Chapter 755 755: Opening the Sea of Consciousness

Wan Hao stood with his hands behind his back, "These waters have a notable origin. According to our Wan Family ancestors, these waters come from the Land of the Netherworld!"

Qin Qi was stunned for a moment.

The whole person froze.

"The Land of the Netherworld?"

Wan Hao laughed heartily, "Of course, whether it's true or not, I don't know. But these waters can indeed make it easier for people to explore their souls and thus stimulate the power of the Sea of Consciousness!"

"You just need to sit on the Bagua Disk and focus your mind, but it doesn't guarantee success in exploring."

"If one's foundation is lacking, or talent is insufficient, and the Sea of Consciousness isn't explored, then within two years, that person will have no chance of breaking through to Half Step Foundation Establishment or opening the Sea of Consciousness."

Qin Qi responded, his gaze shifting to Wan Qing.

Time slowly passed.

Half an hour.

An hour!

After more than an hour.

The previously calm lake suddenly began to bubble ever so slightly!

Upon seeing the bubbles, Wan Lei exclaimed in surprise, "Big brother has already started to access the power of the Sea of Consciousness! Haha, it seems big brother will be the second Half-Step Foundation Establishment after Zhang Quanhe in the Martial Arts District."

"Yes, indeed!"

Wan Hao laughed heartily.

Qin Qi watched, bewildered, "What's going on?"

Wan Huarou smiled radiantly, "The birth of bubbles in the lake signifies that the person on the Bagua Disk has touched the power of the Sea of Consciousness."

"And the greater the bubble activity, the more extensive the opening of the Sea of Consciousness."

"Looking at the bubble intensity, big brother's Sea of Consciousness is likely already opened by ten percent, which is quite impressive. For ordinary Half-Step Foundation Establishment, opening five percent the first time is already good!"

Qin Qi silently noted this in his heart.

Once the bubbling subsided.

Wan Qing slowly opened his eyes and leapt back happily, "Dad, it's done. I'm now at Half-Step Foundation Establishment!"

"Don't be too complacent. Wenren Xiaoxian of the Holy Maiden Association reached Half-Step Foundation Establishment long ago, and her talent is arguably stronger than Zhang Quanhe's!" Wan Hao poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"What?"

Wan Qing's newfound confidence was extinguished.

Wan Lei was eager, "Now that big brother has tried, it's my turn!"

With that, he immediately jumped onto the Bagua Disk.

The process was similar to Wan Qing's.

Except, his situation seemed somewhat lacking compared to Wan Qing.

Over an hour passed!

No bubbles appeared on the lake surface, nor any signs of movement.

Another hour passed.

The lake surface remained unchanged.

Wan Qing and Wan Hao both looked troubled.

Two hours had passed without a single bubble, indicating it might be difficult for Wan Lei to access the power of the Sea of Consciousness.

Then suddenly.

A solitary bubble emerged!

Wan Huarou was pleasantly surprised, "It's done, it appeared!"

Though not as strong as Wan Qing's, the emergence of bubbles indicated Wan Lei had successfully tapped into the power of the Sea of Consciousness!

And Wan Lei opened his eyes and called out, "Haha, it's done, I've done it too!"

He returned to Wan Hao and Wan Qing's side.

"Well done!" praised Wan Qing.

Wan Lei scratched his head with a wry smile, "But compared to you, big brother, I'm really far behind. Opening my Sea of Consciousness to maybe one percent is already good!"

"Now when people say I'm Half-Step Foundation Establishment, I feel embarrassed myself."

Wan Hao spoke calmly, "No matter what, success is good, don't ask for too much. Alright, little friend Qin Qi, it's your turn!"

Qin Qi had been waiting for quite a while.

Upon hearing Wan Hao's words, he did not hesitate and swiftly leapt onto the Bagua Disk!

Both Wan Hao and Wan Qing watched the Bagua Disk attentively.

Especially Wan Qing and his brother, who though confident in their talents were intrigued by the phenomenon Qin Qi had introduced to the Martial Arts District, overturning evaluations of prodigies.

Though accessing the Sea of Consciousness doesn't explain talent, they were curious about Qin Qi's results.

Strangely enough.

Two hours passed.

The lake where Qin Qi was remained serene, unchanged.

"Well..."

Wan Huarou bit her lip, "Could it be Qin Qi is going to fail?"

Wan Hao, with hands behind his back, said, "It's normal, your two brothers have been at Tier Nine True Martial for over two years, building a solid foundation to explore the Sea of Consciousness, which even then I feel was too early."

"Qin Qi has just reached Tier Nine True Martial, barely two weeks ago. It's still somewhat early for him."

"If he accesses the Sea of Consciousness power now, it would surprise me."

Wan Huarou couldn't help but say, "Then dad, why let him try!"

Wan Hao chuckled, "Youngsters are naturally impatient. If I stopped him, he might not understand. Better to earn his favor!"

Wan Huarou furrowed her brows, internally unwilling to accept.

Could it be, Qin Qi is really going to fail?

But at that moment, Wan Lei suddenly noticed something, "No, I feel something's off with the lake surface!"

"I also sense it, the surface seems to be trembling!"

Wan Hao naturally noticed too.

And at the next moment!

A multitude of bubbles emerged from the lake surface.

One, two, dozens!

They covered the entire lake surface!

"This, what's happening!" Wan Qing's eyes widened.

Wan Lei equally incredulous, "How is it possible, dad, when big brother opened his Sea of Consciousness, there were only seven or eight bubbles, even so, opening ten percent was already a remarkable feat."

"Qin Qi, this, this is too astonishing, so many bubbles, and it hasn't stopped!"

Wan Hao took a deep breath, equally shocked by the scene.

After a long while, he spoke, "It's not that Qin Qi opened more of the Sea of Consciousness, but that Qin Qi's natural Sea of Consciousness is much larger than normal."

It's like developing land.

The percentage isn't always applicable.

Because you are developing one kilometer of land, while others are developing a hundred kilometers!

If others open one percent, it's already all of yours!

Wan Hao suddenly realized, "No wonder the lake surface remained unmoved, this kid had already accessed the Sea of Consciousness power early on, the reason the surface didn't stir for over two hours was that this kid's Sea of Consciousness power is too immense, so much so that he's been spending time developing it!"

Wan Huarou asked curiously, "Dad, isn't everyone's Sea of Consciousness the same size?"

Wan Hao shook his head, "That's not the case, if this kid's foundation before entering the Foundation Establishment Stage is strong enough, and his soul strength high, then naturally his Sea of Consciousness would exceed the norm!"

Yet internally he was deeply puzzled.

Qin Qi had only been Tier Nine True Martial for a short time, where did he acquire such a strong foundation and background?

Is this what a true genius is!
