Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Astounding Talent

“Boom!”

A powerful aura emanated from the secret chamber, and the entire Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Upper Qing Sect seemed to converge towards a specific direction at this moment.

Some sect disciples who were cultivating did not understand, but all the sect elders uniformly gazed at the place where the Sect Master was in seclusion, their eyes showing expressions of surprise and joy.

“The Sect Master is about to break through!”

A year ago, Lin Ling had stated his intention to go into seclusion to attack the perfect fourth tier, but for such a long time, there had been no movement, and everyone thought that Lin Ling was going to fail the breakthrough.

However, now, with the sudden convergence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it was obvious that he had already comprehended the mysteries of the perfect fourth tier and was impacting this realm.

“Half a year ago, there was news from the Divine Court that Gu Fang was fighting and training in the deep sea and finally broke through the perfect fourth tier, becoming the first perfect fourth-tier powerhouse in the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Now that the Sect Master is breaking through, he can become the second perfect fourth-tier powerhouse!”

Xiao Li looked solemn.

Gu Fang had only broken through to the high-grade fourth tier fifteen years ago, and it had taken fifteen years of honing to barely step into the perfect fourth tier.

In comparison.

Lin Ling had only advanced to the high-grade fourth tier a few years ago, and now he was able to directly impact the perfect fourth tier. Such a cultivation speed is astonishing beyond the ordinary.

Xiao Li couldn’t help but wonder if Lin Ling also had some special constitution, allowing him to cultivate at such a rapid pace.

But wonder is just wonder, and Xiao Li had no intention of delving deeper.

Everyone has their secrets, and he was just an elder of the Upper Qing Sect, not qualified to investigate Lin Ling.

…

In the secret chamber.

Lin Ling opened his eyes, and in an instant, it seemed as if light surged forth, like electricity out of a void room, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered around him suddenly dissipated.

A divine thought descended, revealing a miniature version of Lin Ling sitting cross-legged in the Dantian, with a faint stir between his brows, as if something were trying to be born.

But this kind of stir was extremely subtle, so subtle that it was difficult to detect any sign without careful sensing.

“Fourth-tier Nascent Soul, fifth-tier Divine Split; to break through to the fifth tier, one must open the Purple Mansion between the brows, with the Nascent Soul transforming to the Primordial Spirit.

Now that I have entered the perfect fourth tier, I am at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage; any further breakthrough will involve opening the Purple Mansion!”

Lin Ling pondered in his heart.

He had entered the Ancient Ruins and even obtained a fifth-tier cultivation technique from there, which detailed the method of cultivating the fifth-tier Primordial Spirit.

If Lin Ling were just an ordinary cultivator, he would have already converted to the Ancient Technique and awaited the opportunity to impact the fifth-tier Divine Split.

However—

Upon discovering that he possessed the Dao Divine Body, Lin Ling gave up this plan.

Though the fifth-tier cultivation technique is good, it must be compatible with one’s self.

The difference between cultivating a technique compatible with the Dao Divine Body and one that isn’t is as clear as night and day.

For example.

If a typical technique were used to break through the perfect fourth tier, Lin Ling’s internal Spiritual Power would probably measure at ten, but using a technique unique to the Dao Divine Body to break through the perfect fourth tier, his internal Spiritual Power would at least be twenty.

This is a fundamental difference, incomparable to ordinary techniques.

Therefore.

If Lin Ling wants to break through to the fifth tier, he must exchange for a compatible fifth-tier technique.

Only then.

When he breaks through to the fifth tier, his strength will become even more powerful, and his foundation will be much stronger, which will greatly assist in further advancement.

This was also why Lin Ling valued the Divine Kingdom competition so highly.

The contribution needed to exchange for a fifth-tier technique is astronomical, and only by obtaining a large amount of contribution can he exchange for a fifth-tier technique.

Subsequently.

Lin Ling calmed his mind and looked towards the Divine List section in the Divine Kingdom chat group; as his divine thought descended, a vast amount of information appeared before him.

The fourth tier of the Divine List.

Since no fifth-tier powerhouses had appeared for the moment, the Divine List only went up to the fourth tier.

When Lin Ling’s gaze fell on the fourth-tier Divine List, the first name that appeared was Gu Fang, and the second was his own.

The ranking within the same tier of the Divine List is determined solely by order, not by the height of one’s realm.

To put it simply.

If someone is the first to break through to the fourth tier, they remain at the top of the fourth tier for life, regardless of whether they stay in the lower fourth tier for their entire life.

Only upon their fall will their ranking be replaced by subsequent individuals.

In essence.

Being the first to break through and rank at the top of the Divine List is an unparalleled honor.

The Divine List encompasses everyone in the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and having one’s name at the top is enough to earn the reverence of billions of cultivators.

“Just wait and see, this time I will undoubtedly claim the first place in the fourth-tier Divine List and become the first to step into the fifth tier!”

Lin Ling whispered to himself, his eyes full of confidence, and then he gathered his mind to consolidate the realm he had just broken through to.

…

“A second perfect fourth tier has appeared, unsurprisingly possessing a special constitution; the talent is indeed extraordinary!”

Although the commotion caused by Lin Ling’s breakthrough wasn’t large, it couldn’t escape Gu Qingyang’s perception as he directed his gaze towards the Upper Qing Sect.

Possessing the Dao Divine Body, Lin Ling’s comprehension was unparalleled, and Gu Qingyang wasn’t too surprised by his breakthrough.

Then.

He turned to look at several other prodigies with special constitutions, all of whom had stepped into high-grade fourth tier, aiming for the perfect fourth tier.

As time went on, the advantages brought by special constitutions slowly began to manifest.

With Gu Fang and others as the first tier, they gradually widened the gap with others.

This was inevitable.

The strength of a special constitution is equivalent to a child of destiny, and it is exceptionally difficult for an ordinary person to rely on willpower and hard work to bridge such a gap.

“However… ordinary cultivators aren’t entirely without a chance to catch up!”

Gu Qingyang’s gaze fell on a blade of grass, which seemed to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and refine the Sun and Moon Essence as Spiritual Qi gathered, manifesting a faint image of a Cyan Lotus, whose sharp edge was piercingly intense.

If someone witnessed this scene, they would never think that the grass before them was merely a blade, but rather a sheathed peerless Divine Soldier.

“In just a few months, another level has been broken through, stepping into the mid-grade second tier; such talent is truly astonishing.

Moreover, their comprehension is exceptional; Cyan Lotus Sword Dao, after just a few months of practice, has nearly reached the beginner stage, making their strength considerably superior to other cultivators of the same tier.

Clearly not possessing any special constitution, yet with such talent and comprehension, if they don’t fall unexpectedly, they might one day contend with all major Saint and Divine Bodies!”

Gu Qingyang nodded silently.

He had been watching Aoba’s growth closely, seeing their cultivation progress day by day.

To this end.

Gu Qingyang had some expectations for how far Aoba would grow one day.

With this thought, he initiated a divine thought and directly added Aoba to the Divine Kingdom chat group.

Their intelligence was akin to that of ordinary humans, making their presence in the Divine Kingdom chat group entirely normal, along with adding the Evergreen Ancient Tree and others as a group into the chat.
