Chapter 1736: Chapter 1736: Divine Ability Relics
"It is said that the existence of the ’Sacred Martial Secret Realm’ relies heavily on formations... and those formations require incessant power for support. The power that supports them comes from the quasi-third-grade holy stone mine."
Ebba King continued, "As far as I know, the foundational formations of the Sacred Martial Secret Realm accumulate a vast amount of heaven and earth aura over time, and at a certain moment, they erupt... That is when the ’Sacred Martial Secret Realm’ opens."
"Therefore, there is a saying about how often the Sacred Martial Secret Realm opens."
Ebba King added.
Wyatt Barnes suddenly realized.
"Moreover, within this Sacred Martial Secret Realm, there are things desired even by those who have surpassed the Great Saint Realm."
As she spoke, Ebba King’s breathing became somewhat rapid.
"Things that even those who have surpassed the Great Saint Realm want?"
Wyatt was naturally shocked to hear this.
"Yes."
Ebba King nodded.
"What is it?"
Wyatt was extremely curious, unable to comprehend what could be inside a realm that only Saint Realm geniuses under forty could enter, which would attract even those beyond the Great Saint Realm.
"Divine Ability!"
Looking at Wyatt, Ebba King steadily uttered the two words.
Divine Ability!
Hearing these words, Wyatt was stunned. In the past, he might not have known what ’Divine Ability’ was, but after recently forming the rudiment of the ’Golden Crow’s Wings,’ he had come to understand the meaning of ’Divine Ability.’
Divine Ability—methods only grasped by those above the Human Saint Realm, surpassing martial arts.
Of course, although most Human Saint Realm experts grasp Divine Abilities, over ninety percent of them are the type that are utterly useless in practical combat.
Just like the Divine Ability ’Avatar’ that almost every Human Saint Realm Taoist Cultivator can grasp, aside from serving as a ’protective charm’ for the younger generation, it has no other use.
"It’s normal you haven’t heard of Divine Abilities, as they are methods only mastered by those above the Human Saint Realm."
Noticing Wyatt’s stupor, Ebba King assumed it was his first time hearing about ’Divine Abilities’ and patiently explained, "The Divine Abilities grasped by ordinary Human Saint Realm experts are generally very ordinary... In the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, only the Divine Abilities mastered by Earth Saint Realm experts and above are practically significant in combat, just barely qualifying as useful Divine Abilities."
"Any Human Saint Realm Taoist Cultivator, as long as they are willing, can easily grasp a Divine Ability... that Divine Ability is named ’Avatar.’
Ebba King patiently explained to Wyatt, providing examples within her discourse, as if unfolding a world of ’Divine Abilities’ thoroughly before his eyes.
"Of course, in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, a small number of Human Saint Realm experts have also mastered practical Divine Abilities... and those Divine Abilities are either comprehended from relics left by some predecessors or directly handed down by people. However, even if one encounters the relics, or if someone teaches it, not everyone can grasp it. Grasping a Divine Ability requires talent and insight!"
Ebba King continued.
"So you’re saying there are relics containing Divine Abilities inside the Sacred Martial Secret Realm?"
Wyatt was not a fool; it was easy to glean some insights from Ebba King’s words.
"Correct."
Ebba King nodded, "The relics left by those powerful ones are the most precious treasures within the Sacred Martial Secret Realm... However, although we can see those relics when we enter the Sacred Martial Secret Realm, we can only memorize them in our minds. With our level of cultivation, attempting to comprehend them is utterly impossible."
"Furthermore, those relics cannot be copied... even if we remember them, we cannot share them outside. Only when one of us breaks through to the ’Human Saint Realm’ within their lifetime and grasps that Divine Ability can it potentially be passed down."
Ebba King continued, "And no matter which quasi-third-rate power it is, what makes them value the Sacred Martial Secret Realm so highly is indeed the Divine Ability relics inside... As long as someone who enters can emerge as a Human Saint Realm expert and master a certain Divine Ability inside, there is hope to share that Divine Ability."
"No wonder the Xuan Kong Mansion, despite having many under-forty Saint Realm geniuses, still aggressively recruits disciples... they have such intentions."
Wyatt suddenly realized, his thoughts becoming crystal clear.
Divine Ability Relics!
It is something that any quasi-third-rate power would be tempted by, and because only under-forty Saint Realm geniuses can enter the Sacred Martial Secret Realm to seek these Divine Ability relics, each quasi-third-rate power seizes the opportunity when the Sacred Martial Secret Realm opens to extensively recruit these under-forty geniuses to enter.
