Chapter 80

After Chen Fan and his two companions left the Peony Garden, they returned to Yinlong Pond that night. What would take ordinary people two to three days to walk, the three of them completed in less than half a day. Upon returning, Chen Fan began to set up a massive Mist Illusion Array to block the people from Dongdu City who were about to arrive.

He moved the mountain protection array from Yunwu Mountain to Yinlong Pond. Fortunately, there were enough Yin Yuan Crystals, plus the many jade stones previously offered by the Yin Gui Sect. Chen Fan consecutively set up seven Mist Illusion Arrays on seven mountain peaks, then centered them around Yinlong Pond, linking them together into a super-large array cluster.

On the day the array was completed, not only Master Wu and Axiu, but also the people of the Yin Gui Sect were stunned. The seven mountains centered around Yinlong Pond were all enveloped in a vast sea of white mist. This mist, formed by Yin Sha Qi (negative energy), made ordinary people feel cold all over, their strength quickly dissipating, and they would lose their sense of direction. Even the Earth's magnetic field would be distorted, and modern radar signals would be absorbed by this white mist.

From the sky, it seemed as if a white silk ribbon had been added to the Qishan mountain range.

"After this array is completed, you can use my jade talisman to move freely within it. But be careful, if you lose the jade talisman and get trapped in the array, no one will save you," Chen Fan scanned the people of the Yin Gui Sect.

"Yes, Mr. Chen," Mu Hongsheng, Yan Zhengze, and others replied solemnly.

After setting up the large array, Chen Fan began to focus on cultivation.

The moment he obtained the black strange stone, he planned to cultivate the fourth level of the Void Body Cultivation Technique, the Golden Eyes.

The Void Body Cultivation Technique is divided into five levels:

Ice Skin, Jade Bone, Silver Blood, Golden Eyes, Dao Body.

The first three levels focus on strengthening the physical body and aligning it more closely with the elemental energy of heaven and earth. The last level transforms the physical body into a pre-natal body, allowing one to directly enter the pre-natal realm without any hindrance.

The fourth level, 'Golden Eyes,' is different.

This is a 'divine ability'!

What is a divine ability? Any spell requires a cultivator to first form the hand seals and activate it, which takes time to prepare. But in battle, where situations change in an instant, how can you afford to take so much time?

Therefore, cultivators prefer magical artifacts over spells, as artifacts can be activated with a thought.

Spells are like firearms and bows, which require preparation, while artifacts are like long swords and sabers, which can be used immediately upon drawing, making them more suitable for close combat.

Divine abilities are different from both.

A divine ability is a skill that a cultivator inherently possesses, like one's hands and feet. It can be activated without even a thought. Moreover, once a divine ability is cultivated, it improves as the cultivator's magical power and realm grow, without the need for additional refinement like artifacts or the arduous cultivation of spells.

Why is entering the Divine Proficiency Realm different from other realms? It is because one possesses a divine ability.

Among the many major realms of cultivation, the Qi Condensation Realm is the first, which is further divided into the Foundation Establishment, Divine Proficiency, and Divine Sea realms. Only after fully cultivating these three realms can one break through the Qi Condensation Realm and enter the pre-natal realm, followed by the Golden Core and Yuan婴 realms, the Deity Transformation and Return to Void realms, and finally the Dao Union and Tribulation Crossing realms.

The Divine Proficiency and Divine Sea realms are collectively known as the 'Divine Ability Realm.'

Once a divine ability is cultivated, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator can contend with a Divine Proficiency cultivator.

Therefore, the number of cultivators who can cultivate a divine ability at the Foundation Establishment stage is extremely rare, and they are all closely guarded secrets of major sects.

"The 'Golden Eyes' of the Great Dao Sect is a very promising divine ability, and it can be cultivated into different eye techniques using various heavenly materials and treasures," Chen Fan stroked his chin.

Different Golden Eyes divine abilities naturally have varying levels of power. Using the essence of fire, Chen Fan could cultivate the 'Liyue Golden Eyes.'

Among many divine abilities, the Liyue Golden Eyes is considered a high-level divine ability. In the future, it can absorb more heavenly fires, and when cultivated to its peak, it can burn through the void.

He remembered that a Great Dao Sect True Immortal once cultivated the supreme Liyue Golden Eyes. After his fall, his eyes turned into two suns, illuminating a star system like a star, never extinguishing. Such power was truly terrifying.

"I thought it would take at least half a year to cultivate the Golden Eyes, but with the essence of fire and the Yin Snake's dual eyes, I can give it a try."

Chen Fan made up his mind.

He first set up a small array at the entrance of Yinlong Pond, allowing only Axiu and Master Wu to enter and exit with jade talismans.

Then Chen Fan began to delve deep into Yinlong Pond, sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the hundred-meter-deep pond, and started to cultivate the divine ability.

