【Shen Yifeng said that for someone of normal comprehension, it's perfectly normal to take a dozen years or even decades to comprehend their first Divine Ability.】
【The difficulty of comprehending Divine Abilities stacks with each one you've already mastered—the more you comprehend, the harder it becomes to comprehend new ones.】
【With life being finite, many cultivators choose not to waste more effort comprehending additional Divine Abilities after mastering one, instead focusing their energy on realm advancement.】
【While comprehending more Divine Abilities certainly grants more options, being able to apply a single Divine Ability to its utmost extreme is also a skill in itself—it all depends on how a cultivator chooses to prioritize.】
【Cultivators generally apply and adapt Divine Abilities rather than using them directly.】
【For example, "Mountain-Bearing"—one interpretation of this Divine Ability is enhancing one's strength.】
【After comprehending "Mountain-Bearing," a cultivator will integrate it with the cultivation technique they practice, making it richer in expression and more powerful.】
【When a Divine Ability is applied into a cultivation technique, it creates a new type of technique—Divine Art.】
【As mentioned before, cultivation techniques in the Real Realm—which include spells, killing moves, and cultivation methods (including Qi Refining Arts, Soul Refining Arts, Body Refining Arts, and other cultivation path techniques)—are ranked from ninth-grade to first-grade, corresponding to Low, Medium, High, Earth, Heaven, and Immortal grades in the Void Realm.】
【The Void Realm doesn't have third-grade techniques or above.】
【Because—】
【Divine Arts that apply Earth Fiend Divine Abilities are third-grade techniques.】
【Divine Arts that apply Heavenly Fiend Divine Abilities are second-grade techniques.】
【As for the most powerful first-grade techniques, those aren't things ordinary cultivators can even learn about.】
【Shen Yifeng told you that first-grade techniques only exist in the hands of the most powerful factions within a local galaxy.】
【It's not hard to see that the "Divine Armament Revelation" in your hands, as a fourth-grade spell, is already the highest quality among normal techniques.】
【Anything above that would be Divine Arts that require first mastering an Earth Fiend Divine Ability before cultivation.】
【Of course, cultivators can also choose not to apply Divine Abilities and just use them in their raw form.】
【But if you don't apply them and someone else does, and you've both comprehended the same Divine Ability, you'll inevitably come out at a disadvantage.】
【You are currently in the tenfold Divine Ability comprehension state provided by "Mortal Bones."】
【While it takes others decades to comprehend their first Divine Ability, you naturally don't need that long.】
【After spending some time trying to comprehend a Divine Sense-related Divine Ability with no results, you realized it was time to switch tracks.】
【You tried a flight-related one next, still with no progress.】
【Finally, you tried "Mountain-Bearing," which is related to strength, and a spark of insight immediately flooded your mind.】
【"It seems that Divine Abilities more aligned with one's personal style are easier to comprehend?"】
【It doesn't matter which Divine Ability you comprehend first—what matters is actually having one.】
【So, following the insight from "Mountain-Bearing," you continued your deep contemplation.】
【Extracting trait tags...】
【Triggering "Luckier with Age" effect!】
【Extraction successful!】
【"Zilong! Zilong!" (Gold Legend):
General, would you be willing to charge seven times in and seven times out through the enemy ranks once more with Ah Dou on your back?!
When you are carrying a young child and wish to protect their safety, gain unlimited physical strength, unlimited primordial energy, and a Bloody Battle state!
Bloody Battle: Self-healing ability is nullified, all damage taken is weakened tenfold, but you can survive seven fatal injuries. Additionally, the heavier your injuries, the more destructive your techniques become, up to a hundredfold increase!
Young child definition: Human race under six years old.
We really are a golden partnership!】
【Would you like to adjust your trait tags?】
【Yes/No】
"High-quality trait tags really do have a higher drop rate now! But this one though..."
Gold tags usually grant explosive combat power, but they always come with a prerequisite condition.
"Zilong! Zilong!" requires Chen Yi to be "carrying Ah Dou."
"Where the hell am I supposed to find a young child?"
Just grab some random passerby's kid and carry them around?
That's way too immoral, and it'd be a huge hassle normally.
"I'll skip it for now, let's see what else comes up."
