The effect of being a "Celestial Being" was already exaggerated, and with Lin Li’s improved comprehension, it felt as though he had reached a significant threshold, now finding his efficiency to be more than ten tis that of ordinary days.
The Spiritual Qi within his body rapidly compressed, condensed, and liquefied into a purer, more refined Spiritual Liquid, whose volu and potency far exceeded anything from before.
At the sa ti, he experienced a slight piercing pain within his mind, which was not unbearable, as it was imdiately followed by an indescribable clarity and comfort.
According to Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen, the amount of Spiritual Qi within his body had long reached the standard for Foundation Establishnt. At this mont, Lin Li could clearly feel that the final threshold between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishnt was as thin as a cicada’s wing.
Thus, Lin Li decisively shattered the "Certificate of Celestial Being," continued in the "Celestial Being" state, wanting to see if he could succeed in Foundation Establishnt in one fell swoop tonight.
Taking advantage of this continuation of the "Celestial Being" state, he charged forward without hesitation.
Ti lost its aning under extre concentration, with one hour passing in the blink of an eye.
When the "Celestial Being" state lasted only for a few minutes more, although Lin Li’s eyelids twitched slightly, he did not open his eyes—
"Buzz——!"
[Cultivation breakthrough, initial Divine Sense ford. From today onwards, the world will be entirely different, but do not beco arrogant. Instead, strive diligently and temper yourself!]
[Task triggered!]
[Task Three: Temper the soul and body.]
[Reward: Physical Improvent: 50% increase in physical strength, 50% increase in Divine Sense and Spiritual Power; Concentration Powder *1; Red Refining Pill *1]
[Concentration Powder: After consumption, it can gently but slowly repair soul damage, and temporarily increase the condensity of the Divine Sense, making perception clearer.]
[Red Refining Pill: After taking, it can refine the blood, enhance the vitality and regeneration ability of Qi Blood, and has a certain effect on clearing hidden injuries accumulated from body refinent or injuries.]
The system’s ssage popped up, but Lin Li’s attention was completely elsewhere at the mont.
He slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head to examine himself, and couldn’t help but smile.
A sense of unprecedented clarity and vitality perated his body, as a thin layer of grayish sludge with a faint odor covered his skin—this was evidence of Foundation Establishnt purging impurities and waste from the body.
It seems like it’s ti for another bath.
Looking around the bedroom, Lin Li gently leapt, his body as light as paper, easily reaching up with his palm to touch the ceiling.
He looked up, lightly leapt again, his body floating like a feather, effortlessly touching the ceiling with his palm, and landed without a sound, even under control.
From his sword cultivation gourd, he took out a heavy tal wrench. With a slight exertion of his five fingers, the wrench bent as easily as a disposable chopstick, folding in his grasp effortlessly.
Lin Li clicked his tongue slightly.
And this wasn’t even his full strength. His physical qualities were pushing him farther from the realm of humans, and closer to that of gods, approaching a god-like state.
He then rembered sothing, tossed the wrench into the trash can, ran to the window in his room, and looked up at the sky.
The layers of clouds in the night sky indicated uncertain weather for tomorrow, likely rain.
But one thing was sure: the sky was calm, lacking brilliant clouds or spirals of Spiritual Qi, and no legendary minor heavenly tribulation of Foundation Establishnt.
Lin Li pouted.
In the "Cultivation Guide" left by Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen, it’s stated that a successful Foundation Establishnt in the Cultivation Realm is sure to cause anomalies in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Those with exceptional talent may even trigger a minor heavenly tribulation at this stage.
In contrast, Lin Li experienced none of this.
At least he should be the first person in this world to reach Foundation Establishnt, yet there was no grandeur to it.
No Heavenly Dao, how boring.
After throwing the wrench into the trash can, Lin Li returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, focusing on the most significant change brought by Foundation Establishnt: Divine Sense.
Lin Li first attempted to introspect his body.
With a thought, though his eyes remained closed, Lin Li felt like he could see a scene before him.
His entry into the soul realm revealed a vast white void, with only a concentrated, stable, softly glowing energy source in the center.
But when Lin Li felt this was inappropriate, the energy began extending fine strands of light, transforming the Divine Sense world into an archetypal ocean of Divine Sense, calm and boundless, as blue Spiritual Power manifested as waves before Lin Li.
The next second, it transford into a likeness of his bedroom.
The soul realm is naturally subject to its owner’s construction; as far as imagery is concerned, it can be anything one desires.
The ultimate visualization tool.
As for the constantly present energy source, it was Lin Li’s "Source of the Soul," small and adorable, in need of good care, but with Lin Li owning the "Wall of the Soul," it seed quite safe unless deliberately endangered.
Lin Li didn’t linger long, with many more functions to explore.
Exiting the Divine Sense world, Lin Li entered his Dantian world.
The Dantian world was an elliptical space, its walls emitting a slight glow, resilient and impervious to Lin Li’s will.
At the bottom of the Dantian space, a small pool of liquid shimred like rcury, gently flowing and rotating, while overhead, streams of Spiritual Qi spiraled like nebulae, gradually liquefying and accumulating at the bottom.
This appeared to be the true essence Spiritual Liquid ford post-Foundation Establishnt—essentially his energy pool, to be consud when casting techniques, depletion resulting in exhaustion.
Visible upon the Dantian’s walls were the ridians gathering and connecting to this point, transporting the power of liquid essence throughout the body.
The only aspect of the Dantian world Lin Li could control was the essence, offering little amusent, so he quickly withdrew.
Having completed internal exploration, he naturally moved on to externalizing the Divine Sense.
Lin Li closed his eyes, allowing his thoughts to sweep outward like ripples, soon constructing a ’3D model’ of the bedroom in his mind.
Not just surfaces, but walls, furniture, appliances... even clothes folded inside closets, screws in the corners beneath the bed—details invisible to the naked eye—presented themselves clearly in his mind.
The clarity of these details diminished with distance and prolonged focus.
His current range of Divine Sense perception remained quite limited.
He knew that among the Physical Improvent obtained, there was a buff for [Divine Sense Perception Range Improvent 100%].
Yet, even with this buff, his perceptive range barely extended beyond ten ters.
Technically, five to six ters, as beyond that distance, details blurred, akin to seeing through frosted glass, unreliable for accuracy.
Yet it was understandable.
Ultimately, he had just reached Foundation Establishnt, having never tempered his soul before; even at half, his results exceeded "Guideline" norms significantly.
Lin Li casually materialized the "Five Elents Technique," closing his eyes, covering it with Divine Sense.
The next mont, words leapt into his mind, with static illustrations coming alive and evolving dynamically, runes shimring brightly, clearly demonstrating the application of Five Elents power in his mind.
Lin Li opened his eyes.
At last, he had the appearance of a cultivator studying Cultivation Techniques, sure to double his efficiency from now on.
Lin Li imdiately picked up a regular book to experint.
But he soon found this effect absent, dampening his joy slightly.
—It seed there were limits to books that could be read with Divine Sense.
Most of the information stored in Lin Li’s gourd was written with standard pen and paper, unavailable for this thod.
However, Lin Li noticed that at close proximity, Divine Sense could decipher not only appearance and shape, but also text and diagrams, creating a conceptual grasp in the mind.
Thus, from a certain perspective, Lin Li could now, completely in the dark, read books with his fingers like a blind person.
Suddenly, Lin Li frowned.
He thought of a question.
What would it be like for a blind person to read horror novels?
What if the scariest scenes in the braille were covered in super glue, causing the blind reader to be unable to retract their fingers? Would that enhance the scare effect?
