Chapter 1000 704: Faces Are Known, Hearts Are Not
The problem of being unable to break through the upper limit of Spiritual Power has not only troubled the Outer City for countless years but also bothers the races in the Wilderness, always a topic that the myriad races are eager to conquer. They've tried innumerable methods but always seem to lack an effective technique.
Now, someone suddenly claims to have a method to break through the Spiritual Power upper limit?
To be honest, Mo Li and Anan didn't believe it at first.
But considering it was Li Zheng who said this—a person whom the former clan leaders of the three tribes were willing to entrust their entire race to—they believed him a bit more.
"Are Lu Li and the others here? Go and bring him, Ma Long, and Qian Duoduo here," Li Zheng instructed Wang Chaoran to find them.
"Okay!"
Wang Chaoran was excited to receive the task, swung his arms, and quickly ran out to find the three of them.
"The other people..." Li Zheng looked at Xiao Siyuan and took out a few Elf Fruits from the capsule: "Your Spiritual Power intensity is temporarily insufficient. You can eat these fruits to enhance it a bit. When you can actively absorb Magic Crystal Energy, I'll have someone teach you how to form Spiritual Power Nodes. For now, just watch and accumulate experience."
"That's fine." Xiao Siyuan accepted the Elf Fruit and handed one to Lin Fengjiao, then carefully examined it using Prel's Eye to assess its effects before taking a bite.
Wang Chaoran was fast; Xiao Siyuan and the others hadn't even finished one Elf Fruit when he brought Lu Li and the three others over.
Lu Li was much more composed than before. Previously, Li Zheng had him train to overload for two or three days with remarkable effects, greatly alleviating his episodic mental illness, which now might not even occur once a day.
Li Zheng glanced at Ma Long and called him over: "You warriors seem to have a much fuller Spiritual Power than ordinary people; you're already at the boundary of forming nodes. You're included too; eat another Elf Fruit to stabilize first."
Having Xiao Siyuan give Ma Long a fruit, Li Zheng said to the chosen individuals: "Next, everyone should relax their mental defenses; if you're unsure how to do this, when you feel an intrusion in your mind, don't resist."
Mo Li and the others agreed, except Dan Fenglai, who eyed Li Zheng warily, seemingly mistrusting him.
Li Zheng didn't bother with her; he was giving the three tribes an opportunity, and if Dan Fenglai couldn't grasp it, it wasn't his problem but hers.
He had everyone sit down cross-legged and instructed Mirel: "Stand at the door and ensure no outsiders come in."
"Alright," Mirel replied and went to stand at the door.
Li Zheng opened his Spiritual Power to envelop those ready to form Spiritual Power Nodes, penetrating into their Spiritual Realms, and commanded, "Do not resist, or if you miss this chance, I won't teach you a second time!"
The Spiritual Realm is a very fragile place; if invaded with ill intent, it can lead to irreparable catastrophe.
The Blood Patterned Black Dragon clan had researched this, albeit limited by their strength; their research was not profound. However, the Black Dragon patriarch had reached similar conclusions and informed all clan members.
At this time, Mo Li sensed a stream of Spiritual Power invading her mind, instinctively wanting to raise her Spiritual Power to resist.
After much effort to stabilize herself, she finally suppressed the instinct, allowing Li Zheng to delve deeper into her Spiritual Realm.
Li Zheng multitasked, first infiltrating Mo Li's Spiritual Realm, connecting with her Spiritual Body, guiding her on how to form Spiritual Power Nodes.
The second was Ma Long.
As a peer, Ma Long wasn't very familiar with Li Zheng, but he knew the other person wouldn't harm him, so he forced himself to relax and accept Li Zheng's Spiritual Power into his Spiritual Realm.
Surprisingly, Li Zheng thought Dan Fenglai would resist the most intensely; however, she was the third to accept him, and his Spiritual Power quickly entered her Spiritual Realm.
Lastly was Anan from the Suffering Race.
This girl who outwardly obeyed Li Zheng had internally never trusted him; at this moment, she was consciously resisting Li Zheng's Spiritual Power probing into her mind.
Li Zheng frowned, dispersed that portion of Spiritual Power, and focused on guiding the other three.
The three's Spiritual Realms were fascinating.
Mo Li's Spiritual Realm featured two distinct landscapes.
One half was a dimly lit cave environment, with a large grass mat made of a certain kind of dried grass; the other half was the square inch at the entrance of the Teleportation Gate in Block 902, with tables, chairs, and snacks placed inside.
It was evident these two places held many precious memories for Mo Li.
Li Zheng guided her in successfully forming a Spiritual Power Node, which, when formed, slowly floated up, and finally embedded at the junction of the two environments, shining like a luminous night pearl.
Ma Long's Spiritual Realm was a place akin to a military training camp, with many pieces of equipment Li Zheng had seen on television scattered around.
Looking up, Li Zheng found Ma Long's Spiritual Realm had a bright red sky, dotted with several golden stars.
Beside the stars was a crescent-shaped moon.
Ma Long's Spiritual Body was slightly weaker; the Spiritual Power Node formed was only the size of a grain of rice, merging with the most luminous star in the bright red sky, barely noticeable.
Dan Fenglai's Spiritual Realm was a castle. The castle interior was very girlish, full of pink decor, with numerous dolls on a soft bed.
Her Spiritual Body leaned against the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, faintly weak, greatly contrasting her fierce nature.
"Why are you sitting here?" Li Zheng frowned and asked, "Generally, your Spiritual Body should occupy the center of your Spiritual Realm normally; you've gone astray, suggesting some issues with your mental aspect..."
"You're the one with issues!" Dan Fenglai curled up like a wounded cat but still showed her claws, exposing her tough side to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng looked at her for a moment, and smiled gently: "I see, you turned out to be a tsundere."
"You're the tsundere!" Even while fierce, Dan Fenglai seemed oddly cute to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng pointed at her forehead, saying, "Don't panic, carefully feel the simulated images I give you; soon you'll form Spiritual Power Nodes in this manner."
Dan Fenglai paused and then got drawn into the simulated imagery within her mind.
Outside, Mo Li and Ma Long opened their eyes after forming their first Spiritual Power Nodes.
Mo Li noticed Anan stayed aside early on, her eyes flickering without speaking.
She quickly realized Anan hadn't successfully formed a Spiritual Power Node.
This indicated Anan was the only one who resisted Li Zheng, preventing him from entering her Spiritual Realm.
