Chapter 2619: Minor Devouring Technique, Divine Ability of Heavenly Rank
When Wyatt Barnes and Manuel Willow left the Black Dragon Army encampment together, Black Dragon Army Commander ’Makai Holland’ deliberately spread the news that the issue from a month ago had been settled throughout the entire encampment.
The reason he did this was to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Since the incident at the Phoenix Arrival Wine House in Bloodshade City a month ago, most of his troops had been worried about the newly arrived Centurion ’Wyatt Barnes’, causing unrest among them.
As Makai Holland intentionally spread the news, the entire Black Dragon Army encampment was in uproar:
"I told you... Centurion Wyatt Barnes definitely wouldn’t be in trouble."
"I really didn’t expect that the Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s commander, ’Eren Maxwell’, would proactively say he wouldn’t pursue the matter... That’s not like him."
"Indeed. I had heard that Eren Maxwell, the commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, is a person who bears grudges, yet I didn’t expect that he would actually tell the City Lord he wouldn’t pursue this at all... Could the sun have risen from the west?"
...
Within the Black Dragon Army encampment, a group of soldiers, while excited, found this matter somewhat unbelievable.
However, they did not doubt the authenticity of the news.
Because the source of this news was none other than their own Black Dragon Army Commander!
As the Black Dragon Army encampment was in upheaval.
On the other side, Wyatt Barnes agreed to the ’transaction’ proposed by Bloodshade City Lord, Manuel Willow.
"City Lord."
Suddenly recalling something, Wyatt glanced at Manuel Willow and asked, "Regarding the auxiliary divine ability I possess, I know that it is a highly advanced divine ability... But after practicing the Crystal Clear Profound Secret, refining my Immortal Origin Force, I discovered that its enhancement was not as significant as before."
"That’s normal."
Since Wyatt agreed to the transaction, Manuel Willow’s mood improved significantly. He smiled and said, "Auxiliary divine abilities of the heavenly planes rely not only on Immortal Origin Force but also on one’s cultivation level..."
"Just like a Heavenly Immortal... even if he practices a graded cultivation technique and refines his Immortal Origin Force, the enhancement brought by thoroughly mastering an Earth Rank auxiliary divine ability is just one level."
"Furthermore, even if he has thoroughly mastered a Profound Rank auxiliary divine ability, the enhancement to his Immortal Origin Force is only one level."
Manuel Willow explained, "All because his entire cultivation is only at the ’Heavenly Immortal’ stage."
"But if... a Heavenly Immortal, before practicing a graded cultivation technique, can enhance his Immortal Origin Force by two levels using an auxiliary divine ability, then what grade is that auxiliary divine ability?"
Wyatt asked.
At the same time, he felt a twinge of anticipation.
After all, the auxiliary divine ability he mastered, ’Minor Devouring Technique’, exhibited this exact characteristic.
"Then the auxiliary divine ability practiced by the Heavenly Immortal must be at least a ’Celestial Rank divine ability’!"
Manuel Willow promptly responded.
Simultaneously, he glanced at Wyatt, his eyes flashing slightly, evidently guessing something, "A Celestial Rank auxiliary divine ability, when used by a Heavenly Immortal who has practiced a graded cultivation method, can enhance his Immortal Origin Force by a full three levels!"
As Manuel Willow finished his explanation, Wyatt Barnes acquired the ’answer’ he sought.
"It seems... the auxiliary divine ability I possess, ’Minor Devouring Technique’, is indeed extraordinary, just as Elder Fire mentioned, and possibly a ’Celestial Rank divine ability’!"
Wyatt instinctively felt pleased.
In the heavenly planes, cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and Immortal Methods are divided into several grades. So far, Wyatt knew only the four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with Yellow being the lowest and Heaven the highest...
Now, knowing that his auxiliary divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ is a Celestial Rank divine ability, he was naturally delighted.
"City Lord."
Wyatt continued to ask, "According to what you said, a Heavenly Immortal can raise his Immortal Origin Force by up to three levels by deploying a Celestial Rank auxiliary divine ability... What if the person with sufficient cultivation can fully exert the powers of a Celestial Rank auxiliary divine ability? How many levels would it enhance his Immortal Origin Force?"
As he asked, Wyatt’s eyes also betrayed a glimmer of anticipation.
"Five levels."
Manuel Willow replied, "Only beings above the ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ level can fully harness the power of a Celestial Rank auxiliary divine ability!"
"Of course, even for Earth Rank auxiliary divine abilities and Profound Rank auxiliary divine abilities... Only beings at or above the ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ level can unleash their full power!"
...
With Manuel Willow’s patient explanation, Wyatt Barnes gained a comprehensive understanding of the auxiliary divine abilities across the four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, in the heavenly planes.
Yellow Rank auxiliary divine abilities, Profound Rank auxiliary divine abilities:
A Heavenly Immortal, whether he has practiced a graded heavenly plane cultivation method or not, can only elevate his Immortal Origin Force by one level when utilizing them.
A Golden Immortal, if he hasn’t practiced a graded heavenly plane cultivation method, can still only augment his Immortal Origin Force by one level; if he has practiced it, he can boost his Immortal Origin Force by two levels.
Elevating Immortal Origin Force by two levels represents the ’limit’ of Yellow Rank auxiliary divine abilities.
