Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 480 - 453: Warning Divine Techniques

"Stay calm, don’t get carried away."

Wang Wu reminded himself because the gains this time were truly an epic leap, and he was afraid of losing himself in his success.

"The twenty-fifth Vermilion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle should be stable. So there’s no rush; I need to think of a proper strategy for the aftermath because, with my current changes, if I return and don’t spend the whole day hiding in the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, a mere glance from Xiong Wang Shou Miao would reveal if I have the Blood Curse Celestial Punishment or not."

"Not to mention there’s that Gray Eye coveting my Hidden Dragon Sinew; who knows if other old Criminal Prisoners have the same idea?"

Thinking of this, Wang Wu checked his Three-Defense Treasure Armor first, only to find its durability had dropped to 42%. The recent Qi Blood surge was definitely terrifying, akin to whipping with full force for several hours, so wear and tear was inevitable.

Fortunately, Qingxue had prepared a brand new Three-Defense Treasure Armor for him in advance.

Next, he quickly changed into the new Three-Defense Treasure Armor within the armor, then swiftly entered meditation, conducting a comprehensive, detailed probe of his Innate and Postnatal Three Foundation Establishment Arrays, naturally including stabilizing his realm, understanding and mastering new talents, and adjusting and governing the overall situation.

Just like checking for gaps and errors, inspecting spelling and punctuation mistakes, this process couldn’t be omitted or faked. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I suggest you quickly upgrade the Passive Concealment Talent to Level 27 to perfect the Forgetting Divine Techniques. With this divine technique, you can exempt from Elder Hui’s Divine Calculation. Don’t forget, you’re truly carrying a life-and-death charge."

The Four Clowns cautiously and maturely offered their suggestion.

Theoretically, this was indeed the most urgent issue, in case Old Man Gray decided on a whim, casting a divination and launching the divine calculations, directly pinpointing Wang Wu would be disastrous.

So he very much wanted this too.

But when he used the Level 19 Spirit Essence to gain insight, it was a bit of a headache.

Because the cost of upgrading was significant.

Currently Level 25, to reach Level 26 requires paying 3 million points of Level 4 Refined Qi Blood.

This level was still within an acceptable range.

But to upgrade to Level 27, there’s a sheer cliff-like increase, maybe because it has reached the limit, directly requiring 15 million points of Level 4 Qi Blood.

Equivalent to 1.2 billion points of conventional Qi Blood to refine and compress.

It’s as if even selling Wang Wu entirely couldn’t accumulate enough.

So, the idea is good, but execution is too difficult.

"Then, how about continuing to upgrade the Demon Pill?" The Four Clowns offered another lousy idea, mainly because their insight couldn’t reach higher, thinking it’s easy to keep upgrading the Demon Pill.

"No, a First Grade Demon Pill is already the current limit, to improve further would mean the Creation Demon Pill, which is even harder to upgrade."

"So, I want to change my approach."

After pondering for a while, Wang Wu focused on his Danger Perception, this Bloodline Talent was initially engraved on the Demon Pill, but later he erased it to engrave the Tyrant Body Divine Techniques.

So up until now, counting the Wolf Gaze Divine Techniques gifted by General Xuelang, his Danger Perception had always been 22+1, so for a long time, this talent was practically shelved, with little presence.

Why? Because Wang Wu was dealing with Taiyi True Immortals, how could a mere Level 23 Danger Perception predict that?

Even with my best efforts, I couldn’t do it.

So, what if I upgrade this Bloodline Talent Danger Perception to Level 25?

"Absolutely not, you don’t want to become a second Five Poison, do you forgetting you have the bloodline of the Cyan Dragon Race, your so-called Hidden Dragon Sinew, as soon as you form Foreknowledge Divine Techniques, it would be like turning into a firefly at night, afraid that the giant crocodiles lurking in the dark forest couldn’t find you?"

The Four Clowns vehemently opposed.

"No, you don’t understand; my Level 25 Danger Perception is not the same as Five Poison’s. Five Poison’s at best was incomplete, his power was too weak to support such a powerful Bloodline Talent, thus it was like a child carrying gold through a lively market."

"On the contrary, my current strength can sustain it."

Wang Wu explained calmly, also giving the Four Clowns a lesson, because under the micro-vision of Level 19 Spirit Essence, many things that were once blurry or overlooked became clear.

"Like you’ve always wondered, why Human Race Immortals and Demon Race Immortals are both called Taiyi True Immortals, and why 27 is universally considered the limit for divine techniques, there’s a rationale to this."

"Previously, we were like looking at flowers in the mist, or a glimpse of a leopard through a tube, a half-understanding at best, now I can tell you directly. From the perspective of Five Poison’s Level 25 Foreknowledge Divine Techniques, it’s an aberrant Bloodline Divine Techniques exceeding the limit. Normally, a Level 25 Bloodline Divine Technique corresponds to a First Tier Taiyi True Immortal."

"And levels 18 to 24 correspond to Tier One to Tier Nine Earth Immortals."

"That’s why Five Poison perished in such a way."

"So, this is also why, despite my attribute data showing I am significantly lagging, I am able to exceed levels by three to five tiers."

"Including now, in your data recognition, I am still a Tier Seven Earth Immortal, but in reality, since I have already cultivated a Ninth-Grade Creation Fire Spirit Pill, my Bloodline Evolution Level can catch up with Xiong Wang Shou."

