Chapter Fifty Restart

  “……”

  There is no sound.

  There is no sound.

  There was no response either.

  Qin Tianyi propped up his head, feeling his completely dry spiritual world, and suddenly fell silent.

  That's going too far...

  No. 2, was it forced to close down or did it collapse?

  As soon as this idea emerged in his mind, Qin Tianyi immediately felt a sharp pain in his brain, which was several times stronger than when he was forced to wake up from a deep coma.

  "It's no use... can't hold on any longer, mentally I've reached the brink of collapse, even meditation is impossible... only option is to fall into a coma and let myself recover..."

  At this point, Qin Tianyi's brain consciousness suddenly became dazed, and soon he fell into a coma on his own.

  By this slowest but safest way to recover mentally.

  ……

  There was no second reminder, Qin Tianyi had no idea what level of coma he had fallen into.

  It wasn't until three days later that he finally came to, his consciousness returning in fits and starts.

  It took him three whole days to have the basic ability to think clearly again.

  The moment he opened his eyes, Qin Tianyi clearly heard a suppressed cry of excitement.

  After a while, Qin Tianyi finally opened his eyes again after coming back to himself.

  Apart from Qin Yuyan and Qi Lingyun, the two mainstays of Yunlai Sword Sect, there were also Jiang Caiyin, Gu Cheng, Xiao Sumeng, Xue Ziying and other core disciples.

  "Tianji, how are you feeling now?"

  "It doesn't matter, I'm just a bit mentally exhausted."

  Qin Tianyi said, carefully sensed for a moment, the person had already woken up, next, just need to meditate for a few days, and the spirit would be fully recovered.

  "Tianji, you don't have to overexert yourself either. Although the sect's grand competition in half a month is important, if because of this matter, you exhaust your body and spirit, how can we be at ease?"

  Qin Yuyan said with some heartache.

  "Not bad."

  Qī Língyún nodded slightly and said, "Our Cloud Lei Sword Sect is now not what it used to be. Tiān Jī, even if you haven't cultivated to the peak of the 9th level of swordsmanship, even if you haven't become a great swordsman, the position of our Cloud Lei Sword Sect as a second-rate sect is absolutely unshakeable by any other sect."

  "Thanks for your concern, I'm fine, just need a few days' rest."

  "Tianji, three days ago Snow Bamboo Shimei told me that you fainted and scared me to death. Your cultivation over the past few months has improved too quickly, is your foundation unstable? If so, gradually slow down your cultivation speed, stabilize your foundation first, and put aside the matter of impacting the Great Sword for now."

  Jiang Caiyin, Gu Cheng, Xiao Sumeng and others also nodded in agreement: "Young Master Shao, this matter is not urgent, we still have time."

  "Not bad, our Yunlai Sword Sect is undergoing tremendous changes every day. Now everyone has grown up, and you, the young master, don't have to bear the burden of revitalizing the sect alone."

  "Talent is the foundation of everything; if there are no people, then nothing else matters."

  "Thank you everyone for your concern, I have learned a lesson from this, and it won't happen again."

  Qin Tianyi looked at several people with a warm heart and smiled in response.

  Although he actually didn't pass out for several days from intense cultivation, but... things aren't easy to explain.

  "That's good, Tianji. You've just woken up and are still weak, so rest well. We won't disturb you."

  "You all go and do your own things."

  Qin Tianyi nodded slightly.

  Finally, Qin Yuyan left Xue Zhu in charge of taking care of Qin Tianyi here, while she herself followed Qi Lingyun and the other disciples out of the room.

  "I'll rest for a while, Snow Bamboo, you go out."

  "Alright, Young Master, what do you need? Just call me anytime."

  Xue Zhu saw this and responded with a sound, then exited the room and closed the door.

  "Number two?"

  After Xue Zhu left, Qin Tianyi slightly sensed his own spiritual world and still didn't get any response.

  Shaking his head, Qin Tianyi could only temporarily put this issue aside.

  If the Second really collapsed, its impact on him would indeed be enormous. Without the Second, he would not be able to refine the Beast King Zhudao Dan, and without refining the Beast King Zhudao Dan, he would not be able to advance to the Great Swordsman realm before the official arrival of the Sect's ranking competition.

  Although Yun Lai Jian Zong has now fully possessed the strength of a second-rate sect, if he doesn't advance to the Great Swordsman realm, he still can't help but feel somewhat uneasy.

  Meditation!

  For the rest of the day, Qin Tianyi spent his time in contemplation.

  As night fell, after a day of meditation, his spirit had recovered a lot.

  "Step by step."

  A deliberately heavy footsteps came from outside the door and then, suddenly, a figure appeared in the doorway of the bedroom.

  "It seems like some have been restored."

  She glanced at Qin Tianyi in the middle of the night and spoke up.

  "Uh-huh."

  "You're really bold, if I'm not mistaken, you should be trying to forcibly peek at the appearance of the Transcendent Realm? We are now only in the Sensory Period of cultivation, and the materials from the Heavenly Man Realm are already the limit. The profound mysteries contained within the Transcendent Realm are subversive to us, and would cause an extremely severe impact on our spirits. Fortunately, you seem to have chosen to fall into a coma in time, avoiding this impact. Otherwise, your best outcome would be spiritual collapse, and from then on, you would fall into idiocy."

  "Forcefully peeking at the profound mystery beyond the boundaries..."

  In the middle of the night, Qin Tianyi didn't explain either.

  All of this was to optimize the Wàn Shèng Cháo Yuè Mì Shù, but in the process of optimizing the Wàn Shèng Cháo Yuè Mì Shù, an unknown change occurred. A new piece of information invaded No. 2, directly causing the extremely powerful No. 2 to explode.

