Divine pills could not directly raise a cultivator's cultivation, but high-grade divine pills contained fragments of the Great Dao, born from the alchemist's comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Taking one was like stepping directly into the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, making comprehension twice as effective with half the effort.
The higher the grade of a divine pill, the higher the level of the Great Dao fragments it contained, and the greater the benefits to a cultivator. However, low-level cultivators had limited capacity for comprehension. Even if a Saint God expert refined a Nine Revolutions Divine Pill for them, they would still struggle to understand the insights of the Great Dao laid out before them.
It was like a college student showing a grade-schooler the steps to solve a problem. The child still wouldn't understand.
That was why the grade of a pill a cultivator took couldn't be too far above their own level; otherwise, it would be wasted. This was also why Ling Tian hadn't gone straight for Four-, Five-, or even Six-Revolutions Divine Pills, and had taken only Three-Revolutions Divine Pills instead.
Ling Tian's Nascent Soul cultivation had already reached the Partial God level. The Great Dao fragments within a Three-Revolutions Divine Pill contained the insights of an Orthodox God expert, making them just right for him to comprehend.
As the saying went, cultivation depended greatly on a solid foundation. One had to advance step by step.
Besides the alchemist's comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, divine pills often contained insights into a particular Law Power. For instance, the pill Ling Tian had taken contained Fire Attribute Law Power, and its insights were quite profound. This would also greatly help Ling Tian comprehend the Fire Attribute.
