The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 369: The Seventh Stage of Condensing Divine Consciousness

After concluding their affairs, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai shared an intimate moment for half a day.

Soon after, Su Jingzhen directly left her chamber.

Given the current situation, it was still a special period.

Su Jingzhen needed to seize the opportunity to study Divine Wandering, while Luo Yuebai, as the sect master of Linjiang Branch, had many matters to attend to.

As Su Jingzhen passed by, he noticed that the expression of every Linjiang Branch cultivator seemed extremely solemn.

Each sect member was already aware of the news about the sect being attacked.

In this era, Spiritual Cultivators and Body Cultivators, although not mainstream, could still pose significant trouble if they followed the right path and achieved success in their cultivation.

After all, no one had much experience dealing with them. Therefore, each disciple of the Evil Moon Sect was extremely cautious.

“We must quickly expose the person behind the scenes. Otherwise, with this hidden danger present, the sect cannot develop at all,”

Su Jingzhen murmured to himself, returning to his courtyard. He went straight to his room and lay down on the stone bed.

Initially, Shuang Jiang had advised him not to be greedy and to focus on one aspect. However, he decided it was time to start cultivating his spiritual consciousness.

Immediately, the information from Divine Wandering flowed through his mind again.

“Once the Niwan Palace is opened, spiritual consciousness can be transformed into divine consciousness. Divine consciousness can then be used for primary cultivation!”

Su Jingzhen murmured in his heart.

He closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual consciousness began to flow, initiating introspection.

Su Jingzhen’s spiritual consciousness was much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator. After all, he was now a legitimate third-rank alchemist.

The process of alchemy originally enhanced his control, which was the process of strengthening his spiritual consciousness.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen easily found the location of his Niwan Palace.

Through the perspective of his spiritual consciousness, the Niwan Palace was tightly closed, and a grayish gas seemed to be condensing in that position.

This represented that his Niwan Palace had not been opened yet.

Su Jingzhen directly condensed his spiritual consciousness and charged towards the grayish gas surrounding the Niwan Palace.

However, it disappeared without a trace, just like a muddy water entering the sea. He could not exert any influence on the grayish gas or the entire Niwan Palace at all.

“Indeed, using brute force to directly break open the Niwan Palace is beyond my capabilities with my current cultivation.”

A cultivator who could independently increase their spiritual consciousness and forcefully transform it into divine consciousness using brute force would at least be at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Su Jingzhen was an alchemist, he had not yet reached this level.

He only tried once and did not continue attempting it. Following the method described in Divine Wandering, Su Jingzhen began to condense his spiritual consciousness.

After circling the area near the Niwan Palace for a few weeks, he gradually enveloped it.

The spiritual energy near the Niwan Palace surged simultaneously.

In the next moment, under the coordination of these two forces, the grayish energy surrounding the Niwan Palace trembled and then quietly disappeared.

“As recorded in Divine Wandering, there are no cases of failing to open the Niwan Palace, and it seems to be true,” Su Jingzhen thought, feeling a slight joy in his heart.

This was the difference between mastering the technique and brute force.

Immediately, Su Jingzhen felt an ancient and mysterious aura burst out from the Niwan Palace, as if he had been reborn. Instantly, he felt his spiritual consciousness grow stronger and larger. It was as if it had gained new life.

Quickly, he felt his spiritual consciousness growing at an incredible speed, then condensing into a tiny stream.

Its size and quantity seemed to have decreased several times, but its quality had become much stronger in that moment.

According to Divine Wandering, this should be a transformation – from spiritual consciousness to divine consciousness!

This strand of divine consciousness directly entered the still empty Niwan Palace and could gradually grow there.

Cultivating the divine consciousness meant cultivating this initial strand of divine consciousness. When it grew and was hammered to a certain extent, it could break out of the Niwan Palace and be directly used against enemies.

Of course, after opening the Niwan Palace, Su Jingzhen, who now possessed divine consciousness, would also experience a significant improvement in his ability to inquire about various situations.

[Spiritual Cultivation Stage: Condensing Divine Conscious – 1st Stage

Next stage: Condensing Divine Conscious – 2nd Stage (0/10)]

Just as the Niwan Palace was opened, a new sub-panel for cultivating divine consciousness appeared on the attribute panel.

The Condensing divine consciousness stage was, as the name suggested, the process of condensing divine consciousness. It was similar to the Qi-refining stage for those who cultivated Qi.

After the Condensing divine consciousness stage, there would be the Foundation Divine Consciousness Stage, the Divine Core Stage, and the Divine Infant Stage, all of which were roughly equivalent to the Qi cultivation system.

Su Jingzhen remained in an introspective state.

