Chapter 664 - 653: Void Sacred Realm

He took out eight copper coins again.

The Divine Calculator tossed the copper coins onto a tortoise shell, murmuring incantations. Before long, his body trembled, his face turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. With a loud shout, he suddenly grabbed the copper coins, laid them flat in his palm, examined them closely, then looked at Ding Ling and said:

"Master, I have done my best."

"Speak."

"The source of this power lies in a person. However, this person’s cultivation is as vast as the heavens. I dare not continue calculating; if I do, I fear I might die immediately!"

"Oh?"

Ding Ling said thoughtfully:

"In that case, forget it."

In this world, aside from the Divine Calculator before him, Mud Bodhisattva was also exceptionally skilled in fortune-telling and fate reading.

But Ding Ling had never met the Mud Bodhisattva.

However, the Mud Bodhisattva’s fortune-telling skills were unrivaled in the world, frequently leaking celestial secrets, and thus he faced celestial punishment, which showed that the divination skill was only so-so.

Ding Ling directly asked the Divine Calculator for the divination skill.

The Divine Calculator didn’t dare to refuse and recited the heart method mantra.

The next second.

[Divination Skill Full Level]

[Charisma +0.1]

Once it reached full level.

Ding Ling’s mind was instantly filled with all kinds of mysterious information points.

Ding Ling calculated with his fingers and immediately deduced many events in this world.

But when he tried to calculate deeper.

It was as if he touched the "Inverted Scale" of the heavens.

It seemed heaven was clearly telling him that if he calculated further, he would surely face celestial punishment!

"..."

Ding Ling glanced at the Divine Calculator, seeing his face pale, clearly not yet recovered from the previous calculation, and immediately abandoned the thought of continuing.

Even though the divination skill might not leak celestial secrets, it would still encounter celestial punishment!

No wonder the Mud Bodhisattva was unwilling to engage in fortune-telling and fate reading anymore.

This divination skill was truly too much of a chicken rib!

"Master."

The Divine Calculator noticed Ding Ling possessed an inexplicable familiar aura and couldn’t help but be astonished:

"You learned the divination skill?"

"Having listened, it’s only natural that I learned it."

"...!!"

The Divine Calculator, recalling the legends about Ding Ling, was tongue-tied and didn’t think further, only saying:

’Since Master has learned this divination skill, you should understand. This divination skill is difficult to learn and master. Without reaching Great Perfection in cultivation, one would need to rely on tools. Once reaching Great Perfection, one could find results by mere finger calculation, but if one forces it, there will still be great terror and great backlash!’

Recalling Ding Ling’s finger calculations just now, the Divine Calculator’s eye twitched twice. He had been practicing the divination skill for decades and still hadn’t reached Great Perfection. And Ding Ling?

The gap is simply too vast!

In his heart, he was dejected, yet he couldn’t help but see Ding Ling as celestial, becoming increasingly respectful towards him.

[Obtained D-level Achievement Medal: You’ve won the Divine Calculator’s high recognition.]

[Note: Your talent impressed him! Left him in awe, and from now on, he will willingly serve as your subordinate!]

Hearing the notification sound,

Ding Ling wasn’t very surprised.

This Divine Calculator was quite cunning; gaining his recognition was not easy.

Now that Ding Ling had learned his proud divination skill in an instant, he had completely subdued him!

"Let’s keep moving forward."

With Ding Ling’s divination skill at Great Perfection, he could naturally deduce many profound things.

But he chose not to do so.

The celestial punishment is better left untouched!

Otherwise, it would probably stick around and be impossible to shake off!

After reaching full level in divination skill.

Ding Ling knew that celestial punishment was a mark left by the Heavenly Dao on a person, gradually implanting into one’s soul until it completely eroded them, turning them into a puppet of the Heavenly Dao!

Ding Ling was never willing to become such a puppet.

He glanced at the Divine Calculator, who was completely unaware. Needless to say, the Divine Calculator surely didn’t know this point, and since he was now Ding Ling’s subordinate and genuinely acknowledged him, Ding Ling told him about the residual effects of the divination skill.

The Divine Calculator was terrified, repeatedly wiping his sweat, vowing never to misuse the divination skill again.

It’s said nicely to be the divination skill.

But it’s a skill that curses oneself if used.

Ding Ling would be foolish to use it.

It’s fine to use it for ordinary affairs, but deeper connections are better left untouched to avoid celestial punishment!

Clip-clop!

The group passed through the Snake Dao and entered a cavern.

There were ten roads in all directions here.

Ding Ling had a map and chose the third west road.

Proceeding by following the map.

With many twists and turns.

After some time.

Ding Ling finally reached the Void Sacred Realm!

This Void Sacred Realm was hidden within the belly of the Heaven-Reaching Mountain. To reach here, one must pass through maze-like passageways and checkpoints.

Without a map,

It’s very difficult to find the way here!

However, upon reaching here, Ding Ling looked around and saw ice sculptures and blocks everywhere.

This mountain belly was a gigantic natural ice chamber.

Even rooms storing books, secret manuals, and great medicine were made of ice.

Ding Ling spotted a room a hundred meters away.

After verifying no traps with numerous tossed stones, Ding Ling leisurely and swiftly walked into one of the rooms.

The room had no door.

The scattered secret manuals and great medicine inside were visible at a glance.

Ding Ling picked up the great medicine and glanced at it.

Two to three hundred years old.

No poison.

With a gulp, the spiritual vitality within was rapidly refined.

"It’s edible."

Ding Ling nodded, noticing that there were dozens of boxes of great medicine here.

So, he began opening each box and munching away.

He ate quickly.

’Swallowed whole.’

But the refining speed was even quicker!

Basically, it was refined as soon as eaten.

As his strength kept growing, many divine skills reached full levels.

Ding Ling’s power became increasingly terrifying.

The ability to refine now amplified tenfold with the Divine Form Power, making the refining speed incredibly fast.

Each one was instantly refined!

Over five hundred plants of two to three hundred-year-old great medicine were consumed by Ding Ling.

Taking less than a quarter of an hour.

Whoosh!

Ding Ling exhaled.

Feeling very satisfied.

Because at this moment, the constant sense of emptiness within him finally vanished.

Previously having obtained the Demon Lord’s true inheritance,

The increase in body attribute points was significant.

Causing Ding Ling to always be in a state of hunger.

But different from before.

With the Great Perfection of the two Divine Forms of the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill, Ding Ling’s tolerance towards hunger had also reached an astonishing level!

Not only was his body refining complete, but his True Qi also broke into the Shattered Realm, enhancing Ding Ling’s ability to resist hunger to a certain degree!

Therefore,

He could increase so many attribute points at once without passing out, which would previously have been unbearable.

He then turned his attention to the secret manuals beside him.

The first one surprised him.

It was "Iron Refining Hand"!

This martial art was one of the top ten arduous and marvelous skills in the Wind and Cloud World! The difficulty of cultivating this skill could be imagined!

Ding Ling didn’t hesitate and began flipping through it quickly.

Soon after, a book took form in his library.

In an instant.

[Iron Refining Hand Full Level]

[Strength +0.5]

[Agility +0.5]

[Constitution +0.5]
