Chapter 1078 - 1077: Another Use for Spiritual Power
Leaving the Spiritual World of a gorilla that resembled a wrathful guardian, Chu Ge sighed in relief. This was the last beast he perceived.Chu Ge recalled carefully that there were more than forty various beasts around him. If all these beasts went on a rampage, it would undoubtedly be quite a spectacle. Even if they couldn't pose a huge threat to this gloomy place, as long as there's a suitable opportunity, using them to create chaos would certainly be enough to cause a pandemonium.
In this little over an hour, Chu Ge's gains were undoubtedly enormous. On one hand, he thought of and began implementing a plan targeting these beasts' existence. On the other hand, and more importantly, he discovered another way to use Spiritual Power.
Since he could enter other beasts' Spiritual Worlds with his consciousness, then... does that also mean that his consciousness could similarly enter the Spiritual Worlds of other people?
If this hypothesis was valid, then it meant he could communicate with another person in complete secrecy, without needing to speak, or even needing to be near the person.
Although Chu Ge hadn't tried this yet, he thought that theoretically, this assumption was absolutely feasible.
In fact, just a moment ago, Chu Ge had the opportunity to try because, apart from these beasts, he also sensed some people.
Even so, Chu Ge did not recklessly attempt to establish a spiritual connection with them, after all, he couldn't determine their identities. Compared to humans, those speechless beasts were more trustworthy.
Besides, if he wanted to put this idea into practice, who could be more suitable than Chu Shiyao?
After all, Chu Shiyao stood with him against a common enemy. They've known each other for more than just a day or two. No matter how he thought, Chu Shiyao was trustworthy.
However, Chu Ge was somewhat worried. If he actually conducted this experiment on Chu Shiyao, would it cause any harm to her?
Chu Ge pondered over and over for a long while and finally decided to give it a try. After all, every single moment he and Chu Shiyao spent in this damned cage was filled with danger and uncertainty. No matter what they did while trying to escape this place, there was no way it could be entirely risk-free. In the end, it was worth trying.
Chu Ge rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, and the hesitation in his gaze gradually turned into determination. He finally released a strand of his consciousness as gently as possible to attempt it.
Before long, Chu Ge successfully entered Chu Shiyao's Spiritual World. It was also a realm of chaos, much larger than those of the beasts, but still much smaller compared to his own Spiritual World.
In his own Spiritual World, Chu Ge couldn't see the end, but here, while it was vast, he could see a distant profound darkness at the end of the horizon, which was clearly the boundary of this world.
In his sight, Chu Shiyao lay on her side on the void ground, just like her sleeping posture in the real world, with her brows tightly furrowed and fists clenched tightly.
Clearly, she wasn't sleeping well.
Chu Ge gently patted Chu Shiyao's shoulder. She seemed to be startled, like a tightly wound spring suddenly popping up, her upper body tensed, as she let out a scream, "Ah," opening her terrified eyes.
Chu Ge smiled, revealing his white teeth, "Yaoyao, had a nightmare?"
Seeing it was Chu Ge, Chu Shiyao visibly relaxed, "So it's you, how come..."
Mid-sentence, Chu Shiyao suddenly paused, and her eyes widened to the limit, everything in her sight was simply unbelievable.
"This... where is this?"
"You are dreaming, just sleep."
Gazing at Chu Shiyao's eyes, Chu Ge said softly, then his form gradually faded away, disappearing from her bewildered gaze.
Leaving Chu Shiyao's Spiritual World, Chu Ge immediately checked on her in the real world, observing that her breathing was evidently a bit rapid, her tightly closed eyelids slightly trembling, showing that her eyeballs were moving beneath.
"Chu big brother, where did you go? Chu big brother? Am I... am I dreaming?"
If Chu Shiyao's reaction proved Chu Ge's speculation about seventy percent, her muttering, completely matching the situation in her Spiritual World, brought an uncontainable joy to his heart, as this verified his hypothesis one hundred percent!
The next step was to wait for Chu Shiyao to wake up and see if she felt any discomfort.
After a few minutes, Chu Shiyao's breathing returned to calm, and the furrowed brows gradually relaxed, allowing Chu Ge to breathe a slight sigh of relief. From her appearance, she seemed to be okay.
Chu Ge now felt extremely fatigued, both physically and mentally, especially spiritually. The high-intensity use of Spiritual Power made him feel the dizzying sensation of being top-heavy, this time even more intense than before.