As he saw the empty Niwan Palace, he didn’t hesitate and added points.

In the next moment, that strand of divine consciousness becomes twice as thick.

The cultivation template also changes accordingly.

[Cultivation Spiritual State: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 2

Next Stage: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 3 (0/30)]

[Points remaining: 1143]

Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen doesn’t hesitate and continues to add points.

At this point, he only needs to leave 800 points to ensure he can activate the Guanyuan Acupoint when he enters the valley’s mysterious land.

[Cultivation Spiritual State: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 3

Next Stage: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 4 (0/50)]

[Points remaining: 1113]

Upon reaching the third level, Su Jingzhen noticed a pattern.

It seemed that breaking through a stage in the Condensing Divine Conscious period only required twenty more points than the previous stage.

He can still manage this.

Without pausing, he continued to add points.

Spending fifty more points, he pushed his Condensing Divine Conscious Stage to the fourth stage.

[Points remaining: 1063]

Immediately, the sub-template showed that reaching the fifth level will indeed require seventy points.

Without hesitation, he chose to add points and break through.

[Cultivation Spiritual State: Condensing Divine Conscious, Level 5

Next Stage: Condensing Divine Conscious, Level 6 (0/90)]

[Points remaining: 993]

“This feeling of consecutive breakthroughs is truly wonderful.

If only, someday, my Body Cultivation and Qi Cultivation could also break through so smoothly.”

Looking at the remaining points, Su Jingzhen doesn’t hesitate and adds points again.

[Cultivation Spiritual State: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 6

Next Stage: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 7 (0/110)]

[Points remaining: 903]

“Directly breaking through to the seventh stage now won’t affect my opening of the Guanyuan Acupoint in two days.

After all, tomorrow, when the sun rises, the fixed points will replenish.”

The pleasure of adding points and breaking through was making Su Jingzhen feel like he couldn’t stop.

He spent another hundred and ten points.

Directly pushing his Condensing Divine Conscious to the seventh stage.

The cultivation template in front of him flickered again.

[Cultivation Spiritual State: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 7

Next Stage: Condensing Divine Conscious, Stage 8 (0/130)]

[Points remaining: 793]

After reaching the seventh stage, Su Jingzhen managed to suppress his urge.

He then stopped.

“I thought the points beyond eight hundred could directly push my Condensing Divine Conscious into the Foundation stage.

Spending these points is more wasteful than I imagined.”

Su Jingzhen sighed.

As he introspected the Niwan Palace again, the divine consciousness was now at least ten times larger than before.

Although the Niwan Palace still appeared vast and empty, it finally had some presence.

“Cultivating the divine consciousness according to ‘Divine Wandering’ might speed up the process significantly.”

He muttered to himself and began to practice controlling the divine consciousness within the Niwan Palace, following the methods described in Divine Wandering.

Cultivating and strengthening the divine consciousness has a considerable difference compared to cultivating the body and qi.

However, it is relatively simpler.

One only needs to sit in meditation.

Of course, this method was the slowest.

It is said that during the prosperous era of Spiritual Cultivators, there were special meditation diagrams used to forge and grow the divine consciousness.

However, in this age of Qi Cultivation, those meditation diagrams from the Spiritual Cultivator era are challenging to find.

This book, ‘Divine Wandering,’ does not include them.

Therefore, Su Jingzhen, other than breaking through by adding points, contemplating his way to the next stage will likely be at least ten times slower than cultivating the body.

After all, opening those human body Secret Repositories will not increase his Spiritual Cultivation Stage.

After meditating for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, he couldn’t sense any enhancement of his divine consciousness.

He then gave up.

For him, time was precious.

He won’t waste it on meaningless activities.

“I’ll try breaking through when I have some leftover points.

It’s better to practice The Netherworld Ghost Technique instead of sitting here.”

As he muttered to himself, he recalled the matter of the Dan Hall again.

“Although Xuening said we need a Divine Core Stage cultivator to help over a hundred pill cultivators.

During the main focus on opening the Secret Repository, occasional additions of points might not be enough to push me to Divine Core Stage in three months.

No matter if it’s possible or not, I’ll give it a try.”

He muttered to himself.

He has been boasting in front of Luo Yuebai all the time, but it won’t work if he just talks and doesn’t practice.

As he thought this, he pushed the door open and walked out of the room.

But at that moment, he felt slightly confused.

He felt that he broke through his Spiritual Cultivation to the Condensing Divine Conscious, Seventh Stage, using points without spending much time.

However, when he stepped out of the door, it’s already moonlit and starry.

It turns out that it’s already nighttime.

“Has it been so long?”

He murmured and returned to his room.

It’s too late to go out now.
