Chapter 5: Grand Dao Divine Eyes

“System, are there any precautions I need to take when switching my cultivation to the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》?” Chen Ping asked in his mind.

【Ding! The host already possesses the Grand Dao Divine Physique. There are no obstacles to switching to the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》. Your original cultivation will automatically be converted into Grand Dao Source Power at a conversion ratio of 10,000:1.】

“10,000:1?” Chen Ping was startled.

“Then all that compressed spiritual energy in my dantian…”

【Calculating… The host’s current spiritual energy reserves are equivalent to the total capacity of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. After conversion into Grand Dao Source Power, you will directly reach the first layer of Qi Refining in the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》.】

“Directly to the first layer of Qi Refining in the Grand Dao Divine Scripture?” Chen Ping’s eyes lit up. “Then what am I waiting for? Switch!”

【Beginning conversion…】

In an instant, the massive amount of compressed spiritual energy in Chen Ping’s dantian began to vibrate violently.

Guided, tempered, and purified by an invisible force, the energy gradually condensed from its original gaseous state, finally turning into wisps of pale gold airflow.

That was the Grand Dao Source Power.

The conversion process lasted for a full two hours.

When the last trace of spiritual energy was converted, Chen Ping felt completely reborn.

His meridians were tougher and wider, his physical strength had increased more than a hundredfold, and even his divine sense had become much more refined.

More importantly, he felt a faint connection form between himself and some mysterious Dao in the world.

It was an indescribable realization, as if he could summon a trace of the Dao’s power with a simple wave of his hand.

“Is this the power of the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》…”

Chen Ping opened his eyes, a flash of golden light passing through them.

He reached out, and with a thought, a wisp of pale gold airflow swirled around his fingertips.

Though faint, it contained a power that far surpassed ordinary spiritual energy.

【Ding! The host has successfully switched to the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》. Current Realm: First layer of Qi Refining.】

【Unlocked Grand Dao Divine Ability: Grand Dao Divine Eyes (Initiate) – Able to see through all illusions and perceive the true essence.】

Grand Dao Divine Eyes?

With a stir of his heart, Chen Ping tried to activate this Divine Ability.

A faint golden halo immediately covered his eyes.

Through this halo, he saw a completely different world.

What drifted in the air was no longer ordinary spiritual energy, but various energy flows of different colors.

Wood-attribute spiritual energy was green, fire-attribute was red, earth-attribute was yellow…

And deep within these energy flows, he could vaguely see faint, silver-white threads that were even more mysterious.

Were those… threads of law?

Before Chen Ping could take a closer look, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes and hastily deactivated the Divine Ability.

“It seems I can’t just use these Grand Dao Divine Eyes whenever I want. The consumption is too high.”

He rubbed his eyes, but his heart was filled with excitement.

With this Divine Ability, he would have the upper hand in the future, whether it was identifying treasures, seeing through illusions, or observing the flow of spiritual energy within an enemy’s body.

“Master!”

Lin Xiaoyu’s voice came from outside the room, carrying a hint of urgency.

Chen Ping pushed the door open and went out, only to see Lin Xiaoyu standing in the courtyard, her small face filled with confusion.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Ping asked.

“Your disciple… your disciple just tried to cultivate according to the 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》,”

Lin Xiaoyu said with some unease. “But just as I completed one minor cycle, the surrounding spiritual energy rushed frantically into my body. I almost couldn’t control it…”

Hearing this, Chen Ping immediately activated his Grand Dao Divine Eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoyu.

In his eyes, Lin Xiaoyu was currently surrounded by a faint golden halo. That was a sign of the initial awakening of the Heavenly Dao Divine Physique.

Inside her body, wisps of pure spiritual energy were circulating along a specific path of meridians, growing stronger with each completed cycle.

More importantly, Chen Ping could clearly see that the source of the Heaven-Detested Physique within Lin Xiaoyu’s body was being slowly devoured and converted by the source of the Heavenly Dao Divine Physique.

Although the speed was very slow, it was indeed happening.

“No need to worry,” Chen Ping comforted her.

“This is a manifestation of your special physique and its extremely high compatibility with the 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》.

