I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 188 - 153 Soul Emergence

Chapter 188: Chapter 153 Soul Emergence

Chen Yun carried most of his abilities with him for amplification, including his physical body.

It was the norm for every evolution.

The real highlights were usually the new abilities that came with each evolution.

The Super Smell from the first slumber evolution.

The Super Hearing from the second slumber evolution.

The Killing Intent and spiritual power (accompanied by Telekinesis, Emotion Perception) from the third slumber evolution.

The Electromagnetic Wave Perception, Basic Version from the fourth slumber evolution.

The thermal sight and the advanced version of Electromagnetic Wave Perception from the fifth slumber evolution.

The Emotion Stimulation and super visual-range perception from the sixth slumber evolution.

Each new ability brought Chen Yun immeasurable benefit, allowing him to feel a different world.

And now this new ability after the seventh slumber evolution.

Chen Yun had a strong premonition that it would surely exceed his expectations and give him a huge surprise.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun didn’t hesitate to stimulate the feeling in his spiritual power that was as dazzling as the Sun, following his innate instinct to unleash the new ability.

In the next instant,

Chen Yun felt the entire world turn dark for a moment.

This darkness wasn’t just visual; it was as if all his senses had been blocked.

In this absolute silence, it seemed as if ten thousand years had passed in an instant.

At a certain moment,

The world became noisy again.

When Chen Yun opened his eyes once more, he found himself floating in the air, his head touching the ceiling.

But he knew this was not flying.

Because he saw his body, calmly lying on the ground with eyes closed.

Looking at his own transparent body, through which he could see the wall on the other side,

Chen Yun understood.

This new ability had indeed given him a surprise.

"Is this... Soul Emergence?"

"No, it’s more like the feeling of releasing my spiritual power normally, or perhaps this state of me is just a cluster of gathered spiritual power."

Chen Yun felt his current state.

He was light as if weightless.

Chen Yun reached out to touch the ceiling, and his hand passed through without any resistance.

From this feeling of permeation, Chen Yun realized he had become spiritual power, a Spiritual Body with autonomous consciousness.

It was a very strange state, as if the robust strength of the flesh had vanished.

Only the spiritual power remained under his control.

However, the range of control was still limited to the area around his flesh body, within three hundred meters, and did not seem to radiate out from the center of his Spiritual Body.

Within three hundred meters of his flesh body, he could freely manipulate spiritual power as a Spiritual Body.

Thinking, Chen Yun willed the deactivation of this ability.

In the next moment, familiar darkness enveloped him again.

When he opened his eyes once more, the familiar sense of strength returned to his body.

Chen Yun clenched his fists, got up from the ground, and squinted slightly at the empty ceiling.

Now that he could return to his body at any time,

It was time to thoroughly explore this ability.

With this thought,

Chen Yun’s physical body once again collapsed.

His soul-like body left his physical form once more.

Instinctively, Chen Yun easily controlled his soul-like self, floating around as if he was manipulating spiritual power.

He tried to pass through the wall.

During an indistinct process where he felt nothing, he passed directly through the wall and came outside the building.

Basking in the sunlight that sprinkled down but had no effect on him, Chen Yun controlled his current spiritual body, arriving on the bustling street filled with people coming and going.

As he had anticipated, his spiritual self couldn’t be perceived by anyone.

Everything around him felt identical to when sensed with spiritual power.

The doorman had already dressed neatly and was standing beside the guardhouse in high spirits, his face adorned with a kind smile, occasionally nodding a greeting to the neighbors coming in and out.

The old people doing their morning exercises wore light sports attire, either jogging or practicing Tai Chi with unhurried movements, demonstrating a relaxed and healthy attitude that comes with age.

The young office workers walked briskly, holding breakfast they hadn’t had the time to finish, heading towards the bus stops or subway entrances, ready to embrace the new day’s challenges.

Children, with backpacks on, emerged from their homes accompanied by their parents, their faces brimming with innocent smiles, filled with curiosity and anticipation for the day ahead.

He quietly absorbed all this.

Chen Yun then accelerated upwards and soared.

There was no rushing wind, nor any other sensation that should accompany flying, only the feeling of scenes passing by around him.

