926 Incomplete Divine Ability Technique

Among the three Perfected Lords, Perfected Lord Wind was the leader. Perfected Lord Wind was also the co-founder of the Mystic Stone City, and his status was almost equivalent to Perfected Lord Mystic Stone. He had already shown great sincerity by personally inviting Lin Feng.

Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Perfected Lord Wind did not conceal anything. Clearly, he was already prepared.

“Perfected Lord Lin, this matter started a year ago. A year ago, our Mystic Stone City was as it had always been. With a few Perfected Lords presiding over it, we could even hold a slight advantage over those Chaotic dire beasts. Many Chaotic Perfected Persons were willing to leave the city to kill Chaotic dire beasts. However, one day, we suddenly stopped receiving news from all the Chaotic Perfected Persons who left the city, be they peak Chaotic Perfected Persons or ordinary Chaotic Perfected Persons. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.

“When the matter was reported to the few of us Perfected Lords, we all felt that it was very peculiar, because usually, such a strange thing had never happened. Hence, a Perfected Lord went out of the city to investigate. Unfortunately, he never returned.”

Lin Feng frowned and asked, “Even a Perfected Lord failed to return. Had he fallen?”

“That’s right. We were also extremely shocked when we learned of this news. The death of a Perfected Lord is a huge matter. In the long time since the establishment of Mystic Stone City, no Perfected Lord had ever fallen. After all, although Perfected Lords can’t kill Chaotic spirit beasts in a battle with Chaotic spirit beasts, they still have some advantages. Forget about one Chaotic spirit beast, it won’t be so easy for even a few Chaotic spirit beasts to surround and kill a Perfected Lord. A Perfected Lord can definitely escape. However, this time, that Perfected Lord was unable to return.

“We sensed the severity of the matter, so we had all the Perfected Lords in Mystic Stone City to investigate the matter under Perfected Lord Mystic Stone’s lead. After this investigation, we finally understood the reason. It turned out that outside Mystic Stone City, five Chaotic spirit beasts had actually joined forces, and they were following the orders of an unfamiliar Chaotic spirit beast. That unfamiliar Chaotic spirit beast could even kill a Perfected Lord! If we had not escaped quickly, we would probably have fallen as well.

“There’s another important reason why the Chaotic dire beasts can’t destroy the cities of cultivators like us, apart from the defensive arrays in our cities. Those Chaotic dire beasts are not united and wouldn’t join forces. Even the Chaotic dire beasts have many conflicts with each other. Usually, they’d can be considered at peace if they aren’t fighting each other.

“But now, under the lead of that mysterious Chaotic spirit beast, all the surrounding Chaotic dire beasts have joined forces. Immediately, the situation reversed, and our Mystic Stone City was plunged into imminent danger. In particular, with the existence of that Chaotic spirit beast, even Perfected Lords like us are in imminent danger. Hence, due to the urgency of the situation, we asked our surrounding companions for help. Some of our companions rushed over, and we even gathered eight Perfected Lords. However, we still suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with those Chaotic spirit beasts, and could only escape back to Mystic Stone City. Even Mystic Stone City won’t be able to hold out for long.”

Hearing this, everyone could sense the urgency in Perfected Lord Wind’s tone.

“Later, we heard about Perfected Lord Lin’s prowess. That’s why the City Lord asked us to bring the precious treasure and come to invite Perfected Lord Lin. He hopes that Perfected Lord could make a trip to the Mystic Stone City to save it.”

With that, Perfected Lord Wind stood up again and bowed deeply to Lin Feng, offering him the “treasure”.

The so-called treasure was actually an exquisite box. Perfected Lord Wind opened the box, and there was actually a dilapidated book inside.

“Huh, this is?”

Lin Feng was a little confused.

“This is a divine ability technique!” Perfected Lord Wind said solemnly.

“What? A divine ability technique?”

With a whoosh, Perfected Lord Extreme Spirit and Perfected Lord Empyrean both stood up abruptly and stared intently at the dilapidated ancient book in the box. Divine ability. Divine abilities were methods that only Perfected Deities could possess.

