Chapter 80: Divine Abilities! My Son Is a Genius!
Chapter 80: Divine Abilities! My Son Is a Genius!
Su Nan's sudden silence caught Wu Jiuling off guard.
Seeing him staring intently at the path below, Wu Jiuling's mind raced.
"Could it be that my son has been bullied so badly that he can't sit still anymore?"
With this thought in mind, Wu Jiuling turned to look below.
The moment he did, his expression hardened.
In his line of sight, the boy who had been lagging behind just moments ago was now ascending with each step, far outpacing everyone else in a seemingly effortless manner.
That alone would have been impressive, but the technique he was using left Wu Jiuling utterly stunned.
"Leaving marks with each step, the essence of the Way is innate!"
"This is..."
Wu Jiuling's grip on his wine flask tightened as he murmured, "A divine ability!"
In the realm of cultivation, divine abilities generally fall into two categories.
The first type is formed by combining secret techniques of the four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. These divine abilities are incredibly complex and not easily mastered. To achieve them, one must first condense all the secret techniques into their life-bound techniques, then combine them with Dao seals to form a divine ability. The strength of such a divine ability depends on the combination of the secret techniques' levels and the compatibility between them. This type of divine ability is known as a "Poly-Element Divine Ability," where the diverse combinations of life-bound Dao seals can unleash immense power.
The second type is known as a "Mono-Element Divine Ability."
Unlike the Poly-Element Divine Abilities, these are not formed by combining secret techniques and Dao seals. Instead, they are derived from a deep understanding of nature and the forces of the universe, allowing one to harness the power of the heavens and earth, transforming it into a personal divine ability.
These divine abilities are equally powerful, capable of controlling wind, fire, lightning, the balance of yin and yang, and the changing of the seasons. Any profound understanding of the natural world can be condensed into a divine ability, enabling one to wield the forces of the universe.
Poly-Element Divine Abilities fuse one's own power to reach its peak.
Mono-Element Divine Abilities, on the other hand, harness the power of the universe, also displaying terrifying might.
Both types have their strengths, and it's hard to say which is superior. They are both incredibly powerful offensive techniques.
However, both types of divine abilities are extremely difficult to cultivate. Whether it's condensing multiple life-bound Dao seals or gaining a deep understanding of nature, such feats are only considered after reaching the Fourth Realm of cultivation.
But what was happening with Su Changqing?
A mere mortal, and yet he was using a divine ability?
Wu Jiuling's cultivation had indeed declined, but his discerning eye remained sharp.
The characteristic of the step that altered the landscape was definitely not something a secret technique could achieve!
It contained the essence of natural space!
By finding the spatial nodes and stepping through them, one could appear in another place, as if crossing mountains and rivers with a single step, a different world with each step.
This was a typical "Mono-Element Divine Ability," and specifically, one of the most difficult to master: the natural space type.
Although Su Changqing's use of it was still quite raw, how old was he? What level of cultivation did he have?
A mere mortal, and yet he had mastered a divine ability?
Wu Jiuling was completely stunned. He stared blankly for a moment before turning to look at Su Nan, his expression stiff.
"Is this what you meant by 'he would be bullied badly'?"
Indeed, he was being bullied badly, but it was the other prodigies who were on the receiving end.
A simple entrance trial, and he was already using a divine ability!
Wasn't this bullying?
However, at that moment, Su Nan also looked bewildered, his gaze fixed on Su Changqing below, unable to regain his composure.
No one could hear the roar of frustration echoing in his mind.
"Which damn fool taught Changqing to cultivate! I explicitly told him not to start before entering the sect!"
"But how could he have mastered a divine ability? What's going on? A mere mortal can actually learn a divine ability?!"
"Impossible! Changqing has been with me for twenty years; where did he find the time to cultivate?!"
"Could he have started after leaving the village?"
"Can he really learn a divine technique in just a few days? And it's even a natural space-type one!?"
"Twenty years of raising my son in poverty, and he ends up using divine techniques? What kind of joke is this!"
Su Nan's mind was reeling with shock. He was genuinely stunned.
In his memory, Changqing had never been exposed to cultivation, not even reading until the past couple of years.
Logically, Changqing shouldn't even know a single Yellow Rank secret technique.
But the result was that Changqing had pulled out something significant!
He actually knew how to use divine techniques!?!!
This revelation left Su Nan, who had always raised his son in poverty, completely dumbfounded.
The image of Changqing as a simple, unassuming boy shattered in an instant.
"My son learned divine techniques in the mortal world?"
But as the shock wore off, the corners of Su Nan's mouth couldn't help but curl upward, his eyes filled with excitement and joy.
Divine techniques were not easy to find, let alone learn.
In those holy lands, every family had divine techniques, but how many of the younger generation could actually master them?
Moreover, those prodigies had cultivation when they started their training.
But Changqing, who had never practiced any cultivation techniques, could use divine techniques. The difficulty level was on a completely different plane.
At this moment, Su Nan finally had a clear understanding of Su Changqing.
"My son! He's an extraordinary prodigy!"
Su Nan couldn't resist laughing out loud, his laughter brimming with pride and excitement.
He had always thought Changqing lacked talent, which was why he only allowed him to start cultivation after turning twenty.
This might seem contradictory, but it was a different path.
Better to mature late and bloom with a bang than to be mediocre from the start.
Growing up accepting his own ordinariness would prevent Changqing from giving up at the slightest setback. Instead, he would rise with determination.
With the Su family's resources, they could ensure he would steadily improve and eventually surpass everyone else.
This was the true purpose of raising Changqing in poverty for twenty years—to temper his character!
But what Su Nan hadn't expected was that Changqing's character had indeed been tempered, but he was not just an ordinary talent; he was a world-class prodigy!
Even with average talent, Su Nan was confident he could cultivate Changqing into a supreme powerhouse.
With world-class talent and an unyielding spirit, how far could he go?
"These twenty years were not in vain!"
Su Nan looked down at Changqing, his eyes gleaming with excitement, murmuring to himself,
"I think I've cultivated a remarkable genius!"
...
"Are you sure the one I'm supposed to comfort is him?"
Wu Jiuling, standing beside Su Nan, watched his changing expression and hesitantly pointed to Changqing below.
"This isn't about comforting him at all!"
Su Nan's heart tightened at the words. He immediately released his aura to cover the divine technique's resonance Changqing had left behind.
Twenty years of effort had shaped Changqing's exceptional character, and he couldn't let it be ruined.
Even when Changqing was thought to be average, Su Nan had carefully considered how to suppress his talents appropriately.
Now that he knew Changqing's true potential, he couldn't let him become arrogant and complacent!
"Activate the Saint Rank pressure on the Path to Heaven early!"
"Focus on the leading youth first, and bring him down quickly!"
Su Nan transmitted his message to the head of the Little Immortal Sect.
He didn't reveal Changqing's true identity; otherwise, the elders of the Little Immortal Sect would grovel and flatter him.
That would defeat the purpose of establishing the sect.
Thus, when the head of the Little Immortal Sect received the message, he was taken aback.
"The Domain Lord is personally suppressing a youth with his aura?"
Behind the Little Immortal Sect, 'Miao Ba' raised his gaze to the Path to Heaven, where a young man in rough hemp clothes stood, and murmured,
"Does this kid have a grudge against the Domain Lord?"
