Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 364: Divine Skill: Divine Sense

Nuwa then realized that the colorful light hadn’t disappeared before; it was just too sparse and therefore hard to notice when it fell below.

"Little by little makes a lot," as she walked more steps, more and more colorful light slowly accumulated at her feet, growing and growing until the light that fell below piled up like a mound of earth. The mound then transformed into a screen and eventually into a covering that enveloped her figure within it.

Nuwa suddenly understood what this was; she was awakening divine skills again, and for the second time!

Nuwa felt somewhat shocked in her heart. Since Chen Nuo was so formidable, during those years before his birth, what kind of cultivation had he wandered the world with, or had he grown into such a powerful figure in just the few short years since he had appeared?

She didn’t know.

If it was the former, it meant that Chen Nuo was a very formidable and particularly calm person. If it were someone else, let alone people, even immortals or Buddha might not be able to be so powerful without showing it.

If it was the latter, Nuwa took a soft breath inward; Chen Nuo might then be the most formidable person to ever appear in this world, achieving such a state in just a few years.

If he were to live as long as her, then there was even less need to say anything, with talent, ability, and no arrogance—what kind of environment could have created someone like him?

Although she was pondering these things, Nuwa didn’t stop walking. On the contrary, knowing Chen Nuo’s power, she walked faster and faster.

She didn’t know what Chen Nuo really wanted to do, only that if he chose to be good, he would certainly become an even more formidable figure than Buddha Ancestor or the Jade Emperor.

If Chen Nuo chose evil, Nuwa involuntarily took a sharp breath; then no one in this world would be able to defeat him.

Just what kind of person was this?

Nuwa let out another sigh in her heart.

She thought for a long time but still couldn’t make sense of it. Well, if she couldn’t figure it out, then she wouldn’t think about it anymore. At least for now, besides spreading his craft, Chen Nuo hadn’t done anything else.

At this moment, the colorful light in front of her had accumulated so much that it was about to touch the hem of Nuwa’s robe. Although Nuwa didn’t know what this light was, she didn’t want it to dirty her robe, so she waved her hand, ready to disperse it with her mana.

But a spell that was usually as simple to use as eating and drinking refused to unleash any power at all at this moment.

Nuwa paused, then tried again to disperse it with her mana, but nothing changed.

Nuwa’s brows furrowed; why couldn’t she exert any mana at all?

After several attempts, which all proved useless, Nuwa had to extend her hand to disperse the light that was about to touch her robe’s hem.

The moment her delicate fingers touched the colorful light, she absorbed it.

"What on earth..."

She had just begun to wonder when the light suddenly began to flow, racing to burrow into her body.

The loss of mana made Nuwa feel a slight lack of security.

The light that entered her body from her fingertips didn’t make her feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, it was like a massage, flowing from her fingers throughout her whole body.

As more and more colorful light entered her body, Nuwa floated in this Chaos along with it. She had never felt this way before; it was both comforting and comfortable.

When all the light had entered her body, Nuwa was gently set down on the ground. She opened her eyes and saw that she was no longer in the Chaos but in the great hall of the Chaos Residence.

Something seemed different. Nuwa felt a slight discomfort in her ears but didn’t know why. She reached up to gently rub them, but still, there was no response.

Just now, it was so quiet in the Chaos that she found herself somewhat unable to adapt to the sudden bustle of the real world.

The sounds around her were especially clear: the rustling of leaves in the wind, the chirping of cicadas, the calls of birds, all crystal clear as if they were right next to her ear.

The sound wasn’t bad; she was most accustomed to the sound of talking. Although she remembered that there were only four people in the hall, including herself, it somehow seemed noisier.

She looked to her left and right but didn’t discover anything. Who could be speaking, chattering nonstop?

Nuwa moved her fingers slightly, and the noise by her ears lessened. Apart from the natural sounds as they should be, the incessant chatter was gone; the others were still deep in meditation.

Nuwa smiled. It seemed that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was not only effective for her alone; the Divine Skills of the few who came here to dine were likely awakening as well.

"Ding! Nuwa has awakened the Ancient Divine Power, Divine Sense. Would the host like to synchronize this ability?"

Chen Nuo was trying the freshly brewed green tea when the system’s voice suddenly sounded.

"Divine Sense? What kind of ability is that?"

"Please wait, searching," came the clicking of telegraph sounds from the system, which then reported, "Divine Sense, an Ancient Divine Power, unique to Nuwa, unquantifiable in grade. The possessor can listen to all sounds within a hundred miles and even eavesdrop on thoughts."

"Eavesdrop on thoughts?" Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment. "Then I..."

"Rest assured, host. You do not belong to this world, so this Divine Power is useless to you. However, if you synchronize this Divine Power, you will enjoy the same level of ability as Nuwa," answered the system.

"The same ability as Nuwa?" Chen Nuo asked. "Does it mean that what Nuwa can hear, I can also hear, and what she cannot, I can’t either?"

"That’s correct," responded the system. "Although Nuwa has exceptional abilities, there are still Gods of Ancient Times who are more formidable than her, such as Fuxi, Zhurong, Kuafu, and others. Nuwa can only listen to thoughts that fall within the scope of her powers, but the host can exchange Merit Points for the thoughts of these more potent ancient gods."

He had not yet encountered these ancient gods, and he wasn’t planning on exchanging just yet. Moreover, it wasn’t out of overconfidence, but he really hadn’t met anyone who didn’t like the dishes he made. He would consider exchanging when the time came, should he need it then.

"Oh, I see," said Chen Nuo, nodding. This he could understand; limited abilities meant limited actions one could perform, which wasn’t strange. However, "Can it be controlled and turned off?"

Being able to hear thoughts wasn’t a bad thing, but if he had to listen to them all the time, he feared he might end up annoyed to death.

"It can be turned off," replied the system. "Detection indicates that Nuwa’s awakening is complete, and she is on her way toward you."

No sooner had the system finished speaking than Nuwa appeared in front of Chen Nuo.

"You couldn’t have told me a minute earlier?" Chen Nuo complained. "You just finished speaking and then she appears, what’s the difference between that and not saying anything at all?"

The system replied, "Detection of Nuwa’s complete awakening was immediately reported. The system does not have the ability to predict."

"Alright, alright," Chen Nuo sighed internally.

"Your dish is quite magical,"

Though she awoke her Divine Skill because of Chen Nuo’s cooking, Nuwa did not immediately thank him upon awakening, as Tian Peng and the Three Demons had. She remained as aloof as before.

"I’m just someone who cooks; there’s nothing magical about it. As long as it tastes good, that’s all that matters," Chen Nuo replied, speaking sincerely from his heart.

"You have the ability to awaken Divine Skills. Why not publicize it and attract more attention instead of letting people find their own way here?" asked Nuwa. "If you advertised, you could surely earn many times more than you do now."
