76 Secret Revealed (1/2)

”There is one more matter I need to talk to you about. Your world has assigned a group of Guardians to defend it from the coming disaster. This world and your world would like your help in training them to become as powerful as they can within the shortest amount of time possible.

You are the only one who possesses the ability to accomplish this task.”, Jackie said with a knowing look on his face.

”I appreciate the flattery Senior Jackie, but I'm still learning myself. How could I possible teach others when I have so much I don't even know?” Chen Zhen asked feeling overwhelmed by what wad being asked of him.

”It will be fine as long as your other self has all the information he needs.”, Jackie said with a smirk. He was determined to not let Chen Zhen off easy.

While Chen Zhen stared dumbfounded at Jackie, Shenggu Julong asked, ”Excuse me Senior Jackie, but what exactly are you talking about. I believe I'm as confused as Chen Zhen is at the moment.”

Jackie didn't answer right away, he just stood there staring at Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen feeling very uncomfortable being stared at like that started to look away and scratch the back of his head sheepishly. When Shenggu Julong saw this he knew that Chen Zhen really did understand what Jackie meant.

”Ok you little brat spill it. What is he talking about?”, Shenggu Julong glared at Chen Zhen, upset that he had been hiding something from him. He wasn't too upset though as he knew every cultivator had their own secrets. It's just that he thought that they were close enough that Chen Zhen wouldn't keep anything from him.

”Well it's like this. Remember when you were performing the Soul Connecting technique, you needed to open my spiritual sea?”, Chen Zhen asked Shenggu Julong.

”Yeah I remember that, what's that got to do with this? ”

”Well.... when it was opened I created a copy of myself to explore that new realm. When I recovered from the Soul Connecting technique my spiritual sea was still open and my copy was still there. Not only that but it could communicate with me. It never requires rest and is always absorbing information around it. It was the reason I was able to create my techniques. He does all the hard work of figuring out qi flows, which meridians to use, and how best to execute the new martial art. Then he just transfers the finished product into my mind and I practice it to become proficient in it.”

Chen Zhen had his head down the entire time he was explaining because given the situation, he felt guilty he had not told Shenggu Julong these things sooner. He didn't raise his head till he noticed it was extremely quiet around him. Jackie and Shenggu Julong were looking at him with their jaws hanging open. Chen Zhen's simple reply was nothing short of a miracle. Chen Zhen didn't think anything of it because he didn't understand the fundamental behind the spiritual sea. Eventhough Jackie knew of his alter ego, her just assumed it was an innate ability that Chen Zhen naturally possessed. He never in his wildest dreams believed it was an ability that Chen Zhen created.

The Spiritual Sea usually isn't opened until someone reaches the Divine Stage because a person must step by step improve their body and mind and enhance it to the point where they can withstand the backlash of information that their spiritual sense would impart to them.

Everytime a cultivator improves their bodies They enhance themselves on their most fundamental level. Their flesh, bones, nerves, bone marrow, even ther blood cells that circulate thru their bodies are slowly enhanced as they cultivate. This improvement allows their brains to grow stronger as well. They slowly begin to use more parts of the brain then before. This allows them to gain abilities like Spiritual Sense, perfect memory recall, this also allows them to understand the deeper meanings of the universe so they can fully seek out their Dao.

For Chen Zhen who was nothing more then a mere mortal on the verge of death to be able to withstand the soul crushing pain of having his spiritual sea forcefully opened, means that parts of his brain that had never been active before were forcefully activated. Not only did this not cause him to instantly pass out, but he even took the time to explore what was happening. And not only did be take the time to explore but he even created a soul avatar. This is a vast high level skill that some Immortal cultivators can't even accomplish. But Chen Zhen as a mere mortal was able to. Shenggu Julong who is at the peak of the Immortal Stage could not do this himself.
