264 Half a Year Later (1/2)

The use of Divine Will was not solely to identify items that were invisible to the naked eye. Strong Divine Will could affect one's soul or even destroy one's soul!

As of now, Zhou Donghuang had managed to cultivate Divine Will as he was now at the Dharma stage. For Dharma adepts who were at the Primordial Soul stage and below and had not yet managed to cultivate their Divine Will, once they used their Divine Will, they would be able to affect the other party's soul. Even if they were unable to fully destroy the other party's soul, they could at least impact it.

Once one's soul was affected, if the person in question were to face something extremely impactful, then their soul would be lost.

Think about this: If two Dharma adepts dueled and either one of them were to utilize their Divine Will, at a key moment should they choose to use the Divine Well to impact the other party's soul, what would happen?

In the instant where the other party lost their soul, almost immediately, they may even lose their lives!

”However, this Divine Will is too weak... As compared to the Divine Will created at the early Primordial Soul stage by a Primal Core adept, it is much weaker... Other than its use of being able to identify items invisible to the naked eye, it can only be used to bully and harm those Dharma adepts who have not yet cultivated their Divine Will.”

Although Zhou Donghuang was criticizing his own Divine Will, a joyful look appeared in his eyes nevertheless. It was clear to see that he was rather satisfied with the state of his Divine Will.

”Now, the Divine Soul Shaper has been fully refined, and I can fully train without further distractions... I need to make use of the time left before the Alliance Hunt commences and upgrade my third Dharma power to the late Dharma stage!”

With such a goal in mind, Zhou Donghuang began to fully immerse himself in his training and was oblivious to everything else that was taking place in the external world.

Other than Zhou Donghuang, Da Zhuang and He Mengxi also seldom left their rooms in the remaining half of the year.

Da Zhuang and He Mengxi, however, had not isolated themselves merely to train their Dharma powers. After all, their Dharma powers were sufficiently trained.

Even if they continued to train, it was unlikely that their Dharma powers would reach the next stage.

As long as they managed to reach the late Dharma stage in the future, with the new Deity's Tribulation training style that they had switched to, their Dharma powers would follow suit and be moved to the next stage.

Of course, although they trained hard, there was still a long way to go before they could reach the late Dharma stage. A mere six months would not be enough for them to cross over to the next stage.

...

Time flew by, and the six months went by in a blur.

The Alliance Hunt of the Hengliu galaxy was jointly organized by the top 52 sects. The aim of the Alliance Hunt was to resist the two strong Transcendental Forces: the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy.

In the Hengliu galaxy, the best training environment and training resources were all concentrated in the hands of the two Transcendental Forces. Furthermore, only the Transcendental Forces' training resources could guarantee the training speed of a Divine Transformation adept at the early Divine Transformation stage.

This was why the two Transcendental Forces had the most Divine Transformation adepts.

As for the various top sects in the Alliance Hunt, even if they managed to produce a Divine Transformation adept, unless they were entrusted with the precious and important role of guarding the sect, they would usually choose to leave the Hengliu galaxy.

This was because to the Divine Transformation adepts, training in the Hengliu galaxy would mean that their training speed would be decreased. Due to the waste of time, they may even be unable to enter the Separating Divinity stage and be forced to stay stagnant for the rest of their lives.

Even though Divine Transformation adepts had a slighter longer lifespan, they were also not immortal and had limited years to live.

For all the Divine Transformation adepts, it was natural to seek improvement to become Separating Divinity adepts and increase the lifespan that a Divine Transformation adept normally had.

Because of this, even if the top sects managed to produce a Divine Transformation adept, these adepts would not be willing to waste their time and living years by remaining in the Hengliu galaxy.

Even for those in the two Transcendental Forces, once a Divine Transformation adept had trained to a certain standard, they would choose to leave the Hengliu galaxy as well.

All of these Divine Transformation adepts naturally wanted to expand beyond this world and find a richer galaxy where they could create bright futures for themselves. Who would want to limit themselves and their living years without stepping outside to explore?

One could say that within the Hengliu galaxy, the two Transcendental Forces were able to produce and retain more Divine Transformation adepts as compared to the various top sects only because they had good control over training resources.

Of course, perhaps, some would be doubtful about this.

For the Divine Transformation adepts choosing to leave the various top sects, even if the chances were slim, was it still possible for some to triumph and cross over to the Separating Divinity stage?

The answer was, of course, a resounding yes.

However, for those elites, they continued to desire to improve themselves and eventually reach the Heavenly Stage in order to live an even longer life.

Furthermore, their loved ones would be brought along with them when they chose to leave the Hengliu galaxy. Under such a circumstance, it was clear that they had no intention to return to the Hengliu galaxy or the sect that they had come from.

Of the past Divine Transformation adepts who had left their sects, there were actually more Divine Transformation adepts who had left the two Transcendental Forces.
