Sequence Battle, the True Worth of Ancestor's Blessing!

Every use of "Words Become Law" consumed an enormous amount of spiritual power.

The higher the level of the target one wished to alter and the wider the area affected, the more terrifying the consumption of "Words Become Law."

If it exceeded the limits of one's spiritual power, the divine ability would fail.

Chen Musen had seemingly made someone break through a realm with casual ease just now, but in truth, he had already expended quite a bit of spiritual power.

However—

Even so, the upper limit of this divine ability was still frighteningly high.

If he continued comprehending this divine ability, there might yet be a chance for it to touch upon an Origin Divine Ability.

After Chen Qingshuang, this was another Greater Divine Ability with the potential to evolve into an Origin Divine Ability.

"These three eternal prodigies of the Chen Family truly deserve to be called the favored children of the Golden Age. They bear great fortune indeed, to have all comprehended Greater Divine Abilities with such extraordinary effects."

Chen Changqing could not help but marvel inwardly.

He subconsciously inspected his own soul sea of consciousness. The Dao Tree still stood tall and unwavering, its branches laden with countless Dao Fruits.

The largest and brightest of them was naturally his Longevity Origin Dao Fruit.

Around it hung three slightly smaller yet equally radiant fruits. They represented the Greater Divine Ability Dao Fruits of Chen Yuanba, Chen Qingshuang, and Chen Musen.

Further outward, Lesser Divine Ability Dao Fruits filled the branches. These were the Lesser Divine Abilities comprehended by the other Chen Family members; with but a glance, he could thoroughly comprehend and master them.

Chen Changqing withdrew his thoughts and looked toward Chen Musen on the arena, his eyes openly filled with approval.

"Very good!"

"Continue comprehending it. This divine ability has tremendous potential!"

After saying that,

Chen Changqing shifted his gaze to the other clansmen around him.

The Divine Ability Method seemed even more difficult than he had anticipated!

As the Longevity Imperial Clan, fewer than a hundred people in the entire Chen Family had actually managed to comprehend divine abilities.

After pondering for a moment,

Chen Changqing slowly spoke again. "The Divine Ability Method inherently requires exceedingly high comprehension. It is not something ordinary people can grasp!"

"Those who failed to comprehend a divine ability today need not be discouraged!"

"Continue contemplating it from now on! Perhaps one day, when inspiration strikes, you will comprehend one!"

"Furthermore, I will personally improve all of the Chen Family's cultivation techniques. Even if you cannot cultivate divine abilities, your overall strength can still rise greatly!"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words,

the Chen Family members who had failed to comprehend divine abilities immediately brightened, anticipation filling their eyes.

Since the ancestor could comprehend such a heaven-defying method as the Divine Ability Method, his comprehension was clearly beyond imagination. If the ancestor personally improved the Chen Family's cultivation techniques, how great an improvement would that bring them?

"Thank you, Ancestor Changqing!"

"Thank you, Ancestor Changqing!"

The Chen Family members all kowtowed in salute. Their hearts were filled with reverence and gratitude toward Chen Changqing, and they had thoroughly acknowledged him as the Chen Family's sole divine son.

After all, for most of them, their comprehension was simply unlikely to meet the requirements of the Divine Ability Method.

The improved cultivation techniques were what they truly needed most right now!

Chen Changqing had clearly cultivated the Divine Ability Method, yet he was still willing to personally improve the Chen Family's cultivation techniques for their sake. How could that not move them?

At this moment—

The Chen Family, from top to bottom, no longer harbored the slightest dissatisfaction toward Chen Changqing, the "sole divine son" who had occupied resources for a million years.

"Now that the lecture has ended, let the Sequence Battle continue."

Chen Changqing nodded slightly, yet he did not leave. He remained seated upon the viewing platform, a faint smile on his lips.

He still wished to see what methods these Chen Family prodigies could display in actual combat.

Perhaps he might even comprehend more divine abilities from their exchanges.

After all, the key to comprehending the Dao lay in "comprehension"!

