Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1157 496: Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation (2)

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Xu Ping began to immerse his mind within his body, sensing and scrutinizing the specific changes brought about by this breakthrough in greater detail.

First, was the transformation of Mana.

Through his Divine Sense's inner vision, his Dantian Sea of Qi seemed to have transformed into an endless starry sky, where the surging Mana was no longer like rivers and streams but had turned into a brilliant stellar light flow. Each strand was as heavy as a mountain, yet as nimble as a breeze.

The purity level and energy contained within had skyrocketed drastically.

"Although I've just broken through to the Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, the quality and abundance of my current Mana are probably not inferior to those top-tier Mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivators who have been immersed in this realm for hundreds or even thousands of years," Xu Ping silently assessed, his confidence even stronger.

He moved his mind slightly and did not use any Divine Techniques, merely flicking his finger.

"Buzz..."

A circle of visibly transparent ripples instantly radiated out from the surrounding void at his fingertip, as if a stone was thrown into a tranquil water surface.

"Every move can stir the waves of space."

Xu Ping understood, "At this moment, the space in front of me has already become extremely fragile, unable to withstand the natural emanation of my Mana."

This is a sign that the power level has reached a certain critical point in this state.

Secondly, was the astonishing enhancement of Divine Sense.

This is still the most remarkable improvement in this aspect.

"Originally, my Divine Sense at Early-Stage Divinity Transformation was already comparable to that of top-tier Mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivators."

"Now with the breakthrough in realm, my life level leaps once more, my Divine Sense rises with the tide, and has truly touched, even slightly crossed, the threshold of Late-Stage Divinity Transformation!"

Late-Stage Divinity Transformation Divine Sense!

This has already surpassed the theoretical limit that this human realm can bear.

Xu Ping could clearly feel that when his Divine Sense attempted to fully expand outward to perceive more distant realms,

An invisible force, originating from the Heaven and Earth Laws, quietly descended, as if there was a tough membrane limiting his "vision" from looking farther and higher.

"Divine Sense is suppressed by this realm's heaven and earth..."

Xu Ping was not surprised; instead, it confirmed his judgment.

His existence has, to some extent, begun to burden the stable spatial structure of this realm.

Lastly, there was the change in the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul stood high in the Sea of Consciousness, the light ever greater and its form more solidified, its sense of the Heaven and Earth Laws multiplied in clarity.

When manipulating Mana and using magic, everything was more natural and intuitive, as thoughts turned, magic could be formed.

"However, it is ultimately only an improvement within the same realm, without experiencing a major realm breakthrough of the life essence like the transformation from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation, so no earth-shattering metamorphosis ensued," Xu Ping analyzed calmly.

Mid-stage Divinity Transformation is more like a deep excavation and heightened concentration of the Early-stage Divinity Transformation's power.

Summing up this contemplation, a clear conclusion surfaced in Xu Ping's mind.

"With my comprehensive strength now, if I exert to my fullest, perhaps… the success rate of forcibly breaking the void and attempting to ascend to the Upper Realm has already risen to a frightening degree."

A gleam of sharp longing flickered involuntarily in Xu Ping's eyes.

Ascending to the Upper Realm, leaving behind this human world, heading to the realm of legends where Spiritual Qi is denser, the Dao clearer, and the path of longevity broader.

This is naturally Xu Ping's last and highest goal in the human world at this stage.

However, this longing was quickly replaced by deeper rationality.

"But for now, there is no rush." Xu Ping shook his head slightly.

"Everything should wait until my cultivation realm is further stabilized and elevated, further excavating the potential of Mid-stage Divinity Transformation. The most important thing is..."

His gaze fell once again on the proficiency panel's cultivation technique section:

[Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture Completion (Divinity Transformation Chapter): 968/1600]

"Wait until this 'Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture' Divinity Transformation chapter is completely perfected before discussing ascension." Xu Ping determined his goal.

At that time, the quality of his Mana will surely undergo another refinement and sublimation, elevating the use of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the control of personal power to a new height.

