However!
Cheng Buzheng instinctively leaned toward the first three divine abilities:
[Sword Opens Heaven Gate], [Heaven-and-Earth Sword], [World-Purifying Dharma Sword].
For no other reason than that he possessed metal, Wood, and Fire spiritual roots.
If he chose divine abilities that matched his own spiritual roots for elevation, he would surely wield them with greater ease, and their power would receive a corresponding boost.
However, the moment this thought arose, he overturned it himself.
"No!" Cheng Buzheng's gaze flickered.
"Now that I have preliminarily comprehended the five fundamental laws of metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, although I have only just crossed the threshold, reaching the stage of condensing law runes for each of them is merely a matter of steady grinding and time.
At that point, reshaping my spiritual roots with the power of laws and turning myself into one with Saint spiritual-root aptitude would not be difficult.
In the future, spiritual-root attributes will no longer be the bottleneck restricting the power of divine abilities!"
Since the advantage of spiritual roots was no longer a decisive factor, he needed to broaden his thinking.

Not only might its might undergo a qualitative transformation, but in terms of versatility, adaptability...
it may also possess advantages that no single divine ability
