Chapter 1068: Chapter 452: Seizing Fortune Once Again_3

"At that time, with this massive impact, this Profound Celestial Embryo might have the opportunity to undergo its final transformation and fully emerge."

"Of course, all of this is still early."

Xu Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart, "At the very least, I need to wait until my Mana cultivation reaches Nascent Soul Perfection and my Sword Dao makes another breakthrough."

Then, he would have enough confidence to face the Nine Nether Elder.

No matter what the opponent planned, he could break it by force.

Savoring the scattered thoughts, Xu Ping began to carefully experience the subtle changes brought by this Dao Rhyme baptism.

First, it was the Divine Sense.

Xu Ping’s mind moved slightly, and without fully exerting, the vast and immense Power of Divine Sense had already spread silently like mercury.

The coverage, penetration, and fine control had all made great progress compared to before the baptism.

"The Divine Sense has further advanced, now considered powerful even among Early-Stage Divinity Transformation cultivators."

Xu Ping carefully evaluated, "If compared to an individual from the Dual Saints of the Star Palace, it might not be much different either."

This enhancement made him extremely satisfied.

A strong Divine Sense means stronger perception, faster reactions, and more exquisite control.

Especially in combat, using such Divine Sense to activate the Soul-Breaking Needle, which specifically targets the Divine Soul, would undoubtedly pose a substantial threat to opponents of the Saints’ level.

"This is merely the direct manifestation in combat."

Xu Ping pondered, "When comprehending Sword Dao, drawing rank five talismans, or refining complex puppets, inscribing the core Restrictions will be more handy... the benefits are endless."

Suppressing the excitement brought by the surge in Divine Sense, Xu Ping continued to look inward, examining the changes in other aspects.

Secondly, it was the Mana and Nascent Soul.

Within the Dantian’s Purple Palace, that Nascent Soul, already incredibly solidified.

At this moment, it seemed to be cloaked in a faint blue haze, sitting amongst increasingly dense misty purple energy, its facial features clear, its appearance increasingly dignified, and full of spirituality.

It even seemed slightly more closely connected with the world.

And the mana that originally surged endlessly within the meridians, extraordinarily pure, seemed to have gone through extensive refinement and tempering after this Dao Rhyme baptism, being further purified and compressed.

As the Mana flowed, it carried a heavy texture, with a deep color, faintly glowing with a bluish sheen, its quality undergoing a significant, nearly essential transformation.

"With the current purity of my Mana, compared to ordinary Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators, I’m probably much stronger by an incalculable margin." Xu Ping could clearly feel the difference.

This not only means greater power when performing Divine Techniques, but also stronger endurance, supporting the expenditure of Sword Dao for longer periods.

"In terms of foundation, it is undoubtedly stronger."

Xu Ping slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, even this breath carried pure spiritual light.

An all-encompassing enhancement, making his Dao foundation more solid, his potential more profound, reaching an unprecedented height.

For the future assault on the Divinity Transformation Realm, he was even more confident. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This unexpected mutation of the Profound Celestial Embryo, although it brought some hidden worries about Emperor Xuan, brought even more pragmatic gifts of power.

Xu Ping gathered his aura, the divine light in his eyes restrained, controlling all the soaring power in his heart, without revealing a trace.

...

Meanwhile.

Far in the core of the Inner Sea of the Wind Origin Realm, deep within the forbidden area shrouded by endless Star Power.

The star pool was a blood-red scene.

The thick, foul-smelling blood, containing violent demonic energy, roiled in the pool, continuously crashing against the pool walls, producing a corrosive sound that grated on the teeth.

Above the pool, the star chains and runes that originally bound the Celestial Torture Child had completely disappeared.

The Celestial Torture Child had evidently been thoroughly obliterated, with all his pure and strange Demon Essence, flesh, and even Divine Soul origin completely consumed and fused by this star pool.

In theory, this costly step long planned by the Dual Saints of the Star Palace should be considered successful.

The mixed energy in the star pool, surging to the point of inducing chills, was the proof.

However, standing by the star pool, the Star King and Moon God showed no trace of joy on their faces; instead, their expressions were so dark they could drip water.

The low pressure emanating from them made the entire forbidden area’s space seem frozen.

The reason was none other than that just now, when they completely refined the Celestial Torture Child, the fortune from the heavens, which should have been a feedback upon the fall of an Upper Realm Divinity Transformation, was cut off again when it should have been bestowed upon them.

That fortune... was intercepted.

Just like the last time, the share that belonged to them vanished into thin air, whereabouts unknown!

"The Outer Sea!"

The Star King suddenly looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of palaces and endless seas, staring in the direction of the Outer Sea, squeezing out these two words from between his teeth, his voice cold and biting, filled with overwhelming fury and murderous intent.

As the master of the Star Palace, he had a mysterious sense of the circulation of fortune.

Although he couldn’t precisely determine who it was, the sense of being plundered ultimately disappeared in the direction of the Outer Sea.

The Celestial Torture Child was of the Divinity Transformation level from the Upper Realm, and upon his destruction, half of the fortune should return to the Upper Realm.

The remaining half, supposed to be absorbed by the world of Wind Origin Realm, should have belonged to the two of them.

But now, their share of fortune was taken.

And once again, it was the Outer Sea.

The Moon God’s cold voice also carried uncontrollable anger and a trace of confusion, "Who exactly has such means to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth twice in a row?"

The starlight around the Star King fluctuated violently, showing his inner unrest, and he said coldly, "Those in the Outer Sea capable of such feats are none other than three entities."

"That old ghost of Nine Nether, as a Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivator, has unpredictable methods, highly suspicious."

"And then there’s Xu Ping, this child has too many secrets, possessing Divinity Transformation combat power with a Nascent Soul body, and having touched the Sword Dao. It’s hard to say if there isn’t some heaven-defying Secret Technique or artifact unknown to us."