Soon, he reached the 300-meter limit of his spiritual power.

He tried to continue upward.

But upon reaching the edge, he detected a strong pulling sensation coming from his physical body.

Then.

There was an irresistible force that pulled him back from the edge of his spiritual power.

In the next moment, a fleeting darkness flashed before his eyes.

Then, Chen Yun, whose consciousness had returned to his body, stood up slowly from the ground.

A hint of confusion flickered across his eyes, but it was instantly replaced by clarity.

He had more or less figured out this new ability.

This ability to project his soul was interesting but seemed to have little practical use.

In his spiritual form, he couldn’t leave the range of his spiritual power, and he could only use spiritual power.

So...

What was the difference between this and directly using spiritual power, and why bother with an out-of-body experience first?

Ruminating,

Chen Yun couldn’t help but curl his lips in disdain.

This ability seemed somewhat useless.

Apart from allowing him the feeling of free flight within a 300-meter radius, it didn’t seem to have much use.

However, considering the profound implications that an out-of-body experience implies, Chen Yun felt this new ability might not be too bad.

After all, the soul could leave the body.

If his physical body were destroyed one day, might there be a possibility that his consciousness could still be preserved?

But considering the restrictions of his spiritual body felt from his physical one after soul emergence, Chen Yun thought that such fantasies were likely but a fleeting illusion.

Yet, considering the possibility that his abilities might gradually improve with each evolution, Chen Yun felt that the idea of immortal consciousness might still be achievable, at least it was a start now.

Pondering,

Chen Yun entered the Memory Palace and began to record the changes in the data after today’s evolution in advance.

[Record #42: 2024.4.9 (Lunar March 1st)]

[1. Switched to a new training method; the muscles tremble at a high frequency on their own, providing dual training for both mind and body. Current endurance time: 30 seconds. Approximate personal strength: 10 tons.]

[2. No change in physique and stature, still close to the standard well-built height of a 175cm man. Weight remains steady at 100kg, suggesting overall body metrics may be locked, seemingly little to no correlation between strength and muscle.]

[3. Ability enhancement—Transparent World evolved to version 4.0. Specific effects include: Super Vision, Super Smell, Super Hearing, and spiritual power [including Real-time Information Transmission, 3D perception modeling, perspective (can’t see through biological entities), Emotion Perception, Telekinesis, Electromagnetic Wave Perception, Basic Version, Emotion Stimulation, super visual-range perception, Soul Emergence]]

[3-1. Spiritual power enhancement description—Range increased from 200 meters to 300 meters, this time with an increase of fifty percent, not exceeding the previous one hundred percent. New feature: Soul Emergence (Currently it seems this ability is equivalent to doing something pointless, since it’s better to directly use spiritual power; but considering the possibility of the eternal existence of a soul separated from the body, this ability may signal a start towards such evolutionary direction?)]

[3-2. Telekinesis note: Telekinesis is the same as spiritual power, just another name for the trait of spiritual power influencing the external world. Thus, its application range equals to that of spiritual power; within this range, its effect can penetrate through all materials except biological entities, frequent use can increase intensity and proficiency. After this evolution, the force increased to 100 Newtons, the precision remains unchanged.]

[3-3. Soul Emergence note: A new ability brought about by the seventh slumber evolution, manifesting as a new characteristic of spiritual power. After soul emergence, it exists as a spiritual power entity, retaining most capabilities of spiritual power. This spiritual entity can fly freely, remain undetected by humans, and pass through most substances, limited to operating within the region covered by the spiritual power centered around the physical body.]

[4. Thermal sight improved—From fifteen seconds duration to twenty seconds, an increase of thirty-three point three percent. It can be determined from the sixth evolution that regular exercise cannot enhance thermal sight’s strength, but the overall growth from each evolution affects its duration.]

[5. Speculation—Based on the experience of selecting the bright white light spot twice and the dark purple light spot twice. It is speculated that bright white light spots relate to electromagnetic waves, and dark purple light spots relate to spiritual power.]

[6. Note—The light spot in the azure dream seems to have a degree of volition, and may actively seek to connect.]
