Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Spirit-Refining Transcendent; Divine Sense awakened	47	The red-quality Tiger Roar Soul-Refining Diagram consumes a Mountain Lord Soul and transforms Wu Yu’s soul. He gains detailed perception within ten meters, physical manipulation, and Mountain Lord Summoning.
Temporary enhancement: Nine-Infant’s Joy	314	The week-long blessing increases his Divine Sense range by 200 meters, alongside improvements to his physical fitness and spirit-power capacity.
Transformation Realm, sixth transformation	350	An unexpected hour-and-a-half period of contemplation brings a spiritual breakthrough and mastery of the Dusk Soul-Refining Method. His perception covers the villa and part of the garden, and he discovers Divine Sense Transmission.
Transformation Realm, seventh transformation	417	Accelerated cultivation in the Enlightenment Chamber raises the Dusk Soul-Refining Method to minor accomplishment. Both range and strength increase substantially; Wu Yu judges that lifting a small car would be easy.
Temporary amplification on Divine Island	508	His Divine Sense briefly more than doubles during his approach to the island’s center. Increasing supernatural pressure subsequently causes his perception to fade; this is not a permanent realm advancement.
Foundation Establishment	584 589	Following his breakthrough, his already-developed Divine Sense grows more than tenfold and can extend 10,000 meters or farther with a thought.

Nature and Acquisition

• Mental power versus Divine Sense: Qi Refining cultivators can project mental power outward. At Foundation Establishment, that power transforms into Divine Sense and becomes capable of directly affecting reality 47.
• Early awakening: Wu Yu obtains Divine Sense through Spirit Refinement before becoming a Foundation Establishment Adept. At its awakening, he possesses its basic functions but lacks the spiritual power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator 47.
• Spirit Refinement remains relevant: Developing Divine Sense early does not make its transcendent form equivalent to Foundation Establishment Divine Sense; Wu Yu’s later breakthrough produces a much greater increase 589.
• Not a reliable realm identifier: Witnesses repeatedly mistake Wu Yu for a True Person or Foundation Establishment Adept because he uses Divine Sense before reaching that realm 162 193 347.

Abilities & Skills

Extrasensory Perception

Divine Sense reveals nearby surroundings without requiring ordinary eyesight and can examine both physical and spiritual features 47 206.

• Fine detail: Wu Yu perceives dust, hidden insects, individual wingbeats, and his own organs, muscles, and blood 47.
• Fast-target tracking: He follows knights moving too quickly for the naked eye 152.
• Inspection through coverings: He detects bloodstained valuables beneath clothing and supernatural insects inside Liu Yu’s robes 113 611.
• Spiritual observation: From a soul perspective, he observes a faint, conceptual spirit root 206.
• Disguise detection: He identifies two apparent men as women and assesses their differing cultivation strengths 615.
• Remote surveillance: After Foundation Establishment, he overhears Long Tian’s conspiracy from an inn half a kilometer away 614.
• Eavesdropping through protection: His perception penetrates a group of Tower Climbers’ sound-blocking spell 613.

Physical Manipulation

Divine Sense turns mental force into an invisible influence on physical objects and bodies 47.

• Telekinesis: Wu Yu levitates and rotates a glass and sofa; the heavier sofa moves more slowly 47.
• Remote handling: He retrieves Cards and removes weapons from multiple armed survivors simultaneously 152 193 314.
• Restraint: He presses beggars against the ground, combining bodily immobilization with soul-level intimidation 71.
• Direct killing: He crushes insects, twists multiple victims’ necks at once, and later kills many transcendent Underground World monsters with a mere stir of Divine Sense 47 207 670.
• Martial compatibility: Wu Yu recognizes that its physical influence can strengthen Heaven-and-Earth Toss and Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers beyond their previous limits 47.

Soul Pressure and Defense

Divine Sense can intimidate, injure, or protect at the mental and spiritual level 71 206 235.