  Qin Tianji had previously estimated that although the amount of information contained in the Wan Sheng Chao Yue secret technique was enormous, with No. 2's ability, it could still barely be parsed out.

  It's not a mysterious technique of Wan Sheng Chao Yue, but that unknown information obtained during the optimization process.

  "Shen Dao cultivation is far more perilous than Qi Dao, and any moment of inattention can lead to spiritual damage, greatly reducing one's cultivation. In severe cases, it can even result in mental collapse or the dispersal of one's soul. Since you entered the path of Shen Dao through a flawed and incomplete method, your foundation should be weaker than those from established Shen Dao sects. Therefore, it is even more crucial for you to proceed with caution and stability."

  He said, looking at Qin Tianyi: "Cultivators of the Dao are extremely rare to begin with. You've managed to reach the peak of the Sensing stage in just over a decade through a flawed technique - your talent is truly exceptional. I don't want you to die prematurely."

  Qin Tianyi had his own cultivation system and a solid foundation, but this was the other party's kind intention, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

  "I will take it one step at a time."

  "My spirit has recovered seven or eight out of ten, so I will take my leave and bid farewell."

  "Leave?"

  Qin Tianyi glanced at Yeye for a moment, he had his responsibilities, he had his mission, and it was impossible to stay in Yunlai Sword Sect forever.

  "I hope you get what you want."

  Midnight nodded: "Take care."

  "Take care."

  Seeing the midnight turn around and leave, Qin Tianyi didn't say anything, but continued to sit cross-legged, recovering his depleted spirit through meditation.

  Just as Qin Tianyi's spirit had recovered to about 50-60%, a suction force suddenly appeared in his spiritual world.

  "This is..."

  Qin Tianji's heart moved slightly.

  When No. 2 starts normally, it absorbs spiritual power from the spiritual world, which is this feeling.

  "Drip! 'Number Two' rebooting..."

  In less than an instant, a voice emerged in the spiritual realm.

  "Is it just rebooted?"

  Qin Tianji was slightly surprised in his heart, and he had never heard of the soul chip having a restart.

  It is only when the spiritual degree breaks through to the 7th-order spiritual power and the spiritual master level that there will be a significant upgrade, at which time computing power, logical ability, analytical ability, and storage capacity will all be greatly enhanced.

  After a moment of contemplation, Qin Tianyi couldn't think of a better outcome. The soul chip needed to be restarted, which naturally required more spiritual power. At this time, what he needed to do was to concentrate with all his might.

  "Hmm!?"

  Just as Qin Tianyi entered a meditative state, his consciousness returned to the spiritual world. A strange feeling suddenly emerged in his mind, and in an instant, his spirit had gathered at the center of the spiritual world.

  There, at some point in time, a piece of what looked like a broken fragment appeared.

  "Number two!?"

  Qin Tianji's heart skipped a beat.

  Soul chip, what is soul chip?

  The soul chip, strictly speaking, is a segment of peculiar spiritual fluctuations. These fluctuations are stored through special methods, establishing a database that connects with an individual's spirit. It can absorb the host's spirit and experiences to perfect and evolve itself, gradually possessing powerful analytical capabilities.

  Therefore, logically speaking, the soul chip is essentially intangible and invisible. Qin Tianyi had never heard of anyone who could see their own soul chip with their own eyes.

  But at this moment...

  Appearing in Qin Tianyi's spiritual world is a piece of cyan debris.

  A piece severely damaged, as if it had gone through countless storms and vicissitudes of life.

  On this fragment, countless flower patterns were faintly engraved, filled with a sense of mystery and intrigue, making one want to explore further. However, when Qin Tianji truly focused his attention on it, it became blurry, as if they were just some completely meaningless scribbles without any research value.

  On that fragment, a hint of greenness was swirling around, and surprisingly, a small tender bud with a closed calyx appeared, and a faintly visible split-out young leaf could be seen.

  The dark green roots stretched down, as if inserted into the fragments, entwined and combined with the entire fragment, inseparable, as if there was something extremely rich in nutrients within that piece of fragment, providing nourishment for the growth of that patch of green.

  This fragment and that green tender bud seem to exist in Qin Tianyi's spiritual world, but when Qin Tianyi carefully uses his spirit to sense them, they seem to not exist in this space-time at all. Elusive and unpredictable, mysterious and strange, even if Qin Tianyi unleashes a spiritual storm in his spiritual world, it still can't shake them in the slightest.

  "Is it an illusion or a substance? The brain is the most mysterious organ in the human body. If there was something material inside, it would definitely cause abnormality to the body, and I should have noticed something unusual. But now, there's nothing out of the ordinary, which means this fragment, this small sprout, exists in a non-material way?"

  Qin Tianyi slightly furrowed his brow.

  At this time, he was already able to determine that this thing was absolutely not Soul Chip No. 2!

  If it wasn't "Number Two", why would he suddenly appear in his spiritual world?

  Just as Qin Tianyi was deep in thought, the voice of "Number Two" finally echoed again in the spiritual world.

  "Ding! Soul Chip 'Number Two' reboot complete, host Qin Tianyi, happy to serve you. The current time is... Ding! Data error, recalculating! Ding! The current time is 4th Cataclysm 7712 Yuan 9 Hui 28 Yun 6 Shi 18 year 6 month 14 day, 2nd moment... Ding! Data error! The current time is AD 4133, September 21st, 13:27:16... Ding! Data error! Data error! Self-test in progress! Self-test failed! Please host, correct the time again!"

  "Ding! Taskbar task: Analysis of 'Wàn Shèng Cháo Yuè Mì Shù' is complete, start optimization?"

  "Ding! The skill does not have optimization value, there is a skill of the same nature in the database that can be covered. Do you want to cover it? If you need to continue optimizing, please confirm!"
