A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 174 The Seventh Sense Microcosm

The power of his cosmos swept over him, and Jiang Chen stood rooted to the spot. At this moment, Saga, Shaka, and Aiolos around him couldn't help but show a look of shock.

They originally thought Jiang Chen would be no match for them, and might even be seriously injured, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

With just one strike from Jiang Chen, Galon was utterly defeated.

They were completely powerless to resist.

They hadn't even been able to see the battle clearly.

"hiss!"

"Chen, his strength!"

Aiolos couldn't help but speak, his eyes widening involuntarily.

Galon's strength may indeed be slightly inferior to theirs, but only slightly. It won't be easy to determine a winner.

Even Shaka, the strongest among them, couldn't defeat Kanon so easily.

But Jiang Chen could do it easily.

At this moment, not only Aiolos and Saga, but even Shaka with his eyes closed, felt a surge of intense emotions.

"Again!"

"It was my mistake!"

At that moment, Galon, who had been knocked away, got up and gritted his teeth and spoke.

At this moment, his inner universe began to expand rapidly.

"Garon!"

Saga couldn't help but speak up.

The figure was about to step forward to stop him, but Galon unleashed his cosmos and charged towards Jiang Chen.

Kanon's strength was not much inferior to Saga's, so when he suddenly burned his cosmos, it was naturally something that Saga could not stop.

He just rushed there very quickly.

Those that fly back backwards will naturally be much faster.

"Still too slow!"

"Too many vulnerabilities!"

"Spine, abdomen!"

"His chest is riddled with holes!"

Jiang Chen's calm words rang out, and the next moment a powerful aura swept out. His figure flashed, easily dodging all of Galon's attacks, and he punched the same spot again.

"boom!"

The same kind of microcosmic explosion.

In an instant, Galon's figure was sent flying backward again.

"Boom!"

A huge crater appeared directly on the cliff face in the distance.

Galon tried several times with difficulty, but was unable to get up.

The moment I barely managed to get out of there.

"brush!"

A figure reappeared in front of him.

"bump!"

Galon threw a punch, but Jiang Chen easily blocked it.

"Arrogance requires strength, and so does ambition."

"You're not good enough yet!"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, then flicked his right hand, sending Galon flying backward once more.

This time, Jiang Chen did not make a move.

The figure walked directly to the side.

"Thanks!"

Saga spoke softly.

"You're welcome!"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Although Galon is not likable, especially when he was young, it cannot be denied that he has his own unique personal charm.

Not to mention, this is still in Lushan, and Tong Hu is watching over us.

Of course, he couldn't do anything to Galon.

"Chen, you're incredibly strong!"

"If you have time, please give me some pointers."

Aiolos couldn't help but admire, and then spoke earnestly.

"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance, but we can have a friendly spar sometime."

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

"Chen, haven't you grasped your sixth sense yet?"

"But what about your inner universe?"

After Aiolos finished speaking, Shaka couldn't help but ask curiously.

As he spoke, all eyes turned to Jiang Chen.

Even Galon, who had just gotten up in the distance, couldn't help but turn his gaze over.

Jiang Chen's inner universe clearly hasn't reached the level of the sixth sense yet, but the power of Jiang Chen's inner universe far surpasses their sixth sense.

This was undoubtedly what puzzled them the most.

"Maybe I have a bigger inner universe!"

Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

Is it bigger?

Shaka seemed to be deep in thought.

The others remained bewildered.

"Everything in this world is made up of atoms: flowers, trees, grass, rocks, stars, galaxies... even the universe is no exception. Everything in this macrocosm was born from the Big Bang and is made up of atoms, so the essence of destruction is to shatter atoms. The microcosm refers to the potential cosmic energy within the human body, which is the source of human power."

"But the size of this microcosm is different for each person. Just as the universe has a size, so too does the microcosm."

Seeing their confusion, Jiang Chen slowly spoke and explained again.

Shaka's thoughtful expression grew increasingly solemn, and Saga and Aiolos also fell into deep thought.

Even Galon, who was not far away, fell into thought.

