Jingyuan did the opposite and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.
From the summit of Dingmao Peak, one can look down and see all the surrounding mountains below.
As Jingyuan climbed to the top of the mountain, he walked while reading the cultivation manual in his mind.
According to the description of the practice, to cultivate using source energy, one must first reach the state of inner insight.
Vipassana is an ancient practice, documented in both Lighthouse and Dragonbone Village.
The Lighthouse's Return to Origin Mind Method actually contains the ideas of introspection.
When Longgu Village inspires aspiration, it allows the body to reach a state of selflessness, which is also a form of introspection.
Jingyuan already knew all of this.
Jingyuan stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the sky, the mountains, and the earth. He allowed his spiritual energy to be released naturally, quickly entering a state of "selflessness."
As Jingyuan's emotions gradually calmed down, he began to perceive changes in the world around him.
The sky disappeared, the mountains beneath our feet disappeared, and even the entire land disappeared.
Jingyuan felt as if he had entered a dark, void space.
In this void, I am like a speck of starlight.
As Jingyuan gained a deeper understanding of the space, he discovered smaller starlight within it.
With a thought, Jing Yuan pulled those smaller starlights over and made them part of his own starlight.
Jingyuan looked around again and saw countless tiny starlight, small in size but numerous in number.
So Jingyuan began to absorb the surrounding starlight, gradually strengthening himself.
In reality, Jing Yuan sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, surrounded by a faint aura.
The starlight in the darkness is merely a figurative representation of the cultivation of source energy.
As time passed, Jingyuan opened his eyes.
“Source Energy Cultivation can enhance my body, and this round of cultivation feels the same as when I received a cheat reward to improve my physical fitness.”
"If cultivating source energy only strengthens the body, and the system rewards me with improved physical attributes every time I absorb life source essence to advance, which is all about strengthening the body, then why should I cultivate?"
If the result is the same, Jingyuan also wants to choose the simpler method.
With these questions in mind, Jing Yuan continued to peruse the second cultivation manual: "Spatial Secrets"!
"System notification: I have acquired a spatial talent. What exactly is this spatial talent?"
This question probably needs to be answered by referring to the second manual of martial arts techniques.
The first chapter of "Spatial Secrets" is also an overview.
Space is the basic building block of the universe. Life normally lives in it, but can only perceive the dimensions of space.
However, some gifted individuals can perceive the essence of space.
For example: spatial fluctuations, spatial distortions.
Spatial secrets involve utilizing the essence of space to control, even dominate, and create space.
"No wonder..."
Jing Yuan smiled slightly. He had felt something was off since the beginning.
Only then did he realize that what he had sensed was spatial fluctuation.
After awakening this talent, spatial fluctuations and distortions become as natural to them as ordinary people can see and hear.
Jingyuan continued reading and discovered that mastering spatial techniques also greatly enhanced combat power.
Once the spatial structure is perceived, the attack can be propagated along the spatial structure to enhance its penetrating power.
For psychic practitioners, combining mental power with spatial distortion can even allow them to indirectly control space when their strength is weak.
Seeing this, Jing Yuan finally understood why the "Source Energy Cultivation Method" and the "Spatial Secret Technique" were sent as rewards at the same time.
Although Jing Yuan can directly improve his physical attributes through system rewards, he cannot absorb or use source energy.
The source energy for improving physical fitness was used entirely to transform the body in that one burst, leaving no surplus energy to use.
Only if Jingyuan absorbs and refines it himself can there be usable source energy.
To perform certain secret techniques, one also needs source energy.
Jingyuan looked around and saw that the mountaintop was empty, so he simply used his palm as a blade and began to use the "Nine Rivers Blade Technique".
"Second move, Breaking Waves!"
Jingyuan chopped with his hand, instantly splitting the snow on the mountaintop into two paths, with the middle "path" extending for hundreds of meters.
Jingyuan unleashed another move, "Third move, Flow Backwards!"
This move, inspired by the flowing water, expresses the unpredictable nature of swordsmanship.
Jingyuan had always struggled to grasp the essence of this move when he practiced it before.
Now that he has awakened his spatial talent, he has discovered that this move actually contains a trace of the essence of spatial secret techniques.
When the sword technique reverses, it turns sharply downwards, which, to onlookers, even seems to violate the laws of physics.
However, this can be completely explained using spatial secrets.
Because the space has changed.
Having grasped this point, Jingyuan mastered the third move, Return Flow.
He used his palm as a knife to perform sword techniques, constantly making highly mobile movements.
After practicing his swordsmanship for a while, as dusk fell, Jingyuan prepared to descend the mountain.
Suddenly, something flew down from the foot of the mountain.
Jing Yuan scanned it with his mental power and found that it was a locator.
Jingyuan used his telekinetic powers to catch it.
The locator started flashing.
Jing Yuan was shocked to see that the electrical energy in the locator activated the space, opening a crack in the space.
A slender figure leaped out of the spatial rift and landed directly in Jing Yuan's arms.
"Penny!" Jing Yuan said in surprise, "Why are you up here?"
“They said you were enjoying the scenery up in the mountains, so I came to see what scenery you were looking at!” Penny said with a smile.
Jing Yuan smiled slightly, "Why did you come up like this?"
“Climbing mountains is too much trouble,” Penny explained. “Tasia often travels this way too.”
She looked at Jingyuan and asked, "Is the scenery here beautiful?"
"You'll see for yourself." Jingyuan put Penny down.
Penny exclaimed, "A world without an ecosystem would be wonderful!"
Jingyuan nodded in agreement. The scenery before them was beautiful, but it was only temporary.
"Oh, by the way," Penny said, turning to him, "I heard you awakened your potential. Congratulations!"
Jingyuan looked at her and asked, "Do you want to know what ability I've awakened?"
"What ability?"
Jingyuan pointed to the locator and said, "Take me back first, and I'll tell you."
Penny smiled slightly, took Jingyuan's hand, and then touched the locator.
As soon as Jingyuan saw it, Penny's body began to collapse. The collapse started from Penny's arms and gradually spread to her whole body, and then through the two of them, it transferred to Jingyuan's body.
In an instant, Jing Yuan also entered a quantum superposition state!
Swish it!
Jingyuan and Penny arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Penny smiled and said, "You can speak now."
Jing Yuan was surprised. It only took him a moment to enter the quantum state, and then he traveled down the mountain and returned to his original state.
But just a moment ago, he seemed to have seen a strange world.
To be precise, even using the word "see" is inaccurate, because in the state of quantum superposition, his body has already been transformed into a wave.
He must have perceived that world in a special way.
Penny waved her hand in front of Jingyuan's face, and asked with some concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Penny had just learned how to lead people through the portal and was afraid that something might happen to Jingyuan because of it.
"I'm fine!"
Seeing that he had recovered, Penny was relieved and asked with a smile, "You still haven't told me about your talent!"
"I also awakened a spatial ability, but it's different from yours."
"So you also travel through space?"
