Choosing a Divine Ability
When the imperial tombs in Dongshan were thoroughly excavated, not only were Huang Daoxian's elaborate schemes exposed, but some historically concealed grandeur was also revealed.
Being given the temple name of Emperor Taizong of Luofu, this emperor was indeed an extremely important emperor in the history of the Luofu Dynasty.
Emperor Taizong of Luo was both a scholar and a warrior; he had fought on horseback and was also capable of governing the country.
Among the many emperors of Luofu, Emperor Taizong of Luo was extremely skilled in martial arts, second only to Emperor Wu of Luo and Emperor Li of Luo.
Most importantly, Emperor Luo Taizong had an extremely long lifespan. Even as wave after wave of crown princes waiting to inherit the throne died, Emperor Luo Taizong remained in excellent health, almost similar to the long-lived Emperor Luo Yan.
The three treasures passed down by Emperor Luo Yan, such as the Spirit Jade and the Tongtian Jade Ruler, may have originated from the other party.
"It's a pity he doesn't know anything about cultivation!"
"Back then, there weren't many cultivation methods; we could only rely on ancient martial arts to endure the hardships!"
"His ability to endure hardship without harm, and to survive so many longevity-seeking elixirs in his later years, is very likely due to this mountain!"
The main object of the tomb is the Qin Meng Secret Stone, but the conditions of its past undoubtedly make it a regrettable loss.
"Is there any other use for this place?"
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou exploring with great interest, Ren Anran couldn't help but become interested as well.
"I originally planned to use fire crystals to construct a small Spirit Gathering Formation. This kind of array is somewhat useful for tempering and Mental Strengthening. Now that we have the means, we can expand it!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
He was very poor at Yin-Yang School formation techniques, but that's not Zhang Xuezhou's fault; he really didn't have any formations of his own.
In the other world, array masters are not uncommon; not only are they numerous, but this tradition has continued for thousands of years.
These predecessors set up traps and caused destruction everywhere, leaving no easy place for Zhang Xuezhou to practice.
Over the years, he has been constantly embroiled in breaking formations, except for one time when he and Divine Lord Zhenyuan constructed a formation at Duanhun Ridge.
This resulted in Zhang Xuezhou never having constructed even the basic Spirit Gathering Formation, a fundamental skill of Yin-Yang School array masters.
Of course, the Yin-Yang School's array masters also had a miserable life, otherwise they wouldn't have had to make do with array formations, alchemy, and medicine making.
Everyone should take the pills if they have them, and use any available formations.
Zhang Xuezhou was no different; he would refine pills and make medicine if he could, and he would also seek opportunities to construct formations if given the chance.
Such hollowed-out spirit jade mines are extremely rare. Even though they are empty shells without Spiritual Qi, they are still exceptional cultivation sites. With proper guidance, this place could indeed be developed into a sacred cultivation Sacred Land.
"The greatest advantage of the Spirit Gathering Formation is that it can continuously draw in Spiritual Qi energy," Zhang Xuezhou said. "We can't draw much Spiritual Qi from the earth's veins here, but we can continuously add Qin Meng Secret Stones into it. These empty spirit jade shells will become the best sealing material, thus preventing the Spiritual Qi from leaking out and avoiding any potential threats!"
Will those fire meteor creatures from Qin Meng attack our Western Capital City?
Ren Anran didn't pay too much attention to the Spirit Gathering Formation. Instead, like Zhang Xuezhou, she was trying to avoid future troubles and was also worried about the risk of leakage.
"If they take something that someone else has found in the future, as long as they're not too stupid, they'll eventually have to look for it again," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.
"I thought they were after this barren area," Ren Anran said with a sigh of relief.
"In the eyes of the Fire Meteor creatures, we are merely in Savage Wilderness and uncivilized state. Under normal circumstances, they would look down on us," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Especially since they believe that many of their kingdoms are occupied by the Fire Meteor creatures, they are quite wary of crossing their borders!"
"It seems that our perceptions have been reversed!"
Ren Anran shook her head helplessly.
Humans have always regarded Qinmeng as Savage Wilderness land, but little did they know that the fire meteor creatures of Qinmeng would hold the same view of many countries.
