We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

However, for Shen Bailian now, as long as he can obtain divine substances in a long-term, continuous and effective manner, not to mention high mountains, even insurmountable natural barriers will become a smooth road.

The concentration of divine matter in Hulao Pass, although extremely low, is still much higher than that in the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Maintaining this large array, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles, would require an enormous amount of divine matter.

If Shen Bailian could completely absorb the divine substance within the array patterns, he could probably extract tens of thousands of points of divine substance.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that.

Even after absorbing only a small amount of divine matter, Shen Bailian felt uneasy, fearing that the operation of the great formation might malfunction.

However, he had no way to put the purified divine substance on the panel back to its original position.

"wrong!"

"Nine out of ten things are wrong!" Shen Bailian looked at the divine substance on the panel and tentatively came up with the idea of ​​extracting the divine substance.

In an instant.

"Buzz!"

A golden halo suddenly burst forth from Shen Bailian's fingertips, covering the entire dormitory with ripples of golden light.

"It really works!" Shen Bailian stared in disbelief at everything before him, his eyes gleaming slightly, and his face revealing undisguised joy.

With a slight thought, his Eye of God closed, and the golden light before him vanished, as if it had been nothing more than an illusion.

Apart from the silver gauze that covered the entire dormitory room, there was nothing else.

Not to mention the halo around the fingertips.

next moment.

Shen Bailian's mind stirred again, and the Eye of God skill was activated at full power. The golden light that had previously filled every corner of the dormitory reappeared before his eyes.

“I seem to have become somewhat lax in developing my panel/original talent during this period.” Shen Bailian looked at the golden light on his fingertips, his thoughts wandering.

At this moment, the divine matter on the panel also decreased from 1338 points to 1337 points.

As Shen Bailian could see, the divine substance purified and absorbed by the panel could be extracted again, and the process was extremely rapid, with almost no pauses.

And just as if violating the law of conservation of energy, there is no loss during the exchange process.

During this period, Shen Bailian felt as if he were in a dream. In less than a month, he had grown from a martial artist at the peak of the Transcendent Realm to a late-stage being in the Sea Opening Realm.

It's almost equivalent to crossing a major realm, equivalent to more than ten or even several decades of arduous training for an ordinary martial artist.

This rapid, leap-like increase in strength achieved through the use of the panel gave Shen Bailian an unreal feeling.

At the same time, it also made him subconsciously forget one thing: the panel was not a system, but a product of his own innate talent manifested according to his own will.

Therefore, in theory, he should have 100% control over the panel if he wanted to!

The current results have confirmed his conjecture.

"Now we need to consider whether or not to put this bit of divine substance back." Shen Bailian looked at his golden fingers and felt a stinging sensation, as if every cell in his body was resisting the golden light.

Clearly, pure divine matter is not a highly compatible energy source for human evolution.

"Let's put it back first. If my problem causes problems with the great formation of Hulao City, then the problem will be huge." Shen Bailian took one last look at the divine substance on his fingertip.

Then, with a slight thought, he precisely locked onto a thick array pattern, and without hesitation, he used the sense of touch among the five senses of the Eye of God to lift the divine substance from his fingertips and put it in.

It was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing a ripple.

"Whoo~"

Seeing this, Shen Bailian breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that no ripples were caused, which meant that the great formation inside Tiger Prison City was not affected by the increase or decrease of this divine substance.

After finishing~
"Now I can cultivate normally... no, I should taste the Yuan Crystals." Shen Bailian shifted his attention to his storage ring, looking at the mountain of Yuan Crystals, a slight smile appeared on his face.

There are two to three hundred third-tier elemental crystals, and several thousand first- or second-tier elemental crystals.

And they are all normal elemental crystals, not star elemental crystals.

Worth hundreds of millions.

These Yuan Crystals were all given to Shen Bailian by Duan Wuyai, although Duan Wuyai was very curious about what Shen Bailian wanted so many Yuan Crystals for.

Surprisingly, Duan Wuyai did not voice his doubts; instead, he chose to unconditionally trust his beloved disciple.

He also told Shen Bailian that if it would be inconvenient to exchange Yuan Crystals on a large scale in the future, she could directly ask him for help, or Dean Cheng Shangwu and others could also help.

The implication was that the Tiangang Academy was firmly on his side.

Shen Bailian naturally understood this and didn't explain further. All he had to do was step forward when needed.

