Yellow Court Daoist

Invisibility Technique.

Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall.

Transformation Technique.

Cloud Summit Step.

"The Seven Beasts Small Divine Number uses the seven sacred animals in place of one's fate, measures the earth against the heavens, deduces events from circumstances, and secretly applies divine intent to silently observe all that approaches. It is a marvelous technique for foreseeing fortune and calamity, and steering clear of perilous threats."

Indeed, it's better to flee than to fight, but better still to hide than to flee.

And to hide, to assess the enemy's movements in advance and evade pursuit, the "Seven Beasts Small Divine Number" is essential.

Next is the Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall.

"Foreseeing fortune and calamity may allow one to be a step or two ahead and have additional time to avoid dangers. But the 'Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall' severs the root of peril from the start."

By combining these two Divine Skills.

And by finding a place to hide, one should be utterly secure.

Therefore, these two Divine Skills should be my primary focus.

However, I must also prepare for all eventualities.

"If an unexpected crisis arises, or I have no choice but to confront it head on, the Invisibility Technique can conceal my form, and the Cloud Summit Step can ignore arrays, ensuring a traceless escape. Used together, even if faced directly by an adversary, I could still have the chance to slip away."

"As for the Transformation Technique."

"It's the supreme method for changing identities, an excellent way to hide in plain sight."

In reality,

Lu Qingfeng, with his true identity, joined the Heavenly Star Sect. He plans to enter the Spirit Domain later and be apprenticed under Dutian Daoist Qin Feng from the One-Line Sky Passage. Meanwhile, the 'Dutian Daoist' persona is used for traveling abroad. Should anyone see through Dutian Daoist's true face and realize both personas are the same person, all would be lost, and it might even provoke the wrath of Ancestor Master Qin Feng.

Therefore,

I need to delve deeply into this Divine Skill.

"Let's begin with these five Great Divine Skills, and add another, the 'Five-Colored Divine Light', which should suffice to handle most situations."

Lu Qingfeng made his decision.

He began to earnestly comprehend the Divine Skills.

The first was the Seven Beasts Small Divine Number.

This Great Divine Power concerns the Heavenly Mechanism and destiny, becoming increasingly esoteric and challenging with deeper cultivation. I had acquired this method in the Red Smoke Realm and often pondered over it, making frequent use of it. But thus far, my cultivation only reached the Fourth Level, the 'Refining Essence' Realm, where I had just begun to grasp its essence. There remains a significant gap before reaching the Fifth Level, 'Domain Control'.

"At the Fourth Level, I can foresee the scheming of both Primordial Spirits and those at the True Immortal Level in advance. Ordinary Primordial Spirit Practitioners, unless they possess a Supreme Treasure or secret technique to Conceal Heaven's Secrets, I can predict their actions with high accuracy. Even facing a Mahayana True Immortal, if I concentrate on my calculations and trace the chain of cause and effect, I can divine their general situation."

"But Earth Immortals—"

Earth Immortals, possessing longevity acknowledged by heaven and earth as powerful beings with divine positions, such figures could reasonably be analyzed by True Immortal Luo Gu in the game. Yet, in reality, being at the Primordial Spirit Realm, I would not dare to calculate their fate. Backlash is a minor concern; if an Earth Immortal were to sense it and track me down, the ordeal would be truly dreadful.

"If I could cultivate the 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number' to the Fifth Realm, perhaps I would be capable of calculating an Earth Immortal's fate."

The fifth level of this Great Divine Power could even match the might of the Nine Layers Realm.

It's no ordinary feat.

Lu Qingfeng began his dedicated cultivation.

Owning the control over the Immortal Alliance and the entire Five Directions Realm, I lacked no cultivation resources and could indulgently employ the 'Enlightenment' Great Method.

One year could be worth two hundred years.

Years went by.

And the Seven Beasts Small Divine Number continuously grew stronger.

Within the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Every five hundred years a minor tribulation occurs, and every three thousand years, a massive Wind and Fire Tribulation; escape from such successive tribulations is impossible. Even if one's cultivation and Dao ability stalled in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, these tribulations could not be avoided.

Yet it's my cultivation and Dao ability that advance with Divine Speed.

Heaven and earth respond, bringing forth tribulations ahead of schedule.

In the game, Lu Qingfeng's cultivation was careful and methodical, seeking stability and gathering experience for reality. Therefore, I cultivated step by step. Every five hundred years, I transcend a minor tribulation, and every three thousand, a major one.

Possessing powerful Divine Skills and methods, I could easily overcome them, even without the use of an Immortal Artifact.

In the eyes of ordinary True Immortals, the catastrophic Wind and Fire Tribulation posed no threat to me at all.

A millennium later,

Utilizing the method of 'Enlightenment,' I spent the equivalent of twenty thousand years comprehending the 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number,' and this Great Divine Power finally advanced to the Earth Fifth Layer. From that point on, I fully mastered its essence, and its power and mystery grew immensely.

Thereafter,

Progress became arduous.

Lu Qingfeng took his time and shifted most of his efforts to understanding the 'Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall.'

Previously, Lu Qingfeng cultivated this Great Divine Power up to thirty-eight layers, reaching the Fifth Realm. Further advancement required not only cultivation and Dao ability but also long periods of arduous effort.

