Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

Immortal Spirit Sect Grand Hall.

"By my reckoning, she should be returning soon..."

Xian Fu paced back and forth restlessly in the grand hall, occasionally glancing outside.

As the Sect Leader, rare were the times when Xian Fu could not maintain her composure.

But this time was different, as it was related to her daughter's future, she couldn't afford to be careless.

Xian Banmeng was still a bit young, and she always needed to keep a check on such matters.

"Sect Leader, the Young Sect Leader will arrive in a quarter of an hour."

The elder who had been watching outside the boundary reported promptly upon sensing Xian Banmeng's presence.

"She's finally here!"

Xian Fu stopped walking and immediately called out, "Xian Lan, come see me!"

Xian Lan, the Chief Elder of Law Enforcement in the Immortal Spirit Sect, possessed the cultivation of a Great Saint.

As the Chief Elder of Law Enforcement, Xian Lan always wore a sullen face and was unapproachable, instilling fear in all who saw her.

To test the suitor Xian Banmeng brought back, Xian Fu decided to have Xian Lan lead the assessment.

Because Xian Lan would neither cheat nor lie for anyone.

"Sect Leader."

Xian Lan entered the grand hall, her expression as stern and grave as ever.

"In a moment, Meng'er will bring a young man back."

"You are to personally go and escort him on the assessment path of a Direct Disciple."

Xian Fu looked outside and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xian Lan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise.

The Immortal Spirit Sect, being an ancient hidden family, operated on a half-family and half-sect inheritance system.

But generally speaking, unless there was a lack of talented heirs within the family, the sect would not recruit outside disciples.

Even if they did, the difficulty of the test was notorious.

And this assessment had four levels: Outer Sect, Inner Sect, Core, and Direct Disciple.

Just the assessment for Outer Sect disciples alone could stump many so-called geniuses from the outside world.

Only top geniuses had even a slim chance to reach the Core Disciple level.

As for the Direct Disciple assessment,

though the Immortal Spirit Sect had been established for ages, those who had passed this assessment could be counted on one hand.

This assessment was more symbolic; there was no real expectation for anyone to pass it.

After all, entering the sect as a Direct Disciple was an honor not even granted to those within the family.

Only an exceptionally gifted individual could even hope to pass the first level.

"Sect Leader, isn't this assessment... a bit too harsh?"

Xian Lan did not speak, but the elder who had come to report hesitated to say:

"For the Young Sect Leader's prospective husband, it's natural to conduct a serious test, but the path of the Direct Disciple assessment..."

"If he can't even pass the first level, then we can't really see much, can we?"

The path of the Direct Disciple assessment had three stages, testing character, wisdom, and perseverance.

The terrifying difficulty of these stages could not be overcome even by some elders.

Now, using it to test a young man of unknown talent seemed rather harsh.

"It doesn't matter."

Xian Fu looked into the distance and said softly, "I don't expect him to pass all three levels."

"Perseverance can be tempered with time, and lack of wisdom can be made up with diligence."

"But character, that's far too important."

"A leopard can't change its spots. As long as he can pass the first level, I will acknowledge him."

With that, she suddenly looked up beyond the small world, her eyes brightening,

"Xian Lan, go welcome our guests!"

...

Outside the Immortal Spirit Sect, in the small world.

"Is this the famed Immortal Spirit Sect, known for the best spirit control under heaven..."

Su Changqing looked ahead, his face full of amazement.

Two sky-reaching jade pillars reached into the heavens, engraved with the profound Dao markings of the words 'Immortal Spirit', exuding majestic presence.

And beyond this magnificent jade pillar was a glowing whirlpool entrance a hundred zhang in height.

"Once you see the Divine Acupoint Dao Map, you'll understand why the Immortal Spirit Sect dares to claim supremacy in spirit control," Xian Banmeng chuckled lightly.

"Is there a big difference between Divine Spirit Technique and Divine Body Technique?" Su Changqing asked curiously.

Now, having just birthed spiritual power within his body, without a proper technique, he could only perform basic cycles along his meridians.

"There is indeed a difference."

Xian Banmeng patiently explained, "The most important aspect of Divine Spirit Techniques is linking the divine acupoints."

"The human body has 365 acupoints, and these acupoints can form countless arrays depending on the technique used."

As she spoke, she gently waved her hand, and an overwhelming amount of spiritual power intertwined externally, forming a mystical celestial armor.

"The characteristic of the technique I comprehended from the Divine Acupoint Dao Map involves weaving together 360 divine acupoints to form this celestial armor."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing furrowed his brows slightly and asked in puzzlement, "Since the human body has 365 acupoints, why do you only use 360?"

"That's the difference in techniques." Xian Banmeng smiled, "The stronger the technique, the more acupoints it utilizes, and the greater its power."

"Divine Spirit Techniques have many characteristics; some can produce spiritual flames, some can condense ice, others can manipulate the earth... and so on."

"But for the same technique characteristic, flames condensed from two hundred acupoints can easily destroy those condensed from a hundred acupoints."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing suddenly understood.

Once a divine acupoint is opened, it is like a mini dantian, capable of containing a large amount of spiritual power.

And so, naturally, the more acupoints one can control, the greater the explosive power.

In the Divine Spirit realm, the spirit seed determines the quality of spiritual power, while the acupoints determine the quantity and burst of power.

"Looking at it this way, a technique capable of utilizing 360 acupoints is already very powerful."

After some thought, Su Changqing looked at the celestial armor formed by Xian Banmeng and praised it.

Xian Banmeng smiled at his words but did not elaborate further.

Very powerful?

No, it's exceedingly formidable, surpassing all Divine Spirit techniques of the Immortal Spirit Sect!

In the Divine Spirit realm, any technique linking three hundred acupoints is already considered top-tier.

At this level, each additional acupoint represents a significant gap.

And Xian Banmeng was only five acupoints away from the perfect technique!

All of this was thanks to the Divine Acupoint Dao Map left by the Great Emperor.

Any cultivator who comprehends this map would realize a Divine Spirit technique most suited for themselves.

Xian Banmeng's enchanting divine body, with a technique that links 360 acupoints, is the most suitable for her physique.

"Rest assured, with your perception, you'll surely comprehend a technique utilizing over three hundred acupoints."

Xian Banmeng spoke with great confidence.

"I hope so."

Hearing this, Su Changqing's eyes also showed a hint of expectation.

In truth, more than the acupoints, he was curious about what kind of effect a technique suitable for him would have.

Divine Body techniques excel in 'strength', but what about Divine Spirit?

With curiosity and anticipation towards the mystical Dao Map, Su Changqing, along with Xian Banmeng, stepped into that whirlpool entrance.

As the light flashed, the scenery changed in an instant.

Before their eyes lay a world full of treasures, with Spirit Stones and Divine Soldiers scattered about.

"Is the Immortal Spirit Sect this wealthy?"

Su Changqing's eyes widened as he took in the excessively luxurious scene before him.

But as he turned to look beside him, he paused in confusion,

"Where did Xian Banmeng go?"
