Chapter 1069: Chapter 304: Star Gate_4
"But I feel like the moment I relax, Iâll fall into an abyss."
"Thatâs the psychicâs instinct," He Gu explained. "For a psychic, the most important thing is consciousness itself."
"So if a psychic falls into an unconscious state, thatâs when they are most vulnerable."
"Of course, if you become unconscious while going through a Star Gate, others will too, so donât worry too much."
"After all, youâre not going to traverse the Star Gate on the same ship as your enemy, are you?"
"Of course, if you insist on resisting that sensation, thatâs an exercise in your Spiritual Energy as well, and itâs quite effective."
"It makes psychics feel mentally fatigued, but without any substantial impact. Plus, its unique power source makes it a great way to train in controlling Spiritual Abilities."
"If it werenât so costly, it would have been widely promoted by now."
He Gu was indeed correct.
Chen Ming could feel the effect of the Space-Time Power on his Spiritual Power during that time.
Under such a restraining effect, a psychic must exert a great willpower to resist the feeling of consciousness being pulled from the body, which is truly challenging.
Particularly when it comes to control over Spiritual Power in extreme situations and in refined detail.
Perhaps because he persisted for so long and continuously used his Spiritual Energy to counteract every subtle force.
Chen Ming could even feel a noticeable improvement in his ability to control Spiritual Energy.
Especially on a microscopic level.
Chen Ming looked down at his palm.
In the center of his palm was an iron atom.
Though invisible to the naked eye, Chen Mingâs vision at this moment was not just limited to the iron atom; he could vaguely "see" the protons and neutrons composing the atom.
As long as his Spiritual Energy continues to grow and with further training, he will eventually be able to control even deeper existences.
He Gu deliberately didnât tell Chen Ming about this in advance.
After all, if someone had mentioned it, and he was prepared in advance, knowing nothing would happen,
Then when he couldnât hold on, the Spiritual Power in the center of the Space-Time Power might not desperately try to withstand it, and the effect would naturally be worse.
But if the psychic in the situation didnât know it was safe for consciousness to leave the body, they would naturally use all their strength to hold on until they couldnât anymore.
Chen Ming was an exception.
Because only a part of his consciousness entered the Star Gate.
So the training effect on his Spiritual Power wasnât ideal, but his control over Spiritual Energy became more refined.
Allowing him to see more clearly at a microscopic level.
"So how did you get through it just now?" He Gu asked curiously. "How long did you hold on?"
"I resisted for a while, about fifteen minutes, then I relaxed when I couldnât hold on anymore."
"Fifteen minutes?!"
He Gu repeated Chen Mingâs words with surprise.
Making Chen Ming immediately realize that the duration he mentioned was quite long.
However, after the surprise, He Gu quickly felt unsurprised, as this was Chen Ming after all.
"Fifteen minutes is pretty good. Next time, youâll be prepared, but there wonât be such a good training opportunity."
At this point, Chen Ming suddenly realized that he had traveled through the Star Gate.
And the Star Gate was opened because the Fourteenth Legionâs Main Fleet had passed through, so if he wanted to return...
"When will the Star Gate open next?"
"In a week, the next legionâs fleet will go through; you can tag along then."
"Oh."
Just as Chen Ming finally left the Star Gate.
A secret meeting was being convened on the network of the Fourteenth Legion headquarters.
In a virtual reality network meeting room, about twenty individualsâ virtual projections were seated around the conference table.
The appearance of everyone was obscured in darkness, their identities not clear.
But all participants were well aware of each otherâs identities.
At the head of the conference table, there was a projected photograph.
It was a photo near the Star Gate.
In the center of the photo, there was a Destroyer waiting at the edge of the Star Gate.
The photo kept zooming in.
When it reached the highest resolution, the photo focused through the Destroyerâs porthole on He Gu and Chen Ming.
Finally, the perspective zoomed in on Chen Mingâs face.
"Chen Ming has entered the Star Gate and has arrived at the Fourteenth Star Realm; he is coming to the headquarters."
