After the three returned to the cave abode in the Wuji Heavenly Palace, both Lin Yun and An Yun began secluded cultivation.
Inside the seclusion chamber.
“My realm is now stuck at the Harmony Realm and can no longer advance in terms of boundary. The only option is to improve other aspects as much as possible,” Lin Yun murmured to himself.
All cultivators participating in the Pinnacle Competition were at the Harmony Realm.
When boundaries were the same, what mattered was foundation. It came down to the contestants’ abilities in every aspect.
Therefore, Lin Yun needed to enhance other areas to the fullest extent.
In terms of swordsmanship, further improvement was already difficult. Lin Yun’s main focus next would still be on raising his physical body realm once more.
“Right, there are the items Zi Tong gave me. Divine sense should also be able to improve further,” Lin Yun thought, his eyes lighting up.
He then took out the storage ring Zi Tong had given him, curious to see what was inside.
“Hmm? This is a divine sense cultivation method?”
Lin Yun first noticed a manual and took it out.
The manual was titled “Star God Canon”. It was a method for cultivating divine sense, essentially teaching how to train and elevate divine sense.
It was similar to how Lin Yun had previously used sculptures to improve his divine sense. That could also be seen as a type of divine sense cultivation method, or technique.
However, at Lin Yun’s current divine sense level, relying on the sculpture method made further progress extremely difficult.
No grade was marked on the Star God Canon, but Lin Yun believed that since Zi Tong had specially placed it inside, its quality could not be poor.
Such divine sense cultivation methods were very hard to obtain among the human race. Even if available, they were of very low grade.
The elf clan specialised in divine sense cultivation. In this field, they had undoubtedly researched it deeply and mastered it thoroughly.
Lin Yun did not rush to study it. Instead, he continued examining the contents of the storage ring.
What caught his eye next was a fiery red lingzhi mushroom.
Zi Tong was very thoughtful. Perhaps fearing Lin Yun might not recognise it, she had left a note attached to the fiery red lingzhi.
Lin Yun removed the note. The item was called “Wen Shen Zhi”. It was a precious heavenly treasure that aided divine sense cultivation, extremely rare and valuable. It could be used directly. If paired with cultivating the Star God Canon, the effect would be even better.
Additionally, in the storage ring was a flawless white jade pendant, also with a note attached.
It was Cold Ice Jade. Wearing it while cultivating divine sense would yield better results.
These were the only three items in the storage ring. Lin Yun was well aware that although there were few, each one was absolutely priceless.
What Lin Yun needed did not require quantity. Having items that were sufficiently refined and of high enough quality was most important. Quality mattered, not quantity.
“Let me examine this Star God Canon first.”
Lin Yun took the Star God Canon in hand and opened it.
What appeared before him was a star chart.
Though the chart was only about the size of three palms, it contained billions upon billions of points, connected by countless lines of light, forming a complete star map.
The star chart was exceedingly complex. One had to use divine sense and observe carefully to discern each individual point, let alone the intricate connections.
Below the star chart were textual annotations.
The Star God Canon was a divine sense method passed down through generations in the elf royal clan. This was the upper volume.
The lower volume of the Star God Canon was strictly guarded by the elf royal clan and not shared outside. Only core powerhouses of the elf clan, with the clan leader’s permission, could obtain it.
As for the cultivation method for this star chart, it was also explained in text. By constructing and visualising this star chart within one’s sea of consciousness, one could cultivate and improve divine sense.
“It is actually a divine sense method from the elf royal clan. I never expected Zi Tong to give me something like this,” Lin Yun thought, deeply surprised.
Back then, Zi Tong had said she placed both purchased items and some of her own in the storage ring. Lin Yun guessed that this Star God Canon was what she meant by “her own things”.
A method like this, even if only the upper volume could circulate, would likely only be available to the elite of the elf clan. Moreover, the elf clan would certainly forbid transmitting the Star God Canon to humans.
By doing this, Zi Tong was undoubtedly taking considerable risk. If discovered, she might even face punishment for it.
However, divine sense cultivation methods differed from divine sense skill manuals.
A cultivation method was simply a way to train divine sense. If Zi Tong had given him a royal clan divine sense skill manual instead, Lin Yun using it would immediately reveal its origin. This was probably why Zi Tong had not placed any divine sense skill manuals in the storage ring for him.
