The Spear Art Created by the Heavenly God (Seeking Follow-up Reads!)

"Beyond the Three Realms lies an endless void. Within that void exist powerful stars, stars so formidable that even those renowned throughout the Three Realms would find them difficult to destroy."

The Yellow-Haired Great Bear appeared beside Lei Zhan. "I believe you have seen it for yourself. If the divine ability my master left behind is cultivated to a profound level, plucking the sun and grasping the moon is no mere fantasy."

Lei Zhan nodded gently.

He naturally understood the power of this divine ability. The Star-Plucking Hand created by Daoist Sanshou, when cultivated to its highest level, turned one's palms into something akin to magical treasures.

If combined with the divine ability Three Heads and Six Arms, the combat power would be even more heaven-defying, making it as easy as eating or drinking to fight opponents of a higher rank.

"Very well." The Yellow-Haired Great Bear pointed to a massive prayer mat in the distance. "Since you have received the benefit, go to the mat and pay your respects to my master."

"Understood." Lei Zhan nodded.

The Star-Plucking Hand was a great divine ability that countless top experts and even mighty figures across the Three Realms dreamed of. Having received such a boon today, Lei Zhan knew he had to show his gratitude.

Moreover, the debt of one who imparts knowledge and teaches the Way is as heavy as a mountain.

Lei Zhan walked forward, reached the massive prayer mat, and knelt down.

Whoosh~~~

The moment Lei Zhan knelt, a towering figure, a thousand feet tall, suddenly appeared on the far side of the altar's top platform, directly in front of him.

This thousand-foot-tall, towering god-demon had bronze-colored skin, a bald head, and wore nothing but a simple, crude animal hide. His physique was almost identical to that of a human, but his most distinctive feature was his arms.

He was a one-armed god-demon. He lacked a left arm, possessing only a right one.

The towering, one-armed figure looked down at Lei Zhan, a faint trace of satisfaction on his face.

"The divine ability has been imparted. Only when you transcend the Heavenly Tribulation and become a Heavenly God may you be considered a disciple of this Daoist Sanshou. Do not slacken, lest you tarnish my reputation."

The towering, one-armed figure was majestic and vast. His remaining right arm gestured slightly toward the kneeling Lei Zhan below.

Whoosh.

In an instant, five streaks of five-colored light flew out and surged directly into Lei Zhan. Then, the towering, one-armed figure dissipated into nothingness.

"Hm? This is..." Lei Zhan felt something, his heart filled with joy, and his face betrayed an irrepressible excitement. This must be the Five Elements Essence left behind by Daoist Sanshou to help the inheritor cultivate the Star-Plucking Hand.

Lei Zhan immediately sat cross-legged. The five streaks of five-colored light surged into his body, and soon, mysterious ripples began to emanate from him.

As he sat, the palms resting on his knees began to emit waves of five-colored light, dazzling like five-colored treasures.

"Whoosh."

As the Star-Plucking Hand technique circulated, the Five Elements Essence continuously merged into his palms. Golden, cyan, water-blue, fiery-red, and deep-yellow lights swirled, gradually beginning to fuse until they transformed into a chaotic hue.

Everything calmed down, and Lei Zhan's palms returned to normal.

"The divine ability Star-Plucking Hand, the first turn is complete." Lei Zhan opened his eyes, a hint of surprise within them. He looked down at his palms and, with a thought, a complex circular divine pattern appeared on each: "This is the Star-Plucking Divine Pattern! Six-Turn Star-Plucking... to reach the second turn, I must wait until my God and Devil Body Refining Path breaks through to the Wanxiang level."

Lei Zhan's mind stirred, and the complex divine pattern retreated deep into his skin, becoming invisible to the naked eye.

One had to realize that every divine ability required long years of cultivation; it could not be achieved overnight.

Even the Law of Heaven and Earth and Three Heads and Six Arms that Lei Zhan cultivated were divided into many stages. One had to break through these stages one by one for the divine ability to improve and its power to grow.

The cultivation method for the Star-Plucking Hand was known as Six-Turn Star-Plucking.

One could only complete the first turn at the Purple Mansion level of the God and Devil Body Refining Path!

The second turn could be completed at the Wanxiang level.

The third turn could be completed at the Primordial Spirit level.

The fourth turn could be completed at the Void Refinement level.

The Six-Turn Star-Plucking divine ability required one to break through a major realm in the God and Devil Body Refining Path before the next turn could be cultivated.

This was a true great divine ability that placed a massive burden on the divine body; if the divine body were not strong enough, it would be impossible to cultivate.

Those great divine abilities renowned throughout the Three Realms generally had high requirements for the divine body.

Take this Star-Plucking Hand for example; if the divine body were strong enough, one could cultivate it all the way to the True God level with almost no bottlenecks. As long as there was enough Five Elements Essence and the divine body was sufficiently powerful, one could reach an incredibly profound level.

Once the Six-Turn Star-Plucking was fully mastered, one's palms could rival Chaos-grade treasures through sheer physical power—treasures far more terrifying than Pure Yang magical treasures or Innate Spirit Treasures.

"Awake? How is it?" The Yellow-Haired Great Bear wore a teasing expression.

