Chapter 630 - 263: Perils Ahead—Celestial Pass of Ten Thousand Beasts

"Didn’t they say Innate Divinity?"

Chen Ping actually didn’t quite understand what the level of Enlightenment truly represented.

When he spent seven days, and an additional 640 Fortune Points, to raise his Enlightenment to 20 points, he felt his Divine Will soar, his mind exceptionally clear. Whatever he looked at, he could easily extrapolate and deeply understand.

Thus, he thought of delving further into the Sword Control Technique and his own Divine Soul Attack Skills [Soul-Breaking Cone], pondering over them for three days and nights until he finally stopped in despair.

"Creating a Cultivation Technique is truly beyond my current stage. Even if I create one, it would only be a shallow technique, far inferior to the Profound Technique I’ve learned."

Chen Ping had to finally admit that he had overestimated his own Talent. This [Innate Divinity] wasn’t truly becoming a god or a saint; it was merely a title.

Compared to mortals, one might indeed be called divine or saintly, but in the Path of Cultivation, it means nothing.

Chen Ping recalled descriptions from the storybooks he read in his previous life.

Back then, a certain Great Saint, no matter how underestimated, could be called Innate Divinity, perhaps even more.

When it was born, breaking out of the stone, while far more formidable than an ordinary monkey, even able to kill some small demons and creatures, it wasn’t said to have created any powerful Longevity Technique, nor could it even fly...

Comparing his current Innate Divinity Talent with that Great Saint at birth, Chen Ping realized he was far inferior.

Trying to create powerful Immortal Techniques is nothing but wishful thinking.

Even that top-talented monkey had to go overseas to seek immortals and cultivate throughout its life, yet never created any significant Immortal Skills.

It’s likely not because it couldn’t create them.

But what it did create was too shallow and meaningless.,

Compared to ordinary cultivators.

At most, he could learn things quickly, had a flexible mind, with high potential—just that.

"So, I absolutely don’t need to aim too high or far. Instead, I should push what I’ve learned to a higher Realm; that’s the proper course."

Physical Cultivation through the Stinging Dragon Scripture, daily absorbing Spiritual Qi for growth, is far inferior to absorbing Qi Fortune at a rate of one percent, so there’s no sense wasting time, meditating to practice Dragon Essence Magical Power—it especially wastes time.

As for defensive and life-saving skills.

With the current major enemy, there’s no need to cover weaknesses. Boosting one’s strengths should be the priority.

"What are my strengths?"

Chen Ping carefully evaluated himself.

Compared to Venerables in the same Divine Martial Realm, first, his strength was much greater, not just ten times, but at least seven or eight times more.

With a shake of his arms, the force of millions of pounds could move mountains and fill rivers easily.

In a real hand-to-hand fight, he wouldn’t fall short of any top expert in this world.

However, this strength seemed to originate from deep within his bloodline, linked to an enigmatic "True Dragon Blood," and possibly related to his Innate Talent’s enhancement.

He hasn’t yet found a way to fully activate this strength as a skill and elevate it using Tribulation Points.

It can only grow naturally through Realm advancement.

This was beyond his control.

Apart from the immense strength and robust physique as innate advantages, there’s also living two lives and undergoing training in the Heaven-Reaching Tower world with his Observation Technique, with an unparalleled strong soul.

Now his Soul Realm had reached Tier Eight "Arc Light Realm," and he could even spontaneously condense Soul Light to harm enemies.

This was his trump card.

But it seemed this attack technique, called {Soul-Breaking Cone} by himself, wasn’t considered worth inscribing as a powerful skill by the Spring and Autumn Silkworm.

In the Spring and Autumn Silkworm’s view, the alleged soul piercing of the Soul-Breaking Cone was merely using one’s own power to harm others, akin to a larger child using their body to bump into a smaller child.

It lacked technical sophistication entirely.

So, it wasn’t worth recording the skill name.

This was somewhat embarrassing.

Since no strong soul attack technique had been learned, it should be set aside for now. At least, in this world, he belonged to a very large child on the soul level, using his own power to harm others is still feasible.

For now, it was adequate.

Now, having eliminated other options, what he had an advantage in, that could be elevated using Tribulation Points, left no choice.

Swordsmanship.

Only Swordsmanship.

Chen Ping always felt that his speed in learning sword techniques was particularly fast, especially adept in realizing the True Intent within.

Even the "Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword," which relied purely on sword sense and sword nature for Enlightenment, was learned with ease.

Moreover, he achieved the "Sword Heart Clarity" Realm very early on.

Whatever Sword Technique reached his hands, he would casually practice it to Sword Intent Perfection.

This was not merely because of the enhancement from Tribulation.

To strengthen, one must first master.

Like the Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword.

Chen Ping now realized only Ji Mingyue learned it...

In the Qingwei Sword Sect, so many people, nobody else could learn it, not even Ran Qiuye after decades, saw her become skilled in this extremely powerful and peculiar Sword Technique like his daughter.

In this respect, his physique perhaps wasn’t as naturally suited to Sword Techniques as Little Mingyue’s, lacking sword bone or similar talent, but his affinity for the sword and his insight into swordsmanship were undeniably high.

Even in the cultivation of the Extraordinary Swordsmanship "Sword Control Technique," he may be stronger than Ji Mingyue.

Currently, Ji Mingyue was merely stuck at the Sword Control Technique level, only executing direct attacks and Gathering Strike.
