Chapter 117: Opening up the Sea of ​​Consciousness

Yanbei City, one of the capital's acropolis, has 40,000 imperial guards stationed in the city and a population of more than 300,000.

Because it is located in the north of the capital, and many wild geese pass through here every year, it is named after it.

In addition to guarding the capital, this city also takes into account the provision and production of materials for the capital, and sends the food and various daily necessities collected from all over the country to the capital in an orderly manner.

As the most prosperous existence, the capital has a huge amount of commercial goods every day.

And these acropolises are like the arteries of the capital, constantly transfusing blood to the capital.

"Let's rest in the city for a few days before going to the capital."

Chen Mo drove his horse into the city and explained to Zhao Yu in the carriage.

In the past seven or eight days, he was either in the wilderness or staying overnight in a big carriage inn, so the conditions were naturally not very good.

Not to mention people, the dogs have lost weight due to continuous travel during this period.

Now that I have finally arrived in a big city, of course I have to rest for a few days.

In addition, I am close to the opportunity to break through, and I just broke through here during the rest time.

Anyway, if we go south for more than 300 miles from this city, we will reach the capital.

Because it is close to the capital, Yanbei City is also quite prosperous.

Various commercial goods are transported back and forth, and many merchants and porters rest here. The business atmosphere in the city is very developed, and the prices are not cheap.

Chen Mo spent two taels of silver to temporarily rent a small courtyard in the city.

This kind of courtyard that is rented and sold by the day will never exist in other cities.

That is, there are too many merchants coming and going in Yanbei City, and even caravans and escort teams stop by.

So in addition to the inn, there are also such small courtyards with separate doors and separate households for rent.

Whenever it is almost time for dinner, there are waiters from nearby restaurants shouting and selling outside.

If you don’t want to go out to buy some food, you can call these waiters and ask them to deliver takeout to your home, but the price is relatively expensive.

"Let’s eat first, and we will all have a good rest after dinner."

Chen Mo looked at the food that had just been delivered to the table and greeted with a smile.

Zhao Yu first paid the waiter who came to deliver the meal, and then closed the courtyard door before walking to the table.

"I asked before, and the waiter said that mutton siomai is the signature of this restaurant. I specially asked for half a catty. You can taste it."

Zhao Yu brought a basket of mutton siomai that was still steaming, and asked Chen Mo to taste it carefully.

This restaurant sells siomai by liang, but it is based on the weight of the flour used to make the dough. There are eight siomai in one liang.

Half a catty is a full forty. If an ordinary strong man wants to finish so many, at least two or three people are needed.

However, this is nothing to Chen Mo. Even if there are many other dishes on the table, with his appetite, these will only be swept away.

The mutton siomai is dipped in garlic juice and chili oil. The aroma overflows when you bite it, and there is hot gravy inside.

This should be eaten while it is hot, otherwise it will be cold and smelly.

After sweeping away most of the food on the table, Chen Mo fetched clean water from the well in the yard to wash his body.

With his physical fitness, he didn't need to care about the cold or heat, just wash directly.

After washing, he changed into a clean and comfortable inner garment and adjusted his own state.

He told Zhao Yu that he would practice first.

He found a slightly secluded house, took out a cushion and sat cross-legged in it.

He also took out the glass bead, and Chen Mo had also studied this bead a little during this period.

He once asked Wei Xia what the inside of this bead was like, and Chen Mo even used his internal energy to inspect this bead.

But there was nothing inside, and this bead could not store anything else except Wei Xia's body.

The unique point is that this bead absorbs the power of heaven and earth at a very slow speed and releases cold air to the outside.

This cold air can help warriors calm down.

In addition, Wei Xia can use this bead to fight against the cold air released by the condensed ice in the void.

Holding the black ice bead, Chen Mo's mind quickly calmed down, and he could sense the power of his divine thoughts in his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, these powers are very chaotic, like one small thought after another, which cannot be gathered and used together.

If you want to open up the sea of ​​consciousness, you can't use any external means, you can only rely on the warriors themselves.

Fortunately, the essence and qi are combined. As long as the warriors are willing to practice, the accumulated number of divine thoughts will enable the warriors to open up the sea of ​​consciousness sooner or later.

However, how long it takes varies from person to person. Some need more than ten years, and some need decades.

Chen Mo is much better than ordinary warriors because of his strong physical body and internal energy.

In addition, with the help of Wei Xia's nourishing spirit liquid, he can complete the breakthrough a little faster than other warriors, without wasting too much time.

Calming his mind, Chen Mo further felt the extremely chaotic thoughts in the sea of ​​consciousness, and wanted to integrate them into one.

Opening up the sea of ​​consciousness is an extremely tedious and complicated task, which requires countless divine thoughts to be condensed bit by bit.

It takes a long time to open up the sea of ​​consciousness, at least in the perception of warriors, this period of time is very long.

Chen Mo's wisps of divine power are much stronger than those of ordinary warriors.

The reason is simple, because his body is strong enough, the divine power he nurtures is naturally much stronger than that of warriors at the same level.

Strands of divine power are constantly gathered in Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness, like strands of fine threads twisted into a solid hemp rope.

Chen Mo's perception of his own sea of ​​consciousness becomes clearer and clearer, when the concentration of divine power reaches a threshold.

