Copying Divine Abilities
Blank Heavenly Evolving Stones are generally Pale Azure, but once Divine Ability are inscribed on them, the color will gradually change, becoming black or red depending on the Divine Ability inscribed on them.
However, the Divine Ability Stele that Jin Lianri took out was not only a matter of color; its core also had a round hole about the size of a thumb.
Because of this defect, the entire Divine Ability Stele is completely unusable. Not to mention the various Divine Ability it contains, it is not sturdy enough to even be used to smash people.
However, upon seeing the dark stone, Qi Yulong's face revealed undisguised joy, and his right hand unconsciously reached out, as if wanting to touch the stone tablet.
Seeing this, Jin Lianri calmly pulled the Divine Ability Stele back a little, and said with a half-smile, "Daoist Friends, shouldn't you also take out your share?"
"Daoist Friends Jin is even more impatient than I, a demon."
Withdrawing his right hand, Qi Yulong replied irritably, without further ado, and with a flick of his left hand, a black stone bead appeared in his palm.
The moment the stone bead appeared, the Divine Ability Stele, which had previously resembled an ordinary stone, reacted instantly, with beams of black light shooting out and illuminating the stone bead.
The latter trembled slightly, drawn by the black light, and disappeared into the core gap.
Buzz!
Black light cascaded down like a waterfall, and colorful Spirit Mark, ranging from light to dark, appeared on the surface of the stone tablet. The Spirit Mark intertwined and outlined, slowly forming eighteen different images.
A hand that blots out the sky, a dark vortex, flames that scorch the heavens, Thunder, a domineering Long Spear, a peerless Precious Sword, a mysterious figure, a deep, dark cage...
These are Divine Ability imprints, a total of eighteen, meaning that the stone tablet in front of us contains eighteen kinds of Divine Ability.
From Jin Lianri's perspective, the three highest-level Divine Abilities were not simply Golden Core Divine Abilities.
Law Technique vary in strength, and supernatural Divine Ability are no exception.
The Divine Ability in this world can be divided into five realms: Lower Divine Ability, Upper Divine Ability, Greater Divine Ability, Supreme Divine Ability, and Unrivaled Divine Ability.
These five realms of Divine Ability can be further subdivided into Twelve Heavens, with the first three realms each corresponding to two heavens and the last two realms each corresponding to three heavens.
The two levels of Lower Divine Ability correspond to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms.
The two levels of Upper Divine Ability correspond to the realms of Spirit Transformation and Sage Manifestation.
The two levels of Greater Divine Ability correspond to the two realms of Void Refinement and Body Integration.
The first level of the Supreme Divine Ability corresponds to Bandit Cultivator, while the latter two levels correspond to Immortals and Gods in the Immortal Realm.
As for Unrivaled Divine Ability, each one possesses earth-shattering might, capable of destroying the world with ease.
It is said that such Divine Ability have even touched upon the Void Great Dao, and those Immortals and Gods are renowned even in the Immortal Realm, and can be considered great figures.
Of course, the cultivation realm corresponding to the Twelve Heavens of Divine Ability is not absolute. To be precise, this only applies to ordinary cultivators. If there are exceptionally talented individuals with amazing comprehension, they can also cultivate Divine Ability across realms.
For example, Lin Yingyue, the sect leader of the Six Desires Red Dust Sect, cultivated the Upper Divine Ability "Red Dust Purgatory" to the second level with her Spirit Transformation Body, and was even able to fight against Sage Manifestation.
However, for ordinary people, it is already extremely difficult to cultivate supernatural Divine Ability corresponding to their own realm to Great Achievement. Cultivating Divine Ability across realms is just a beautiful dream that can only be looked at but not reached.
The Divine Abilities currently before Jin Lianri are mostly at the Lower First Stage Heaven, that is, Golden Core Divine Abilities. Such Divine Abilities are actually not uncommon. A Late Golden Core cultivator who has lived for four or five hundred years can create them as long as he has enough comprehension.
However, Nascent Soul Divine Ability supernatural abilities above the Second Heaven become precious, and even Nascent Soul forces have to pay attention to them. Therefore, Jin Lianri's attention was mostly drawn to these three lower-level Second Heaven Divine Abilities, as was Zheng Qiufeng's.