"The size of the cosmos is indeed related to the strength of a Saint. Every flower, every blade of grass, and every tree has its own cosmos. The training of a Saint is to perfect the cosmos and also to expand it. However, compared to expanding the cosmos, perfecting it is more important."

As the group pondered, an aged voice rang out.

As the words were spoken, the group of people were all taken aback.

Then it dawned on me who had spoken.

Jiang Chen looked at the distant cliff face in surprise.

Only then did they realize that the figure sitting upright on the cliff had disappeared.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and saw a hunched old man slowly walking over.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

Shaka, Saga, Aiolos, Kanon, and Jiang Chen all bowed.

"Kid, your universe is indeed vast enough, but you should think it through. With such a vast universe, completing your cultivation will inevitably be an extremely difficult process."

Tong Hu's aged gaze focused on Jiang Chen, and he spoke in a low voice.

He was initially puzzled as to why Jiang Chen hadn't developed a sixth sense.

The instant he made his move, Tong Hu understood what was going on.

Good heavens, he's never seen anyone's inner universe directly condensed into the twelve zodiac signs.

Such a vast microcosm.

This was something he had never heard of or seen in the past two hundred years.

Shocked, he couldn't help but frown.

As a survivor of the previous Holy War, and because of his close relationship with Athena, Dohko is well aware that while the vast cosmos brings enormous advantages, it also brings enormous disadvantages.

That is, compared to a normal microcosm, the difficulty of perfecting this kind of massive microcosm is unimaginable.

This can be seen from their current state of spiritual practice.

Jiang Chen's physical and mental talents far surpass those of the others. However, a year has passed, and while the others have gradually developed their sixth sense, it is unknown how long it will take Jiang Chen to achieve it.

This is just a sixth sense.

For Saint Seiya warriors, it's almost a certainty that they will awaken the Sixth Sense once they become official Saints.

In comparison, the seventh sense is the real insurmountable barrier.

What determines the quality of a Saint Seiya is not the Saint Cloth, but the Cosmo. The reason why the Gold Saints are so powerful is because they have comprehended the true essence of the Cosmo—the Seventh Sense!

Most people may only have a vague concept of the Cosmo, thinking it originates from the heart, spirit, soul, life, and capacity, which is correct. However, if we delve deeper, the ultimate essence of the Cosmo is the Seventh Sense. This step, in fact, isolates 99% of the Saints.

The Saints who could be sent to Mount Lu were almost all candidates for Gold Saints. Those who could not reach the Seventh Sense were failures.

So at this moment, Tong Hu couldn't help but speak up.

"My lord, do you mean that a vast microcosm is detrimental to the perfection of a microcosm?"

Aiolos couldn't help but speak up.

"Yes, the power of the cosmos is divided into the sixth sense and the seventh sense. Only by stepping into the seventh sense can one become a truly powerful Saint and have the opportunity to become a Gold Saint."

"With such a vast universe, it would be very difficult for the sixth sense to be born, let alone the seventh sense."

Tong Hu nodded and spoke again to confirm.

"this!"

Hearing Tong Hu's words, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Jiang Chen.

"My lord, isn't it just that the sixth sense and the seventh sense are more difficult to attain, rather than impossible?"

Jiang Chen didn't seem to care too much about the stares he was getting.

He spoke with a light laugh, his gaze fixed on Tong Hu.

"indeed!"

"However, you should think it over carefully. Perhaps these people have all attained the seventh sense, while you may not be able to step into the sixth sense yet."

Tong Hu frowned slightly, but still nodded and spoke in a deep voice.

"I understand!"

Jiang Chen nodded.

He didn't seem to care too much.

For the people here, they have to endure a holy war that occurs once every two hundred years or so.

Even among the Gold Saints, only one in ten survived the Holy Wars of the past.

Improving yourself faster is the most important thing.

But for Jiang Chen, he didn't need to consider any of these things.

Given his understanding of the Saints, surviving the Holy War wouldn't be too much of a problem.

As for the future.

He also has countless worlds and countless hours. As long as he can conquer the Saint Seiya world, his cosmos can grow infinitely.

