Chapter 118 Heavenly Rank Divine Power

"You want all three?"

Su Ningxue was taken aback and quickly shook her head, bluntly saying that Ye Fan was biting off more than he could chew.

Normally, mastering a single Earth-rank Divine Ability to a Minor Achievement level would take at least a decade or even several decades of dedicated study.

Yet Ye Fan asked for three in one go. In Su Ningxue's eyes, this was undoubtedly an attempt to become a Revered Master overnight.

But Ye Fan wore a mysterious smile, insisting she just teach him and that he would figure out the rest himself.

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Su Ningxue had no choice but to select these three Cultivation Techniques from the Sect's repository.

As the Joyous Union Sect's foundational, treasured Divine Abilities, these three techniques were usually locked away in the deepest part of the repository. Even the Sect Head needed to meet multiple restrictions to borrow them.

But this time, with Ye Fan involved, the entire Sect gave the green light all the way, allowing even Su Ningxue to benefit from the privilege.

"Take good care of these three Divine Abilities. Come ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

The moment the three Divine Abilities were in his hands, a series of System prompts sounded.

"Dao Companion Su Ningxue has gifted the Host the Medium Grade Earth-rank Divine Ability 'Imprisoning Heaven Finger'. After tenfold value amplification, the Host obtains the Medium Grade Heaven-Ranked Divine Ability 'Qiankun Heaven Imprisoning Hand'."

"Dao Companion Su Ningxue has gifted the Host the Medium Grade Earth Rank movement technique 'Thunder Shadow Step'. After tenfold value amplification, the Host obtains the Medium Grade Heaven-Ranked movement technique 'Nine Heavens Thunder Movement'."

"Dao Companion Su Ningxue has gifted the Host the High Grade Earth-rank Divine Ability 'Azure Dragon Art'. After tenfold value amplification, the Host obtains the High Grade Heaven-Ranked Divine Ability 'Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art'."

With three Heaven-Ranked Divine Ability Cultivation Techniques in his possession, Ye Fan couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

These were Heaven-Ranked Divine Abilities! Forget the Joyous Union Sect not having any; even across the Southwest, one would be hard-pressed to find a few. They were incredibly precious even on the Central Continent.

Yet Ye Fan had obtained three in one breath. It was already quite an effort for him to remain calm.

Once a Divine Ability reaches the Heaven Rank, its power is sufficient to scorch mountains and boil seas.

Take the Qiankun Heaven Imprisoning Hand as an example. If Ye Fan had known this move when fighting Murong Jie, a single strike would have been enough to defeat him.

Nine Heavens Thunder Movement was an even rarer movement-type Divine Ability. Not only would it allow Ye Fan, at the Foundation Establishment Realm, to fly through the air without relying on a Flying Sword, granting him extreme movement speed, but it could also condense Thunder Shadow Clones.

At the initial learning stage, this move could create convincing illusions. Upon reaching its Peak, it could materialize Clones with strength equal to the main body, greatly enhancing one's combat power.

As a High Grade Heaven-Ranked Divine Ability, the power of the Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art far surpassed Ye Fan's imagination.

"Transform the body into a Dragon, roam the Universe."

These simple eight words actually made Ye Fan's breath catch and his heart feel as if it might stop.

The Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art allows a Cultivator to transform their body into a Dragon. It is a rare offensive and defensive integrated Divine Ability. When Cultivated to its Peak, it is not inferior to a true Dragon appearing in the world.

If this thing were to spread, it would undoubtedly stir up a bloody storm.

Ye Fan struggled greatly to barely calm himself down. He secretly used the System's power to refine the three Jade Slips, instantly mastering them to the Great Perfection Realm. In the future, he only needed some practice to fully integrate them.

Ye Fan initially wanted to give the amplified Divine Abilities to Su Ningxue, but after a second thought, he dismissed the idea.

He might barely find some excuses to explain away Earth Rank Divine Abilities, but if Heaven-Ranked ones appeared in the world, even the Eight Great Sects would covet them, inevitably stirring up trouble.

