Chapter 327: Chapter 324: 1 Year
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
During this past year,
Shen Changchuan first processed what he had learned from his battle with Zhou Lingyun, which allowed him to further enhance his control over his Magical Power.
After that,
he began to study the changes in his Divine Seed.
He hoped to understand the process behind the Divine Seed’s evolution.
However,
once he actually started,
he was shocked to discover
that the difficulty was far beyond his imagination!
After toiling for over a month,
he had only managed to become slightly more adept at recreating the one transformation that had been forced upon him by the intense pressure of the life-or-death crisis caused by Zhou Lingyun’s Jade Talisman!
In other words,
aside from the transformation that occurred during that life-or-death crisis,
all the significant effort Shen Changchuan later poured into his research yielded nothing.
He also tried to recall his state of mind from that time,
hoping to find some kind of secret to it.
But after putting in a great deal of effort and still coming up empty,
Shen Changchuan had no choice but to reluctantly give up his research.
Through a period of contemplation,
Shen Changchuan had come to understand
that his previous state
was likely the result of a flash of inspiration brought on by that life-or-death crisis.
That fleeting moment of inspiration—
that was the most crucial part!
It was like scientific research in his previous life.
Sometimes, a single flash of inspiration could lead to a breakthrough that hadn’t been achieved in years, or even a decade.
Conversely, painstakingly repeating experiments day and night often yielded almost nothing.
This was most likely the reason why his research on the Divine Seed had hit a dead end!
Fortunately,
Shen Changchuan was no longer a lone wolf.
When he encountered difficulties,
he could still seek guidance from his seniors or mentors.
So, Shen Changchuan went to find his master, Master Wandering Dragon.
For some unknown reason,
it seemed Master Wandering Dragon had always been around since the Sect was established.
He never went out,
nor did he enter seclusion.
Every day, he was either fishing, playing chess with himself, or occasionally answering questions for disciples who ran into problems.
’Perhaps this is another form of Cultivation?’
Shen Changchuan wasn’t sure.
But this was perfect,
as it allowed Shen Changchuan to seek guidance at any time.
And when Shen Changchuan presented his question,
Master Wandering Dragon was taken aback for a moment.
His gaze fell upon Shen Changchuan.
He checked again and again,
and especially when Shen Changchuan demonstrated the transformation of his Sanqing Forest Sword Array’s Divine Seed for him,
a look of utter shock became evident on Master Wandering Dragon’s face!
His eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief!
’He’s already begun to explore the Divine Seed on a deeper level?’
’How is this possible?!’
At that moment,
Master Wandering Dragon stroked his chin, starting to question reality itself.
It was a good thing he didn’t have a beard,
or else he would have been so shocked he’d have plucked a few strands out!
"Excellent! Truly excellent!"
"I never imagined your Comprehension and talent for Divine Power Techniques were so high. I fear even the direct bloodline descendants of the Sect’s Masters Profound Pill, who have been nurtured with Enlightenment Tea from a young age, are no match for you!"
After his initial shock, Master Wandering Dragon offered these words of praise.
He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
As one of the seven masters of the Yuqing Immortal Sect, Master Wandering Dragon’s experience and knowledge were by no means shallow!
In his nearly one hundred years at the Yuqing Immortal Sect,
how many geniuses had he not seen?!
But Shen Changchuan was undoubtedly an exception!
Because to be at the Soul Emergence First Layer—or rather, to have just recently ascended to the Soul Emergence Realm—
and to have already begun the evolution of his Divine Seed... it was simply too shocking!
One must understand,
those who could condense a Divine Seed
were already considered top-tier geniuses!
Even if someone managed to forcibly create one using Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, that person would still be superior to the average individual; otherwise, it would be a lost cause, as you can’t prop up a wall with rotten mud.
And among these geniuses who had condensed a Divine Seed,
the vast majority only began to forge their own path from their Divine Seed during the Middle to Late Stage of the Soul Emergence Realm, after their Divine Sense had been significantly refined and enhanced, and they had accumulated enough experience and wisdom.
This Shen Changchuan before him
had undoubtedly shattered his understanding of things!
It was too outrageous!
Soul Emergence First Layer...
Even if there were elements of luck and opportunity involved,
how long had it actually been?
Such heaven-defying talent...
even Master Wandering Dragon had never witnessed anything like it!
This inevitably increased Shen Changchuan’s importance in his heart by several degrees.
Of course,
while still reeling from the shock,
Master Wandering Dragon didn’t forget to offer Shen Changchuan his guidance and advice.
According to Master Wandering Dragon’s explanation,
the transformation of a Divine Seed is deeply personal.
The direction of its evolution
is related to the Cultivator’s own accumulated cultivation and personal understanding.
It’s just like how different seeds, due to their genes and growing environments, ultimately grow into different trees.
Different people condense different Divine Seeds,
and even if they were to condense the same Divine Technique into a Divine Seed, the final results would be worlds apart!
Just as no two leaves in the world are exactly the same.
Therefore,
cultivation of the Divine Seed relies primarily on the individual. The experiences of others can only serve as a reference at best.
To this end,
Master Wandering Dragon even cited many examples from the Sect to illustrate these variations.
At the same time, however,
Master Wandering Dragon also gave Shen Changchuan some practical advice.
Just like a plant’s seed, a Divine Seed also requires nourishment to grow.
And this nourishment
is the Cultivator’s understanding of Cultivation Techniques!
The specific method
is to practice as many types of Magic as possible, broadening one’s knowledge and deepening the reserves of this ’nourishment’!
The more Magic you practice, the broader your knowledge becomes. The more nourishment—or ’fertilizer,’ you could say—you have for the seed, the more magnificent the ’tree’ that grows from your Divine Seed will be!
And this,
was precisely why other geniuses who had condensed a Divine Seed only began its evolution during the Middle to Late Stage of the Soul Emergence Realm!
When one’s Realm is higher, their Divine Sense is stronger,
and the speed at which they can practice Magic is also much faster.
At the same time, the journey from the Soul Emergence First Layer to the Middle to Late Stage provides a certain accumulation of experience over time.
Thus, it is precisely during this period
that the evolution of the Divine Seed occurs naturally, when the conditions are right.
For someone like Shen Changchuan, who was able to trigger the evolution of his Divine Seed so soon after ascending to the Soul Emergence Realm,
he was truly an anomaly.
Having received guidance from his master, Master Wandering Dragon, Shen Changchuan had a sudden epiphany.
’Could it be? The reason my Divine Seed evolved is that I’ve practiced so much Wood Element and Sword System Magic, and even cultivated the Basic Array Master legacy to Perfection. Did I already have enough ’nourishment’ accumulated?’
As he came to this realization,
Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but feel a little strange.
’I never thought practicing so much Magic would have such a benefit.’
’What an unexpected windfall!’
