Ten months passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen An was able to absorb thirty streams of consciousness simultaneously.
But he was still not satisfied, as the more than ninety streams of consciousness that were synchronized with the ancient path were too far away.
At some point, he heard a question in his ear: "How much can you absorb simultaneously when you come in?"
Chen An replied: "About six or seven!"
This was the first time the two had chatted since they last met.
Gu Dao was stunned for a long time by Chen An's answer and then continued to ask: "How long have you been here?"
"More than a year."
After a long moment, Gu Dao sighed, "Newcomers are always the scariest. Have you never received proper instruction?"
"I haven't done anything improper either."
"I see. No wonder your methods seem off. I have nothing to do right now, so I can teach you a little."
"Thank you, senior."
Gu Dao smiled: "You're welcome, you'll know it after you get out anyway, I just told you in advance."
Next, he talked about the cultivation of consciousness in great detail.
"We need to continuously strengthen our sea of consciousness. This is the best place. By stimulating the stream of consciousness, we can speed up our cultivation."
"The sea of consciousness is divided into one hundred levels. Breaking through level sixty-six guarantees eternal consciousness, transcending lifespan limits. However, be aware that consciousnesses can still die, so be as cautious as possible. As for us, as long as we survive, we will eventually find a way to become invincible. Therefore, there's no need to get involved in worldly disputes."
"At first, you could only absorb six or seven streams of consciousness, which means your initial level was six or seven. Now you can absorb thirty, which means you've reached level thirty. This kind of talent is terrifying, and I rarely see it. But I must warn you, the more you cultivate the sea of consciousness, the more difficult it becomes."
…
After the teaching was over, Gu Dao wanted to move to another nebula and leave this place to Chen An.
Chen An's efficiency in absorbing things using his own method was indeed much higher.
However, as the level gets higher, the improvement becomes slower and slower, and it takes half a year to upgrade one level.
When he reached level 35, Chen An gave up this nebula and went outside to look for others.
In fact, this kind of nebula is called the Consciousness Cloud by the Shenpo Clan.
Before he could find a new place, Chen An saw an ancient road floating out from somewhere.
"I'm going to the Whirlpool, do you want to come with me?"
Chen An replied: "I'm only level 35, I haven't reached the standard yet."
"It doesn't matter. You can climb up on the way there."
It would definitely be better to have an experienced guide, so Chen An hurried to catch up.
"Don't worry if you laugh at me. This is my 627th attempt at the forbidden area, and I haven't been able to get through the whirlpool yet."
Chen An asked, "What's in the whirlpool? What will I get if I pass through it?"
Gu Dao had a strange look on his face. "Sometimes I even doubt whether you are from the Shenpo clan. The vortex contains the secret of the Shenpo clan's birth. Only by finding it can we have a chance to break through to level 100. For us, reaching the maximum level is just the starting point, but since ancient times, few have ever touched upon it."
"I see. Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
Next, the two of them absorbed the stream of consciousness as they walked, and Gu Dao transmitted his own ideas at the same time.
"Flesh and blood are weak, but consciousness ascends. We are the future of the universe."
"Don't do anything that threatens our survival, because only the Shenpo Clan who live forever can survive to the end."
"People should cut off all emotions and desires and not be affected by any external things in order to find their destination."
Chen An only agreed with a small part of his ideas, and mostly just listened to them.
After all, what you are cultivating is the body, and the consciousness is just auxiliary.
No matter how difficult the process of strengthening flesh and blood is, it is ultimately his foundation.
At some point, Chen An asked a soul-searching question.
"Since flesh and blood are weak, why do we need a carrier?"
Gu Dao thought for a long time before answering, "Because pure consciousness poses too many threats, a carrier can help us become stronger."
At this point he could no longer continue and fell into a long silence.
Chen An was also silent. He focused all his attention on absorbing the better stream of consciousness and gained a lot.
Four years later, the two finally arrived at the vortex, and Chen An had reached level 42 at this time.
"Is that the whirlpool?"
In the vast ocean of consciousness, countless pipe-like things extended outward, wriggling like worms and emitting a strange luster.
And outside the pipe, there are indeed quite a few insects crawling around, and they feed on devouring the stream of consciousness.
Chen An was stunned: "Fuyao, I have seen those kinds of bugs before, in my spiritual world. But the bugs here are too small."
[No relevant information, it is recommended to ask the ancient trail]
Chen An immediately asked, and Gu Dao replied: "That is the Whirlpool Guardian, which has a suppressive effect on the stream of consciousness. As long as we follow the rules, we will not be attacked. What's wrong with you?"
Chen An said: "Those bugs are all looking at me."
The insect has a head with smooth compound eyes and is generally gray in color.
At this moment, all the compound eyes looked at Chen An, inexplicably strange.
Even Gu Dao was shocked.
"Did you do something?"
Chen An was at a loss: "I didn't do anything, what should I do now?"
"Find a whirlpool and rush in, because the bugs can't get in. Let's go our separate ways and not together."
After saying this, he rushed out, fearing that he would be contaminated by insects.
Chen An had nothing to say. After all, this matter was related to him, and there was no reason for Gu Dao to stay and help him.
This also indirectly proves that Gudao is practicing his own philosophy, not doing anything that threatens himself, and saving his life is the top priority.
[Master, be careful, they are coming]
Countless insects rushed towards Chen An, making his scalp tingle.
"Find the nearest whirlpool. There's no time to choose."
