Chapter 189: Advancing to the Profound Abode Realm!
After developing the sea of consciousness, one's divine sense will naturally emerge. The formation of one's divine sense indicates that one has reached the Profound Abode Realm! Pang Jian recalled from the Qi Nurturing Divine Cauldron Art manual.
He was certain the slender threads emerging from the acupoints in his sea of consciousness were his divine sense!
According to Luo Hongyan's and Qi Qingsong's explanations, the formation of one's divine sense signified one's breakthrough into the Profound Abode Realm and marked a significant advancement in cultivation.
What puzzled Pang Jian was the lack of fluctuations in his spiritual sea. Unlike the Innate Realm, his spiritual sea neither expanded nor absorbed a significant amount of the surrounding spiritual qi. His body also showed no noticeable changes.
The breakthrough to the Profound Abode Realm was unexpectedly uneventful when compared to the painful experience of opening his meridians to advance to the Meridian Opening Realm, his agony in the darkness of the Fifth World when breaking through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and the wonderful feeling of becoming one with the world when advancing to the Innate Realm.
He could not help but question whether or not he had actually broken through.
I still can't control my divine sense. Does that mean I'm not in the Profound Abode Realm yet? But based on what I know, the ability to skillfully manipulate divine sense is an advanced skill of those who reached the Profound Abode Realm...
The longer he thought about it, the more he felt something was off.
The description of the Profound Abode Realm states that once the divine sense is formed, it allows for detailed insight into the intricacies of one's internal organs and soul, as well as enables one to scrutinize their surroundings...
Pang Jian decided to test his perception. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
A marvelous scene appeared in his mind!
Although his eyes were closed, he could see himself sitting in the cave and could perceive everything around him from above his head to beneath his feet.
It was as if there were eyes all over his body!
This meant he would not be vulnerable to ambush during battle as he could even sense the enemy's attacks from his blind spots!
Is this the Profound Abode Realm? Pang Jian wondered, standing up.
Eyes still closed, he continued to test his newfound ability and found the situation remained consistent.
A three-dimensional image with him at the center appeared in his mind, allowing him to see all around him. This extraordinary state was similar to when he was connected to the World Eater Vine in Misty Swamp and shared its perception of the world.
Perhaps, I've indeed broken through. Let me try to look into my body! Sitting down again, Pang Jian attempted to look into his dantian and spiritual sea.
In his vast spiritual sea, he saw the fiery pool and the ice pool!
He could also see the moon, the small sun, and the scattered stars in his dantian. They were no longer just faint impressions!
It was as if he had grown eyes in his dantian and spiritual sea, allowing him to see every detail with great clarity!
The flames dancing in the fiery pool, the explosive scent of magma and sulfur, and the glistening crystals in the ice pool, all appeared vividly in his mind's eye!
The mystical wells connected to his meridians at the bottom of his spiritual sea could also be seen.
With a single thought, the scene changed to the three green leaves covering his thumping heart. He could discern the intricate patterns on the three leaves, the life energy flowing through them, and their nourishing effect on his heart.
Next, he examined his stomach, liver, spleen, and other internal organs. He saw how his bones glowed a faint red, and how the meridians transporting spiritual power and blood appeared to have been magnified dozens of times over.
As Pang Jian observed he noticed his meridians and blood vessels also had some differences. Some of the delicate meridians in his limbs only circulated spiritual power and various energies. Meanwhile, certain blood vessels only allowed blood and blood essence to flow through them.
"The Pang Jian that Elder Jiu Yuan is determined to kill?"
"He's still alive?"
The Blood Moon Sect disciples had not seen Pang Jian but recognized his name.
One of the disciple's eyes lit up. "I heard that he has a million spirit stones!"
Another person licked his lips. "Indeed! He failed to draw the lot for the woman from the Blood Spirit Sect. The spirit stones he exchanged from Rank Seven Vicious Beasts' spirit materials are still in his possession!"
Fang Boxuan frowned.
Meanwhile, the six Blood Moon Sect disciples stared greedily at Pang Jian's spatial bracelet.
Pang Jian was all too familiar with the look in their eyes.
There are seven of them including Fang Boxuan. Most of them are in the Innate Realm and the Profound Abode Realm. It'll be troublesome if I get surrounded, but if I stretch out the battlefield, I could have a chance.
Pang Jian quickly formulated a plan.
Whoosh!
He held onto his Startling Slaughter Spear and leaped from the cave entrance, rushing toward the Fourth Peak the moment he landed.
"He's quite smart!"
"Chase him!"
Five disciples of the Blood Moon Sect did not hesitate to pursue Pang Jian.
"Junior Brother Fang, what about you?" A rather attractive woman named Chen Min knitted her brows. When she saw that Fang Boxuan was not giving chase, she too suppressed her urge to chase Pang Jian. "I know you don't get along with Elder Jiu Yuan, but that doesn't stop you from taking the million spirit stones, right?"
In the Third World, only Spirit Condensation Realm elders of the major sects were likely to have accumulated a million spirit stones over the years. Although Fang Boxuan was an incredible talent, he had not been cultivating long enough to gather such wealth.
Even if he left the Blood Moon Sect in the Third World for the upper worlds in the future, he would still have to rely heavily on spirit stones, so Chen Min found it strange that Fang Boxuan did not act.
"Zhao Yuanqi from the Red Mountain Sect once asked me to help her senior sister, who seems to have some connection with him," Fang Boxuan explained honestly. "Zhao Yuanqi, Yang Rui, Xie Xiwen, and I will all go to the Second World to cultivate. I don't want Zhao Yuanqi to resent me for killing Pang Jian."
Chen Min snorted inwardly. Zhao Yuanqi again!
She had always had feelings for the tall and handsome Fang Boxuan, but although she had openly shown her affection for him, he had always remained indifferent to her.
Two days ago, after they finally escaped the Wood Race's siege, she had actively approached him to offer herself. She had hoped Fang Boxuan would remember her and provide her with some cultivation resources once he achieved great success in the future.
However, he had once again rejected her. Now, hearing that Fang Boxuan's concern for Pang Jian stemmed from Zhao Yuanqi, Chen Min felt even more uncomfortable.
"If you won't do it, I will!" Chen Min huffed before turning to chase after Pang Jian.
If I can obtain a million spirit stones, I can advance to the Spirit Condensation Realm and maybe even become an elder of the Blood Moon Sect like Jiu Yuan! she thought.
Her determination to kill grew even stronger.
