Chapter 178 Breaking the Mental Power Restriction
Chen Lie nodded and waited outside the "Shaanxi First Building" hotel.
Not long after, a blue superboat landed in the plaza outside the hotel.
The hatch of the blue superboat opened, and a man stepped off.
Upon seeing Shen Miaowei, the man immediately walked over quickly.
"Miss Miaowei, Mr. Shen sent me to pick you up. Please come with me onto the airship."
Shen Miaowei nodded and said, "This is my friend, she's coming with me."
The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Lie and instantly realized that this man must also be a top genius from the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi. So he didn't dare to be negligent and immediately said, "Then please come aboard the superboat."
Chen Lie nodded and boarded the superboat with Shen Miaowei.
The superboat took off and sped toward the Association of Divine Mentors of the Inner Province.
Just about ten minutes later, the superboat landed on the ground. The man driving the superboat immediately opened the cabin door and got off the superboat, eagerly gesturing for Chen Lie and Shen Miaowei to get off.
"Miss Miaowei, President Shen has already joined the Divine Sense Master Association. You can contact him after you join."
"I see."
Shen Miaowei nodded, then turned to Chen Lie and said, "Mr. Chen Lie, the activities inside must have already started. Shall we go in now?"
Let's go!
Chen Lie nodded and went with Shen Miaowei to the Guannei Province Divine Sense Master Association.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Divine Sense Master Association, they were immediately stopped by someone.
"The Divine Sense Master Association is conducting internal reorganization and will not be open to the public today."
Shen Miaowei took out her Divine Sense Master certificate and handed it to the guard at the door, saying, "We are Divine Sense Masters, here to participate in the event."
The guard took the Divine Sense Master certificate, glanced at it, and then immediately returned it to Shen Miaowei.
"Please come in."
Shen Miaowei accepted the Divine Sense Master certificate and put it away. Then she and Chen Lie entered the gate of the Divine Sense Master Association together.
Inside the lobby of the Divine Mind Masters Association, many people were walking back and forth.
Chen Lie and Shen Miaowei walked around inside and looked around.
"The people here should all be Divine Sense Masters, but I wonder how many of them have reached the advanced level."
As Shen Miaowei walked and talked, she suddenly heard a voice calling her name.
"Sister Wei, over here!"
Chen Lie turned his head and saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen waving.
"Feixue? What are you doing here?"
Shen Miaowei turned around and saw the girl calling her name, and couldn't help but ask.
The girl smiled and said, "I came with my dad."
"You haven't even passed the apprentice Divine Sense Master exam yet, why would Fourth Uncle bring you to a place like this?"
"He didn't want to bring me along at first, but I kept pestering him until he agreed to bring me."
"I see."
Shen Miaowei nodded, then said to Chen Lie, "Mr. Chen Lie, this is my younger sister, Shen Feixue. You should still remember her, right?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "I remember."
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Shen Feixue was somewhat surprised to see Chen Lie.
"Feixue, I warned you before not to be rude to Mr. Chen Lie, did you ignore me?"
Shen Miaowei glared at Shen Feixue.
"Where was I being rude? Wasn't this just normal conversation?" Shen Feixue said. After being given a gag order by the authorities, Shen Feixue also realized Chen Lie's potential in the field of mental power.
To be honest, she knew that the Shen family couldn't afford to offend such a genius.
But she subconsciously looked down on people from impoverished backgrounds.
Not only Chen Lie, but even Ji Lingxuan, who was always touted as having a humble background in Yunchuan Province, was considered by her to be lucky to be born in a martial arts era where everyone could practice martial arts. Otherwise, how could she possibly step on the heads of a family that had been passed down for hundreds of years?
At that moment, a man around forty years old walked over.
"Miaowei, you're here?"
"Fourth Uncle!"
Upon seeing the man, Shen Miaowei immediately introduced him to Chen Lie: "Mr. Chen Lie, this is my fourth uncle, Feixue's father, named Shen Huajie, the president of Lingfeng Group."
"Fourth Uncle, this is my friend, Chen Lie."
Shen Huajie said to Chen Lie, "Oh? Miaowei's friend, then she must be an outstanding person from the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Hello, classmate Chen Lie."
Chen Lie nodded and replied, "Hello, President Shen."
After the two greeted each other, Shen Miaowei asked, "Fourth Uncle, why did the Guannei Province Divine Sense Master Association suddenly hold such an event?"
"They even sent you an invitation a few days ago?"
Shen Huajie said, "It's not just me; the renowned high-level spiritual masters in the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi have all received invitations from the spiritual master associations of the provinces within the pass."
The specific reason seems to be that the Guannei Province Divine Psychic Association obtained a magical artifact for cultivating spiritual power from outer space, which can assist people in cultivating spiritual power.
However, this treasure has a powerful spiritual restriction that seals its power.
