The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit

"Let's try absorbing more life energy!"

Moria's heart stirred, and he devoured another portion of life energy. Then, he immersed his mind entirely in the shadow space to perceive the process of devouring life energy.

His idea was simple: since the evolution of the physical body was completed by the shadow devouring life energy, there should be a process of change during the process of devouring life energy.

Just like shadow slavery, the essence is to change the starry sky on the barrier of another person's shadow space in order to control their mind.

During the transformation process, the starry sky corresponding to the mental space on the barrier of another person's shadow space will change.

If that's the case, then when the physical body becomes stronger by absorbing life energy, the shadow of the corresponding physical body should also change.

It's just that Moria may not have noticed it before, or he may not have been able to focus his mind enough to perceive it, which is why he didn't sense this change and find the corresponding physical body's shadow.

If you calm down now, you might reap the rewards.

Within the shadow space, along with the intention to devour life energy, the life energy, like a ball of light, slowly disappeared into the shadow space.

A while later.

"Nothing has changed!"

Moria frowned and whispered, but the shadow space remained calm, and he did not sense any change.

"Again!"

Moria refused to believe it. His deep perception of the shadow space had broken through the barrier and reached the black and white universe. There was no reason why he couldn't perceive the shadow of his corresponding physical body.

So Moria devoured several more portions of life energy.

However, I still didn't feel any change in the shadow space.

Even after Moria had devoured all the life energy of the animals, he did not sense any unusual changes in the shadow space.

"Is there no corresponding physical body in the shadow?"

Upon reaching this point, Moria couldn't help but wonder if there was any physical counterpart left.

But then I thought, wait a minute!

A shadow is essentially the projection of a physical body under sunlight. If there is no corresponding shadow, then it's as if there is no physical body at all.

Therefore, the shadow corresponding to the physical body must exist.

"Then why can't I perceive any change?"

Thinking of this, Moria paused suddenly, frowned and pondered for a moment, then had an idea and devoured a portion of the tree's life energy.

"what!!"

This time, Moria noticed that the life energy being devoured did not disappear directly into the shadow space, but rather merged into it.

"Integration"

Moria murmured softly, frowning in thought. After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with delight:

"That's right, it's about merging. Life energy merges into the shadow space, it doesn't disappear into thin air, nor does it enter the barrier of the shadow space, but rather it merges into the space within the shadow space."

"This shows that the space in the shadow space corresponds to the physical body."

At this moment, Moria finally understood.

The space corresponding to the physical body is the space within the shadow space.

It was there from the very beginning; he didn't need to perceive it any further. He just hadn't thought of it before.

Just think about what the shadow space is made of and you'll understand.

The shadow space barrier and the space enclosed by the shadow space barrier together constitute the shadow space.

Since the Shadow Space Barrier corresponds to the Mind Space, the remaining Shadow Space itself naturally corresponds to the physical body.

Ugh!

Moriah sighed. Why hadn't he thought of that before?

It's also very simple.

It's like taking you into a room and then asking you what's in the room.

You might say that there is a bed, a closet, a desk in the room, and you might even say that there is some dust on the floor.

But you would hardly imagine that there is air, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other invisible gases in this room.

Moriah was like that before, blind to what was right under his nose.

Fortunately, we now know that the Shadow Space is the physical body. Well, that's a bit of a mouthful, so from now on we'll just say that the Shadow Space corresponds to the physical body.

Thinking about it that way, it seems to make sense. Moria smiled.

Where do shadows come from? They only come into existence because of the physical body, and only then does the shadow space come into existence.

"Now that we know the shadow space corresponds to the physical body, how can we modify and evolve the physical body by controlling and altering the changes in the shadow space?"

Moria frowned in thought, realizing that even if he found the shadow space corresponding to his physical body, it didn't seem to allow his body to evolve and become stronger.

why?

The main problem is that we don't know how the shadow space affects the evolution and strengthening of the physical body.

Therefore, Moria didn't know what kind of changes he needed to control and alter the shadow space in order to make his physical body evolve and become stronger.

"Since there's no other way, let's try absorbing more life energy and experimenting more!"

