Ordinary divine techniques are performed by using mental power as the brush and primordial energy as the ink, drawing divine patterns in the air. The primordial energy flows through these divine patterns, thus unleashing corresponding power.

However, enhancing divine techniques are different. When performing enhancing divine techniques, one also uses mental power as the brush and primordial energy as the ink, but instead of drawing divine patterns in the air, one must inscribe them on their own body!

"If I want to perfect this divine technique, I must know its flaws!" Ye Wei gazed at the figure that suddenly appeared in his mind, staring at the 136 divine patterns glowing with a blue-green light around the figure's body, falling into deep thought.

In the grand hall, hundreds of martial artists sat on blue-green cushions in front of a large jade wall, each earnestly comprehending the divine patterns. Three days passed in a flash.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Thirty-six blue-green light beams shot out from thirty-six massive stone pillars, converging in front of the large jade wall. Pu Yuan's figure reappeared before everyone.

"Time's up!" Pu Yuan looked down at the crowd, his slightly hoarse, deep voice suddenly sounding in everyone's ears, awakening those who were still comprehending the divine patterns.

"Time flies so fast!" Everyone opened their eyes, their expressions varied. Some were disheartened, some were anxious, and a few were confident.

"The Profound Heaven Star Transformation divine technique is composed of 136 divine patterns. In these three days, I comprehended twelve divine patterns. Pu Yuan said that understanding a bit of the essence would count as passing the test. I wonder if I passed..."

"I comprehended fifteen divine patterns!"

"Unfortunately, I only comprehended eighteen divine patterns..."

Those who comprehended a dozen or so divine patterns looked at Pu Yuan with trepidation, unsure if they had passed the test.

"I only comprehended four divine patterns, I doubt I passed the test!"

"There's no hope. These divine patterns are too complex. In three days, I didn't comprehend a single one..." Those who comprehended only a few divine patterns, or none at all, looked dejected and dispirited, their moods very low.

Hong Xun and Xue Yao glanced at the dejected martial artists around them, their expressions also tense. Although they had comprehended many divine patterns, they had not mastered the technique, and they had little confidence in passing the test.

"Hahaha! What, is comprehending this divine technique difficult? I don't think so!" Jin Yan swept his gaze over the dejected crowd, a smug look on his face. How could these mediocre individuals be worthy of comprehending the Seventy-Two Celestial Constellations Creation Divine Technique?

"Hmph, what are you smug about? If we didn't comprehend this divine technique, did you?"

Jin Yan's arrogant tone made everyone frown. The 136 divine patterns of the Profound Heaven Star Transformation divine technique were much more complex than ordinary divine patterns. Even a divine pattern master couldn't fully master it in three days. What was Jin Yan? Just because he comprehended a few more divine patterns, did that mean he would pass the test? Pu Yuan said that comprehending a bit of the essence would count as passing, but who knew what level that was?

"Hehe, although I didn't fully comprehend this divine technique, I comprehended eighty-one divine patterns! If I don't pass the test, you have even less chance!" Jin Yan said proudly. Comprehending eighty-one divine patterns in three days, he was very satisfied with his achievement, far surpassing everyone else.

"Jin Yan actually comprehended eighty-one divine patterns?!" Hearing this, everyone drew a sharp breath. Jin Yan had indeed comprehended far more divine patterns than they had.

Although everyone disliked Jin Yan's arrogant attitude, they had to admit that his talent was indeed strong! He truly was a genius of Ningcheng!

Lin Ziyuan, sitting cross-legged beside Ye Wei, fluttered her thick eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes. A hint of disappointment flashed in her beautiful, pale purple eyes.

"Sigh, I still couldn't comprehend this Profound Heaven Star Transformation divine technique..." Lin Ziyuan sighed silently. Although she had comprehended 108 divine patterns, she couldn't be happy without fully comprehending the technique.

Unlike Jin Yan, who became smug after comprehending eighty-one divine patterns, the value of an enhancing divine technique was immeasurable. If she could comprehend this technique, even without obtaining the Ice Emperor's legacy, this trip would not be in vain. Unfortunately, Lin Ziyuan also failed to comprehend the technique!

"Hmm? Xiao Wei hasn't woken up yet?" Lin Ziyuan looked at Ye Wei, who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, still in a state of comprehension.

"Xiao Wei's soul perception is incredibly strong, even stronger than an ordinary divine pattern master. Moreover, Xiao Wei's divine pattern compatibility is at the supreme level. If anyone can comprehend this technique, it must be Xiao Wei!" Lin Ziyuan gazed straight at Ye Wei, her eyes shimmering with a faint purple light, filled with hope that Ye Wei would comprehend the technique.

