Chapter 436: Chapter 432: Star Tower Opens
The influence of the environment on people has long been a subject of contemplation for the sages.
The mouse theory, among others, offered Shen Han considerable inspiration.
Two mice born in completely different circumstances, one in a granary and the other in a wasteland, will have entirely different futures.
In the Divine Land, body refining and intent refining techniques lag behind the cultivation methods of Great Wei.
However, with the addition of Divine Soul techniques, cultivators with equal talents in the Divine Land can achieve greater growth heights than those in Great Wei.
If one considers Su Jinyu’s talent solely in Sword Dao, she would undoubtedly be exceptional.
Before meeting Shen Han, everyone in Great Wei would have claimed she was the foremost Sword Dao prodigy among the younger disciples of her generation.
While her talent in Sword Dao was outstanding, Su Jinyu was lacking in terms of strength improvements.
If she were to come to the Divine Land, she might be like a mouse falling into a granary.
In the Divine Land, the advancement of cultivation realms often relies on the aid of Pills.
The cultivation methods place far less emphasis on foundational strength compared to those in Great Wei.
Here, any deficiencies can be compensated with the Divine Soul.
And perhaps, it might even be superior.
A genius like Zheng Changnian from Cangxuan Valley, if born in Great Wei, would likely be far weaker in strength than he is now.
In all honesty, the reason talents like them can surpass Shen Ye is due to the robust Divine Soul cultivation methods of the Divine Land.
If Su Jinyu can cultivate an exceptional Divine Soul, she could easily surpass Shen Ye.
Being valued by the Celestial Sword Sect would then be only natural.
No matter what, he needs to find her and ask her.
To see how she came to this expanse of the Divine Land.
After resting for a night, the next day Shen Han went to the library of the Star Tower.
To understand and learn something, the first step is to study and read by oneself.
Rushing to ask others without any knowledge wastes their time.
If time allows, Shen Han’s priority is reading general knowledge.
From these books, one can understand the sect’s history and gain insights into the present from history.
The entire morning, Shen Han immersed himself in reading about the sect’s history in the library.
Through this, he learned the relationship between the Celestial Sword Sect and the Star Tower.
The first generation sect leader of the Star Tower was not just an ordinary disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect.
He was the son of the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader at that time…
Because he couldn’t adapt to the tense atmosphere of the Celestial Sword Sect, he ventured out to practice independently, though the Celestial Sword Sect continued to protect him.
Including later when the first-generation sect leader rose to prominence and established the Star Tower.
The Celestial Sword Sect provided significant assistance.
With this kind of relationship, the two sects have maintained a friendly bond through generations.
Friendly as they might be, there is still a hierarchy of contempt among the sect disciples.
The Celestial Sword Sect, being an Inner Domain sect, naturally holds its pride.
Every time they come to Star Tower for training, the disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect exhibit a haughty demeanor.
Even if they don’t say it, their expressions betray a disdain for the disciples of Star Tower.
Apart from the Celestial Sword Sect disciples coming for training, every three months, Star Tower can also send disciples to the Celestial Sword Sect for cultivation enhancement.
However, it seems most disciples are reluctant to go to the Celestial Sword Sect.
Firstly, the atmosphere isn’t pleasant, and secondly, the demeanor of the Celestial Sword Sect disciples makes one uncomfortable.
Having finished reading these general knowledge books, Shen Han left the library and went to consult with Senior Brother Zuo Mu.
He wanted to know if there was anything specific to pay attention to during the training at that high tower.
Upon hearing Shen Han’s inquiry, Zuo Mu candidly invited Shen Han to sit in his courtyard.
Since the sect is named after the Star Tower, naturally, that tower holds its mysteries.
With Zuo Mu’s explanation, Shen Han gained a slight understanding.
This so-called Star Tower is quite similar to his “Gen Mountain Secret Technique”.
It creates a realm of consciousness where disciples can undergo training and cultivation.
Compared to outdoor training, in this realm of consciousness, one can freely use various cultivation techniques.
There’s no fear of injury.
It’s all merely a matter of consciousness.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han’s interest somewhat waned.
With the “Gen Mountain Secret Technique”, he can enter the realm of consciousness anytime he wishes.
The Star Tower doesn’t hold much significance for him.
In the waiting days, Shen Han spent his time in the library.
The content he read mainly pertained to the Divine Soul.
In Cangxuan Valley, the books he could access were mostly very basic beginner books.
Regarding Divine Soul, he still needed a more systematic understanding.
Through the Star Tower’s books, Shen Han gained deeper insights into the entire practice of Divine Soul cultivation.
In Great Wei, a person’s strength is judged by the might of their techniques and the power of their intent.
But in the Divine Land, a person’s strength is manifested through their Divine Soul.
Like on that day in Cangxuan Valley, when the Mansion Master Xu Yuan of Feixia Mansion used his strength, his Divine Soul manifested alongside it.
Perhaps there are some who, in the Divine Land, rely solely on self-cultivation without the Divine Soul.
But they are exceedingly rare.
Continue reading further.
To destroy an enemy, the first step is to annihilate their Divine Soul.
The Divine Soul is repaired with Soul Power, but the recovery ability of each Divine Soul varies.
In a single strike, if the opponent’s Divine Soul is cleaved in two,
Even with Soul Power recovery, it cannot easily be mended.
During this Divine Soul recovery period, without the protection of a Divine Soul, the enemy is almost defenseless.
Unless they, like top talents such as Zheng Changnian, have a robust Divine Soul and excel in body refining as well.
Even Zheng Changnian, for now, can maintain both aspects.
But in the future, when the advancement of the Divine Soul alone demands a majority of effort, will he still have the capacity to sustain physical cultivation?
The Star Tower opening is set for tomorrow.
By 5:00 PM, several disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect had already arrived at the Star Tower sect grounds.
These disciples have their own circles and, even at the Star Tower, don’t much interact with others.
The reason they agreed to come was motivated by the mysterious capabilities of the Star Tower.
While Shen Han can enter the realm of consciousness to cultivate at any time, other disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect may only have such an opportunity once or twice a year.
At this moment, Hall Master Li Li had already prepared a feast in her courtyard.
Seeing a beautiful young woman with a ponytail arrive, Li Li approached with a smile.
“Let your aunt see, it’s been a while—have you grown?”
The mischievous smile prompted Jiang Ling’Er to quickly furrow her brows and dodge.
“Auntie, though you’re my aunt, you’re more playful than this junior…”
“How is this playfulness? This is me caring for my niece.
You’re old enough to start seeking a suitable gentleman.”
Li Li took Jiang Ling’Er by the hand, guiding her to sit down obediently.
Then, she began to examine Ling’Er’s condition.
“You’ve overexerted in your cultivation recently, showing signs of blood and qi depletion.
After the Star Tower training, stay and rest in my courtyard for a few days before you leave.”
