Before long, Li Bufan and He Wanxing returned to that space. The moment he arrived, he hurriedly found a corner and sat cross-legged, immersing his mind in the Heaven Rewards Diligence destiny.
[Heaven Rewards Diligence, Constant Stillness One Scripture Mastery (5354/)] Sure enough, the Constant Stillness One Scripture had gained another thousand-odd points of proficiency.
He carefully sensed his Spiritual Sense and found that it had indeed grown ever stronger. Spreading it outward in every direction, he soon discovered the furthest limit of its range: a full five hundred zhang!
It had nearly doubled compared to before!
Li Bufan was overjoyed. Sure enough, though the Tianxiang Cult's secret realm was perilous, if one could withstand that tide of desire, one's Spiritual Sense would undergo tremendous tempering.
This was true of the trial of lust, and true of the trial of gluttony. The seven deadly sins, seven kinds of desire—every confrontation was a hammering of the mind and spirit.
It was faster by who knew how many times than ordinary bitter cultivation.
Just as he was about to continue examining the changes within himself, He Wanxing's voice suddenly sounded by his ear. "Brother Li, are... are you all right?"
Li Bufan opened his eyes and looked at her. He Wanxing stood before him, her face still somewhat pale, her eyes red and swollen, her hair disheveled. Her clothes were covered in dirt and wood splinters, leaving her looking utterly bedraggled.
Li Bufan said flatly, "I'm fine. Let's continue clearing the trials."
This time, he did not hesitate in the slightest. On one hand, he had learned the secret of this realm—each successful trial was a tempering of the Spiritual Sense.
His Constant Stillness One Scripture was already more than halfway complete, with over four thousand proficiency points still needed before perfection.
