Chapter 1911: Chapter 1911: Where the Heart Leads, Even Metal and Stone Yield
"What are they doing?"
Not far from Wyatt Barnes, a young man glanced at the altar surroundings and couldn’t help but gaze at the two Bronze Flame Elders, curiously asking.
"They are comprehending our Black Tortoise Altar’s advanced Divine Ability, the Black Tortoise Shield!"
One of the Bronze Flame Elders raised an eyebrow and said calmly.
"Black Tortoise Shield!"
Instantly, a group of new disciples from the Black Tortoise Altar, including Wyatt Barnes, had their eyes lit up.
Among them, some came to the Fire Worship Sect for faith, and others sought a better future.
Speaking of nothing else, just the Fire Worship Sect’s ’Four Symbols Altar’.
As long as one becomes a disciple of any altar of the Four Symbols Altar, they have the opportunity to comprehend the advanced Divine Ability, passed down through generations.
In the Four Symbols Altar of the Fire Worship Sect, apart from the exceptionally talented Four Symbols Altar disciples who have the chance to enter the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect and become ’Holy Land disciples’,
Any Four Symbols Altar disciple who successfully comprehends and masters the advanced Divine Ability, even if slightly less gifted, can directly receive a pass issued by the Four Symbols Altar to become a Holy Land disciple!
Fire Worship Sect disciples are divided into ’outer disciples’ and ’Holy Land disciples’.
Outer disciples are the Four Symbols Altar disciples.
Holy Land disciples are those who regularly cultivate in the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect, the true elite disciples of the Fire Worship Sect.
Entering the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect and becoming a Holy Land disciple is the pursuit of every Four Symbols Altar disciple.
The Holy Land possesses many things they dream of... Only by entering the Holy Land can they have the opportunity to become true powerhouses in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!
"Dear Elders, I heard that our Black Tortoise Altar’s advanced Divine Ability is the best among the four advanced Divine Abilities in the Four Symbols Altar... Is this true?"
Soon, someone took a deep breath and excitedly asked the two Bronze Flame Elders.
"It is true."
One of the Bronze Flame Elders nodded, "The advanced Divine Ability of our Black Tortoise Altar, the ’Black Tortoise Shield’, is a defensive Divine Ability. In terms of rank, it is slightly higher than the advanced Divine Abilities of the other three altars... However, a higher rank also means it is more difficult to comprehend!"
Rumor has it that in our contemporary Fire Worship Sect... those who have successfully comprehended the advanced Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’ do not exceed ten.
Someone else asked.
"No more than ten people?"
"No way! So few?!"
"In our contemporary Fire Worship Sect, countless people have come from the Black Tortoise Altar... Yet those who have successfully comprehended the ’Black Tortoise Shield’ advanced Divine Ability do not exceed ten? This must be fake news!"
"I also think it’s fake news... This is too absurd, too exaggerated!"
"It must be fake news! This is outrageous!"
...
Even before the two Bronze Flame Elders could respond, the surrounding people were already talking, all feeling this was unreliable fake news.
Wyatt Barnes also felt this way.
"Advanced Divine Ability... Doesn’t seem that difficult to comprehend successfully, right?"
Wyatt thought to himself.
He remembered that, aside from the advanced Divine Ability ’Wings of the Golden Crow’ passed to him by Elder Fire through special means, whether it was the advanced Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ or the advanced Divine Ability ’Immortal Flying Beyond’, he easily comprehended and mastered them.
Wyatt’s thoughts were unknown to others.
Otherwise, not to mention anyone else, even the two Bronze Flame Elders of the Black Tortoise Altar nearby would wish they could slap him to death!
Someone actually thinks advanced Divine Abilities are easy to comprehend?
"That is true."
Just as the gaze of a group of new disciples from the Black Tortoise Altar, including Wyatt Barnes, fell on the two elders of the Black Tortoise Altar, one elder nodded solemnly, "In our contemporary Fire Worship Sect, those who have come from the Black Tortoise Altar and have successfully comprehended the advanced Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’ indeed do not exceed ten!"
"It’s actually true?!"
Immediately, Wyatt Barnes was shocked, and the others were also dumbfounded.
After a moment, everyone came to their senses, followed by a noisy commotion, "Good heavens! How difficult is it to successfully comprehend our Black Tortoise Altar’s advanced Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’? So many people have come from our Black Tortoise Altar... Yet those who have comprehended it do not exceed ten?"
"I initially thought entering the Black Tortoise Altar was a good thing, able to comprehend the best advanced Divine Ability in the Four Symbols Altar, ’Black Tortoise Shield’... Now it seems, wanting to successfully comprehend the Black Tortoise Shield is like a fool’s daydream!"
"Although comprehending Divine Abilities does not depend on talent or spiritual roots, those who have successfully comprehended the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’ are still one in a thousand... I have self-awareness, I might also succeed in comprehending the Black Tortoise Shield."
"Why wasn’t I chosen by the elders of Azure Dragon Altar, White Tiger Altar, and Vermilion Bird Altar? Though the divine abilities of the other three altars aren’t as great, they’re certainly not as difficult to comprehend!"
...
Amid the discussions, many people were complaining about why they weren’t chosen by the elders of the other three altars.
