Chapter 128: Two Divine Abilities

Perhaps it was the benefits brought about by the Myriad Star Body. Or perhaps it was the miraculous nature of the Heaven-Dao Foundation Establishment method. Contrary to Ye Chen’s expectation that he might fail several times before succeeding, no such misfortune occurred. He succeeded on the very first attempt, smoothly advancing to Foundation Establishment…

All the Foundation Establishment Pills he had painstakingly prepared seemed almost pointless now—he had been engaging in a battle of wits with the air itself!

However, despite the Heaven-Dao Foundation Establishment method being so potent, Ye Chen couldn’t help but wonder—why hadn’t there been any divine phenomena accompanying his breakthrough? Where was the grandeur of the scene?

But the moment this thought crossed his mind, Ye Chen chuckled softly. For those in the Qi Refining stage, reaching Foundation Establishment was undoubtedly a momentous achievement. They could rightfully be called Ancestors.

In truth, it was indeed quite an impressive feat. But only within the confines of the Green Cloud Sect. On a grander scale, in the entire world of cultivation, it hardly measured up.

If someone were to break through to Foundation Establishment in the wider world, surely there would be some heavenly phenomenon to mark the event. Otherwise, the Heaven-Dao itself might crumble under the strain.

After a moment of idle musings, Ye Chen quieted his thoughts. He began to reflect upon the greatest surprise of this breakthrough. The Divine Abilities of his talent.

During the breakthrough, Ye Chen had felt it. A mysterious and profound force had fused into his eyes and heart. He hadn’t had the energy to investigate it at the time.

Now, however, he could finally take the time to examine what Divine Abilities he had awakened. And as soon as Ye Chen allowed his mind to drift, the two Divine Abilities naturally appeared in his consciousness.

Exquisite Heart: Increases physical regeneration, enhances comprehension, and doubles the power of spells.

Eye of Destruction: The eyes can unleash a divine beam of destruction, obliterating anything in its path!

Feeling the effects and utility of his newly awakened Divine Abilities, Ye Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

The Exquisite Heart was actually quite impressive. The enhancement to his physical regeneration complemented his Myriad Star Body perfectly, vastly improving his survivability. As for the increase in comprehension, that too proved to be invaluable. After all, not every spell cast would trigger a critical strike and manifest a phantom image.

Moreover, with higher comprehension, learning anything became significantly faster. Lastly, the doubling of his spell power was a marvelous addition. His combat strength was already formidable, and the spells he had learned were all top-tier. Now, with his perfect breakthrough and a significant surge in attributes, their power would only become more terrifying. With the boost from Exquisite Heart, his strength would increase even further.

Ye Chen felt that, even when facing a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could probably wipe them out with a single gesture.

As for the late-stage Foundation Establishment? Someone as monstrous as his Master would likely still be beyond his reach. But against an average late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator? Ye Chen was certain he would have no fear. Thus, Exquisite Heart was certainly worthwhile.

However, the Eye of Destruction felt a bit underwhelming. Ye Chen didn’t lack for offensive spells. Compared to attack-type Divine Abilities, Ye Chen found himself far more interested in auxiliary talents like Exquisite Heart.

An offensive Divine Ability could only add to his strength. But a complementary auxiliary Divine Ability could elevate his overall combat prowess across the board.

“Indeed, those Divine Abilities awakened after birth are never as impressive as innate ones. Look at how terrifying their vertical pupils are! I wonder if I can gift this thing away and get something even more powerful in return?”

Ye Chen wasn’t particularly satisfied with the Eye of Destruction that had appeared in his Divine Ability “blind box.” He even started to contemplate whether he could pass it off as a gift. But clearly, that wouldn’t work.

Not to mention anything else, even if he gave away his own eyes to a female cultivator, the gift would only be effective if the recipient could actually benefit from it to trigger a reward.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

But the problem was, which female cultivator would be twisted enough to want his eyes? So, relying on the system to make his Divine Abilities stronger seemed hopeless.

Having them was certainly better than not. Ye Chen comforted himself with that thought.

Ye Chen’s mighty roar echoed across the entire Green Cloud Sect.

“Ye Chen has broken through to Foundation Establishment?”

Yao Xi, who had just fully refined the spiritual fire and was attempting alchemy, heard the sound and, with a slight tremor of her hand, a burnt smell emanated from the furnace. Clearly, her alchemy attempt had failed. But Yao Xi didn’t care in the slightest. She immediately dashed toward Sword Peak.
