The Zhao Household's Remnants
A booming, resonant voice swept past his ears, causing Yang Tianyou to stiffen, his mind suddenly flooded with a wealth of unfamiliar knowledge.
He knew that this was the gain from observing the giant hand before him; the better one's comprehension, the greater the gain within a given timeframe!
Boom!
The thought flashed through his mind, and the colossal hand that blotted out the sky slammed down. In an instant, a huge handprint appeared in the very center of the once towering, magnificent mountains, where countless lives perished and more than a dozen peaks were reduced to dust.
Upon seeing this scene, Yang Tianyou's eyelids twitched violently, but what followed was a fervent admiration for this superhuman power.
After all, which cultivator wouldn't want to possess such power to the Moving Mountains and overturn seas, to destroy the heavens and the earth?
And so, within the consciousness space of the Divine Ability Stele, Yang Tianyou repeatedly observed the colossal palm that blotted out the sky, watching the mountains before him suffer again and again, until he could hardly bear to watch.
Finally, three days passed. Yang Tianyou, who was still trying to comprehend the "One-Qi Capturing Hand", suddenly felt light in his body. When he came to his senses, Jin Lianri was looking at him with a smile.
"Tianyou, how is your comprehension?" Jin Lianri asked.
"Reporting to Senior, I have not failed in my mission!" Yang Tianyou stood up, gave a slight bow, and smiled as well.
"Good. To be able to comprehend the Golden Core Divine Ability within three days while still at the Foundation Establishment stage, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Jin Lianri's Shen Yi lit up as he spoke gently.
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything more. What he had comprehended was not the Golden Core Divine Ability, but the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Divine Ability, or even more.
The One-Qi Capturing Hand is Divine Ability of the Dharma-Protecting War God Way lineage; it is actually an exclusive Divine Ability for those Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body.
The Daoist Sect calls the Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body "the Dharma-Protecting War God Way," the Buddhist Sect calls it "the Guardian Vajra Dao," and the Devil Cultivators call it "the Blood Prison Asura Dao."
The War God Way, the Vajra Dao, and the Asura Dao are all ultimately Dao of Combat. The Divine Ability cultivated through these paths are mostly suited for fighting, such as this One-Qi Capturing Hand.
It is said that after cultivating to the highest level, one can achieve "continuous energy, lasting for sixty years without ceasing!", and is most adept at prolonged combat, making it a Divine Ability that can be used as a regular combat tactic.
Moreover, besides combat, the numerous Spirit Mark contained within this supernatural Divine Ability are of great benefit to Body Cultivator cultivation.
Of course, what surprised Yang Tianyou the most was that the second level of the lower level was far from the limit of this Divine Ability. The second level of the divine Divine Ability recorded on the Divine Ability Stele was only the first two levels of the One-Qi Capturing Hand.
According to the information he obtained from the Divine Ability Stele, when this Divine Ability is complete, it is at least Upper Divine Ability, and it is even possible that it is Greater Divine Ability.
Moreover, if a cultivator has exceptional talent, they can continue to deduce that the legendary "Innate One Qi Grasping Hand" is Supreme Divine Ability.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Tianyou and Jin Lianri left the Bamboo House together. Yang Haoyu was waiting anxiously outside. When he saw Yang Tianyou and Jin Lianri come out, he quickly went up to ask them what was going on.
"How is it, Tianyou? Have you grasped the Divine Ability yet?"
Seeing Yang Tianyou nod with a smile, a genuine smile also appeared on her face.
Although the Yang Household obtained many Cultivation Method manuals from the Dragon Valley Scripture Repository, only two of them contained Divine Ability, which were recorded on Jade Slips.
She was puzzled at the time, but after learning about the Divine Ability Stele, she suddenly understood.
Yang Tianyou has now mastered one Divine Ability, plus another he obtained from the Dragon Valley Scripture Repository (he and the Zhao Household each received a Divine Ability Jade Slip, since this thing cannot be copied before it is Great Achievement mastered, except with treasures like the Heavenly Evolving Stone). He now possesses two Divine Abilities.
Although Yang Tianyou's newly acquired Divine Ability can only be used by himself for the time being, it has ultimately entered the Yang Household's fold, so it doesn't really matter who gets to use it.
