Chapter 1739: Divine Sense Surged! Uncle Xu, You Forgot?

The Frost Crown Divine Hall was silent.

Moon-white divine radiance draped the hall like gauze.

The air was filled with a faint icy chill and a barely-there fragrance.

Xu Jingming slowly opened his eyes.

In the depths of his pupils, a flash of golden Lei Guang flickered and vanished, then returned to profundity.

The first thing he felt was an unprecedented fullness and clarity in his sea of consciousness.

"Hmm?"

With a thought, he instinctively turned his gaze inward to his sea of consciousness.

He saw that the originally vast, star-sea-like ocean of divine sense had now expanded by another full circle.

The threads of divine sense were more solid and thick, their number clearly increased greatly.

"Has my divine sense grown stronger?"

Xu Jingming's heart stirred, and he immediately opened his system panel.

【Divine Sense】: 20137 threads

"My divine sense has increased by nearly four thousand threads! It directly broke through the twenty-thousand mark!"

His pupils contracted slightly, and his heart was shaken.

You must know,

After cultivating the Nine Revolutions Tempering Divine Method to the seventh level, increasing even a single thread of divine sense becomes extremely difficult.

This increase of nearly four thousand threads absolutely equals the painstaking cultivation of other immortals of the Longevity stage over tens of thousands of years!

"The Bewildering Dream Pearl was born precisely to temper divine sense."

Seeing Xu Jingming's doubt, the Xiyue Venerable beside him laughed and spoke to explain:

"You two joining forces to break open the dream realm is equivalent to undergoing an extreme tempering of divine sense.

Divine sense strength naturally increases considerably.

Especially you, Xu Jingming.

With your body at the seventh stage of Longevity, leading the breakthrough in the dream realm, you gained the greatest benefit."

She said this, her eyes flowing, looking at Xu Jingming with unreserved admiration:

"Your increase in divine sense this time.

Placed in the outside world, it should be enough to make those peak Longevity cultivators who specialize in divine sense turn green with envy."

On her face was no trace of unnaturalness, as if what had just happened had no effect on her.

"Thank you, my lord Xiyue, for dispelling my doubts." Xu Jingming hurriedly bowed.

"No need to thank me; this is an opportunity you earned yourselves."

The Xiyue Venerable waved her hand, her gaze turning toward Yeli on the other side.

At this moment, Yeli had also fully awakened.

She slowly rose from the state of being upheld by divine power, her posture still tall and graceful.

A black robe set off her skin like snow.

Only on her cold, absolutely beautiful face remained a faint, hardly noticeable flush.

After a slight sensation, she suddenly exclaimed in delight:

"Teacher.

I feel... I am about to break through to the Sovereign stage."

"What?!"

The Sovereign of the Frost Crown's ice-blue eyes suddenly lit up!

She took a step forward and instantly appeared before Yeli.

Raising her jade hand slightly, a thread of ice-blue divine power probed into Yeli's body.

After a moment, her face showed a look of delight:

"Indeed! Divine sense is perfected, comprehension of laws has reached the bottleneck.

Divine power accumulation is also sufficient... only the final step remains!"

The Frost Crown Sovereign withdrew her hand, not even bothering to notice the details of the scene just now.

On her exquisite face was full of relief:

"Misfortune turned to blessing, misfortune turned to blessing!

Yeli, you have been stuck at the peak of Longevity for five thousand years, always unable to find a breakthrough opportunity.

Who would have thought that this time, experiencing the Bewildering Dream Pearl's dream realm.

Instead, it tempered your divine sense to perfection, letting you touch the threshold of the Sovereign stage!"

She was truly happy for Yeli.

As the Supreme Sovereign, the lifespan of Frost Crown is already eternal.

Her former kin and friends have long since passed away in the river of time.

For Yeli, with whom she has interacted for tens of thousands of years, she has always regarded her as a daughter.

Now seeing Yeli finally have hope of breaking through, how could she not be happy?

"Frost Crown, congratulations."

The Xiyue Venerable also smiled and spoke, her voice clear and pleasant:

"Your sect is about to give birth to a second Sovereign-stage cultivator.

One sect, two Sovereigns—looking across the entire human territory, this is also a rare piece of good news."

"This time, we also have Junior Brother to thank."

Ye Li tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes looking toward Xu Jingming:

"If not for your wholehearted effort in the dream realm, I would not have had a breakthrough opportunity this quickly."

