Success!
I really made it!
Seeing those words "Upgradeable" on the panel, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
The panel only told to kill a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, never specified how—as long as it’s soone I killed myself, then I can upgrade this ditation Room.
But according to the panel, once the ditation Room is upgraded, I’ll be able to have Divine Sense even while still in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
I have no idea if there’ll be changes or other side effects after the upgrade.
Thinking this far, I decided to wait until I’m back on Mist Island before I upgrade. After waiting so long already, what’s a little while longer?
As for killing Yang Shunan—whether that will be exposed...
Exposure is inevitable. I didn’t wipe out the whole Yang family; news is bound to get out.
But so what?
I didn’t use my real appearance. The only one who saw my true face—Yang Shunan—is already nothing but bones.
Besides, Yang Dianfeng knows my "real na."
So, the killer is Qiu Qianhai. What does that have to do with , Ji Yuan?
I’m just a lowly Qi Cultivator. How could I possibly kill a Foundation Establishnt cultivator? That’s impossible.
Two days later.
On Mist Island, I released the Big Toad from the Spirit Beast Bag. After keeping the toad cooped up in that tiny, cramped place for so long, naturally he was pissed off.
So I fed him three Spirit Pigs before he finally shut up and stopped complaining.
Six Spirit Pigs for the life of one Foundation Establishnt rookie—that’s way too expensive, geez.
Back ho, I was in such a good mood that even Tu Yue, passing in front of , got her cheeks pinched by .
Hmm... cool to the touch, and still nice and soft.
Too bad, though—Tu Yue had absolutely no reaction, just like a corpse... Oh wait, she is a corpse, just letting ss with her as I please.
"Never mind, you’d better go feed the pigs."
I glanced at the wild grass Tu Yue was holding—nothing but pig feed.
Tu Yue walked off with a blank expression.
I returned to my own Cave Mansion; all the stone rooms I’d opened before had been used up, and now with another ditation Room, I naturally had to keep excavating.
The previous high-grade Flying Sword had now changed into my current supre-grade Purple Lightning Flying Sword.
The speed of carving out new chambers was noticeably faster—less than half an hour and a brand new stone room was ready.
Just thinking that I’ll soon have Divine Sense got kind of excited, so I went to the Enlightennt Room to sit for a while, drank so tea to calm myself down, and then decided to just stay here and...
ditation Room, upgrade!
As my Heart Thought moved, I had no idea whether the ditation Room itself had changed in any way.
Probably not—this is only a Level 1 building, probably no visible changes.
The only change I could sense was in my Divine Soul.
At first, nothing seed different, but as soon as the ditation Room upgraded, I suddenly noticed my head felt lighter.
Or maybe "floating" is the word—my whole body felt like it was drifting higher and higher, as if I was on top of the clouds.
Is... this the feeling of Divine Soul enhancent?
I always thought strengthening the soul would be as painful as upgrading the body... I’d even prepped myself for a splitting headache.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be so comfortable.
Too comfortable, in fact—I leaned right back and sprawled out on the Enlightennt Room floor.
The lightness in my head wouldn’t quit, making feel like I was experiencing so kind of leap in life itself.
Gradually, I sensed sothing strange.
Because even though I was lying on the ground, staring up at the stone ceiling, I could also "see" the rest of the room.
On the ground by my left ear, there was a small dent—that must be where I hadn’t cut level when I was splitting the floor before.
The cushion I’d just been sitting on—flattened by —was now slowly returning to its original shape.
I could even "see" the little tufts of fur poking out of the cushion.
Crystal clear.
And as my mind kept getting lighter, I realized my field of vision was steadily expanding.
Until it encompassed the entire Enlightennt Room.
I tried poking my Divine Sense into the stone wall. I an... it worked a bit, but after burrowing in about ten feet, my head started to sting.
Guess that’s my current limit.
I quickly withdrew my Divine Sense, and only then did the stabbing pain fade.
"Phew—"
With this, I don’t need to worry about soone sneaking up behind ever again. Of course, I can’t keep Divine Sense active forever.
Basing it on my current endurance, I could keep it going for perhaps half a stick of incense at most.
After lying on the ground for a bit, I moved to the ditation Room—just as I’d expected.
ditation Room was exactly the sa. Just being inside made all my previous fatigue vanish.
ditation—what exactly am I supposed to ditate on?
Sitting in that stone chamber, I tried ditating as a rock, as a tree growing on a cliff, or as an eagle—all useless.
Then I tried ditating on Erlang Shen, The Sea Conference God of Three Altars, and the Celestial Venerable of Thunder—still no reaction.
Clearly, ditation itself must require so special technique.
Or you need paintings left by powerful cultivators carrying Dao Rhy, or certain legacy items, or whatever.
In other words, it’s not just about daydreaming here.
