Chapter 1: Who is whose scenery!

  "This little guy is really making a big fuss, I couldn't even sleep well!" The old man in black robes yawned and muttered to himself: "How many days has it been? Rushing through the mid-term of the Foundational Stage, shouldn't he be about to succeed soon?"

  "Huh?"

  "It's been almost three days!"

  The old man in black robes looked at Ye Xuan.

  Only to see Ye Xuan's expression was focused, his face occasionally dripping with sweat, his breath changing at every moment, and he had already stepped into the middle of Guyuan. The medicinal power of Huiguang Dan had not been exhausted yet, and when it was almost used up, it would be the time for him to successfully enter the middle of Guyuan!

  "Practice diligently, don't expect to tread the Emperor's path. With this self-preservation strength, entering the Three Saints Palace is enough to carry on the legacy of your clan!" The black-robed elder muttered to himself.

  Ye Xuan naturally couldn't hear these words.

  His expression was focused to the extreme—

  Nothing can be heard!

  "It's almost done!!"

  Ye Xuan slowly absorbed the medicinal properties.

  At this time.

  His body suddenly shook violently, and after this shake, his advancing breath completely stopped, and he was frozen in place.

  And upon further observation, his breath became even stronger.

  Success!

  Already

  Successfully entered the middle stage of Jieyuan.

  "Congratulations, little guy, you've entered the mid-term of Guyuan!" The old man in black robes yawned again and said lazily: "When you enter the peak of Guyuan later, I'll pass on to you the third True Qi Lock. By the way, during this period of time, after being tempered by those two True Qi Locks, have you found that your strength has increased greatly?"

  Ye Xuan successfully advanced in rank and opened his eyes.

  When he heard the old man in black ask a question, Ye Xuan also showed a smile.

  "The seal of true energy within the body, constantly suppressing and refining it. During this period, I have already felt that my internal true energy is gradually adapting. In the past, before opening the seal of true energy, I could only exert the strength of a Flying Heaven cultivator, but after some time, I also gradually gained the ability to exert about 30-50% of the strength of a Yuan Foundation stage cultivator. Now that I have entered the middle stage of Yuan Foundation, I can already exert the peak strength of a Yuan Foundation stage cultivator!" Ye Xuan smiled and said.

  The difference between the early and middle stages of consolidation is a small boundary.

  Two true energies suppressed, Ye Xuan's mid-term foundation period could still exert the strength of his pre-foundation period, indeed a result of being tempered by the True Energy Lock.

  If it were at the beginning, I'm afraid even the strength of the early Yuan Dynasty couldn't be brought into play.

  The true energy is tempered at all times.

  If Ye Xuan's strength doesn't increase, ten years later, even if he doesn't unlock the True Qi Lock, Ye Xuan will still be able to exert his mid-term Foundational stage peak strength!

  "Heh heh, now that you've unlocked the seal of true energy, defeating a strong opponent at the peak of the Foundational Stage would be easy!" The black-robed elder said proudly.

  Ye Xuan also sighed in his heart.

  These are just two True Qi locks. Given time, all twelve True Qi locks will be tempered and when they are unlocked again, how powerful will it be?

  The old man in black robes gazed at Ye Xuan, seemingly guessing what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "Youngster, don't think too far ahead. I know what you're thinking. If you were to fully merge all twelve True Qi Locks into your body, how much lower would your strength be suppressed? Of course, it's a different story when they are completely unlocked! However, don't overthink the Twelve Locks of True Qi either. Even if all twelve locks are unlocked, wanting to reach the Sky Rank from the Qi Sea Realm is still utterly impossible!"

  Ye Xuan was at a loss for words and couldn't help but laugh and cry upon hearing the black-robed old man's words.

  What is the boundary between the aerial battlefield and the ocean?

  How is that possible?

  After a moment of contemplation, Ye Xuan immediately stood up and said: "I would like to ask for your guidance on how to transform my spiritual consciousness into physical form!"

  "Oh, can't wait any longer?" The old man in black robes stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

  Ye Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

  The old man in black robes chuckled and said, "What cultivation method are you using to train your divine sense? Take it out and let me see!"

  "Hmm!"

  Ye Xuan nodded and immediately took out the two divine sense cultivation methods that he had given to Xiao Chui.

  One "Divine Movement Realm", one "Divine Movement Needle".

  Two divine consciousness cultivation techniques.

  The old man in black robes accepted the two books of divine sense cultivation secrets and began to flip through them.

  Just after a glance, the old man in black robe started blowing his beard and glaring his eyes.

  "Divine Movement Domain?"

  "Divine Needle?"

  "What kind of spiritual cultivation method is this, it's not even a real spiritual cultivation method, and yet you dare to create a divine movement domain with a name like 'Divine Movement Needle'. I'm going to my grandma's, I really don't know what to be ashamed of, what kind of spiritual cultivation method is this? You can at least be considered half a genius, cultivating this crap!" The black-robed old man scolded loudly.

