Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 390 - 195: Secrets of the Ancient Sect, Divine Sense Soars

"Since that’s the case, then why is it called the Celestial Demon? Could it actually be cultivators from other realms, even the Upper Realm?"

Chu Ning’s eyes flickered. Having traveled across realms himself, he naturally knew that there were other planes of existence.

However, all of this was merely his speculation, without any answers.

So at this moment, he decided to stop pondering over it.

The Divine Sense continued to scan the patterns on these walls. Chu Ning was very curious about how to engrave these murals so vividly using the Divine Sense.

As Chu Ning immersed his Divine Sense and Heart Spirit back into these murals,

he was no longer just looking at the content.

Instead, he tried to use his Divine Sense to penetrate these written murals and carefully sense their underlying principles.

To his surprise, Chu Ning discovered that the words and murals seemed to turn into specks of golden light, transmitting directly into his mind through his Divine Sense.

"This..."

Chu Ning’s gaze shimmered. When he looked again,

he found that the mural he just finished sensing was completely visible now, and he could see it without the need for Divine Sense.

Simultaneously, Chu Ning noticed that there seemed to be more light spots scattered within his Sea of Consciousness.

Greatly surprised, Chu Ning immediately used his Divine Sense to sense the next painting, also attempting to penetrate it with his Divine Sense.

Amazingly, just like the previous scene,

these words and murals likewise transformed into streams of golden light and surged into Chu Ning’s Sea of Consciousness.

Then, the words and murals could be seen directly without needing Spiritual Sense.

One after another, Chu Ning repeated the process, using his Divine Sense to penetrate and sense all the texts and murals.

At this moment, all the golden light in his Sea of Consciousness converged together.

The next instant, it then merged into the Spiritual Sense Liquid within Chu Ning’s Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly, Chu Ning felt a warm sensation emanating from his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately afterward, he clearly felt that his Divine Sense had grown stronger.

This continued for about the time it takes to burn one stick of incense, and Chu Ning finally sensed the warmth in his Sea of Consciousness dissipating.

It turned out that all that golden light had completely merged into Chu Ning’s Spiritual Sense Liquid.

"My Divine Sense is now much stronger than before. Unfortunately, the restrictions here block it, so I can’t fully release my Divine Sense.

Otherwise, I would be able to perceive it more clearly. However, I have a feeling that my Divine Sense’s range must have exceeded a thousand zhang."

Chu Ning’s heart moved, and he immediately checked the proficiency levels in his mind.

[Flame Divine Wood Technique (Profound Tier Upper Grade), Third Layer (603/20000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Immortal Soul (1500/3000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Third Layer (6602/8000)]

Upon seeing this, Chu Ning’s mouth slightly opened.

"500 points!"

He remembered clearly that before heading to Thousand Illusion Island, his Refining Spirit Technique proficiency was 6102.

During this period, he hadn’t practiced the Refining Spirit Technique for improvement at all.

Yet, just in this short amount of time, his Refining Spirit Technique had increased by as much as 500 points!

A glimmer of joy flashed across Chu Ning’s eyes.

"The growth of the Divine Sense might be far better than I had imagined."

This was because Chu Ning knew that improving Divine Sense through other means would also increase the proficiency of the Refining Spirit Technique,

but it was not the same as simply practicing the Refining Spirit Technique to gain proficiency.

Accurately speaking, the growth of Divine Sense in terms of degree was much stronger than the proficiency reflected in the Refining Spirit Technique.

He had previous experience with this matter.

Back when Chu Ning was at Foundation Establishment, the range of his Divine Sense increased a lot.

However, the improvement reflected in the Refining Spirit Technique’s proficiency was just over a hundred points.

And now, reflected in the Refining Spirit Technique’s proficiency, it increased by as much as 500 points!

According to Chu Ning’s estimation, his Divine Sense growth must indeed be very impressive.

Perhaps even compared to that short, skinny old man in the black robe, he might not fall behind.

"After taking a huge loss earlier, at least now I’ve somewhat made it up."

A faint smile appeared on Chu Ning’s face.

He knew full well that during his earlier chase, besides suffering severe injuries and consuming three Small Celestial Essence Pills,

he also lost two Thundering Beads with powerful destructive force, as well as a painstakingly refined puppet with the strength of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

As for those talismans, they were automatically overlooked by him.

Now with a rapid boost in Divine Sense, at least it eased Chu Ning’s heart somewhat.

Divine Sense once again sensed toward the stone chamber walls to confirm that there was nothing unusual.

Chu Ning’s Divine Sense scanned around the stone chamber and finally fell upon the skeleton.

Under the sensing of Divine Sense, he noticed two items.

One was the crystalline, jade-like sternum on its chest.

And the other was a simple jade token.

On both sides of that jade token were engraved images of demon beasts resembling a phoenix and another resembling a bull-like beast.

Chu Ning looked at this jade token with flashing eyes, then reached into his storage to take out another jade token.

This was precisely the token he obtained from the storage bag after defeating several Song Family members in the Reincarnation Ancient Cave.

The two jade tokens were identical.

Except for a slight difference in the small decorative patterns.

"If that jade token is this Grand Elder’s Identity Token, then the one on me might very well be another elder’s Identity Token.

I wonder why it ended up in the outside world."

With this thought crossing his mind, Chu Ning once again swept his Divine Sense around and found nothing unusual.

He then slowly approached the stone bed.

"Forgive my rudeness, elder!"

Chu Ning bowed respectfully to the skeleton and waved his hand toward it.

Using the Exorcism Technique, he grabbed the jade token directly into his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ning reached out and tried to take the crystalline, jade-like sternum from the chest.

To Chu Ning’s surprise, the sternum was also easily caught in his hand.

Meanwhile, the entire skeleton immediately scattered on the stone bed.

It seemed that this skeleton had been relying entirely on this sternum for support.

As Chu Ning observed this scene, the crystalline, jade-like sternum in front of him suddenly began to tremble.

Before Chu Ning could react,

in the next moment, the sternum broke free from his hand.

Then it shot toward his chest like a bolt of lightning.
