Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands

Chapter 308: Divine Soul Domain Amplifies Power Fivefold

Mianshan Prefecture, Deep Valley.

Shen Mo exhaled a deep breath of turbid air, but this time, he didn't open his eyes.

Instead, he kept them closed, focusing on sensing everything around him.

He could hear the breeze brushing past the treetops. He could hear an army of ants surrounding and attacking a large black-furred rat. He could hear earthworms wriggling through the soil.

All these faint, rustling sounds now felt as though they were happening right next to his ears, each one crystal clear.

This was the ability of a Divine Transformation cultivator— the Divine Soul Domain.

Within a radius of several hundred miles, any sound, any movement, would instantly be perceived by them.

Unless another cultivator of the same level appeared within this range, the Divine Transformation cultivator was the omniscient and sovereign presence within it.

"Every Divine Transformation cultivator's Divine Soul Domain is entirely unique."

"What is the special trait of mine?"

Shen Mo delved deep into his perceptions.

After a brief moment, it seemed as though he had grasped something.

He suddenly raised a finger and flicked it lightly.

A wisp of spiritual energy emerged from his fingertip.

Shen Mo's gaze locked onto the wisp, burning with intensity.

In the next instant, the wisp of energy expanded rapidly, visibly swelling as though being inflated.

By the time it traveled a hundred feet away from Shen Mo, the once hair-thin wisp had grown into a massive spiritual energy sphere over thirty feet in diameter!

Boom!

The giant sphere smashed into the distant dense forest.

In an instant, the entire forest was flattened.

Trees were uprooted, the earth cracked open, and soil and rocks flew in all directions.

Countless demonic beasts that didn't manage to flee were instantly obliterated into fragments.

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow.

The power of this single strike was equivalent to a full-force attack from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator!

And yet, this was merely a casual flick of spiritual energy.

"So this is it. The effect of my Divine Soul Domain is to amplify the power of all techniques that leave the domain."

Shen Mo reflected thoughtfully.

From the moment he released that wisp of energy to the point it left his domain, it had traveled merely a hundred feet.

Yet within that short distance, the wisp had swelled to such a terrifying size!

It was easy to imagine how much stronger his techniques would become if he used more powerful combat skills.

"Roughly estimated, my techniques can be amplified by at least fivefold. And this applies to every technique, regardless of its attribute."

Shen Mo showed a satisfied expression.

After shedding his Nascent Soul exterior, the Nascent Soul techniques he relied on had vanished completely.

Initially, he had worried that the Divine Soul Domain wouldn't be as dominant as Nascent Soul techniques, which might lead to a decline in his overall strength.

Now, it was clear that not only had his strength not decreased, it had grown significantly stronger!

At that moment, Shen Mo suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

He instinctively retracted his Divine Soul Domain.

The faint feeling of vertigo finally began to subside.

"So this is it. Activating the Divine Soul Domain consumes a staggering amount of soul power."

"I only activated it for about ten breaths, and I already felt lightheaded."

Shen Mo pondered deeply.

No wonder it was said that at the Divine Transformation stage, one must do everything possible to enhance their Divine Soul.

The Divine Soul was the manifestation of the soul itself.

In essence, they were one and the same.

A stronger Divine Soul meant more abundant soul power.

With a more robust soul, the Divine Soul Domain could be maintained for longer durations.

"If I could keep my Divine Soul Domain active indefinitely... hmm."

Shen Mo's satisfaction deepened.

After waiting and accumulating for so long, he had finally stepped into the Divine Transformation stage.

"Although I've just entered the Divine Transformation stage, when combined with my blood energy cultivation, I can crush ordinary mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivators.

"And with the added boost of my Divine Soul Domain, even facing late-stage Divine Transformation cultivators, I might be able to kill them!"

"It's time to return to the sect. The anomalies here were too intense, and they will surely attract many cultivators soon."

Shen Mo meticulously erased all traces of his presence.

He didn't return in a straight line.

Instead, he took a long detour before finally arriving back at the Jade Cauldron Sect.

This habit of caution had long since been ingrained in his daily life.

Thus, carrying it out was second nature to him.

At the Jade Cauldron Sect.

The sect was bustling with activity, with cultivators coming and going in a hurry.

As Shen Mo returned, a disciple spotted him, bowed respectfully, and shouted, "Young Sect Master!"

In the martial arts arena, He Tianchou was explaining the application of combat techniques to a disciple. His tone was stern, filled with frustration, as if the disciple before him was the most disappointing he had ever taught.

Hearing the voice, He Tianchou's previously severe expression instantly transformed into one of delight.

He immediately dismissed the disciple before him, telling him to leave, and hurried toward Shen Mo.

"My Young Sect Master, you've finally returned after all this time training outside!" He Tianchou exclaimed joyfully.

Shen Mo nodded with a smile.

The excuse he had used to leave the Jade Cauldron Sect was that he had encountered a bottleneck and needed to hunt demonic beasts and refine his techniques in search of a breakthrough opportunity.

When he left, many meaningful gazes followed him as he departed.

However, Shen Mo was no ordinary person.

Unless a Divine Transformation cultivator personally pursued him, no one could even come close to catching him.

With just a few bursts of speed and a bit of trickery, he had easily evaded all prying eyes.

"How was the harvest, Young Sect Master? Have you made progress?" He Tianchou asked eagerly.

Shen Mo nodded slightly. "Indeed, I've reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

He Tianchou's eyes widened. "The peak already? So quickly!"

Shen Mo simply smiled without responding.

Realizing his slip, He Tianchou quickly covered his mouth. "Apologies, apologies, that was inappropriate of me. I promise I won't reveal a word about your breakthrough."

Shen Mo smiled faintly.

In truth, his current cultivation was at the entry level of the Divine Transformation stage.

If news of his Nascent Soul peak cultivation were to leak, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

In fact, it might even cause his enemies to underestimate him.

"By the way, where are my master and father?" Shen Mo asked.

"Elder Murong? She's been stationed at Dragon Snake Mountain," He Tianchou replied with a grin. "Your father is there as well, serving as a steward."

"Got it." Shen Mo nodded and quickly headed toward Dragon Snake Mountain.

The Third Elder's arrangements were thoughtful and well-planned.

At Dragon Snake Mountain.

The area stretched for miles with verdant greenery, lush mountains, and clear waters.

It was just as Shen Mo remembered it when he left.

From a distance, he immediately spotted the residence halfway up the mountain and landed lightly.

"Elder!"

A delighted voice called out.

A petite figure dashed toward him and threw herself into his arms.

Shen Mo chuckled softly.

He looked at Huang Caiying, taking a moment to examine her.

The once-young girl had grown into a graceful and beautiful young woman.

He patted her head and smiled. "Caiying, it's been a few years, and you've grown into a fine young lady."

Huang Caiying blushed and smiled shyly.

"Mo'er, you're back."

Not far away, a gentle, soothing voice like flowing water rang out.

Shen Mo looked up and saw Murong Yue, dressed in a flowing palace gown.

Today, Murong Yue wore a loose blue robe.

Yet, despite its looseness, her movements still accentuated her curves, adding an air of elegance and allure.

"Master, I'm back," Shen Mo said, his smile warm.

The two embraced tightly.

"Ahem, shouldn't you greet your father first when you come back?" Shen Jiuding stood with Mei Haihe, coughing pointedly.

Shen Mo chuckled. "All right, all right, I'm here now, aren't I?"

Shen Jiuding finally broke into a smile, his face full of pride and satisfaction.
