Chapter 925: The Sixth Level of the Divine Spirit Art! The Moon Rises Over the Thunder Sea!

~7 min read 1,305 words

Boom~~~

In the underground space, a powerful spiritual force swept out, enveloping the entire area.

"Is this… the Divine Spirit Art breaking through?"

As a ninth-rank Law Saint, Su Qingli immediately sensed what had happened, a look of astonishment flashing across her fair, delicate face.

An adept's spiritual force originates from the consciousness sea.

The consciousness sea is profoundly mysterious—even spiritual masters dare not claim they fully understand its nature.

Precisely because of this, the Divine Spirit Art, so intimately tied to the consciousness sea, is exceedingly critical and requires extreme caution.

Every time she broke through the Divine Spirit Art, she needed to prepare for several hours.

How could she possibly be like Xu Jingming, who just moments ago was flying through the sky and now began breaking through on the spot?

"This guy is truly a monster."

Even before, his strength was nearly on par with mine.

After this breakthrough in the Divine Spirit Art, his power likely already surpasses mine."

Shaking her head, Su Qingli abandoned the idea of resting.

Azure Qing Spirit Thunder surged forth, filling the entire underground space, guarding Xu Jingming…

The consciousness sea of an ordinary adept resembles a starry sky, with spiritual force appearing as countless bright stars scattered within.

But Xu Jingming, who cultivates the SSS-grade Divine Spirit Art "Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa," is different.

His consciousness sea is like a vast, boundless ocean.

And what flows within this ocean is not seawater, but torrents of thunder!

When the "Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa" reached its sixth level, a storm erupted above the entire thunder sea!

Boom—boom—boom~~

Thunder roared, wind and rain swirled.

The sea, composed of "thunder," surged upward, sweeping back and forth across the surface.

The entire ocean churned violently, yet the Soul-Pacifying Tower stood unmoved, towering firmly within this thunder sea.

Hum—

A soft sound arose from the sea's surface.

Immediately afterward, boundless spiritual force converged toward the very center of the consciousness sea.

A full moon slowly rose above this thunder sea!

With the appearance of this full moon, the previously turbulent ocean of spiritual force instantly calmed, becoming still and serene.

"Is this… the moon rising over the sea?"

As the master of this consciousness sea, Xu Jingming had watched everything within it from a god's-eye perspective.

When he saw the spherical orb of spiritual force rising from the sea's surface, his face lit up with joy.

The SSS-grade Body Refinement Art "Doushen Shenlei Xue Sha Shen" evolved from the S-grade "Lei Ting Bu Mie Shen."

Upon reaching a certain level, it grants additional enhancements such as Thunder Polar State and Thunder Storm State.

Similarly, this SSS-grade Divine Spirit Art "Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa" has analogous effects.

After reaching the sixth level, spiritual force forms a unique guardian spirit.

The guardian spirit can protect the consciousness sea and also be used for spiritual attacks.

Of course, there is also an extremely rare special case.

When the Divine Spirit Art breaks through to the sixth level, a guardian spirit does not immediately appear—instead, a full moon rises.

Within the moon, the guardian spirit is gestating; only after breaking through to the seventh level will the guardian spirit successfully form.

"The 'Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa' was created by Lei Shen himself, and even he directly birthed his guardian spirit at the sixth level."

He analyzed that the moon rising over the sea was merely a theoretical possibility, nearly impossible to achieve.

Something even the creator failed to accomplish—I've done it."

Xu Jingming was extremely satisfied.

System-produced, truly exceptional—this time the Deep Blue System gave him a pleasant surprise.

Splash—splash—splash~~

The evolution of the Divine Spirit Art had not yet ceased.

Continuous streams of spiritual force still flowed into the "full moon," strengthening its aura further.

Watching from his god's-eye perspective, Xu Jingming silently observed, feeling the entire consciousness sea continuously expanding and growing larger…

"The spiritual force's strength is still increasing?"

