Chapter 513 - 36: Harvest
’Soul Emergence Eighth Layer!’
Within the Spirit Transformation Pool Blessed Land,
Shen Changchuan felt the vast, sea-like Magical Power coursing through his body and his further enhanced Divine Sense, making him feel more powerful than ever before!
He could feel it.
After this breakthrough,
both his Magical Power and Divine Sense had undergone a transformative improvement.
He was now confident,
he could take on more than three of his former selves and not lose!
Because the improvement from this Realm breakthrough,
was an all-encompassing enhancement!
’No wonder. In the Soul Emergence Late Stage, each new layer is a world of difference in power.’
’My Magical Power, Divine Sense, and even my Physique have all improved significantly... In the Soul Emergence Late Stage, even the slightest gap can be enough to tip the scales of victory, let alone an improvement this massive?’
’What’s more, the transformation and enhancement of my Divine Sense have made my Divine Soul feel much more lucid, and my thoughts have become more active.’
’It’s no wonder Master repeatedly stressed the importance of one’s Cultivation Realm, telling me to reach the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Realm as quickly as possible before getting distracted by other things.’
’Because after advancing to the Ninth Layer, my Divine Sense will be even stronger, making it easier to learn other things! Compared to cultivating High Tier Magic at the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer Realm, doing it now will yield twice the results with half the effort!’
Clarity dawned on Shen Changchuan.
He now fully understood,
the reason for the disappointed look on Master Wandering Dragon’s face when he had asked for that Tier Two Top Level Skill and declared his intention to ignore his master’s advice and force himself to cultivate it.
If he were in Master Wandering Dragon’s shoes,
he too would have been disappointed in a disciple so eager for quick success.
Not everyone was like him,
possessing a progress bar panel that let him see his cultivation progress at any time, and relying on the panel to continuously accumulate Perfection Trait Experience for his Magic, which in turn lowered the cultivation threshold for similar Skills.
Because of this special ability,
cultivating High Tier Magic was extremely profitable for Shen Changchuan.
Even at the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer, it was still worth it for him to grind a Tier Two Top Level Skill.
But for anyone else,
it would have been a path of pointless suffering.
’I’ve reached the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Realm. Next is the Ninth Layer Realm.’
’That shouldn’t be a problem for now.’
’If I work hard and have enough Cultivation Resources, eight years should be enough.’
A glint appeared in Shen Changchuan’s eyes.
A goal that was once out of reach,
was now in sight.
This caused a certain thought Shen Changchuan had previously cast aside,
to be rekindled once more!
’My crude spatial impact technique is far too flawed. The more people who see it, the easier it will be for them to discover its weaknesses in future battles. Eventually, they’ll figure out how to counter it, and it’ll become useless...’
’The participants in this Immortal Sect’s Grand Competition won’t just be disciples from the Immortal Sect and the young prodigies of the Thirty-Six Small Domains. There will also be participants from top-tier factions from the Outer Great Domain, ones on par with the Yuqing Immortal Sect. It’s bound to be a gathering of masters.’
’If I want to be absolutely sure of obtaining the opportunity to advance to the Divine Travel Realm, I’d better create Spatial Slash. I need to infuse the Power of Space into my Magic, allowing it to curve and pursue my target, leaving them with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!’
’Only a power like the Power of Space—a force that’s practically a Dimensional Strike—can allow me to truly shine at the Immortal Sect’s Grand Competition!’
At this moment,
with his Cultivation having broken through to the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer,
Shen Changchuan’s resolve hardened once more.
He had to try!
Shen Chong had given him a way to enter the Xiangshan Sect Gate Ruins, and he’d heard that there was a Secret Realm within those ruins that could greatly enhance one’s Comprehension.
If the rumors were true,
if that Secret Realm that could boost Comprehension really existed,
then he might actually be able to realize his idea of integrating the Power of Space into his Sword Magic!
’Once I’m done here and I get back, it’ll be time to investigate the old Xiangshan Sect Ruins!’
Shen Changchuan thought to himself.
In his mind, for the journey ahead,
he now had a rough plan.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind,
Shen Changchuan glanced around.
At this time,
they were all submerged in a mysterious Spiritual Liquid, one filled with Spiritual Qi and Spirit Charm.
The Round Jade Platform beneath each of them had raised a translucent Shield, forming protective enclosures resembling giant, smooth pebbles, keeping them safe within the Spirit Transformation Pool.
A faint white light glowed in Shen Changchuan’s eyes. His gaze pierced through the Shield of his Round Jade Platform to examine the liquid outside.
But perhaps the nature of this Spiritual Liquid was too profound;
even using his True Seeing Eyes,
Shen Changchuan couldn’t discern anything from it.
’The Spirit Transformation Pool... The world is truly vast and full of wonders!’
Although he couldn’t discern the Spirit Transformation Pool’s secrets,
Shen Changchuan could feel,
that at this very moment, being in this Spirit Transformation Pool, the Magical Power in his body had become more active.
His Heart Spirit seemed to merge with the heavens and the earth, his perspective blending into the world itself. His thoughts grew lively, and concepts in his cultivation that were once incomprehensible suddenly became crystal clear. He even became aware of flaws in his past training that he had previously failed to notice.
’A Blessed Land, indeed... I wonder if the legendary place in the Xiangshan Sect Gate Ruins, the one said to enhance Comprehension, is also a place similar to this.’
The thought flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind.
After letting his mind wander for a moment,
Shen Changchuan was about to refocus. He wanted to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to organize his thoughts on his past training and see if he could make even more progress.
Just then,
a fluctuation emanated from a nearby "Jade Egg".
It was the kind of ripple caused by someone breaking through to a new Cultivation Realm in the liquid of the Spirit Transformation Pool!
Such ripples weren’t rare,
because many people in the Spirit Transformation Pool had already successfully broken through.
But when Shen Changchuan glanced in the direction of the fluctuation,
his eyes narrowed.
’So it’s him!’
The source of the breakthrough’s ripple was none other than Xiao Chenyang!
’He was so badly injured, yet he can still break through? Don’t tell me this Spirit Transformation Pool has healing properties, too?’
The thought flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind, and he couldn’t help but be suspicious.
After all, his opponent had been seriously injured by the direct hit from his palm strike, which had been infused with the Power of Space.
Being injured,
would naturally affect one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit,
drastically reducing the success rate of a forced breakthrough.
And given how severe Xiao Chenyang’s injuries had appeared, the negative impact should have been even greater!
Attempting a breakthrough while seriously injured,
was basically impossible!