After thinking for a while, Moria decided to absorb a portion of life energy and then carefully observe the brief process of the life energy merging into the shadow space.

After consuming more than a dozen portions, Moria still couldn't sense any changes in the shadow space, leaving him completely baffled.

The current situation is like the shadow space being a blank sheet of paper.

Moria knew that writing some kind of alien script on this blank sheet of paper would allow his physical body to evolve and become stronger.

So here's the question: Did Moria know alien writing?

He doesn't know!

Then tell him how to write it!

No solution!

Moria's current predicament lies precisely in this: he has absolutely no idea what to expect.

But there are ways to overcome this problem.

Moria speculated that each time life energy was absorbed, the shadow space, a blank sheet of paper, would actually reflect the phantom of words.

As long as the phantom solidifies a bit, he can figure out how to write the alien script that allows the physical body to evolve and become stronger, just like giving you a template to copy.

The problem now is that the intensity of the life energy being absorbed seems to be too low.

The ghostly reflection of the words on the white paper is almost the same color as the white paper itself.

If you can't see anything, you naturally can't write alien characters that can make your physical body evolve and become stronger.

Unless Moria's mental consciousness is extremely strong, strong enough to be able to see through that phantom that is almost as white as a sheet of paper.

But this is obviously unrealistic; mental and spiritual consciousness is the hardest thing to strengthen.

Moria only underwent a transformation and enhancement under the pressure of near assimilation and loss of self in the black and white universe.

In this world, it's virtually impossible to undergo another transformation.

In addition to strengthening mental awareness.

Only by absorbing life energy with a higher intensity than his own can the illusory image of the words projected on the white paper become more solid, allowing him to see it clearly.

Thus, they learned how to write the alien characters that allow the physical body to evolve and become stronger.

"So in the end, it all comes back to the path of seeking out and being devoured by the shadow of a powerful creature!"

Moria smiled wryly, having studied it for a long time, he ended up going back to the old ways.

However, Moria suddenly realized that since this world possesses spiritual energy, it should be able to provide some kind of spiritual energy.

There must be quite a few powerful animals, at least quite a few with stronger life energy than him.

The goal is to find someone much taller than him, but there probably aren't many.

"Keep an eye out for it next time!"

Moriah thought to himself, then he stood up, looked at the sun, and found that it had risen quite a bit higher.

"Are you alright? You've been sitting there for about half an hour."

Jingni walked over carrying Xiaoyan'er and asked, "I saw Moria talking to himself the whole time, and I was a little worried."

Half an hour!

That's an hour already! I didn't expect so much time to have passed!

Moria was somewhat surprised. He felt that not much time had passed. Could it be that when one's mind is immersed in the shadow space, one's perception of time outside slows down?

Thinking this, Moria suddenly saw Jingni's worried eyes and smiled at her, "I'm fine, let's go."

As he spoke, Moria walked over, put the carriage into his shadow space, and then released the black horse shadow servant.

They then rode together on a horse and continued towards Xinzheng in Korea.

They didn't take the official road, but instead walked a kilometer away from it.

Where there were paths or flat terrain, they would ride their horses or dismount and walk when they got tired.

When encountering rough or uneven roads, simply sit on the shadow sofa and fly over them.

Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers, always staying by the official road.

The food along the way was plentiful, including wild boar, rabbits, and pheasants. In this era imbued with the spirit of heaven and earth, while other things may be scarce, wild animals were truly abundant.

However, Moria and his companions didn't eat much, fearing that these wild animals might carry too many germs and viruses, and that they might accidentally catch something, which would be disastrous.

Therefore, Moria would often return to the city, specifically the city where his first shadow slave was located.

He doesn't need to buy it outside.

Moria had the fat shadow servant instruct the servants to prepare pastries, rice, and dishes, bring them to the room, and then have them leave. Moria then switched places with a shadow bird, brought the food into the shadow space, and then switched places with the shadow bird again before leaving.

And so, along the way, Moriah, Jingni, and Xiaoyan'er were like on a picnic, enjoying delicious food and sleeping in a luxurious carriage at night.

Although it was a bit cramped, Jingni got used to it after a few days and now sleeps directly in Moria's arms at night.
