Judging from the cultivation method's description, there was a distinction between "refining essence" and "refining the soul" within the Great Ruins.

Yet essence, qi, and spirit were generally inseparable.

Perhaps there was also a "qi-refining method," but Wu Yu had never encountered it.

"They're all the same. Whatever!"

After pondering briefly, Wu Yu picked up the Tiger Roar Soul-Refining Diagram.

He had obtained this item from a Golden Treasure Chest and had been thinking about it for a long time.

It was just that when he had obtained the [Mountain Lord Soul] before, he had been out in the wilderness, and Wu Yu had not dared use it recklessly.

With a light squeeze, a panel popped up from the card.

Tiger Roar Soul-Refining Diagram

Type: Cultivation Method.

Quality: Red.

Description: Myth descends, Divine Ability is born. Upon use, immediately knock open the Transcendent Gate and become a transcendent lifeform of the soul-refining path. The soul will transform, and an exclusive Divine Ability will be born.

"Prompt: Entering this cultivation method requires the material [Mountain Lord Soul]! [Yes]/[No]."

The red-quality Tiger Roar Soul-Refining Diagram had undergone a transformation. It had previously required him to refine his soul step by step, but now merely getting started would make him transcendent, far surpassing golden quality!

"The gap is enormous!"

Wu Yu was overjoyed.

Just as before, the panel did not make breakthroughs for him mindlessly, but gave him a choice.

Naturally, he did not hesitate. With a thought, the card immediately shattered and transformed into an illusory book.

At the same time, the [Mountain Lord Soul] in his inventory flew out. After it shattered, an illusory Mountain Lord paced out from within.

This Mountain Lord was lifelike. Every strand of fur and every expression was more imposing than the one he had seen before.

Bang!

Suddenly, the book burst apart, transforming into countless motes of light that surged into Wu Yu's head.

The illusory Mountain Lord immediately raised its head and roared, "Roar!"

In an instant, Wu Yu's mind shook. It was as though heavenly thunder had struck down in his mind, shattering some kind of shackle in a single blow.

The next moment, the Mountain Lord leaped toward him, turning into a streak of light that poured into his mind.

Wu Yu blanked out for a moment, and a [Tiger Roar Mountain Forest Painting] appeared in his mind. It depicted a Mountain Lord roaring amid the forests and mountains.

The streak of light merged into it, and the Mountain Lord within seemed to come alive, striding dominantly through the visualization painting.

The years rushed by, and time slipped away.

Who knew how many years passed,

as Wu Yu visualized the [Tiger Roar Mountain Forest Painting] day and night. His soul gradually transformed, reaching the limits of a mortal.

At last, a roar rang out, as though it came from the mythical age of antiquity.

Break through chaos, and let the soul ascend!

A moment later, Wu Yu came back to his senses. He felt as though heaven and earth had changed, and he had seen his true self.

"Only today do I know that I am myself!"

He murmured softly. The strength of his soul surpassed his physique. Transcendent and detached from the mundane, it drove a transformation in his very level of life.

He could clearly see his own soul, as well as the Bronze Tripod deep within it.

Within his mind, he could see illusory copper coins and an illusory tiger circling the [Tiger Roar Mountain Forest Painting].

He could see the five viscera of his body. His heart beat powerfully, his blood was condensed, and every inch of skin and every muscle was laid bare in perfect detail.

Without opening his eyes, he could clearly perceive everything within ten meters around him.

Dust drifted over the sofa.

Beneath the sofa, little bugs crawled and hid in the shadows.

By the window some distance away, flying insects sheltered from the rain, flapped into the room, and darted toward the lamp.

Every beat of their wings and every movement of their limbs was as clear as if played in slow motion.

"This feeling..."

"It's like being reborn."

Wu Yu was beside himself with excitement. Yet beneath the coverage of his divine sense, every tiny detail of the insects in the room was visible, making disgust rise within him instead.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of malice surfaced in his mind.

