Chapter 491: Chapter 24 Unusual Intimacy
At the Qi Refining and God Transformation Fifth Stage, when the Spiritual Body appeared, Wang Sheng “saw” the ocean of the universal rules.
According to the Planet Will, it was actually the ocean of the Starry Sky Rules.
At that time, he seemed to be close to the Starry Sky Rules, but in reality, he was separated by countless distances.
Even under such circumstances, Wang Sheng still gained tremendous benefits. According to the rules of the starry sky, he not only made his Divine Ability Martial Techniques even more powerful, but the simulation in his Spirit World also became more realistic.
Now that the Spiritual Body had transformed into the Primordial Spirit, he was even closer to the rules.
This closeness was not just in terms of distance but more importantly, understanding.
The understanding of the Starry Sky Rules.
His Primordial Spirit felt the rules of the starry sky, continually filling its own voids and perfecting its Divine Ability Martial Techniques.
This step was almost the same as last time with the Spiritual Body, only the effects were incomparable with the past.
With his understanding of the Starry Sky Rules deepening, Wang Sheng said to himself, “Souls change through generations but the Primordial Spirit remains true forever!”
This is the secret to the long life of the Inner Core Skill.
The Primordial Spirit connecting with the rules will greatly enhance lifespan.
If the Spiritual Body represents the soul, which is utterly acquired, then the Primordial Spirit is from acquired back to innate.
The essence of the Primordial Spirit is innately divine.
This tremendous qualitative change was also the fundamental reason why the Primordial Spirit was closer to the rules.
Rules are born innately.
If Primordial Spirit transformed into the innate, its essence would naturally be more aligned and could utilize more power.
At the same time, Wang Sheng had a revelation.
“Rules exist eternally!”
Whether one gains power through proper cultivation or unorthodox methods, the fact that it can be obtained at all proves it’s part of the rules.
“Have all those countless novels from my past life, where characters transcend or even crush the rules, truly existed?”
The more he contacted the rules, the more he understood.
Gaining power was allowed by the rules, so how could one truly transcend them?
However, Wang Sheng quickly shook his head.
“Perhaps it’s just that my realm isn’t high enough?”
He stopped pondering this issue, for now he wanted to reap rewards.
“Stop thinking about these things, I can’t fathom them yet, better digest what’s before me first.”
Using his Primordial Spirit to analyze the rules, his gains this time would be substantial.
And he also had a feeling in the mysterious disconnect—
“I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but within the rules, there seem to be a few I am even closer to…”
Rules are formless; the rules in the hearts of those who see the natural order will manifest in whatever form they imagine.
However, this so-called manifestation is not real.
It’s merely the exposition of the Tao, much like the projection of the Five Internal Gods.
In Wang Sheng’s heart, the rules are a series of chains, a series of rivers.
In front of his Primordial Spirit, he saw interwoven chains and rivers with no visible ends.
Among them, a few chains seemed to have an unusual affinity for him.
Under the state of the Primordial Spirit, this feeling represented opportunity.
“Let the Primordial Spirit get closer first, then try to comprehend!”
Wang Sheng did not hesitate; leveraging this feeling of closeness, he began to approach what seemed to be non-existent rules.
The moment he got closer, he felt something stir inside him.
“Destruction, virtual, space…”
These seemed to be unrelated words, but he associated them instantly with himself.
“The closest is destruction; whether it’s my Qi-Blood or my momentum, both carry the traits of destruction, followed by virtual, which represents the spiritual virtual in the Spirit World, and finally space, which essentially represents my understanding of the universe, and then his fragmented things…”
All these insights were indeed his own.
And exactly because of this, he became more puzzled.
“Something’s not right, very not right. How could it be the rules that are close to me, instead of me being close to the rules?”
If it were other rules or paths, he could explain it as these paths being more suitable for him.
But it just happened that these paths are the very aspects he comprehended deeply.
“I am the one who comprehends, logically speaking, I should be closer to these higher rules and paths, not the other way around… or is my judgment wrong?”
Being closer to the rules, the Primordial Spirit could also perceive more secrets.
Wang Sheng felt that he might have glimpsed some incredible secrets this time.
Buoyed by boldness, he desired to delve further.
Yet even in the state of the Primordial Spirit, he found it difficult to continue exploring.
Progress was still ongoing, however.
Exposed under the rules, his Primordial Spirit would carry on improving on its own.
“Pity that I can’t go any deeper, what exactly is this strange feeling, or is it that the universal Starry Sky Rules are just so in this world?”
This was also his first time practicing with no prior experience.
Everything was mere conjecture based on known information.
For instance, the thought that “it should be me who is close to the rules” stemmed from the information he gathered using his Primordial Spirit after entering the Primordial Spirit Stage, not baseless assumptions.
Yet he discovered nothing, hence he doubted such information.
“Let it be, just fully improve for now. If there really are any secrets, they’ll hopefully become clear once my strength is greater!”
Having sorted out his thoughts, Wang Sheng no longer cared about this matter.
Instead, he utilized this closeness to elevate himself.
Once the Breakthrough was complete, his understanding of destruction, spiritual virtual, and space would make significant progress—these were easily deducible.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when he felt a repulsion.
“Is it time already?”
This state was meant as a “benefit” после breakthrough, not meant to last forever.
Nevertheless, Wang Sheng wasn’t disappointed; his gains this time had been substantial enough!
After another short contemplation, the feeling of rejection strengthened, even affecting his sudden inspiration; he knew there was no need to stay any longer!
So he actively mobilized his Primordial Spirit, using his physical body as an anchor, and began to return.
His return was merely a moment, and in this moment, the Starry Sky Rules also began to dissipate.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng sensed something.
“These Starry Sky Rules…”
Unfortunately, this unusual perception only lasted a short while because these rules were already dispersing.
Thus, he returned to the real world.
Back in the real world, that strange feeling had completely disappeared.
It seemed to have been just an illusion.
He knew there were certainly unknown things, but since he had already left, it was indeed hard to explore further; therefore, he shifted his focus to the progress he had made this time.

“This progress is not small… But as predicted, space and spiritual virtual made the greatest advances…”
