Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1037 - 442: Divinity Transformation Divine Sense; Minor Achievement of First Transmutation (2)
Previously on Cultivation Starts from Farming...
This implied that with continued dual cultivation, her Divine Sense realm would not only be steadily maintained but had the potential to surpass her current cultivation level.
Xu Ping extended his arm, drawing her soft and smooth form into his embrace. They held each other close, sharing a moment of deep affection.
After receiving attentive care from Duan Shuang, including bathing and changing clothes, Xu Ping felt completely refreshed and revitalized.
He then returned to the deep underground cavern and, with a sweep of his hand, activated multiple layers of Restriction lights.
Immediately, he settled into a cross-legged position on the futon, palms upturned, and began to fully refine and absorb the immense gains in Divine Sense from their recent dual cultivation, integrating it completely into his Divine Soul's essence.
...
Time elapsed swiftly, and while the outside world simmered with unrest, a profound tranquility enveloped Blood Bone Island, spanning a period of three years.
Throughout these three years, the frequency of dual cultivation between Xu Ping and Duan Shuang saw a noticeable increase.
With the assistance of Duan Shuang, who had recently advanced to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul realm and whose Divine Sense had reached Perfection, Xu Ping's Divine Sense accumulation progressed at an astonishing, almost lightning-fast pace.
The previously insurmountable barrier separating the Nascent Soul stage from the Divinity Transformation stage grew increasingly thin and transparent.
It felt as though he was merely a single step away from glimpsing an entirely new realm of existence.
On this particular day, after another exquisite interlude of spiritual and physical unity had concluded.
As Xu Ping departed from Duan Shuang’s cave dwelling and returned to his subterranean abode, his eyes shone with brilliant clarity, and his aura exuded perfect harmony. His mental state had undeniably reached its zenith.
He could distinctly perceive the surging power of Divine Sense within his Sea of Consciousness, a sensation of unprecedented saturation.
Only an infinitesimal barrier now stood between him and his ultimate breakthrough.
"This time, I shall pour all my might into shattering this barrier!"
A resolute spark ignited in Xu Ping’s eyes, and without a moment's hesitation, he immediately entered seclusion to commence his breakthrough attempt.
He assumed a cross-legged posture, immersing his consciousness entirely within the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, diligently guiding the overwhelming power of his Divine Sense to launch a relentless assault on the final obstacle.
"Buzz!"
Initially, only a subtle tremor was felt, akin to a pebble dropped into a placid lake.
However, the intensity of this resonance rapidly escalated! Xu Ping’s Sea of Consciousness seemed to transform into a tempestuous ocean, its colossal waves crashing ferociously against the ethereal barrier that symbolized the Divinity Transformation realm.
The formidable tide of Divine Sense surged with untamed force, causing the Array Restrictions within the cave to flicker erratically and distort, emitting groaning sounds under the immense pressure.
Fortunately, this endeavor was solely a spiritual breakthrough, involving energies that were inherently more controlled and ethereal.
Had the breakthrough involved actual mana and unleashed an energy surge of comparable magnitude, the entire underground cavern, along with the Blood Bone Hall situated above, would have been utterly annihilated.
Time slipped away unnoticed amidst profound concentration and arduous effort.
Xu Ping maintained an unwavering clarity of mind, enduring the tearing and swelling agony accompanying the fierce transformation of his Divine Sense, as he ceaselessly propelled the immense torrent of Divine Sense in wave after wave of assaults.
One month, two months...
Finally, on a certain day during the third month.
When the accumulated and compressed Divine Sense reached an overwhelming critical mass—
Boom!!!
A silent, yet cataclysmic explosion, as if tearing open the heavens and earth, detonated deep within Xu Ping’s soul.
The incredibly resilient, intangible barrier that had thwarted countless Nascent Soul cultivators was irrevocably shattered.
In that instant, Xu Ping’s perception of reality became astonishingly clear and expansive.
His Divine Sense, no longer confined to his Sea of Consciousness or his immediate physical vicinity, expanded outwards in all directions with unimaginable scope.
Blood Bone Island itself, the surrounding seas, the distant clouds and mists....
Even the pervasive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, everything manifested before his awareness with a novel clarity, intricate detail, and, most importantly, its fundamental 'essence.'
He could 'perceive' the flow of Spiritual Qi, akin to loyal subjects moving at his command.
He could 'sense' the intricate network of Spiritual Qi woven throughout the void, as clearly as reading patterns on his own palm.
This represented a fundamental paradigm shift.
"Divinity Transformation Divine Sense, achieved!"
An indescribable surge of elation coursed through Xu Ping’s being.
A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage possessing Divine Sense at the Divinity Transformation Level.
Such an occurrence in the annals of the Cultivation Realm was exceedingly rare, akin to the rarity of phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, an event guaranteed to astound the entire world.
Yet, he understood that his recent breakthrough had unleashed an immense Divine Sense, powerful like a torrential flood only recently unleashed from its dam – mighty, but not yet refined or truly under his control.
He immediately stilled his surging emotions, drawing back all his Divine Sense and setting about the rigorous task of stabilizing this new power, following the intricate procedures laid out in his Skills.
Another two months elapsed.
The restless undulations within his Divine Sense, previously echoing through the underground cave, finally subsided, becoming calm and restrained.
With a slow movement, Xu Ping's eyes opened.
The instant his gaze cleared, it was as if a vortex of the infinite, star-studded sky flickered deep within his pupils. It was profound, vast, exuding a detached majesty that surveyed all existence.
Were a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage to face him now, simply meeting those eyes would be enough to make their very spirit tremble, their Dao heart waver, and cause an involuntary shudder to run through them.
"Phew...."
Xu Ping released a lengthy exhalation of stale air, and even this simple breath carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, Divine Soul pressure.
A smile touched his lips as he reveled in the feeling of mastery and the sheer joy of wielding the Divinity Transformation Divine Sense, which now flowed through his Sea of Consciousness like liquid mercury.
His thoughts stirred, and he began to meticulously examine the distinctions between the Divinity Transformation Divine Sense and the Nascent Soul Divine Sense.
Firstly, there was a definitive escalation in both 'quantity' and 'quality'.
The sheer intensity, resilience, and the range of perception offered by his Divine Sense were at least twice as potent as they had been before this significant breakthrough.
Restrictions that had once been impenetrable or minute details within domains that had been difficult to discern were now laid bare with absolute clarity.
Secondly, and perhaps most crucially, was its influence upon Primordial Qi.
