396: Supernatural power?

From the Golden-Robed Man's memories, Chen De learned something very interesting.

That is, this guy was not originally one person, but a composite of five people.

Back then, the five of them had an extremely good relationship, becoming sworn brothers and sisters together.

Supporting each other and sharing everything along the way, they reached an extremely high position in just over 800,000 years.

What no one knew was how these five cultivated so quickly, reaching the peak of Heavenly Imperial Realm in such a short time.

Everyone at the time believed they were exceptionally talented and gifted.

But today, Chen De received a more specific answer.

It was a martial art, or rather, a divine ability.

Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan!

It possessed the ability to transform matter into world-source.

The capabilities of world-source were too numerous, because it could transform matter, being the origin of the world.

Therefore, it could help people comprehend and enhance laws, as well as stabilize and strengthen domains.

Not only that, but after refining and absorbing it, it also had the use of enhancing innate talent and physique, as well as advancing cultivation.

This divine ability greatly accelerated their cultivation progress.

Through it, they all broke through to the peak of Heavenly Imperial Realm in just 800,000 years.

The five of them had a very resounding title in the Four Profound Heavens back then—the Five Profound Extreme Sovereigns!

This title was indeed famous at the time, and both the human and demon realms would give them some face.

Later, the five understood the existence of the Earth Immortal Realm and realized they were still very weak.

Thus, after much effort, they finally found a world, which is the world currently dominated by the Golden-Robed Man.

The five had never separated along the way, and this time was no exception.

So after obtaining the method to advance to a dominator, they separated the authority of this world and forged five authority artifacts.

However, before this, no one had ever tried to use the dominator advancement method to allow five people to simultaneously become the dominator of one world.

They had no idea what would happen next.

After the five imprinted their consciousness on their respective authority artifacts, they indeed became dominators.

Since the five authority artifacts were one, the five people should also be one.

So they merged, but at this time, their soul consciousness also merged, a uniform fusion.

Thus, the Golden-Robed Man was born.

But because of this chaotic attribute, he could not maintain a merged state for long periods.

However, the fusion of the physical body, meaning the fusion at the material level, was reversible, while the fusion of the soul, meaning the fusion at the spiritual level, was irreversible.

The physical body separated into the original five physical bodies, without any change.

The soul, however, separated into five identical soul portions, with each soul's quantity allocated according to its original soul power.

But all these allocated souls were already uniformly mixed.

Because the so-called soul is a collection of bioelectricity, and bioelectricity originates from the physical body.

Therefore, although the five souls were completely identical, influenced by their respective physical bodies, the thoughts and consciousness of the five souls would relatively lean towards the original appearance of the physical body they inhabited.

This leaning was very slight, only a tiny bit.

But it subtly created a distinction among the five people with identical souls but different bodies.

At the same time, because the soul changed after fusion, it caused a mismatch between the soul and the physical body restored after separation.

This resulted in the five people's original strength at the peak of Heavenly Imperial Realm only being able to exert at the mid-stage of Heavenly Imperial Realm.

Also, due to the incompleteness of their respective authority artifacts, none of them could possess world power when separated.

That's why, during the battle, the five were so easily knocked out by Chen De.

"Divine ability, huh..."

Among the information he searched, Chen De was most interested in divine abilities.

He thoroughly searched the Golden-Robed Man's memories and obtained the cultivation method for the divine ability.

The name of this martial art was Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan, but it was not a divine ability.

According to the memories, the Golden-Robed Man's divine ability was comprehended from this martial art.

He also said that, after years of research, divine abilities had no specific textual description and no specific cultivation method.

If you comprehended it, you comprehended it; if you didn't, you didn't. If you knew it, you knew it; if you didn't, you didn't.

At the same time, divine abilities also had no proficiency level divisions like beginner, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment...

When you first learned a divine ability, its realm was already perfect.

Among the five back then, only one person comprehended the divine ability.

Afterward, he unreservedly passed on his comprehension process and feelings to the other four, but they just couldn't learn it.

Because of this, Chen De did not directly learn this divine ability.

He also had to start by practicing the martial art Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan and comprehend from it.

But with all of the Golden-Robed Man's memories and insights, the power of Evil God Essence was equivalent to allowing Chen De to personally experience the process of comprehending the divine ability.

As for whether he could ultimately comprehend the divine ability, the result was inevitable.

According to Chen De's current estimated progress, he should be able to complete the comprehension in half a year.

Later, the five also investigated the matter of divine abilities and found that very little was known.

Let alone most martial artists, even most dominators had never heard of divine abilities.

The five knew only because they encountered divine abilities and then investigated them.

Not long before their accident, they had actually already found a clue to a divine ability.

That divine ability, they found, was held by a small sect in the Eastern Profound Domain. The sect's name was forgotten, but the divine ability seemed to be called... Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan.

It belonged to the same school as their Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan, and there was some connection between them, which is why they were able to easily find the clue.

They originally planned to retrieve it after becoming dominators, but unfortunately, they never got the chance.

Their chaotic state prevented them from straying too far from this world, or for too long.

Upon seeing the four characters "Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan," Chen De suddenly remembered something.

He had come into contact with the Qianyuan Sect when he was undercover in Qiu Xian Hall.

At that time, Chen De was interested in Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan, and he even sent an Inner Sect Disciple to infiltrate as an undercover agent when he left Qiu Xian Hall.

Now he didn't know how things were going; Chen De hadn't paid attention to matters there since he left last time.

He originally thought it was just a unique skill, but now it seemed he really should go back and check.

Since the divine ability Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan was so impressive, Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan should be just as good.

Since that was the case, Chen De wanted the Qianyuan Sect's divine ability, and he also wanted the Golden-Robed Man's divine ability.

So what should he do now, since he hadn't comprehended the divine ability yet?

Chen De looked at the Golden-Robed Man, a warmer smile spreading across his face.

He didn't expect it was time for the Holy Mother Sect to expand its recruitment again.

It was truly troublesome; he, the Supreme Holy Mother, had to personally handle everything.

But there was no other way; who told him he loved this world so deeply? This little grievance, he would just endure it.

Thus, some black liquid seeped from Chen De's palm and crawled onto the Golden-Robed Man's body...
