Capabilities
Control of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy
A Divine Transformation cultivator's primordial spirit can merge with the surrounding world, allowing them to direct Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy rather than merely ordinary spiritual qi. Low-level cultivators within this influence can have their life or death decided by a single thought. 376
- Divine Transformation battles begin with competition for control of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. 380
- Large-scale clashes can appear as natural disasters to ordinary cultivators. 380
- Merging too deeply with the Great Dao is dangerous: a cultivator may become lost in its vast perception until their lifespan expires. 376
Law Comprehension
Advancement grants clearer access to the Laws of heaven and earth. Fang Xing immediately perceived the Fire Law after his Nascent Soul became a primordial spirit, while his later comprehension of Space Laws allowed him to wield void power. 376 377
- Void power can be grasped at the Divine Transformation stage, though many cultivators only achieve it at the middle or late stages. 377 378
- Superior Law comprehension can let a newly advanced cultivator contend with opponents of substantially higher cultivation. 380
- An early-stage cultivator may still be unable to draw spiritual energy directly from the Great Void. 397
Primordial Spirit Techniques
Divine Transformation allows techniques centered on the primordial spirit and its connection to the world.
- Primordial Spirit Sword Impregnation — Fang Xing merged his primordial spirit into the Rotten Iron Sword, becoming its Sword Spirit during his breakthrough. 376
- Outer Body Incarnation — a major divine ability displayed by Nascent Soul cultivators and relevant to high-level combat; incarnations can employ powerful temporary transformations without permanently altering the original body. 354 399
Breakthrough
Fang Xing's breakthrough illustrates the resources and phenomena associated with entering Divine Transformation. On Ming Kun Island, he used an energy-gathering array and a large supply of top-grade Spirit Stones to address the realm's immense spiritual-energy demand. His true body converted Martial God Qi Po into pure Divine Transformation mana and transferred it to his Immortal Cultivation Clone. 375
The completed breakthrough involved the transformation of the Nascent Soul into a primordial spirit, Spirit Merges with Heaven and Earth, and the refinement of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Fang Xing then faced the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation, which he dispersed with a single sword strike. 376
The event produced a Heavenly Phenomenon affecting a thousand li and drew immediate attention from cultivators throughout the Outer Sea. 375