One observed the changes of heaven, earth, and all things, gaining insight into all the different Daos.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted once more.

The Sequence Ranking Battle was originally a grand event held once every hundred years by the Chen Family. Though it had just been interrupted by the arrival of two old ancestors and Chen Changqing's lecture, everyone had gained immensely, but their hot-blooded competitive spirit had never cooled.

Now—

The ancestor had personally ordered the Sequence Battle to continue. More importantly, the ancestor had not left and would be watching from the side.

What did that mean?

So long as they performed brilliantly enough next, perhaps they might be remembered by the ancestor, or even receive his personal guidance!

Thus,

all the participating young clansmen seemed to have their blood and vigor ignited. One after another, they rubbed their fists and palms together, eager to give it a try.

As the Sequence Battle began once more,

Purple Sun Peak was filled from end to end!

All kinds of techniques, combat arts, and divine abilities intertwined. Spiritual light shot into the sky, while cheers shook the heavens.

Even those young clansmen who had not comprehended divine abilities fought with exceptional ferocity, displaying all the skills they had kept hidden up their sleeves.

Chen Changqing sat upon the high platform, his calm gaze sweeping over one arena after another.

With his powerful perception and comprehension, every cultivation technique and combat art displayed by the clansmen allowed him to comprehend a Lesser Divine Ability within merely a few breaths.

Though they were only Lesser Divine Abilities with limited power, they still broadened his understanding of the Divine Ability Method.

After many attempts,

Chen Changqing gradually came to understand that the comprehension of divine abilities was not only related to one's comprehension, but also to the object one sought to comprehend.

Furthermore—

One also needed a trace of opportunity.

Take himself, for instance. From observing the divine abilities of Chen Musen and the other two, he had comprehended corresponding Greater Divine Abilities, ones even somewhat stronger in effect.

Yet he was still one step short of an Origin Divine Ability.

This no longer had anything to do with comprehension. He merely lacked a certain opportunity.

Origin Divine Abilities were things that could not be forcibly sought. That he had comprehended the Longevity Origin Divine Ability at the moment of his awakening was already an immense stroke of fortune.

"Of course, perhaps my comprehension still isn't high enough!"

Chen Changqing smiled to himself. Once his comprehension accumulated for a while longer, perhaps he would be able to comprehend an Origin Divine Ability with ease.

The Sequence Battle continued.

As time passed, the battles upon the arenas grew increasingly intense.

Without question, the prodigies who had comprehended divine abilities stood far ahead in combat power, easily claiming the highest ranks.

Yet the ones who truly left everyone stunned were still Chen Yuanba, Chen Musen, and Chen Qingshuang.

The moment these three eternal prodigies stepped onto the arena, even the sequence prodigies who had comprehended Lesser Divine Abilities voluntarily gave up challenging them.

What kind of joke was that? Trading blows with a Greater Divine Ability was just asking to be beaten senseless.

The internal battles among the three were the true main event of this Sequence Ranking Battle.

When Chen Yuanba faced Chen Qingshuang, he directly used "Ancestor Blesses Me."

A thousand-zhang phantom rose from the ground, smashing through the hundreds of sword-intent barriers Chen Qingshuang had set up with a single punch and forcing her back a thousand zhang.

Though Chen Qingshuang could summon Myriad Swords Pay Homage, what "Ancestor Blesses Me" called forth was, after all, a projection of Chen Changqing's Dao charm. When those eyes swept over the field, the swords filling the sky all sluggishly stalled for a moment.

During that very moment of sluggishness, Chen Yuanba's fist had already stopped three inches from Chen Qingshuang's brow.

Chen Qingshuang sheathed her sword. A flicker of complicated emotion passed through her cool eyes, but in the end, she calmly cupped her hands and conceded defeat.

Her "Sword, Come!" divine ability was powerful, but Chen Yuanba was not a sword cultivator. Moreover, she had been facing a projection of the ancestor's Dao charm; in the end, she still fell short.
