Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 67 - Spirit Sense?

Lin Wu wanted to continue looking at the list in detail but unfortunately, the events happening in the outside world made it so that he wanted to be ready for any potential danger. 

He looked outside through the connection that he had with Shirong and saw that he, his two companions, and the guards were currently being taken to the inside of the city. They went through a certain formation array that was set up in the gateway of the city and shone on them while they walked in it.

Even Lin Wu could feel the probe of the formation and felt strange about it.

"Humph!" Shirong grunted lightly and then secretly gestured with his fingers.

A transparent barrier had covered his body the moment the probing of the formation happened and whatever it was trying to do to him was unable to be accomplished.

'Huh, what was that?' Lin Wu wondered. 

He too had sensed the formation doing something and has also seen Shirong creating a barrier.

"System what just happened?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The formation array was placing a certain kind of tracing formation on Shirong which was then stopped by his own barrier.

——

"Huh, a tracing formation? Seems like the people that run this city are either suspicious of him or maybe they just do it to everyone that enters the city. Either way isn't this a big privacy violation? Pretty much like a 'modern world tech conglomerate' like behavior…" Lin Wu said.

Lin Wu saw that while the formation was being placed on Shirong the other people had not reacted, which meant that they were in the blind about it as well. 

"System is the formation hard to detect? Why have the others not sensed it?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: For the system, it is very basic to be able to sense the formation but for the cultivators, it may be quite difficult. According to the system's estimate, they would need to have a spirit sense that was strong enough to be able to sense the formation and even better skills to actually be able to stop it.

——

Lin Wu was reminded of the concept called spirit sense. He had of course heard about it and read about it in the countless cultivation novels of his past, but this was his actual first experience with it. He had seen the spirit sense being shown in the systems information windows but had only seen it on the dead cultivators till now.

He wondered if he could use it too, and what the method for it could be. 

"System, how can I obtain spirit sense of my own?" Lin Wu questioned with interest while taking another look outside in the real world.

Seeing that nothing special was happening for now and that they were all simply walking, Lin Wu decided to continue inquiring the system.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: Spirit sense is one of the most basic skills of a cultivator. According to the data that the system has analyzed and the one that was directly obtained from the data nodes, spirit sense can be obtained by using the spirit qi to make spirit qi tendrils.

This process is called as the spirit sense refinement and is usually only possible for the cultivators that are in the late stage of the qi refining realm and above. But from system's own analysis, this is not completely true, and it is actually possible to refine spirit sense in the early stage of the qi refining realm as well.

The reason behind cultivators unable to refine the spirit sense lies in their cultivation technique. The methods to refine spirit sense are mentioned in the cultivation techniques that they practice, and they can differ in effectiveness and difficulty.

The system can devise a simplified method from the data obtained, and the host can use that method to refine the spirit sense.

Note: The system cannot refine the spirit sense for the host, as it is a manual process and its control fully depends on the host itself. If the Host wants though, system can refine a secondary spirit sense that can be used by the system. If more data is obtained and data banks are updated, the system can analyze and devise improved methods as well.

——

Lin Wu took a while to read and understand the response of the system. It was quite a long one and detailed as well. 

'Hmm, so it's like this, huh? Even if I don't have a cultivation technique, I can still cultivate and so it's good that I can still refine my own spirit sense.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"Alright! System, give me the method to refine spirit sense, I want to learn it myself." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

NOTIFICATION: Should the system start the analysis of the data to devise a spirit sense refinement method? Y/N.

NOTE: This process will require the computational A.I and the system energy will be used.

——

"How much energy will it require?" Lin Wu questioned.

After the past few changes in the system's different storages, Lin Wu wanted to be sure of how much he used up in each task. He didn't want to give permission for something that may evidently drain all of his Henry and leave him helpless in the face of the danger.

~Ding~

——

NOTIFICATION: The system energy will be continually used until the analysis is complete. 

NOTE: The host can also pause the analysis process, and it will not be lost. This will also halt the utilization of the system energy.

——

~Phew~

After seeing the system's answer, Lin Wu was relieved and felt that this was much better.

'If it's like this, then it shouldn't be a problem.' Lin Wu thought.

"Alright, system go ahead and start the analysis process." Lin Wu permitted.

~Ding~

——

PERMISSION GRANTED: Starting data analysis for devising Spirit sense refinement technique.

COMPUTATIONAL A.I.: Activated.

TIME REQUIRED: Not defined.

——

"Now to just wait and watch, hopefully it is done soon." Lin Wu said and looked at the Host data.

"What the fuuuuuu…"