  Ye Xuan's face turned awkward, and he said, "Is... is it that bad?"

  This is also Xiao Yu's own skill, which is the core figure of the Baohua Pond and other pool masters who cultivate their divine consciousness. In the eyes of the black-robed old man, it's so bad?

  "Hmph, it's not just inferior!" The old man in black robes said with a snort: "It's simply inferior to the extreme, completely misleading, greatly misleading. Where is the divine consciousness cultivated like this? If you cultivate according to the above, I'll pull you back, don't know how many detours you've taken! Hmph!"

  Ye Xuan blinked his eyes, and it was clear that this old man was very angry.

  The old man in black robes scolded: "What is divine consciousness? The original teachings were 'divine roaming in the void', and what does it mean to roam in the void? Simply put, it means distraction. Even if one's mind is distracted and wandering, they must still focus and concentrate. Even when forming a divine consciousness domain, one must concentrate on unity. But what kind of cultivation is this divine journey domain? It actually requires dispersal, dispersing into what? How can the divine prestige be condensed?"

  "It's a good thing you didn't cultivate this Divine Movement Domain! Otherwise, how many detours would you have had to take!"

  The old man in black let out a long sigh of relief.

  "What about the Divine Movement Needle?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask.

  "The Divine Movement Needle is passable, although the path was crooked in the end, at least when you condensed it into a needle shape during the first stage of cultivation, it was correct. You relied on this Divine Movement Needle to cultivate your divine sense to the initial stage of the first stage, and then I will teach you an even more powerful divine sense technique!" The black-robed old man hummed and said.

  "Hmm!"

  Ye Xuan nodded: "During cultivation, I also hope that seniors will give more guidance!"

  "That's for certain!" The old man in black replied.

  The next moment, Ye Xuan followed the instructions of Shen Xing and began to cultivate his spiritual consciousness. The first step was to separate his spiritual consciousness from his body, and the second step was to give shape to his spiritual consciousness.

  The first step was that Ye Xuan could already achieve it when he opened the Brain God Position, but it was difficult for him to shape his divine consciousness.

  "Gather!"

  Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and shouted.

  At the moment of convergence, he only felt a sudden heat in his head, and the next moment, a wave of pain swept through his brain, as if countless silver needles were fiercely stabbing his brain!

  When the brain is concentrated to the extreme, the mind will be extremely painful!

  And when consciousness converges into form, it is a process of gathering to an extreme!

  Of course——

  If you don't get over this hurdle, how can you possibly cultivate your divine consciousness further?

  "Unite!"

  "Unite!"

  "Bang!"

  At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a loud bang in his head, and the next moment, he was buzzing with chaotic thoughts.

  The gathering failed.

  Ye Xuan leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

  "You shouldn't have condensed your divine sense into this form, this divine sense needle is still a bit too low-level. Remember, when condensing your divine sense, it's not just about concentrating until you're sweating profusely, if you still have the chance to breathe and sweat, that's also considered concentration?" The black-robed elder said.

  "Is there still room for breath?"

  Ye Xuan was taken aback for a moment.

  That's right.

  If he still has a chance to breathe and still has the mind to breathe, then that's also considered concentration.

  It seemed that Ye Xuan had gained some insight from the old man in black's words and immediately perked up.

  The gods gather once more!

  "Unite!"

  "Gather!"

  "Bang!"

  After a while, Ye Xuan's head rang again.

  Failed again.

  "I told you, you shouldn't have done it that way, you should have done it the way I said, why did you still do it like that?!"

  Ye Xuan took a deep breath.

  Gather once again.

  Still failed.

  "Your brain is made of pig's brains!"

  "Come again!"

  The old man in black knew that the convergence of divine consciousness was not something that could be achieved overnight, and Ye Xuan had only failed three times, how could he possibly succeed. However, by scolding Ye Xuan like this, he naturally made him even more focused.

  "Failed again!"

  "Come again!"

  "How many times have I told you!"

  The old man in black robes shouted loudly.

  "Huh?"

  "Don't move!"

  "Right, right, it's like that, huh? You little scamp, you've actually gathered into a needle!"

  Just a moment ago, the old man in black was still scolding with great vigor.

  But in the next moment, the old man's eyes widened.

  Because...

  Ye Xuan had failed over a dozen times, yet he actually managed to condense his divine consciousness into shape!

  This——

  How is this possible!

  Rare!

  Too rare!

  This is simply a genius at cultivating spiritual consciousness!

  Even if it were the revered Lord in Black, he would have no choice but to think so!

  At first he scolded Ye Xuan to give him motivation, but now, he never thought that in just a short while, Ye Xuan would condense his divine consciousness into a needle!

  He may not know.

  Focus, concentration and calmness are the greatest skills for a doctor, and the more excellent the doctor is, the more he can apply these three with ease.
