Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 52 Innate Divine Soul! The First Birth of Divine Consciousness!
Chen Qian felt neither sorrow nor joy, and his consciousness began to communicate with the Gray Pearl World.

A few breaths later, a wisp of purple-yellow aura slowly condensed in the void above the rules platform.

This is a magical energy of extremely high status that can only be formed during the creation of a world.

Just a wisp of it, yet it felt as heavy as a towering mountain, as lofty as the bright moon in the heavens, captivating the mind and inspiring submission!
As the ruler of the world, Chen Qian was naturally immune to most of the influence.

But I still couldn't help but feel a tremor in my heart.

Letting out a long breath, Chen Qian stared intently at this wondrous and supreme energy, slowly guiding it into his soul within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The time required for the soul transformation was beyond Chen Qian's expectations.

It was surprisingly swift, as if this wisp of primordial energy was naturally perfectly aligned with Chen Qian's soul.

When this wisp of primordial energy merged into the soul, the entire sea of ​​consciousness suddenly boiled over.

As the breath flows, it peels away the impurities from the soul layer by layer.

The turbid substance, like snow meeting the blazing sun, transforms into wisps of blue smoke and dissipates, replaced by an eternally clear purity, from which all evils cannot invade and all laws cannot corrupt.

The initially slightly blurry outline of the soul gradually became clearer, eventually condensing into a translucent, jade-like light and shadow, with a faint, mysterious yellow mark between the eyebrows.

Innate Divine Soul, Complete!

Having completed his spiritual transformation, Chen Qian rose from the platform of rules and stood suspended in mid-air.

Its bright eyes surveyed this newly born world.

His cultivation level was still at the third level of Qi Refining, but after his soul transformed and reached the Innate level, he broke through the shackles and his divine consciousness naturally emerged.

Sensing this change in his soul, Chen Qian closed his eyes and stretched his divine sense as far as possible, spreading it outwards.

His divine sense instantly enveloped a distance of one zhang around him. After a slight pause, it seemed to break through some barrier and extended outwards again until it reached a distance of about ten zhang from his body before exhausting itself.

This change, combined with the instantaneous feedback from the Gray Pearl World, made Chen Qian realize that his initial divine sense was already a full ten feet strong, and that within the Gray Pearl World, his divine sense was amplified tenfold, thus reaching a distance of ten feet.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, knowing that a spiritual intensity of one zhang was a level that only ordinary Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators could achieve.

When one's cultivation reaches the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one's initial divine sense is generally only three inches long. Even at the peak of the mid-stage, the divine sense of most cultivators only grows to nine inches.

Seventh Uncle Chen Hongyuan was the peak mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator that Chen Qian was most familiar with.

He is upright and resilient, with a strong will. He failed to break through to the later stage last year, but his spiritual awareness has increased significantly.

According to him, his spiritual sense only reached a strength of slightly over a foot.

Ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators have a spiritual sense strength between three feet and ten feet. Those who can break through to more than ten feet are mostly veteran peak Qi Refining cultivators who have cultivated for a long time and have a profound foundation.

This is the case for a relatively average, ordinary cultivator.

In the cultivation world, cultivation techniques that can directly enhance one's spiritual sense, as well as rare and precious natural treasures, are extremely scarce. Most of them are beyond the reach of Qi Refining cultivators, so the differences in spiritual sense among Qi Refining cultivators are relatively small.

There are some exceptions, such as improving a certain cultivation technique to a relatively high level, which can also help increase one's spiritual consciousness.

However, such talents are extremely rare in the cultivation world. Moreover, even so, it is already quite amazing that one's divine sense can increase by several tens of percent on the original basis.

If a newly born divine sense can reach one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), what does that mean compared to an ordinary Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator?
That's a terrifying difference of 33 times!
Moreover, Chen Qian has not yet officially advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining. Once he reaches that level, his spiritual sense will likely experience another surge.

Having a divine soul and innate consciousness, the person is essentially reborn.

In Chen Qian's eyes, the whole world had changed. What the eyes saw and what the divine sense detected were completely different experiences.

What the eyes see is a painting, but what the divine sense perceives is a three-dimensional space.

Divine sense can penetrate space and inanimate objects directly.

However, items containing spiritual energy and living beings cannot be directly penetrated by divine sense.

In short, spiritual awareness is not the same as X-ray vision.

Of course, if one's divine sense is powerful, it can also forcefully break through the surface of spiritual objects and living beings. In this case, it is a refining process for spiritual objects and an attack process for living beings.

When divine sense penetrates ordinary objects that do not contain spiritual energy, such as soil, rocks, and water, it will also be greatly weakened.

This is why cultivators' cave dwellings are built using spiritual materials or have arrays inscribed on the buildings, mainly to resist the divine sense probing of external cultivators.

Chen Qian tried it out, and his divine sense was reduced by about 80% when it penetrated the soil layer of the Gray Pearl World; while it was reduced by only 50% when it penetrated the water body of the lake.

This situation surprised him slightly. According to the book "How to Better Improve the Divine Sense of the Qi Refining Stage" that he borrowed from the Scripture Pavilion, the difference in the quality of a cultivator's divine sense is generally small. It will decrease by more than 90% when penetrating soil and stone, and by about 70% when penetrating water.

Judging from this, the quality of his spiritual sense is also much higher than that of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Of course, once he advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, the quality of his divine sense will be greatly enhanced, far surpassing his current nascent divine sense.

Chen Qian wandered around the Gray Pearl World, freely using his divine sense to explore the surroundings. Before he could have had his fill, he felt a sense of weakness in his divine sense.

He suddenly realized that he had overused his divine sense.

Even high-level cultivators cannot freely use their divine sense for extended periods, let alone a novice like him who is only at the Qi Refining stage.

Having tried the basics, Chen Qian decided to stop there, not wanting his newly formed consciousness to be damaged without his knowledge.

It was still dark, and Chen Qian didn't want to go back to the room and wake Feng Momo, so he simply continued to meditate and cultivate his magical power in the quiet room.

Over the next three days, Chen Qian spent most of his time, apart from cultivating his magical power, learning the basics of formations and trying to draw lightness talismans and wind shield talismans.

He didn't know much about formations. It wasn't that he didn't want to learn, but he had too little time to cultivate and was too busy to attend to them.

If you want to visit Chen Yunyi and ask her about talisman making and formations, you need to have some basic knowledge. Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing if you didn't know anything.

He wasn't too worried about making talismans.

Although he doesn't have much experience drawing talismans yet, he has a solid foundation in basic knowledge.

The Lightness Charm and Wind Shield Charm were much more difficult to draw than the Fireball Charm, but after many attempts, they were successfully drawn.

He had one hundred first-grade mid-level talisman papers on hand, and he drew fifty of each of the two types of talismans. He successfully drew seven Lightness Talismans and three Wind Shield Talismans.

With the support of his innate divine soul and newly formed divine consciousness, his learning efficiency was very high.

It's quite an achievement to succeed on your first try, after only a few dozen practice attempts.

On the morning of the fourth day, Chen Qian sat cross-legged in the quiet room, opened the "Basic Array Diagram" in front of him, and closed it.

Today he plans to visit Chen Yunyi at the family mansion to ask her about the confusion he has accumulated in his recent studies of formations and talisman making.

These two skills are a perfect match. If one can master both to a high level, and use talismans to set up arrays, forming talisman arrays, it can be considered a first-class offensive technique.
