Abilities & Skills

Regeneration

The Secret of Zhe grants extreme restorative power, described as allowing its user to regenerate from a single drop of blood. It can rapidly restore destroyed flesh, bones, and even a ruptured Sea of Bitterness. 151

• Ye Huaian regenerated his pierced Sea of Bitterness, burst eyes, skin, and bodily injuries while using the Secret of Zhe. 151
• After being nearly torn apart and later severed at the waist, Ye Huaian's scattered flesh and bones reassembled and regenerated. 152
• Wang Xuan used Zhe to restore his Saint body after the Immortal-Slaying Platform's Heavenly Punishment split him into upper and lower halves. 176
• Its healing can be delayed when regenerative flesh is continuously destroyed by hostile power, such as Nirvana Divine Fire and Chaos Divine Power. 151 152
• The secret's restorative power was sufficient to eventually suppress the Nirvana Divine Fire at Ye Huaian's severed waist, though the process left his aura weakened by more than half. 152
• Zhe can cooperate with the Blood Phoenix Nirvana Technique. During Wang Xuan's tribulation, its activation spread a clear radiance that nourished his severed remains, while his own Nirvana Divine Fire enveloped and tempered them, allowing the halves to heal, regenerate, and fuse at high speed. 176

Life and Death

The Secret of Zhe was pioneered by Longevity Heavenly Venerable. Its ultimate principles encompass the cycle of life and death: nurturing death with life and generating life from death. 258

• Longevity Heavenly Venerable incorporated Zhe's principles of creation and extinction into a sword strike, with one half embodying life-creating power and the other causing laws to decay and return to ruin. 258
• The Reincarnation Ring reversed and dispersed the life-and-death principles within this sword light, demonstrating that Zhe's power can be countered by sufficiently profound reincarnation power. 258

Nine Secrets Integration

Zhe is one of the nine ancient characters comprising the Nine Secrets: Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Shu, Zu, Qian, and Xing. When united, the characters manifest as ancient divine light with the power to suppress space and time. 152 160 249

• Wang Xuan invoked Zhe together with the other Eight Secrets while fighting the Silver Blood Ancestral King. 160
• Zhe was branded into the Dragon Horse's brow as part of Wang Xuan's transmission of the complete Nine Secrets. 249