【You chose Yes.】
【You replaced "Luckier with Age" with "Civil War God."】
【You replaced "Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles" with "Cross-Dressing Big Shot."】
【"Huh? What does 'I' mean by giving me a 'Cross-Dressing Big Shot'?"】
【You flew into a rage.】
【"The Female Celestial Emperor's bellyband is indeed powerful, but I'm a real man—does it make any sense for me to fight wearing that thing?
Huh? Answer me!
I'd rather get killed by the Alien Race and croak in the Real Realm than ever wear that bellyband again!"】
【You calmed your anger down a bit—you were this close to transforming into Super One, just saying.】
【"'Civil War God' is up too, I get it now."】
【Now that you've broken through to the Core Formation realm, and "Half-Emperor for a Thousand Ages" has pushed your cultivation to the fourth revolution of Core Formation...】
【Combined with the support of numerous trait tags...】
【You feel it's time to go find that Old Hag and take back what's rightfully yours!】
【"Old bastard, you've 'bullied' the Ten Thousand Souls Banner away for all these years—you've had your fun, time to give it back! Chen Two! Give me a location!"】
【Over these years, Chen Two has been squatting alone near Myriad Treasures Child Goddess's lair.】
【An old man with a cultivation level so low—merely at the Postnatal Martial Artist realm—he was as insignificant as an ant in the Real Realm.】
【Which ironically made the Alien Race too lazy to even notice him.】
【That's how he managed to complete this long-term surveillance mission.】
【It's also thanks to Chen Two's initial state being in his fifties—otherwise, he'd have died of old age just squatting there.】
【Chen Two reported his current location to you and told you that the Old Hag wasn't home and hadn't returned for a long time—she might have gone on a long trip.】
【"Whether she's home or not, I'm going to find her and settle the score!"】
【You could feel that you were just a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the "Mountain-Bearing" Divine Ability.】
【So you didn't rush on your way to find the Old Hag.】
【You observed the mountains, gazed at the waters, and sat watching the winds rise and clouds roll by.】
【The myriad things of heaven and earth seemed to come alive before your eyes, whispering to you of the endless ages of change and transformation.】
【Their confessions were occasionally laced with the secrets of the most powerful force within heaven and earth.】
【You captured these whispers, mulled them over in your heart repeatedly, and from them comprehended a mysterious power.】
【Finally, you comprehended your first Divine Ability—Mountain-Bearing!】
【Now, as long as you activate this Divine Ability, even a casual punch would unleash enough force to blast through a massive mountain.】
【If conditions allowed, bearing the weight of a several-hundred-meter-tall mountain would indeed be no problem.】
【Under normal circumstances, using a Divine Ability should consume divine power.】
【But divine power is a force only possessed at the Extreme Terrain Realm—formed from the advancement of primordial energy.】
【So for now, each time you use a Divine Ability, it consumes primordial energy.】
【Since primordial energy is lower-grade compared to divine power, using a Divine Ability would drain roughly seventy to eighty percent of your primordial energy.】
【"Using Divine Abilities directly is a bit lame—applying them into techniques is what a real cultivator does."】
【As long as you successfully apply an Earth Fiend Divine Ability, regardless of the original technique's quality, it will immediately be elevated to third-grade, becoming a Divine Art!】
【You don't have an existing Divine Art for "Mountain-Bearing," so applying the Divine Ability into techniques you've already mastered is essentially equivalent to creating a new technique from scratch.】
【The difficulty is enormous.】
【So you can't rush it—first handle the important business.】
【You arrived at Myriad Treasures Child Goddess's lair.】
【She lived in a Daoist temple on a desolate mountain.】
【Surprisingly, you actually found purely Eastern-style architecture in the Real Realm, along with elements everywhere that revealed human world cultural characteristics.】
【Eaves, lanterns, carved beams, brackets...】
【You met up with Chen Two and absorbed him back into your body.】
【"Boss, although the Old Hag isn't home, there are servants and disciples in the temple. Not many, but they won't be easy to deal with either."】
【"Are they at a high realm?"】
【"Probably not as high as yours, but they definitely all have Spiritual Treasures given to them by the Old Hag."】
【"What do you mean 'their Spiritual Treasures'—those are 'my Spiritual Treasures'!"】