The “ultimate treasure” that countless Perfected Lords dreamed of was a supreme cultivation technique.

Although there were no fixed cultivation techniques in the perfected spirit realm, nor were there any cultivation techniques that allowed one to reach the Perfected Deity realm, there was no doubt that by studying divine abilities, even if one could only obtain a little of them, they would still be able to gain a glimpse of the mysteries of a Perfected Deity.

Even if there was only a trace of hope, it was still a great hope. If one could use the divine ability technique as the foundation to slowly study, and finally comprehend the divine ability, it would be even more incredible.

This was because once one comprehended a divine ability, they would become a Perfected Deity!

“There’s a divine ability technique on the Hallowed Beast Continent?”

Lin Feng was not that excited, however. Instead, he was very confused. According to the information he had heard from Perfected Lord Sword Wielder, in addition to some information he had inquired about later, he had learned about the situation on the Hallowed Beast Continent.

There was not a single Chaotic Perfected Deity, and they had never even been born. How could there be any divine ability techniques?

“That’s right. No Perfected Deity has ever been born in the Hallowed Beast Continent. How can there be divine ability techniques?”

Perfected Lord Empyrean and Perfected Lord Extreme Spirit also came to a realization. Indeed, without a Perfected Deity, where would the divine ability technique come from?

Their gazes were all fixed on Perfected Lord Wind. Perfected Lord Wind could only smile weakly and say, “This is only an incomplete fragment of a divine ability technique, and is only of some reference value. How rare is a true divine ability technique? However, even an incomplete fragment of a divine ability technique is very precious in the Hallowed Beast Continent. Perfected Lord Mystic Stone obtained it by chance when he was traveling in the depths of the Chaos in the past. Unfortunately, even after Perfected Lord Mystic Stone has comprehended it for tens of thousands of years, he still could not comprehend a supreme divine ability.”

Perfected Lord Wind’s detailed explanation made both Perfected Lord Empyrean and Perfected Lord Extreme Spirit nod.

“If it’s just an incomplete divine ability technique, it’s not impossible. There are many Perfected Lords on our Hallowed Beast Continent, and many who have traveled the depths of the Chaos. Some Perfected Lords also have the opportunity to obtain some incomplete divine ability techniques. However, I didn’t expect Perfected Lord Mystic Stone to also have an incomplete divine ability technique,” Perfected Lord Empyrean smiled as he said.

The reason was very simple. If it was not absolutely necessary, even if it was an incomplete divine ability technique, how could Perfected Lord Mystic Stone reveal it so easily, let alone give it to other Perfected Lords?

It was only because the situation in Mystic Stone City was really urgent and it was in imminent danger. Perfected Lord Mystic Stone was unwilling to give up on Mystic Stone City so easily. Hence, after weighing the pros and cons, he reluctantly delivered the incomplete divine ability technique to Lin Feng.

After all, to Perfected Lords, no amount of benefits could compare to a little improvement in cultivation. Above Perfected Lords were Perfected Deities. Even if there was only a little hope and clues, Perfected Lords would not give up.

“I’ll accept the divine ability technique!”

“This is great! Thank you, Perfected Lord Lin. Our Mystic Stone City is saved!”

Perfected Lord Wind was overjoyed, appearing extremely happy.

Lin Feng was famous now. They had heard that he had killed four Chaotic spirit beasts in a row. How powerful was that? He was definitely already standing at the peak of the Hallowed Beast Continent, as one of the top Perfected Lords.

Although there were other top-notch Perfected Lords on the Hallowed Beast Continent who could kill Chaotic spirit beasts, those top-notch Perfected Lords were all too far from the Mystic Stone City. Even with the speed of a Perfected Lord, there was no knowing how long it would take to fly there. Moreover, it was hard to say if they would accept the invitation.

Lin Feng of Empyrean City was the closest. If Lin Feng acted, most of the crisis of Mystic Stone City would be good as resolved.