Chen Mo instantly feels that he is pulled into a very strange space, or his own thoughts, and now he can feel this space.

This is the sea of ​​consciousness of a person, where divine thoughts gather.

There are countless flying golden threads around him, they are all his divine power, and now they are still being absorbed, integrated and integrated.

Looking outward, there is a stone wall flowing with golden light. His divine power now seems to be in a cave. This cave protects him, but also restricts him.

Only by opening up the cave mouth can the divine power see through the outside world and the breakthrough is completed.

Chen Mo slowly gathered all his divine power into a ball. Under his control, it was like waves, constantly hitting the cave in front of him.

"Boom!"

It seemed that billowing smoke and dust were scattered, and the stubborn stone collapsed, dissolving into golden glow and dissipating.

After opening the sea of ​​consciousness, Chen Mo's perception of the world was instantly different.

In the vast world, countless forces surged and changed.

Everything was normal at first, but as he observed again, he could find many clues.

These forces intertwined with each other, and then made a very strange sound.

And this force was constantly pulling itself, trying to drag itself to another place.

After taking the divine thoughts back to the sea of ​​consciousness, this feeling disappeared in an instant.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was the call of the sea of ​​mirage just now.

It is no wonder that the Qi cultivators cannot easily leave the blessed land without making sufficient preparations. This is indeed too dangerous.

Even if one has no understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, he can feel the call of this power, let alone the Qi cultivators.

However, although the divine thoughts are taken back into his body, he can still use it to draw the power of heaven and earth into the body for refining.

The efficiency of using the sea of ​​consciousness is much higher than that of the Xuanqiao acupoint, not to mention that the two can be used at the same time.

The sea of ​​consciousness draws countless forces of heaven and earth into the body, and the Xuanqiao acupoint refines them.

At this level, unless in the sea of ​​mirage, the internal energy of the warrior will hardly be exhausted.

The old power is not exhausted, and the new power has been born.

And the most important point is that Chen Mo's mind moved, and a spear composed purely of internal energy condensed in his hand.

By opening up the sea of ​​consciousness, Chen Mo can refine and absorb more power of heaven and earth.

Not only that, he can condense the internal energy and leave a wisp of divine consciousness on it, so as to ensure that the condensed internal energy will not dissipate for a long time.

Just like the internal energy spear in his hand, even if Chen Mo no longer provides it with any power, it can maintain its shape for several hours.

In addition, the distance of his internal energy release has also increased from several feet to more than ten feet.

If he can further integrate the three treasures of spirit, energy and spirit into one, and break through to the perfection of the acquired realm, or the late acquired realm.

Then his internal energy can be released a hundred feet away.

Looking at the world, the warriors at this level are not the top, but they are also first-class.

After the breakthrough, Chen Mo calmed down again, and the condensed divine consciousness dispersed again in the sea of ​​consciousness.

However, with this condensation, the next time he wants to twist them into a ball and use them, it will only take a moment.

After the breakthrough, Chen Mo walked out of the house.

Zhao Yu was washing clothes on the side. She had been traveling all the time during this period, and there was no place for her to wash clothes.

Now that he finally had a place to stay, he had to wash and dry the dirty clothes as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Chen Mo smiled and walked forward to help. He wrung out the clothes to be dried, and then handed them to Zhao Yu, asking her to hang them on the clothesline beside him.

After three days of recuperation in Yanbei City, Chen Mo set off again on horseback.

After another day of travel, the capital was already in sight, and Chen Mo could even see the tall and majestic city tower from afar.

However, when he set off the next day, he could clearly feel that something was wrong.

The number of carriages and horses traveling back and forth suddenly decreased a lot, and the official road that was bustling and sometimes even congested before suddenly became unobstructed.

It seemed that the entire capital, including several nearby acropolises, was suddenly under martial law, and all activities were ordered to stop.

Only some carriages and horses that were still on the way were still driving on the official road.

Although Chen Mo was not clear about the specific situation, he also understood that if there were such signs, there would be an accident if nothing unexpected happened.

He urged the horse to hurry up as soon as possible, wanting to rush to the capital to understand the situation. At the same time, he stimulated his internal energy to strengthen his ears so that he could better observe the surroundings.

After walking for dozens of miles, Chen Mo found a luxurious and noble carriage galloping from the wilderness in the distance.

This carriage is very magical. The three horses pulling the carriage are pure white without any stray hair. The most important thing is that even if they pull a carriage at full speed in the wilderness, these three horses still don’t feel any effort.

That carriage is even more special, with the frame bumping up and down. But the carriage is extremely special, as if it is not affected at all.

The carriage is also carved with auspicious beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, indicating that this carriage must have come from the palace.

Ordinary princes and ministers dare not surpass the carriages and horses with such etiquette.

The most important thing is that the person responsible for driving the carriage is a eunuch in the palace.

However, the three white horses were frightened and now they are running for their lives. The eunuch driving the carriage can’t control it at all.

Seeing that they were about to rush into another wilderness, Chen Mo immediately pulled the reins to stop the three white horses from running away.

He was very curious about what happened in the capital and why martial law was suddenly imposed.

How could the carriages and horses of the royal family appear in the wilderness outside the city?