"You've been grinning foolishly over there. What happy thought crossed your mind?" Su Ningxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing. Just a sudden inspiration. My cultivation might be about to Breakthrough again." Ye Fan said, barely holding back his laughter.

"You're going to have another Epiphany?"

Su Ningxue's face was a picture of speechlessness. She had never heard of anyone being able to sense an Epiphany in advance.

But then again, considering Ye Fan's various miraculous aspects, perhaps he really could do it.

Ye Fan was eager to try the power of the three Divine Abilities. After saying a few more words, he wanted to leave, but Su Ningxue wouldn't have it.

"Leaving already?"

"Hmm?"

Seeing Su Ningxue's full face of bashful annoyance, Ye Fan could only suppress his smile and turn back, asking her if there was anything else.

"You... it's nothing... get lost... just don't come to my room anymore." Su Ningxue said, flustered and annoyed.

"Then I'm really leaving?"

"Go ahead."

"I'm really going?"

"You... stop right there!"

A large hand formed of spiritual power grabbed Ye Fan back. Looking at Su Ningxue's gritted-teeth expression, she seemed like she wanted to devour him alive.

"After worrying about you for so many days, you think you can just pat your behind and leave? It's not that simple."

...

By the time Ye Fan left the room, it was already the next day. Under the pretext of his Revered Master teaching him Divine Abilities, even Murong Wan wouldn't think much of it.

Ye Fan stretched his body and headed straight for the uninhabited area in the back mountains, wanting to test the power of the three Divine Abilities.

Once outside the Joyous Union Sect's boundaries, Ye Fan actually leaped off his Flying Sword. If outsiders saw this, their jaws would surely drop.

Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators rely entirely on Magical Artifacts or Magic Treasures for flight. Only upon reaching the Core Formation Realm can they break free from this constraint.

But after activating Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, Ye Fan could transform into lightning and dart rapidly through the air. From afar, it looked like a streak of purple lightning cutting across the sky, an anomaly akin to a bolt from the blue.

In the short time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Ye Fan had traversed dozens of miles of mountain paths and arrived at the uninhabited area of the Wangyou Mountain Range.

This was a hidden mountain hollow Ye Fan had accidentally discovered. Its location was extremely remote and hard to find. Even if a Core Formation Realm Cultivator flew overhead, it would be difficult to spot.

"Heaven-Ranked Divine Abilities truly live up to their name. With Nine Heavens Thunder Movement in combat, even a Core Formation Realm Cultivator wouldn't be able to touch my shadow."

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Ye Fan tried to use Nine Heavens Thunder Movement to condense a Clone, but the result was beyond his expectations.

"It actually failed."

The spiritual power consumed by Heaven-Ranked Divine Abilities far exceeded Ye Fan's imagination. Just transforming into lightning for rapid movement was manageable.

All Ye Fan could do now was conjure a few phantom images during high-speed movement to confuse the opponent's vision and Divine Sense.

But wanting to condense an actual Clone was still far beyond reach. He would need to at least Breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm.

"No matter how good 95-octane gasoline is, it can't power an airplane."

Ye Fan chuckled self-deprecatingly and then tried the Qiankun Heaven Imprisoning Hand and the Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art. The results were largely similar.

With his current cultivation level, he could only barely scratch the surface, unable to unleash their full power.

Even so, they far surpassed ordinary Earth Rank Divine Abilities. If a Core Formation Realm Cultivator took a hit, even if they didn't die, they would be severely wounded.

If a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator was struck, there probably wouldn't be much flesh left.

Looking at the mountain Peak he had flattened with a single palm strike, Ye Fan couldn't help but suck in a cold breath of air, struggling once more to calm himself down.

But just as he was about to try the Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art, the communication device hidden on his person rang.

"This is... a message from You Tan."

"Got time? Want to meet up?"

The familiar voice made Ye Fan feel a bit dazed. Although he didn't know what You Tan wanted, out of trust for her, Ye Fan decided to keep the appointment.

"Why not bring Ningxue and just capture her and bring her back?" Ye Fan couldn't help but think.
