Chapter 632: Cultivating the Divine

Ding Huan hadn't even reacted when bolts of lightning crashed down.

Is this the Lei Jie of Shen Cultivation?

He had just converted all his Immortal Qi into Divine Qi, hadn't even begun pushing toward Shen Cultivation—and yet the Lei Jie of Shen Cultivation had already arrived? So the ultimate Dao isn't about forcing insight or striving to break through—it forms naturally.

Though he knew he couldn't expect every Dao insight to unfold as effortlessly as this, Ding Huan was still deeply satisfied.

He didn't summon any artifact—he simply punched forward with his fist.

Crack!

The lightning bolt struck Ding Huan's fist, instantly cracking his knuckles.

Ding Huan was internally stunned—this Lei Jie of Shen Cultivation was far stronger than the lightning of the Immortal World.

More accurately, this should be called a Divine Core Crystal. But such a Divine Core Crystal had appeared only once in the Wangshen Ladder Sea.

Because here there is the Poison of Chen Dao.

Boom! Boom! Boom! When the fourth wave of eighteen lightning arcs descended, Ding Huan's physical strength surged rapidly.

The several cultivators also saw Ding Huan and were momentarily stunned.

This is slightly below a Five-Star Divine Core Crystal; if you must categorize it, calling it a Low-Grade Five-Star Divine Core Crystal wouldn't be wrong.

He felt the Divine Qi had grown slightly thinner.

His newly repaired body cracked open again—Ding Huan knew clearly: this was a precursor to physical advancement.

He found no lower-grade Divine Core Stones, so he reached the seventeenth level and found another postnatal Five-Star Divine Core Crystal.

He packed away the Gathering Spirit Divine Array, swept his Divine Sense around, and spotted several Divine Core Stones along the edge of the eighteenth level of the Ladder Sea.

With the Gathering Spirit Divine Array, the speed at which Divine Qi gathered during Ding Huan's cultivation increased further.

The woman wore a veil, concealing her face.

Ding Huan also noticed the puzzled glances from several people, but he didn't recognize them and said nothing.

He had been stuck in the Immortal Body stage for far too long.

As soon as he stepped out of the Wangshen Ladder Sea, Ding Huan saw several cultivators preparing to enter.

This was indeed an excellent place for cultivation.

Six months passed unnoticed; when Ding Huan ceased cultivation, he had reached the third layer of Shen Cultivation.

Combined with the Great Cosmic Art's naturally strong absorption of heavenly and earthly Qi, within a few days, Ding Huan's Gathering Spirit Divine Array was wrapped in a faint veil of Divine Qi.

Ding Huan's aura surged wildly; the strength of his domain increased more than a hundredfold, his mental sea grew denser and more refined, the Great Dao Cosmic Universe within it resembling an infinite starry expanse.

This powerful aura drew the attention of every cultivator within the Wangshen Ladder Sea.

Ding Huan asked curiously: "Where's the barkeep?"

If you have no business here, leave quickly—otherwise, the Freelancer Alliance won't let you go.

The Lei Jie vanished; Ding Huan effortlessly circulated his Great Dao cultivation technique.

This should be a postnatal Divine Core Crystal—the highest-tier Five-Star Divine Core Crystal.

Though still far from the Heavenly God realm, the feeling was unmistakably clear and distinct.

But the old man's aura made Ding Huan immediately retract his Divine Sense—he was certain that if the old man wanted to kill him, he'd only need to raise a hand.

On the eighteenth level of the Ladder Sea, the heavenly and earthly Divine Qi was pure and dense, with no external interference whatsoever.

He had no chance to resist at all.

Ding Huan swept his Divine Sense around—there was only one such crystal-clear object.

But only he could cultivate here; anyone else would instantly be reduced to ash by the Dao Resonance of the Poison.

Every so often, sects come here to seek disciples with exceptional talent.

Even the most potent Divine Antidote Pills won't work.

Ding Huan didn't hesitate—he followed the grim-faced man.

Before the fifth wave of lightning arcs had even passed, a torrent of violent Divine Qi surged like a broken dam, engulfed by Ding Huan.

If the barkeep hadn't found you in five days, her friend came and fought the Freelancer Alliance—many died. The barkeep likely left the Wangshen Ladder Sea with her friend.

The tavern's door was open, but no one was serving alcohol; several freelancers sat inside chatting idly.

Just a few words immediately drew a crowd of disciples rushing over.

Ding Huan was momentarily stunned—what was going on?

"I'm an officer of the Freelancer Alliance. Something happened to the Wu-Yuan Squad, and you're involved. Come with me." The grim-faced man spoke coldly.

When the sixth wave of lightning arcs descended, Ding Huan had already reached the first layer of Shen Cultivation—his Dao Resonance was refined, his aura thick, his Divine Qi surging.

Just as he took a few steps, two figures descended from the sky.

Even the Central Divine Region occasionally sees sects come here to recruit disciples.

Clear. Vast.

Even stronger lightning arcs striking Ding Huan's body only tore his flesh apart—his bones suffered not a single crack.

According to the introduction he had obtained on the Wangshen Ladder Sea, this crystal-clear Divine Core Stone was a primordial Divine Core Stone, surpassing Five-Star Divine Core Stones.

When the fifth wave of eighteen lightning arcs descended, Ding Huan's bones had fully restructured.

In fact, the Divine Gate of the Lower Divine Region coming here to recruit disciples was not the first time.

This was a newcomer with reckless audacity. After searching around, he picked up two more pure white Divine Core Crystals.

After all, beyond the Immortal World lies the Divine World.

What's the main purpose of these freelancers gathering here? Isn't it to join a Divine Gate?

