Hyperdimensional Universe: I have Three Thousand Ultimate Talents

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Soul Dominator

Muscles and bones resonated in harmony, and power penetrated every detail. Jiang Ming directly broke through to the Second Realm of Martial Arts, the Qi Sea Realm.

No matter what, Jiang Ming could not have imagined that today he would achieve this in one fell swoop, not only increasing his cultivation level but also completing the System Task.

"Ding: Congratulations to the host for stepping into the Second Realm of Martial Arts within seven days. The Hundredfold Talent of Comprehension is permanently solidified."

At this moment, Jiang Ming felt that a layer of shackles had been unlocked from his thoughts and spirits; they completely merged into his bloodline and imprinted on his soul.

"Ding: The host has opened the qi sea, stepped into the Second Realm of Martial Arts, and temporarily solidified the 'Soul Dominator' talent."

"Ding: Please become the Provincial Champion in the first round of the Martial Arts Test, or the 'Soul Dominator' talent will disappear."

Jiang Ming didn't pay attention and continued to open the Dantian.

As for the power that flowed back from the Dantian, he knew that this was the power of autonomous potential creation. Breaking the qi sea, opening the Dantian, and advancing the realm was actually digging out one's potential; this naturally brought out the hidden power of creation within the body, cleansing the marrow, and establishing the foundation.

Elder Tang's voice rang out again.

"When breaking through and opening the Sea of Qi, this step is crucial. The size of the Dantian space represents the strength of future potential. However, once the Sea of Qi is opened, it will solidify. Even if the Sea of Qi can continue to grow, it would not be as much as one-tenth of the time when breaking through."

"With an unyielding spirit, keep guiding the breath of Heaven and Earth to expand the Dantian until the limit is reached or the spirit becomes exhausted."

"But don't be reckless. After initially stepping into the Second Realm, the willpower of the immortal cultivator is still weak. Once the spirit is exhausted, the foundation will be injured and the future will be destroyed."

"You have to find the right balance on your own."

Elder Tang was somewhat nervous.

Jiang Ming remained still, but his eyes were tightly closed.

Above his head, there was an invisible vortex, absorbing the breath of Heaven and Earth into his body while also hearing Elder Tang's voice.

His heart stirred slightly.

His spirit was already strong, and now that he had acquired the 'Soul Dominator' talent, his spiritual power reached an immeasurable level.

Invoking the power of Heaven and Earth became easier.

With the shifting of thoughts and the spreading of consciousness, his entire body seemed to merge into Heaven and Earth.

He himself seemed to become a part of Heaven and Earth.

"This..." Elder Tang suddenly widened his eyes, revealing an incredulous expression.

"Merge into Heaven and Earth?"

"The whole body is attracting primal qi."

"It seems that his spirit has also surged."

"This transformation, this comprehension, this talent!"

"Damn it, it's really incredible!"

Elder Tang smacked his lips, and then his eyes lit up, more excited than when he saw the little beauty in the Monster Pavilion.

At this moment, Jiang Ming did not only attract primal qi from the Baihui acupoint but from all over his body. Waves of primal qi were being drawn in and infused into the Dantian.

He seemed to have turned into a black hole, devouring the energy of Heaven and Earth.

Inside the Qi Sea, as the power of Heaven and Earth entered, it was immediately assimilated into Jiang Ming's own power. Most of it merged into the Qi Sea barrier, expanding outward.

"So this is the qualitative change caused by the Soul Dominator!"

Jiang Ming also gained some insight.

Although he hadn't checked the ability of the Soul Dominator yet, he was certain that this talent was no less than the Hundredfold Comprehension, even more terrifying.

Just the initial integration allowed him to merge into Heaven and Earth, as if he could see the operation of the rules and the countless creations.

Finally, he stopped.

It was not mental fatigue, but reaching the limit in the space of his Dantian.

The sun had long since risen from the sea, casting its speckled shadows through the branches and leaves.

"Incredible, incredible!" Elder Tang couldn't help but exclaim.

