Chapter 251: Opportunities Everywhere in the Ocean

How could Su Wen not understand what Fighting Heaven Douluo was talking about?

Unlike Yu Xiaogang, Su Wen's research into theory wouldn't stop at his current level. He was also very interested in the cultivation of Spirit Saints, Spirit Douluos, and even Titled Douluos. He had asked many powerful individuals at these levels and had read summaries of cultivation experiences and techniques from various major forces.

How could he not know about the power of heaven and earth?

However, saying that Spirit Saints can grasp the power of heaven and earth isn't entirely accurate. The use of the power of heaven and earth by Spirit Saints isn't that obvious.

When a Spirit Saint uses the power of heaven and earth, they are merely influencing the external vital energy with Soul Power, making it easier to use Spirit Skills. Coupled with the Martial Spirit True Body, which naturally increases the speed and effectiveness of Spirit Skill execution, this combination creates the significant difference in power between a Spirit Saint and Spirit Emperor.

When one reaches the level of Spirit Douluo, a Spirit Master can begin to simply manipulate external vital energy for their own use, enhancing their Spirit Skills. By the time they reach Titled Douluo, this manipulation can truly be called Control.

Su Wen mastered the technique of Control with his Second Spirit Skill when he obtained his second Spirit Ring. This is one of the key factors that make his power far surpass that of Spirit Masters at the same level. However, he had never considered thinking in the direction of using Conceptual Design to manipulate heaven and earth energy.

Now that he has gained some insight, he realizes that the two can be combined.

"At least for now, it seems that the two methods of manipulating heaven and earth energy, or rather, the three methods, can be combined," Su Wen thought. He wasn't sure if the form of his Second Spirit Skill counted as one of the ways Spirit Masters manipulate heaven and earth energy after becoming Spirit Saints. But there was no doubt that his Second Spirit Skill and the Conceptual Design manipulation could complement and enhance each other.

Even if they can't be combined, it actually means that the two methods that can't be combined are essentially the same, and mastering it early is not a loss.

Fighting Heaven Douluo listened to Su Wen and found his explanation very reasonable, nodding in agreement.

"You might not understand what Conceptual Design is, but if I use different words, you'll get it. You can think of it as a feeling. For example, the Conceptual Design of fire is essentially the feeling that fire gives you. If you perceive it as explosive, then you should memorize that explosive feeling. Once you've grasped it, when you use fire Spirit Skills in the future, with the help of the Conceptual Design, you can merge the surrounding heaven and earth energy into it, enhancing the explosive sensation of the fire."

As Su Wen explained, Hai Da was the first to nod, indicating that he understood.

"In fact, Hai Da already has a Conceptual Design, which could be called the Ocean Conceptual Design. This Conceptual Design influences vital energy, allowing him to fight on the Continent as if he were in the ocean, and it also influences the vital energy to affect his enemies."

The Death God Domain works similarly, using killing intent as a foundation to influence a surrounding area, solidifying the killing intent to intimidate enemies and boost oneself.

Su Wen silently added in his heart.

"But, Master Wen, how should we gain this understanding?"

Su Wen smiled at the sailors and said, "Visualization Method."

"Visualization Method?"

"I've made the Visualization Method available in the Study Realm. You can go there to try it. If you haven't opened the Sea of Consciousness, that's one thing, but if you have, you can choose your visualization target on your own, meaning you can deliberately attempt to visualize a specific Conceptual Design."

The sailors were all excited. They knew about the Visualization Method but had stopped experimenting with it after trying it out. Now, after hearing everything Su Wen said, they were itching to give it another try.

Hai Da, however, had already communicated with the Spirit Seal and entered the Study Realm, arriving at the Visualization Method Inheritance Space.

This was a space of clarity and calm that Su Wen had created for the inheritance of the Visualization Method. It was a kind of Conceptual Design itself, helping the inheritors to quickly quiet their minds, find that sense of clarity, and use it as the basis for visualization, thereby completing the condensation of Spiritual Power.

Afterward, you can use this foundation to freely visualize whatever you want to focus on.

Currently, there are many Spirit Masters on the Continent who have successfully cultivated the Visualization Method. Although Spirit Masters with a Spiritual attribute who have opened the Sea of Consciousness are rare, they do exist. Moreover, Spirit Masters with the Spiritual attribute generally have high levels of Soul Power, making visualization relatively easy for them.

However, there are very few Spirit Masters who have successfully visualized their unique Visualization Method. Of course, some have achieved this.

Su Wen even knows of a Spiritual attribute Spirit Master who, in just one month of visualization, managed to visualize the prototype of his Storm Visualization Method. He then projected this Storm Visualization Method into the Visualization Method Inheritance Space, providing more options for wind attribute Spirit Masters to attempt the Visualization Method.

This Spirit Master is Yun Fei, the Dean of Godwind Academy, and the first beneficiary of Yun Fei's Storm Visualization Method projection is Feng Xiaotian of Godwind Academy.

In the midst of the silent and empty space, under the influence of a Conceptual Design that inexplicably calmed the mind, Hai Da quickly quieted his thoughts and began to sense the pervasive Conceptual Design of clarity around him.

It seemed that because he had already grasped the Ocean Conceptual Design during his exploration of the sea, he found it surprisingly easy to begin the Visualization Method. Within just one day, he had reached the threshold.

After reaching this threshold and finding the state of visualization, he no longer focused on the clarity Conceptual Design. Instead, under Su Wen's guidance, he began to comprehend the Ocean Conceptual Design inherent within himself.

In just three days, Hai Da completed his visualization. His Spiritual Power condensed and took shape, and the perfected Ocean Conceptual Design allowed his Visualization Method to directly advance to the small success Realm. With this internal and external harmony, he successfully opened his Sea of Consciousness.

Besides Hai Da, ten out of the fifteen sailors also touched the threshold of visualization. Having spent years navigating the sea with their spirits highly tense, their sensitivity was exceptionally sharp under the influence of the clarity Conceptual Design.

Su Wen also collected their information, recorded these findings, and added them to the archives of Wisdom Palace as techniques for beginners in the Visualization Method.

Of course, he also added a reminder, noting that one should not remain overly tense for extended periods and should proceed within their limits.

Out of the fifteen sailors, ten found their sense for the Visualization Method, while the remaining five, knowing that they, as Sea Spirit Masters who had spent years roaming the ocean, had a natural talent for it, were determined not to give up.

Among the ten sailors who found their sense, five adapted to the state of comprehending the Conceptual Design within ten days. One of them successfully captured the core of the clarity Conceptual Design after half a month, fully mastering the basics of the Visualization Method.

Over the following month, five sailors successfully completed the initiation process, while among the remaining ten, five adapted to the state, and five managed to enter the state successfully.

During this month, the Pioneer encountered more than ten storms. Under Su Wen's guidance, Hai Da worked on understanding the Storm Conceptual Design to refine his Ocean Conceptual Design. Su Wen himself continued to contemplate the natural Conceptual Designs he experienced in the ocean.

Fighting Heaven Douluo also took the opportunity to sense the essence of storms while battling natural disasters and storms.

This voyage unexpectedly turned into an opportunity. How common are storms on the sea?

For Su Wen and Fighting Heaven Douluo, only storms of a certain scale could bring them significant insights. But for Hai Da and the other sailors, any storm could be beneficial.

"You don't need to maintain the formation; I'll handle it," Su Wen told the sailors, instructing them to focus on their primary task of navigating the ship without worrying about the storms.