One wondered if it was Xu Jingming's misperception.

He always felt that when Senior Sister Ye Li mentioned the words 'wholehearted effort', there seemed to be a hint of gnashing of teeth.

"These are all things Junior Brother should do."

Xu Jingming's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said.

His face was calm, but his heart felt a bit weak.

He always felt Senior Sister's words had hidden meaning!

"Alright."

Lord Shuangmian spoke up promptly, interrupting this subtle atmosphere.

She looked at the two, her tone returning to its usual cold clarity, but her eyes held gentleness:

"You two go rest first.

First facing Lord Fentian head-on, then falling into the Dream Confusion Pearl's dream realm, the consumption of spirit and soul is not small.

Recuperate well for a few days, stabilize your cultivation.

If there is any news from the Yan Alliance Adjudication Court, I will notify you immediately."

"Yes, Teacher."

"Good."

Xu Jingming and Ye Li responded in unison.

The two looked at each other, then quickly averted their gazes, turning and walking toward the hall's exit.

After the two figures disappeared outside the divine hall's main gate.

Lord Shuangmian only then lightly sighed, looking at Venerable Xiyue:

"Venerable Xiyue, the subsequent Adjudication Court will have to trouble you, my lord."

"It cannot be called trouble."

Venerable Xiyue leaned lightly against the chair back.

Her jade feet swayed lightly, the silver bells at her ankles emitting a crisp sound.

But in those autumn-water-like charming eyes, a trace of cold light flashed:

"Whoever dares touch a person of my Eternal Star Alliance, no matter who he is, must pay the price."

Xu Jingming!

An Undying Seventh Stage under 50 years old!

His combat strength has even reached the level of crushing Invincible Undying Stage!

Anyone can be wronged, only he cannot!

Such an outstanding genius, whoever makes him unhappy, she will be desperate with whom!

"The Fentian Family this time, indeed must give an accounting."

Lord Shuangmian nodded slightly, a cold intent also flashing in her ice-blue eyes.

Outside the divine hall, on the plaza paved with white jade.

Xu Jingming and Ye Li walked side by side, the atmosphere a bit subtle.

Xu Jingming only felt like sitting on pins and needles.

No, it was like walking on thin ice!

Ye Li didn't speak, and he also didn't know how to open his mouth.

The silence between the two was even more tense than when facing Lord Fentian before.

Sweating profusely, it belonged to him.

"How did you think of it? That last one?"

At this time, Ye Li suddenly spoke.

"What?" Xu Jingming blanked for a moment.

"The one in front of the glass window."

Ye Li's steps paused slightly, she turned her head to look at him.

Xu Jingming: "......"

He felt his scalp go numb, and could only brace himself and say:

"Perhaps it's because I had similar experience before?"

Indeed.

Back when in the Blue Star Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall office.

He also held Su Qingli and came to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Below were also large numbers of reporters preparing for interviews.

Only at that time it was one-way glass, people outside couldn't see in.

"Oh."

Ye Li lightly acknowledged.

She withdrew her gaze, continued walking forward.

After a few breaths, she spoke again:

"Then what do you plan to do next?"

I'm planning to make a trip back to Blue Star.

Xu Jingming secretly let out a sigh of relief and spoke.

He has the Nightmare Candle God at the invincible immortal stage.

He also has the combat power of two ultimate immortal stages and one titled immortal stage.

All of these need to be sent back to Blue Star.

Moreover, he really hasn't gone back for several years.

It's a good chance to go back and see Ling Shuang and the others.

"I'll go with you." Ye Li suddenly said.

"Huh? You're going with me?" Xu Jingming widened his eyes.

"What? You don't welcome me?"

Ye Li raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her cold face.

Then she blinked her eyes.

Her voice suddenly became soft, carrying a hint of girlish playfulness:

"Uncle Xu.

You promised to take me to your hometown to have a look, didn't you forget?"

"Holy shit?!"

Xu Jingming's heart skipped a beat.

He felt that the person standing in front of him was not Senior Sister Ye Li.

But the little Ye Li from his second-life dream, who followed behind him.

First calling him "Uncle Xu" and then calling him "Brother Xu" little Ye Li!

PS: The previous chapter actually passed review, but I feel I'll get caught soon, so all I can say is cherish it while it lasts...
