Chapter 129 – The Limit of Divine Sense, A Human Race Poised to Rise! (First Update)

Chapter 128 – The Limit of Divine Sense, A Human Race Poised to Rise! (First Update)

Su Xing felt a surge of joy upon seeing this.

As expected, Spirit rice had an outstanding effect on low-rank Class Users’ advancement!

After all, ordinary Bronze-stage Class Users didn’t possess particularly high strength or speed. Their physical capabilities were likely only about ten times that of a normal person.

But prolonged consumption of Spirit rice could cause these people’s strength to skyrocket by several hundred or even over a thousand jin…

That alone would be more than enough for them to complete their advancement tasks and successfully promote to Silver-stage!

“The boost Spirit rice gives to Bronze-stage is within expectations. The question is how effective it is for Silver-stage…”

Su Xing continued reading.

【A total of 350,000 Silver-stage Class Users consumed Spirit rice. Of those, 150,000 broke through within three months and advanced to Gold-stage. Within six months, another 50,000 successively broke through to Gold-stage, for a total of 200,000 people successfully advancing to Gold-stage!】

【The overall breakthrough success rate reached a staggering fifty-seven percent!】

【A total of 50,000 Gold-stage Class Users consumed Spirit rice. Of those, 10,000 broke through to Master-stage within three months, and another 10,000 successively broke through within six months…】

【The overall breakthrough success rate was forty percent!】

Su Xing grew somewhat excited upon seeing this.

The boost Spirit rice provided to Silver-stage Class Users was just over half—roughly in line with Su Xing’s expectations.

What he hadn’t anticipated was that Spirit rice’s effect on Gold-stage Class Users was equally enormous, actually enabling nearly forty percent of them to break through!

“And this is only the data from six months… If consumed long-term over one or two years, the advancement rate would probably be even higher!”

Su Xing clenched his fists tightly. Through experiments with massive sample sizes, he had finally confirmed that Spirit rice was absolutely effective for low-rank Class Users!

As for those above Master-stage…

Su Xing shook his head slightly. Master-stage and even Grandmaster-stage practitioners were already considered the backbone of the human race’s fighting force. These Class Users possessed formidable strength.

Strength-type Class Users with power of ten thousand jin or even tens of thousands of jin were not uncommon… As for magic-type Class Users, the spells they unleashed were far more powerful than TNT.

For mid-tier forces, Spirit rice’s effects were already negligible.

At that point, Su Xing would need to produce more pills to help them advance.

But it was foreseeable that if Spirit rice were truly promoted nationwide—

Within the next ten to twenty years, the number of Silver-stage and Gold-stage Class Users across the country would absolutely double, or even multiply several times over!

A larger base of Class Users also meant more Grandmaster-stage and Heavenly King-stage practitioners would emerge!

The boost to the human race’s overall strength would be absolutely terrifying!

“If this timeline were extended to a century… by then, the human race’s overall strength would probably be more than ten times what it is now…”

Su Xing let out a soft sigh. Unfortunately, the foreign races would descend in just over twenty years, and the human race simply didn’t have that much time to develop.

Still, even so, a two- to three-fold increase in overall strength within twenty years was still enormous!

“It seems the Spirit rice plan is indeed feasible to implement… but the risks are also significant. Perhaps I need to plan this carefully…”

Su Xing murmured, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.

【After collecting the sample data, you were greatly encouraged, believing Spirit rice held tremendous potential. Perhaps the human race’s strength wouldn’t see dramatic improvement in the short term, but viewed with a long-term perspective, the enhancement would be absolutely explosive!】

【And so in the days that followed, you divided your time between cultivating and growing Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass on one hand, and studying the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique on the other, hoping to find better methods for planting Spirit rice.】

【Every so often, you would travel to the Arctic Domain to tend to the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng you had planted.】

【Fortunately, the growing environment of the Arctic Domain was an excellent match for the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng. Combined with abundant spiritual energy, the ginseng was growing splendidly.】

【Year Nine. You continued tending to the Spirit grain in the Blessed Spirit Field each day, hoping to find methods within the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique to increase Spirit rice yields.】

【At the same time, you set aside a portion of each day for cultivation. By consuming Demon King and Demon Emperor-level blood and flesh essence daily, your cultivation advanced further!】

【Year Ten. You retrieved various rare treasures and medicinal materials from Great Xia’s vault and refined them into pills, distributing them to the Great Xia Military. The military gained another batch of experts at Grandmaster-stage and above.】

【That same year, you refined the Condensing Wood from the vault into Mind-Condensing Pills and attempted to further strengthen your divine sense.】

【Year Eleven. After a full year of consuming pills, your divine sense grew to nine hundred and thirty zhang. You sensed that your divine sense still had room for growth, so you devoted even more effort to cultivating it.】

Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured:

“That’s right. Cultivating divine sense is also extremely important. If my divine sense hadn’t been powerful back then, I probably would have fallen unconscious under Old Dog Zong’s dark energy attack…”

“A Nascent Soul stage cultivator’s divine sense reaches five hundred zhang at most. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators only have two to three hundred zhang… But my divine sense, thanks to consuming Mind-Condensing Pills, is incomparably stronger than a typical Nascent Soul cultivator’s—it can even rival Spirit Transformation…”

“Before breaking through to Spirit Transformation, I should raise my divine sense as much as possible. That way, after achieving Deity Transformation, if I can find a divine sense cultivation technique, my divine sense might surge explosively…”

Su Xing was no longer the clueless newcomer he’d been when he first entered the cultivation world. Through various channels, he had come to understand the importance of the primordial spirit.