Of course, any quasi-third-rate power hoping to obtain the Divine Abilities contained within those Sacred Martial Secret Realm relics faces extreme difficulty.
If a genius from the Saint Realm who has entered the Sacred Martial Secret Realm becomes a ’Human Saint Realm’ expert, it is already considered outstanding, and expecting them to master the Divine Ability seen in the relics years ago is undoubtedly demanding the impossible.
Because of this, among the nearly Third-Rate Powers today, there are very few that have successfully inherited the divine abilities contained in the Saint Martial Secret Realm’s relics.
"Aside from the divine ability relics, everything else seems less important... To me, it has no attraction at all."
Ebba King looked at Wyatt Barnes and said.
"Let’s get to the point."
Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and said.
Ebba King had come to him about the Saint Martial Secret Realm, so it was certain she had other matters, which was not hard for him to guess.
"I want to cooperate with you."
Seeing Wyatt Barnes go straight to the topic, Ebba King looked at Wyatt Barnes with anticipation and said.
"Cooperate? How do we cooperate?"
Wyatt Barnes asked.
To be honest, he knew nothing about the situation in the Saint Martial Secret Realm, nor did he know what was inside.
And obviously, Ebba King had some understanding of the Saint Martial Secret Realm.
So, after asking this question, he looked at Ebba King with a puzzled expression, wanting to know what Ebba King meant by ’cooperation’.
"Wherever there are people, there is conflict, even inside the Saint Martial Secret Realm."
Ebba King seemed to see that Wyatt Barnes was unaware of the inside of the Saint Martial Secret Realm, so she introduced the situation to him, "For instance, certain divine ability relics in the Saint Martial Secret Realm can only be comprehended by one person. Therefore, when multiple people see the relic at the same time, a conflict arises, and only the last person remaining can comprehend the relic."
"Of course, saying ’comprehend’ might be giving us too much credit... Without a cultivation level above the Human Saint Realm, comprehending the divine abilities on the relics is impossible. What we can do is memorize all the words and features on the divine ability relic."
"Additionally, although we memorize everything on a divine ability relic, we cannot reproduce it. Even if we try to forcibly trace it, we capture only its form, not its essence. It’s impossible to comprehend the divine ability through a reproduced relic."
Ebba King explained.
Wyatt Barnes could understand this point that Ebba King made.
If not, why would the various nearly Third-Rate Powers recruit talents under forty from the Saint Realm so zealously? They hope that among the talents entering the Saint Martial Secret Realm, some will reach the Human Saint Realm and comprehend the divine abilities contained within the relics there.
Once comprehended, it means the divine ability is mastered and can be inherited.
Of course, not everyone can master a divine ability through inheritance, but at least there’s hope, and it’s a significant hope.
"In the Saint Martial Secret Realm, divine ability relics too are categorized in ranks... The lowest level relics contain the most superfluous divine abilities, like the ’Avatar’ level, which are of no practical use in combat. Better divine abilities can be used in combat, and when combined with martial arts, can achieve miraculous effects."
"A powerful divine ability can grant the comprehension achiever great power... Mastering such a divine ability is akin to mastering an extremely strong and terrifying martial art!"
At this point, Ebba King’s gaze turned extraordinarily intense.
"And in the Saint Martial Secret Realm, the more advanced the divine ability relic, the rarer it is... To have a chance to comprehend them, one must overcome numerous trials, and failing any trial results in being expelled from the Saint Martial Secret Realm."
At this point, Ebba King looked at Wyatt Barnes, "So, I want to cooperate with you... Together, the two of us can surely go further! It’s not impossible for us to seize the opportunity to comprehend the highest level divine ability relics."
As her voice fell, Ebba King’s eyes became extremely fervent.
"You’ve got quite the wishful thinking!"
After hearing Ebba King’s words, Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile, "However, I’m not interested in cooperating with you."
"You!!"
Ebba King didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to refuse so directly, and her expression changed immediately, "How could you be like this? I kindly asked to cooperate with you, and you refused without even thinking? Do you really believe there’s no benefit in cooperating with me?"
"In cooperating with you, I truly don’t see any benefit."
Surveying Ebba King from head to toe, Wyatt Barnes said bluntly.
Not to mention that Ebba King was only in the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm as a Martial Artist, even if she were in the mid-stage of the Middle Saint Realm, he would have no interest in cooperating with her.
To him, taking Ebba King along was no different from carrying a burden.
For an average man, being asked to cooperate by someone like Ebba King would mean instant agreement, as requests from a beauty are often hard to refuse.
However, for Wyatt Barnes, who had two fiancées and a confidante, Ebba King didn’t faze him one bit, and he never even entertained any romantic notions.
