The second layer of Divine Manipulation Technique, Diverging Divine Consciousness, requires one to split their own Divine Sense.
Chen Mobai researched this topic online and, based on what cultivators described, the degree of pain was more than most humans could bear.
It feels as if one’s head was struck heavily with a stick, and even with the aid of Mind Incense, one would need a month to recover from the weakness brought about by the fracturing of one’s Divine Sense.
Even though Chen Mobai had great confidence in himself, he was still somewhat apprehensive about this unknown and severe pain.
Thus, before he formally split his Divine Sense, he thought it’d be better to perform a little experiment first.
Splitting the Divine Consciousness Forming of the Green Paulownia Seedling into two must be painful, but plucking a bloom or fruit from it shouldn’t hurt as much, right?
As Chen Mobai thought this, his Divine Sense slightly moved and he felt as if a thin needle gently pricked his forehead, the pain was almost imperceptible.
Then, the bloom or fruit fell from the top of the Green Paulownia Seedling and planted itself at the edge of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.
The Divine Manipulation Technique was activated, and the nurturing effects of Mind Incense began to display.
Chen Mobai saw the flower or fruit of the Green Paulownia Seedling rapidly transform into a seed before beginning to sprout and grow one, two, three tender buds.

This indicated that the consciousness he had divided in such a short period, had grown to a realm equivalent to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.
The principal Divine Consciousness hasn’t suffered any notable damage, only weakened by about ten to twenty percent.
It remained at the Foundation Establishment level.
Compared to what others described after practicing Divine Manipulation Technique—severe damage to elemental energy, clouded consciousness, unbearable pain—he felt like he’d just done a workout and broken into a sweat.
Although he didn’t know the reason for this, Chen Mobai stopped his splitting Divine Sense and continued to observe the seedling that had grown from the fruit of the original Green Paulownia Seedling.
Half a month later.
Chen Mobai sat in his wooden house, facing an imageless puppet.
Looking at oneself was a completely new experience.
He had mastered the second layer of the Divine Manipulation Technique, “Divide Mind into Thoughts”.
Although he didn’t know the reason, Chen Mobai didn’t probe further since the outcome was positive and there was no period of weakness.
He speculated that the blossoms and fruits of the Blue Jade Paulownia were originally Spirit Medicines used to augment Divine Sense. For instance, Fire Clearing Pill was mainly refined from this ingredient.
Therefore, his inadvertent division of Mind into Thoughts with the fruit of the Green Paulownia Seedling had instead led to a trick to cultivate the Divine Manipulation Technique.
Next, he just needed to nurture the new seedling that just sprouted again, and when its flowers bore fruit, he could cultivate the third layer of Divine Manipulation Technique, “Merge Divinity into One”.
Since he was originally at the Foundation Establishment level, and his main Divine Sense was not weakened, he only needed to devote energy to enhance the Divine Sense of the new seedling, and estimated that this could be completed within two to three years at most.
If he took the help of some pills, he might even be able to halve the time.
Just as he prepared to try practicing the tactic of attacking with his imageless puppet and his own body, a message token flew to his door.
His apprentice Zhuo Ming was knocking on his door.
Since he had said before the retreat that he was going to practice spells, Zhuo Ming wouldn’t disturb him unless there was something important.
So Chen Mobai immediately stopped practicing, took back the Divine Sense attached to the imageless puppet, stood up, and opened the formation.
“I apologize for the disturbance, Master.”
“No harm done, is there something you need?”
“Senior brother Yuan… No, Uncle Master Yuan Chiye has successfully Foundation Establishment, Uncle Master E Yun sent a message and invited you to celebrate together.”
That was good news. As a member of the same faction, Chen Mobai should indeed go.
“Alright, go to Small Yang Ridge and dig up the Spiritual Wine I buried last year, and come with me.”
“Understood, Master.”
That night.
Chen Mobai came to Divine Wood City with his disciple.
They were still in E Yun’s courtyard.
Under the big tree at the center of the yard, the three of them sat around a small square table, drinking and making merry.
“My successful Foundation Establishment is due to Senior Brother E’s Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, unfortunately…”
Chen Mobai arrived late, and only after hearing Yuan Chiye’s explanation did he understand the reason.
It turns out that when he was trying to solidify his Foundation Establishment into Condensing Qi into Liquid, even after being fully prepared, he could only concentrate six drops of Liquid Spiritual Power before losing strength.
Just when he was about to fail, the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf that E Yun had given him suddenly flew up and merged into his Dantian. It released a large amount of pure Wooden Spiritual Energy, helping him complete Condensing Qi into Liquid, and then rushed into the Purple Palace, protecting Yuan Chiye’s Divine Sense from wandering, completing the transition of spirit, energy, and vitality, and advancing to Foundation Establishment.
“Since this ‘Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf’ shines in your hands, it shows that it is fate for you. There’s no need to feel guilty. It’s alright if you use it.”
Although there was a bitter smile on E Yun’s face, he still generously gave Yuan Chiye his opportunity from the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
There was no other choice. After Foundation Establishment, this “Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf” seemed to be a Legal Treasure of his life, integrating with Yuan Chiye’s spirit, energy, and spirit.
If E Yun forcibly takes back this Spiritual Object, it would destroy Yuan Chiye’s Dao foundations.
Even if he was reluctant, he knew how to weigh the importance of the issue.
“Thank you, Senior Brother. I’m willing to do my utmost.”
For Yuan Chiye, the kindness E Yun showed him was truly great.
If it weren’t for the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, he would not have been able to succeed in this Foundation Establishment. Although he was old enough to fight for the next batch of Foundation Building Pills refined from Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom, he would definitely not be able to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm..
