Divine Sense Transformation

Nannan's voice grew lower and lower as she spoke, until at the end, it even carried a sob.

She lowered her head, as though she were trying to avoid something, and also as though she had done something wrong.

Lu Zhou rubbed her head and said gently with a smile.

"Nannan, don't worry. Brother Lu is a cultivator. I have a way to solve this problem. Nannan won't forget Brother Lu."

"Ah! Really?"

Nannan was overjoyed. Star-like glimmers shone in her tear-filled eyes.

"Of course it's true!"

As Lu Zhou spoke, a necklace appeared in his hand.

The necklace's cord was merely an ordinary gold thread, with a teardrop-shaped pendant of mutton-fat white jade, about the size of a date pit, hanging from it.

Lu Zhou placed the pendant around Nannan's neck.

He said to Nannan,

"This pendant can record everything that happens around you each day. Whenever you wake up, it will show you everything that happened around you the day before."

"Once Brother Lu's attainments in Dao patterns and cultivation become more profound, I'll be able to refine pendants that can record even longer periods of time for you."

"Then Nannan will never forget Brother Lu."

Lu Zhou had hastily refined this pendant while Nannan had gone to bathe earlier.

With his current cultivation, refining a pendant capable of recording some information was simply too easy.

Hearing Lu Zhou say this, Nannan was delighted. She treasured the pendant dearly, holding it carefully in her palms.

For the time that followed, Lu Zhou and Nannan stayed in Yan Emperor's palace. Someone attended to them every day, and Nannan truly became a little princess, doted on by everyone.

Listening to her innocent, carefree laughter every day, watching her tiny figure dart through the flowers and grass, chasing butterflies or playing with birds, Lu Zhou smiled as well.

He felt that this was what a child's childhood ought to be.

Lu Zhou was not merely staying in Yan Emperor's palace for free, either.

He had given cultivation guidance to the cultivators recruited by Yan Emperor, and had even rewarded them with the Xiyue Flowers and Purple Sun Grass he had obtained through check-ins at Xiyue Grotto-Heaven and Ziyang Grotto-Heaven.

As for Yan Emperor himself, Lu Zhou had personally helped regulate his body. Yan Emperor's empress and concubines all expressed that they were very sexually satisfied.

One after another, they seemed even more radiant than before!

This was clearly the result of being thoroughly nourished and watered.

Lu Zhou had not used his power to oppress anyone. Instead, he had brought them benefits.

Under such circumstances, they naturally respected Lu Zhou and Little Nannan even more, serving them with greater care.

Honestly, for Lu Zhou, these days were quite peaceful.

But he knew very well that without strength, so-called peace could only ever be temporary. It could not last.

Therefore, he had never relaxed his cultivation.

When he checked in at the Azure Emperor's Yin Tomb before, he had obtained a stalk of azure lotus.

He had planted that azure lotus in the Empress Sacred Spring, where it still maintained vigorous vitality.

The azure lotus had borne three lotus seeds in total. Lu Zhou had previously consumed one azure lotus seed, allowing him to break through from the Life Spring realm into the Other Shore realm.

After settling down in Yan Emperor's palace, he plucked another, crimson lotus seed from the azure lotus pod.

After swallowing the crimson lotus seed, Lu Zhou once again felt as if his entire body were being scorched by fire.

It gave him the same feeling as when he had tempered his body with Emperor Blood.

After spending ten days completely refining the crimson Azure Lotus Seed, Lu Zhou could clearly feel that his physique and strength had improved greatly compared to before.

This improvement was actually comparable to the effects of tempering his body with that drop of Emperor Blood.

If Lu Zhou had previously only dared to clash head-on with certain Life Spring artifacts,

then now, he was certain that he could catch some artifacts refined by Life Spring cultivators with his bare hands.

He had already proven this.

This did not mean that the crimson Azure Lotus Seed was comparable to Emperor Blood.

That was absolutely impossible.

The reason for this was simply that, compared to Emperor Blood, Lu Zhou had absorbed more of the crimson Azure Lotus Seed's medicinal efficacy.

The grade of Emperor Blood was too high, while Lu Zhou was still too weak to absorb it. He had wasted far too much of it.

Relatively speaking, the crimson Azure Lotus Seed suited him better.

Now that he had used two Azure Lotus Seeds—one to improve his cultivation and one to strengthen his physique and power—Lu Zhou looked forward even more to the third, golden Azure Lotus Seed.

Once he had recuperated and completely mastered the changes in his physique, Lu Zhou eagerly plucked the golden Azure Lotus Seed.

The instant he removed the golden Azure Lotus Seed, the stalk of azure lotus seemed to have fulfilled its purpose. It bloomed with azure, crimson, and golden radiance before withering in an instant.

In the end, beneath Lu Zhou's gaze, it transformed into a Lotus Seed and quietly sank to the bottom of the Empress Sacred Spring.

Lu Zhou raised his hand and drew the Lotus Seed into his palm.

He sensed it carefully and detected a dense vitality within it.

Lu Zhou's eyes immediately lit up, and he promptly tossed the Lotus Seed back into the Empress Sacred Spring to nurture it.

Sure enough, ten days later, the Lotus Seed began to sprout, just as Lu Zhou had expected.

Barring any accidents, it should be able to grow into another stalk of azure lotus and bear lotus seeds again.

Nor had Lu Zhou idled away those ten days.

He had already consumed the golden Azure Lotus Seed.

The instant he swallowed it, the golden Azure Lotus Seed transformed into streams of golden energy that surged toward his limbs, bones, organs, and entrails.

When he circulated the Dao Sutra and prepared to refine that golden energy, he discovered that it ultimately turned into wisps of thin golden mist. After circulating through his entire body, they gathered toward the space between his brows at tremendous speed.

Then, a scene that delighted Lu Zhou appeared.

His Divine Sense, which had already become mist-like, began to transform after coming into contact with that thin golden mist.

This process of transformation lasted a full three days.

Three days later, Lu Zhou's mist-like Divine Sense condensed from a gaseous state into a liquid state.

His Divine Sense had liquefied.

First came one drop, then two, then three.

In the end, more and more drops gathered together, forming a golden "little lake" of Divine Sense!

Seeing this, Lu Zhou thought of Ye Fan from the original work.

Ye Fan had once consumed the second type of Saint Fruit from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

That Saint Fruit could help cultivators temper and improve their Divine Sense.

After using a cauldron to suppress himself and consuming that Saint Fruit, Ye Fan's Divine Sense had greatly increased and transformed, eventually condensing a golden "little lake" of Divine Sense between his brows.

It was also at that time that he broke through into the Divine Bridge realm.

Lu Zhou still remembered that Ye Fan had relied on the strength of his Divine Sense to catch Yao Xi off guard, causing her to suffer badly. Not only had Ye Fan touched and seen every part of her body, he had even taken away her intimate undergarment.

Beyond that, throughout Ye Fan's path of growth, the strength of his Divine Sense had helped him conquer and suppress countless enemies, earning many great merits.

And the further cultivators advanced in their cultivation, the less useful ordinary resources became.

The further one went, the more one needed comprehension!

In this regard, a cultivator's Divine Sense would also play an exceptionally crucial role.

This only highlighted the importance of Divine Sense all the more.

At this moment, seeing that his Divine Sense had transformed even before Ye Fan's and that he had condensed a little lake of Divine Sense, Lu Zhou was instantly overjoyed. No—he was ecstatic.

He could not wait to carefully experience the various powers of his transformed Divine Sense!
