After spending some time and Divine Ability Value, Shen Changqing successfully enhanced the newly acquired first-grade Divine Skill, Inch and Miles, to the tenth level of Perfection. With the Divine Skill at this stage, he felt his understanding of Spatial Power had become particularly profound.
If the tenth level of Heaven and Earth Slash had elevated Shen Changqing's understanding of the Blade Path to a transcendent, saint-like level, then the tenth level of Inch and Miles propelled his mastery of Spatial Power into an unfathomably profound realm. This insight was not merely about tearing space; instead, it was more profound, having touched upon a certain essence.
Opening his eyes, he saw the space in front of him remained unchanged. However, when Shen Changqing reached out, the space before him rippled faintly.
He spread his palm as if touching the surface of water. The space undulated with small ripples. Then, with a forceful grasp, the space before him shattered instantly.
As the shattered space mended itself, a fragment of it remained in his palm.
Immediately, Shen Changqing recalled the fleeting glimpse he had caught when he seized the spatial fragment. It was vastly different from the darkness he had previously seen when tearing space. A newfound comprehension arose in his heart.
If my previous methods were merely a superficial borrowing of Spatial Power, then now, I can begin to truly control it.
Borrowing and controlling were completely different. Borrowing meant the power was not truly his own, but controlling was entirely different. To control Spatial Power meant it was entirely at his command.
Instantly, Shen Changqing thought of the Ancient Ruins he had entered before. The darkness he had seen when grasping a fragment of space gave him the same feeling as the darkness he encountered inside those Ancient Ruins. However, the darkness he had experienced when traversing torn space had a completely different aura. This alone was enough to confirm that even darkness existed on different levels.
If space could be likened to stacked layers of thin film, then tearing space might only peel back the first layer, while grasping a spatial fragment meant peeling back the second.
He had no references for these ideas; all of this was Shen Changqing's own speculation. Nevertheless, he trusted his judgment was sound.
To peel back the second layer of film, one needs not only a certain mastery over space but also corresponding strength. If the standards of the Ancient Realm are used, one would need to be at least at the God Realm. This probably explains why the ruins of the Exiled Immortal Valley were in that specific place, and why the other Ancient Ruins Yi Ning mentioned are entirely different!
Ancient Ruins indeed varied greatly. After all, the powerful individuals who left these ruins were not all of an equal caliber. The Ancient Ruins at the entrance of the Exiled Immortal Valley were evidently left by a more formidable power. Their ability to peel back the second layer of the spatial film and their possession of a Spirit Vein alone was telling. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
This breakthrough in his Divine Skill brought Shen Changqing considerable gains. He immediately took a step forward, and his figure vanished without causing any spatial fluctuations. Almost simultaneously, Shen Changqing appeared inside the Martial Hall.
On the fifth level, many members of the Martial Hall were gathered, engrossed in the hanging portraits, completely unaware of his arrival. Shen Changqing's gaze fell upon a Divine Ability Scroll.
Unlike the last time, as he looked at the Divine Ability Scroll now, much of the obscuring fog had dissipated, and a sense of enlightenment surged into his mind. It was clear and distinct, as if he could perceive its very essence.
After a long moment, Shen Changqing retracted his gaze. Looking at his panel, he saw that the Cloud-Transforming Finger had advanced directly from 'Uninitiated' to the second level.
It seems that improving my strength and perfecting other Divine Skills greatly benefits my comprehension of new ones.
He felt a sense of relief.
The Cloud-Transforming Finger was not considered a particularly powerful Divine Skill. He hadn't comprehended much of it before for three reasons: firstly, his cultivation realm was insufficient; secondly, his understanding of other Divine Skills was limited; and thirdly, he hadn't dedicated time to study it exclusively. But now it was different. Regarding the first two factors, Shen Changqing was now vastly different from before. Therefore, comprehending the Cloud-Transforming Finger became much simpler.
If I'm not mistaken, the creator of this Cloud-Transforming Finger probably hadn't reached Perfection in it either. If they could leave behind a Divine Ability Imprint, then I believe I can too. The question is, what kind of material can preserve such an imprint without it dissipating?
Shen Changqing looked at the Divine Ability Scroll, his attention focused not on the Divine Skill itself, but on the material of the scroll. He possessed numerous Divine Skills. If he could leave imprints of them, it would be greatly beneficial for future generations.
