Chapter 245: Chapter 165: Out of the Woods, a New Dawn Emerges, Finding the Edge of the Extreme! (5k)

[In the tenth year, besides cultivating and studying the Diagram of Wishful Visualization every day, you began to explore various secondary instances.]

[However, for someone close to legendary status like you, common instances posed almost no threat.]

[Within a year, you explored dozens of instances, hoping to find a suitable place of extreme limits, but you ended up failing.]

[In the eleventh year, with the enhancement of great wisdom, you had entered the threshold of the Wishful Visualization Technique.]

[That year, your Divine Sense range surged to 4,500 zhang!]

[By the twelfth year, after several years of exploring, you had delved into more than a hundred instances, and even bosses at the Martial Emperor level had been killed in abundance.]

[Although there were places akin to evil grounds in those instances, none suited you – you still couldn't find a place of extreme limits that you yearned for.]

[In the thirteenth year, your Divine Sense range further broke through, nearly reaching 5,000 zhang.]

[Since you couldn't find a place of extreme limits, you could only focus on refining the Void Refinement Pill.]

[You had no shortage of Condensing Spirit Wood, what you lacked was Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[Thus, on the awakening day of the year, you attempted to collect Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[Circulating spiritual power, you floated in the sky, your Divine Sense reaching out at all times, capturing the dark clouds and thunder high above, and keenly observing the possible rainfalls.]

[But when the raindrops began to fall, you were still befuddled.]

[Tens of thousands of raindrops fell simultaneously, and the order of their descent was too minute to be discerned, even by milliseconds.]

[Even though your Divine Sense was powerful enough, you were still far from sensing the first ten drops of rain.]

[You knew this was because your Divine Sense wasn't strong enough, so you prepared to further temper your Divine Sense!]

[In the fourteenth year, as you observed the Diagram of Wishful Visualization for increasingly longer periods, your divine soul's strength also grew stronger.]

[Initially, you felt dizzy and could not continue after observing for half an hour, but now you were able to continuously observe for nearly an hour.]

[Instead, you focused all your energy on enhancing your Divine Sense and the cultivation of the Protective Gang Qi.]

[Every day, you extended your cultivation time to four hours.]

[The rest of the time, you tried to collect more information about places of extreme limits.]

[In the same year, your Divine Sense range increased to 5,400 zhang, but you were still in the Five Senses Realm!]

[In the sixteenth year, your Divine Sense achieved another breakthrough, increasing to 5,600 zhang.]

[But you also realized that as you overly consumed Soul Condensing Pills over the years, your spirit occasionally felt absent-minded.]

[Additionally, the effect of the Soul Condensing Pills began to decline, and your Divine Sense's growth slowed down.]

[In the seventeenth year, although the Great Xia Military was concerned for your safety, they still revealed to you the coordinates of a few "taboo-level" instances under your persistent demands.]

[You began attempting to explore "taboo-level" instances.]

[Your first target was an instance called the Crimson Lotus Demon Cave.]

[It was rumored that within this instance, there was an incredibly powerful Flame Demon, and many at the Martial Emperor level had perished within this instance.]

[After preparing for several days and adjusting yourself to peak condition, you entered this instance.]

[The environment inside this instance was a deep cave system where the deeper you went, the higher the temperature became.]

[But you were already impervious to hot and cold, so the high temperatures didn't affect you.]

[After exploring for a month, you fought your way through demons and finally reached the bottommost layer of the Crimson Lotus Cave, encountering the rumored Flame Demon.]

[But this Flame Demon was merely at the peak level of the Martial Emperor.]

[Although its strength was remarkable, you still managed to defeat it after putting in some effort.]

[After getting close to the Flame Demon, you thoroughly explored and discovered that beneath its lair, there was an even deeper cave.]
