Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 866 - 386: Thousand Mechanism Skill Perfection; Late-Stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense_2

Xu Ping sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Platform, eyes closed, his expression solemn and dignified to the utmost.

His body remained motionless, his breathing long and even, with no spiritual light shining around him, nor any aura emanating, making him appear like a stone sculpture that has remained silent for countless ages.

Only deep within his Sea of Consciousness, a transformation akin to the creation of the universe was unfolding.

The vast Divine Sense "star map" constructed by the Thousand Mechanism Skill was now operating at an unprecedented peak.

Each cycle further refined and elevated Xu Ping’s Divine Sense.

"All thoughts return to the source, a thousand mechanisms become one!"

Xu Ping’s silent will let out a voiceless roar at the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness.

Boom—

It was like the first thunderclap of the universe’s creation, detonating at the core of Xu Ping’s Sea of Consciousness.

Though the sound existed only on a mental level, its power was enough to shake the heavens and earth, causing the entire Sea of Consciousness to tremble uncontrollably.

Thousand Mechanism Skill... Perfection!

At the very moment of perfection.

A vast, indescribable, overwhelming Divine Sense suddenly burst forth from Xu Ping’s brow.

Buzz—

Though no wind stirred within the quiet chamber, the ambient Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi emitted a groaning sound as if it were solid glass under too much strain.

If it weren’t for the layered Restrictions personally set and reinforced by Xu Ping.

Combined with the support of the Earth’s Spiritual Energy, the entire cave, even Blood Bone Island, would likely have trembled under this Divine Sense’s pressure.

This Divine Sense was immense like an ocean, deep like an abyss, able to effortlessly cover every inch of Blood Bone Island with a mere thought.

Ordinarily, a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator would feel a suffocating fear in the face of this Divine Sense.

"Is this... the Divine Sense realm of the Late-Stage Nascent Soul?"

Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, a detached aloofness and majesty, above all beings, naturally emanating from his pitch-black pupils.

The strength of this Divine Sense was not just a step stronger than before—it was a world of difference!

No wonder Late-Stage Nascent Souls are called Great Cultivators, nearly at the pinnacle of the mortal world.

Soon, this aloof majesty faded, replaced by an uncontrollable joy, akin to a volcanic eruption.

"Ha ha ha... Wonderful, wonderful!"

Xu Ping stood up, unable to contain his laughter.

The Thousand Mechanism Skill is perfect!

Divine Sense has advanced to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul level!

What does this mean?

Firstly, the abilities to refine and deduce puppets, talismans, and arrays will reach a fantastic level.

The time needed to refine a Tier Four Middle Grade Puppet will also be greatly reduced.

Secondly, the use of the Thousand Illusion Concealing Pearl will become even more extraordinary.

Utilizing this bead with Late-Stage Nascent Soul level Divine Sense, its ability to conceal and transform might even be undetectable by a true Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

Finally... and most critically, with the help of the Soul-Breaking Needle, there might be a possibility of injuring a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

After the ecstasy passed.

Xu Ping quickly composed himself, returning to a calm and rational state.

"With such a significant advance in Divine Sense, perhaps it is time to consider taking proactive actions, slaying some Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beasts, and collecting more puppet materials, as well as those precious Demon Beast essences."

A gleam flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes as he began to plan specific actions in his mind.

Now possessing a Divine Sense comparable to that of a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, combined with the Soul-Breaking Needle as a trump card.

The difficulty of slaying Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beasts will suddenly decrease to an acceptable level.

Furthermore, with the strong support of the Golden Spirit Mouse clan as allies, locating those solitary Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beasts will become much easier.

"It seems necessary to find an opportunity to discuss the matter with Jin Yuxuan."

"After the deed is done, sharing some benefits with him, considering the Golden Clan Leader’s astuteness, he likely won’t refuse such cooperation."

Xu Ping calculated secretly in his heart.

Feuds among Demon Beast clans are ever-present, with countless grudges and entanglements.

If it weren’t for a superpower like the True Dragon Hall suppressing them above, the various top-tier Demon Races would have already fought each other to death.

Thus, there is no psychological burden in plotting against other Demon Races.

...

Two months later.

Xu Ping’s Divine Sense stabilized, and he formally exited seclusion.

The first thing he did after leaving seclusion was to find Duan Shuang for a session of dual cultivation through music.

It wasn’t out of desire.

But to test whether dual cultivation would still enhance his significantly improved Divine Sense.

Soon, the gentle sound of a zither resonated through the cave.

No knowing how long it passed.

As the melody ended, its lingering notes remained.

Xu Ping quickly awoke from that mystical state.

He slowly opened his eyes, a faint trace of disappointment flashed deep within them, and he sighed softly:

"As expected... after such a Divine Sense enhancement, dual cultivation offers almost no augmentation to the Divine Sense itself."

His thoughts were clear, and he quickly let go of it.

This was logical, as the disparity in Divine Sense between the two sides was too great, akin to a trickle insufficient to moisten the vast ocean.

Unless Duan Shuang could break through to a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense, and her musical talent advanced to Fourth Rank, she might provide significant benefits to his Late-Stage equivalent Divine Sense.

However, the soothing enjoyment of the zither’s cleansing sound and the clarity of mind it brought weren’t bad either.

As he was pondering, a lazy, seductive sigh arose from his embrace.

Duan Shuang, with slightly disheveled hair, blushing cheeks as if drunk, and eyes shimmering with a dreamy light, just awakened from the peak afterglow of their shared spirit.

Duan Shuang’s beautiful eyes raised, resting on Xu Ping’s face, her lips parted, speaking in a voice tinged with post-ecstasy languid seduction:

"Xu... has your Divine Sense advanced again?"

This sensation, apart from the intense impact of their initial dual exchanges, hadn’t appeared for a long time.
