"True Master Xuan Cui, Brother Lu has a small request."
Lu Changsheng spoke up.
True Master Xuan Cui opened his eyes, his gaze landing on Lu Changsheng.
"Recently, I have accumulated some Heavenly Spirit Water. I am planning to refine it in hopes of transforming my Dao Fruit into a genuine Divine Skill."
"Perhaps the commotion might be somewhat significant. Therefore, I might have to trouble True Master Xuan Cui to set up a Concealing Array to mask it."
Lu Changsheng stated his purpose directly.
"Somewhat significant?"
"Could it be... truly a Great Divine Power?"
A hint of astonishment flashed in True Master Xuan Cui’s eyes.
A Great Divine Power!
In the entirety of the Holy Land, once one condenses a Great Divine Power, one becomes a major figure of undeniable influence.
For instance, in Heavenly Saint City—
should one successfully condense a Great Divine Power, ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
one would immediately enter the core circles of Heavenly Saint City.
Apart from the lofty Saint-level Patriarchs, the highest status belongs to Great Divine Power Users.
Lu Changsheng’s words only served to excite and kindle anticipation within True Master Xuan Cui.
If Lu Changsheng succeeded in transforming his Dao Fruit into a genuine Great Divine Power,
its impact on the entire Ancient Domain would be immeasurable.
"Rest assured, Brother Lu. Though this old man is no Array Master, I do have some insights into formations. Setting up a few concealing arrays is nothing challenging."
Seeing True Master Xuan Cui’s casual demeanor, Lu Changsheng shook his head, speaking with great solemnity, "True Master Xuan Cui, you must not take this lightly. I have a premonition that once the Dao Fruit transforms, the commotion may be far from ordinary."
True Master Xuan Cui grew even more certain:
Lu Changsheng was indeed aiming to transform a Great Divine Power!
"Brother Lu, even if the commotion is that of a Great Divine Power, I can absolutely obscure it. Proceed with your secluded cultivation without fear; leave everything to me!"
True Master Xuan Cui’s demeanor turned solemn, his tone firm and resolute.
Lu Changsheng nodded.
As long as True Master Xuan Cui would remain vigilant, that was enough.
With that, Lu Changsheng promptly stepped into the cultivation chamber.
Though the chamber was located some distance from True Master Xuan Cui, it was still within Hao Immortal Pavilion.
For a Golden Core True Master, such proximity was akin to being right under their nose; the specific room made no difference.
"A Concealing Array..."
True Master Xuan Cui murmured softly under his breath.
He had not spoken idly to Lu Changsheng.
Instead, he genuinely began preparing to set up a formation.
As a Golden Core True Master, True Master Xuan Cui’s proficiency in formations and artifact refining was far from shallow.
In fact, his mastery in these fields was exceptional.
His achievements ran extraordinarily deep.
True Master Xuan Cui began arranging the formations one by one,
encompassing the entirety of Hao Immortal Pavilion within their scope.
Moreover, a single layer of formations would not suffice.
There were not only Concealing Effects but also layers inducing illusions, isolating, and distorting functions.
In short, he had to ensure that the commotion from Lu Changsheng’s ascension to the Divine Power Realm would draw no attention from the outside world.
While True Master Xuan Cui tirelessly set up the concealing formations, Lu Changsheng walked into the cultivation chamber.
He sat cross-legged on the floor.
Lu Changsheng took out bottles, one after another, of Heavenly Spirit Water.
"Eighty-eight drops of Heavenly Spirit Water in total."
"I don’t know if it will be enough to transform my Spiritual Black Hole Dao Fruit into a genuine Divine Skill, but I can only hope all goes smoothly..."
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
Collecting so much Heavenly Spirit Water had already pushed him to his current limits.
If he had to accumulate more slowly, who knows how long it would take?
Moreover, in the Holy Land, without the strength of the Divine Power Realm, one could hardly carve out a niche for oneself.
Though he had momentary triumphs on the Battlefield as the King of the Fighting Arena, or victories at the Treasure Contests, decisively eliminating Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs and other Dao Foundation cultivators,
what did that amount to?
To true Divine Power cultivators, such achievements meant nothing.
In truth, what he had done was mere entertainment for others.
The Battlefield was a place for amusement.
The Treasure Contests were likewise entertainment.
For Dao Foundation martial artists within the Holy Land, their status was peculiarly awkward.
Neither particularly low,
nor part of the most elite and central echelons.
Thus, Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm was extremely necessary.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
And began to directly refine and utilize the Heavenly Spirit Water.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
This time, Lu Changsheng spared no resources.
With so much Heavenly Spirit Water, why hold back?
He refined it all in one go, leaving no drop unused.
Moreover, all of it was being used to refine the Spiritual Black Hole Dao Fruit.
Lu Changsheng was well aware that attempting to simultaneously transform all three Dao Fruits—
Spiritual Black Hole, Five Elements Decomposition, and Four Symbols Prison—
was utterly impractical in a single attempt.
For now, he decided to focus entirely on the transformation of the Spiritual Black Hole.
After all, compared to the Five Elements Decomposition and Four Symbols Prison,
the transformation of the Spiritual Black Hole seemed relatively easier.
As the Heavenly Spirit Water underwent refinement, Lu Changsheng could clearly sense the changes in his Spiritual Black Hole Dao Fruit.
If the Dao Fruit could be seen as something manifest yet intangible, existing in a half-real, half-illusory state,
then the Heavenly Spirit Water acted to accelerate its full concretization.
Above Lu Changsheng’s head, the Spiritual Black Hole Divine Technique faintly emerged.
With the refinement of the Heavenly Spirit Water, the Spiritual Black Hole Divine Technique had begun its gradual transformation.
Yet, the pace of transformation was exceedingly slow.
Ten drops, twenty drops, thirty drops, forty drops, fifty drops...
Lu Changsheng could feel the changes within the Dao Fruit.
However, even after refining fifty drops of Heavenly Spirit Water, there was still no sign of a complete transformation.
Nonetheless, Lu Changsheng remained entirely unperturbed.
He had ample patience.
