32: Do you even know what it means to have extraordinary comprehension?

The flying boat broke through the clouds, hovering ten thousand meters in the air.

Xu Jinhuan wasn't sitting cross-legged to Cultivate; instead, he reclined on a grandmaster's chair on the deck, eyes closed as he enjoyed the bright sunlight above the clouds.

Generally speaking, sunlight at this altitude possessed strong corrosive energy, similar to ultraviolet radiation from his previous life, making it very uncomfortable for Cultivators.

This was one of the major reasons why low-Realm Cultivators wouldn't fly in the clouds for long periods.

However, the supreme flying boat beneath his feet was a personal gift from the Taiyi Old Ancestor. Its grade was transcendent, and its surrounding Formations operated ceaselessly, isolating all harmful energy and leaving only a warm, gentle glow.

He only needed to enjoy the sunlight.

While Xu Jinhuan was relaxing, Fang Qingyao and Liu Changxi didn't share his leisure; both were seizing every moment to Cultivate.

It couldn't be helped; the person they followed was simply too much of a freak.

Not seeing him for a day, and he had already broken through two minor Realms; he simply wasn't human anymore!

As followers, they felt immense pressure!

Seeing the two beauties beside him so diligent, Xu Jinhuan felt a stir in his heart and spoke up:

"Senior Sister Changxi, Senior Sister Qingyao, could you let me take a look at the Cultivation Techniques you practice? If that's inconvenient, your best divine abilities will do."

"I'll see if I can help you optimize them."

It was time to let them witness the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability that came with the Eternal Chaos Body!

Do you understand what an all-around warrior is!

Of course, the main reason was that the two women were too weak; Xu Jinhuan felt it was a bit embarrassing.

As the companions of the dignified number zero sequence, being unable to even jump across a major Realm was somewhat underwhelming.

As soon as he said this, strange expressions appeared on the two women's faces, with skepticism and confusion mingling in their eyes.

Clearly, neither of them quite believed Xu Jinhuan's words.

The Cultivation Techniques and divine abilities they practiced were the results of countless generations of refinement by their Holy Land or families, already approaching perfection. How could they be optimized just like that?

Did he think thousands of years of accumulated wisdom was a joke?

But out of respect and trust, Fang Qingyao still shared the Cultivation Technique she practiced.

She practiced one of the Taiyi Holy Land's foundational techniques, the Taiyi Qi Refining Art.

This was also the technique selected by the Eye of Destiny as the most suitable for her currently.

The technique Liu Changxi practiced was a secret of the Liu Family and inconvenient to reveal, so she chose the next best thing and shared her most prized Divine Ability, the White Jade Great Hand Seal.

Xu Jinhuan listened intently, memorizing all the core principles of the two techniques, then closed his eyes and fell into a silent contemplation.

Seeing this, the two women assumed their lord had just been joking on a whim and, now realizing he'd misspoken, they withdrew their gazes and continued their focused cultivation.

But only a moment later, the corners of Xu Jinhuan's mouth curled up slightly.

With a casual wave, two streaks of spiritual light burst from his fingertips, landing on two blank jade scrolls. His writing flowed like dragons and snakes, instantly inscribing two scriptures in a single breath, perfectly natural and without the slightest hesitation.

The two pages of scripture floated in front of the two women.

"Senior Sister Qingyao, this is the improved Taiyi Qi Refining Art."

"Senior Sister Changxi, this is the enhanced version of your White Jade Great Hand Seal."

"Take a look; feel free to ask if there's anything you don't understand."

?

Looking at the papers before them, the two women's delicate bodies trembled, their faces blank with shock.

The scriptures before them were clearly the techniques they were most familiar with, so why did they seem so strange now?

"According to these circulation routes, my cultivation speed can increase by at least thirty percent, and it can even nourish the Divine Soul, perfectly making up for my weakness in that area!"

"According to what the Young Master said, my White Jade Great Hand Seal has optimized its spiritual energy circulation and power-delivery techniques. Not only has its power doubled, but it also carries a Divine Soul shock effect!"

Xu Jinhuan had actually improved and optimized their techniques!

He hadn't lied!

Instantly, the way the two women looked at Xu Jinhuan changed.

It had been less than half an incense stick's time since he saw our techniques; at most, he had only read through the scriptures once.

And he's already reached such a commanding height and peak of perfection?!

With this Comprehension Ability, is he really still human?!