“It’s normal to find it hard to control at the beginning. You’ll get used to it after a few more tries.”

He walked over to Lin Xiaoyu and placed his hand on her upper back. “Now, follow my guidance and run the cultivation method once more.”

Lin Xiaoyu closed her eyes as instructed.

Chen Ping channeled a wisp of Grand Dao Source Power and slowly transferred it into her body, guiding the flow of her spiritual energy.

This time, with Chen Ping’s guidance, Lin Xiaoyu quickly grasped the rhythm.

The spiritual energy flowed smoothly through her body, and with each completed cycle, her aura became more stable.

【Ding! Disciple Lin Xiaoyu has successfully completed one minor cycle of the 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》. Proficiency +1.】

【The host receives a 100,000-fold feedback: Grand Dao Source Power +100 units! 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》 comprehension +1!】

Chen Ping felt more golden airflow enter his dantian, while his understanding of the 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》 deepened by another level.

This cultivation method belonged to a different system than his 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》.

However, all Grand Daos shared common ground, and cross-referencing the two gave him considerable inspiration.

Two hours later, Lin Xiaoyu opened her eyes, a look of pleasant surprise on her face.

“Master, I feel like… I’ve broken through to the second layer of Qi Refining?”

Chen Ping looked closely. Sure enough, Lin Xiaoyu’s aura was a notch stronger than before; she had officially stepped into the second layer of Qi Refining.

This speed…

Even though Chen Ping was prepared, he could not help but gasp inwardly.

To go from drawing Qi into the body to the second layer of Qi Refining took ordinary disciples at least three to five months, and even those with good talent needed a month or two.

Yet this girl had done it in just half a day!

Was this the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao Divine Physique?

“Not bad,” Chen Ping nodded, appearing calm on the surface.

“But you must not become arrogant. On the path of cultivation, the foundation is the most important. You must progress steadily and cultivate every realm to perfection.”

“Your disciple will keep that in mind!” Lin Xiaoyu said seriously.

Looking at his obedient and sensible disciple, Chen Ping felt deeply gratified.

Chen Ping activated his Grand Dao Divine Eyes, carefully observing the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi in Lin Xiaoyu’s dantian.

Under those divine eyes, which could see through all illusions and perceive the true essence, nothing could remain hidden.

Deep within Lin Xiaoyu’s dantian, a tiny purple airflow was slowly spiraling.

Though this violet qi was as thin as a strand of hair, it contained an unimaginable power of creation.

A faint golden halo surrounded it, the source of her awakening Heavenly Dao Divine Physique.

Beyond the violet qi and golden light, a trace of gray-black mist was faintly visible, being steadily eroded and transformed by the two forces.

It was the remnant mark of the Heaven-Detested Physique.

“Xiaoyu,” Chen Ping said, withdrawing his gaze.

“Try circulating the 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》 to absorb the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi in your body.”

Lin Xiaoyu blinked in surprise. “Master, what Primordial Violet Qi?”

“The wisp of violet energy in the center of your dantian,” Chen Ping said, pointing toward her lower abdomen.

“Close your eyes and look inward. You should be able to sense it.”

Lin Xiaoyu did as she was told, closing her eyes and sinking her divine sense into her dantian.

A moment later, she opened her eyes in surprise. “There really is a wisp of violet energy! Master, when did…”

“That is the energy of creation I just channeled into your body,” Chen Ping said calmly.

“Now, follow my guidance and try to direct it.”

Lin Xiaoyu took a deep breath, sat back down cross-legged, and began circulating the 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》.

Chen Ping activated his Grand Dao Divine Eyes once more, observing her closely.

In his vision, the spiritual energy within Lin Xiaoyu began to flow along a specific path.

Drawn by the aura of the 《Heavenly Dao Divine Art》, the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi began to tremble slightly.

“Take it slow,” Chen Ping said, his voice carrying a strange rhythm that seemed to harmonize with the Grand Dao.

“Do not force it. Let it naturally follow the flow of your spiritual energy.”

This was the effect of combining 【Master’s Majesty】 with the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》.

Every word and action naturally aligned with the rhythm of the Dao, guiding others toward enlightenment.
