Chapter 123: Teaching Divine Consciousness

Yi Chen’s gaze swept over the faces of the tribe members at the Spirit Consciousness stage.

He spoke, “Divine consciousness is not a skill, but rather an ability. It is a magical ability that can be refined after reaching the Spirit Consciousness stage!”

Except for Bai Ruo Xin, nearly all the tribe members with the Spirit Consciousness stage looked confused.

…

“I was so scared; thank goodness!”

“It really is like this; it’s because there are no skills or energy circulation pathways that Yi Chen only wrote down the name of the new ability.”

“May the heavens protect us; hopefully, nothing else goes wrong.”

“Many people mocked the Military for turning to metaphysics, and after confirming that Yi Chen was about to teach the new ability, they immediately announced they would build a statue of him on the warship, purely out of fear that Yi Chen would make some unexpected decision during the fourth teaching, trying to comfort themselves.”

“I actually think it’s sometimes good to believe in something. Who knows, it might just be sensing the Military’s sincerity that keeps Yi Chen from making any unexpected decisions at the last minute!”

“At worst, it could at least serve as a self-comfort.”

The audience in the live room showed ecstatic expressions, all sighing in relief.

They experienced great sadness and joy.

Their feelings were like riding a roller coaster, plunging into the depths only to suddenly soar up into the sky.

Fortunately, it was a fall first, then a rise.

Otherwise, countless people would lose their composure and rush to see a psychologist.

…

“Before talking about divine consciousness, let’s discuss the six senses.”

In front of the stone wall, Yi Chen began to introduce divine consciousness.

“Humans have six senses: Eye Sense, Ear Sense, Nose Sense, Tongue Sense, Body Sense, and Consciousness. These six senses correspond to vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought.”

“Divine consciousness is a combination that strengthens the six senses.”

“First is vision. When we open our eyes, we can see everything our sight can reach.”

“Once we close our eyes, we cannot see anything. Now, what you need to do is try to close your eyes and use your Perception Ability to observe everything around you.”

“Focus your attention, clear your mind, and if you can ‘see’ a hint of vague light, it means you have found your direction.”

“Remember, during this process, you might get a headache; just take it slow and continue; you will gradually get used to it.”

Yi Chen decided to guide everyone in developing their divine consciousness using the method he had originally used.

The seventy-two tribe members in the Spirit Consciousness stage immediately sat cross-legged and closed their eyes.

Then, they attempted to use their Perception Ability to sense the surrounding environment.

…

“This new ability seems to be much stronger than we imagined and inferred!”

Those talented individuals at the Spirit Consciousness stage in front of the screen all proceeded to follow Yi Chen’s instructions.

Even some people at the Spirit Law stage began to try it out.

But most people only had the right to discuss.

“We always thought that Yi Chen’s new ability, which is this divine consciousness, mainly has the effect of greatly increasing brainwave speed and allowing us to control objects with our thoughts.”

“However, listening to Yi Chen, it seems he also has the ability to see the surroundings even with closed eyes? And perhaps it’s even clearer than using our eyes.”

“Otherwise, Yi Chen wouldn’t have described it as a strengthened version of the six senses.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, it means the other five senses would be similar. For example, a strengthened version of ‘consciousness’ would result in a significant increase in Thinking Speed, thus boosting brainwave speed.”

“Wow, if that’s really the case, will humanity eventually evolve to the point where our senses gradually vanish?”

“That’s very possible because with a more powerful divine consciousness, we wouldn’t even need the senses.”

“Not necessarily, don’t forget, you can only refine divine consciousness after breaking through to the Spirit Consciousness stage.”

“Before reaching the Spirit Consciousness stage, you can’t refine divine consciousness; you still have to rely on your eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.”

The crowd of common folk, who couldn’t refine divine consciousness yet, buzzed with excitement.

Although they couldn’t refine divine consciousness at the moment, as long as they knew the method, they could achieve it after breaking through to the Spirit Consciousness stage in the future.

A strong divine consciousness was undoubtedly better.

But no one knew that the ninth level of Spirit Law was like a huge chasm for humanity.

Only a few geniuses could cross it in one step.

For the rest, no amount of time would yield results.

It wasn’t as simple as most people imagined; despite their lower talent, the biggest problem was that geniuses could upgrade a small level in just ten days, while others might need a hundred days or even a year.

At first, that was true, but after reaching the ninth level of Spirit Law, enlightenment would become increasingly important.

Even those geniuses would gradually be surpassed, facing situations where they couldn’t break through to the next small level.

…

Having someone to guide and teach is certainly much easier than figuring it all out alone.

The seventy-two tribe members present had talents that were only about one-fifth to one-third of Yi Chen’s.

But their speed in using their Perception Ability to ‘see’ the surroundings was much faster than Yi Chen’s when he first started.

“I see it! I can see the iron sword next to me!”

“I see the Small Stones behind me. I can’t see them clearly, but I can definitely ‘see’ them!”

“It’s amazing; I can still see areas that my eyes can’t reach when I close them.”

As one person exclaimed in delight, the others all excitedly shared their progress upon hearing the noise.

Yi Chen didn’t stop them.

Although he didn’t like wasting time, he wouldn’t be so harsh as to deny his tribe members a moment of excitement.

After about ten minutes, without needing Yi Chen to prompt them, the seventy-two members voluntarily quieted down and continued to sense the surroundings.

After two hours, Yi Chen broke in to ask about their current progress.

Not bad.

More than half of them had reached a level where closing their eyes allowed them to see more clearly than when using their eyes.

However, their ranges varied.

Some couldn’t see beyond seventy to eighty centimeters no matter how hard they tried, while others could only see sixty to seventy centimeters, and the farthest was around ninety centimeters.

This was all within Yi Chen’s expectations.

One meter was the maximum coverage range of divine consciousness at the first level of the Spirit Consciousness stage.

Although those present were the top geniuses of the tribe, even if they spent a lot of time continuously trying to extend their range, they could only approach the limit without truly reaching it.

Yi Chen didn’t wait any longer.

Since the majority had succeeded, they could proceed to the next step.

“Those who haven’t met the requirements, continue enhancing your Eye Sense. The rest of you, just like strengthening your Eye Sense, use your Perception Ability to hear the sounds of the outside world.”

With Yi Chen’s command, most of the tribe members began to focus on enhancing their Ear Sense.

Then they moved on to Nose Sense, Tongue Sense, Body Sense, and Consciousness…

Many tribe members fell behind and were gradually eliminated.

The number of people keeping up with the pace continued to decrease.