Seeing the two women standing there dazed and deeply shocked, Xu Jinhuan nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, this was exactly the feeling he wanted.

So satisfying!

Do you understand what Heaven-Defying comprehension means?!

"What are you staring for? Hurry up and Cultivate!"

"This technique optimization isn't for nothing; if you don't take your cultivation seriously, you won't get another chance in the future!"

Hearing this, the two women hurriedly began to contemplate and practice, promptly asking Xu Jinhuan whenever they encountered something they didn't understand.

In a short time, their strength surged.

At the very least, they barely reached a level where Xu Jinhuan didn't find it embarrassing.

...

Tianya Mountain was located at the border between the Giant Deer Dao Province and the Heavenly Demon Dao Province.

The situation in the Heavenly Demon Dao Province was very different from the Giant Deer Dao Province; it didn't have an absolute overlord like the Taiyi Holy Land.

Instead, it was in a state where many powers rose together and competed for dominance. The strength of many races was not to be underestimated, enough to crush other Schools in the Giant Deer Dao Province besides the Taiyi Holy Land.

Of course, the Taiyi Holy Land remained unshakable; even if the entire Heavenly Demon Dao Province joined together, they wouldn't be able to cause even a ripple.

Otherwise, the Taiyi Holy Land wouldn't have been able to become one of the top powers in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

However, the situation this time seemed different.

Because Tianya Mountain was so remote, the experts from the neighboring Heavenly Demon Dao Province arrived even faster than those from the Taiyi Holy Land.

The emergence of this Yao Race expert's great tomb caused a huge commotion and had been personally confirmed by a Half-Saint expert that only Cultivators below the God Realm could enter.

Therefore, a large number of Life and Death Realm prodigies from the Heavenly Demon Dao Province were drawn here.

"Hiss—wings on his back, blotting out the sun, that's an expert from the Winged Human Clan!"

"And that one with bull horns on his head is from the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan. This clan's Physical Body is extremely terrifying, comparable to a Battle Body!"

"Those palm-sized ants shouldn't be underestimated either; they are the Horned Heaven War Ants, one of the top races in the Heavenly Demon Dao Province. Their pair of iron pincers is comparable to a Divine Artifact!"

"I didn't expect this great tomb to attract so many Yao Race prodigies."

"The owner of the great tomb is suspected to be an ancient Yao Saint. The opportunities inside are naturally more suited for the Yao Race, and they will never allow the Human Race to have a share!"

At the foot of Tianya Mountain, the local human Cultivators were buzzing with discussion. Looking at the Yao experts, every one of them showed a worried expression, their eyes full of apprehension.

"Those who are not of our race must have different hearts."

Although the Yao Race experts and prodigies across from them were from different races, they all originated from the Heavenly Demon Dao Province, and sticking together when away from home was a fine tradition of that province.

"When will the prodigies from the Holy Land arrive? With just us, we can't suppress the other side at all!"

"If all these Yao are allowed inside, the Human Race's situation in the great tomb will be dangerous!"

Sensing the retreat and apprehension of the human Cultivators, the arrogance of the Yao prodigies grew even more blatant.

The Winged Human Clan Prodigy, Ling Fengyi, flapped his sun-blotting wings. As the gale swept through, many human Cultivators were blown off-balance, their physical bodies suffering damage.

He scanned the crowd from above, his tone contemptuous:

"Mere human ants, you think you're worthy of coveting the opportunities of the Yao Saint's great tomb? If you know what's good for you, get out of Tianya Mountain immediately, or don't blame this seat for taking action to clear out the trash!"

The Young Lord of the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan, Man Lieshan, went as far as to lift his foot and kick a thousand-foot boulder toward the gathering of human Cultivators.

The mountain-like boulder crashed down like a meteorite, shattering with a boom. Shards of stone flew everywhere, frightening the crowd into retreating repeatedly.

Seeing this, Man Lieshan laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, a bunch of trash! Humans are just weak; you can't even take one kick from this Young Lord, yet you dare to come and join the fun?"

"Listen up, human trash! Your Yao grandfathers have decreed,"

"Any human who dares to step foot into the Yao Saint's great tomb shall be killed without mercy!"

"Kill!"

The Yao prodigies shouted one after another, provoking wantonly. A few with violent temperaments had even begun to kill human Cultivators to clear out potential competitors.

"This is too much!"