Merging into Heaven and Earth?

What a terrifying talent!

Moreover, he continued to absorb the primal qi without stopping, the long duration of which amazed him.

"Jiang(author's note: surname), how far has the space in your Dantian reached?" Elder Tang couldn't help but ask, then quickly followed up, "Don't say it, don't say it. I'm afraid it'll be a blow to me."

Judging from the situation just now, the space within Dantian is at least one zhang in radius.

One zhang? Two zhang? Three zhang?

It's like going against the heavens!

"In the past, the Federation has collected information about the Powerful of the Second Realm of Martial Arts from 108 Provinces to carry out statistics. Results found that most martial artists' Dantian space was only about one chi; a person with average talent had their dantian space around two chi; and three chi represented top-notch genius. If the space in the Sea of Qi reached more than five chi, then it is of unparalleled genius; above one zhang is considered unrivaled in the world." Elder Tang explained briefly while looking at him, fully revealing an expression of admiration towards Jiang.

"Thank you, Elder!" Jiang Ming sincerely bowed in gratitude to the old man.

A Peiyuan Pill helped to make up for the shortcomings in the foundation, fully unleashing his terrifying potential.

"It's just a single elixir pill. To me, it's as simple as a meal." Elder Tang waved his hand dismissively.

"But to me, it's a stroke of luck, especially before the Martial Exam." Jiang Ming smiled and said, "My Dantian's Sea of Qi is at least two zhang!"

In fact, it was actually ten zhang.

Not an inch less.

"Two zhang? An unparalleled genius among Tianjiao(author's note: genius peers)! An unmatched talent!" Elder Tang couldn't help but gasp, saying happily, "This little guy is going to rise up."

"Elder Tang, with my current situation, can I become a Province Top Scorer?" Jiang Ming asked.

"Province Top Scorer? What are you thinking about!" Elder Tang couldn't help but laugh, "Tianzhong Province has a population of hundreds of millions, with about 800,000 people participating in the martial exam. There are so many geniuses. Even those who have reached the Third Realm of Martial Arts will appear, and you are probably not on par with them. After all, your breakthrough is too late; you haven't accumulated enough, and you don't even have a practice method. You need to have a cultivation method, a realm, and combat skills. Other than the realm, you still lack cultivation. Furthermore, you lack experience in fighting. To become a Province Top Scorer in the martial exam would be as difficult as reaching the sky, but..."

He hesitated slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's heart sank, but the word "but" caught his attention, and he couldn't help but ask, "Elder Tang, is there still a chance?"

"Yes!" Elder Tang became serious and said, "Ten Thousand Realms Tower!"

"Ten Thousand Realms Tower?"

Jiang Ming suddenly understood.

He had heard that Ten Thousand Realms Tower was a tower controlled by the City Lord Mansion. Inside the Tower, there were many World Secret Realm entrances that were temporarily solidified, and only those who had reached the Second Realm of Martial Arts were eligible to enter.

The Secret Realm was magical inside. No matter how many years had passed, it was only an hour outside.

Upon entering, one could hone their martial skills, improve their cultivation level, increase their experience, and so on. However, if one failed to meet the requirements, everything they had gained would be erased, and they could die inside.

Once dead, it was truly over.

The mortality rate was not low.

For a while, many people ventured into the Secret Realm, resulting in a staggering death rate of 40%. Later on, only those who knew their limits dared to go there.

Even now, the death rate was around 10%.

According to the statistics, only about 5% of the people could benefit from it.

Ordinary people hardly dared to venture into the World Secret Realm.

"Don't get carried away, kid!" Seeing that Jiang Ming was tempted, Elder Tang quickly stopped him, "Don't underestimate your talent and the Sea of Qi you opened! With your talent and the opened Qi Sea, your future is boundless. Although being a Provincial Champion brings great honor and benefits, it's not worth your life. Moreover, you can obtain those benefits easily in the future. If you're worried about not getting into a good martial school, I can guarantee you a spot in Central Divine Martial College."