There's absolutely no need to worry about this.

"It seems you're well-prepared!"

"I hope you won't regret it!"

Tong Hu gave him a deep look, then said nothing more.

Tong Hu was undoubtedly a good teacher.

The disciples he taught in the original work are enough to give us some insight.

Everyone has their own choices.

Tong Hu would always choose to respect.

This time is no exception.

"morning!"

Aiolos instinctively wanted to speak.

"Don't worry, I might just be a little slower at developing my sixth sense, but my strength is considerable!"

Jiang Chen smiled, his gaze gesturing with amusement towards Galon.

Galon's face immediately darkened.

"grown ups!"

"What is the seventh sense of the microcosm?"

Saga took a deep breath before speaking with a questioning tone.

"The seventh sense?"

Tong Hu stopped and whispered something.

"Yes, please enlighten me, sir!"

"Please enlighten me, sir!"

"Please enlighten me, sir."

Saga nodded slightly.

The others couldn't help but turn their attention to Tong Hu.

The same opening.

"The seventh sense is the earliest form of the microcosm of all things. In the most powerful eras, such as the age of mythology and the age of heroes, everyone was born with a seventh sense, which is also the ultimate microcosm. After the decline of humanity, in modern times, because only the most powerful Gold Saints can awaken the seventh sense, people also refer to those with the sixth sense as people who have awakened their microcosm. But according to the most formal definition: the seventh sense is the source of great power, the energy power capable of opening up the universe, surpassing all human six sense abilities."

"!"

"That source of life that transcends everything and encompasses all six senses, even if described in words, cannot give birth to this behavior itself. Even with human wisdom, it is not easy to explore the words that represent it. It is the source of great power, the energy that can open up the universe."

"Once you achieve the Seventh Sense, you can be called Gold Saints."

Tong Hu spoke slowly in his aged voice, and everyone present gradually fell into deep thought.

Even though Jiang Chen knew some of the secrets of the microcosm, he now had a completely new understanding.

Needless to say, the others are even less of a concern.

Tong Hu glanced at the group and nodded in satisfaction.

All five of them this time are extremely talented.

At this rate, it may not be long before the Sanctuary produces several powerful beings who would be considered among the Gold Saints.

Tong Hu glanced at Jiang Chen again before returning to the cliff face.

Time slips away unnoticed.

Night gradually fell.

The dawn sun rises.

Everyone quickly regained their senses.

At that moment, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of all five of them.

Although the insights gained overnight did not enhance their inner universe, nor did they step into the seventh sense simply because of a few words from Tong Hu.

However, everyone became clearer about the path ahead.

This is especially true for Saga, Aiolos, and Kanon.

Shaka and Jiang Chen also gained a lot.

Of course, there was a harvest.

The spiritual practice must continue.

I've had breakfast.

The group then began their cultivation beneath the waterfall.

Compared to climbing cliffs, practicing meditation under waterfalls is undoubtedly much more difficult.

The difficulty lies not in the waterfall itself, but in the terrifying microcosm that accompanies it as it cascades down.

If the small universe of the cliff was merely a pause, and the only pressure was felt when you looked up, then the waterfall below is a vast small universe that is crushed down by the huge flow of water.

Even Jiang Chen, at the very beginning, stumbled and was swept away.

The situation with the others is even more predictable.

However, no one has given up on this.

boom.

boom.

Rumble.

The waterfall roared, accompanied by the crashing figures.

On the cliff face.

Tong Hu remained seated.

He rarely speaks.

Over a long period of time, it feels like a statue, and you can't even feel the breath of life.

However, gradually, everyone got used to this kind of life.

After all, compared to these, the improvement of one's inner universe is the real and tangible benefit.

Especially when they train under the waterfall, their inner strength is improving almost every moment.

This kind of advancement is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of in the Holy Realm.

But this happens every moment here.

Even for Jiang Chen, the speed at which his own power merged far surpassed that when he was in the Holy Domain.

(He's probably the strongest teacher among the Saint Seiya characters; the Shiryu and Genbu he taught are both top-tier fighters.)