The Guannei Province Spiritual Masters Association invited spiritual masters from eight provinces to come here specifically to unlock the seal on this extraterrestrial spiritual artifact.
"What kind of restriction is so difficult to break?" Shen Miaowei asked.
"It's probably a restriction set up by a master of extraterrestrial divine sense. It's impossible to break it by brute force. The only way is to combine the wisdom of many people and use techniques to break it."
Therefore, this time, the Guannei Province Divine Sense Master Association not only invited high-level Divine Sense Masters, but also some Divine Sense geniuses who had not yet reached the required level.
I heard that this time, the Divine Sense Master Association of Guannei Province specially invited the top twenty Divine Sense geniuses from the top ten provinces of Blue Star, who were also on the list of trainee Divine Sense Masters.
Upon hearing this, Shen Miaowei glanced at Chen Lie and suddenly realized that the genius of divine sense she had brought today was even stronger than the one invited by the Divine Sense Master Association of Guannei Province.
Shen Feixue remarked from the side, "Ranked only twentieth on the trainee Divine Sense Master list, and they call that a Divine Sense Genius?"
"You little brat, when did you start spouting such nonsense?"
"I'm talking about the top 20 on Blue Star, not the top 20 in Yunnan Province," Shen Huajie said.
"What's the difference?"
Shen Feixue pursed her lips.
She knew that Chen Lie was ninth on Blue Star. If she acknowledged that the twentieth on Blue Star was powerful, wouldn't Chen Lie be even more powerful?
She didn't think the geniuses on the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Ranking were incompetent; on the contrary, she sincerely believed that the top ten on Blue Star were all chosen ones.
Chen Lie's appearance shattered her illusions and idealized view of the geniuses on the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Ranking.
She had someone investigate Chen Lie, and the conclusion was that Chen Lie's martial arts talent was mediocre, which made her question, "Ninth on Blue Star, is that all?"
Shen Huajie glanced at Shen Feixue, shook his head, and didn't reply.
"Miaowei, the first floor of the Divine Sense Master Association is full of trainee Divine Sense Masters or those who have just entered the ranks. Only by passing a mental strength test can one go up to the second floor."
Do you want to stay and answer the questions to get to the second floor yourself, or should I take you up there?
"I'll do it myself," Shen Miaowei said.
"Good, with a score of over 400,000 in your sea of consciousness, solving the questions from the Guannei Province Divine Sense Master Association should be a piece of cake."
Shen Huajie nodded and was about to walk over.
Shen Feixue waved to Shen Miaowei and said, "Sister Wei, I'll be waiting for you on the second floor."
"Mm." Shen Miaowei nodded.
After Shen Huajie led Shen Feixue up to the second floor, Shen Miaowei said, "Mr. Chen Lie, shall we go take a look in the middle?"
"Okay!" Chen Lie nodded and went with Shen Miaowei to the middle of the lobby on the first floor, where the crowd was gathering.
In the middle of the hall, a deacon from the Guannei Province Spiritualist Association was speaking.
"Dear spiritual practitioners from the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi, first of all, welcome to the Association of Spiritual Masters of the Inner Provinces today."
The Divine Sense Masters Association has set a special challenge. Whoever can solve this challenge will receive ten catties of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers as a reward from the Divine Sense Masters Association of Guannei Province, and will be allowed to go upstairs to discuss matters with many high-level Divine Sense Masters from the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
After the deacon of the Divine Sense Masters Association finished speaking, someone immediately asked a question.
"What kind of question is it?"
The deacon of the Divine Sense Master Association replied, "There are ten S-grade martial arts spirit energy crystal cards on site. Each of these ten spirit energy crystal cards has been placed with a mental restriction by a high-level Divine Sense Master."
Whoever can decipher any one of the ten spirit energy crystal cards will succeed in the challenge, be allowed to go up to the second floor, and receive a reward of ten catties of spirit-nourishing flowers.
"How could a group of us who have just entered the ranks, or even haven't entered the ranks yet, possibly break the mental power restriction set up by a high-level Divine Sense Master?" someone questioned.
"Don't worry, everyone. This question is not testing the strength of your mental power, but rather your mental power manipulation methods and skills."
"The mental energy restrictions on these ten spirit energy crystal cards can definitely be broken with skillful manipulation," the deacon of the Spiritualist Association replied.
"Then I'll give it a try."
A young man immediately stepped forward.
"Please!"
The deacon of the Guannei Province Divine Sense Master Association gestured for the young man to try.
The young man immediately picked up a Spirit Crystal Card from the table in the middle and secretly used his mental power to try to break the mental power restriction on the card.
He quickly realized that he could not break the mental energy restriction, so he put down the psionic crystal card in his hand and tried to break it with another psionic crystal card, but he still failed.
