Chapter 503 224: Hourglass
The moment he spread his Divine Sense this time, he immediately noticed a difference!
Not only had the range of his Divine Sense increased tremendously,
but he also felt a strange, wondrous sensation…
'…It's as if… my Divine Sense… now has a hint of power?'
The feeling was incredibly strange.
His eyes lit up as his gaze swept over the tea set on the table before him.
With a thought, he focused his Divine Sense, trying to pull the teacup toward him!
But as soon as the thought formed, he suddenly felt a "weight"—a weight that came from the teacup!
It was as if his formless Spirit had found a fulcrum!
'Don't I need fifty grams for the Illusion and Reality Shift? This…'
Qin Fang was astonished.
But he soon realized something…
'No, what Su Nian called the Illusion and Reality Shift… must refer to a sufficiently drastic change.'
'And right now… although I can feel the "weight" of my Divine Sense, it's clearly… still very faint.'
'For example, right now, this teacup feels as heavy as a mountain in my Perception!'
'This kind of change is obviously meaningless…'
Understanding gradually dawned on Qin Fang.
He stared at the teacup, certain that his Divine Sense had already "gripped" it.
But he just couldn't lift it.
After a long while, he gave up.
But his eyes were shining brightly…
'If I could actually lift this… would that count as… Telekinesis?'
Telekinesis!
A Superpower!
…He couldn't help but feel a thrill.
'Er… well, okay, Flying is also a 'Superpower,' isn't it?'
But he was already used to that.
But the allure of 'Telekinesis' was still immense!
It was no less thrilling than when he had first learned to fly!
Even more so!
After a moment of contemplation, his eyes glinting, he slowly withdrew his Divine Sense.
'My Divine Sense can reach a maximum of 150 meters now… I haven't reached Minor Achievement yet, but this is already a huge improvement!'
In terms of sheer area, that was an increase of over fifty percent!
This was excellent!
'No wonder it's so hard to hold back once you start cultivating the Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill… Even I feel an impatient urge to cultivate faster…'
Qin Fang sighed, gradually understanding just how tempting the Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill was.
Even he, despite knowing the dangers, felt an impatient desire to absorb fifty grams of Concentrating Iron Heart Jade as soon as possible, just to grant his Divine Sense the Illusion and Reality Shift.
And his willpower was considered quite astounding.
What hope did others have?
Besides, the mysteries of Divine Sense were clearly far more complex than just the Illusion and Reality Shift.
All sorts of other abilities would appear later on.
Under the temptation of these various profound and mysterious powers… there were probably very few who could maintain their composure and stay true to themselves!
Qin Fang closed his eyes and composed himself. After a long while, he let out a soft breath, completely suppressing the urge to continue his Contemplation.
'…The path must be walked one step at a time.'
Cultivating Divine Sense was incredibly perilous. If he acted rashly… he would probably suffer a mishap long before it was time for Breaking Through!
'Hmm, the honey Su Nian mentioned might help heal Divine Sense… I can't just ignore that.'
He considered the matter seriously.
'If that's true, then it means… that Treasure Plant is very likely something similar to the Concentrating Iron Heart Jade.'
'In that case, its value to me would be immense…'
However, of the honey he brought back last time, only a tiny bit remained with his master; the rest had already been distributed and consumed.
…Looks like I'll have to make a trip back to Old Ox Back.
It's not like I have a choice.
He had originally planned to go into seclusion last time.
But in his haste to search for clues about his master's disappearance, he had left behind the seven to eight hundred thousand True Essence Pills he'd exchanged for on Old Ox Back.
'Perfect. I'll go into seclusion again and try to break through to the Condensing Realm… At the same time, I'll research that honey and see if it really has an effect on Divine Sense. If it does… then that Treasure Plant will be even more valuable.'
Qin Fang's eyes glinted. With the Three Religions stirring up trouble, he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
His current True Essence Second Realm was clearly not enough.
'After reaching the Condensing Realm, I can enter the Heavenly Gang Secret Realm… It's said to be very helpful for one's Cultivation there… and it's also related to Condensing Gang…'
Once he reached the True Gang realm, Qin Fang's strength would take a qualitative leap!
Of course, the improvement from reaching the Condensing Realm would also be immense.
However, the Condensing Realm was really just a further consolidation of True Essence… It hadn't yet reached the level of "True Gang," so there wouldn't be a qualitative change. At most, his True Essence would become more abundant and his recovery speed would increase.
But upon reaching the "True Gang" realm, the quality of his Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor would leap from being powered by True Essence directly to "True Gang"!
What's the difference, you ask? …Remember the great battle Yue Shan had with that giant Flesh Puppet?
Although Yue Shan was weaker than the giant Flesh Puppet in terms of raw power, his defense was maxed out!
The giant Flesh Puppet struck him so many times, but because Yue Shan had his Body Protection True Gang, he completely withstood the damage!
…After Qin Fang reached the True Gang realm, his Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor would be composed of True Gang as well.
He couldn't say it would be comparable to Yue Shan's Body Protection True Gang…
…but it would definitely be far superior to its current state.
It might seem like it would still be broken with a single poke against an existence like the Ji Ai Old Ghost…
…but you have to take things one step at a time, right?
True Gang, Guizhen…
And then, he could step into the Fifth Realm, the Divine Realm!
'Senior Brother Yun is in the Fifth Realm… but because of his Divine Sense, he has a chance of resisting even an existence like the Sect Leader.'
'No matter how weak I am in comparison, once I reach the Fifth Realm, I probably won't be so easily erased by someone like the Ji Ai Old Ghost, right?'
After all… his master was only in the Sixth Realm.
'Master Xuan… is probably a bit stronger than my master, right?'
