Holy crap, I actually awakened an Innate Divine Ability! Hearing the system's notification in his mind, Ye Jing felt a storm surge through his heart.
Divine Abilities were methods used by the Gods of Heaven and Earth to repel their enemies. Yet some Peerless Prodigies could still glimpse a trace of their mysteries while at the Peak of Humanity.
Even that mere trace could make them invincible among their peers. At the same level, only another Peerless Prodigy who had grasped the mysteries of a Divine Ability could contend with them.
The Six-Eared Macaque was a Heavenly Demon, a being who stood above the Gods of Heaven and Earth. His Innate Divine Ability, All Things Have Names, was a true Great Divine Ability, far beyond what ordinary Divine Abilities could match.
What was more, the commentary had said that the Six-Eared Macaque ranked only thirty-sixth on the Heavenly Demon Ranking, having only just made the list.
Ye Jing's heart pounded several times. The Six-Eared Macaque, who could fight the Buddha Lord of his era, had only just made the ranking! He couldn't imagine what sort of beings the thirty-five Heavenly Demons above him were, or what Great Divine Abilities he might be able to glean from them.
Ye Jing closed the Ancient Heavenly Demon Ranking and stopped reading. He tucked the other two Ancient Texts into his robes as well.
Since those two had also been written by the same person, how could they be all that inferior to the Ancient Heavenly Demon Ranking? He could study them properly when he had time.
