Chapter 36: Sight of Divinity, Longevity Divine Foundation
Chapter 36: Sight of Divinity, Longevity Divine Foundation
The snow fell in a flurry, like a crane bowing gracefully, while the crisp wind blew into the sleeves.
In the rain-soaked alley, the sound of rain was absent, only the soft patter of snowflakes filled the air, a gentle and continuous melody.
Li Che's eyes burned with intensity, his heart pounding like a beating drum.
He raised his hand, and the divinity accumulated in his Pure Mind began to glow with a faint white radiance in his palm, hazy and indistinct, distorting the wind and snow.
"Joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and surprise—these are the seven emotions of divinity. The divine technique originates from these emotions, branching out from the major categories to form minor meridians, and eventually forging the divine foundation."
"Then how does the pure and flawless divinity I've gathered from my Pure Mind... help in forging the divine foundation?"
"Pure and flawless, like a blank sheet of paper. Can it be like painting on paper, allowing for the possibility of any divine foundation? And can it... forge a divine foundation not based on a single divinity, but on multiple divinities?"
As this idea emerged, ambition ignited like a wildfire, instantly sweeping through his mind!
But all of this...
Was merely Li Che's speculation.
As for the specifics of how to accomplish it, Li Che, who only had a vague understanding of divinity, couldn't fathom it.
After struggling to comprehend, Li Che decided to stop thinking about it.
After all, he hadn't formally encountered the divine technique yet. Later, when he had the opportunity to come into contact with the divine technique, he could slowly analyze it or try to adapt it to create a method to forge a pure divine foundation.
Of course, this would be difficult, but even if it was challenging... it would still be better than having no way to forge a divine foundation.
With this thought, Li Che's mood instantly lightened.
"Nourishing nature with a pure mind... this is what I should focus on right now."
Li Che stood up, his blood and energy flowing like a raging dragon's roar, melting the snowflakes and turning them into a mist of scorching steam.
His eyes shone with clarity, his thoughts swirling.
"Right... Dragon Elephant Vajra can devour divinity to enhance progress. Can the divinity I've gathered with my Pure Mind be used to supplement the Dragon Elephant Vajra?"
The idea of mutual assistance between Dao Fruits was good, but if he consumed the divinity nurtured by his Pure Mind to enhance the Dragon Elephant Vajra, it would undoubtedly slow down the progress of nurturing divinity, and it might not be worth the effort...
"So, it's possible to provide some assistance during a breakthrough, but on regular days, I can slowly refine it using the martial talent bestowed by the Dragon Elephant Vajra."
"If I can forge a divine foundation, then throughout the entire Thunderstrike City, whether in the inner or outer city, I'll be among the top-tier experts!"
Forging a divine foundation was extremely important...
Because Xu You had said something to him, and Li Che remembered it well.
The divine foundation is the beginning of longevity.
Stretching lazily, his bones cracking, Li Che felt great.
After leaving the courtyard, he strolled down the long street, planning to buy some aged yellow wine and cut some braised meat for a good drink later.
Old Chen and Xu You came to freeload meals and drink wine every day, so Li Che naturally prepared some side dishes for them.
...
...
High in the sky, the clouds and snow swayed.
Flying Thunder Outer City.
A simple carriage rattled through the wind and snow, entering the city.
"Old man, we've arrived at Thunderstrike City."
The driver stopped the carriage by the road, rubbed his hands, and shouted into the carriage.
The curtain was lifted, and two figures emerged.
An old man with a face full of wrinkles like the bark of a centuries-old tree, wearing a thick coat, and his long eyebrows drooping.
Beside the old man was a five or six-year-old child, mischievous and playful, with two Naozha braids tied up.
The old man took out several majestic bronze coins from his sleeve and handed them to the driver, who weighed them in his hand and glanced at the little boy beside the old man. He reminded him, "Old man, you must take good care of this child. In Thunderstrike City... it's easy to lose a child."
Hearing this, the old man smiled and bowed in response.
The driver didn't say more and drove the carriage away.
"Master, we came to Thunderstrike City earlier than planned. Will it break the rules?" the child asked, tilting his head up to look at the old man.
