Chapter 190

"This thing isn't for you to eat." Zhang Taixuan frowned with distaste; with a thought, the ghost instantly turned to ash.

Gazing at the elixir in his hand, Zhang Taixuan fell into thought.

"This elixir can awaken potential and unlock a divine ability—let's call it the Divine Ability Elixir."

"I wonder if this elixir can help me awaken a divine ability?"

Thinking this, Zhang Taixuan swallowed one Divine Ability Elixir outright, then closed his eyes and focused inward.

The next moment, he felt his body grow warm, his blood flow slightly quickened—and then nothing happened.

"Not enough?"

He swallowed another elixir; his body changed again. This time, he sensed an extremely faint power stirring within his flesh.

He swallowed two more elixirs in succession, then activated the Guiyuan Divine Ability, transforming his magic power into chaotic force and channeling it into those faintly stirring energies.

Instantly, the previously feeble changes surged powerfully, and a mysterious ripple spread outward.

"This divine ability is… Embryonic Transformation and Metamorphosis!"

【You have comprehended the extraordinary ripple, understood its essence, and gained the Embryonic Transformation and Metamorphosis divine ability.】

【You have condensed a divine ability rune based on this ability.】

Within mere breaths, a rune forged from chaotic qi appeared within his flesh, searing itself into every part of his body.

With a thought, Zhang Taixuan's appearance shifted drastically—he became an infant, then instantly an old man.

Even his aura, destiny, and life essence changed completely.

Embryonic Transformation and Metamorphosis—one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly罡 Divine Abilities, a truly earth-shattering great divine ability.

This divine ability doesn't merely change age, gender, or appearance—it achieves supreme transformation. Most importantly, it alters one's heavenly fate; even if Zhang Taixuan now entered a foreign world targeted by its laws, he could transform into a native of that world and evade heavenly surveillance.

This is nothing like mere physical disguise techniques.

It is the difference between heaven and earth.

"..." The Fire Kirin edged closer, puzzled.

Its master had changed—even his life aura was different; its copper-bell-sized eyes were filled with bewilderment.

"Brother Taixuan, what happened?" Tianye Yangcai exclaimed in shock. "Does this elixir have this kind of function?!"

"The elixir merely awakens your innate potential, turning latent possibilities within your flesh into divine abilities." Zhang Taixuan returned to his original form, patted the Fire Kirin, and it fell still again. "As for which divine ability awakens—it depends on individual destiny."

If a person's body holds no such potential, the Divine Ability Elixir can never awaken a corresponding divine ability.

The Divine Ability Elixir awakens—it does not create something from nothing.

Zhang Taixuan had mastered three treasure arts: True Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin—and now he had mastered transformation.

During cultivation, his flesh had long borne the imprint of transformation; thus, the Divine Ability Elixir could awaken Embryonic Transformation and Metamorphosis.

"The Divine Ability Elixir awakens countless possibilities within the flesh and soul. The stronger the cultivator, the more extraordinary the elixir's effects."

Beyond the divine ability, his lifespan had also undergone a terrifying increase.

The greater the divine ability awakened by the Divine Ability Elixir, the longer the lifespan.

His level of divine ability awakening was naturally extremely high; after careful calculation, his lifespan had increased by thirty thousand years. Combined with the Longevity Spell's blessing, his current lifespan now neared two hundred thousand years.

"Yangcai, do you want some?"

"This elixir must be very precious, right?"

"It's fine."

Hearing this, Tianye Yangcai took the elixir and swallowed it at once, then sat beside Zhang Taixuan and began diligently refining it.

Gradually, her aura began to strengthen.

Within her body, thunder rumbled.

On her skin, lightning flickered.

After about half an hour, Tianye Yangcai opened her eyes happily and said, "Brother Taixuan, I've gained a divine ability."

"No, you should say you've gained another divine ability." Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly. "Didn't you already master Summon Wind and Rain?"

"Oh, right." Tianye Yangcai realized. "This ability seems much weaker than Summon Wind and Rain—it can harness wind, rain, and lightning to form a divine manifestation and attack enemies."

As she spoke, a humanoid lightning manifestation appeared behind her, currents of electricity swirling and crackling loudly, radiating formidable energy—quite impressive indeed.

Calling it a divine ability is misleading—it's merely a simple application of Summon Wind and Rain's power.

Compared to the great divine ability Summon Wind and Rain, this is merely a minor technique, akin to the Heavenly Four Symbols Scripture from some world.

Still, it's more than enough for Tianye Yangcai—it adds another layer to her combat options.

Moreover, this divine ability can grow stronger as her extraordinary power develops.

"Next is the Wind Manifestation!"

"The Rain Manifestation!"

After demonstrating all three manifestations, Tianye Yangcai paused. "I also feel my lifespan has increased dramatically!"

"But I don't know how much?"

Zhang Taixuan silently calculated, then quickly answered: "You now have roughly four thousand years of lifespan. This elixir added you twenty-eight hundred years. If you continue developing, your lifespan will grow even longer."

Tianye Yangcai cheered: "That much?!"
