Chapter 293: Five Types of Innate Divine Abilities? Only if it's a Sacred Body!

Five Types of Innate Divine Abilities? Only if it's a Sacred Body!

Two days later, Yuan Youbai had finished digesting the elixir and woke up.

Gu Changge then planned to bid farewell to the old man and head to Heavenly Cold Sect.

He was soon to go to Central State, and he didn’t know how long he would be separated from Qingqing.

“So soon?”

“It is… Miss Liu will probably not see each other for several years.”

“Once you have settled in Central State, when you plan to move against the Wu Family, remember to tell me.”

“Then that will be the day I go to Central State.”

Gu Kuang learned his eldest grandson was leaving and was slightly taken aback but then he smiled and nodded.

The eldest grandson had his own path to follow; his greatest help was to not hold him back.

As for the Wu Family, without personally taking action, the anger in his heart could not be quelled!

Perfectly, once the eldest grandson was stable in Central State, he could also go and attempt to seek higher realms!

Maybe, relying on the eldest grandson’s influence in Central State, he could even secure a half-official position in Sword Sect.

“Take care, old man.”

Gu Changge smiled slightly and bowed before leaving the grand hall directly.

Jian Chen and two others followed suit and bowed: “Daoist Fellow Gu Kuang, see you in Central State!”

“Definitely!” Gu Kuang also returned the gesture.

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

He accompanied his eldest grandson out of Duanbei City, many Gu Family Disciples also bowed deeply: “Farewell, Young Master!”

Cultivators from other forces stationed in Duanbei City watched the figure from afar and couldn’t help feeling deeply emotional.

In just under a year, Young Master Gu had grown to a level that everyone in the Northern Domain had to look up to!

When had the Northern Domain ever produced such a heaven-defying chosen one before?

In the future, the Northern Domain might as well bear the Gu surname, and both Heavenly Cold Sect and the Northern Domain Royal Family would have to obediently comply.

After the eldest grandson left, Gu Kuang remained standing atop the city walls of Duanbei City for a long time.

Only when he could no longer see the figure did he come back to his senses.

He waved his hand to let the Gu Family Disciples attend to their own duties, and he returned to his hall.

Only just upon returning did he notice that there was an unknown wooden box on the stone table.

“What is this?” Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

Looking at the wooden box, he felt a familiar sensation.

He opened it, and the elixir that his eldest grandson had once urged him to take was indeed lying inside.

The elixir exuded an even more potent medicinal force than the one he had consumed last time!

Its design was also clearly more intricate, radiating a clear fragrance.

With just a glance, Gu Kuang knew that this elixir was worth a fortune, even the Gu Family Ancestor might be tempted.

“Ah, this kid…”

“I’m just an old thing; I don’t need such divine items.”

Gu Kuang muttered reproachfully, but his heart was warm.

Carefully, he closed the wooden box again, resolving not to waste his eldest grandson’s kindness and planned to wait for the right moment to retreat and refine the elixir.

Once he reached Central State, perhaps he could really advance beyond the Ninth Grade!

While Gu Changge and his company sat on a Flying Boat, heading in the direction of Heavenly Cold Sect in Wuzhou.

“What a pity that this elixir only has 1% of its effect when taken by someone other than a Daoist couple.”

“Otherwise, it would be enough to easily transform the old man into an Acquired Dao Body.”

Gu Changge watched the rapidly passing scenery between the mountains and couldn’t help but smile softly to himself.

The elixir he left for the old man was indeed the most expensive one he had ever exchanged!

It cost a million Attribute Points, a Fourth Tier Root Bone Pill (+50)!

Now that the old man had just reached the Acquired Spirit Body, this pill alone could greatly enhance his Acquired Spirit Body.

As for the ancestor, he must find an opportunity to exchange some elixirs before going to Sword Sect, even if it costs a fortune, to help him advance to the Acquired Dao Body!

With that accomplished, the ancestor could break through to Moon Unification True Monarch Realm at the fastest speed, and once in Central State, he could truly be considered a top-tier Great Power.

The takeover of Central State by the Gu Family was something he clearly lacked the mindset and energy to develop.

But if the ancestor breaks through to Moon Unification True Monarch Realm, it could entirely be managed by the ancestor himself.

He only needs to focus on cultivating in the Sword Sect!

As for his wives, before leaving this time, he also needs to exchange a large amount of elixirs to help them raise their Root Bone and Comprehension to a fearsome extent.

With that, he himself, who shared the effects, would become even more extraordinary!

