"My divine sense used to cover around seven miles, but after being tempered by the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array, it shot up eightfold—all the way to fifty-six miles!"
Chang’sheng felt the imnse range of his divine sense blanketing the area, a satisfied gleam in his eyes.
Just now, when his divine sense swept out, everything within fifty or sixty miles was under his perception!
He was pumped with anticipation.
If he went outside, free from the suppression of the Spirit-Seizing Land, how wide would his divine sense stretch?
When that ti cos, how far will his divine sense reach?
"I wonder how my divine sense compares to the Golden Core Stage now?"
Chang’sheng’s eyes took on a pensive look, but for now, there wasn’t a Golden Core Stage cultivator around to play lab rat.
He had no clue how many miles a Golden Core Stage cultivator could cover with their divine sense in here.
"Better finish perfecting the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array first!"
Chang’sheng’s eyes glead as he made up his mind.
He gathered firewood, piled it up, and tossed in a stone carved with the character ’Divine’.
The instant Chang’sheng threw in that rock, his panel started popping up with red notifications nonstop.
"Nice! Burn a ’Divine’ stone, and I gain one point of experience per breath. Maybe I should carve a bunch more ’Divine’ characters and see what happens?"
Chang’sheng stared at his panel, eyes thoughtful.
He made his way to the stone wall, reached out, and scooped out a chunk—though the stone was hard, under his hand it ca away as easily as tofu. Chang’sheng grabbed a rock and etched ’Divine’ on it.
Stone dust flew everywhere, and he was carving at lightning speed.
When he finished, Chang’sheng tossed the stone into the fire and glanced at his panel again, noticing his experience rate doubled.
"It actually works! My experience point growth is way faster!"
Seeing the experience bar on his panel shoot up twice as fast, Chang’sheng was pretty pleased. He imdiately carved a few more stones, etching the ’Divine’ character super tiny, and making the stones about the size of a pigeon’s egg.
This way, he could stuff a whole pile of ’Divine’ stones into the bonfire at once.
Chang’sheng carved more than a hundred tiny stones, then pulled out a bunch of wood from his storage bag and piled it on. In an instant, the flas roared, and his experience skyrocketed.
Chang’sheng kept carving those little ’Divine’ stones.
Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array experience 1!
Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array experience 1!
........
"Dang, this experience-speed boost feels insane! Hell yeah!"
Chang’sheng was carving ’Divine’ stones with one hand, and watching his panel madly ping out experience notifications like an engine, grinning from ear to ear.
At this rate, another hour or less, and his Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array would be perfected!
[Detected: Perfect Unmoving Golden Buddha Technique, Perfect Vajra Indestructible Body, Perfect Vajra Bright King Body. You may consu 500 spirit stones to fuse them into a new Body Refining Technique! Fuse now?]
Just then, Chang’sheng’s panel flashed a red prompt.
"Fuse!"
Seeing that Yu Lingfei and the others weren’t back yet, Chang’sheng waved his hand, pulled out 500 spirit stones, and quickly pressed confirm.
[Fusion in progress: Perfect Unmoving Golden Buddha Technique, Perfect Vajra Indestructible Body, Perfect Vajra Bright King Body... Fusion successful... Acquired: Saint Buddha Golden Body!]
The mont he hit confirm, the 500 spirit stones vanished, and another notification popped up on his panel.
At the sa ti, a surge of information flooded Chang’sheng’s mind—it was the cultivation thod for the Saint Buddha Golden Body.
"Saint Buddha Golden Body!"
"If I perfect this one, will my physical strength rival a Golden Core Stage cultivator?" Chang’sheng eyed his newly fused cultivation technique, filled with hope.
[Detected: Saint Buddha Golden Body (Entry Level), you may consu 1000 spirit stones to simplify it! Simplify now?]
Just then, Chang’sheng’s panel flashed a red prompt.
"Simplify!"
With a sweep of his hand, Chang’sheng pulled out another 1000 spirit stones and hit confirm on the panel.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Saint Buddha Golden Body... Simplification successful... Saint Buddha Golden Body = Punch Monk]
Chang’sheng’s panel flashed another red notification.
[Saint Buddha Golden Body (Entry Level 0/1000)]
"So now it’s simplified to...Punch Monk?"
"What the—?"
Seeing the simplified version, Chang’sheng’s eyes bugged out.
No monks around here—who am I supposed to punch?
"Wait a sec, I could just make myself a monk!"
Suddenly Chang’sheng had a eureka mont.
Monks are bald with robes, right? I just need to find so dude, shave his head, stick on so burn scars, and then punch him. Problem solved!
