Chapter 337: Divine Soul Strength

Chu Feng, however, shook his head and said, "Master, although these Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones are very useful for Martial Cultivators, they can only elevate one’s physical realm. For future breakthroughs, the focus shifts more to a person’s Divine Soul—what we commonly call the soul."

"After reaching the absolute limit of the human Martial Arts Peak, if you want to break through again—say, to Late-stage Core Formation, the Peak of Core Formation, or even the Nascent Soul Realm—you’ll need to increase your Divine Soul Strength."

"As your realm advances to higher stages, like Golden Core and Nascent Soul, the requirements for Divine Soul strength become extremely high. Also, at those realms, every breakthrough will inevitably be accompanied by a calamity, what’s commonly known as a Celestial Tribulation."

"If you successfully overcome the Celestial Tribulation, then all is well. If not, death is certain."

"There are even Celestial Tribulations?" The Celestial Sword Sect Leader and Bai Han were both stunned.

They had never imagined that breaking through realms could trigger a Celestial Tribulation.

"To break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, you must undergo a tribulation. In fact, there are already some minor tribulations when you reach the Golden Core Realm. But successfully passing them is very difficult. Even hundreds of years ago, less than half of the people who faced them could survive," Chu Feng said.

"Then why doesn’t the Celestial Sword Sect have any records of this?" The Celestial Sword Sect Leader was completely bewildered; she had never heard of any of this.

After all, the Celestial Sword Sect had a legacy stretching back several thousand years.

"I’m not sure about that. Perhaps your ancestors hid this information. In any case, if you want to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, you’ll have to strengthen your Divine Soul Strength. Relying on your physical realm alone won’t be enough. Your current Divine Soul Strength is too weak," Chu Feng continued.

"Hm? Then how do you know our Divine Soul Strength is weak, Junior Brother Chu?" Bai Han asked curiously.

In fact, it wasn’t just her; the Celestial Sword Sect Leader was also very curious.

"Let me put it this way. With the Divine Soul Strength of you two—especially you, Senior Sister Bai Han—the most you can do is perform an internal Inspection. You can’t project your Divine Soul outward. And Master, you can probably only project it a few meters, right?" Chu Feng said with a smile.

Hearing this, the two women didn’t answer, but they didn’t refute it either, which meant they acknowledged what Chu Feng had said.

"Do you know what level my Divine Soul Strength has reached? And even at my level, I’m still a long way off," Chu Feng said.

"What level has it reached?" Both of them were very curious.

"A six-hundred-meter radius around me is within the range of my Divine Soul’s perception. I can clearly detect any disturbance, even the movement of a single ant," Chu Feng said.

"What? A six-hundred-meter range? How is that possible!" Hearing this, the Celestial Sword Sect Leader was completely stunned. She couldn’t believe it.

In that moment, she finally understood what Chu Feng meant by Divine Soul. In the terms of the Martial Arts Realm, this was Spiritual Sense perception!

Being able to use Spiritual Sense for perception was already very impressive, but someone as ridiculously skilled as Chu Feng was truly the first she had ever seen.

It was simply too outrageous. Even the Celestial Sword Sect Leader was completely outclassed when she compared herself to him; the difference was several hundredfold.

"Why would it be impossible? It’s true. If you were to fight within the range of my Divine Soul, I could find the flaws in all of your combat moves. It’s like watching everything in slow motion," Chu Feng explained to the two with a smile.

’With his level of Divine Soul Strength, fighting someone would be like an adult bullying a child.’

"Fuck, what’s the point of even fighting then?" the Celestial Sword Sect Leader blurted out.

This stunned Su Miaoke, who was standing to the side. ’The Celestial Sword Sect Leader is so old, several hundred years old, and she’s just cussing like that?’

"Hahaha, Master, calm down. It’s likely that the part of your sect’s inheritance concerning Divine Soul Cultivation was lost," Chu Feng said with a laugh.

"Then how did you cultivate your Divine Soul to this level?" the Celestial Sword Sect Leader asked.

"My inheritance is a bit different from yours. But I am looking for other methods of Divine Soul Cultivation, because my family members all need it," Chu Feng said.

"Junior Brother Chu, do you really not have one? Our master’s lifespan is almost at its end. If you had a method, perhaps there would still be a chance to save her," Bai Han said.

"Senior Sister Bai Han, if I had a method, I would have used it on my wife long ago. But as for Master’s problem, I’ll see if there are any other solutions," Chu Feng said.

"Hm? You have other methods?" The Celestial Sword Sect Leader’s interest was piqued, and she asked.

In truth, she had long since come to terms with her own life and death; she was just curious why Chu Feng knew so much.

"I do, but it’s a bit difficult," Chu Feng said with a helpless look on his face.

’Originally, his relationship with the Celestial Sword Sect Leader was purely transactional. But after their recent interactions, he felt that the Sect Leader was actually a good person, and it allowed him to experience a bit of the bond between a master and a disciple.’

"Hahaha, Bai Han, I was right, wasn’t I? Having your junior brother here this time is a blessing for our Celestial Sword Sect! If you weren’t the Young Master of the Chu Family, I would even want you to take over as the Celestial Sword Sect Leader in the future," the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said with a hearty laugh, clearly very happy.