"Hmph!"
Hearing the complaints from a group of new disciples at the Black Tortoise Altar, two Copper Flame elders sneered collectively.
One of them said indifferently, "The Black Tortoise Shield, as the top defensive divine ability of our Fire Worship Sect, is difficult to comprehend successfully... But do you think the divine abilities of the other three altars are so easy to comprehend?"
"Exactly!"
The other Copper Flame elder picked up the conversation, sneering, "Whether it’s the auxiliary divine ability of Azure Dragon Altar, the offensive divine ability of White Tiger Altar, or the movement divine ability of the Black Tortoise Altar... In our Fire Worship Sect, although none of them are considered the top auxiliary, offensive, or movement divine abilities, each ranks within the top three for their respective type in our sect!"
"In our contemporary Fire Worship Sect, those who succeed in comprehending the divine abilities from Azure Dragon Altar, White Tiger Altar, and Vermilion Bird Altar, though not as exaggerated as fewer than ten people... absolutely don’t exceed thirty! High-level divine abilities aren’t as easy to comprehend successfully as you might imagine!"
The Copper Flame elder’s tone became more intense towards the end.
"High-level divine abilities... Are they really that hard to comprehend successfully?"
Wyatt Barnes was a bit puzzled.
Because he found that his understanding of the high-level divine abilities ’Minor Devouring Technique’ and ’Celestial Conduit’ went very smoothly, comprehending other high-level divine abilities shouldn’t be difficult.
The challenge lies in comprehending the high-level divine abilities to their fullest.
Only then can one fully unleash the power of a divine ability!
But, given the current situation, it seems that high-level divine abilities are hard to comprehend for others?
For a moment, Wyatt Barnes pondered.
He thought of Elder Fire!
Thinking of Elder Fire, Wyatt immediately asked him this question, "Elder Fire, why do they say high-level divine abilities are hard to comprehend successfully? Are they really that difficult? I don’t feel that way. The process of successfully comprehending the high-level divine abilities ’Minor Devouring Technique’ and ’Celestial Conduit’ was clearly very smooth."
"You truly don’t realize how lucky you are!"
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Elder Fire couldn’t help but chuckle, "Do you know that the supreme sword and heart technique ’Supreme Heart Sword’ your master taught you is a supreme skill for training both sword and heart... As the saying goes, ’Where the heart is, even mountains and rocks can be pierced.’ And the comprehension of divine abilities is closely related to a person’s ’heart’."
"Your proficiency in ’Supreme Heart Sword’ may not be very high yet, but your ’heart’ seems to have been thoroughly honed, naturally increasing your comprehension efficiency of divine abilities! If you can comprehend ’Supreme Heart Sword’ to the highest state, you would only need three days and nights to fully comprehend a high-level divine ability!"
Elder Fire’s tone was full of envy, "I’ve always said, your master, even across the multiverse, is an unparalleled genius... To inherit his ’Supreme Heart Sword’ is truly your fortune!"
"’Supreme Heart Sword’... does it have such an effect? That’s simply unbelievable!"
After listening to Elder Fire, Wyatt Barnes was dumbfounded, feeling as though he was discovering ’Supreme Heart Sword’ for the first time.
At this point, he finally understood why his comprehension of high-level divine abilities ’Minor Devouring Technique’ and ’Celestial Conduit’ was so smooth, all thanks to ’Supreme Heart Sword’.
"So... if I can comprehend the third state of ’Supreme Heart Sword’, my ’heart’ will be further honed, and my speed in understanding divine abilities will increase?"
Taking a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, Wyatt asked Elder Fire.
"That’s for certain."
Elder Fire gave a definite answer.
Instantly, Wyatt’s eyes lit up, and he felt exceedingly thrilled, "So, the high-level defensive divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’, which others find hard to comprehend, will be no problem for me?"
"However, I never imagined that the divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’ of the Black Tortoise Altar is the number one defensive divine ability of the Fire Worship Sect! The Fire Worship Sect is one of the top three powers in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, and the ’Black Tortoise Shield’ claimed as the number one defensive divine ability here, should be among the top-tier defensive abilities in the entire Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!"
Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes became even more excited.
Because he was about to acquire a top-tier defensive divine ability from the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!
"Black Tortoise Shield... Fire Worship Sect’s number one defensive divine ability?"
"No wonder it’s so hard to comprehend successfully!"
"The divine abilities of the other Four Symbols Altars, although not as strong as Black Tortoise Shield, are still quite formidable... their comprehension difficulty isn’t much less than that of Black Tortoise Shield!"
"It seems that regardless of the divine ability, successfully comprehending it depends on one’s perception."
"Perception, something beyond innate talent roots, is elusive... Whether any of us can successfully comprehend Black Tortoise Shield, honestly, is hard to say!"
...
After hearing the Copper Flame elders’ words, the group of new disciples at the Black Tortoise Altar stopped complaining.
"You must have seen the palaces around this altar... Each palace has its own functions. After arranging your accommodations, you can wander around and learn about them yourselves. Now, follow us to your future residences!"
Immediately, Wyatt Barnes and his group were led by the Copper Flame elders to their future accommodations.
