Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 913 - 402: Enhancing Divine Sense, the Nirvana Blood Accident
Previously on Cultivation Starts from Farming...
One month later.
Finally, the Divine Sense undulations inside Duan Shuang’s cave abode fully stabilized, growing smooth and abundant, boundless and profound.
The stone gate of the cave abode gradually parted, revealing Duan Shuang in her moon-white Daoist robe. Her silhouette appeared even more ethereal and refined, her demeanor infused with a keener, more intense frostiness, as she glided out with composed poise.
A radiant light shone in her eyes, clearly showing the massive benefits from this breakthrough.
Spotting Xu Ping in the hall with his warm smile, Duan Shuang’s icy, snow-white face instantly lit up with a genuine, brilliant grin, like spring blossoms unfurling.
"Xu Lang."
"Congratulations, Shuang’er. Your Divine Sense has advanced; the Great Dao lies just ahead." Xu Ping’s mouth arched up, his gaze brimming with sincere admiration.
"All of this is thanks to Xu Lang."
Duan Shuang floated upward lightly, her soft form instinctively nestling against Xu Ping. She lifted her exquisite face, her eyes brimming with reliance and reverence.
"Without Xu Lang bestowing the ‘Thousand Mechanism Skill’ upon this concubine, how could this concubine possess what she has now?"
Xu Ping naturally stretched out his arm, softly wrapping around her slim waist that fit perfectly in one grasp, sensing that incredible tenderness and chill, and chuckled:
"No need for such talk between us."
He paused briefly, then inquired caringly, "How goes your cultivation progress and your mastery of the musical arts?"
Mentioning the musical arts made the assurance in Duan Shuang’s eyes intensify. "Since my Divine Sense broke through, my grasp and command of tones and beats have sharpened several times over."
"This concubine feels certain that in no more than fifteen years, I’ll elevate my musical arts to Fourth Rank Middle Grade. However..."
Her voice hitched a bit, a touch of shyness emerging. "Regarding the breakthrough to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul... this concubine holds zero confidence in her heart."
In the Nascent Soul Realm, each advancement felt like climbing to the heavens; every small realm required vast fortunes and buildup.
The mid-stage hurdle proved especially daunting, ensnaring myriad gifted cultivators of exceptional talent.
Many lingered there for centuries without progress; others succumbed to qi deviation madness from desperate attempts.
"No need to fret too much. Cultivation’s path demands patience, not haste."
"When conditions align, your husband will procure the ideal Spiritual Objects for your advancement and stand vigil personally, ensuring your triumph in a single push."
"Given your aptitude and base, reaching mid-stage is merely a question of time." Xu Ping comforted her.
His reassurance sparked waves of warmth in Duan Shuang’s starry eyes, a subtle mist glistening within.
Abruptly, she tiptoed up, whispering into Xu Ping’s ear, her hot breath grazing his lobe, her tone laced with playful allure:
"Xu Lang... this concubine just formed her Divine Sense. It feels like my realm remains a tad unsteady."
"I need to find someone whose Divine Sense vastly outstrips mine, to discuss deeply with him and truly stabilize it."
Xu Ping’s eyebrows rose faintly as he regarded the unusual boldness and flirtatious pose of the enchantress in his hold, though he wavered:
"Engaging in that right after breakthrough... won’t it shake your foundation?"
His question only amplified the sly glint in Duan Shuang’s lovely eyes. Her delicate jade finger trailed softly over Xu Ping’s lips, her exhalation growing more seductive:
"That’s exactly why this concubine begs Xu Lang... to help this concubine stabilize it properly, stabilize it..."
How could Xu Ping back down from such bold enticement?
"In that case, your husband won’t hold back!"
Declaring this, Xu Ping lifted Duan Shuang’s supple, heated body into his embrace and marched back into the cave abode.
Not long afterward.
From within the cave abode, a harmonious zither tune wafted out.
Initially, the zither notes flowed like a babbling brook, soft and leisurely, soothing the spirit.
With time, the melody swelled into fervor and intensity, resembling rampaging torrents, gripping the hearer’s senses inescapably.
Only after an indeterminate while did the exalted strains gradually fade, settling back into tranquil calm.
Inside the cave abode.
The rosy tint on Duan Shuang’s alluring cheeks lingered faintly. Her eyes half-lidded, she resembled a lazy kitten, snuggling contentedly in Xu Ping’s arms.
Xu Ping tilted his head down, beholding the enchanting beauty nestled in his embrace in her seductive form, a pampering smile of deep satisfaction curving his lips uncontrollably.
"How could a true man let himself be provoked so easily?"
A soft chuckle escaped Xu Ping as his fingers lightly traced her flawless, jade-smooth back, indulging in that velvety, silken feel.
Xu Ping then directed his mind inward, meticulously sensing the rewards from this round of Dual Cultivation.
Duan Shuang’s Divine Sense had freshly advanced to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul; its core foundation had grown substantially in both quality and volume.
Via this miraculous Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, Xu Ping distinctly sensed his own Divine Sense—which was already boundless like the sea—had expanded just a bit more.
Though this minor boost paled against his Sea of Consciousness, which matched the pinnacle of a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, like a mere droplet in the vast ocean—completely negligible.
Still, it marked a superb starting point, with importance far from trivial.
"Many a little makes a mickle, grains of sand can raise a tower..."
Xu Ping pondered silently, a keen glint flashing in his gaze. "When Shuang’Er’s cultivation advances further and her musical skills improve, the feedback benefits for me will surely multiply!"
To other Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, such a path would seem like an inconceivable cultivation shortcut.
At that realm, each bit of cultivation progress or tiniest enhancement in Divine Sense demanded vast rare resources or relentless refinement across endless years.
However, Xu Ping gained a steady flow of feedback benefits—small but persistent—through his Dao-companion’s ongoing progress and breakthroughs.
"If one day... Shuang’Er’s cultivation reaches Late-Stage Nascent Soul as well..."
An idea sparked in Xu Ping’s mind, igniting fervor in his heart.
By then, with their Divine Senses harmonizing during another Dual Cultivation, the gains would probably surge to a whole new level.
It could even propel his Divine Sense toward that fabled height—the domain of a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch.
That stood as the ultimate peak within the mortal realm.
Gazing down upon all life, utterly free under the heavens and across the lands!