The more powerful the fire divine ability, the more extreme the environment required for its cultivation. For example, deep within a volcano, or at the extreme point where Yin Sha Qi converges. Fire divine abilities are often rebellious and incompatible with Yin Sha Qi, and the greater the pressure, the stronger the explosive power.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.

During these two months, Chen Fan remained seated at the bottom of the pond, using a water-based Dao technique to directly draw oxygen from the deep pond. When hungry, he swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, and when thirsty, he drank a mouthful of pond water.

As he cultivated, his eyes became increasingly bright, and by the end, they seemed to be made of gold, shining like pearls.

"Master Chen has been cultivating at the bottom of the pond for two months, much longer than last time."

Axiu sat cross-legged by the pond, muttering to herself.

Master Wu watched from the side.

Since Master Chen entered the pond to cultivate, the little girl had not left the pondside, either practicing boxing or sitting there staring at the deep pond. Master Wu naturally knew Axiu's thoughts, but he could not interfere.

"What kind of person is Master Chen? How could he possibly look at someone like us?" Master Wu sighed inwardly.

In two months, Axiu's cultivation had nearly reached the peak of Inner Strength, and she had cultivated the first move, the Sky Embracing Hammer, and was now working on the second move, the Cloud Dropping Hand. Master Wu's aura had become increasingly elusive and unpredictable, not far from the level of the former Mr. Shi, and he had already reached the peak of the Dao Entry realm.

As time went on, Axiu and Master Wu became increasingly worried.

Although Master Chen was a god-like figure, who could endure sitting at the bottom of the pond without eating, drinking, or even breathing?

"Should we go down to the pond to check?"

Finally, Axiu could not hold back.

Master Wu's thoughts raced, and he finally sighed, "Alright, let me go. I cultivate the Yin Gui Sect's techniques, which are best at resisting Yin Sha Qi. Although you have achieved a small success in Inner Strength, you cannot withstand the cold at the bottom of the hundred-meter-deep pond."

Just as he was about to return to call for people to prepare oxygen tanks, Axiu suddenly called out, "Master Wu, look, what is that?"

Master Wu turned to look and saw that the pitch-black pond had suddenly lit up with two golden lights.

"Is this...?" Master Wu's heart trembled.

These two golden lights were very similar to the Yin Snake. When the Yin Snake emerged from the pond, it also had two golden eyes the size of lanterns.

They both stared at the deep pond without blinking. As the golden lights drew closer, the pond water seemed to boil, bubbling and steaming.

"What's happening?"

Master Wu and Axiu were both stunned.

Could there be a fire down there? What kind of fire could burn underwater, especially in the Yinlong Pond, where Yin Sha Qi is dense?

At that moment, the pond water suddenly parted, and a figure stepped out of the waves.

"Master Chen?"

Axiu called out in surprise.

Master Wu looked over and saw Chen Fan's eyes first.

"Ah!"

Master Wu cried out, stepping back several steps and covering his eyes.

Upon seeing Chen Fan's eyes, he found that they were two golden flames, burning fiercely in Chen Fan's eye sockets. Looking directly at the flames was like looking at the sun up close, and the intense light immediately injured his eyes.

"Master Chen? What is this?"

Axiu, not daring to look at Chen Fan, lowered her head and exclaimed.

Chen Fan did not answer but instead looked up at the sky. The sky above Yinlong Pond was already covered by the white mist array he had set up, but the flames in his golden eyes suddenly shot out, forming two golden pillars that burned in the void, burning through the white mist array and creating two large holes.

"Divine abilities are indeed divine abilities."

"My Liyue Golden Eyes are finally complete."

Chen Fan sighed and slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, they had returned to normal, but if you looked closely, you could still see two tiny flames in the depths of his pupils.

"Congratulations, Master Chen, on the completion of your divine ability!"

Master Wu, despite his red, teary eyes, clasped his hands and said.

Axiu also looked at Chen Fan with joy.

Chen Fan, however, crossed his arms and said, "Now that my divine ability is complete, staying here is no longer useful."

"Moreover, I have been away for too long and should return."

Axiu's smile froze on her face as she stammered, "Master Chen, are you returning to Chuzhou?"

"Can... can I go with you?"

Chen Fan stepped out of the pond, landing on the ground without stopping.

"If I return to Chuzhou, what would it mean for you to follow me?"

"I am your teacher, not your nanny."

"Follow Wu Shanhe in your cultivation. When your boxing skills are fully developed, come and see me."

Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared into the vast white mist, leaving Axiu standing there, at a loss.

Master Wu, with red eyes, walked over and patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Master Chen is a god-like figure. Being able to cultivate under him for a while is already a great fortune."

He paused and continued, "If you want to keep up with Master Chen, you must work hard in your cultivation. Otherwise, you will be left far behind."

"Okay."

Axiu's gaze was determined as she nodded firmly.