Tens of millions of Attribute Points—before heading to Sword Sect—he planned to use at least most of them.

Turning it into substantial improvement!

Not just for himself, but also for his Daoist couple, even for the ancestor and the old man.

This assassination outside Duanbei City, though somewhat thrilling, had brought immense profits.

Without the Wu Family, he really wouldn’t have managed to earn millions of Attribute Points!

Hunting a Sixth Grade Demon Beast would already require thousands, even for a Seventh Grade, hundreds!

That wasn’t easy to find…

“This time a significant gain?”

The Gu Family Ancestor couldn’t suppress his curiosity and suddenly spoke.

After leaving Duanbei City, he joined everyone on the Flying Boat.

Gu Changge having killed a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, he was eager to know how much origin power this time’s gain could exchange for elixirs.

He had placed the wooden box containing the elixirs in Gu Kuang’s great hall, which the Gu Family Ancestor had naturally noticed, even Jian Chen and Zhao Hai, two Sages, had sensed it.

But none had pointed it out.

That wooden box was also very special; the elixirs wouldn’t lose their medicinal force inside, but if other elixirs were placed, they would lose effectiveness.

It appeared to be specially prepared for this type of Root Bone-enhancing elixir, and that wooden box could perfectly prevent the medicinal force from dispersing, making it impossible to see the elixir inside.

So much so that the Gu Family Ancestor only knew he had left an Elixir for Gu Kuang, but had no idea how terrifying the effects of that Elixir were.

But it goes without saying, slaying a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm probably yielded considerable Origin.

“Hmm, the rewards are immense,”

Gu Changge nodded slightly, smiling as he spoke.

“That’s good.” The Gu Family Ancestor, upon hearing this, did not say more. All he felt was some concern about that Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm; slaying it was different from dealing with a Demon Beast, and he worried that there might not be enough Origin to exchange for the Elixir.

Once he received a positive response, he was completely reassured.

The conversation between the two was such that even Jian Chen and the other person could not discern anything significant.

They simply assumed it was the young master gaining immense experience from battling against the Ninth Grade.

Old Blind Man, however, slightly frowned.

He always felt that the young master seemed to have a big secret!

Originally, Daoist Fellow Gu Kuang was in a state close to death due to the exhaustion of his Essence Blood, but after the young master visited the Back Mountain… upon seeing him again, he had already broken through the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm and even gained the potential of an Acquired Spirit Body.

Clearly, this was the young master’s doing.

Even the Gu Family Ancestor apparently didn’t have such a heaven-defying method.

As to how it was accomplished, Old Blind Man couldn’t guess; aside from being somewhat curious, he didn’t want to dwell on these things.

He thought it best to simply carry out the young master’s future instructions diligently; the benefits would certainly not be lacking for him, so why probe into the young master’s secrets.

…

[Central State·Dongfang Family Back Mountain Valley]

Who knows what method the True Monarch Realm Ancestor of the Dongfang Family used, but it allowed Dongfang Jing to transform into a human shape before breaking through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.

“Many thanks, Ancestor!”

Dongfang Jing looked at his own limbs, and although their color was a bit different from ordinary people’s, somewhat greenish…

At least he had finally obtained a human form.

After a thousand years, having hands and feet again, having his own body,

Instead of existing between heaven and earth in the form of a Tree Demon, was for him an utter relief.

“What happened back then?”

“Did you see who the person who acted against you was?”

The True Monarch Ancestor casually waved his hand and went straight to asking the crucial question.

Dongfang Jing was indeed the most promising among the younger generation of this lineage, with an excellent chance of vying for the position of Family Head.

But due to someone’s schemes, this lineage had declined ever since, and this Ancestor naturally despised the person who had plotted against them in secret.

Now it was fortunate there was Dongfang Mingyue, a younger talent with decent promise, but even she, being a female, was without precedent of women taking over the headship of the Dongfang Family.

“It was the eldest son of the Great Elder!”

“Dongfang Lin!”

“Although I didn’t see his face, whether it was the aura, the Divine Skills, or the Magic Treasures, it was all him!”

“I can’t be mistaken!”

Upon hearing the Ancestor’s words, Dongfang Jing also spoke with clenched teeth.

Back then, he was plotted against without seeing the assailant’s face, who wore a Magic Treasure garment that concealed aura, but from all accounts, it would be no mistake that it was Dongfang Lin!

“Dongfang Lin?”

Hearing the name mentioned, the True Monarch Ancestor’s brows furrowed.

After a thousand years, the people in various positions in the Dongfang Family had long since changed.