The way of cultivators: externally refine pills, internally cultivate the primordial spirit. Such was the principle.

With this thought, Su Xing looked toward the simulation panel.

【Year Twelve. Your divine sense continued to grow, its range reaching nine hundred and fifty zhang. However, you were still in the Five Senses Realm, and your understanding of divine sense classifications remained limited.】

【Year Thirteen. This year, you began tracking the children who had consumed Spirit rice before the age of eighteen. Five years had passed since then, and you wanted to know how strong they had become.】

【To your surprise, among those 100,000 children, even the weakest were now approaching the peak of Silver-stage. Of them, 60,000 had broken through to Gold-stage, over a thousand had reached Master-stage, and several dozen with extraordinary talent had already achieved Grandmaster-stage!】

Su Xing was somewhat astonished. He hadn’t expected Spirit rice to be so effective on unawakened children.

After all, Capital City Academy only produced about a dozen Grandmaster-stage experts and a few hundred Master-stage graduates per year among its senior students…

And every student admitted to Capital City Academy was a one-in-ten-thousand, or even one-in-a-hundred-thousand genius!

Yet Su Xing’s experiment, which had only selected moderately talented children, had produced results after just five years that surpassed even the graduates of Jiangnan Vocational Academy!

“Hiss… The Spirit rice plan must be implemented as soon as possible!”

Su Xing drew a deep breath. Spirit rice’s value lay not only in enhancing Class Users’ physical capabilities—it could even awaken the latent potential of unawakened children. Its applications were simply too significant!

After pondering for a moment, Su Xing turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.

【Having fully understood Spirit rice’s potential, you stopped personally managing its promotion and instead focused your efforts on increasing Spirit rice yields and improving your own cultivation.】

【Because you knew that promoting Spirit rice was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Moreover, you didn’t have enough Spirit-Gathering Flowers or Spirit stones.】

【Year Fourteen. Somewhat to your surprise, after years of daily consumption of Demon Emperor Blood Essence, your body was brimming with vitality. Despite minimal cultivation practice, your Body Tempering cultivation still broke through to the Divine Power Realm, Second Layer!】

【The Divine Power Realm was comparable to Spirit Transformation. Normally, breaking through would require decades of arduous cultivation. But your talent was extraordinary—even with slightly relaxed training, the abundant blood essence alone was enough to fuel your breakthrough!】

【Year Fifteen. You made a trip to the Arctic Domain to check on the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng. It was growing splendidly. By your estimate, it would need perhaps another thirty years to fully mature.】

【That same year, your divine sense range increased to nine hundred and fifty zhang. As your divine sense grew broader, you felt yourself hitting a bottleneck, making further breakthroughs increasingly difficult.】

【Fortunately, you still had a considerable supply of Mind-Condensing Pills. You believed you could push your divine sense range a bit further!】

【Year Sixteen. Your divine sense continued its steady growth. Though it increased by only a few zhang each year, you were still quite satisfied.】

【You tested the Spirit rice planting methods you had devised over the years one by one, only to discover that due to the real world’s limitations in spiritual energy and soil quality, Spirit rice yields stubbornly refused to increase.】

【So you turned your attention to the Earth Dragon Art. The Spirit Earthworm you had been raising had grown to the size of a python after more than a decade, spending its days enriching the soil of the Blessed Spirit Field. This made your spiritual plants grow faster and even saved you considerable time on farming and tilling.】

【You tried placing the Spirit Earthworm in the soil of the real world, hoping to use the Earth Dragon Art to improve the real world’s soil quality.】

【Year Seventeen. Thanks to the Spirit Earthworm’s diligent work, the real world’s soil quality improved dramatically, already beginning its transformation from ordinary soil into Spirit field.】

【What excited you even more was the growth of the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass—the tip of its third phoenix tail had begun to emerge. At this rate, it would fully mature within just a few more years.】

【Year Eighteen. The situation at the human race’s Demon-Sealing Pass remained unchanged. Though they were being pressured by the foreign races, they could still hold the line. You knew time was precious, so you threw yourself even harder into development.】

【That same year, your divine sense range grew to nine hundred and seventy zhang!】

【Year Nineteen. Because you had been consuming increasing amounts of Demon Emperor Blood Essence daily, your body surged with vitality. On a calm, sunny morning, you smoothly broke through to the Divine Power Realm, Third Layer!】

【Year Twenty. Your divine sense range grew to nine hundred and ninety zhang!】

【Year Twenty-One. You traveled to the Arctic Domain once more to check on the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng. It was growing beautifully—perhaps it wouldn’t be long before it matured!】

【That same year, your divine sense range grew by another three zhang, reaching nine hundred and ninety-three zhang. You had a premonition that one thousand zhang of divine sense would be your limit. To break through further, you would need to reach the Spirit Transformation stage.】

【Year Twenty-Two. Your divine sense grew by another three zhang. The thousand-zhang mark was no longer far away.】

【Year Twenty-Three. The situation at Demon-Sealing Pass grew increasingly dire. The human race’s annual death toll continued to climb. You knew in your heart that the moment hundreds of legendary giant beasts descended would be the day Demon-Sealing Pass fell.】

【That same year, the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass finally matured, and your divine sense reached nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang.】
