The natural advancement of Divine Abilities and Secret Arts was not exactly unheard of. After many martial artists made major breakthroughs in cultivation, the Divine Abilities and Secret Arts they cultivated would undergo a qualitative transformation because their cultivation had crossed into a major realm.
Such transformations often greatly increased the power of Divine Abilities and Secret Arts, while changes in form occurred only occasionally. Those cases were exceedingly rare.
Ye Zhen was astonished because his situation belonged to the latter.
