628: Chapter 628 Mental Power Attribute!!

His field of vision widened, his perception grew sharper, and his thoughts became clearer.

The surrounding world became more three-dimensional and richer in his eyes.

At the same time, many subtleties of Mental Energy application appeared in his mind out of thin air.

For instance, Mental Energy voice transmission, sensing the good or evil in others, and Mental Energy manifestation...

"However, why is my Mental Energy of the darkness attribute?"

Qin Yan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat perplexed.

He activated his Mental Energy, his consciousness sinking into that invisible spirit world.

Suddenly, an invisible ripple emerged out of thin air behind him!

The ripple was invisible to the naked eye, but those with keen perception would surely notice the strange aura in the air—chilly, gloomy, and profound, like a midnight abyss that sent shivers down one's spine.

Immediately, streaks of dark, eerie, and profound aura spread out around him!

Like ink dripping into clear water, these auras diffused rapidly, dyeing the surrounding air with a layer of gloomy color.

The darkness attribute.

Every Cultivator awakens a Mental Energy attribute after their Mental Energy reaches two hundred Hertz.

This is the first qualitative change in Mental Energy Cultivation and a crucial step in determining the future direction of one's Mental Energy development.

Mental Energy attributes are varied and bizarre.

Some awaken natural attributes—such as the lightning attribute; after Awakening, their Mental Energy inherently carries the power of lightning, allowing them to summon heavenly thunder with their thoughts, possessing immense destructive power.

Another example is the fire attribute; after Awakening, the Mental Energy becomes like a raging fire that burns everything, providing a unique advantage in Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

Others awaken object attributes—like Yin Li, who awakened the Heavenly Sound Zither Soul, where her Mental Energy transforms into an ancient zither; with the plucking of its strings, sonic blades are unleashed simultaneously, integrating offense and defense in a mysterious and unpredictable way.

Then there is Su Qingwan, who awakened the calligraphy and painting attribute; every stroke holds a hidden mystery, and her power of suppression is unrivaled among her peers.

Some even awaken Divine Beast attributes—for instance, some awaken the Azure Dragon spirit or the White Tiger Soul, where their Mental Energy transforms into the phantom of a Divine Beast, possessing peerless pressure.

"Is it because I have a large amount of Darkness Profundity in my body that my Mental Energy attribute transformed into the darkness attribute?"

Qin Yan's brow furrowed slightly as he speculated to himself.

If one were to ask what was most abundant in his body, it was undoubtedly Darkness Profundity.

As for how much—Qin Yan himself wasn't sure, only knowing it was at least more than one-tenth.

One-tenth might not sound like much, but when applied to something at the level of a Profound Truth, it was practically an astronomical figure.

One must know that a Profound Truth is a direct manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, a supreme power that transcends Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, and spirit weapons.

For an ordinary Martial Artist, obtaining even one-ten-thousandth of a Profound Truth in their entire life would be considered a stroke of immense luck.

Yet, within his body, a vast amount of Darkness Profundity lay dormant.

"Forget it, if it's the darkness attribute, then so be it; Awakening Darkness Profundity isn't a bad thing for me."

Darkness Profundity is ranked among the seven great Profound Truths, and its power is naturally incredibly formidable.

In fact, every Cultivator who can awaken a powerful Mental Energy attribute is bestowed with the title of "Mental Energy Prodigy."

Qin Yan could actually be called a Mental Energy Prodigy now.

However, he was a special kind of Prodigy—his Mental Energy attribute was indeed powerful, but his Cultivation speed was simply too slow.

The issue of slow Mental Energy Cultivation was also giving Qin Yan a bit of a headache.

He was still thinking about condensing a physical golden body, a Mental Energy golden body, and a Qi Refining golden body, then merging the three into one to condense a Supreme Golden Body in one fell swoop.

He could keep up with the progress of Qi Refining and Body Refining, but he was truly at a loss when it came to Mental Energy.

Mental Energy Cultivation is different from Qi Refining and Body Refining; he had no Cultivation Technique and could only rely on his own insights.

Since he awakened the darkness attribute, if he wanted to improve his Mental Energy, he had to comprehend darkness—sequestering himself in gloomy, silent, and isolated dark places to advance steadily step by step.

This was too difficult for Qin Yan.

He didn't have that much time.

"Fortunately, I have Darkness Profundity to comprehend."

Thinking of this, Qin Yan's Mental Energy sank into the Blood Demon Nest within his body.

Above the demon nest, a massive demonic qi black hole rotated slowly, emitting a suffocating pressure.

Above the demonic qi black hole, chains condensed from Darkness Profundity floated in the air, crisscrossing in a dense formation.

These chains were pitch black like ink, each as thick as an arm, with a gloomy luster flowing over their surfaces.

Upon the chains, dense runes were faintly visible, sometimes lighting up and sometimes dimming, flickering rhythmically like breathing.

These runes were not man-made but were direct manifestations of the rules—the embodiment of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, the condensation of the essence of darkness.

Every rune contained profound and unfathomable principles.

Even just staring at them for a moment, one could feel the majestic power contained within.

These dark chains completely sealed off the Devilish Qi within Qin Yan's body, preventing it from leaking.

It was precisely their presence that prevented the Devilish Qi inside Qin Yan from being detected by outsiders.

Otherwise, with the massive reserves of Devilish Qi in his body, he would have long been discovered by the powerhouses of the Taixuan Holy Land.

Qin Yan closed his eyes to feel, his Mental Energy gradually immersing into the dark chains.

Initially, his Mental Energy only wandered over the surface of the chains, feeling that cold, gloomy touch.

Gradually, he relaxed his mind, letting his Mental Energy seep inward bit by bit along the patterns of the runes on the chains.

It was a marvelous sensation.

Like a drop of water slowly merging into the ocean.

The next moment—

The scene before Qin Yan's eyes changed abruptly.

He seemed to have arrived in a world of nothing but darkness.

Looking around, in all directions—up, down, left, and right—there was only darkness.

It wasn't ordinary darkness—not the darkness of the night, nor the darkness deep within a cave.

This was a pure, absolute darkness, devoid of any Impurities.

No light, no sound, no wind, and no aura of any living creature. It was as if the world had not yet opened and Chaos had not yet divided, leaving only endless void and silence.

But within this darkness, Qin Yan could sense something indescribable.

That was the aura of the "Dao."

The essence of darkness, the source of darkness, the ultimate principle of why darkness is darkness.

It was profound, vast, and boundless.

Like an endless ocean, or a bottomless abyss.

In this world, Qin Yan could clearly feel his Mental Energy improving bit by bit.

That improvement was not forced or strained, but natural and effortless.

His dark Mental Energy also became more eerie and profound during this process.
