Chapter 363: Chapter 362: Nurturing the Divine Consciousness

```This is the Ancestral Court! Although not all these powerful entities necessarily reside within the Ancestral Court, they are the existences that humans must face if they wish to rise up in the future. Each of them is a rank 12 powerhouse, and each controls their own world.

Zhang Haoxuan took a deep breath and said, "Shocked, right? You should be. This is the Demon Monster Land we have to face. This is the true Demon Monster Land. This continent belongs to them, to their dominion. It's also what we will have to confront in the future."

"Therefore, as I told Tang San just now, your primary task for the next few days is to visit their palaces. Only by truly feeling their aura and the pressure they bring on you will you realize the gap between us. At the same time, what I hope even more is that in the process of observing and feeling, you could comprehend some abilities that are compatible with your own attributes. It's undeniable that if we humans want to become strong and catch up to them, we have to at least find and follow their path for now."

Zhang Haoxuan spoke very seriously. The five members of the Shrek squad nodded one by one.

So this is the world they have to face!

Zhang Haoxuan turned to Tang San and said, "I will be leaving here tomorrow, so I have only rented this room for one day. You all practice in my room today. I'll be reporting back to headquarters tomorrow, and then you can start touring the palaces of the Ancestral Court."

Wu Bingji's pupils constricted. "What, our room fee is wasted then? Is it still possible to get a refund now?"

Zhang Haoxuan replied irritably, "Consider it tuition for being new here. Do you think the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor runs a charity house? No refunds. Now, make good use of your time."

Wu Bingji wanted to say something more, but ultimately held back, yet his face was filled with an expression of pain.

Under Zhang Haoxuan's guidance, the six entered the training room together. It had to be said that the training room of Demon King Level was indeed different. It was much more spacious. Accommodating the six of them was no problem at all.

The six sat down on the spot and started meditating, absorbing the rich spirituality of heaven and earth in the training room to nourish themselves.

Zhang Haoxuan didn't compete with his disciples for the spirituality of heaven and earth, as what he valued more were those energies within the aura that could nourish the divine consciousness.

Having a breakthrough to the divine consciousness level, in a sense, signified a qualitative sublimation. However, after this qualitative sublimation, cultivation speed wouldn't necessarily increase significantly. On the contrary, cultivating divine consciousness was more difficult than spiritual power and relied more on enlightenment. Progress in enlightenment far exceeded other aspects. Moreover, sublimation during the ascension of ranks could also enhance divine consciousness.

For Zhang Haoxuan, it was already extremely difficult for his bloodline to break through to the divine-ranked level, let alone advancing further. Consequently, it was even harder to enhance his divine consciousness. Hence, the training room here that could enhance the divine consciousness was of great help to him.

To be precise, it wasn't about enhancement but nourishment. Nourishment wouldn't advance divine consciousness, but it could make it more stable. The hotel established by the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor, although costly, wasn't considered too expensive for the Demon Emperors. A training room capable of nourishing the divine consciousness bore an implied intention to win over the Demon King Level powerhouses.

Tang San also silently immersed himself in cultivation, quietly sensing the changes within himself.

The nourishment of the spirituality of heaven and earth was normal for him; he wasn't in a hurry to raise his Mysterious Heavenly Skill Realm cultivation base, and in fact, he had to suppress it for the time being. In the future, when he reached the Ninth Stage, in order to set his sights on the God Rank, he would need to ensure that all types of bloodline powers reached the peak of the Ninth Stage and to gather nine powerful bloodlines before he could attempt a breakthrough. Therefore, at his current state of cultivation, what was more important was to train up his partners, especially the difficult Heavenly Fox Transformation.

But divine consciousness was different. Nourishing the divine consciousness meant making it stronger. He faced no bottleneck in advancing his divine consciousness since it had once been at the God King level. Although his current spiritual power hadn't reached the divine consciousness level and he couldn't truly cultivate it, nourishing the spiritual power bit by bit was still effective, albeit inefficient. For every bit of divine consciousness he accumulated, it was as if he could control a bit more of his previous life's power.

```

Soon, he began to feel the energy within the training room that could directly nourish divine consciousness. It was a kind of will, designed to strengthen the will of those with powerful divine consciousness. This will had a certain enlightening effect on weaker divine consciousness and also carried a bit of oppressive force. Enlightenment combined with pressure could allow divine consciousness to advance.

After years of nurturing, Tang San's divine consciousness had grown to more than twice what it had been after that one-time use. That is to say, when he had initially used it, he had once bluffed and deterred two Daqiangs, and also killed a Demon King Level divine consciousness. Now he could use it twice without being exhausted, or opt for one stronger use.

The speed of this recovery was indeed a bit slow, but he had no choice. However, his cultivation today in this place gave him a feeling of sudden clarity.

The effects of the Demon King suite's training room had a noticeably stimulating effect on his divine consciousness. What about the Demon Emperor suite, then? What would be the effects of the Demon Emperor suite? Could the enhancement of divine consciousness be even greater?

This gave Tang San some room to imagine about the Demon Emperor suite.

After half a day and a full night of cultivation, when Tang San awoke from his meditative state, he clearly felt that his divine consciousness had improved a bit. This small improvement should not be underestimated; the noticeable increase in divine consciousness was roughly equivalent to half a month's worth of his normal cultivation. This was a speed increase of more than tenfold.

Since arriving at the Ancestral Court, this was the first time he had felt the benefits it offered him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although the speed of improvement was still slow, it was much faster than before! Moreover, there was still the higher-level Demon Emperor suite, wasn't there?

Zhang Haoxuan had also finished his cultivation and looked radiant; clearly, the previous night's cultivation had been quite effective for him as well.

"Awake? The others are still in meditation. According to the schedule, the room is available until noon. You might as well stay here and cultivate before going back. I'm planning to go to the headquarters to report," Zhang Haoxuan called Tang San to the living room and said to him.

Tang San said, "Teacher, could I trouble you with something before you leave?"

"Tell me," Zhang Haoxuan said.

Tang San said, "Please inquire at the front desk, for a hotel like this that provides training rooms for Demon Kings and even Great Demon Kings to enhance divine consciousness, how many are there in the Ancestral Court, and which is the best?"

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Sure, I'll go ask about that later. This training room is indeed exceptional! After you all safely return, I'm considering staying here for a while. Continuous cultivation here would be greatly beneficial for the stabilization and improvement of my divine consciousness. If my divine consciousness could grow stronger, I believe it would have some feedback effects on my bloodline."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to rush about the bloodline; I've already thought of a way to help enhance it further. It should be effective."

"Oh?" Zhang Haoxuan expressed some surprise, "Enhance my bloodline intensity?"

Tang San nodded and said, "However, it's not for now; we have to wait a bit longer." Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"That's fine. I've just broken through recently, so there's no hurry."

The method Tang San had considered for enhancing Zhang Haoxuan's bloodline naturally had to do with the Lion Tiger Beast clan. If a powerful member of the Lion Tiger Beast clan could break through to the God Rank by virtue of their fused bloodline, and as their bloodlines were fundamentally the same, with the fused bloodline of the Lion Tiger Beast being of a high-tier level, it could undoubtedly assist Zhang Haoxuan in enhancing his bloodline intensity.