Though he wanted to think about some things further, fatigue enveloped him like an irresistible tide, completely swallowing him. Just as a few thoughts floated in his mind, he drifted into a deep sleep.
If Chu Ge were a bit more awake at this moment, he might have noticed a subtle change happening within him, but unfortunately, he was too tired.
The next day, when Chu Ge woke up, he was once again full of energy, not only was his body filled with strength, but the emptiness in his mind was completely replaced by a feeling of clarity and freshness.
More refreshed than he had ever felt waking up before!
However, now was obviously not the time to be happy. As soon as Chu Ge opened his eyes, he immediately looked over at Chu Shiyao, instinctively furrowing his brows with a gaze full of concern.
Chu Shiyao was sleeping peacefully, her breathing was steady, and her chest gently rose and fell.
A minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes passed...
Chu Ge just kept watching Chu Shiyao, hesitating several times whether to call out to her or gently pat her, but his open mouth eventually closed again, his lips pressed tightly together, and his outstretched hand was withdrawn.
Although he thought judging from Chu Shiyao's sleeping face now, she should be fine, yesterday his attempt was only a tentative one and didn't cause any intense emotional changes in Chu Shiyao's spiritual world, he was still afraid, afraid that Chu Shiyao won't wake up, afraid that if he calls out to her or reaches out to pat her, she won't respond.
Five minutes passed, just as Chu Ge's heart was in his throat, finally unable to resist wanting to call out to Chu Shiyao, Chu Shiyao let out a soft hum and opened her big eyes on her delicate, doll-like face.
"Chu Brother?"
Chu Ge felt a sense of relief, his tightened brow and fists finally relaxed.
Chu Ge smiled gently and said, "Awake now?"
"You've been awake for a while? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Being watched by Chu Ge like this, Chu Shiyao's pretty face blushed slightly, but she pretended to respond casually, stretching lazily and shifting her gaze elsewhere, no longer making eye contact with Chu Ge.
"Hmm, how are you feeling?"
Upon hearing Chu Ge ask this, Chu Shiyao's face turned even redder, her expression showing some conflict, but she did not answer.
Chu Ge was only worried about the attempt to enter Chu Shiyao's spiritual world yesterday, not thinking anything else, seeing her face so red, he almost instinctively asked again.
"Yaoyao, do you have a fever? Is your body uncomfortable somewhere?"
Saying this, Chu Ge reached out to feel Chu Shiyao's forehead temperature.
"Oh, all right, why do you say I'm uncomfortable? Isn't it all because of you?"
Chu Shiyao brushed Chu Ge's hand aside, turned her head and glared at him, her doll-like face, usually full of laughter, now showed a hint of womanly charm and coyness never seen before.
Chu Ge froze, stunned for two seconds before finally reacting, thick-skinned as he might be, even he blushed instantly, coughing awkwardly twice.
"Uh...besides that, is there anywhere else uncomfortable? Or any weird feelings?"
Although knowing well what Chu Shiyao meant, she seemed quite normal, Chu Ge's heart eased by more than half, but still somewhat worried, so he asked again.
"Weird feelings? Chu Brother, the weird one is you, right?" Chu Shiyao looked at Chu Ge baffled, her expression suddenly paused, she raised a hand to scratch her head, her eyes shifted twice, murmuring, "Speaking of weird, there really is something weird."
Chu Ge's heart tightened, his gaze focused, "What is it?"
"It's... actually not too weird, look how tense you are, relax." Chu Shiyao laughed lightly, though she said the teasing words, her doll-like face was blushed with a little woman's happiness.
"It's just, I had a rather strange dream, dreaming I was sleeping in a particularly strange place, a place that was hazy with nothing in it, then you appeared there, patted me from behind, spoke two sentences to me, then you disappeared, then... I can't remember anymore."
Chu Ge's spirit lifted, what Chu Shiyao said was exactly in line with what happened when he entered her spiritual world last night, but he still wanted to hear Chu Shiyao describe it in more detail, after all, she was the most direct experiencer and her every feeling was the most precious firsthand information.
"Dreaming, huh?" Chu Ge pretended to smile casually, "Then in your dream, what were the two sentences I said?"
Chu Shiyao tilted her head thinking, and said, "Um, your first sentence was 'Yaoyao, dream a nightmare?' The second sentence was 'You're dreaming, sleep on.'"