Moreover, Jin Lianri did not forbid Yang Tianyou from passing on the Divine Ability he had comprehended to the Lineage. Once the latter broke through to the Golden Core Great Achievement and mastered the Divine Ability, or if the Lineage obtained a Heavenly Evolving Stone, they could preserve the Divine Ability power and pass it down through generations.
Isn't that how Lineage's heritage is built up, little by little?
Not long after Yang Tianyou had comprehended the Divine Ability, Jin Lianri took his leave.
According to the Old Ancestor, it was because the battle in Yellowstone Market was getting intense that the Golden Core Cultivator 'Taihao True Person' sent by the Luochuan Sect personally sent a message to invite Jin Lianri and Zheng Qiufeng to come and provide support.
After all, they were on someone else's territory, so they couldn't very well refuse. In addition, with the news of the defeat in Mo Province, the situation facing the Gold and Silver Alliance began to become delicate. Therefore, after receiving the message, Jin Lianri and Zheng Qiufeng set off without much hesitation.
At the Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Tianyou and his Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu sat facing each other, chatting in a very natural and harmonious atmosphere.
"Tianyou, is the One-Qi Capturing Hand you've mastered truly a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Divine Ability at the Second Heaven?" Yang Haoyu asked incredulously, his face showing surprise.
"Of course, your grandson would never lie to you," Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
"Little rascal, but your talent is truly unexpected. To comprehend a Nascent Soul Divine Ability divine ability in just three days is rare even among the major sects, isn't it?"
"Understanding is one thing, but whether I can cultivate it into Seeds Divine Ability is another matter entirely. Moreover, First Heaven level of Divine Ability has four stages: entry, Minor Achievement, Great Achievement, and perfection. I'm still far from where I started; I haven't even seen a Divine Ability Prototype yet. I'm still a long way off."
"Hehe, it's good to remain humble, but don't underestimate yourself either. A cultivator's conviction is sometimes more important than talent itself."
"Of course I know that, thank you for the Old Ancestor!"
Taking a sip of tea, Yang Tianyou seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Old Ancestor, how is the Zhao Household doing now? Those remnants must be dealt with as soon as possible; we must nip them in the bud. The sooner the better."
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu smiled and said, "Do you need to tell me? When has the Old Ancestor ever made a mistake?"
With a light scolding, Yang Haoyu's expression turned serious, and he recounted the various circumstances surrounding the Zhao Household.
After Bianhe Mountain was breached, all the Foundation Establishment of the Zhao Household who were defending it, including the Zhao Household Ancestor Zhao Leicong, perished. Only one in ten Qi Refining cultivators remained, and now only a dozen or so Qi Refining are desperately guarding Bianhe Mountain.
Border River Town was also ravaged by Devil Cultivators, resulting in heavy casualties among Mortals.
However, due to the desperate resistance of the Zhao Household's Foundation Establishment stationed there, although they died in battle, they also delayed the attack for a long time. After the Dragon Valley Patrol Envoys arrived, he stopped the Devil Cultivators ' atrocities in time, and the more than 200,000 Mortals were not all killed or injured.
According to news brought back by the Lineage spies, there are still about 100,000 Mortal remaining in Border River Town, which is more than the population of Yang Household Purple Moon Town.
As for the Zhao Household Remnants family who were used as a backup plan by Zhao Leicong, they were led by Zhao Zongkun and Zhao Zongbin, along with a Second-Tier Middle-Grade Gold-Piercing Falcon. There should be twenty or thirty members of the Lineage at the Qi Refining Realm. This information was all calculated.
The spy planted by the Yang Household holds a high position in the Zhao Household and has been included in the backup plan this time.
However, after the Zhao Household's downfall, this spy seemed to have other ideas and was no longer willing to provide intelligence to the Yang Household.
Faced with this situation, Yang Haoyu merely smiled with a hint of contempt, showing no concern whatsoever. Clearly, he had some means of restraint, or other backup plan.
Yang Tianyou was not surprised by this. If she couldn't even handle such a fickle person, then she wouldn't be Yang Haoyu.
