The Place Where Everything Begins

Some minutes later...

A black-cloaked man was seen to be sitting cross-legged at the left-back corner inside the tutorial chamber...

The person was none other than Jeremy, who sat at the same place when he accessed the Mindful Body Realm the last time.

Regarding why he was currently sitting there in a cross-legged position, it was obviously because he wanted to do meditation...

To be frank, Jeremy wanted to reaccess the Mindful Body Realm to replenish his mana. But unfortunately, his sea of consciousness was a mess right now due to the earlier memory extraction from his own soul.

Consequently, that led to his mind power become pretty lacking and not stable enough to maintain the 'beyond technique' or realm.

The most Jeremy could do right now was only entering the 10th stage of meditation and trying to mend his sea of consciousness as fast as possible.

Undoubtedly, he sat here now, at the same old corner, because that purpose... to recover his sea of consciousness back into original shape.

'Wait, before that...'

Having thought so, the inscription on Jeremy's left glove started glowing with light...

After almost ten seconds, an unpitched, black tent appeared on the ground. Without further ado, Jeremy set up the tent on the spot.

After all, he had learned his lesson because he sat on the cold cave-like ground for a long time the last time. As a result, when Jeremy stood up, he had to walk with difficulty after that.

Not long after, a black tent was set up completely. Then Jeremy went inside and brought out a cushion from his left glove before putting it on the tent's floor.

Afterward, he sat down on the cushion in a cross-legged position before closing his eyes shut.

Soon after, Jeremy drifted into the meditation state, preparing to mend and heal his sea of consciousness.

The process of recovering one's sea of consciousness wasn't hard at all...

That was... if the said person was a high-level mage.

For a reason, if a mage wanted to access their own sea of consciousness, they had to achieve class 3 or 4 of the mage pathway at the very least.

That simply meant if they could not enter it, how could they even repair it in the first place, right?

Consequently, one's sea of consciousness shouldn't be broken or damaged before the person had reached a very high level and gained access into their sea of consciousness.

But if a low-class mage had their sea of consciousness damaged?

Like that, the mage could only rely on 'time' for their sea of consciousness to heal itself. Even though it might be very slow, time would eventually cure it one way or another...

What about the mage who had already gained access into their own sea of consciousness like Jeremy then?

It's simple...

Currently, Jeremy was doing just that as he was within a 'dark' world filled with countless particles of 'energy' flying here and there.

The said 'energy' particles were not only in the form of mana; there were also other energy particles such as qi, aura, curse, spiritual, natural, various elements, and many more.

Regarding other energy particles in the air, Jeremy could only 'feel' them lightly and vaguely but was unable to do anything to them at all...

Well, with the only exception of space, fire, and darkness element particles; but that was a topic for later...

As for the mana, Jeremy had absorbed the purest mana particle in existence ever since he was on Earth around two months ago, causing him to also have an affinity with mana.

Unfortunately, he couldn't attract those mana particles into his body at all, for the whirlpools within his dantians were of the highest quality, so they couldn't draw in such low-quality mana from the atmosphere, no matter how hard he tried.

At this moment, Jeremy 'felt' like he was floating silently within a dark space with mana particles flying all around him, but he could not attract them into his 'floating' body at all.

Afterward, Jeremy closed his virtual eyes and focused his mind... to be exact, he willed his mind to connect to his own 'soul' situated within the sea of consciousness.

After willing and focusing his mind for some time, Jeremy finally felt a vague sense of connection from somewhere within the dark space. Then his virtual body started flying in that direction swiftly.

*Whoosh*

A split second later, Jeremy's virtual eyes, which were closing tightly until now, finally felt some light from the surroundings laid on them. So, Jeremy opened his virtual eyes slowly...

'Alright, I'm back inside my sea of consciousness again. By the way... I have to repair those cracks, huh... What a tiring job.'

Jeremy thought bitterly after he came inside his sea of consciousness and saw the cracks were still there with only some differences in them.

The differences were that over time, some cracks had been meagerly 'mended' by his 'subconscious mind', so the cracks appeared to be a bit smaller than before.

After all, within one's sea of consciousness, time passed by very fast... faster than anyone could imagine. That's why some cracks had already shown signs of closing up...

'Hmm... Where to start?'

Jeremy thought wonderingly after looking around the land, sky, pond, and protective layer.

Finally, after turning his head around here and there for a bit more, Jeremy suddenly spotted a big crack on the protective layer.

'That one should be the biggest. Let me start with it then...'

Having thought so, Jeremy controlled his virtual body to fly towards the crack, which was more than one hundred meters away from his current position.

After all, his sea of consciousness had an area of more than 14 acres. That meant if the pond were situated at the exact center of Jeremy's sea of consciousness, the distance or radius between the pond and the protective layer around the land and sky area would be more than 130 meters.

Currently, Jeremy had already reached in front of the big crack...

The crack appeared to be opaque white in color, extending from the ground all the way to the high sky.

Then without any delay, Jeremy extended his virtual palm to touch the crack...

*Whoong*

*Whoong*

Like magic, after being touched by Jeremy's palm, the protective barrier pulsated like it was coming to life as a whole.

Afterward, the giant crack suddenly had some changes as the crack's edge started closing up bit by bit.

The process was relatively slow, but it was still noticeable...

Little by little...

From the big crack, it started becoming smaller and smaller with the passing of time.

Around five minutes later, the crack was ultimately nowhere to be seen anymore as it had entirely disappeared from the protective layer of Jeremy's sea of consciousness.

After seeing the biggest crack had finally vanished from the layer's surface, Jeremy retracted his virtual palm from the pulsating layer.

*Whoong*

*Whoong*

The pulsating protective layer, which seemed to be alive until a moment ago, promptly stopped its drumming pulsation...

*Fwuu...*

Jeremy let out a virtual breath of cold air and then turned his head towards a crack on his right side...

'This one is not that big...'

Having thought so, Jeremy proceeded on with the healing of his sea of consciousness...
