Chapter 184: Orifice Transformation, Divine Soul Surge
"This epiphany regarding the divine soul is indeed distinct from the state of understanding and learning my abilities."
After an unknown period of time, Lu Qing emerged from his epiphany, his eyes filled with awe.
At that moment, he felt incredible.
He had complete control over everything around him.
Not only had his sensory abilities increased significantly, but his control over his physical body had also reached a whole new level.
With a mere thought, he immersed his mind once more into the brow chakra.
The brow chakra had undergone a profound transformation.
Not only had the chakra space expanded severalfold, increasing the capacity for divine soul power, but the white mist representing divine soul power had also become denser.
The combination of these enhancements had resulted in a more than tenfold increase in his divine soul power compared to before.
At the center of his brow chakra, a dimly glowing divine soul talisman emanated an ancient, profound, and majestic aura as it hovered in mid-air, absorbing and refining the surrounding white mist of divine soul power.
With each absorption and refinement, Lu Qing could feel his divine soul power subtly strengthening.
"According to my previous estimation, before the refinement of the divine soul talisman, my divine soul power was already comparable to that of a martial artist in the initial stage of the Innate realm, not far off from that of the elder ancestor of the Wei family."
"Now that the divine soul talisman has been formed, my divine soul power has surged tremendously. In terms of the sheer strength of my divine soul power, I can easily overpower most ordinary martial artists in the initial stage of the Innate realm."
The human divine soul has always been shrouded in mystery and is incredibly elusive.
Even Innate realm warriors have a limited understanding of it and find it challenging to fathom, let alone grasp its true essence.
Without a specialized cultivation technique, it is extremely difficult for an Innate realm warrior to strengthen their divine soul power through cultivation alone.
Typically, one's divine soul power only increases during breakthroughs in cultivation, when one's body undergoes a transformation under the baptism of the heavenly laws.
However, divine soul cultivation techniques are exceedingly rare and precious. Apart from a handful of top-tier powers with ancient and prestigious legacies, ordinary Innate realm warriors have no access to them.
Therefore, unless they stumble upon some fortuitous opportunity, the divine soul power of typical initial-stage Innate realm warriors doesn't vary significantly.
With the transformation of Lu Qing's brow chakra and the formation of the divine soul talisman, his divine soul power had far surpassed that of a typical initial-stage Innate realm warrior.
It was likely on par with those in the early stages of the Innate realm.
Most importantly, under the constant refinement of the divine soul talisman, his divine soul power was continually strengthening.
Although each refinement only resulted in an almost imperceptible increase, the cumulative effect over time would be substantial.
"Coupled with the Incense Furnace Observation Technique, my divine soul power still has immense room for growth in the days to come."
Lu Qing was delighted.
With his possession of several top-tier legacies and the guidance of his master's teachings and personal example, he understood the importance of a robust divine soul power in the path of cultivation.
A stronger divine soul power and higher enlightenment would make it easier to comprehend the ways of the Innate realm, leading to faster progress.
The stronger the foundation, the greater the benefits reaped during breakthroughs.
Even before reaching the Innate realm, Lu Qing already possessed a divine soul power far beyond that of an ordinary initial-stage Innate realm warrior.
Once he truly stepped into the Innate realm and underwent the baptism of heavenly laws, how much further would his divine soul power evolve?
Lu Qing was eager to find out.
"Moreover..."
Lu Qing extended his right hand, and with a slight stir of his consciousness, a tiny talisman slowly took form on his fingertip, exuding a peculiar aura.
"Now that the divine soul talisman has been formed, I can finally utilize some of the methods of Talisman Dao."
This explained why the path of Talisman Dao was so challenging.
Even with his abilities and numerous fortuitous encounters, it had still taken Lu Qing over two years to refine his divine soul talisman.
Chapter: Unknown
"It's common knowledge that practitioners of the Talisman Dao path would typically take a much longer time to reach this stage."
Before the Divine Soul Talisman is fully formed, cultivators of the Talisman Dao have little means of self-preservation.
Unless they also study other systems, pure Talisman Dao cultivators, prior to the condensation of their Divine Soul Talisman, might not even stand a chance against a Qi and Blood Realm warrior.
However, one's energy is limited.
The practice of the Talisman Dao is already challenging enough; if one also studies other cultivation methods, their progress will be even slower.
Those with inferior aptitudes may not even get through the door.
"I wonder if this has anything to do with the disappearance of the Divine Talisman Sect."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Qing's mind.
"But regardless, I've finally condensed the Divine Soul Talisman.
I was just pondering whether to break through to the Innate Realm, but now I don't have to rush. I'll first practice some of the Talisman Dao techniques."
A year ago, Lu Qing had already cultivated to the Master level of the Internal Organs Realm, reaching its pinnacle.
In addition, his Divine Soul power had long been tempered and was extremely powerful.
If he had wanted to, he could have used his Divine Soul power to pry open his acupoints, connect the bridge between heaven and earth, and undergo the transformation to Innate a long time ago.
However, due to a certain inexplicable premonition, Lu Qing had refrained from doing so.
Now, with the impending changes in the heavens and earth and the imminent full recovery of spiritual energy, Lu Qing felt that if he rashly achieved Innateness, he would miss a great opportunity.
At that time, Lu Qing's Divine Soul Talisman was already partially condensed, its framework in place, so he trusted his intuition and suppressed his cultivation base, avoiding the breakthrough.
Now that the Divine Soul Talisman had fully formed and his Divine Soul power had greatly increased, this subtle perception became even stronger, making Lu Qing even less eager to break through.
"Coincidentally, my master is planning to travel to Zhongzhou soon to make use of the opportunity to enter the Sacred Mountain and Sacred Pool.
Zhongzhou is the most prosperous and wealthy place in the Nine Provinces, a true land of talented people and prosperous nature. Perhaps I can gather some useful information there."
After making his decision, Lu Qing retracted his aura and got up from the bed.
As he exited the secret chamber, he saw Xiao Li curled up in her little den, fast asleep.
Next to her was a half-open storybook and a few scattered fish snacks.
Even with Lu Qing's presence, she showed no signs of waking up.
"You little rascal, living the good life, huh?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Qing couldn't help but smile.
However, he also knew that Xiao Li was this carefree because she was extremely familiar with his aura and trusted him implicitly.
If it were a stranger, she would probably have woken up as soon as they entered her sensory range.
He walked over and tugged on her little ear.
"Xiao Li, wake up."
Xiao Li stirred sleepily and blinked her eyes open wide when she saw Lu Qing.
"Woof?"
"Yeah, I'm out of seclusion. How many days has it been?"
Xiao Li held up three little claws.
"Three days?"
Lu Qing was surprised.
It seemed that the transformation of his brow chakra had taken longer than he had thought.
He had assumed it was only a day at most.
"Woof?" Xiao Li barked again.
"That's right, get your things together, we're going home."
Hearing this answer, Xiao Li immediately jumped out of her den, grabbed her storybook and bedding, and stuffed them into Lu Qing's arms. She then hopped onto his shoulder, signaling that they could leave.
"You little rascal, missing Xiao Yan that much, huh?"
Seeing Xiao Li's anxious expression, Lu Qing shook his head helplessly and put their things away into the Qiankun Bag.
Then, with Xiao Li on his shoulder, he headed out of the cave.