This was human instinct—the revulsion toward disgusting bugs.

But once one's level of life transformed and the soul ascended, spiritual power became sufficient to interfere with reality!

In an instant, the bugs beneath the sofa, the flying insects charging at the lamp...

All kinds of insects were crushed to pieces in that very moment!

"Hmm!?"

Wu Yu was startled and looked at his palm.

"No, this is divine sense!"

"Divine sense that only Foundation Establishment True Persons possess!"

After the Great Cataclysm, people excavated immortal cultivation lineages from ancient ruins, dividing immortal cultivators into the Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, and so on.

Everyone knew that Qi Refining Realm cultivators possessed spiritual power that they could project outward.

But upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, spiritual power would transform into divine sense. It could interfere with reality and wield all kinds of inconceivable powers.

With a thought, flowers bloom; with a thought, flowers fall.

Words become law; call the wind and summon the rain!

Words that he could once only read in books had actually become real, becoming power under Wu Yu's command!

"Is this right?"

Coming back to himself, he found it somewhat dreamlike.

Break open the Transcendent Gate and glimpse one's true self. The soul transforms, and divine sense is born!

"More than right!"

Wu Yu smiled, his gaze shifting.

On the table, a glass slowly floated into the air, accelerating faster and faster.

Whoosh—!

The glass whirled madly around Wu Yu like a drone.

After a moment, he set the glass down and looked toward the sofa beside him.

The sofa also slowly rose, making a turn in midair.

Its speed, however, was far inferior to that of the glass!

"It really is divine sense. It has all the basic abilities."

"It's just that compared to a Foundation Establishment True Person, I don't have spiritual power..."

"With this ability, the power of Heaven-and-Earth Toss and Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers will be even greater. I can break past my previous limits!"

After playing around for quite some time, Wu Yu gradually calmed down.

"Though the Tiger Roar Soul-Refining Diagram is only at the entry level, it can still begin the path of transcendence and give birth to an exclusive Divine Ability!"

"Where is my Divine Ability?"

As soon as the thought arose, the [Tiger Roar Mountain Forest Painting] in his mind responded. The Mountain Lord inside let out a roar, faintly seeming ready to descend into reality.

Somewhere in the unseen, Wu Yu seemed to have connected with the Mountain Lord and granted permission!

The next instant,

an enormous white Mountain Lord appeared in the room!

Its head alone was larger than Wu Yu's entire body. Its massive form could only curl up inside the room, unable to stretch out.

Every strand of fur on its body contained transcendent power, gleaming with brilliant flowing light.

Bang!

It crushed the sofa, table, and chairs beneath it. With a tilt of its head, it smashed the lamp.

Having descended into reality, the Mountain Lord immediately opened its mouth to roar in fury, proclaiming its arrival to this world.

But before it could roar aloud, anger rose within Wu Yu.

The Mountain Lord sensed it at once. It shrank its head back, and its imposing eyes immediately turned round and innocent as it looked at Wu Yu.

"Grrr—!"

The Mountain Lord let out a low sound and obediently closed its mouth.

"You!"

Wu Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry, though relief also rose in his heart.

If this big white cat had roared, the entire residential complex probably would not have known peace!

"So this is my exclusive Divine Ability—summoning a Mountain Lord?"

"Descending into reality... does it consume my spiritual power?"

Wu Yu sensed it carefully.

Soon, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

This exclusive Divine Ability could summon the big white tiger from the [Tiger Roar Mountain Forest Painting]. It was divine sense taking physical form.

Under normal circumstances, it consumed very little spiritual power. Only when it erupted into battle would the expenditure become severe.

"Divine sense interferes with reality, turning the mythical Mountain Lord into a real transcendent creature. It truly deserves the name Divine Ability."

Wu Yu murmured to himself and extended a hand.

The big white cat obediently lowered its head, allowing him to stroke its forehead...
