On Divine Abilities

No one would care about a tree in some secret place. As long as the tree can barely survive, Divine Lord Zhenyuan obviously wouldn't guard the Longevity Fruit Tree all the time.

Guided by Zhang Xuezhou, he also examined the tree with the poisonous leaves that had been pulled out and even tasted the poisonous leaves himself.

Aside from the poison, Divine Lord Zhenyuan didn't experience any particular symptoms.

The two ultimately decided they could do some more testing.

When Zhang Xuezhou returned to Chang'an City from Mount Tai, he flew with Rong Tianding on a flight.

As they rushed back to Chang'an City from Broken Soul Ridge, Divine Lord Zhenyuan also led him on a flight.

This doesn't mean that Zhang Xuezhou needs someone to hold him while he flies, but rather that this method of flight is portable and saves him a lot of Law Power energy.

However, there is a significant gap between Zhang Xuezhou's and Divine Lord Zhenyuan's flying abilities, just like Rong Tianding when facing Zhang Xuezhou.

The opponent's powerful Law Power was as vast as mountains and seas, just like the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable that Zhang Xuezhou had seen in the Purple Cloud Palace. Divine Lord Zhenyuan did not care about the consumption of energy, so Zhang Xuezhou saved a lot of energy. He could focus more on improving his cloud-riding skills and level, and even get reference from Divine Lord Zhenyuan's flying techniques.

"How about it?"

After soaring thousands of miles, Divine Lord Zhenyuan finally asked Zhang Xuezhou about the effects of his flight.

"You should be able to feel my continuous improvement as I fly higher," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I can't sense it," Divine Lord Zhenyuan shook his head repeatedly.

"Haven't you noticed that from the moment I began to fly until now, I haven't changed at all, even though I'm using your power to fly?"

"I see!"

"Normally, as I fly further and further away, I would become increasingly reliant on your guidance, but for now I can still meet my needs, and even continue to do so for a long time!"

"These poisonous leaves are truly remarkable, but unfortunately they have no effect on me!"

"Perhaps it's a difference in our cultivation levels, or perhaps the Divine Lord's Technique Method have reached their limit!"

Seeing Divine Lord Zhenyuan stuff a handful of poisonous leaves into his mouth, Zhang Xuezhou could only make this guess.

His cloud-riding technique became increasingly effective. With his Law Power remaining constant, the distance he flew increased, and his flying speed also improved. This improvement in flying ability was clearly due to significant progress in Zhang Xuezhou's cloud-riding technique.

After all that effort and the constant consumption of tree leaves, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his Technique Method abilities had not declined; on the contrary, they were continuously improving.

Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to determine the limits of his cloud-flying technique. He felt that he had cultivated it to a relatively perfect level, and that eating a leaf would bring about an improvement in his abilities. He also felt that he had a lot of energy left and did not experience any exhaustion in his flight. When Divine Lord Zhenyuan carried him through the air, he did not end up Rong Tianding, who was exhausted to death.

"Speaking of which, Holy Son, your flying Divine Ability is truly remarkable! Your flying skill is probably unmatched among cultivators in the Divine Ability Realm!"

Not only was Zhang Xuezhou quite satisfied with the level of his cloud-riding technique, Divine Lord Zhenyuan was also very satisfied, believing that even after being enlightened in the Divine Ability Realm, he could only reach Zhang Xuezhou's level in terms of flying techniques.

"Flying Divine Ability... my Divine Ability... my Divine Ability is actually the Grain Avoidance Instruction!"

Zhang Xuezhou's Divine Ability would be pioneering in the real world, and there's no question of whether they're shameful or not.

However, in this world, there are countless cultivators with different cultivation levels, and there is also a hierarchy of contempt. His Divine Ability to Grain Avoidance is undoubtedly quite embarrassing, and Zhang Xuezhou would be ashamed to mention it if it were not an elder or a close senior.

"Your flying Divine Ability is impressive, Grain Avoidance Divine Ability is also impressive... Wait, are you saying that your Divine Ability isn't flying, but simply the Grain Avoidance Instruction?"

The wind and waves in the air were quite strong, causing some delay in the conversation between Divine Lord Zhenyuan and Zhang Xuezhou.

When Divine Lord Zhenyuan understood from Zhang Xuezhou's slightly embarrassed tone, he opened his mouth, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou was in trouble, but it didn't seem to be a big deal.

"Your flying technique truly possesses the level of Divine Ability flight, and it's at an extremely high level. This Daoist art isn't even Divine Ability. What kind of mystery lies behind your Grain Avoidance Divine Ability?"

Zhang Xuezhou's flying technique was quite good; even if it was a flying Divine Ability, it was still acceptable to Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

However, even without considering it as Divine Ability technique, Zhang Xuezhou's skill level was undoubtedly terrifyingly high.