The rest of the time, they quietly and patiently developed their abilities.

"Take a shower and then start cultivating!" Shen Bailian glanced at the bright moonlight outside the window, then turned and walked straight towards the bathroom.

Although he is not suited to use skill points to quickly improve his strength right now, it does not mean that he cannot cultivate.

It's totally two different things.

Between cultivation sessions, one can sample the concentrated essence of heaven and earth, and also adjust one's own state to be in a more perfect condition for the next qualitative leap in strength.

……

Deep within Hulao City.

At this moment, Nangong Wentian was dressed in a black robe with gold thread patterns, exuding a noble aura. His eyes were closed, and his hands were naturally placed on his thighs as he sat cross-legged, about one or two centimeters above the ground.

Around him, wisps of mist swirled and flowed slowly, emitting a faint golden glow.

This makes Nangong Wentian appear like an immortal who has transcended the mortal world.

If Shen Bailian were here, he could clearly see that within this dense, almost liquefied elemental energy of heaven and earth, there was actually a divine substance.

Nangong Wentian was actually using divine matter to cultivate.

However, upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

After all, no matter what, experts at the Divine Palace Realm are at the very top of the food chain in Great Xia, and even on Earth Origin Star. Nangong Wentian is one of the best among them, so it's not impossible for him to use divine matter to hone his own source power.

With the blessing of abundant divine matter, Nangong Wentian's cultivation speed is several times that of ordinary Divine Palace Realm experts. In addition, his ability to skillfully enter a deep cultivation state will once again lead to a leap in cultivation speed.

The effects of deep cultivation are far inferior to those of enlightenment.

However, it is much more efficient than normal cultivation.

Unlike enlightenment gained through luck, deep cultivation is a skill that can be learned. It can be mastered through long-term practice and with exceptional comprehension.

However, its requirements for mental strength are far higher than its requirements for physical fitness level.

If one's mental strength level is too low, one's resistance to abnormal states is weak, and it is easy to remain in a state of deep cultivation, and then sink into it and be unable to extricate oneself.

He had completely degenerated into a walking corpse. Suddenly.

Nangong Wentian's relaxed brows suddenly furrowed, and his eyes snapped open, two beams of light flashing like lightning, instantly piercing through the clouds and shooting straight into the distance, towards the location of a thick array pattern.

"What's going on? Why has my cultivation speed suddenly increased by one percent?"

As Nangong Wentian felt the surging source power within his body, his eyes flickered slightly, revealing an undisguised shock. With each breath he took, the surrounding clouds seemed to be drawn in some way, churning even more violently.

Ordinary people have no idea that there is a protective formation within Hulao City.

Even martial artists who knew about the city-protecting formation didn't know that the true core of this formation was none other than Nangong Wentian.

With the help of this grand formation, Nangong Wentian's perception and cultivation speed will also be amplified.

However, the price is that one cannot leave for an extended period of time, which is one of the reasons why Nangong Wentian stayed in Hulao City for a long time.

However, this is exactly in line with Nangong Wentian's personality. He is a strong person who is relatively introverted, otherwise he would not have voluntarily become the inheritor of the array eye.

"Ok?"

"Where did such pure divine matter come from?" Nangong Wentian murmured to himself. He quickly locked onto his target, his gaze piercing through layers of buildings and space. He stood up in shock, staring intently at a thick array pattern.

His breathing became heavy.

As the core of the entire formation, Nangong Wentian naturally had complete control over the Rising Sun Formation within Hulao City; every formation pattern was an extension of himself.

So the problem was quickly discovered.

Compared to other array patterns of the same type, the energy fluctuation of that array pattern was amplified by one-thousandth, spreading throughout the entire array and amplifying the overall energy of the array.

This directly increased the strength of the entire formation by one percent.

All of this stemmed from that single point of divine substance, submerged at the bottom of the array pattern, which was slowly broken down and refined to the extreme.

The divine substance contained within the patterns of the Rising Sun Array represents the most advanced technology in the Great Xia Dynasty for purifying divine substances. However, even so, compared to that single drop of divine substance, it is like a firefly compared to the brilliance of the sun.

It's completely difficult to compare them on a single dimension.

But what shocked Nangong Wentian the most was not this, but who could do such a thing so quietly without him noticing.

