Mastering the Divine Ability
The improvement in Body Cultivator Aptitude is immediate. Yang Tianyou practiced the One-Qi Capturing Hand again, and the process was incredibly smooth. In just half a month, the Divine Ability Seed was successfully condensed in his chest, that is, in the upper Dantian area.
Yang Tianyou looked inward at himself, and a pale golden palm filled his entire field of vision.
Golden lines swirled around his palm, emanating an aura of perfect unity and unwavering stability.
"Is this the One-Qi Capturing Hand? Let's go out and test its power!" Yang Tianyou muttered to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He stood up, pushed open the stone door, and stepped out.
Sensing the commotion, the Fengling approached and excitedly circled around him.
Yang Tianyou stroked Fengling's soft fur and walked into the courtyard, to the front of the Martial Practice Ground.
At this time, the weather was fine and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky. In just over ten days, the temperature between heaven and earth rose sharply, and the snow on the ground was melting rapidly, turning into snow water that nourishes all things and seeps into the earth.
"The universe is vast and boundless, my path Flourishing daily. With a single breath, I can conquer ten thousand miles; all who stand in my way are utterly defeated!"
Facing the blazing sun high in the sky, Yang Tianyou was moved to speak, letting out a long laugh that reverberated through the heavens.
As his laughter subsided, he spread his five fingers as if pulling up the clouds and wind, and with an extremely slow yet incredibly domineering gesture, he struck out with his palm.
Buzz!
With a single palm strike, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth surged forth, and in the blink of an eye, a massive golden palm, several dozen feet in size, materialized.
The golden palm is incredibly lifelike, just like a normal person's palm. The palm lines, blood vessels, nails, and joints are all perfectly placed, yet it is filled with an astonishingly powerful force.
An immense pressure suddenly filled the sky, bending the newly sprouted grass at the edge of the Martial Practice Ground.
Not far away, Fengling looked at the golden palm floating in mid-air with a hint of fear. Its keen senses allowed it to clearly perceive the domineering power contained within the golden palm.
As Yang Tianyou pressed down with his palm facing down, a storm arose, and his golden palm suddenly shone with unparalleled brilliance. Amidst the intricate and complex Spirit Mark, it slammed down fiercely.
Boom!!
The earth shook violently, and sand and stones flew everywhere!
The ground of the Martial Practice Ground was formed by Law Technique suppression, and every part of it was as hard as bluestone. However, under this palm strike, it crumbled like scattered gravel at the first touch, instantly breaking into large and small clods of earth.
With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind blew by, and the dust in the Martial Practice Ground gradually dissipated, revealing a golden palm standing motionless amidst the ruins, like a five-fingered mountain.
It did not dissipate, which is precisely what makes the One-Qi Capturing Hand special. The golden palm formed by this Divine Ability power is not only constructed of Spiritual Power, but also contains the Blood Qi of Body Cultivator, as well as a portion of the Soul Power.
The combined power of these elements forms One-Qi Capturing Hand, which is almost equivalent to half a real hand. Although it cannot exist forever, it can last for an hour or two, which is the secret to its ability to fight continuously.
More importantly, after unleashing this palm strike, Yang Tianyou did not quickly exhaust himself as he did when using "Ten Thousand Jun".
On the contrary, he felt that the golden palm was like an extension of his limbs, requiring little Blood Qi and Spiritual Power, and allowing him to fight for a long time.
No wonder it is said that when one cultivates to a high level, one can "continue in one breath for sixty years without end!" This kind of Divine Ability is indeed suitable for prolonged battles and is worthy of being the exclusive Battle Divine Ability of the War God Way.
Of course, the One-Qi Capturing Hand also has its drawbacks, namely its slow speed.
If you want to defeat your enemy with this move, you must first restrict their movements. Otherwise, with this speed of attack, you can only defend yourself, not make any real progress.
However, Yang Tianyou was not worried about this. He had an advantage that many Cultivators did not have: he was good at Talisman Crafting and had a very high success rate.
