Chapter 486: New Divine Ability.

Currently, Ji Yang’s main source of cultivation points solely came from these few top-tier spiritual plants.

However, as time passed, the rate at which these plants produced Light Points slowed down increasingly, and the numerous spiritual grains in his hand had been planted countless times, exhausting their remaining value.

Now, these spiritual grains could only contribute White Light Points to Ji Yang.

If not for a few high-level spiritual plants occasionally providing some cultivation points, Ji Yang would have already sought other methods.

Aside from the troubles with cultivation points, the speed of condensing the essence had also become quite a headache for Ji Yang.

Merely farming seemed insufficient to elevate this essence condensation to a higher level; at this pace, even if he farmed for another ten years, he likely wouldn’t achieve mastery of this essence.

In contrast, the essence of the sword had not required much use of the Xuantian Breathing Technique, but its condensation was surprisingly not low.

As for the time essence, it remained unchanged, yet Ji Yang didn’t care about it.

He had previously used this essence to enhance the maturing speed of spiritual plants, with decent results. However, merging the two essences was a significant drain on his internal mana, and each time he used them, the two essences would fall into a brief period of dormancy and could not be passively triggered.

Considering the long term, Ji Yang decided against continuing and only came by occasionally during the spiritual grain’s growth phase.

In three years, although Ji Yang had not advanced a single step in realm, his body’s strength had vastly exceeded that of the past. Two years ago, he had already achieved the Immaculate Body.

Now, Ji Yang felt his body’s strength could rival two Immaculate Bodies, but unlike the last time, an overall transformation did not occur.

However, his body was still capable of absorbing, indicating that he had not yet reached his limit.

Aside from the physical changes, the enhancement brought by the essence was also significant.

Though his realm remained the same as three years ago, Ji Yang’s mastery over his essence had improved greatly.

Even without actively using the essence, Ji Yang’s every move unconsciously resonated with nature.

Even planting spiritual grains, he could always place them in the most suitable positions.

If he were to fight against a cultivator at the Unity with the Dao stage from three years ago, even without using the time essence, he could easily defeat him with a sword; this was the confidence he had gained over the past three years.

Yet, Ji Yang was not satisfied; since the essence could manifest in percentage form, he must push this essence to its hundred percent!

Perhaps at that time, his essence would reach complete mastery.

Only then could he achieve feather transformation and ascension, resolving the Chains of the Heavenly Dao hanging over him.

But for now, farming clearly could not lead to further progress; he needed to think about his next plans.

Should he seek other types of spiritual grains, or delve deeper into the sect’s spiritual herb garden?

Or perhaps he should spend a few years cultivating in one of the sect’s mines?

However, whether it was the spiritual herb garden or the sect’s mines, he seemed to be on a blacklist, making entry difficult. He couldn’t just sneak in, could he?

As Ji Yang pondered, he walked towards the spiritual plants area, ready to make plans for today’s Light Point harvest.

But before he could take two steps, a unique fragrance wafted into his nose.

This smell? It seemed familiar; Ji Yang quickly turned his gaze towards the spiritual plants area.

There, he saw the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower, which had long been planted in the spiritual field, now slowly blooming a flower petal.

Seeing this, Ji Yang was astonished. Previously, he had used his divine ability to stimulate this spiritual plant, but at that time, the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower had not offered him many rewards, only a few Blue Light Points.

Afterward, Ji Yang stopped using his abilities to force its growth, but he never expected that the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower would bloom another petal now.

This time, it was not the power of the divine ability; it was all thanks to his careful nurturing.

Of course, even with the best care, top-tier spiritual plants wouldn’t grow this quickly in just a few years.

It seemed that Ji Yang’s use of the time essence on this spiritual plant over the past three years played a significant role in its rapid growth.

Additionally, he had buried numerous spiritual stones in the spiritual fields where these top-tier spiritual plants were planted, aiming to accelerate their growth.

Now, he finally had some results, but he wondered if this bloom would yield just a few cultivation points like last time.

Ji Yang did not have high expectations; even if it was just cultivation points, they were still what he needed at present.

He stood by quietly, waiting for the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower to fully blossom.

As the surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed, the mature buds on the spiritual plant began to open one by one, slowly revealing each petal.

When the seven petals fully unfurled, the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower finally bloomed a new white soul flower.

In the very center of the petals, a purple Light Point faintly shimmered through the pure white petals.

“Oh?”

Ji Yang exclaimed in surprise and slowly approached, quickly discovering the sparkling purple Light Point on the spiritual plant.

Unexpectedly, this bloom brought forth a divine ability.

He felt a bit hopeful.

Ji Yang shook his head slightly.

Now, he possessed quite a few divine abilities, and a new one wasn’t enough to excite him significantly.

Nevertheless, Ji Yang did not hold back and reached out to absorb it.

Nine Heavens Thunder Escape: Wherever the lightning strikes, the path is left behind.

Ji Yang’s eyes narrowed as he began to carefully read the instruction manual for this divine ability.

As he studied it, his originally calm expression gradually showed signs of fluctuation.

This was an escaping technique, but not an ordinary five-element escaping technique; it was the lightning escape.

Each escaping technique has its limitations; for example, with earth escape, once you leave the ground, your speed significantly decreases.

Lightning escape, naturally, requires lightning.

Most cultivators, unless they practiced lightning attribute techniques, would likely be unable to use this divine ability. However, Ji Yang possessed thunder within him, his body filled with lightning calamity, which would allow him to use this divine ability fully.

According to the description of this ability, the Nine Heavens Thunder Escape moves at incredible speed, capable of traversing thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

Yet this was not where its advantages ended; beyond its incredible speed,

this divine ability could set up nine locations, referred to as “Heavens.” From one “Heaven” to another, no matter the distance in between, one could arrive in the blink of an eye with minimal mana expenditure, which is how the divine ability got its name.

However, every “Heaven” location had to be established in advance by the cultivator, who would use the divine ability to leave a mark behind.

Simply put, this was not only an escaping technique but also an easy-to-use teleportation array.

Sects do have teleportation arrays, but setting them up is often extremely complicated and costly, and generally only elite sects can afford them. Due to the high costs involved, there are not many teleportation points in the Cultivation World.

Unless for major events, cultivators often prefer to travel using spiritual boats.

After finishing the introduction to this divine ability, a bold idea suddenly sprouted in Ji Yang’s mind.