The life span of Immortals is endless, and the cultivation of Divine Skills and Great Divine Powers measure time in ten thousand, a million years, or even longer. Although Lu Qingfeng had the 'Enlightenment' Great Method, my time in cultivation was still short, and my Dao ability paled compared to a true Immortal.

It is unrealistic to hope for rapid advancement in the short term.

Yet, even incrementally accumulating layer by layer, and progressing bit by bit when it comes to Great Divine Skills, was a vast difference.

One year.

Ten years.

A hundred years.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years.

Lu Qingfeng had cultivated the Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall to the Ninety-nine Layers. Even with his cultivation level, when his Divine Soul was enveloped by the Ninety-nine Layers of the glazed glass wall, he felt a trace of heaviness that he couldn't endure for long. In reality, he was still at the Primordial Spirit stage, where his attempt could only sustain forty-seven layers.

Given that he was likely to remain in the True Immortal Realm for much time in reality,

the Ninety-nine Layers of the glass wall were sufficient for the time being, and so Lu Qingfeng set it aside. It was a pity, though, that after a millennium of cultivation, he was still unable to advance this Great Divine Power from the Fifth Realm to the Sixth Level.

But in terms of might alone, compared to a thousand years ago, it had more than doubled.

Seven Beasts Small Divine Number.

Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall.

After these two Great Divine Powers,

Lu Qingfeng began to comprehend the Invisibility Technique, Transformation Technique, and Cloud Summit Step.

Of these three Divine Skills, the first two were still at the Third Realm. The latter had reached the Fourth Realm.

Now, focusing on comprehension,

he made rapid progress.

A hundred years, then another hundred years.

A thousand years, then another thousand years.

He easily overcame minor tribulations one after another, and underwent multiple Wind and Fire Tribulations time and again.

His advancement in the three Great Divine Powers was unstoppable—

Third Level.

Fourth Level.

Fifth Level.

Ordinary True Immortals, if they practiced Super-level Techniques, would at most have a Life Span of 129,600 years before ascending to Earth Immortal. The time allocated for comprehending Divine Skills might not even be sufficient. If they focused on a single Super-level Technique, perhaps they could reach the Sixth Level 'Understanding Intent', or the Seventh Level 'Domain Control'.

For those with exceptional talent,

it might be possible to reach the Eighth Layer 'Life Spirit', or the Ninth Layer 'Achieving Dao', although they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns among mortals.

Even if one cultivated a Super-level Technique to the Eighth or Ninth Layer, when compared to the power of Divine Skills, it would be at most comparable to the Third or Fourth Level.

There was a vast difference between them.

And that was just in terms of might; in terms of mysteriousness, the Super-level Techniques were no match for Divine Skills at all. Naturally, the difficulty of cultivating Divine Skills was also higher.

Like True Immortal Luo Gu,

who spent his entire life comprehending the Fallen Divine Light, and even neglected his own cultivation for it. But in the end, he only reached the Sixth Realm.

That was among the best of the True Immortals.

For ordinary True Immortals, even after comprehending for ten thousand years, they might only reach the Third or Fourth Level.

Great Divine Powers were even harder.

In such a comparison, the terror of Lu Qingfeng was evident.

Most of the Divine Skills he practiced were Great Divine Powers, and he had reached the Third Realm for all of them. Among them, such as the Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall, Seven Beasts Small Divine Number, Invisibility Technique, Transformation Technique, Cloud Summit Step, and other focuses of his cultivation, he had managed to bring them all to the Fifth Realm, which was equivalent to the achievement of an upper-mid-level True Immortal throughout their lifetime.

Even,

his most favored and frequently used Five-Colored Divine Light, Lu Qingfeng had cultivated it to the Sixth Level, where he could easily brush down even Immortal Artifacts, extremely terrifying.

Lu Qingfeng's comprehensiveness was average.

To achieve such accomplishments, besides the Enlightenment Great Method, it was also because most of these Great Divine Powers were derived and strengthened from Technique levels. He followed his progress step by step, which made comprehension come naturally to him.

Otherwise,

If a Great Divine Power was suddenly thrown at him cold, Lu Qingfeng's comprehension speed would slow down significantly.

"Five Layers of Great Divine Powers."

"With might comparable to the Eight or even Ninth Layer Divine Skills, it is highly useful in the realm of mortals. At the True Immortal stage, it can also crush peers of the same level."

Like with Cloud Summit Step.

Once the Fifth Layer Cloud Summit Step was put into action, with no True Immortal in the Mahayana Realm capable of catching up. Even Earth Immortals who were not adept at Escape Magic would be left behind by Lu Qingfeng.

If he reached the Sixth Level—

"Perhaps among Earth Immortals, he could rank somewhere in the middle."

Lu Qingfeng's mind stirred.

And with the Fifth Layer Invisibility Technique, Transformation Technique, in front of Earth Immortals, unless there was a targeted Divine Skill or secret technique probing, they would be hard to detect. But they might not stand a chance in front of a Heavenly Immortal Dao Jun.

"Again!"

Lu Qingfeng hardened his resolve.

He focused on the Invisibility Technique and the Transformation Technique.

Time passed.

In a blink of an eye,

it had been a full twenty thousand years since the Blood Sea had peeled away from the earth and the heavens.
