Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 337: Chapter 215: Divine Thought

Atop the Sword Holding Peak, Li Shiming sat cross-legged, with the Nourishing God Jade adhered to his forehead.

To transform the Spiritual Thought of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator into Divine Thought was no easy task, and the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique” was a secret spiritual technique that enabled Foundation Establishment Cultivators to master Divine Thought ahead of time.

A Spiritual Thought within his soul turned into a massive Spirit Iron Hammer, smashing down onto the Spiritual Thought itself.

The impact of the Spirit Iron Hammer caused his entire body to tremble; since the Spiritual Thought possessed all five senses, such a heavy strike was as intensely felt as a direct attack on the soul itself.

He took a deep breath as the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique” produced a special energy, replenishing the damaged Spiritual Thought.

As the second blow of the Spirit Iron Hammer fell, his complexion had turned pale. At that moment, energy from the Nourishing God Jade combined with the special energy generated by the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique” to restore the battered Spiritual Thought.

...
With the third strike, the fourth, his body was drenched in sweat, but excitement gleamed in his eyes.

Because on his first attempt at cultivating the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique,” he had withstood thirty-six full-force blows from the Spirit Iron Hammer, which was far more than he had anticipated.

According to the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique,” an average late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator could endure no more than twenty-odd hits from the Spirit Iron Hammer during their first attempt; surviving that many was considered an excellent result.

He ceased the heavy hammering of the Spirit Iron Hammer and used the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique” to recover the depleted spirit.

Once his spirit had recuperated, he resumed the second round of Spirit Iron Hammer strikes, forging his Spiritual Thought.

In the following days, he stopped all alchemy. Apart from practicing “Purple Qi Eastward,” he halted all other cultivation practices and almost incessantly practiced the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique.”

Only because his spirit was extraordinarily robust could he sustain such unrelenting use.

Given that the benefits of cultivating “Purple Qi Eastward” had increased his spirit beyond the level of late-stage Foundation Establishment, naturally, his progress with the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique” was rapidly advancing.

Under such high-frequency forging, his Spiritual Thought was undergoing a transformation.

“Nine hundred ninety-nine times!” Li Shiming counted the number of Spirit Iron Hammer falls, with joy in his heart replacing the pain of the heavy strikes on his Spiritual Thought.

He sensed that his Spiritual Thought was on the verge of a dramatic change, and his spirit had grown stronger from the days of practicing the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique.”

“One thousand times!” With the final strike of the Spirit Iron Hammer, his consciousness briefly blurred, and his soul temporarily lost its capacity for thought.

Once he regained clarity, he perceived changes within himself; his cognitive speed had increased no less than fivefold.

This sensation was like upgrading a computer’s CPU—so much so that he even felt this body and brain mismatched, with the body limiting the operating speed of the brain, which could otherwise accelerate.

This was probably because his soul had been enhanced beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage, and although his body was strong, it had not transcended that stage.

Even the best CPUs need suitable memory to perform at their best, similar to his current state.

Li Shiming was getting a taste of what it felt like to be a Golden Core cultivator; his brain could process a vast amount of information at incredible speeds.

This even impacted Li Yuanba of the Senluo Sect; his spirit, too, was invigorated. The connection between his main body and his split-off self grew tighter, with more autonomy in their thoughts and smoother handling of affairs.

Li Shiming tried to mobilize his Divine Thought, extending it beyond his body.

He immediately noticed the difference between Spiritual Thought and Divine Thought: if Spiritual Thought was a tendril carrying the five senses of the cultivator, then Divine Thought was a sensory network.

In a normal state, Spiritual Thought was a thin thread of mental silk, whereas Divine Thought in its normal state was a spherical network that spread outwards from the body.

Mobilizing his Divine Thought within, everything within the periphery of the Divine Thought was clearly perceived by him.

The depth of perception with Divine Thought was also many times greater than with Spiritual Thought; akin to comparing a camera with two million pixels to one with twenty million pixels.

When he concentrated his Divine Thought into a thin line, its intensity was dozens of times stronger than that of Spiritual Thought. He could sever the Spiritual Thought of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator or even directly attack their spirit.

Naturally, without any Divine Thought attack techniques, it was not wise to assault another cultivator’s spirit unprotected; such actions could injure one’s own Divine Thought and soul if the opponent possessed spiritual-protecting treasures or techniques, so very few Golden Core cultivators would use Divine Thought directly against enemies.

Li Shiming felt he might not even need Master Ma’s “Divine Separation and Thought Transformation Technique” anymore. The “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions” he had previously obtained was also a method of Divine Splitting, although it was intended for Spiritual Thought and needed to be adjusted for Divine Thought.

“Forget it, I might as well go learn the ‘Divine Separation and Thought Transformation Technique’ from Master Ma; after all, it is a Golden Core stage Divine Separation Technique,” he muttered to himself.

The level of “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions” was too low, and modifying cultivation techniques on his own could potentially affect the outcome.

Besides, he wasn’t just looking to learn the “Divine Separation and Thought Transformation Technique.” Over a year’s time, the Red Sun Spirit Fire in his Spirit Lake had grown considerably, and lately, when refining elixir pills, he had begun using the Red Sun Spirit Fire for the process.