These three Nascent Soul Divine Ability correspond to the three imprints: the Black-Mist Figure, the Heaven-Shrouding Hand, and the peerless Precious Sword.
"Three Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Divine Ability! The Dragon Valley Sect's foundation is truly profound!" Jin Lianri observed for a moment, then looked up in surprise.
As far as he knew, Dragon Valley Sect more than two hundred years ago should have been just an ordinary Golden Core sect, without even Late Golden Core cultivator. It was one thing for them to have Golden Core Divine Abilities of the Lower First Stage Heaven, but how could they have as many as three Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Divine Abilities?
"It was just a slight fortuitous opportunity." Qi Yulong waved his hand, his expression complicated. "Besides, even if I had three second-level Divine Abilities, so what? If I couldn't cultivate them, they'd be nothing but decorations."
After saying this, before Jin Lianri could speak again, Qi Yulong took out a bottle of milky white Spirit Liquid and poured it onto the Divine Ability Stele.
Jin Lianri did not stop them. He recognized the Spirit Liquid as "Spirit-Nourishing Milk," which was specially used to repair the damage to treasures and replenish their lost essence.
Although the Divine Ability Stele has been restored to its original state, it was broken in two over two hundred years ago. Without proper repair, its use could easily lead to further damage.
Buzz!
The Spirit-Nourishing Milk quickly seeped into the Divine Ability Stele. Immediately afterwards, streams of warm, water-like light bloomed, and colorful Spirit Mark appeared and disappeared, creating a truly magnificent sight.
A quarter of an hour later, the radiance subsided, the Divine Ability Stele was completely restored, and a sense of harmony quietly emanated from it.
Then, Qi Yulong took the blank Heavenly Evolving Stone in his hand, his brow twitched slightly, and his Divine Sense surged forth, instantly constructing a Transfer Channel.
The connection was established, and the blank Heavenly Evolving Stone trembled slightly. On the surface of the stone, the Pale Azure Spirit Mark began to writhe, as if recording something.
This process took quite a long time, almost half an hour, before all eighteen Divine Ability were copied.
Withdrawing his Divine Sense, Qi Yulong picked up the Heavenly Evolving Stone, which had turned jet black, and examined it carefully in his palm. After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction and carefully put it into his Storage Ring.
Jin Lianri, on the other side, was also inspecting the Divine Ability Stele, mainly because he was afraid that Qi Yulong might do something underhanded. One can never be too careful, especially with this demon in front of him.
After a while, once he had checked the Divine Ability Stele and confirmed that there were no problems, Jin Lianri put it away. Then he took out a sum of resources from his Storage Ring and gave it to Qi Yulong. This was to make up for the consumption of the Heavenly Evolving Stone and Spirit-Nourishing Milk, all according to the agreement made earlier.
The latter briefly checked the resources, then with a flick of his sleeve collected them, and smiled faintly, "What, aren't Daoist Friends two opening the Formation? Are you going to keep me here as a guest?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Lianri cupped his hands in greeting and chuckled, "Hehe, Daoist Friends Qi, don't be impatient. You previously said that the Six Desires Red Dust Sect wouldn't attack my Gold and Silver Alliance. Was that because of Senior Chen? Could it be that the rumor is true, and that Senior Chen really has a deep friendship with the Red Dust Demon Venerable?"
"You don't know?" Qi Yulong asked with a strange expression.
"Know what?" Jin Lianri and Zheng Qiufeng looked completely bewildered.
Qi Yulong frowned slightly, then smiled knowingly after a moment, "That's right. Your Immortal Dao suffered a great loss in this battle, and even Sage Manifestation perished. Suppressing the spread of the news is the only reasonable course of action."
"The Sage Manifestation has fallen!"
Jin Lianri exclaimed in surprise, and he and Zheng Qiufeng looked on in astonishment, pressing for an explanation. "What exactly happened? Please, Daoist Friends, tell us!"
Seeing their reaction, Qi Yulong didn't linger any longer and briefly explained what had happened.
