Sage of Humanity

Among the Nine Provinces, there are quite a few cultivators at the True Lake Level 9 Realm. These people have immersed themselves in this realm for years, elevating their foundation to the utmost, reaching the standard for physical strength, yet they still find it difficult to break through to the Divine Sea.

Thus, not everyone with the opportunity to break through to the Divine Sea can fulfill their wish. Only a few can transform the strength of their mental consciousness, nurturing the soul body, and transforming it into mental consciousness.

Lu Ye had long since taken this step, but it was due to a fortuitous circumstance, a protection from his subconscious under the stimulation of an external force.

Because his physical strength was still at the True Lake Realm level, and his mental consciousness was sufficient to control it, his mental consciousness hadn't grown much. According to the Senior Brother, only when one's physical foundation reaches a point where it becomes difficult for the mental consciousness to manage it, the subconscious will seek change. Only then will the opportunity for advancing to the Divine Sea arise.

Therefore, what Lu Ye needs to do now is very simple: continue cultivation to constantly enhance his physical foundation.

"Of course, while increasing your physical strength, you also need to temper your mental consciousness... Only by progressing in tandem can you achieve the best results. However, Junior Brother, your situation is unique. Where others face barriers in advancing to the Divine Sea, your path will likely be smoother."

After all, having already nurtured the soul body, there are no obstacles to speak of. As long as the strength accumulates adequately, the advancement will happen naturally.

"How do I temper my mental consciousness?" Lu Ye humbly asked for guidance.

Feng Wujiang smiled slightly: "For the average True Lake Realm cultivator, the best method to temper mental consciousness is visualization."

"Visualization?"

"During serene cultivation, visualize the structure of certain objects in your mind, striving to recreate them as completely as possible. Initially visualize simpler things, and once you become proficient, increase the difficulty. This process consumes mental power during the visualization. As your mental focus becomes fatigued, let it recover slowly, and through repeated consumption and recovery, your mental consciousness can be tempered," Feng Wujiang explained, looking at Lu Ye, "Cultivators from big sects usually start preparing for this even by the True Lake Level 7 or earlier to lay a good foundation. Each sect has its visualization techniques, with their own strengths and weaknesses, which are part of the sect's heritage and cannot be generalized. If you were in the Nine Provinces, the sect master would likely teach you these methods."

Lu Ye nodded; in this regard, his situation was a bit unsatisfactory, primarily because his cultivation progress was too rapid.
