Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 611: Chapter 352 Divine Skills

From within the relic of the eyeball, two beams of light shot forth, landing in Li Shiming’s eyes.

Golden light danced in his eyes, where complex and mystical patterns of rules faintly emerged.

After the world within the eyeball relic returned to normal, his brain received all the information about “Divine Eye Power.”

His gaze fell upon Venerable Huike, and he saw the intricate patterns hidden beneath the surface of his skin.

Venerable Huike snorted coldly, his Spiritual Power Pattern surged, forming a barrier that blocked Li Shiming’s sight.

“Shiming, in the future, do not use Divine Eye Power to observe cultivators stronger than yourself, as it is an act of provocation and the other party can sense this kind of observation!” Elder Zuo solemnly cautioned.

“This disciple has been impolite!” Li Shiming bowed deeply to Venerable Huike, apologizing.

That single glance had allowed him to see the pattern of the main cultivation technique within Venerable Huike’s body. If he had been familiar with Qianye Temple’s techniques, he could have deduced Venerable Huike’s primary cultivation technique from the patterns seen with that glance.

If Venerable Huike were to encounter a Nascent Soul Ancestor of the same rank and the other party knew of his primary cultivation technique, Venerable Huike would be at a disadvantage even before the battle began, and his chances of victory would be significantly reduced.

That was only the most basic ability of Divine Eye Power, which had many more capabilities.

Of course, the biggest issue with Divine Eye Power was its limited usefulness in combat; the standard by which a Divine Skill’s power is measured in the Cultivation World is the boost it provides to one’s combat abilities.

“Be mindful in the future. Young benefactor indeed has astonishing talent. I hope you will not spread the ‘Divine Eye Power’ to others, or else you will become an enemy of Qianye Temple!” Venerable Huike regained his kind demeanor and said.

“Huike, Shiming’s ‘Divine Eye Power’ was not something he willingly learned, but rather a compensation from your Qianye Temple. How he deals with ‘Divine Eye Power’ is his affair. It’s best not to threaten a disciple of my sect in my presence!” Elder Zuo, ever so astute, immediately detected the implications in Venerable Huike’s words and countered without delay.

Elder Zuo was quite pleased internally; he discerned that the ‘Divine Eye Power’ inheritance Li Shiming received this time was complete, or else Venerable Huike would not have reacted in such a way.

Venerable Huike was not being petty; any important inheritance from Shushan Sect learned by a cultivator of another sect would be addressed similarly.

However, the reason Li Shiming acquired the inheritance was different; it was part of the compensation given to him by Qianye Temple. Qianye Temple had already taken precautions against the spread of ‘Divine Eye Power.’ Now, to intervene in how Li Shiming handled the inheritance after possessing it was somewhat indefensible.

Venerable Huike did not say more; he had stated his piece, trusting that Li Shiming would understand its significance.

“Shiming, you may leave for now; I have things to discuss with the Venerable!” Elder Zuo instructed Li Shiming.

He was somewhat wary of Venerable Huike; these monks preached compassion, but in carrying out their deeds, they had no scruples.

After bowing and retreating a distance, Li Shiming soared into the sky and left the area.

It was only when he returned to Sword Holding Peak that he let out a deep breath of relief.

Being in the presence of two Nascent Soul Ancestors, especially with Venerable Huike being overly attentive to him, had kept him feeling suppressed.

But soon, a smile spread across his face.

‘Divine Eye Power,’ though perhaps not considered a powerful Divine Skill by Qianye Temple, was exceedingly important in Li Shiming’s view.

He stretched out his palm, directing his gaze towards it.

As the pattern of ‘Divine Eye Power’ flickered in his eyes, the details of his palm magnified. He saw the cells and delved even deeper into one, seeing its membrane.

His sight traversed the cellular membrane, allowing him to see the cytoplasm within, and then past the cytoplasm to the nucleus.

On the surface of the nuclear envelope, he even noticed the ribosomes.

Considering the nucleus is only a few micrometers in size, and ribosomes are even smaller, he was one hundred percent certain that while using ‘Divine Eye Power’ for micro-observation, he could see substances that were at micrometer level.

This was almost equivalent to the precision he could achieve when observing within the machine room space, and it was extremely significant for him.

The machine room space was not large; larger machinery had to be operated outside. If he could enhance his control to micrometer precision, his research on the technology of his prior world would undergo breakthrough advancements.

With a slight mental gesture, he engaged ‘Divine Eye Power,’ observing the machine room space through a thread of Divine Thought.

He retrieved a CPU of one-micrometer precision, the highest specification he had manually crafted in the machine room space, as none of the machinery he built had yet to reach such high precision.

He had deployed these CPUs in the unmanned drone satellite system, where they played a crucial role.

Though ‘Divine Eye Power’ normally operated through the eyes, it could also be employed via Divine Thought just like the eyes of a Golden Core cultivator.

Thus, Li Shiming had no trouble using ‘Divine Eye Power’ with Divine Thought to observe the machine room space as he inspected the one-micrometer precision CPU.

In the machine room space, one micrometer was the smallest precision he could observe.

However, under the influence of ‘Divine Eye Power,’ he was able to see even smaller precisions than a micrometer; dividing it into a thousand parts, the smallest precision he could observe was a thousandth of a micrometer, which in his former world was termed a nanometer.