This Dongfang Lin, the Great Elder’s eldest son, was now the current Family Head of the Dongfang Family!

And the previous Great Elder had, like himself, also broken through to the Moon Unification True Monarch Realm and had become a Supreme Elder, stepping down from his position as Great Elder long ago.

The lineage of the previous Great Elder had now become the current Family Head’s lineage!

“Please Ancestor, stand up for me!”

“Had he not taken secret actions against me, I would now likely have broken through to the Sage Realm and would have solidly occupied the position of Family Head.”

“With the resources tilted towards the Family Head, perhaps even the Ancestor would have already broken through the bottleneck of becoming a Land Immortal by now!”

Seeing that the Ancestor looked somewhat conflicted, Dongfang Jing immediately bowed again.

At that time, he was the strongest, and the Ancestor was also much stronger than the Great Elder at the time, who was already at the stage of Perfect True Man Realm.

“He’s the Family Head now,”

“But if it’s really him who did this, hmph…”

“This seat will definitely make him pay the corresponding price.”

The eyes of the True Monarch Realm Ancestor flickered dark and bright. Now that Dongfang Lin had the status of Family Head, he could not simply act against him, and he would need the judgment of the whole family.

“He’s the Family Head now?”

“That’s also…”

“By eliminating me, the most likely candidate, only he remained.”

Dongfang Jing was stunned for a moment, then let out a wry smile, realizing the situation.

Since the other party had become the Family Head, obviously he couldn’t just kill him; he would have to go through judgement by the other Ancestors.

With the support of the Ancestor, he believed there would be a fair decision.

“Actually, compared to seeking revenge,”

“I am more concerned about that Gu lad…”

“Has he really become Daoist Couple with my great-granddaughter?”

“When will they marry?”

Dongfang Jing wasn’t in a hurry to take revenge; regardless, he had now returned to the Dongfang Family.

What concerned him more was that little monster from the Human Clan out in the Northern Domain!

It seems that Brother Jian Chen has already become one of his followers.

“Is the Gu Family kid really as strong as you’ve described?”

The Ancestor lifted his eyebrows slightly; although he knew of the other’s feats of a Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm slaying Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, he had not witnessed it himself.

“Exactly what means did he use?”

“How could a Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm defeat a Ninth Grade without relying on some divine object?”

To him, that Gu Family lad must have used some heaven-defying trump card!

That was how he achieved the victory over the Ninth Grade.

Otherwise, why was he unscathed?

Except for almost depleting his Spiritual Energy.

“Well…”

“If we speak of relying on something, he indeed has a Heavenly Rank Supreme Treasure.”

“Just the Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure wasn’t the main reason,”

“The true key to his victory was the Innate Divine Ability that only those with the Talent of a Dao Body could master!”

“Young one, may I ask if the Ancestor has seen many Heavenly Pride Sons with the Talent of a Dao Body?”

“How many Innate Divine Abilities did they master?”

Recalling the events, Dongfang Jing couldn’t help shuddering.

That guy was just too fierce.

Defeating a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm cultivator wasn’t due to Magic Treasures!

Under equal strength, having a higher Grade of Magic Treasure naturally offers an advantage.

However, with a significant gap in Realms, the usefulness of Magic Treasures becomes much diminished.

After all, even if a common Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm cultivator were given a Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure, even if they exerted all their strength to activate it, the power unleashed wouldn’t compare to a casual strike from a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!

The boost in strength provided by the Magic Treasure isn’t enough to bridge the gap of three Major Realms!

“Hmm?”

“Even those with the Talent of a Dao Body can only master one Innate Divine Ability.”

“You think the Talent of a Dao Body is like the Demon Clan?”

“Only those Demon Beasts, upon the awakening of their Bloodline, might master up to two additional Innate Divine Abilities.”

“That’s not right, why would you ask that?”

“Could it be that the Gu Family’s little one…”

True Monarch Ancestor casually answered his question, but after speaking, he suddenly frowned and stared at Dongfang Jing with some uncertainty.

“That’s right.”

“Not just one Innate Divine Ability!”

“Just the abilities I saw with my own eyes, there were at least four Innate Divine Abilities!”

“So I asked if the Ancestor has seen anyone master multiple Innate Divine Abilities…”

Dongfang Jing nodded heavily, speaking earnestly.

At that time, he had personally witnessed the opponent use the Golden Lotus Body Protection first, impervious to all magic.

He used that mysterious dark-golden Taoist Pupil, instantly learning the opponent’s Divine Abilities!

