Chapter 50: Great Divine Ability Fruit Position

Earth General, Marshal of the Five Sacred Mountains,

Could the next step be to be enfeoffed as a Prince?

Earth Emperor?

This cultivation technique has excellent endurance, combat ability, and subsequent refinement of Dharma seeds, but it is not the path Jiang Yan is taking.

However...

Jiang Yan asked, "How are the grades of Old Records classified?"

The Book Mountain Grand Year explained, "For Old Records, Grade One is the highest and Grade Nine is the lowest. The higher the grade, the stronger the Dharma Domain and the larger its coverage; the reverse is also true.

If one refines a Grade Nine Old Record, without a heaven-defying opportunity, there is no possibility of further breakthroughs. Most Old Records refined are Grade Eight or Grade Seven.

Grade Six is already a genius, Grade Five is a dragon among men, Grade Four is rarely seen even in an entire province, Grade Three is a monster, and as for Grade Two..."

It paused for a moment and continued, "This requires not only top-tier talent but also great destiny and great opportunity, and one must practice a lineage related to immortals and gods, such as a Daoist Scripture.

Those who reach Grade Two have a better chance of gestating a Divine Ability seed, mastering the prototype of a Divine Ability in advance, and have the possibility of ascending to the Great Divine Ability rank. Each one is a heaven-proud child who suppresses their era.

As for Grade One, it only exists in legends. As long as one does not die halfway, there is a ten percent probability of achieving the Great Divine Ability fruit position."

Great Divine Ability, mentioned in Zhao Yinman's notes, is several major tiers higher than Old Records. They overlook the ages, and they themselves are destiny.

It is the highest level a mortal can reach; one step further, and one becomes an immortal or god.

The immortals and gods here do not refer to local land gods or heavenly soldiers and generals, but to great existences at the level of the Five Elders and Six Sovereigns, which in mythology belong to the level of main gods.

Great Divine Ability—aside from not being immortal and undying, those who master Divine Abilities are gods among men.

Jiang Yan nodded and continued reading:

[Cave Abyss Fengdu Summoning Method (Top Tier):

Pros: A method of the Underworld Department. It constructs a small ghost domain within oneself to collect hundreds of ghosts, allowing for the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, and can harvest Fengdu Dharma Qi to refine the Nether Mountain Dharma seed.

Has a probability of advancing to Grade Four—Fengdu Cave Abyss Nether Mountain Old Record.

Cons: Requires an Old Record of the Underworld path as a foundation to practice. At the same time, controlling a hundred ghosts requires using one's own body as a medium, turning the body into a prison, suffering daily, and maintaining the balance of the ghosts to succeed.]

Jiang Yan has a Demon God embryo and can gestate perfect offspring; there is absolutely no need to use his own body to feed a hundred ghosts with so many side effects.

Next.

[Mysterious Capital Thunder Fire Kui Ox Demon-Refining Record]

[Pros: Uses thunder and fire to refine the body, inscribing various thunder talismans upon oneself, giving birth to the Kui Ox Drum Dharma seed. Extremely rigid and extremely yang.

Cons: Will encounter Jia-Wood lesions, frequently suffer lightning strikes, gradually carbonize, and requires Kui Ox blood as a primer. Can refine a Grade Four Old Record.]

Thunder method... can be listed as an alternative.

[Three Corpses Dragon-Transformation God-Sealing Method],

[Pros: Refines one's own Three Corpses gods, slashes them out, and assists in leaping over the Dragon Gate to transform into Three Corpses Dragons, sealing one's own god. One breath transforms into three dragons, and combat power triples instantly.

Cons: Must suppress the Three Corpses dragons at all times; one careless moment and one will be possessed.

Can refine a Grade Four Three Corpses Dragon-Transformation God-Sealing Old Record.]

The ability is good, but Jiang Yan does not like letting his Three Corpses develop intelligence; who knows when the Three Corpses and Nine Worms will hold a banquet inside his body.

Besides this,

There are also [Heavenly Demon Incarnation Secret Record], [Original Maitreya Method], [Eastern Extremity Longevity Suffering-Relieving Lotus-Seeding Scripture], [Lesser Yellow Court Face-God Record], and so on.

The names are more high-sounding than the last, but upon closer inspection, most are incomplete fragments, and the cultivation conditions are extremely harsh.

Indeed, there is no need to worry about being targeted...

Because they are impossible to cultivate!

Besides these, there are also cultivation methods from major forces like Longhu Mountain and the Zhengyi Alliance, but they only have the basic chapters.