• Intimidation: Its pressure leaves the beggars instinctively terrified and initially unable to speak 71.
• Incapacitation: A surge knocks down several wealthy men, including a weak Transcendent who fails to resist with vitality 347.
• Resistance to divine voices: Wu Yu endures the competing Feeding Speeches of the Flesh Mountain God and Fasting God better than his companions. During his confrontation with the gods, he combines Divine Sense, vitality, and spirit power to withstand their voices 95 115.
• Cyber-plague defense: A thin layer of Divine Sense withstands hostile viral data shaped into weapons and supernatural attacks 206.
• Countering influence: His Foundation Establishment Divine Sense overwhelms Worshipper Zheng’s attempt to beguile him, leaving Zheng near death 616.

Divine Sense Transmission

Wu Yu can convey speech mentally, an ability theoretically associated with True Persons but unlocked early through his Spirit Refinement cultivation 350.

• He reassures his mother from upstairs without speaking to her face-to-face; she initially cannot identify the source of his voice 350.
• He later uses transmission to coordinate privately with Zhao Yulian in Frostsky Purgatory 601.

Mountain Lord Summoning

This unique divine ability gives Divine Sense physical form as the enormous white tiger from the Tiger Roar Mountain Forest Painting 47 58.

• The manifested Mountain Lord is a real transcendent creature rather than merely an image 47.
• Ordinary manifestation consumes little mental power; intense combat drains it heavily 47.
• The tiger responds to Wu Yu through an unseen connection and immediately submits to his displeasure 47.
• During the Twilight Festival battle, it cooperates with summoned soldiers to counter the Tower Climbers’ numerical advantage 235.

Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar

Wu Yu’s soul-refinement techniques apply Divine Sense to battlefield support, intimidation, and concentrated spiritual attacks 235 407.

• Dragon Roar strengthens allies and can amplify his Divine Sense enough to inspect concealed enemies 235 407.
• Tiger Roar shakes souls; a high-expenditure attack shatters an opponent’s Psionic Shield and knocks her unconscious 235.
• With the Heretic identity’s faith perception, Wu Yu can attack the power of faith directly using Tiger Roar and Dragon Cry 222 243.

Cultivation Assistance

Divine Sense lets Wu Yu monitor and guide internal cultivation processes with exceptional precision 52.

• He detects primordial unity qi and the otherwise elusive transcendent traces produced by One Qi Becomes Three Pure Ones 52.
• Combined with his Martial Dao-transformed body, this control dramatically accelerates his early qi-refining progress 52.
• It does not replace technical study: mental-power spell requirements still demand mathematical knowledge and correctly constructed spirit-power models 145.

Limits and Risks

• Finite force: Early Divine Sense cannot snap some mechanized necks or break certain Psionic Shields. Even after Foundation Establishment, a peak-Transcendent worm’s empowered skin blocks its force 207 670.
• Detection barriers: A concealed space beneath Mighty Martial Hall blocks probing. Divine power in the Earth Gods’ marketplace prevents both inspection and remote retrieval of goods 109 612.
• Specialized concealment: Anti-detection abilities and Tower-produced stealth equipment can evade it. Wu Yu supplements Divine Sense with the Twilight Witch’s Eye of True Seeing, his Profound Spirit Heavenly Eye, or Dragon Roar 395 407.
• Misleading surfaces: The Flesh Bodhisattva’s skin perfectly reproduces a person’s appearance and blocks internal probing until cut open; the barrier returns when the cut heals 437.
• Detectable probing: A powerful cultivator immediately notices Wu Yu inspecting him and gives a warning glance, teaching him not to probe others casually 134.
• Information overload: Taking in too many conversations at once makes Wu Yu feel as though his head will explode, forcing him to withdraw his perception 479.
• Soul injury: Combining Divine Sense Transmission with broad environmental manipulation during experimentation injures his soul. The Twilight Witch treats him, and he recovers by nightfall 350.
• Supernatural interference: At sea, disturbing distortions make Wu Yu suspect his perception is compromised. Divine Island’s pressure can suppress his senses despite an initial amplification 487 508.
• Toxic damage: An unnamed substance is described as severely damaging Divine Sense; even transcendent spirit-refinement practitioners can lose over 30%, with major reductions in probing ability, strength, and range 431.
• Incomplete mental protection: Strong Divine Sense does not prevent all divine influence. Wu Yu experiences abnormal emotional pressure in the City of Five Defilements and requires Cleansing Dust to remove it 611 614.
