Ji Yuan finally achieved late-stage Core Formation after consuming the Demonic Blood Pill. He then explored his upgraded Enlightenment Room, discovering a Transparent Fruit that temporarily boosted his comprehension. He reviewed the upgrade conditions for the Enlightenment Room to Level 4, noting the difficulty in acquiring the necessary resources. Next, Ji Yuan entered the Meditation Room and decided to upgrade it to Level 3, as he had met the condition of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator with his Golden Core cultivation.

Ji Yuan could feel the surge benefiting his Divine Soul just by simply standing here.

"The upgrade effect is here again!"

With such a good opportunity, Ji Yuan naturally wasn’t willing to waste even the slightest bit of it.

He immediately sat down where he was, closed his eyes to rest his mind, and entered that mysterious meditative state.

...

A few days later.

Ji Yuan opened his eyes from his cultivation insights. Unlike earlier at the Mountain of Mind and Heart, back then his cultivation had just broken through and his aura was still somewhat unstable.

But now, not only had his cultivation firmly settled at Late-stage Core Formation Realm, his current Divine Soul had also received a tremendous enhancement.

So when Ji Yuan opened his eyes at this moment, there was a clear sense of divine light being restrained within.

His gaze calmly swept across the entire stone chamber, and then his Divine Sense surged out in all directions, covering everything like a tidal wave.

The entire island instantly appeared within his sea of consciousness, followed by a much larger surrounding stretch of sea.

Birds flying in the sky, fish swimming in the depths.

Bit by bit, inch by inch.

All were completely enveloped by Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense.

Only after a long while did he finally withdraw his Divine Sense with satisfaction.

"There’s still some gap compared to the Divine Sense of Mid-stage Nascent Soul, but what I lack is only time. With the current Level 3 [Meditation Room], as long as I nurture it for a period, there’s no need to worry about my Divine Sense failing to rise."

Having clearly sensed this, Ji Yuan let go of his concerns.

Right after, he glanced at the panel, looking at the Spirit Effect and Upgrade Conditions of the Level 4 [Meditation Room].

[Meditation Room: lv4 (cannot be upgraded)]

[Spirit Effect: Meditate to temper the Divine Soul, can increase Divine Sense of current realm by 800%.]

[Upgrade Conditions: At Nascent Soul Stage, kill 1 Divinity Transformation Cultivator. (Not achieved)]

Not bad.

Still the same as before.

Level 3 [Meditation Room] increases it by 500%, Level 4 [Meditation Room] increases it by 800%.

Following this calculation, wouldn’t a Level 5 [Meditation Room] be able to increase it by 1100%?

Compared to Same-tier Cultivators, what kind of experience would it be to have Divine Sense more than tenfold theirs?

Ji Yuan wanted to try that too.

Though that was still far off.

Looking at this Level 4 [Meditation Room] now, the requirement of killing a Divinity Transformation Cultivator while at Nascent Soul made Ji Yuan feel a headache.

Among the three continents around here, only the Desolate Ancient Continent had Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

On Cangluo Continent and Jiyuan Continent, the strongest cultivation was merely Late-stage Nascent Soul.

To kill a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, he would have to venture to other continents in the future.

After putting away the panel, Ji Yuan lay down in the [Meditation Room], emptying his mind and thinking about what to do next.

In the short term, there was definitely no need to go out again.

Next, Ji Yuan planned to stay on this desolate island and thoroughly digest the gains from this Secret Realm.

Especially the Storage Bags of those many Core Formation Cultivators; inside were not only various Spirit Stones, Magical Treasures, and Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

More importantly, there were also some Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques, worth carefully exploring and studying.

There were also the many Spirit Beasts he himself was raising.

It was about time to properly nurture them and see whether their strength could be increased as soon as possible.

Best would be if they could become powerful assistance like Meng Die back in Rashamon Sea.

And then there was body cultivation. Previously in Rashamon Sea he hadn’t had time to cultivate; now that he had some leisure, he needed to go to the Martial God Tower and cultivate for a period.

To see what exactly the phenomenon of the blazing sun hanging high in the sky that the Martial God Tower’s Artifact Spirit mentioned was.

On this point, when Ji Yuan had utilized his Body Cultivator strength in Rashamon Sea before, he had already felt a hint of it.

It felt as if when his blood and qi were stimulated to a certain degree, the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill would automatically circulate, causing his blood and qi to manifest behind him.

But for the specific details, he would definitely have to temper himself within the Martial God Tower to know.

As for going out again to temper himself, Ji Yuan felt it was unnecessary.

Unless he reached the extreme limit of Core Formation Stage and needed to go out to find a place for seclusion to attempt Nascent Soul Formation.

When the time came, he would still need to carefully choose a location.

Ji Yuan felt that when the time arrived, he should go find Junior Martial Uncle Long Ba, and have him contact Master Qingcheng...

Master Qingcheng had obtained the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl in Rashamon Sea; if nothing unexpected happened, his chances of advancing to Mid-stage Nascent Soul were quite high.

If he also broke through, then including him, Ji Yuan would have two Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators acting as his Guardians.

Attempting a breakthrough should be relatively safe, right?

But as for the specifics, he would have to wait until then to know.

After all, there was still quite some time before that; no one knew what might happen in the future.

Moreover, there was another point: after this breakthrough, the Mountain of Mind and Heart could once again continue to house buildings.

It just so happened he still had some Void Nether Stone stored beforehand.

When the time came, he could choose whether to incorporate the [Enlightenment Room] first or the [Meditation Room].

Having thought through the matters ahead, Ji Yuan was able to lie here more at ease, letting this place nourish his Divine Sense.

In this way, after half a month passed, Ji Yuan grew tired of staying in this [Meditation Room].

With a shift of his Heart Thought, he returned to the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

The place he appeared in was naturally the [Cave Mansion] within the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

Only, whereas he had previously always appeared inside the [Cave Mansion], this time he appeared at the [Cave Mansion] entrance.

The Cave Mansion was located at the center of the third layer of the Mountain of Mind and Heart, with the [Fish Pond] in front and the [Spirit Vein] behind.

After Ji Yuan came in, he appeared next to the [Fish Pond].

He also knew that although the Fish Pond looked only about one zhang wide on the outside, that was merely because he hadn’t stepped into the building’s interior.

Once he entered, it would no longer be this scene.

Just like now, Ji Yuan could see four... oh no, five Frost Serpents inside the [Fish Pond], each only about chopstick thickness.

But as soon as he stepped into the [Fish Pond], the scene he saw became completely different.

The little Fish Pond from before transformed into a vast ocean stretching beyond the limits of his sight.