In just over ten minutes, he tried all ten psionic crystal cards, but all of them ended in failure.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "Breaking the mental energy restriction set by a high-level Divine Sense Master is too difficult; ordinary people simply cannot do it."
The deacon of the Guannei Province Divine Sense Masters Association asked, "Is there anyone who would like to give it a try?"
"These ten spirit energy crystal cards, if you can break the mental power restriction on any one of them, you can obtain ten catties of spirit-nurturing flowers and ascend to the second floor."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately stood up.
"I'll give it a try!"
After a strong voice came, a young man of about twenty years old walked to the table in the middle where ten psionic crystal cards were placed.
"Isn't that Zhang Ruoya?"
"Zhang Ruoya? He looks familiar."
"Zhang Ruoya is from Dongchuan Province, a rank-up Divine Sense Master, and supposedly the number one Divine Sense genius in Dongchuan Province?"
"Dongchuan's number one genius of divine sense? What does that mean? His consciousness sea score is very high?"
"The score for the sea of consciousness is quite high, probably around 25 points."
"250,000 points can be called the number one genius of divine sense in Dongchuan Province? This score of consciousness sea would not even be in the top 20 in our Guannei Province. Dongchuan Province is really trash."
"That's not quite right. Although Dongchuan Province is indeed not very good, Zhang Ruoya is hailed as the number one genius of divine sense in Dongchuan, not because of his sea of consciousness score, but because he has cultivated a powerful divine sense."
Those skilled in spiritual cultivation know that the score of one's consciousness world and the score of one's spiritual consciousness are equally important.
Zhang Ruoya picked up a spirit energy crystal card and began trying to break the mental energy restriction inside.
However, he quickly frowned, put down the psionic crystal card in his hand, and replaced it with another one.
After exchanging three spirit energy crystal cards in a row, Zhang Ruoya's brows relaxed at noon, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The mental energy restriction has been broken."
The deacon from the Divine Sense Master Association checked it and immediately said, "Alright, ten catties of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers will be delivered to you by a staff member when you leave. You can go upstairs now."
Zhang Ruoya nodded slightly and walked to the side, but did not choose to go upstairs.
After Zhang Ruoya, several others went to try to break the mental energy restriction on the spiritual energy crystal card, but only one Guan Neisheng, an entry-level Divine Sense Master, successfully broke it.
Shen Miaowei whispered to Chen Lie, "Mr. Chen Lie, would you like to give it a try?"
Chen Lie said, "You go first."
"Oh well."
Shen Miaowei nodded and went to the table in the middle to pick up a spirit energy crystal card.
"Young lady, would you like to give it a try?" the deacon of the Divine Sense Master Association asked.
Shen Miaowei hummed in agreement.
"Judging from your age, you shouldn't have reached the advanced level yet, right? Apprentice Divine Sense Master?"
"Yes."
After answering, Shen Miaowei stopped talking and began to circulate her mental energy, probing into the spiritual energy crystal card.
Soon, her brows furrowed, she put down the psionic crystal card in her hand, and changed to a different one.
The deacon looked as if he had known this all along, and was about to offer some advice when Shen Miaowei handed over the second spirit energy crystal card.
"Crack complete."
"Is the crack complete?"
The deacon of the Divine Sense Master Association immediately took the psychic crystal card and examined it.
He quickly looked surprised and said, "You actually broke the mental energy restriction! A trainee mentalist, may I ask which province you're from? What's your name?"
"Yunnan Province, Shen Miaowei."
When Shen Miaowei announced her name, many people around her couldn't help but be surprised.
"These are people from the Shen family of Yunchuan, the Shen family, a family of Divine Sense Masters."
"I've heard of her. Shen Miaowei's consciousness sea score is over 400,000, which is the highest score in the history of the three provinces of Sichuan. It's no exaggeration to call her the number one genius of divine sense in the three provinces."
"Alright, you can go up to the second floor now. The reward of ten catties of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers will be delivered to you when you leave," said the deacon from the Divine Sense Master Association.
Shen Miaowei nodded, glanced at Chen Lie, and then walked to the side.
Chen Lie then walked up, went to the table, picked up a spirit energy crystal card, and began to probe and decipher it using his mental energy.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
The deacon of the Divine Sense Master Association was strange. Judging from Chen Lie's age, he was not much different from Shen Miaowei from before, so he definitely hadn't entered the rank either.
Unless a non-advanced Divine Sense Master possesses truly exceptional talent, it is absolutely impossible for them to break through the mental power restrictions set by a high-level Divine Sense Master.
"It's been cracked, take a look."
Chen Lie handed the Spirit Energy Crystal Card directly to the deacon of the Divine Sense Master Association opposite him.
"You cracked it before you even finished a sentence?"
The steward immediately felt that Chen Lie was causing trouble.
