Yuan vaguely understood that the spiritual palace was not entirely a good thing.

  It is a double-edged sword.

  There are many hidden assessments.

  "Just like when I reached the second floor, if my willpower and spiritual power weren't enough at that time, I wouldn't have been able to ascend, and my strength also wouldn't have increased so quickly." Li Yuan suddenly had an epiphany: "Today, my spiritual power has reached 29.9 levels, and in the depths of my mind, it has also reached a certain threshold of change within the Heart Palace."

  "However, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

  "To fully adapt to the changes in the Spiritual Palace, I must be strong enough to continue controlling everything." Li Yuan understood this: "If I couldn't adapt to such a change, the Spiritual Palace would instead bring harm to me."

  This discovery suddenly made Li Yuan feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

  But at this moment he had no time for deep thought.

  "Boom!" The large sun in the distant starry sky had become even more scorching and dazzling.

  "Suppress."

  Li Yuan thoroughly unfolded his consciousness body, like a miniature sun, trying to suppress the sun in the void.

  Humm... Li Yuan's spiritual power is quite insignificant compared to this round of Taiyi.

  But as the controller of the spiritual world, his mental power has a special property.

  The rapid movement calmed down the scorching sun a lot, and the spiritual palace was no longer trembling.

  But!

  Heh... Heh... That faint, faint light only weakened and didn't completely dissipate, directly shooting onto Li Yuan's consciousness, wave after wave of terrifying pain sweeping across his mind.

  Ouch! It hurts so much!

  As an ordinary Yuanwu practitioner, he would have dissipated his consciousness in a short period of time, but Li Yuan persisted.

  Strive to persevere.

  "Must hold on, hold on." Li Yuan muttered to himself, with a more terrifying obsession, no matter how much endless pain erupted, he still struggled to resist.

  The weak but tenacious spiritual force swept across this dark starry sky, causing the bursting sunlight to gradually subside.

  With the scorching sun's rays weakening.

  "Hmm~" "Hmm~" In the dark starry sky behind Li Yuan's consciousness.

  Revealing a faint outline of starlight.

  Wow! These stars are emitting weak starlight, which was not visible under the sunlight before. Now that the scorching sun has set, their starlight is revealed.

  Fell on Li Yuan's consciousness, nourishing his spiritual awareness.

  This moment is just like a scene from an imaginary scenario that has been played out countless times in the past.

  It's just hundreds or thousands of times faster than in the past.

  At this moment, Li Yuan's consciousness was located here, and his spiritual growth also soared a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

  Silent and unnoticeable.

  "Boom!" It was as if a limit of life had been broken, and Li Yuan only felt his spiritual consciousness exploding.

  "【Your mental strength has been upgraded from 29.9 to 30.0】"
