Upon entering the Divine Ability Pavilion, one finds not shelves displaying Daoist classics, but a vast galaxy of stars shining brightly.
"Junior brother, this is the Divine Ability Pavilion. These are the Daoist techniques and supernatural powers collected by the Great Emperor Ziwei."
Zhenwu casually pointed, and countless stars swirled in the sky, passing before the two of them.
Each star is a seal, containing a supernatural power or Daoist technique. When it turns in front of you, you can use your Divine Sense to perceive its general information.
'Wow, so many! I wonder where all these supernatural powers and techniques came from, or were they all created by the Great Emperor Ziwei?'
Xu Xiao was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden; the countless stars dazzled him.
I have gained a deeper understanding of the power of a great figure like the Great Emperor Ziwei. Putting aside everything else, any one of these treasures here could be a secret treasure that allows one to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal or even Golden Immortal.
Only such a powerful figure could accumulate such a quantity over an infinite span of time and space.
Faced with so many supernatural powers and magical techniques, Xu Xiao was momentarily at a loss.
With so many options, it would take quite a while just to look through them, let alone choose.
"What? Isn't there anything that suits your taste?"
Zhenwu, standing to the side, glanced sideways.
"No, it's just that there are so many of them. Could you please help me categorize them, or recommend some suitable ones for you?"
Xu Xiao bowed respectfully. Zhenwu didn't seem to be a first-timer. Instead of blindly choosing from others, it was better to let the other party recommend someone.
"Alright, since you trust your senior brother, then I'll help you choose some."
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhenwu conjured up a sky full of stars, which soon appeared before the two of them.
"As a patrolling angel, my junior brother frequently travels throughout the four continents and myriad worlds, so there are two things he must possess."
"The first is 'escape,' and the second is 'concealment.' However, since Junior Brother's understanding of cause and effect Gao Ming, the so-called 'concealment' is unnecessary. You can choose a Douzhan method instead."
Before the words were finished, two stars suddenly shone brightly:
" The All-Heaven Star Translocation Divine Ability ": It borrows the power of the stars to shift and move, and can move thousands of miles with a thought. It is a divine power of escape personally passed down by the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, one can even borrow the power of stars to traverse countless realms!
" Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Demon-Subduing Sword Art ": A secret manual of the Zhenwu Demon-Slaying School, the sword draws in thunder tribulation, specifically designed to subdue demons and evil spirits, destroying their form and spirit, ensuring they never reincarnate.
"Junior brother, the next method is a Daoist technique I cultivated on my own; you can try to understand some of it," Zhenwu said with a smile.
What could Xu Xiao do besides express his gratitude?
The fact that even the Great Emperor Zhenwu offered up his own Douzhan Sword Technique is enough to demonstrate the other party's high regard for him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. We'll do as you say."
Xu Xiao bowed respectfully, then raised his hand to strike the two supernatural powers.
"Wait a minute, junior brother, you still have one more chance. That ' Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Demon-Subduing Sword Art ' is my self-taught cultivation method, and it doesn't count as one of the two items you'll be choosing for your new official position."
Zhenwu smiled slightly, and the " Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Demon-Subduing Sword Art " shot into Xu Xiao's Divine Sense, and the star that recorded it moved away.
"Thank you so much, senior brother, for bestowing this teaching. I am deeply grateful."
Xu Xiao bowed again, his heart filled with joy.
'Sure enough, having connections has its advantages; even the benefits are 50% more than others.'
"Junior brother, since you cultivate the Dao of Cause and Effect, why don't you choose another supernatural technique related to cause and effect?"
Zhenwu glanced at Xu Xiao, and at the same time waved his hand to make the stars continue to rotate and display, this time all of them were supernatural powers related to the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. Please wait a moment, senior brother, while I explain."
Regarding the divine methods related to cause and effect, Zhenwu did not recommend himself to Xu Xiao, but instead moved all the relevant stars over for Xu Xiao to choose from.
Xu Xiao also unleashed his Divine Sense, exploring and comprehending each star, examining every single one before him.
Finally, from among dozens of shining stars, a dim star was drawn out.
" The Cause and Effect Tribulation Sword ": Using one's own karma as a sword, one can sever the karma of others and annihilate the fate of all living beings! When the sword is drawn, at best, fate is altered; at worst, karma is erased. It is a fragment of divine power left behind by the Sage Nuwa Creates Humans. Those who cultivate this technique can alter the fate of living beings and eliminate their enemies from the perspective of karma, but they must also have a profound understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect.
"Senior, I choose this one."
Xu Xiao looked around and found this one to be the most suitable for him.
Other causal supernatural powers are mostly about concealment, evasion, and speculation; this is one of the few offensive supernatural powers among them.
For Xu Xiao, the Reversing the Dao of Cause and Effect had already provided him with the best way to conceal himself, so he might as well choose a more lethal method.
Erasing the other party from the causal level and altering fate is a supernatural power that coincides perfectly with his Dao of Variables.
Zhenwu closed his eyes slightly, examined Xu Xiao's choice, and a look of admiration appeared on his face.
"Junior brother still chose it. Although this ' Cause and Effect Tribulation Sword ' is an incomplete version, its destructive power and ability to alter fate are extremely rare among supernatural abilities. It's just that it's too difficult to cultivate."
"Oh? Senior brother already guessed I would choose this book?" Xu Xiao's expression changed.
Could this be a trap?
Seeing the change in Xu Xiao's expression, Zhenwu smiled and explained.
"From the moment you grasped the way to reverse Dao of Cause and Effect, I guessed you might choose this book, and now it seems I was right."
"This divine power was originally created by the Goddess Nüwa when she first created the human race, to help them determine cause and effect and destiny."
"Originally, it was not among the Northern Emperor's collection. However, later, the Goddess Nüwa felt that this divine power had a significant impact on the fate of living beings, and feared that if it were to spread, some people with ill intentions would use it for evil purposes. Therefore, she destroyed a portion of it."
"Later, the Northern Emperor learned of the fragment by chance, so he stored it in this Divine Ability Pavilion."
"However, over the years, many people have chosen this supernatural power, but very few have actually mastered it."
"I observe that you are not the type to hide or conceal yourself; deep down, you still love to compete and fight. You will surely consider this supernatural ability."
Oh, I see! I thought it was just there to trap me.
Xu Xiao thought about it for a while, and then let it go.
If someone wants to harm you, why bother setting a trap? They could just take action directly.
Even if they could escape the Journey to the West Great World, wouldn't these powerful beings be able to track them down?
"Senior brother, then I will choose the ' Cause and Effect Tribulation Sword ' and the ' All-Heaven Star Translocation Divine Ability ' to fulfill my duty of patrolling the heavens."
Zhenwu nodded, "Excellent!"
He then waved the token in his hand, and two stars flew to Xu Xiao, transforming into beams of light that entered Xu Xiao's body.
In an instant, various insights into the laws of divine powers flooded Xu Xiao's mind, causing him to become slightly distracted.
Zhenwu timely reminded him, "Although supernatural powers are strong, you need to constantly comprehend them and constantly align them with your own Great Dao in order to unleash their maximum potential."
"Before reaching the Daluo, you can try several other Dao principles besides your main one, combining them with supernatural abilities to ensure your success."
Xu Xiao nodded; he knew that.