But, uh, where was he gonna find a guy?
Zhuo Yijian and the other five disciples?
Chang’sheng just couldn’t bring himself to do it to them.
"Forget it, I’ll finish perfecting the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array first. Maybe when I leave Spirit-Seizing Land I can find a male cultivator willing to cosplay as a monk."
Chang’sheng thought to himself.
Actually—
There was another way: Shave off his own hair, burn himself nine monk scars, and punch himself. That might work too.
But, nah, Chang’sheng really didn’t want to do that. If he did, wouldn’t he be a monk for real?
That’s way too savage—even for him.
He decided to deal with it after getting back to the tribe.
Right at that mont—
Zhuo Yijian, Yu Lingfei, and the other eight people returned one by one. When they saw Chang’sheng making a big bonfire, each of them looked pretty curious.
"Daoist Long, any breakthroughs...with the array?"
Yu Lingfei glanced at Chang’sheng, hope twinkling in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing Daoist Long burning a whole heap of fire on the platform didn’t really look like array enlightennt, so her anxiety shot through the roof.
"Almost done, don’t worry."
Chang’sheng nodded and replied.
With his current divine sense, getting through the Earth Fire Heaven-Burning Array should be doable. But he still had to perfect the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array!
This array could refine divine sense—no way he was gonna pass up on that!
[Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array: Perfection achieved]
As Chang’sheng burned those ’Divine’ stones, another red notification popped up on his panel.
At the sa ti—
A flood of new info poured into Chang’sheng’s mind, rging seamlessly with his own consciousness!
The info was all about achieving perfection in the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array—including key insights and techniques for array formation!
"So the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array’s Divine-Burning Earth Fire has been used up... Wait, what?"
As Chang’sheng checked the array’s functions, his gaze sharpened.
According to the array’s description—
It takes a hundred years for this array to build up Divine-Burning Earth Fire. aning, after using it here, he’d have to wait a century before the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array would be usable for refining divine sense again!
Unless...he could find another suitable earth vein and set up the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array from scratch!
"This Earth Vein Array...needs Earth Vein Fire? Plus forty-nine array foundations and one array plate... Damn, those requirents are harsh!"
Chang’sheng kept reading about how to set up the array, frowning deeply—it needed a powerful source of Earth Vein Fire, and the array had to be placed accordingly.
Plus, he’d have to refine forty-nine array foundations and one array plate before the array could be ford.
The stuff needed to make those foundations and plates were all Nascent Soul level items!
With his current strength, collecting Nascent Soul grade gear was basically mission impossible!
"Wait, why bother gathering all that stuff? Isn’t there a ready-made array here? Why don’t I just dig up those array foundations and the array plate, go find a Fire Vein, and call it a day?"
Suddenly, Chang’sheng’s eyes sparkled as he realized.
With that thought—
He got to work right away.
Chang’sheng now possessed complete insight into the Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array—formation was tricky, but demolition? Easy as pie!
He decided to start by ripping up the forty-nine array foundations placed around the island!
With a flicker, Chang’sheng appeared at the foot of the mountain, on a rocky slope. He stepped forward, and the scenery shifted, revealing a stone wall up ahead.
Chang’sheng smashed a fist into the wall, and instantly a red light burst through, rocketing into the air, spinning wildly!
It was a blazing fire-red jade stone, three zhang in length!
Chang’sheng made a grabbing motion and stored it in his storage bag!
Next, he headed straight for foundation number two!
.......
As Chang’sheng was gathering the array foundations here—
Deep underground, tens of thousands of zhang down, lay a vast, ancient great hall that exuded a heavy, oppressive aura.
The hall was supported by 108 massive pillars.
The pillars were carved with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars!
On each of the four walls, there were a dozen lamp plates about half a zhang across. Every plate held a huge fluorescent stone, casting a gentle white light that made this Earth Hall as bright as day!
A huge jade-clear coffin, three zhang long, lay in the center of the hall atop the Cold Ice White Jade Platform.
Inside was a middle-aged man with refined features.
"Three hundred years gone, and here cos another damned little bug! Not only did you drain one of my divine arrays, now you’re digging the whole thing up!!"
"If this weren’t the crucial mont of my recovery, you wouldn’t have gotten away with it!"
At this mont, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes. His voice was cold and nacing, anger flashing in his gaze.
"Ten years—just ten more years! Then I’ll break out from the Immortal Relic Land and return to the Burial Immortal Realm!"
"You little worm—carrying off my stuff? When the ti cos, you won’t escape!"
The man’s chilling voice drifted out as he closed his eyes once again.
