Seclusion
Dylan picked up the parchment with care, afraid that he would accidentally damage it. He looked at the parchment with uncontained excitement. This is it!
Dylan held it with great care. It was quite light as he got a feel of it.
As Dylan unfolded the parchment, a blue light shot out towards his forehead. Information blooded his brain as the information was transferred instantly.
With his strong mind, this was nothing. He could process the vast amount of information that was enough to make a normal person's brain explode.
After all, the higher the realm of a person, the more efficient their brain becomes. A supreme expert could even rival the speed of supercomputers in data analysis and processing. If not, how would the experts comprehend the conceptual things and laws of the universe? Even the smartest computer won't be able to comprehend the tip of the iceberg of laws.
Just like that, Dylan felt that with the transmission of information. He actually had an illusion that he had read the contents of the parchment a thousand times. He could recall every word and every punctuation with ease and with his eyes closed.
'Ohhh... So one needs to have sufficient understanding of space to condense a divine seed? That's the fucking minimum requirement?'
Dylan then began to analyze further. Once one had a sufficient understanding of the space law, they could use this to transform the spirit in the spiritual platform.
The human-grade divine sense technique, as mentioned in the parchment, uses the space to envelop the spirit to let it temporarily borrow the space to condense seed.
On the other hand, the earth grade in his hand had an entirely different, superior approach. It doesn't borrow the space, it fuses it entirely to its being. Then, the spirit itself would become the divine seed. This gives it superior effects and a more powerful divine sense in terms of density, quality, and range.
Dylan was moved as he understood the massive difference between the two. Now, he understood why he failed to condense the divine sense seed repeatedly. If not because he's a dunce or due to lack of talent. Him, how had a stack of innate talents lack talent? That is where he was abundant the most.
The reason was his understanding of the law of space, even with his Space Holy Physique was lacking...
Dylan had to admit that didn't utilize his space talent well. After all, he didn't try to study space law actively. Who knows if it would play a role in the formation of divine sense?
Dylan sighed. Then he began to make a mental command for the panel to display his progress of understanding of space.

'It worked!' Dylan was overjoyed. 'Damn, I only had 3.5% understanding even with my talent in space? It seems I need to prioritize this if I want to condense a damn seed.'
He wasn't discouraged at all. Talent without hard work is useless. Even with talent, you need to put in the work. One's talent only gives a high upper limit but one must exert effort to fully realize it. Those who lack talent compensate with hard work, yet they can still reach heights and realize their full potential.
'Well, the Space Holy Physique is just a purple talent now. There's no doubt it will improve drastically once upgraded to gold.'
Just like that, Dylan decided to go into seclusion, read the techniques about space, and master them to be able to increase his understanding of space.
4 months passed in the blink of an eye. With his talent for space, he managed to learn three human-grade space techniques. It took a month for those three, while it took three months just to learn one earth-grade space technique.
The three human-grade techniques were just the basics of the basics. One is named Earthen Walk. A combination of Earth and space attributes allows one to walk through the Earth for ambush and escape. A technique only Saints and above experts could perform.
The other two are more on enhancing spatial awareness. He chose this because it provides more insights about space than other human-grade space techniques.
As for the Earth Grade technique? It's a standard technique for Ancestor experts. Long-distance teleportation. Due to him being only a Saint, he couldn't exert its maximum effect. Once he performs it, it covers a lot less distance than if an Ancestor performs it.
But still, it's a technique that would grow with him, and his main purpose why he learned was to get insights into long-distance teleportation.
With all these, his efforts paid off, and he improved his understanding of space.

5%!
Every percentage of understanding of space brings about huge improvement! After all, space is one of the hardest rules to master just below the law of time.
Space and law, in four directions, created the universe!
'Hmmm... I could still not condense a divine seed... But I can feel that the bottleneck is loosening! It seems I'm in the right direction. Maybe after 6%, I'll be able to finally condense the seed?'
Dylan smiled. Just like that, he entered into seclusion again with a 'Do not disturb, in seclusion.' etched on his office door.
