Divine Sense

Biodata

Power Progression

Nature

Divine Sense is an extension of a cultivator's consciousness. It enables observation beyond ordinary sight, conveys the five senses, and serves as the basis for sensing spiritual power, communicating with spiritual beings, and operating many spells and divine abilities. 191

Li Ye's Divine Sense is repeatedly noted as unusual. It supports his communication with spirit plants and beasts, withstands demanding inherited arts, and develops through cultivation, spiritual nourishment, and comprehension of divine abilities. 58 79 83

Abilities & Applications

Spiritual Perception

Divine Sense allows Li Ye to perceive spiritual phenomena, nearby activity, and changes in the environment that ordinary senses cannot detect.

• It accompanies the Earth Sentiment Technique through the soil, allowing Li Ye to sincerely seek a response from the land's spirituality. 68
• Li Ye can detect chaotic or abnormal spirituality in spirit lands and investigate its source. 120 130
• It allows him to notice spiritual-power disorder even in environments that would normally accommodate his body. 130
• Certain concealment techniques and materials can evade it, including the Thousand Illusion Drunken Mushroom and an opaque object that even a Golden Core True Person cannot penetrate directly. 195 229

Communication and Shared Perception

Divine Sense is central to Li Ye's ability to communicate with spirit beasts, spirit plants, cultivators, and the spirituality of heaven and earth.

• Bean Soldiering is imparted directly into his Divine Sense and teaches both bean cultivation and contracts with bean spirits. 46
• Heartfelt Melody can connect Li Ye's perception with another's, allowing mutual understanding and the detection of otherwise imperceptible spirituality. 161
• At Golden Core, Heartfelt Melody can communicate emotions between heaven and earth and transmit Li Ye's spiritual power or divine abilities to other cultivators. 178
• Snowy Phoenix-tailed Ducks communicate directly through Li Ye's Divine Sense despite their simple verbal expressions. 260

Divine Sense Manifestation

Li Ye can condense Divine Sense into tangible or quasi-tangible forms through specialized arts.

• Dawnlight Seed-Soothing Art condenses Divine Sense into a luminous white bell whose chimes soothe and coordinate spirit plants. 58
• The Life-Breath Spirit Transformation Scroll establishes an ink-wash locust tree within his Divine Sense, preserving and stabilizing a trace of spirituality. 43
• Li Ye can saturate clouds with Divine Sense, split off portions, and direct them anywhere within his perceptive range. 117
• The Micro-Stream River Deity's enlightenment enables Divine Sense to become crystalline threads, which Li Ye can brand with acquired divine abilities. 191

Barriers and Spirit Domains

Divine Sense can be used to create concealment, protection, and environments that influence reality.

• Li Ye can merge with clouds so completely that other cultivators scanning with Divine Sense cannot detect him. 117
• Snowy Phoenix-tailed Ducks combine their Divine Sense into a Great Cold spirit domain, producing wind, snow, and cold that are indistinguishable from real phenomena. 261
• Li Ye joins the ducks' spirit domain and recognizes their method of using Divine Sense to conceal themselves within a self-contained barrier. 261
• Using the ducks' Divine Sense and engraved spirit patterns, Li Ye creates a courtyard formation that is severed from the outside world and therefore cannot be eroded by White Demonic Energy. 266

Spirit Observation

The Spirit Observation Marvelous Secret combines Divine Sense with mana to inspect the essence of spirit beasts and plants.

• It reveals innate divine abilities and the spirit patterns underlying them. 266
• Li Ye uses it to observe the Snowy Phoenix-tailed Ducks' exceptionally complex spirit patterns. 266
• He engraves those patterns into a pine tree using the ducks' Divine Sense as ink, turning the tree into the foundation of a stable sanctuary formation. 266
• The technique normally requires at least middle Golden Core cultivation; Li Ye compensates with unsealed power, the Earth Book, and his symbiotic connection to the ducks and pine tree. 266

Limitations

• The sealed powers of the Love-Sickness Life-Death Bean cannot be fully unsealed until Li Ye's cultivation and Divine Sense cultivation reach the necessary level. 46
• Dawnlight Seed-Soothing Art places exceptionally high demands on Divine Sense because it must soothe and coordinate the relationship between a spirit plant and its owner. 58
• Li Ye initially fails to sustain even the first-stage Heart Melody for long, identifying insufficient Divine Sense and mental cultivation as the cause. 99
• Jianmu's high-speed movement divine ability consumes a large amount of Li Ye's Divine Sense and mana, leaving injuries and near-total mana depletion after a single extreme traversal. 132
• Chaos Mist obstructs Li Ye's outward Divine Sense, leaving him unable to extend it beyond himself while traveling through Chaos. 276
• The Hell Dao territory can directly affect Li Ye's Divine Sense. 311

Notable Uses

• Li Ye relies on powerful Divine Sense control to draw the talismanic patterns required for the Lotus Lamp. 90
• He uses Divine Sense to maintain a connection with Voidsky Grass when a barrier blocks ordinary spiritual perception. 195
• He uses Earth Wish Art together with Divine Sense to encircle and monitor a section of seabed surrounding a Golden Sea-Floating Stone. 196
• His Divine Sense is sufficiently refined to perceive a trace of the Human Script Conferment's principle: Bitter Journey Academy uses its accumulated luck and merit to have heaven and earth recognize Spirit Materials as human. 229
• The Divine Sense of the Snowy Phoenix-tailed Ducks, when gathered into a crystal sphere, reaches at least late-Golden-Core strength; Li Ye borrows it to construct his sanctuary. 266