Jin Yan's gaze fell on Lin Ziyuan beside him. Among these people, only Lin Ziyuan had the qualifications to compete for the Ice Emperor's legacy! He was very wary of her.

"Begin the test!" Pu Yuan looked at the varied expressions of the crowd, his face expressionless, and raised his hand slightly. Instantly, a blue-green light beam descended.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Blue-green divine patterns flickered in the light beam, and a human-shaped figure with its upper body exposed appeared beside the crowd.

In this human-shaped figure's body, there were 136 dim divine patterns.

"Place your palms on the human-shaped figure. The dim divine patterns in the figure will light up according to the ones you have comprehended."

Pu Yuan pointed at the human-shaped figure and said in a deep voice.

"Senior, how many divine patterns must we comprehend to pass the test?" The crowd looked at the human-shaped figure, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at Pu Yuan, asking with some trepidation.

"I will tell you after the test results are out!" Pu Yuan's deep voice contained a hint of anticipation, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over Ye Wei. Although Ye Wei was only at the apprentice realm, Pu Yuan sensed a mysterious aura from him.

"It's been over three hundred years. I wonder if anyone among these people has comprehended the technique. Three hundred years of solitude is truly too long!" Pu Yuan looked down at the crowd, muttering to himself, his gaze hazy, his figure ethereal.

"I'll go first!" Jin Yan eagerly walked to the human-shaped figure, confidently approaching it and placing his palm on it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

As Jin Yan's palm touched the human-shaped figure, a mysterious force surged into his mind through his palm. Instantly, eighty-one of the 136 dim divine patterns in the figure glowed with a blue-green light.

These eighty-one divine patterns were precisely the ones Jin Yan had comprehended!

"Eighty-one divine patterns? Not bad, next!" Pu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Comprehending eighty-one divine patterns in three days, if given enough time, this young man had a good chance of mastering the technique.

"Three divine patterns? Next!"

"Next!"

"Next!" One by one, the crowd stepped forward. Among the hundreds of martial artists, only Jin Yan had comprehended eighty-one divine patterns. Hong Xun and Xue Yao had comprehended seventy-two and seventy-five divine patterns, respectively.

Now, only Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan were left untested!

"Sigh, eighty-one divine patterns is a threshold. If one can comprehend eighty-one divine patterns in three days, there's a slight chance of mastering the technique. If one can't comprehend eighty-one divine patterns in three days, there's no hope of ever comprehending the technique." Pu Yuan said pensively.

Hearing Pu Yuan's words, a hint of smugness flashed in Jin Yan's eyes, while Hong Xun and Xue Yao's gazes dimmed.

Ye Wei had already woken up from his state of comprehension and opened his eyes when the testing began.

Looking at the test results, Ye Wei was somewhat surprised. Was comprehending the Profound Heaven Star Transformation divine technique really that difficult? He didn't feel it at all. The 136 divine patterns, a few were relatively easy to grasp, and then it was easy to extrapolate and master all of them. Why had everyone only comprehended a few?

If Jin Yan knew what Ye Wei was thinking at this moment, he would probably be so angry that he would spit blood. He had spent a lot of effort to comprehend those eighty-one divine patterns!

Pu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Given your talents, comprehending over eighty-one divine patterns is already very good. Back in the day, the Ice Emperor, with his extraordinary talent, comprehended 108 divine patterns in three days! Then, with his astonishing comprehension ability, he successfully mastered the Profound Heaven Star Transformation divine technique within half a year!"

"Mastering this technique, the Ice Emperor laid the foundation. From then on, he soared to the top, step by step, becoming the strongest in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty!" Pu Yuan looked at the tense crowd below, recalling that distant memory.

"So, the Ice Emperor only comprehended 108 divine patterns!" Jin Yan became even more excited upon hearing Pu Yuan's words. It seemed that comprehending eighty-one divine patterns was already quite good.

"108 divine patterns is also a threshold. If one can comprehend 108 divine patterns in three days, there's a high chance of mastering the Profound Heaven Star Transformation!" Pu Yuan continued.

"Next!"

After a moment's thought, Pu Yuan's gaze fell on Lin Ziyuan and Ye Wei. If these two also failed, he would have to cultivate Jin Yan, even though the hope was slim, it was better than nothing. He wanted to continue the Ice Emperor's legacy.