This is why Divine Lord Zhenyuan saw Zhang Xuezhou chewing leaves and gradually improving his flying skills, and that his flying ability was completely genuine.

But Zhang Xuezhou Grain Avoidance Divine Ability is really bad, so bad that even Divine Lord Zhenyuan can't comment on it.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan couldn't figure out what role endurance in combat could play, nor could he find a better way to utilize the Grain Avoidance Instruction.

If Zhang Xuezhou had focused his Divine Ability abilities on flying techniques, Divine Lord Zhenyuan believed that Zhang Xuezhou would likely be the undisputed number one flying expert among human cultivators at the Divine Ability Realm, and even bird demons skilled in flying would probably be inferior to Zhang Xuezhou.

This made him sigh, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan was also curious about Zhang Xuezhou's Grain Avoidance Divine Ability.

Zhang Xuezhou's evasion techniques were no mystery to Divine Lord Zhenyuan. He had witnessed everything Zhang Xuezhou practiced and also possessed an extremely high level of Grain Avoidance.

"My Grain Avoidance Divine Ability doesn't seem to have any great mystery; it just makes me more resistant to hunger," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I have broken through the Grain Avoidance Instruction 72,000 acupoints, and can go for 45 days without eating or drinking. If I can drink a few mouthfuls of clear spring Grain Avoidance, I can fast for two months without any problem. If I can also swallow some grains, I can maintain it for another three months," Divine Lord Zhenyuan said, mentioning his abilities.

"Then I might be a little better than you," Zhang Xuezhou said after thinking for a moment.

"It's normal that your Grain Avoidance Divine Ability is stronger than my cultivation technique. In fact, you might even reach my level with over 60,000 acupoints," Divine Lord Zhenyuan agreed.

"My Grain Avoidance Instruction a bit special," Zhang Xuezhou said. "My body was nearly exploded from the infusion of Spiritual Qi, causing all the acupoints in my body to connect and become Grain Avoidance Instruction. The Buddha's disciple once said that I had the level of a half-immortal. Now that I have transformed into Divine Ability, it seems that I don't need to eat much unless I consume too much energy!"

"What?"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan thought Zhang Xuezhou's Grain Avoidance Technique was slightly better than his own, but he didn't expect it to be by such a small margin.

He can go for 45 days without food or water, but that doesn't mean he isn't thirsty or hungry. The process of reaching the limit of Grain Avoidance is extremely agonizing.

Thinking of his own Grain Avoidance Instruction and comparing Grain Avoidance Instruction with Zhang Xuezhou's, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt that the difference between the two was quite significant.

"What extraordinary encounter did you have that triggered such explosive Spiritual Qi?" Divine Lord Zhenyuan asked enviously, "That makes me want to try this cultivation method myself!"

"I was struck by Spiritual Qi during the transfer formation at the Xieluosi River Holy Land. My cultivation was weak then, which is why my body was almost blown apart. Your cultivation has already reached the True Self stage; I'm afraid that Spiritual Qi wouldn't be enough for you to withstand the explosion!"

"I must visit Zhu Jiuyin when I have time; I'd also like to see the teleportation formation of the Xieluosi River Holy Land!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt a bit envious, but after Zhang Xuezhou dissuaded him, he still harbored some thoughts.

He felt that there fortuitous opportunity everywhere in the human world behind the Kunlun Sacred Land. This novelty greatly increased his interest and made him feel that the Kunlun Sacred Land was well worth the trip.

"Your Grain Avoidance Instruction is similar to a secondary Divine Ability. A half-step immortal is already similar to the enhancement of a major Divine Ability power. If you step into the Divine Ability Realm and receive further enlightenment, this will achieve a secondary Divine Ability," Divine Lord Zhenyuan pondered before saying, "If you find that you can still choose to Grain Avoidance Instruction into Spirit Transformation when you reach the Sole Self Realm future, I personally think you can try it again!"

"Still choose the Grain Avoidance Instruction?"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.

Then Divine Lord Zhenyuan nodded with slight hesitation.

Few people can focus their Divine Ability on a single technique consecutively. True Self Realm cultivators usually possess three Divine Ability, meaning they each have three distinct skills.

Generally speaking, these three Divine Ability tend to be as offensive, defensive, and evasive as possible. Whenever these three abilities are perfectly displayed, such a True Self Realm cultivator will be difficult to deal with and fight.

But Divine Lord Zhenyuan discovered another possibility today.

That was because a repeated Divine Ability intervention seemed to have brought about some kind of mystery.

While the Grain Avoidance Instruction Divine Ability n't particularly powerful, with the added boost from the second Divine Ability, Zhang Xuezhou had managed to cultivate his Cloud-Soaring Technique to a normal Divine Ability.

The superposition of the two Divine Ability seemed to have explored the depth of the Technique Method, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to advance the Technique Method beyond the level that a normal cultivator should have.