And moreover, he executed an Innate Divine Ability of ‘Fatian Xiangdi,’ directly overpowering the Black Flame Transformation of the Wu Family’s Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!

And then there was that method of transforming his body’s Spiritual Energy, which should also be an Innate Divine Ability!

Just these already accounted for four.

He even suspected that the opponent might have mastered a fifth Innate Divine Ability, which was the incredible ability to suddenly appear behind the Wu Family’s Ninth Grade!

No hint of energy was given off, as if he was still on the spot one moment, and by the next, he had appeared beside the Wu Family’s Ninth Grade.

Even, there was no spatial fluctuation.

This is too strange…

After he listed the Innate Divine Abilities that he had witnessed, the True Monarch of the Dongfang Family also fell silent for a moment.

His eyelids involuntarily twitched a few times.

Dongfang Jing’s words, naturally, couldn’t be false.

But how could there be a person in the world who mastered four, or even five Innate Divine Abilities!?

Is this still the Human Clan?

Even that True Dragon, relying on its Bloodline heritage, only had three Innate Divine Abilities!

To have five Innate Divine Abilities is more monstrous than a Demon Beast, and even more absurd than the Dragon Clan!

Is this even a human?

“The Extreme Dao Body might possibly master a second Innate Divine Ability…”

“But, definitely not more than three!”

“Absolutely impossible.”

After a long while, True Monarch Ancestor took a deep breath and said.

Perhaps Jing kid lacks experience and mistook the opponent’s techniques as Innate Divine Abilities?

“Maybe it’s just my shallow knowledge that’s mistaken.”

Hearing the Ancestor speak this way, Dongfang Jing could only sigh helplessly, feeling somewhat unconfident.

But then a sudden flash of insight struck him, and he couldn’t help but say, “What if he isn’t the Extreme Dao Body?”

“If his innate talent is even higher than that of the Extreme Dao Body!”

“Could he then master more Innate Divine Abilities!”

“If his talent surpasses that of the Extreme Dao Body, it would also explain how he could slay an Annihilation Realm expert across three Major Realms!”

The True Monarch Ancestor was about to dismiss this as even more impossible by raising his hand!

The Extreme Dao Body, after all, had the best-recorded talent in this world.

To surpass that, though there’s a name for it, the Sacred Body, no one has truly reached it, at least according to the records in Central State, no such monster has existed!

But as he raised his hand to speak, he found himself unable to utter a word.

It seemed…

If that kid indeed possessed the never-before-seen Talent of the Sacred Body, then everything would truly make sense.

Whether it was his improbable speed of breakthroughs, his ability to transcend three Major Realms in combat, or the seemingly impossible scenario of one person mastering four or five Innate Divine Abilities!

It seems, only a Sacred Body could achieve these…

But, could this really be possible?

“Regardless, at least for now, this young fellow is on good terms with our Dongfang Family.”

“Especially, he is on good terms with my lineage.”

“Once he arrives in Central State, if he truly is a Sacred Body, it will become apparent.”

“The truly gifted can hardly conceal their abilities!”

The Ancestor pondered for a moment, his eyes faintly gleaming.

He didn’t deny Dongfang Jing’s speculation.

Regardless of whether this child’s talent and strength belong to a Sacred Body or not, it doesn’t matter anymore.

While he’s still not too strong, provide him with full support!

The future rewards are likely not to disappoint.

Investing in a prodigy is something many Great Cultivators do; after all, at their level, many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are no longer useful. It’s better to use them to benefit the young prodigies, to establish cause and effect, and who knows, they might receive unexpected returns in the future!

But the difficult part is, the true prodigies are not lacking supporters.

Even, not everyone has the chance to help.

Like those from the Immortal Ascension Sect, obviously, they don’t have the chance to invest in Gu Changge.

They’ve even pretty much become enemies already.

They inevitably won’t want to see him rise and will target him in the future.”

“You should rest well during this time.”

“As for the matter from before, we will decide after the other few have left seclusion.”

True Monarch Ancestor didn’t ponder further, the more he thought about it, the more preposterous it seemed, so he simply waved his hand and let Dongfang Jing stay there, while he sat on the stone disk, closed his eyes, and said no more.

“Sacred Body…”

“If true, once he arrives in Central State he will be unstoppable.”

Seeing that the Ancestor had stopped speaking, Dongfang Jing tactfully found a spot to sit cross-legged.

He couldn’t help but look forward to the spectacle that this young man would make upon arriving in Central State.

If he truly possesses the Talent of the Sacred Body, no one could overshadow his brilliance!
