The divine art used when a Kun Race Demi-God transformed into a Peng and ascended to godhood corresponded to divine arts like the Flame God Ascension Method · Unyielding Starfire, which Xu Kun had mastered upon entering the first floor of the Haotian Pagoda.

Transforming from Kun to Peng was not exclusive to gods. Every member of the Kun Race could master this ability.
