Sam was feeling out the changes in his body and he used his spiritual sense to get a better look. 

But he was surprised all of a sudden as his spiritual sense could now reach an area of more than 900 meters and for a single direction he could reach more than 1 Km.

He also found that even without concentrating or spending large amounts of energy he could know what is happening around him in a radius of 100 meters . 

Maintaining this state was like a natural thing and only needed a minute amount of energy, which was less than what his body absorbed.

As he concentrated his spiritual sense, he found his dantian had grown to the size of a small egg.

All of a sudden he found that he could enter this egg with his spiritual sense and as he entered he saw a vast space.

About 30 % of it was filled with  brown gas, there was a small area of white gas which was less than 1% percent and the rest 70 % were empty.

After knowing that there was space inside his dantian he became more interested and focused his senses on the middle dantian situated in between his chest. 

He found that, even though the size of his middle dantian had not changed much.

  There was similar space inside it, which was much smaller but contained a green colored gas….. 

Then he focused on his upper dantian, which was in the pineal gland. 

It was similar to the middle dantian but contained a colourless gas… 

He was astonished with these discoveries, but soon came out of it.

He also found that his earth control ability has improved by leaps and bounds.

  Now the models he formed from earth were more real and closer to his imagination.

  His weapons had real sharpness now… After experimenting with his powers for a while, he started walking towards the boundary .

He went to the place where he found the snake.

  The small snake could not be found there any more , so he extended his spiritual sense out again and this time he found he could expand it up to a 100 meters.

  It felt like the stronger one’s spiritual sense, the more resistance one received from the black smoke.

After sensing for a while he found the corroding bones of the mother snake.

  There were also some mutated trees which didn’t have any leaves, but very few branches.

  The trees themselves were not that big, but the interesting part was the roots which were humongous and extended deep into the ground like the cactus.

After searching for some time he didn’t find anything important so he started using earth as the medium for his spiritual sense and now he could search up to 600 meters.

  But he could only sense what was inside the earth and what was touching the surface of the earth.

The rest were blank and dark, but this was enough to search for clues in a wider range.

He kept on searching, along the boundary, but didn’t find anything useful and two more days passed by.

  Continuous searching has yielded no result and he was also getting restless..

” This is not good. I don’t know how much more my luck will last… I think I will have to seek help…”

There was only one other person that he could ask help from, it was of course the evil sword. 

He didn’t want to do this, but he was running out of time and he was also much stronger than before. 

He knew his mind and soul had gone through major transformation after entering the state of ‘ I am the earth ‘.

  His mind was as strong as the earth, the earlier psychic attacks of the evil sword won’t work anymore and his mind would not be read so easily.

When he was in the state of epiphany he had also calculated the odds of using the evil sword effectively to his advantage. 

After analyzing the way in which the sword was imprisoned in the cave and it’s bellow and cursing when it was finally sealed again by the chains.

The probability of the evil sword having a bad relationship with the owner of the cave was very high, which ultimately pointed to the small possibility of using the evil sword to his advantage.

But still he had only thought of using the Evil sword, if there was no other way.
