Cultivation Starts from Farming
Chapter 1038 - 442: Divinity Transformation Divine Sense; Minor Achievement of First Stage_3
Xu Ping attempted to restrain his Divine Sense, no longer forcibly absorbing, but instead causing slight ripples in a manner more gentle and harmonious with the rhythm of heaven and earth.
In an instant.
Within the cave dwelling, and even in the sky above the entire Blood Bone Island, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed as if summoned by a king, becoming incredibly docile and enthusiastic, rushing towards his position in a frenzy.
The Spiritual Qi became so dense that it formed liquid Spiritual Liquid around him as if in substance.
"Excellent, excellent!"
Xu Ping felt increasingly delighted, "With just this point, the speed of future Mana cultivation will greatly accelerate."
"The time it takes me to cultivate to Nascent Soul Perfection can be significantly reduced."
Apart from assisting in cultivation, the changes brought by the Divine Sense of Divinity Transformation are far more extensive.
His perception of the rules of heaven and earth, as well as his own comprehension ability, underwent earth-shattering changes.
The swordsmanship principles and the complexities of arrays that once seemed obscure and difficult now appeared orderly and easier to grasp under the insight of the Divine Sense of Divinity Transformation.
To verify this feeling, Xu Ping rose gracefully and came to the widest area of his cave dwelling, a place resembling an arena for martial practice.
In his hand, a flash of spiritual light and the Canghua Divine Wood Sword appeared prominently.
Then, he did not mobilize any Mana, nor did he invoke any vital energy.
He simply held the sword in hand, relying on the profound control of his muscles, bones, and even the flow of every ounce of force afforded by the Divine Sense of Divinity Transformation, along with his outsider level of comprehension, to begin practicing swordsmanship entirely according to his will.
The movements seemed slow, like an ordinary person, each move simple and unadorned.
But if a master of Sword Dao were present, they would be shocked to discover that each of Xu Ping’s movements perfectly aligned with the swordsmanship principles.
The trajectory of the sword tip seemed to create a strange resonance with the surrounding void.
He was not repeating fixed sword moves but using the sword to elucidate his understanding of "sword intent forming momentum," merging and evolving countless complicated sword lights in his mind using basic movements as a way to theorize and validate.
Without employing Mana, he focused more on the unification of "intent" and "momentum."
Under the absolute control and enhanced comprehension afforded by the Divine Sense of Divinity Transformation.
His understanding of Sword Dao was advancing steadily and firmly toward the threshold of "Minor Achievement."
.....
The passage of time was unclear.
Perhaps it was a moment, perhaps it was eternity.
Xu Ping’s originally calm as an ancient well body suddenly froze.
In his eyes seemed to be countless sword shadows emerging and extinguishing, ultimately concentrating into a point of extreme sharpness.
"Slash!"
The dormant Nascent Soul within Xu Ping abruptly opened its eyes, with pure Mana far exceeding that of a typical Late-Stage Nascent Soul, furiously flooding into the hand-held Canghua Divine Wood Sword like a burst dam.
Next, the Divine Wood Sword in his hand appeared slow but actually was faster than lightning as it was suddenly slashed forward.
There was no specific target; this slash aimed at the void, at the rules, at the "intent" condensed in his mind.
Boom!!
In an instant, centered on Xu Ping, countless refined as substance blue-gold sword rays appeared out of thin air.
These sword rays interconnected and gathered as if forming a vast, boundless, and perpetually flowing galaxy of sword light.
The galaxy revolved and streamed around him, each drop of "river water" containing terrifying Sword Qi.
The gathered Sword Qi emitted a fierce Sword Intent that caused the void of the entire cave dwelling to hum and tremble under unbearable stress, with restriction light curtains madly flickering on the verge of shattering.
This was merely the beginning!
In the next moment, under the absolute control of Divine Sense, that vast sword light galaxy seemed to be powerfully compressed by an invisible hand!
"Condense!"
Xu Ping’s thoughts moved again.
The rushing sword light galaxy suddenly collapsed inward, merging.
Thousands of sword lights devoured and combined with each other in a fraction of a second.
The number of sword lights rapidly diminished at an alarming speed, five thousand, three thousand, one thousand five hundred...
Finally, all the sword lights, all the Sword Intent, all the Mana, were entirely condensed into over a thousand ultimately refined and seemingly formed from pure Sword Dao Law *blue-gold sword gales.
These over a thousand sword gales hovered around Xu Ping, no longer flowing, like world-ending thunder poised to strike.
The pressure they emitted no longer carried the violent force of the Nascent Soul level, demanding even Divinity Transformation cultivators to regard it with caution.
One sword to emerge, a thousand gales to follow.
Sword Intent forming momentum, Minor Achievement complete.
"Whew...."
Xu Ping slowly sheathed his sword, and the thousand or so unsettling sword gales quietly dissipated as if they had never appeared.
He could hardly contain a radiant smile on his face.
"Minor Achievement.... complete!"
If not for the Divine Sense breaking through to the Divinity Transformation level first, bringing a qualitative change in control and comprehension, crossing this key step through conventional cultivation would likely take years of grinding effort.
With a thought, the practice panel naturally appeared:
[Sword Intent forming momentum (Minor Achievement) 1/800]
...
Looking at the panel’s information, the fiery anticipation in Xu Ping’s eyes grew ever stronger.
"Next, it’s the realm of great achievement, needing to further refine these thousand sword gales into a hundred, whose power will surely surge again."
"And finally, reaching the realm of Perfection, merging the hundred swords into one, forming an original sword gale containing supreme Sword Momentum... that might truly threaten the life of Divinity Transformation cultivators."
