Chapter 1121: The Shock of the Ages

"The [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] is a mystical cultivation technique that converts mana into the pure, restorative properties of flowing water, refined through a different pathway within the twelve principal Tidal Nodes."

"In essence, its flow does not seek to maintain persistence or constancy of mana throughout, but emphasizes the harmony with heart and mind, life force and blood vitality, giving birth to the wondrous ability to purge toxins and heal wounds."

"Although its energy isn’t vast or sustaining, it is gentle yet surprisingly powerful."

"With great mastery of this divine art, a practitioner could even wash their Tidal Nodes, cleanse impurities, and improve their innate talents, allowing faster cultivation, easier breakthroughs, and fewer bottlenecks."

"Given such benefits, how can the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] still be inferior to other mana cultivation techniques?"

"Not convinced? Well then, let me put it this way: one disciple practices the [Divine Oceanheart Art] but is stuck at Peak-stage Divine Knight, while another disciple practices the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] and reaches Early-stage Divine Lord in the same period without any bottlenecks. Who do you think will win if they fought each other?"

"Naturally, the Divine Lord will win. Even with lacking offensive capabilities, the difference in a major realm isn’t something anyone can overcome with just superior offensive capabilities. Even if they could, they would still lose."

"Why? Because the wondrous effects of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] would ensure that its practitioner would not lose any combat effectiveness due to injury. They would be able to continue the fight in their peak state."

"On the other hand, their opponent would eventually succumb to their wounds and lose, even if they have a vast energy reservoir from practicing the [Divine Oceanheart Art]."

"Perhaps this difference isn’t quite noticeable in the early stages, but it will become clearer with each subsequent advancement in major realms, especially when Divine Aura becomes essential for Divine Emperors."

"For disciples with a wealthy background, I do recommend practicing the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art]," Vaan stated.

The [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] ensured its practitioner could remain perfectly healthy, recovering from any wound and purging any toxins or impurities. They would not need to expend resources for healing remedies and cures.

Moreover, they could even earn contribution points by nurturing magical plants with their Cleansing Spring mana.

With no issue in health, and weaker obstruction in wealth and talent, how could the practitioners of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] not outpace others in cultivation?

Even if they couldn’t triumph over others within the same level, they were able to advance much further in cultivation.

"Of course, the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] is ultimately a support-type cultivation technique with lacking offensive capabilities. Even with impressive supporting abilities, its lack of offense is undeniable."

"However, such a disadvantage was never a problem. It can be easily mended by picking the Body Refinement Path. The combination of these two would surely become a formidable force."

"Would you still be concerned about its lack of offensive capabilities by then?" Vaan asked rhetorically.

Although the Body Refinement Path was difficult to practice due to its dependence on heavenly resources and elixirs, such costs could be eased by the nurturing magical plant aspect of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art].

"Alright, I think I spoke enough about the benefits of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art]. Let us now delve deeper into its essence to draw out its true potential. For those who haven’t practiced this mana cultivation technique, you will still find this lecture insightful," Vaan stated.

Up until this point, while everyone was immersed in Vaan’s lecture, listening with a learning attitude, many were also dumbfounded by what he claimed, especially those who actually practiced the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art].

Was this still the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] that they knew?

My Lord, are you sure you didn’t get the name of the mana cultivation technique wrong?

How come they didn’t know the mana cultivation technique that they practiced was so impressive?

Sure, the Cleansing Spring mana they refined with the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] exhibited all of the effects Vaan had mentioned.

However, their potency was certainly a far cry from what he had claimed!

Although the disciples who practiced the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] had their doubts and suspicions, everything became clear after Vaan began explaining the intricacies of its concept and circulation pathways. ṙÀŊȯBÈS̈

Indeed, there were some differences in Vaan’s version of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art], but it was ultimately still the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] at its root.

Many disciples quickly realized it was a revised and improved version of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art], one without flaws, and could bring out the potential of the Cleansing Spring Mana.

All the disciples of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] immediately entered a state of enlightenment after a few rounds of mana circulation.

It only took a short moment before their aura underwent a qualitative transformation.

Everyone else around them felt a refreshing scent pervading the area. Those with hidden injuries even felt they were getting better at the mere whiff of that pleasant scent.

However, the greatest shock came to the merman disciple when he decided to pull out a magical plant and noticed it growing at a barely noticeable yet quicker rate.

Although it might seem impressive to others, this effect was just from basking in that scent!

How much quicker could magical plants grow if they had actually absorbed the Cleansing Spring Mana refined from this superior version of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art]?!

"Oh my god, is this still the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] that I know? How can its properties be so potent?!"

"Correction: It’s still the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art], but it’s not the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] that you know!"

"Shut up, smartass!"

"You...!"

...

Boom!

Just as a pair of Divine Lords were about to bicker, the mighty aura of a Divine Emperor suddenly surged nearby, causing their angry expressions to morph into greater shock.

Divine Emperor Breakthrough!

Many disciples in the marketplace were dumbfounded by the surging aura of the Divine Emperor. They didn’t expect to see someone who has practiced the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] to such a level.

After all, most practitioners of the [Divine Cleansing Spring Art] were mostly Divine Warriors. Few became Divine Knights, let alone Peak-stage Divine Knights!

Boom!

The Divine Emperor’s aura surged again.

This time, the breakthrough startled everyone. No one expected the newly ascended Divine Emperor to break through again, ascending to the middle stages.

Could the effects be so exaggerated? How much accumulation was needed for such consecutive breakthroughs?

Just when everyone thought the middle stage of the Divine Emperor rank was the limit, the person broke through once more, stepping into the late stages!

"Holy shit! Brother, are you trying to pierce the heavens in a single step!?" another Divine Emperor exclaimed, eyes widened with sheer disbelief.
