Late that night.
Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on his wooden bed, sensing a hazy numbness in his Sea of Consciousness.
The maple tree above the Clear Radiance Spirit Nurturing Art imprint had gradually begun to blur as well.
Before long, the fiery-red maple tree completely transformed into crimson streams of light and merged into his Sea of Consciousness.
The imprint seemed to flicker with light, blooming with a gentle white radiance. Within that radiance, the phantom of a tiny maple tree could faintly be seen.
There was finally a change in the imprint!
Zhou Ling's expression brightened, and the exhaustion from a night of cultivation was swept away in an instant.
After more than ten days, this was the first time Zhou Ling had sensed a change in the imprint within his Sea of Consciousness.
After visualization, he used his own Divine Sense to condense the phantom of a maple tree. This was also one stage of cultivation in a visualization method.
Though it was only an exceedingly tiny phantom, this small step showed that his Divine Sense already possessed some power, however insignificant it still was.
Yet trickling streams gathered into a river!
This was the first spring of water in his Sea of Consciousness.
Zhou Ling was thrilled. Although his Divine Sense could currently do nothing beyond perception and could not yet be projected outward,
being able to condense a maple tree phantom was still the result of more than ten days of bitter cultivation of the Clear Radiance Spirit Nurturing Art.
Feeling high-spirited, Zhou Ling had wanted to continue observing the imprint, but he recalled his master's warning. With his current Divine Sense cultivation, he could not greedily seek quick progress.
If he continued visualizing, the excessive consumption of Divine Sense would become dangerous.