A Daai Law Golden Immortal can, by exhibiting a Profound Rank auxiliary divine ability, raise his Immortal Origin Force by three levels.
Earth Rank auxiliary divine abilities:
Heavenly Immortal, maximum enhancement by two levels.
Golden Immortals can elevate up to three levels.
Daai Law Golden Immortals can elevate up to four levels.
Heavenly-grade auxiliary divine abilities:
Heavenly Immortals can elevate up to three levels, like Duan Ling Tian now.
Golden Immortals can elevate up to four levels.
Daai Law Golden Immortals can elevate up to five levels.
After listening to Manuel Willow’s patient explanation, Wyatt Barnes further confirmed:
The Minor Devouring Technique he mastered is indeed a ’heavenly-grade auxiliary divine ability’!
"City Lord... how about other divine abilities?"
At the same time, Wyatt Barnes was eager to know the grade of his attack divine ability ’Green Lotus Thirteen Swords’ within the celestial planes.
"Other divine abilities are not restricted by cultivation levels or whether Immortal Origin is refined..."
In his explanations, Manuel Willow continued to patiently clarify to Wyatt Barnes.
Soon, Wyatt Barnes knew that the Green Lotus Thirteen Swords he mastered is an Earth Grade attack divine ability.
Moreover, he realized that the Supreme Heart Sword he had in his possession corresponds to an Earth Grade immortal technique that is well-rounded in attack, speed, and defense.
"Centurion Wyatt Barnes."
Suddenly, Manuel Willow looked at Wyatt Barnes with a solemn expression, "Although I don’t know the grade of the immortal techniques and divine abilities you possess... judging by the fact you defeated Eren Maxwell, your immortal techniques and divine abilities should be above heavenly-grade!"
This was Manuel Willow’s ’speculation’.
Of course, Manuel Willow’s speculation was built upon the assumption that Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation is at most at the ’Azure Moon Immortal’ level.
"City Lord, you guessed wrong."
Upon hearing Manuel Willow’s words, Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "The immortal techniques and divine abilities I possess only comprise heavenly-grade auxiliary divine abilities... as for other divine abilities and immortal techniques, they are merely Earth Grade."
"How could this be?!"
Manuel Willow looked at Wyatt Barnes in disbelief, "You’ve just ascended to Spiritual Heaven a month and a half ago... you joined the Black Dragon Army only a month ago. Even if your talent is exceptional, your cultivation level can at most break through to the ’Orange Moon Immortal’ tier in a month."
"An Orange Moon Immortal wanting to defeat Eren Maxwell... the grade of his immortal techniques and divine abilities should be ’above heavenly-grade’."
Manuel Willow expressed his speculation and reasoning.
"City Lord, your reasoning is correct."
Wyatt Barnes responded with a calm smile, "But the issue is, I am not just any Orange Moon Immortal... a month ago, during my battle with Eren Maxwell, my cultivation level was already at the ’Azure Moon Immortal’ tier."
"Later, with the ’Crystal Clear Profound Secret’ from Eren Maxwell, my cultivation level successfully broke through to the ’Blue Moon Celestial Immortal’ tier within a month."
"Now... I am a ’Blue Moon Celestial Immortal’!"
Wyatt Barnes stated.
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Manuel Willow was momentarily stupefied, then looked at Wyatt Barnes in disbelief, "Your... your cultivation... how could it improve so quickly?"
However, upon hearing Manuel Willow’s words, Wyatt Barnes inadvertently recalled a graceful and enchanting figure.
It was the mysterious woman, ’Milana Harrington’, he encountered shortly after ascending to Spiritual Heaven a month and a half ago.
A month ago, his cultivation elevated directly from ’Red Moon Immortal’ to ’Azure Moon Immortal’ because of the woman.
"After ascending to Spiritual Heaven, I gained some fortuitous encounters..."
Wyatt Barnes found a random excuse and casually brushed it off, "In the month and a half since I ascended to Spiritual Heaven, the cultivation I elevated on my own was only the span between ’Azure Moon Immortal’ and ’Blue Moon Celestial Immortal’."
Of course, Wyatt Barnes was personally aware:
The reason he managed to achieve ’Blue Moon Celestial Immortal’ within a mere month, aside from the contribution of the Earth Rank technique ’Crystal Clear Profound Secret’, it was largely because:
A month ago, after breaking through ’Azure Moon Immortal’, his cultivation was exceedingly close to the level of ’Blue Moon Celestial Immortal’.
If, a month ago, his breakthrough was merely at the threshold of Azure Moon Immortal, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve ’Blue Moon Celestial Immortal’ within a short month.
The major credit went to Milana Harrington.
"So that’s how it is."
Manuel Willow nodded. He could tell Wyatt Barnes was not inclined to elaborate, although curious, decided not to probe further.
He already vaguely guessed that Wyatt Barnes’s so-called fortuitous encounter likely originated from a ’small world’ south of Bloodshade City.
Before, Black Dragon Army Commander Makai Holland had mentioned this to him.
"City Lord, Commander Holland from our Black Dragon Army likely mentioned my prior excursions into that small world to the south... do you know which sect the immortal artifact named ’Cleansing World Duster’ came from?"
Wyatt Barnes looked intently at Manuel Willow and inquired.
