NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1982: Only Divine Skills Can Defeat Divine Skills
"The Heavenly Dao encompasses all creations. Each cultivator has different conditions and understanding, and thus perceives different manifestations of the Heavenly Dao, resulting in different domain rules ultimately."
"The rules of the Heavenly Dao are unpredictable, with endless variables, so generally speaking, no two insights are completely identical, nor are there two identical cultivators, and naturally, there are no two identical domain rules."
"There are countless Heavenly Dao rules, but the most famous are the space domain and time domain. That Leaf of the World you saw earlier was a magical treasure crafted by a Great Land Sovereign with space domain capabilities. If you cannot break his spatial power, even a single leaf can act as a vast world, enough to trap anyone inside."
"Of course, within the space domain of the Leaf of the World, there are surely deadly strikes designed to kill those trapped within. If you cannot break the space, you will be continuously hunted by its rules until you die."
"It's like a dream. You fall into a nightmare, hunted within it, but unable to escape the dream, your energy will eventually be drained away, until you die in the dream."
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord's gaze was expectant, his tone slightly excited: "Although I am still unsure what specific space rules I will comprehend, from my current insights and encounters, I am certain that the Heavenly Dao rules I will understand will be related to space. I am quite looking forward to it."
Carson Flores' eyes lit up: "So, it will be very powerful?"
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord replied: "Not necessarily, even if it's space or the more mysterious time, they can manifest in myriad ways, some extremely powerful, some less useful. Of course, there is no entirely useless divine skill; if wielded properly, divine skills can exert tremendous power."
"Even the most insignificant rules are rules, possessing absolute power."
Carson Flores seemed to understand basically: "Divine skills are the rules created from comprehending the Heavenly Dao, or rather, techniques?"
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord nodded: "Yes, comprehending the Heavenly Dao, creating rules. Since its manifestations vary greatly across cultivators, they are commonly referred to as divine skills, including Mountain Moving, Earth Escape, River Burning and Sea Boiling, Step Across Mountains and Rivers, and so on."
Carson Flores pondered and asked: "Isn't my Ground Shrinking Technique considered a divine skill then?"
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord replied: "It can be said to resemble divine skills, but it is significantly inferior to true divine skills. If someone has a stronger power than you and seals the space, your method will be nullified, whereas divine skills exhibit greater effects and are unconstrained by non-rule powers."
"Only divine skills can defeat divine skills!"
Carson Flores knew little about matters above Great Land, and now naturally had many questions: "If I advance to Great Land, can I transform my Ground Shrinking Technique into a true divine skill?"
"It is possible, provided you have the insight and opportunity to comprehend this divine skill."
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord patiently explained, alleviating Carson Flores' doubts: "Divine skills are divided into two types: the first is called Innate Divine Ability, typically of a growth type, evolving as your understanding of Heavenly Dao and rule creation deepens, enhancing in power and diversity."
"The second type is Common Divine Ability. It involves using certain rules to form certain techniques. As long as you have the insight and opportunity to learn them, you can cultivate them, with no limit on the number."
"There is only one Innate Divine Ability, but one can have many Common Divine Abilities. Generally speaking, if your innate divine ability is space-type, you might find it easier to learn other space-type divine skills. If your divine ability is life-type, you might be more adept at learning divine skills related to life restoration."
Carson Flores considered thoughtfully: "Does Innate Divine Ability relate to one's Spiritual Root?"
"Yes."
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord laughed: "Different Spiritual Roots correspond to awakening certain types of divine skills more easily, but nothing is absolute, even a cultivator with Fire Spirit Root can awaken life restoration-type divine skills, although the probability is indeed large."
Carson Flores, having heard so much from Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, suddenly felt quite assured internally.
In matters under Great Land, the decisive factors revolve around one's spiritual energy volume and its skillful use; above Great Land, the focus shifts to divine skills.
Divine skills are a more profound and advanced manifestation of spiritual energy.
More exquisite!
More powerful!
Carson Flores asked: "Do you need to find a place for secluded cultivation to comprehend now?"
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord shook his head: "No need, aren't we here to find Yellow Jade Purple Cloud Grass? Let's search more towards the center; even though I haven't comprehensively deduced a divine skill yet, I've thought that dealing with some ancient beasts shouldn't be a problem."
Carson Flores' eyes lit up: "So, can we explore every part of this area and gather all the Yellow Jade Purple Cloud Grass?"
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord chuckled softly: "As long as you wish, certainly."
Carson Flores laughed heartily: "Indeed, having a Great Land Sovereign as our protector feels so reassuring, Spencer, we can simply enjoy the rewards now!"
Spencer Steele bit his lips: "Thank you, mentor."
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord reached out to pinch Spencer Steele's cheek, smiling: "Let's find more, I am also eager to see the scene when you advance, Spencer, it shouldn't take much longer. When the people of God Immortal Domain arrive, then we'll give them a big surprise."
Spencer Steele's face slightly reddened, she was quite reluctant to interact with anyone other than Carson Flores, yet she couldn't discern if it was an illusion; she felt Selah Ellison Immortal Lord was particularly fond of her, exceeding the usual level of fondness at first meeting.
Carson Flores laughed: "Right, my strength won't improve temporarily, so why not help Spencer advance and see if we can break through to Great Land in one go, then we can head to Green Cloudy Valley together."
Spencer Steele was not well-versed in the matters of Green Cloudy Valley, but she simply followed her teacher's directions!
"I will strive to advance quickly!"
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord waved: "Let's go, search those ancient demonic beasts' nests!"
The three of them headed towards the island's central region. Previously cautious, now boldly advancing directly without any concealment.
Traveling with Great Land, this is how audacious one can be!
"Roar!"
A giant tiger resembling a small mountain with wings on its back burst from the canyon, charging towards the group. Amidst its roar, the ground shook, stirring hearts and blood.
"Back off!"
Selah Ellison Immortal Lord commanded in a low voice, turning to face the towering giant tiger.
An unseen, terrifying power descended from the heavens, instantly striking the giant tiger, causing the mountain-like beast to tumble back into the canyon, crashing into the cliff wall, fracturing half the canyon!
