No one knew how much time had passed.

Reading Taiwanese novels in one's spare time on Taiwan Novel Network, էաҟąղ.çօʍ, was utterly delightful.

At last, movement stirred atop Purple Sun Peak.

"Uh..."

"Has an hour passed already? That fast?"

A young clansman opened his eyes in a daze, scratching the back of his head, his face full of lingering reluctance.

He vaguely remembered seeming to have touched upon something extraordinarily remarkable just now, but now that he had awakened, the insight in his mind was like sand slipping through his fingers—impossible to grasp.

"Did... did any of you understand anything?" another clansman beside him asked hesitantly, his tone carrying a few traces of uncertainty.

"I seemed to understand some of it just now, but now..." The young man being asked frowned and racked his brains for a long while. In the end, he let out a dispirited sigh. "Now I've forgotten it all again."

"Yeah! How strange. It felt like I was just one step away—so why can't I remember anything at all?"

Similar confusion rose and fell through the crowd.

Most of the awakened Chen Family clansmen wore bewildered expressions, scratching their ears and rubbing their cheeks. They all felt as though something remained in their minds, yet no matter what they did, they could not seize it.

That tantalizing, elusive feeling left them both anxious and helpless.

However—

Gradually, some unusual voices began to mingle among them.

"Huh? My old injury... that hidden ailment from Li Fire burns, which tormented me for thirty years—why doesn't it hurt anymore?"

A middle-aged clansman suddenly cried out in shock.

He yanked open his collar and lowered his head toward the hideous scar on his chest, only to discover that it had become smooth as new. Not even the faintest trace of scorching remained.

"Mine too! The crack in my Dao foundation that I suffered fighting a Primordial Remnant in my youth—even heaven-grade pills could only barely suppress it, yet it has completely healed now!"

An elderly man with white hair and beard sprang to his feet. As he circulated his cultivation method, he discovered that the hidden wound which had plagued him for hundreds of years had vanished without a trace.

"My cultivation bottleneck has loosened!"

"I've been stuck at the peak of the Domain Realm for three hundred years. While listening to the Dao just now, I actually broke through without realizing it!"

"This sermon from the Divine Son is truly a heaven-sent fortune!"

Cries of astonishment and gratitude rose one after another.

More and more clansmen discovered the changes in their bodies.

And this was merely a side effect of listening to a sermon.

The profundity of the Divine Ability Method itself was plain to see.

Chen Changqing stood in the air, his calm gaze sweeping across the noisy crowd below as he gave a faint nod.

Although most clansmen had ultimately failed to truly touch the threshold of the Great Dao, and would likely find it difficult to embark upon the path of the Divine Ability Method in this life, the vast Dao resonance that had suffused all of Purple Sun Peak during his sermon had still brought them immense benefits.

The Longevity Dao Resonance cleansed their bodies, mended hidden injuries, and extended their lifespans.

Those benefits alone surpassed a thousand years of bitter cultivation for ordinary cultivators.

Of course—

More importantly, Chen Changqing noticed that some clansmen in the crowd had not joined the noisy discussion after awakening. Instead, they remained seated cross-legged, their brows slightly furrowed, their eyes half-closed as though still savoring something.

The aura around these people was entirely different from everyone else's. A faint, lingering Dao resonance clung to them, proving that they had indeed touched the edge of the Great Dao during the sermon.

So long as this group continued to delve deeply along this path, comprehending a Lesser Divine Ability in the future should not be too difficult.

As time passed.

Fewer and fewer clansmen remained immersed in that self-forgetting state of Dao comprehension.

In the end, only a few dozen figures remained.

Among those few dozen were the three outstanding geniuses of the current generation: Chen Yuanba, Chen Musen, and Chen Qingshuang.

The three sat cross-legged atop the ruins of the arena, each surrounded by faint fluctuations of Dao resonance. Their auras waxed and waned, brightened and dimmed, clearly placing them in an exceptionally crucial transformation.

Aside from them, there were also more than ten Supreme Elders.

These elder powerhouses had cultivated for a long time. To reach the Saint King Realm, their talent and comprehension were naturally far from ordinary.

With the aid of Chen Changqing's sermon, it was only natural that they could touch the threshold of divine abilities.

Suddenly!

Just then—

"Hahaha..."

A hearty, almost unrestrained burst of laughter abruptly shattered the silence of Purple Sun Peak.

Ancestor Chen Haotian suddenly opened his eyes.

Everyone's gazes were instantly drawn toward him.

Then they witnessed a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Two rays of golden light, dazzling beyond measure, shot explosively from Chen Haotian's aged yet profound eyes.

The golden light was brilliant and scorching, like ten thousand blazing suns burning at once.

Wherever the golden light passed, the void was burned through like thin paper, issuing sizzling scorched sounds. Dark-red embers curled along its edges and lingered for a long time.

The clouds above Purple Sun Peak were swept by those two rays of golden light and directly vaporized into nothingness, leaving behind not even a wisp of moisture.

Chen Haotian threw back his head and laughed. His black hair whipped wildly in the wind, while his eyes, ablaze with golden flames, brimmed with irrepressible ecstasy.

From the moment Chen Changqing restored his vitality with a single finger, he had been unable to stop thinking about that so-called Divine Ability Method.

Now, he had finally comprehended it.

"I've comprehended it!"

"I've comprehended it!"

He rose abruptly, his aura climbing step by step like an erupting volcano.

Wherever those eyes burning with golden flames swept, the void twisted and all things retreated, as though even the laws of heaven and earth yielded three parts before those eyes.

"From this day onward, this divine ability—"

"Shall be called the Void-Breaking Golden Flame Eye!"

As the words fell.

Chen Haotian suddenly turned his head, his gaze landing upon a barren mountain tens of thousands of zhang away.

Two rays of golden light shot from his pupils once more, arriving in an instant.

Boom!

In the span of a blink, that towering barren mountain was like ice and snow cast into a furnace, silently vaporizing completely, without leaving behind even a grain of sand.

In the blink of an eye, a mountain tens of thousands of zhang high had been leveled!

At that moment—

The entire Purple Sun Peak fell silent as a grave.

Everyone's eyes were wide as they stared blankly at the barren mountain that had vanished into thin air, their minds utterly blank.

That eye technique from the ancestor just now... no... it could no longer be called an eye technique.

That was a divine ability!

A genuine divine ability!

The first divine ability comprehended by the Chen Family aside from the Evergreen Divine Son!

Without borrowing heaven and earth's spiritual energy, without drawing upon the power of laws.

With merely a single glance, he had burned a mountain tens of thousands of zhang high into nothingness.

With such terrifying power, even Quasi-Emperors of the same realm would likely have to take a detour upon seeing it.

Chen Changqing looked toward the ancestor's eyes, where golden afterflames still burned, and nodded slightly.

For Ancestor Chen Haotian to be the first to comprehend such a combat divine ability during a sermon of only one hour.

That level of comprehension was absolutely among the finest in the entire Chen Family.

"Hahaha..."

"Changqing!"

"Your Divine Ability Method has truly opened this ancestor's eyes!"