He began setting up the Gathering Spirit Divine Array.

At the first layer of Shen Cultivation, Ding Huan effortlessly established a Level-Two Gathering Spirit Divine Array.

Almost everyone believed that Ding Huan had definitely been taken out by the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Crack!

When he returned to the tavern again, he discovered that the tavern proprietress was gone.

Ding Huan walked to the very top of the Sea of Ladders and picked up a crystalline, translucent divine spark stone.

Now that a divine sect had come to recruit disciples, how could he possibly miss this opportunity?

Streak after streak of Lei Jie arcs slammed into Ding Huan's body without any obstruction, and Ding Huan could clearly hear the sounds of his bones restructuring and his physical body rapidly tempering.

Could this still be related to his Grand Cosmos Art? That's right—his own Grand Cosmos Art formed its own cosmos system; did it still need to temper other divine sparks? If he needed to temper other divine sparks to advance, then wouldn't his Grand Cosmos Art be no different from any other cultivation art?

"Ding Huan?" An abrupt voice rang out, and Ding Huan immediately saw a sullen-faced man staring at him.

Then he would find a place with denser divine spiritual energy to enter closed-door cultivation.

Ding Huan said blandly, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

Knowing that his Grand Cosmos Art did not require tempering divine sparks, Ding Huan was in excellent spirits.

Ding Huan, however, showed not the slightest intention of changing his approach, still throwing punch after punch at the Lei Jie arcs.

"Today I've come here to recruit some outer disciples. If your aptitude is good enough, entering the inner gate of my Green Leishendao Sect is not impossible. Those willing to join my Green Leishendao Sect may come to participate in the selection…"

Isn't it said that to advance to the Heavenly God realm, one must temper a divine spark? And it's also said that cultivators who don't temper a divine spark can only hover below Heavenly God their whole lives, never making any progress.

He had come here to find the proprietress for only one purpose—to ask how to leave the Sea of Ladders of Wang Shen.

Ding Huan continued to absorb divine spiritual energy.

Ding Huan searched some more and found three divine spark crystals with faintly mottled coloring.

However, this proprietress was clearly not someone easy to provoke either; she and the Loose Cultivator Alliance had probably both ended up badly hurt.

Was he familiar with the proprietress? And had even implicated her? At the time, he remembered he had even said the proprietress's wine tasted bad and wasn't worth a single low-grade divine crystal per cup.

He didn't have many divine crystals on him, and with such an excellent cultivation environment here, Ding Huan naturally wanted to cultivate for a longer stretch of time.

What descended were an old man and a young woman.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. My name is Boya, and I come from the Green Leishendao Sect of the Lower God Lands.

The strength of his physical body was clearly perceived by Ding Huan; he had assumed that after the immortal body reached perfection, it would become a divine body.

Ding Huan raised his hand, snatched out a twin-leaf immortal cattail, and rapidly fused it, frantically circulating the Nirvana Art.

As Ding Huan forcibly resisted, the Lei Jie arcs grew increasingly ferocious.

No one answered Ding Huan's words.

Not many people had met Ding Huan, but because what Ding Huan did half a year ago was too conspicuous, many people had seen images of Ding Huan.

Based on Ding Huan's understanding of the Dao Laws of the Dao of Sinking Poison, this kind of poison Dao Law should not be something an ordinary divine pill could resolve.

Ding Huan actually felt that even without needing to temper a divine spark, he could still advance to the Heavenly God realm.

He felt that his physical body could also advance during this Lei Jie.

He needed to leave the Land of Wang Shen.

No one expected that after so long, Ding Huan could actually still survive at the hands of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Ding Huan nodded. "Fine, lead the way."

Now that he was using the twin-leaf immortal cattail and the Nirvana Art to advance his physical body, Ding Huan realized that the perfection of the immortal body was not the divine body, but the holy body.

Feeling it was truly a waste of time, Ding Huan decided to leave the Sea of Ladders of Wang Shen right now.

"Half a year ago, the Loose Cultivator Alliance searched for you without finding you. They believed you had the most contact with the proprietress, so they gave the proprietress a five-day deadline to turn you in.

Just as Ding Huan was thinking of finding a shop to ask how to leave the Sea of Ladders of Wang Shen, a voice transmission landed in his ear:

The old man, sensing the crowd's panic, declared in a clear voice:

After the third wave of nine thunder arcs descended, both of Ding Huan's arms and shoulders were a bloody mess, with shattered bones.

Only by comprehending and understanding this poison Dao Law, and transforming it into one of one's own great Dao Laws, can one ignore this poison Dao Law.

No, continuing to stay here to cultivate, the speed of cultivation improvement is too slow.

The sullen-faced man still wanted to throw out a threat, but after hearing Ding Huan's words, he was slightly stunned—agreed just like that? Some loose cultivators still resting in the tavern also looked at Ding Huan in surprise, agreeing so quickly? "Very well." After the sullen-faced man finished speaking, he turned and left.

This isn't right.

The sullen-faced man who was leading Ding Huan hadn't expected a sect to come recruit disciples at this moment either, and he stopped as well.

The purpose of staying at the Loose Cultivator Alliance as a hired thug was naturally still to get into a sect. Now that the opportunity was right before him, should he continue taking Ding Huan to the Loose Cultivator Alliance? Ding Huan turned and left; the Green Leishendao Sect was recruiting disciples, and he planned to go take a look.

He had been in the Land of Wang Shen for over half a year now, and no one had come to find him, which showed that the matter of him killing Qing should not have been leaked.

"Hold it." Seeing Ding Huan about to leave, the sullen-faced man immediately blocked himself in front of Ding Huan.