However, Ren Anran had to admit that this understanding did indeed provide a breathing space for human development.
Otherwise, the Scarlet Alliance State might have followed in the footsteps of the Qinmeng Empire.
"Only a flawed understanding can create an opportunity for a counterattack," Zhang Xuezhou said.
Zhang Xuezhou's ability to develop safely over the years is undoubtedly due to the fact that he has been overlooked and has taken too many advantages.
Although this caused great inconvenience to Zhang Xuezhou's normal life, Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that his harmless appearance made people lower their guard and allow him to exist.
"That Tiger Cultivator, and the treasure Ding Kui, don't seem to be as powerful as the Emperor," Ren Anran asked.
"It's very strong for us," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"I truly yearn to one day attain the Emperor's power!"
Ren Anran whispered.
The tiger was a great terror to Ren Yisheng, so much so that she could only avoid it by playing dead. However, Ren Anran felt that the tiger was not as powerful as the emperor she knew.
Zhang Xuezhou did not deny it, which means her guess was quite correct.
Anyone who has witnessed the power of top-tier experts can indeed make a direct comparison and will not waver in their commitment to the path they hold dear.
The only difference is that Zhang Xuezhou and the others are currently limited in strength and are still two steps away from the top.
Although Divine Ability, Only Me, and True Self may seem like just a few words, the difficulty increases as you go higher in these realms, and the differences in abilities that cultivators possess also increase as they progress.
For example, Zhang Xuezhou can fly thousands of miles, while Ren Anran can only glide for tens or hundreds of miles. The difference in the distance they can fly is ten or even dozens of times, not to mention the differences in flight speed, skills, and other aspects.
"I'd like to gamble on the Yang Soul Transformation Technique, what do you think?"
After calming down, Ren Anran also took Zhang Xuezhou's advice on spiritual practice into consideration.
Ren Anran's cultivation Technique Method were few, involving only a handful of methods such as cloud-riding, poison-avoidance, physical body techniques, Supreme Purity True Technique, Yin Entity Tracking Technique, treasure hunting, and Yang soul transformation.
The transformation into Divine Ability powers is not subject to personal will, even though Zhang Xuezhou tried it one by one.
He looked at Ren Anran with slight surprise, only to see Ren Anran take out a paper document.
"Divine Ability arts aren't entirely without rules. The higher the compatibility with the body, the stronger the awareness of the Technique Method in one's mind, the more likely it is to hit the target," Ren Anran said. "During this adjustment period, I subconsciously forgot about the other Technique Method I had learned and deepened my understanding of the Yang Soul Transformation Technique, while also maintaining a certain rhythm in releasing it. I felt that the probability of hitting the target was quite high!"
"Do I need to subconsciously forget it?"
Zhang Xuezhou frowned.
For Zhang Xuezhou, his greatest strength lies in his memory.
Zhang Xuezhou would retain a deep memory of any technique he had used, thus constantly repeating and refining it.
This is what he has been proud of all these years.
However, Zhang Xuezhou had to consider Ren Anran's theory.
If he were to reach the Sole Self Realm in the future, Zhang Xuezhou would indeed like to refer to Divine Lord Zhenyuan's deductions in order to further refine his own minor Divine Ability.
"If you can't forget, you can try to ignore it as much as possible, or even use hypnosis to help," Ren Anran explained. "I think in a calm and peaceful cultivation environment, this might be able to influence your own choices as much as possible!"
"How confident are you in your theory?" Zhang Xuezhou asked after reading the document.
"I think it's fifty percent," Ren Anran said, holding out his hand. "The other fifty percent is that I'm unable to master minor Divine Ability Technique Method, making it difficult for me to break through to the Divine Ability Realm!"
Such a high probability!
Zhang Xuezhou was surprised and amazed.
Ren Anran's approach either results in failure in reaching the Divine Ability Realm, or he can succeed by using Divine Ability Realm Technique Method to do so.
Although it may seem like only a 50% chance, the probability of this choice is actually 100%.
In other words, Ren Anran's solution has never failed in repeated simulation tests, leaving only its current practical application.