"No." The usually composed Nangong Wentian was not happy about the strengthening of the formation; instead, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The most dangerous thing is that it is out of control.

……

"Click~ Click~"

Having finished showering, Shen Bailian sat on the sofa. In front of her, the fruit plate contained not fruit, but Yuan Crystals.

He devoured them one by one, and even the Yuan Crystals, as hard as stubborn rocks, crumbled like paper under his steel teeth.

"Hmm...this is not bad, it's actually ice cream flavored." Shen Bailian looked at the remaining half of the Yuan Crystal in his hand, which was shimmering with a faint blue light, and showed an extremely satisfied expression.

Ice-attribute elemental crystals are considered rare, and their price is about 20-30% higher than that of elemental crystals of the five elements.

The fragments of Yuan Crystal, shattered into powder, were quickly digested by Shen Bailian. Under the influence of the Steel Body skill, they were transformed into a mysterious power that could enhance physical strength.

His physical fitness level is improving at a slow pace.

However, this slow rate of improvement is only relative to Shen Bailian's previous use of skill points to upgrade skills.

For an ordinary martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm, it would take at least half an hour to absorb a complete third-tier Yuan Crystal.

Shen Bailian only needed less than a minute, and his absorption efficiency was far higher than that of the former.

"No, that's not right." While Shen Bailian was enjoying his meal, his mind was racing with thoughts, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

He stared blankly at the colorful elemental energy around him, and suddenly realized a problem that he had ignored for a long time.

Divine substances are not only found within the bodies of ferocious beasts.

Similarly, the divine substance within a ferocious beast is not something it is born with, but rather something it absorbs and purifies by absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Although the concentration of divine substances in the primordial energy of heaven and earth is extremely low, for him at this moment, with his level five divine eye and all five senses in full swing, is it possible to extract that minuscule amount of divine substances from the primordial energy of heaven and earth?
Think of this.

Shen Bailian no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, concentrated all his mental energy, and drastically reduced and compressed the range of perception of his Eye of God.

But in a moment.

The original coverage area of ​​several hundred miles has been reduced to less than a thousand meters, and it continues to shrink at a slow but steady pace.

Before this, Shen Bailian had only pursued a wide range of perception and had never tried to narrow the range of perception of the Eye of God. Only now did he realize that compressing the range of perception was not much more difficult than expanding it.

However, it brings new perspectives and new feelings.

This narrowing of the perception range did indeed allow Shen Bailian to discover something different from the ordinary, as if he had entered a microscopic world. The bacterial particles floating in the air were clearly visible and varied life forms in his eyes.

Furthermore, with the special vision of the Eye of God, he also discovered that the elemental energy of heaven and earth, which is invisible under a microscope, is actually in the form of particles like atoms.

"Indeed, all things in this world lead to the same destination, no matter how different they are." Shen Bailian looked at everything before him and uttered a strange sigh.

This new perspective gave him a unique feeling, a feeling he had never experienced before.

This also proves once again that gods are not invincible. Just like all things in the world, they have their peak period, and they will also decline again as time goes by.

Unfortunately, Shen Bailian has yet to discover the existence of that minuscule divine substance within the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

However, it is not yet dawn, and for him it is still too early; he has plenty of time to wait.

For a powerful martial artist at the Sea Opening Realm, sleep has become dispensable. Some Sea Opening Realm martial artists, in order to improve their strength in all aspects, have even become accustomed to using ordinary advanced visualization techniques to replace sleep.

In this way, one can improve their physical fitness level during the day and cultivate their mental strength level at night through visualization techniques.

Neither can be neglected.

As time passed, Shen Bailian's perception range was compressed to a radius of less than one hundred meters.

However, as his perception range was drastically compressed, the difficulty of continuing to compress it further increased dramatically.

"Can't you sense it?" Shen Bailian sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed, fine beads of sweat appearing on them.

More than half an hour has passed, but he still hasn't found the divine substance in the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

His originally abundant spiritual energy had been depleted by one-third, and it was decreasing at an extremely rapid rate as time went by.

Sudden.

Just as the range of the Eye of God's perception shrank to only a dozen meters, and Shen Bailian's mental strength was about to reach the warning line, just as he was about to give up, an unusual golden light bloomed before his eyes.

At the same time, a notification message appeared on his panel—

[Divine matter detected, purifying it, current progress 1%...] (End of Chapter)