Yang Tianyou's success rate in refining Second-Rank Low-Grade Talisman can now reach 80% to 90%. His talent in Talisman Crafting is far greater than his talent in cultivation.
If his cultivation aptitude can be called genius-level, then his talisman-drawing aptitude is undoubtedly monstrous-level.
So far, Yang Tianyou has not encountered Talisman that have puzzled him.
He can understand the structure of any unfamiliar Talisman within an hour of receiving Talisman, and even draw it; this has become second nature to him.
Of course, the Talisman here refer to those of the same rank or one grade higher. Yang Tianyou is still not capable of Talisman too high a rank. After all, even a prodigy needs to grow. A prodigy represents potential, not omniscience and omnipotence.
With such efficient Talisman Crafting ability, Yang Tianyou's fighting style can be extremely comprehensive. If there is a weakness in a certain aspect, he can use Talisman to plug that weakness.
For example, Yang Tianyou has many Talisman that can solve the problem of the One-Qi Capturing Hand's slow speed. The Long River Talisman can control the domain, the Wooden Cage Talisman can seal with vines, the Heavy Peak Talisman can suppress gravity, and so on.
Given enough materials and the method to make Talisman, Yang Tianyou can solve most problems.
Buzz!
With a thought, the golden palm trembled slightly, then disintegrated into countless streams of light, a mixture of golden and bloody light, which flowed into Yang Tianyou's body.
Visibly, his previously pale complexion regained its rosy hue, a phenomenon caused by the reverse flow of Blood Qi and energy.
Yang Tianyou stroked his chin and revealed a satisfied smile. Then, he lightly waved his sleeve, and the corpse of a huge, lion-like, tiger-like Demon Beast covered in golden scales appeared. It was the Golden-Scaled Beast.
With the One-Qi Capturing Hand, its offensive capabilities are actually sufficient, but the speed of this Divine Ability is indeed a drawback. Even with the assistance of binding and domain-type Talisman, Yang Tianyou still wants more offensive methods.
The Blade Formation Talisman is quite good; its attack speed is fast enough, and more importantly, it can benefit from the Great White Blade Intent.
As for the level, that's not a problem. The Blade Formation Talisman that Yang Tianyou drew before was only the lowest level, Second-Rank Low-Grade- grade Talisman, with four long swords engraved on it.
As the number of longswords increases and the number of basic runes grows, the power of these Talisman will naturally rise accordingly.
According to the "Yang Clan Talisman Scripture", the Blade Formation Talisman is engraved with two to four long swords and is Second-Rank Low-Grade Talisman.
If it depicts five to twelve long swords, it is Second-Tier Middle-Grade Talisman.
A talisman depicting thirteen to twenty-four long swords is considered Second-Tier Upper-Grade Talisman.
As for Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Talisman, they require the inscription of at least thirty-six longswords. Those Blade Formation Talisman, if used properly, can even annihilate Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator in one strike, making them incredibly terrifying.
Looking at the golden Demon Beast corpse before him, Yang Tianyou had a thought. Starlight flew out, followed by a surge of Spiritual Power that poured into it.
The blade flashed and crisscrossed in the courtyard; in just a moment, a complete golden Beast Hide was cut off.
After putting away the Beast Hide, Yang Tianyou continued his work. Before long, he had several bottles of golden blood in his hand, which were the Essence Blood of the Golden-Scaled Beast.
After storing the remaining Demon Beast corpses in his Storage Ring, Yang Tianyou returned to his room, went to his study, and began making Blank Talisman Paper and Spirit Ink.
After doing all this, another two hours passed. He had refined one piece of Golden-Scaled Beast into two Blank Talisman Papers, and he had more Spirit Ink, three boxes in total.
With all the materials prepared, Yang Tianyou held the Azure Rainbow Talisman Brush in his palm, took a deep breath, adjusted his state of mind, and began to draw talismans with a clear and untroubled mind!
