章節 49: Consciousness Cleansing

As Liang delved into the Void Form Refining Art, his heart was pounding with anticipation.

Although this technique didn't directly focus on strengthening the divine sense, it had the potential to improve it indirectly. As it was specially designed to refine the soul form into a more advanced state known as the void form. The void form would enhance the adaptability of the cultivator's soul and consciousness with the void. Additionally, throughout the refining process, the divine sense would undergo a significant change, transforming into more advanced state called the void sense.

The Void Form Refining Art consisted of ten stages, each stage representing a significant advancement in the cultivation of the technique.

The first stage of the Void Form Refining Art was called "Consciousness Cleansing." In this stage, Liang Yifei had to purify his consciousness by eliminating any impurities and negative emotions. By doing so, his consciousness would become more refined and receptive to further cultivation.

Once his consciousness is fully cleansed, The cultivator can then move on to the second stage, "Ethereal Integration." In this stage, the cultivator fuses their consciousness with the ethereal energies of the surrounding environment. This integration allows him to absorb and utilize these energies, enhancing his spiritual perception.

The third stage, "Void Sense," was where the significant change in the divine sense occurs. In this stage, the divine sense transforms into the void sense, allowing the cultivator to perceive the nuances of the void and navigate through space more skillfully.

The initial three stages are referred to as the mortal stages, although they are referred to as such, only those who have reached the Dao Integration realm or close to it have a chance of achieving them.

As for the Fourth stage, it is inaccessible unless the Cultivator has attained the Void Transformation realm.

Subsequent stages necessitate even higher levels of cultivation.

Liang took a deep breath, knowing that the cultivation process for the first stage, Consciousness Cleansing, would not be easy. He started to focus on his breath, entering a state of deep meditation.

As he delved deeper into his consciousness, memories and emotions that he had long buried started resurfacing. Negative emotions, such as anger, fear, and sorrow, clouded his mind.

These impurities were like anchors, weighing him down and hindering his spiritual progress. With each breath, he visualized himself exhaling the impurities, releasing them from his being.

However, the process was not as simple as it seemed. As Liang purged the impurities, waves of pain and fatigue washed over him. It felt as though he was tearing apart his very essence, ripping away the layers of negativity that had built up over time.

His unyielding determination, however, pushed him forward. With each wave of pain, he gritted his teeth and summoned the strength to carry on.

Yet, amidst the pain and emotional turmoil, there was a glimmer of hope. Liang knew that this process was necessary for his spiritual growth, for the journey towards Immortality and enlightenment. He held onto that hope, using it as a guiding light in the darkness of his purging.

As the saying goes, "No pain, no gain." The excruciating pain became a symbol of progress, a testament to his commitment and resilience. With every release, he could feel his soul becoming lighter, and his mind unburdening itself from the weight of negativity.

In the secret realm, nestled near the enigmatic arcane city, Ji Fang's eyes suddenly narrowed. His gaze shifted beyond the realm's boundaries, surprise illuminating his eyes as he murmured in a low voice, "To think that day would finally arrive."

Perplexity crossed Han Zhi's eyes as he observed Ji Fang's peculiar behavior, politely inquiring, "Is there anything amiss, Your Majesty?"

Ji Fang chuckled in response, dismissing any concerns, "You needn't worry about that. First, tell me, have you accomplished the tasks I assigned to you?"

Han Zhi nodded seriously, "As per your instructions, I have successfully established the defensive formation you entrusted me with, encircling the city."

Ji Fang smiled and asked, "Do you still have the blood essence I gave you?"

Han Zhi nodded and took out the vile, Ji Fang chuckled in response, saying, "You will need them now." With a flick of his fingers, a golden ray shot towards Han Zhi, transforming into a jade stone and another spirit vial like the one in his hand. "Follow the location indicated on the jade stone. Once you arrive at the battle, consume all the blood essence you have and assist the monk."

Confusion flashed through Han Zhi's mind, and Ji Fang seemed to notice. "Once you reach there, everything will become clear. Go now," Ji Fang urged.

Han Zhi nodded respectfully before leaving.

As Han Zhi followed the instructions on the jade stone, After some time, he arrived at a vantage point overlooking the battlefield. From this distance, he could clearly see Chang Jin, with his majestic golden wings, circling above Evil Warding with a heightened aura of power. The clash of their energies sent shockwaves through the air, causing the ground beneath them to tremble.

Han Zhi stood there, observing the battle with intense focus. His eyes were filled with a mix of anticipation and concern as he watched the two formidable opponents exchange powerful blows. The air crackled with energy, and the clash of their attacks echoed across the desolate land.

Chang Jin's golden fists glowed with celestial energy as he directed his strikes towards Evil Warding, aiming to overpower him with his sheer size and strength. Meanwhile, Evil Warding moved with incredible agility, evading and countering Chang Jin's attacks with precise strikes of his own.

The energy in the air became palpable, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and tension.

Han Zhi clenched the vials of blood essence tightly in his hand, ready to fulfill Ji Fang's instructions when the time was right. Although he couldn't discern their cultivations but he trusted Ji Fang's arrangement.

The battle raged on, with Chang Jin's divine spears piercing through the air and Evil Warding's lotus-coloured energy swirling in retaliation. Their clash became a dance of power and grace, captivating everyone who witnessed it.

As Han Zhi continued to watch from a distance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for Chang Jin's celestial form and Evil Warding's monkish prowess. It was a battle, unlike anything he had ever witnessed before.

The intensity of the battle continued to escalate, with both Chang Jin and Evil Warding unleashing their most powerful techniques and abilities. The ground shook beneath their feet, and the very air crackled with their immense energy.

Han Zhi could feel the tension rising within him as he prepared to join the fight, following Ji Fang's instructions.

Finally, the long-awaited moment had arrived. he uncorked the vials containing the blood essence given to him by Ji Fang before consuming them one by one.

As they coursed through his veins, a surge of power enveloped his entire being. A tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and he could feel his senses sharpening to an extraordinary level.

As the blood essence worked its magic, Han Zhi's cultivation began to skyrocket, surpassing all his previous achievements. In a matter of moments, he broke through the intermediate stage of the spirit severing realm, his spiritual energy surging to new heights. With each passing second, his progress seemed unstoppable, pushing past the peak of the intermediate stage and hurtling towards the late stage with unparalleled speed.

Without any signs of slowing down, Han Zhi's cultivation continued to soar, shattering the limits of the late stage of the spirit severing realm. The sheer force of the breakthrough resonated in the air, only audible to Han Zhi himself. It was a profound, soul-stirring sound that marked his ascension to an unprecedented realm.

However, as abruptly as it had intensified, the surge of power began to gradually subside. The insurmountable speed gradually slowed, and his cultivation stabilized. Han Zhi's ascent finally halted, no longer able to break through any further. The force that had propelled him forward diminished, leaving him at the early stage of The Dao Integration realm.