It is not that they want to turn official personnel into food; they do not have that kind of courage.

"This is trying to use the official organization to borrow a chicken to lay eggs!"

Jiang Yan complained inwardly, and for a moment, he was dazzled by the choices.

His main cultivation method is the [Burning Lamp Fire Prison Visualization Method], which is a true immortal-god level inheritance, pointing directly to the path of eternal soul life.

Originally a good thing, but now that he knows cultivation paths can cannibalize each other, and given the subtle changes happening to him recently,

Jiang Yan, who originally wanted to pick a random cultivation method as a transition, began to take it seriously.

The new method must have sufficient potential and preferably be able to curb the [Burning Lamp Method], so it cannot be related to Buddhism.

Otherwise, he would just be making himself into a little Buddhist cake, constantly giving off the vibe of "Master, I smell so good."

"A single method either doesn't match, or they are all fragments with disparate levels. What should I do?"

Jiang Yan could not help but frown. Thinking of Ba Lie's previous hint that he could choose three cultivation methods for reference, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

He turned and asked, "Director Ba, can one take the original copies of the cultivation methods?"

"Are you dreaming!"

Ba Lie rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "The original secret manuals are manifestations of transcendent power. They store the Dao rhymes of the founders when they wrote them, allowing one to contemplate different artistic conceptions and comprehend techniques. Even if the patriarchs came, they might not be able to replicate them.

Usually, only copied jade slips are given. You touch them with your forehead, the information is transferred and then they disappear, and you must sign an oath not to spread them. It all depends on your own hard work.

But you are a Grade A-plus talent, and headquarters has specially approved an extra wisp of Dao rhyme for you. Although it causes damage to the original, it can be slowly nurtured in the Book Mountain Grand Year's [Book Mountain Sea of Books Dharma Domain] using the knowledge Qi of billions of books, and it can be restored in a few decades."

A wisp of Dao rhyme!

It's settled!

Jiang Yan made his decision, tapped his finger on the tablet repeatedly, and said:

"I've chosen."

"Little Jiang Yan, you are choosing three at once, and one of them is a fragment suspected to be an immortal-god inheritance. Even if you can find the corresponding knowledge, it will be full of difficulties. Not to mention wasting time, one careless move and you will be buried in it.

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? Why not choose one first, and if you can't cultivate it, you can come back and change it without wasting time." The Book Mountain Grand Year's voice sounded, filled with surprise.

This is... too confident.

Jiang Yan shook his head and said seriously, "No need to reconsider."

As long as it does not involve his own secrets, there is nothing to hide.

In the official organization, only by showing that one is a peerless genius can one receive more attention and resource allocation.

Ba Lie looked at Jiang Yan and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"

Receiving an affirmative reply, he said no more.

He knew Jiang Yan was not an impulsive person; since he had made a decision, he must have his own ideas.

Ba Lie said, "Lord Book Mountain Grand Year, let it be so."

"Young people these days really don't listen to the old; they only cry when they suffer losses." The Book Mountain Grand Year gave a light hum.

Hum!

The vast sea of books rotated, and three blurry light clusters drifted out and fell into Jiang Yan's hands.

Afterwards, the two were thrown out.

The Book Mountain gradually faded, leaving only a voice echoing: "As long as the Dao rhyme hasn't been used up, you can come back to exchange them."

"So he's a tsundere little old man."

Jiang Yan sneered in his heart, then followed the guidance of his credentials and returned to the present world.

After saying goodbye to Ba Lie, he returned to his room.

In his mind, the three light clusters shone. Even though they were only the basic transcendent chapters, they still manifested visions and emitted the sound of chanting Daoist scriptures, mysterious and profound.

The first book, the [Yellow Court Returning-Store Body-Refining Scripture] for tempering the five viscera, can cluster the five elements, cultivate the Flowery Pool, ignite the Life Fire, construct the Yellow Court Dao Palace within the body, and internally nourish one billion eighty million gods.

Cultivating the Returning-Store Yellow Court Dao foundation can nourish any of the Ten Heavenly Stems Dharma seeds, and the True Qi is endless.

It can be called a jack-of-all-trades Dao foundation.

The second book is the [Heavenly Void Purple Star Son of Heaven Qi-Gathering Scripture] for observing destiny, sensing disasters, and cultivating the Dao of Luck. It also corresponds to the Ten Heavenly Stems, refining the power of the stars to command all Qi.

And the one mentioned by the Book Mountain Grand Year, suspected to be related to the immortal-god fragments...

[Eastern Extremity Longevity Suffering-Relieving Lotus-Seeding Scripture].