Using this more solidified, almost flawless foundation for ascension will not only enhance security but also lay the most solid groundwork for the unknown environment that ascension may bring.

"Still over six hundred points of proficiency left..."

Xu Ping silently estimated the progress, "With my current insight and Divine Sense, aided by persistence, there is no rush; I'll take it slowly."

His mindset had already become transcendent.

No existence in the human realm could threaten him, his own longevity nearing ten thousand years, time stretched infinitely.

With his mind set, he then closed the floating proficiency panel in the Sea of Consciousness.

Xu Ping once again discarded all distractions, immersing his mind completely into a state of emptiness and tranquility to stabilize his cultivation.

…

Months passed quietly.

Xu Ping believed his cultivation was as stable as a mountain and his control over the power of Mid-stage Divinity Transformation more refined and accomplished.

However, a frustrating problem presented itself.

His cultivation was truly unable to advance even a tiny bit.

No matter how he absorbed the top-tier Earth Spiritual Energy from the Star Palace Spirit Vein, or operated Profound Skill attempting to refine his Mana, the cultivation seemed welded still at the mid-stage Divinity Transformation phase, not moving a fraction.

Xu Ping furrowed his brow slightly.

The reasons are mainly twofold:

Firstly, Spiritual Qi.

The Star Palace Spirit Vein, though the first spirit vein in the human realm and of extremely high quality, its total amount and the level of Spiritual Qi it can provide, is already insufficient to support the cultivation of the mid-stage Divinity Transformation.

Secondly, fortune.

He is far beyond what ordinary mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivators can compare to.

The capacity of the Wind Origin Realm has reached its limit.

"This is almost an unsolvable deadlock in the human realm." Xu Ping understood in his heart.

This is restricted by the Heaven and Earth Laws, the limit of this realm's "capacity."

Even if he possesses heaven-piercing cultivation now, it's impossible to change the fundamental structure and rules of this entire realm by himself.

Forcing it would be akin to defying the heavens, with a negligible success rate.

"It seems, the plan needs to change." Xu Ping thought to himself, quickly adjusting his mindset.

His original plan was to first raise his cultivation, then plot ascension once stronger and more assured.

But now that cultivation has been deadlocked, sitting idly enduring bitter practice is wasting time in vain.

"Since that is the case, I shall both travel the human realm, seeking places where spatial fragility might exist, and continue to raise the proficiency of 'Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture' along the way."

Although with his current strength, combined with the power of the Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure, he has great assurance of forcefully breaking the void and ascending to the Upper Realm.

But if a natural spatial fragile node can be found, it would undoubtedly vastly reduce the risk and difficulty, increasing the success rate of ascension.

Decision made, Xu Ping no longer hesitated and immediately stood up to exit seclusion.

As the stone door opened, Duan Shuang, who had already sensed the movement, was waiting outside.

Seeing Xu Ping come out, Duan Shuang's face instantly lit up with a bright radiant smile.

"Xu Lang."

Xu Ping approached and naturally drew her into his embrace, feeling the familiar warmth and reliance.

After a brief moment of intimacy, Xu Ping gently stroked her hair and said, "Shuang'Er, I wish to travel the eight domains of the human realm, seeking spatial fragile places to prepare for ascension in the future."

"This journey might be long; would you be willing to accompany me?"

Duan Shuang heard the words, lifted her delicate face, with eyes showing no surprise, smiled and softly said, "Naturally willing. Wherever Xu Lang goes, Shuang'Er goes."

Only, deep in her eyes, a more complex emotion quietly flashed.

Ascending to the Upper Realm... the two of them might never meet again in this life.

Xu Ping noticed this emotion but did not point it out, simply holding her tighter.

Some knots in the heart need time and experience to untangle.

Thus, the two tidied up briefly and quietly left this place of cultivation in the Star Palace, beginning a long and leisurely journey across the human realm.

Xu Ping was not in a hurry.

Since cultivation cannot advance further, and longevity is extensive, he regarded this search journey as a long trip accompanying his companion.