"The divine ability passed down by Master Daoist Sanshou is naturally terrifyingly strong. I have a feeling that even though my God and Devil Body Refining is only at the Purple Mansion level, relying solely on this Star-Plucking Hand, I could easily slay those Qi Refinement practitioners at the Wanxiang True Person level. Even against others of the God and Devil Body Refining path at the Wanxiang level, I could use the Star-Plucking Hand to destroy them with some effort." Lei Zhan smiled slightly.

"Master Daoist Sanshou?" The Yellow-Haired Great Bear felt a surge of joy in his heart.

The Yellow-Haired Great Bear continued, "The divine ability 'Star-Plucking Hand' you received is the original version. Even if you become a Heavenly God or even a True God, this divine ability will be more than enough for you to reach the level of the first master."

"Heavenly God, True God?" A hint of anticipation appeared in Lei Zhan's eyes.

"Transcending the Heavenly Tribulation to become a Heavenly God is still too far off for you," the Yellow-Haired Great Bear said. "You need not think about the rest. The human race is inherently intelligent, and your natural talent is extremely high. In the future, after experiencing a thousand tribulations and ten thousand hardships, it is not impossible for you to become a top mighty figure in the Three Realms. Obtaining the master's divine ability now is merely the beginning."

"Understood." Lei Zhan nodded.

"Lei Zhan, now that you have obtained the divine ability, do you wish to continue challenging the War God Hall? With your current strength, if you were to challenge the third floor of the War God Hall, you should have nearly a thirty percent chance of success."

"Thirty percent?"

Lei Zhan shook his head. "Thirty percent is too low. Although my Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map has reached the ninth level, it is only the initial stage of the ninth level. It will take time and effort to polish it to perfection. I will return to challenge the War God Hall once my strength has improved."

The Yellow-Haired Great Bear said no more. "Since you are not challenging the War God Hall, then let us head out. Your master, Immortal Juhua, is likely waiting anxiously."

"Very well." Lei Zhan nodded in agreement.

Outside the Divine Ability Hall, Immortal Juhua stood quietly before the massive, towering bronze gates. He kept his gaze fixed on the enormous hand carved into the doors, his mind lost in thought.

Whoosh~~~

Suddenly, ripples of spatial fluctuations stirred through the area, and two figures appeared.

A handsome youth in black robes and the Yellow-Haired Great Bear.

"Master." Lei Zhan bowed with a smile.

"Hm?" Immortal Juhua looked at Lei Zhan. "Did you succeed?"

"I succeeded." Lei Zhan nodded heavily.

"Good!" Immortal Juhua laughed aloud. "Hahaha, excellent! I, as your master, missed out on this opportunity, but the Great Dao is forty-nine, with one escaping—this opportunity has ultimately been seized by the disciple I took in."

Lei Zhan stood to the side, watching silently. He understood Immortal Juhua; even after living for millions of years, knowing that one was guarding a massive mountain of treasure yet unable to claim it for oneself was a truly agonizing feeling.

"Sigh..." The Yellow-Haired Great Bear also stood by, watching Immortal Juhua's uncharacteristic display of emotion, and sighed softly. Juhua, in the end, was not monstrous enough, and his fortune was lacking, leading to this twist of fate...

A moment later, Immortal Juhua regained his composure, though a trace of irrepressible joy still lingered on his face.

"Senior Great Bear, does the wager you previously made with me still stand?" Immortal Juhua looked toward the Yellow-Haired Great Bear.

"The wager? Naturally, it stands." The Yellow-Haired Great Bear glanced at Immortal Juhua, who was wholeheartedly seeking benefits for his disciple. "Follow me to the main hall."

Although the space in front of the War God Hall was vast, it was not the place for such a conversation.

The most suitable location was the main hall of the immortal abode. In the ancient era, that was where Daoist Sanshou would preach the Dao and host banquets for Gods and Devils. Most importantly, it was spacious!

Lei Zhan and Immortal Juhua followed the Yellow-Haired Great Bear, and as they walked, the Yellow-Haired Great Bear continued to speak.

"Lei Zhan, the spear technique I have found for you was created by a very famous Celestial God from the ancient era. This spear technique was realized through his own battles and slaughter, and it likewise contains his Dao."

"A very famous Celestial God from the ancient era?" Immortal Juhua's pupils constricted as he looked at the Yellow-Haired Great Bear in disbelief.

The spirit of this immortal abode had actually found a spear technique created by a being at the level of a Celestial God for his disciple!

"A Celestial God?" Lei Zhan was also stunned. He had anticipated this possibility earlier, but hearing the Yellow-Haired Great Bear say it now, his heart could not help but beat violently.

To the current Lei Zhan, a Celestial God was still an unreachable existence, but there was a world of difference in strength between Celestial Gods. If the one the Yellow-Haired Great Bear spoke of was truly that specific Celestial God...

That was a peak Celestial God who had nearly reached the absolute limit of Celestial Gods and True Immortals! If he wanted to slaughter other Celestial Gods, it would be as easy as killing a chick.

"What a grand gesture!" Immortal Juhua could not help but exclaim. He had originally thought that it would be quite good if the Yellow-Haired Great Bear had found a spear technique created by a Celestial Immortal.

As for the level of Celestial Gods and True Immortals?

One had to know that the Xia Emperor, who had unified the entire Great Xia World, was only a Pure Yang True Immortal, and the number of Celestial Gods and True Immortals in the entire Great Xia World could be counted on one's fingers!