Outside,

Su Qingli, who had already waited over two minutes, still saw no sign of Xu Jingming's spiritual force stabilizing—on the contrary, it kept rising!

"This is what an SSS-grade Divine Spirit Art breakthrough looks like? Indeed different from S-grade."

After carefully sensing Xu Jingming's spiritual force, Su Qingli couldn't help but silently marvel.

Merely from this level of spiritual force, he was already showing signs of overtaking her.

And Xu Jingming was merely an eighth-rank lower-tier adept, yet he also cultivated an extremely profound body refinement art.

"An adept who cultivates both physical and spiritual arts, reaching this level—there are only a handful in existence."

The gifted Su Qingli had once cultivated body refinement arts herself, aiming for the dual path of physical and spiritual mastery.

At lower stages, it was manageable.

But once she entered the seventh-rank Master realm, she found the difficulty increased dramatically.

It was simply impossible to excel in both body refinement and Divine Spirit Art simultaneously.

So she eventually abandoned Body Strengthening Art, focusing solely on Spirit Refinement Art and taking the Elementalist path.

But she never expected her student to master both so perfectly.

"Jingming's Lei Hai Contemplation Method was previously at Fifth Layer; it should now have broken through to Sixth Layer."

"I'm about to break through to To Third Layer—this is the perfect chance to observe."

Thinking this, Su Qingli immediately gathered her mind and observed closely.

Several months ago, she had already abandoned her original SS-grade Spirit Refinement Art and switched to the SSS-grade Lei Hai Contemplation Method.

Of course, even after switching, her spiritual force strength remained sufficiently strong.

Practicing the Lei Hai Contemplation Method would allow her spiritual force upper limit to become even higher afterward.

As she carefully sensed with her spiritual force, Su Qingli also unconsciously fixed her gaze on Xu Jingming's face.

Although she had been Xu Jingming's teacher for over a year, this was the first time she observed him so closely.

She had to admit, Xu Jingming truly had an exceptional aura.

At nearly one meter ninety tall, even seated cross-legged, he radiated a sense of towering strength.

Sword-like brows, star-like eyes, his face handsome and rugged.

Combined with the unique aura granted by his Lightning-element SSS-grade ability, Doushen Shenlei, he appeared utterly distinctive.

For a moment, Su Qingli forgot to sense Xu Jingming's spiritual force.

She simply stared at him, as if admiring some exquisite work of art.

Minutes passed, Xu Jingming's spiritual force climbed to its peak and gradually stabilized—but she still didn't notice.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?"

Suddenly, a low voice sounded.

Xu Jingming opened his eyes and looked at Su Qingli in confusion.

Their gazes met, and Su Qingli suddenly snapped back to awareness.

She, usually cold and composed, revealed rare signs of fluster and hurriedly said:

"Nothing. I was just sensing your spiritual force flow—it helps me study Spirit Refinement Art."

"I see. Then, Teacher, how many Layers has your Spirit Refinement Art reached?"

After slightly sensing his own surging spiritual force, Xu Jingming smiled in satisfaction and asked.

"Second Layer. I'm about to break through to To Third Layer."

Seeing Xu Jingming hadn't noticed anything unusual, Su Qingli exhaled in relief and replied.

"Then it should be soon. Once you reach Sixth Layer, I'll teach you when I have time."

Xu Jingming nodded. "Teacher, please guard me again—I want to observe how my spiritual force changes after this breakthrough."

"Alright."

Seeing Xu Jingming close his eyes again, Su Qingli finally relaxed completely, secretly relieved.

He hadn't yet noticed what she had just done.

Otherwise, he might think his teacher was some kind of creep who stared at people.

At the same time, she finally understood why Sister Shuang had fallen.

After all, even she had been distracted—how much more so would Hearing Ling Shuang, who had spent long periods with Xu Jingming in Dayangzhou?
