Present time.
That was the most important memory of this body.
Although Lu Shan had been injured before, he had almost recovered. Then, did he die in his sleep? Because of his exhaustion, or did someone hit him in his sleep?
But the door of the room is still locked, and there are no footprints around, nor is there any sign of a blow to the head either.
Albeit when I first opened my eyes, I was feeling very uneasy and felt pain in my head. I think it was probably due to the memory of this body being loaded into my brain.
This kind of memory realization wasn't like suddenly gained through transmigration, but almost like feeling like living 20 years of life in this world.
In memory, I can still see most of Lu Shañg's youthful days. I almost vividly remember the first time he sensed spiritual energy. Later, due to his spiritual roots ability he absorbed surrounding spiritual energy through the Heavenly Gateway into dantian.
When this boy's parents were alive, he even ate low-tier spirit beast meat to gain spiritual energy.
Originally spiritual roots are an innate ability and the energy pathway of the human body that opens the Heavenly Gate and connects them at the same time. And this Heavenly Gate is connected to the Mysterious Palace where the cultivators Dantian is located.
Cultivators basically use the Circulation Method to absorb surrounding spiritual energy. Then this energy enters the Heavenly Gate through the channel of the Roots, and then the energy transmitted from the Heavenly Gate is received by the Dantian in the Mysterious Palace.
After seeing the memory about cultivation and methods , Lu Shang finally understands the vigorous energy coursing through his whole body is called Spiritual Qi, and his feelings towards this kind of energy were very intoxicating.
—----
Following the memory, Lu Shang sits in the meditation position and starts meditating until he sees the Mysterious Palace.
Suddenly, he found himself in a mysterious space similar to the Universal Space he knew on Earth. Looking at the very center of it, he could see a round object like a planet spinning around its axis, and a few star-like dots were positioned in a specific formation slightly above it.
He excitedly looked around and felt like an omnipotent being observing this entire space from above.
'Hah, is this whole place my inner space?
Seeing his own firsthand experience, he feels such shock and amazement that he can't help but question himself, even though he previously knew and already felt a certain connection that the whole space is a part of himself.
Although previous Lu Shañg was as surprised as he was, he didn't pay any attention to it afterwards, because he knew that all cultivators have it.
But Transmigrator Lu Shang was different because of where he came from. This mysterious space was so sacred and vast that it was impossible to even explore there, let alone imitate it.
With shock and amazement, he looks further.
And...
....
Although in this space, Lu Shang felt omnipotence, he looked around from above. He himself could not see or find any certain edges of this space; except for a very insignificant space in the very center, there was only dark, empty space all around.
---
In this cultivation world, every cultivator has a mysterious inner space, and this is one of the most Heaven and Earth mysteries.
Lu Shang focused on the very center of this space. In this inner center space resides a thumb-sized circular Dantian made of transparent glass that rotates in the dark, empty space. Within this transparent, marble ball-like dantian, special energy resides almost everywhere, like a dense, white cloud.
And above the dantian, Lu Shang found that, like stars in the sky, there are 12 small, white-bright dots imitating starlight and surrounded by passing clouds of white gaseous Qi. Lu Shang knew they are called the 12 Heavenly Gates, or 12 Heavenly Meridians, which are located both in the human body and in the mysterious palace at the same time.
From Lu Shang's perspective, the entire Inner Space looked like a newly born Heaven and Earth.
He couldn't help but wonder.
'If I become a real immortal in the future, will my inner space become the real Heaven and Earth?
After observing this magical place for a long time, when his excitement and emotions had somewhat subsided, Lu Shang Sense came out of there.
While sitting in meditation, Lu Shang now opened his eyes. At that moment, he raised his left hand slightly and opened his fist. Then, after focusing a little, a thumb-sized drop of water, visible to the naked eye from all around, formed and floated on the palm of his hand.
Actually, it is not a technique or a special method.
Due to Lu's inferior water affinity, he can somewhat manipulate the water element within the energy that is very close to him.
Many people who have higher elemental affinity often manipulate direct elements within spiritual energy during attacks and defenses. Such methods include head-sized fireballs, water shields, Earth boulders, ice blades, wind blades, thunder lighting.
....
Lu Shang thought again.
I am already aware of my mysterious inner palace, heavenly gates, dantian, and even innate water affinity.
Hmm...
So now, let's experience the most essential and important thing for every cultivator.
As soon as the thought of his own experience surged to Lu Shang's mind, he quit meditating, stood up, walked straight out the door, and appeared in the middle of the courtyard.
In the sky, the morning sun is shining warmly.
Without thinking anything else, Lu Shang stood up straight, closed his excited eyes, and, according to his memory, directly activated his Spiritual Sense.
Hsss!!
Once again, Lu Shang was amazed by the power and effectiveness of his spiritual sense.
'Haah!'
Despite closing my eyes, I can instantly see a 360° view of everything around me as clear as day, covering an area of about 25 meters, and my ability to hear has also increased. This was far better than what I could see with the naked eye and feel through all of my mortal senses combined.
'This?!'
Suddenly, Lu Shang shocked again and couldn't believe his eyes, because this spiritual sense was so perfect and amazing that he could now clearly see a group of ants about 20 meters away and even count them.
And that was possible because when his spiritual sense focused on an object at a certain distance, that object appeared in front of his eyes, slightly enlarged like a camera zoom, which was truly amazing.
Lu Shang kept his spiritual senses active and looked at his building.
Lu Shañg from the past had placed a sense blocking talisman on the entrance of this building, but since Lu Shang was the owner, it was able to recognise Lu Shang's sense patterns, so Lu Shang scanned the entire building with his senses without any interruption.
Instantly, the entire X-ray vision of the building appeared before Lu Shang's eyes, where he could see the structure of the house clearly and distinctly.
Lu Shang already sees a reddish, fist-sized life form coming and going through a hole in one corner of the house.
When cultivators activate their spiritual senses to see something on the other side of the wall or inside the room, if there is a living object or spiritual object in the room, they will see the different colored spiritual energy signals of that object in the room.
The ability of this spiritual sense to see everything without obstruction was so magical that Lu Shang had never felt it in his previous life; it felt like he was omniscient.
After a few breaths of amazement he stopped his omnipotent sense because Lu Shang's hands and feet are itching to experience his various techniques firsthand.
'Now that the spiritual sense's turn is over.I should experience the godlike abilities that even a lower cultivator like me possess.