"But this doesn’t mean I can defeat him; it means my potential future growth ceiling has caught up with his."

"So, by upgrading Danger Perception to Level 25, I won’t be as passive, and I can even choose the effect of the divine techniques myself."

"Then how do you explain your Level 19 Spirit Essence?" The Four Clowns asked. They had long been unable to track or control this Bloodline Talent, only able to describe it vaguely.

"Because this is an anomaly! It’s an anomaly created by the clash of Ancient Bear’s blood and Cyan Dragon’s blood. It can also be called Hidden Dragon Sinew. The reason it’s called ’Hidden’ is because it’s actually invisible and can’t be seen. It exists within the bloodline, but because it indeed possesses such effects, it’s called Hidden Dragon Sinew."

"So if I were captured by Gray Eye, he would most likely refine me into some sort of special Immortal Pill and then consume it to basically obtain my Spirit Essence Perception effect. Of course, this is merely my speculation."

"Moreover, my Spirit Essence currently has three modes. One is the normal mode, which is what you all understand."

"One is the micro mode, with little consumption, but it can basically maintain the maximum effect of Level 18 Spirit Essence Perception."

"The last one is the perception mode, which has huge consumption. Entering this perception state easily consumes five strands of Divine Thought as a base, but once I succeed in perceiving, I think I should be able to instantly kill half of Baiyu."

The Four Clowns fell silent, not asking why it was only half of Baiyu.

Because Baiyu is a standard Taiyi Second Tier True Immortal.

So there’s no questioning why.

At this moment, Wang Wu began upgrading his Danger Perception. This process was very simple. It only required 100,000 points of Level 4 Refined Qi Blood to successfully upgrade the Danger Perception Talent to Level 24.

Following that, just by consuming half a million points of Level 4 Refined Qi Blood, it was upgraded to Level 25.

The feeling at this moment was very subtle.

Speaking of which, Wang Wu had once temporarily enhanced his Danger Perception to Level 25, even 25.5, through various buffs.

Back then, his own feeling was very dangerous.

But from the current perspective, it was like a 13-year-old boy spotting a used condom in a park corner, causing his heart to race, feeling guilty, and as if he was about to open a mysterious and evil door...

Now, under Wang Wu’s Spiritual Essence Micro state, the Level 25 Danger Perception Talent was like a three-way intersection offering three directions to choose from.

One was to follow the original path, which was pure Danger Perception, closely aligned with the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear sequence, belonging to the orthodox assassin Ancient Bear path.

One was to follow the Cyan Dragon lineage, which was a mottled Foreknowledge Divine Techniques, the path once taken by Five Poison, belonging to the Shaman Ancient Bear of the alternative paths...

The last one was even more of an alternative path, and after much pondering, Wang Wu realized it was somewhat like bullet time. It was also similar to foreknowledge, allowing one to predict the opponent’s move just before they strike, so could this be the Prediction Ancient Bear?

Overall, all three paths seemed quite good.

However, Wang Wu was the first to eliminate prediction. This sequence seemed more suitable for those who tread the path of unconventional, boundless confrontations with instant predictions and infinite reversals.

He liked such heated duels, but he also knew that playing it safe was his theme. In the current Cultivation Realm, the waters run deep, and he must be cautious, staying hidden and avoiding conflicts unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, he chose the path of striking after others.

This also built a very solid foundation for error tolerance.

"Foreknowledge is no good either, a lesson learned from Five Poison and even Elder Hui."

"So, better to stick to the original route and just be an assassin Ancient Bear."

Wang Wu quickly made his choice, but this time it required 1 million points of Level 4 Refined Qi Blood.

Without hesitation, he took out the Spirit Liquid Small Cauldron given to him by Qingxue and drank it down in one gulp.

It’s not much, just 1 billion points of conventional Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi anyway.

Not only now, but even back then, it was almost nothing to him.

Qi Blood surged, and Spiritual Qi converted to Qi Blood, then refined into Level 4 Qi Blood, taking only one hour to refine 1 million points of Level 4 Qi Blood, just barely enough.

Then, although the Level 25 Danger Perception didn’t upgrade, it did initially awaken and activate a sharper, stronger, and higher-tier divine technique prototype.

After some contemplation, Wang Wu defined it as the Warning Divine Techniques.

Thus, this also distinguished it from foreknowledge and prediction.

Further refinement can label it as Level 1 Warning Divine Techniques, with Level 3 at the peak.

Similarly, the Forgetting Divine Techniques can be called Level 1 Forgetting Divine Techniques.

It doesn’t carry any special significance.

At this moment, Wang Wu simultaneously activated the Level 25 Passive Concealment and the Level 25 Danger Perception, as it was necessary. Forgetting and Warning both required such a prerequisite state for activation.

The two Bloodline Talent Divine Techniques don’t interfere with each other; instead, they complement each other.

Especially the Level 1 Forgetting and Level 1 Warning, the mutual augmentation between them is significant. Wang Wu roughly calculated that after activating Level 1 Warning, the exemption effect of Level 1 Forgetting can increase from the current 20% to 25%.

Conversely, Level 1 Forgetting can also elevate the effect of Level 1 Warning to 25%, truly a bilateral approach.

No, it’s more likely the system benefit brought by the legitimate bloodline.

Thinking about it, Level 1 Forgetting is actually still an alternative path. Otherwise, if the Passive Concealment was chosen, the augmentation might be even higher.