The old man stroked his beard and shook his head slightly. "Rules? With the decline of the Majestic Bronze, who talks about rules these days? Moreover... along the way, I've sensed that the divine energy in the mysterious temple outside Thunderstrike City is getting stronger, and demons are rampant. If we had come a year later... we might not even be able to enter the city."
The child was startled. "What? Is it that serious?"
"Although Thunderstrike City is a small city, it has many influential families and clans, and there are quite a few divine foundation cultivators... It's a bit exaggerated to say it would be overrun within a year, right?"
An elderly man glanced at the child, "Little Lu Chi, do you think I would deceive you?"
"This strange temple outside the city, when viewed with our sect's 'Sight of Divinity', should be the 'Ten-Domains Mysterious Temple'. In another year, it will advance to the 'Nine Stars'."
"With the strength of divine cultivators in Thunderstrike City, even a Ten-Domains level mysterious temple can be dealt with. But once it advances to the Nine Stars, those who have forged their divine foundation and those with innate pulse connectivity may be able to escape. However, those without a divine foundation won't stand a chance."
The child, Lu Chi, gasped, "In Thunderstrike City... with its scarce divine energy and small population, how can a mysterious temple advance to the Nine Stars?"
The old man stroked his beard, "Temple keepers only need sacrifices—of life, of the flesh, or of the divine..."
"If someone offers such sacrifices, the temple will naturally advance."
"We've come early to find a divine child and bring them back to the sect. We must not cause any more trouble."
The old man gently admonished the child.
"Teacher... are we just going to stand by and do nothing?" Lu Chi tilted his head, "At the very least, shouldn't we warn the powerful cultivators in the city?"
The old man lovingly rubbed Lu Chi's head, "This matter is not as simple as it seems..."
"Besides, I, your teacher, came down from the mountain on orders, but to avoid the eyes of the Great Vision Temple's spies, I left most of my divine energy on the mountain and sneaked down. Even if the Ten-Domains temple erupts, I can handle it. But if the temple god of the Nine Stars forms, this old bone of mine won't be enough to fight."
"If I get infected by the temple god's divinity... it could ruin my path of divinity."
"If Great Vision doesn't care, why should we?"
"Most likely, before the disaster strikes, we'll reveal our identities and guide the innocent people out of the city to safety."
The old man patted the child Lu Chi's head.
"Alright, be quiet, and let me use 'Sight of Divinity' to see... how many divine children are left in Thunderstrike City."
The old man held Lu Chi's hand.
He raised his hand and pinched a snowflake, drawing a line in front of his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils seemed to have golden wheels, circles upon circles.
He looked up at the sky and saw four enormous divine grinding wheels hanging high, shrouded in the heavens.
"Wrathful Cry Ghost Suppress, Fear Reversal Light, Suspended Thought Flowing Sword, Wrathful Compassionate Buddha... In this small Thunderstrike City, there are quite a few cultivators with divine foundations, and the types of foundations are varied."
The old man smiled faintly, examining carefully.
These were all ordinary divine foundations, but to have such a foundation was already impressive.
Many divine cultivators, despite cultivating vast divine energy, couldn't take that crucial step forward, or their minds were ravaged by the divine energy, driving them insane, or they fell due to the backlash of their own divinity.
"Cultivators with divine foundations are not weak. Don't think that being a step away from divinity is a small gap; sometimes, that gap is an insurmountable chasm!"
The old man's eyes continued to swirl with golden wheels.
He looked towards the inner city, nodding slightly, "The noble families have gathered quite a few divine children, but it seems their divinity is lacking."
Then, the golden wheels turned, and his gaze fell upon Xuji's Woodcarving Shop in the outer city, and his eyes revealed a peculiar color.
Through his 'Sight of Divinity', he saw flames soaring into the sky, burning fiercely, as if half the sky was dyed red.
"Such a domineering divine light... A divine child with such divinity, and the noble families haven't recruited them? How strange..."
The old man was astonished. He stroked his beard and calculated, "Oh, he's only two years old... No wonder."
"It seems... this trip will yield a great harvest."
The old man smiled, stroking his beard.
Just as he was about to disperse the golden wheels in his eyes and release the 'Sight of Divinity', he paused.
He stared at the young man on the street ahead, carrying roasted meat and a jar of wine, humming a tune.
And...
The youth emanated a pure, dazzling white divine light, a pristine glow!
