Chapter 255

The vortex trembled, spiritual energy surging forth.

Jiang Jian sat at the center of the lone island, eyes half-closed, his moon-white robe billowing.

Amid the howling gales.

He remained unmoved.

With all his strength, he spurred his spiritual essence to meticulously refine the Yongquan point.

Each cycle of spiritual energy.

Thinned the wall of the Yongquan point slightly.

After countless hammerings and temperings.

The Yongquan point’s upper limit rose at a visibly discernible pace!

He did not know how long had passed.

The point’s wall had thinned to the delicacy of a cicada’s wing, glowing faintly translucent gold.

Though the wall was thin.

Its resilience had soared dramatically.

Until the refinement of the point reached its absolute limit.

Jiang Jian’s mind stirred, activating the ice-blue radiance.

As if granted by divine will.

In the unimaginable, he began hammering the Yongquan wall once more!

Above the lone island.

The spiritual vortex rotated slowly, roaring with thunder.

Rushing toward Jiang Jian with furious speed!

Boom!

Crack!

Finally.

After repeated cycles.

With a sharp, crisp crack.

All impurities in the wall shattered!

Only a brilliant golden point remained—thin, resilient, glowing with translucent clarity.

At every moment, streams of light fell upon it.

Suddenly.

Jiang Jian opened his eyes.

The spiritual energy around him trembled sharply!

He clearly sensed.

His Yongquan point had been refined to perfection.

Years of relentless cultivation, accumulating strength, now bore fruit.

At this moment, everything flowed naturally.

First realm, second realm.

Except for the rudimentary understanding of the two spiritual essences—“destruction” and “royal way”—

All other cultivation foundations had reached their limits!

This limit.

Was vastly different from the limit of ordinary beings!

Divine Gift realm 121%, Yongquan essence shattered its ceiling.

His cultivation in the first two realms.

Could not be matched by a single other being across the entire solar system!

“Next.”

“It is time to comprehend the Divine Illumination Wall.”

Jiang Jian rose to his feet, gazing upward at the vortex above, his expression calm.

He felt it clearly.

Once the Yongquan spiritual essence was fully saturated.

All he needed was to stir his spirit.

In an instant.

He could activate the Divine Illumination Wall!

The Divine Illumination Wall existed deep within the Divine Palace.

Only by shattering the barrier.

Could one enter the Divine Palace and step into the third realm.

Regarding the precautions for breaking into the third realm.

The Earth-Moon Academy held detailed, complete records.

Jiang Jian had read these records while facing the wall in the Face-the-Wall Hall, and memorized every key point.

At this moment.

He carefully recalled them once more, ensuring no detail was missed.

Only then did he settle his mind and calm his breath.

He adjusted his spiritual breath until it reached its optimal state.

He stirred his spirit.

In the blink of an eye, he activated the Divine Illumination Wall!

Boom!

Pain flared in Jiang Jian’s forehead; his vision blurred instantly, as if an immense force crushed down upon him!

A thick barrier suddenly appeared, covering the entrance to the Divine Palace, halting his spiritual essence from advancing a single step!

Even the spiritual essence of the Shenque and Yongquan points.

Were severely disrupted!

“Disperse!”

Jiang Jian’s gaze turned cold; he forcibly surged his spiritual essence through his meridians, expelling the lingering barrier energy.

At this moment.

Jiang Jian sensed.

The shape of the barrier resembled a wall.

Thick in the center, thin on the sides.

According to the Earth-Moon Academy’s records.

The point where the Divine Illumination Wall was shattered became the foundation of the Divine Palace.

If shattered at the barrier’s edge,

One could only form an ordinary Divine Palace.

If refined within the inner regions of the barrier, one could form a prodigy’s Divine Palace.

If shattered at the barrier’s center—the thickest point—

And broken through,

One could form an unparalleled Divine Palace!

The Divine Illumination Wall would not fully shatter.

When a being broke into the third realm,

They could only punch a hole through the barrier.

Allowing spiritual essence to seep through the hole into the Divine Palace.

To form an unparalleled Divine Palace, one must shatter the barrier at its thickest point!

Only then.

Would the being’s spiritual essence, passing through the Divine Illumination Wall, receive greater augmentation.

“My barrier.”

“Is far thicker than the Academy’s records indicate.”

Jiang Jian sensed the Divine Illumination Wall, his brow furrowing.

His Divine Illumination Barrier stretched before the Divine Palace, impossibly thick!

At its center, the thickest point, the difficulty of comprehension was utterly incalculable.

To break into the Divine Palace, there were two methods.

The first: use the profound foundation of the first two realms to forcibly flood through.

And melt a passage through the Divine Illumination Wall!

The second: rely on one’s own insight.

Day and night, contemplate the Divine Illumination Wall.

Day and night, he meditated on the Wall of Divine Illumination.

A living being’s fate shook the heavens, and in an instant, it attained sudden enlightenment.

The solid Divine Reflection barrier dissolved into holes in an instant.

Spiritual insight surged in, and the Divine Palace formed spontaneously.

“I seem to have overlooked something.”

Jiang Jian activated his spiritual essence, attempting to touch the Divine Reflection barrier.

Yet, he unconsciously furrowed his brow.

No matter how much spiritual essence he summoned, it all vanished like a stone dropped into the ocean—the Divine Reflection barrier stood silent and unmoved, showing not the slightest reaction!

“This is completely different from what the records describe.”

Realizing this, Jiang Jian’s brow tightened further.

By common logic.

One need only guide the spiritual qi stored in the two major acupoints toward the barrier’s weak point and permeate it.

Almost all living beings can naturally form a Divine Palace.

After all.

As long as the Yongquan spiritual essence is fully cultivated.

And there is no requirement for the level of attainment of the Divine Palace.

Under these conditions.

The difficulty of breaking through to the Divine Palace is not high.

For the vast majority in the Four Realms of Earth and Moon.

The hardest thing is actually fulfilling the prerequisite: cultivating the full spiritual essence.

“Infernal Flame.”

Jiang Jian’s expression hardened as he pushed his cultivation technique to its limit.

Divine Bestowal, Yongquan.

The spiritual essence of these two realms.

In a roar and tremor, they erupted entirely!

BOOM!

A dark black light stream, a brilliant golden light rainbow.

Brilliant and dazzling.

Both unleashed myriad rays of light.

Interwove through the depths of the meridians.

Rushed toward the Divine Reflection barrier!

As the light and shadow twisted.

The dark light stream shuddered, transforming into a jet-black phoenix.

Its wings beat, emitting a clear, ringing cry as it shot forward at full speed!

The golden light rainbow likewise shattered and reformed.

Taking the shape of a golden luminous figure.

Its crown trembled, its royal robe billowed.

Its expression cold, it extended an arm and pointed forward with a single finger!
