Power Progression

The following milestones trace Chen Cuo’s development of Divine Abilities; they are not universal stages for every cultivator.

Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes
First Realm; uncertain Divine Ability 72 76 Forms the frenzied-thought Myriad Realms Cocoon, also called Myriad Manifestation Thought. It breaks Hou Xiao’s Fist Intent, but Chen is unsure whether it fully qualifies as a Divine Ability.
Half-step Dao Foundation 78 Refines Black-and-White World and gains the capacity for his consciousness to leave his body. His own Divine Ability remains unfinished, appearing as two visions of Chen Fangqing’s deaths.
Dao Foundation 92 95 Awakens his first derived Divine Ability, Between Cause and Effect. Its first successful use depends on an anchored result and conditions prepared in advance.
Dao Foundation; additional ability 164 Develops Three Fires, whose flames disrupt the body, qi, and heart respectively.
White Lotus Avatar 244 267 Reforms his third incarnation around human thought rather than a borrowed Divine Spirit Talisman. The avatar’s innate Words of Returning to the Ordinary arises as it condenses.
God of Wealth Divine Seat 314 315 Develops Money Imprinting and Lending by defining currency through shared belief, then using it in supernatural transactions.
Longevity 340 Discerns religious, military, and merchant paths behind several of his powers. Their projected forms are not yet fully realized Dharma Forms.
Original body; incomplete convergence 609 Black-and-White World, Three Fires, Five-Colored Divine Light, and other arts begin merging with Between Cause and Effect. The resulting power remains unclear and causes backlash.
Legend-based powers 618 Gains temporary Divine Abilities from gathered legends and stores further “forms of legend” in the Beyond-Mundane River Realm. Their borrowed power is generally good for only one strike.
Original cultivation method 649 Completes the framework of the Eighty-One Acupoints Sutra of Deliverance, intended to refine history and legend into the body so that legend gives rise to Divine Abilities.
Primordial Life Creation 807 Chen’s life-creating method is identified as a supreme Divine Ability. The Jade Void Cult Leader seeks to make him surrender his claim to it.

Formation and Limits

  • Personal foundation: A Dao-root reflects a cultivator’s deepest resolve and may produce a distinct power. At the Dao Foundation stage, experience and the understanding drawn from it can manifest as a Divine Ability 16 72.
  • Not every powerful spell qualifies: The Evil Ghost’s perception-reversing art works only within the human thought and incense it has polluted. Chen calls it the beginnings of a Divine Ability, not a completed one 69 78.
  • Formation can stall: Chen can project his consciousness and wield other formidable arts before completing the Divine Ability needed to establish his Dao Foundation fully 78 82.
  • Rank and cost matter: Between Cause and Effect initially places immense strain on Chen’s Mind Daoist and shakes his foundation when he cannot replenish what it consumes 95.
  • Origin matters: Some abilities arise naturally with an incarnation, while powers gathered from legends may be borrowed, temporary, and mentally taxing 267 618.

Documented Abilities

Ability Effect and limitation
Between Cause and Effect Anchors a past cause and future result, then connects existing conditions by the most direct route; it cannot create a result from nothing. With sufficient preparation, it can act across distance, time, and differences in cultivation realm 92 95 690.
Myriad Realms Cocoon / Myriad Manifestation Thought Floods a target’s senses and mind with varied impressions drawn from Chen’s previous life. Its early form relies on frenzied thoughts and is difficult to use 72 76.
Black-and-White World Reverses perceived relationships such as front and back or up and down. In Chen’s later use, Black-and-White Light can bring events backward, though its convergence with his other powers is incomplete 78 609.
Three Fires People’s Fire weakens the body; Minister’s Fire disrupts qi, Divine Abilities, and Magic Power; Sovereign’s Fire disorders the heart and breeds rebellious thoughts 164.
Words of Returning to the Ordinary The White Lotus Avatar’s innate ability counters manifestations that ordinary people deem contrary to common sense. It excels at breaking spells but has little use beyond that narrow purpose 267 406.
Money Imprinting and Lending Defines something as currency through collective acceptance, then makes it the basis of an exchange. Chen uses a temporary currency to strip away Ruan Ji’s disguises and defenses; he has only partly grasped the broader authority over transactions and property 314 315.
Primordial Life Creation Recreates conditions for life to arise using natural forces. The Jade Void Cult Leader says Chen could eventually establish it within the Rise and Fall tradition by spreading its legend 807.
