631: Chapter 631 March 31st!

Myriad Manifestation Disguise, he could directly leave it to his Clone to comprehend.

As for Mental Energy cultivation, he could also leave that to his Clone to perform.

Even the latter two secrets, once Xiao Hei broke through to Grandmaster and unlocked them, he could throw them all to his Clone.

When the time came, he would only need to sit back and enjoy the results, inheriting the fruits of his Clone's labor.

Thinking of this, a sense of relief welled up in Qin Yan's heart.

He was glad that he had awakened the darkness attribute.

The darkness attribute directly helped him solve the biggest problems of Mental Energy cultivation—lack of Cultivation Techniques, lack of a suitable place, and lack of guidance.

With the nourishment of the Darkness Profundity, his Mental Energy cultivation would no longer face Bottlenecks; instead, it would be a smooth path.

Not only that, the darkness attribute also granted him the qualification to Cultivate the "Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon."

Each of these four secret techniques required darkness-attributed Mental Energy as a foundation.

Without the darkness attribute, even if he were given the "Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon," he wouldn't be able to Cultivate them.

Furthermore, darkness was different from the Demonic.

Although the Demon Race was hunted by the myriad races, Awakening the darkness attribute would not lead to being shunned by them.

On the contrary, Cultivators who awakened the darkness attribute were often sought after by major factions.

The reason was simple—the darkness spirit attribute represented formidable spirit strength.

In the perception of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, Mental Energy Cultivators who could awaken the darkness attribute were almost synonymous with being invincible among their peers.

Darkness-attributed Mental Energy was eerie, profound, and elusive, often producing unexpected effects in battle.

Whether in offense, defense, or support, the darkness attribute possessed unique advantages.

Qin Yan had heard that in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, there was a powerful faction called the Dark Temple.

This faction didn't have many people, totaling only a few hundred at most.

But every member within it was a Prodigy among Prodigies, all of them Mental Energy Cultivators who had awakened the darkness attribute.

Though few in number, each was incredibly powerful, capable of taking on thousands alone.

And the master of the Dark Temple was a terrifying existence whose Mental Energy had reached over nine hundred and sixty hertz.

Over nine hundred and sixty hertz—that was a number Qin Yan didn't even dare to imagine.

Such strength was comparable to the Peak of the True Emperor Realm. Even in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, it was a superpower that guarded a region, and no one dared to underestimate it.

Drawing back his thoughts, Qin Yan opened his panel and found that an extra column had appeared.

[Supreme Divine Ability: Incomplete Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon (Comprehension Progress: 7%)]

Supreme Divine Ability?

A trace of doubt rose in Qin Yan's heart.

What level was this?

On his panel, there was already a column for [Origin Divine Ability]—Blood Curse, Demonic Utterance Heavenly Edict, and Five-Colored Spiritual Light.

Origin Divine Abilities were the ones most compatible with himself; their power would grow along with his Realm, never becoming obsolete or outdated.

And now, there was another column: [Supreme Divine Ability].

"What's the difference between a Supreme Divine Ability and an Origin Divine Ability? Which one is more powerful?"

Qin Yan pondered to himself.

He had already experienced the power of Origin Divine Abilities firsthand.

The Five-Colored Spiritual Light integrated healing, defense, and support, possessing infinite mysteries.

The Blood Curse could curse from a distance, killing invisibly.

As for the Demonic Utterance Heavenly Edict, there was no need to mention it; it had always been sealed.

But as for the Supreme Divine Ability... Qin Yan didn't know what level it was.

The word "Supreme" sounded a bit more superior than "Origin."

"It seems I need to find some time to learn more about this."

What is the difference between an Origin Divine Ability and a Supreme Divine Ability?

Which is stronger? Which has more potential?

He currently knew nothing about these questions.

There should be information regarding this in the Scripture Pavilion of the Taixuan Holy Land.

After the Inner Court assessment ended, he would have to find time to look it up.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Qin Yan pulled back his thoughts, stood up, and left his courtyard.

Today was March 31st.

The last day of March.

The morning sunlight spilled over every corner of the Taixuan Holy Land, coating the ancient buildings, verdant trees, and winding paths in a layer of warm gold.

But for all the Outer Court Disciples, their mood today was far from being as relaxed as the weather.

Because today—the End-of-Month Assessment was today, and the results of the Inner Court assessment would also be released today.

This was the day that would decide their fates.

Whether they would enter the Inner Court or be eliminated, everything would be revealed today.

However, unlike before, today's End-of-Month Assessment didn't require climbing the Heavenly Staircase or dueling; they only needed to wait silently for the results of the Inner Court assessment.

No fighting or killing was necessary, only waiting.

But this kind of waiting was often more agonizing than combat.

As Qin Yan walked toward the square, he opened his token to check their team's contribution status.

[Qin Yan Contribution: 6,891 points]

[Yin Li Contribution: 5,303 points]

[Huang Jiuli Contribution: 5,294 points]

[Lu Qingshan Contribution: 2,301 points]

[Yun Qingge Contribution: 2,200 points]

[Cumulative Contribution: 21,989 points]

During this period, their team hadn't been idle either.

After the beast tide in Qingyun City, they had found time to complete some individual missions.

Although they were small missions, every little bit adds up, and the team's cumulative contribution had grown from 20,989 points to 21,989 points.

An increase of one thousand points.

Not a lot, but not a small amount either.

"With these numbers, a top ten spot should be secure," Qin Yan thought to himself.

As for individual rankings—

Qin Yan glanced at his own contribution: 6,891 points.

This number was definitely among the best out of the thirty thousand Disciples in the entire East Courtyard.

"It's enough."

Qin Yan put away his token and quickened his pace.

Soon, Qin Yan arrived at the square.

The square of the Taixuan Holy Land's East Courtyard was vast, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, the square was already crowded with people.

Holy Land Disciples gathered in groups of three to five, some talking in low voices, some waiting silently, some with solemn expressions, and some with beaming smiles.

Everyone's mood was different.

Regarding the upcoming announcement of the results, every one of them was very anxious.

"Will I be able to enter the Inner Court?" This was the question most Disciples were concerned about.

"Will we be able to get the rewards for the top one hundred teams?" This was the concern of the stronger teams.

"Will we be able to make it into the top ten teams?" This was the concern of the top-tier teams.

Different Disciples displayed different worries.

The weak were worried about being eliminated; those of medium strength were worried about their rankings not being ideal; the strong were worried about whether their team could enter the top ten.

Every level had its own set of pressures.

Qin Yan found a relatively quiet spot and stood there silently.

He didn't go to join the crowd or look for his teammates.

At a time like this, being alone was actually more comfortable.
