Xuandu possesses a formidable defensive divine ability, derived from the North Sea Black Tortoise, which grants him physical durability that rivals that of a Chaos Demon God. This ability allows him to withstand extreme forces, such as the Calamity Light Orb of the Creation Tribulation, without relying on external artifacts 123.

Chaos Divine Light
By combining Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light with the Golden-Winged Great Peng's Yin Yang Two Qi, Xuandu evolved a more powerful Chaos Divine Light. This divine ability carries the profundities of the Five Elements and Yin Yang, and can overwhelm opponents whose power remains bound to the Heavenly Dao 83 193.

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones
Xuandu acquired the Supreme Divine Ability One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones through White Guard's entry into the Jie Sect. Although White Guard possessed only an incomplete understanding of the technique, Xuandu used the Jie Sect's accumulated comprehension feedback to derive its deeper operation 401 402.

Blood God Son Method
Xuandu acquired the Blood God Son Method through the feedback generated when Nether River joined the Jie Sect. It permits him to create Blood God Son avatars and provides an exceptionally resilient means of survival through the Nether Blood Sea 273.
- Mass Avatar Creation: Can create four hundred eighty million Blood God Son avatars dispersed across the Blood Sea and Netherworld 273.
- Rebirth Safeguard: So long as the Blood God Son foundation remains in the Nether Blood Sea, Xuandu can restore himself even after catastrophic harm to his body or True Spirit 273.
System and Fortune
The Total Sum System serves as the primary engine for Xuandu’s cultivation, acting as a catalyst that translates external events, sect developments, and strategic acquisitions into tangible power. By leveraging various "Sum" functions, the system allows Xuandu to capitalize on the growth of the Jie Sect and the Human Race, effectively turning collective fortune and individual achievements into personal breakthroughs and divine abilities. This mechanism ensures that Xuandu’s cultivation remains ahead of his peers, often manifesting as profound anomalies that resonate with heaven and earth.
- Root Sum Feedback: Unlocked upon Kong Xuan joining the Jie Sect, this function provides the necessary foundation for Xuandu to improve his innate roots and pursue breakthroughs into higher realms, such as the Primordial Golden Immortal 15.
- Cultivation Technique Sum Feedback: A function that allows Xuandu to bypass the difficulties of traditional comprehension by focusing on the system's feedback, enabling him to advance his cultivation even when standard methods prove challenging 26.

- Human Race Feedback: The cultivation and advancement of the Myriad Human Race through the Martial Dao continuously strengthens Xuandu, linking his own progress to the rise of humanity 56 104 116.
- Chaos Feedback: Cultivation beyond the Great Wilderness permits Xuandu to receive feedback from Chaos itself, accelerating both his cultivation and pedigree transformations 287 309.
- Discipleship Expansion: Xuandu deliberately recruits exceptional beings into the Jie Sect because their cultivation, roots, techniques, and divine abilities become available to his system's feedback functions 9 80 401.
- Stored Feedback: Xuandu can defer the extraction of accumulated cultivation feedback indefinitely, allowing him to conceal sudden advances and refine the stored power at a chosen time 5.
- Heavenly-Domain Feedback: The Jie Sect branch in the Xuandi Heavenly Domain supplies further feedback through its newly recruited Chaos cultivators. Refining this power aided Xuandu's advance to the Middle Stage of Primordial Taiji and his Mid-grade Primordial Pedigree Origin 512 543.
