From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 527 Advancement to True Discipleship, Two Great Divine Abilities

In the Inner Immortal Courtyard, the door to Li Chengqian's secluded meditation room slowly opened.

With a single step, his aura was completely different from before his seclusion. Although he deliberately concealed it, the vast magical power hidden within him, like a dormant dragon, still caused the surrounding air to distort slightly, creating imperceptible ripples. A sense of harmony and majesty, a result of a leap in life level, naturally flowed forth, and his eyes, as they opened and closed, contained an inner divine light, penetrating the void.

"The Divine Power Realm is indeed a leap to heaven. From now on, I am no longer a mortal, but a true cultivator."

Feeling the terrifying magical power surging within him, equivalent to the strength of a thousand Xuanhuang steeds, he smiled slightly. Without lingering, his figure swayed slightly, transforming into a faint stream of light, and flew towards the deepest part of the Feathered Immortal Mountain, to the Feathered Heavenly Palace, which floated above the nine heavens and was shrouded in clouds and mist.

Achieving the realm of supernatural powers grants the ability to soar through the skies, which is the most significant characteristic.

The Feathered Heavenly Palace is not a single palace, but a vast complex of buildings, suspended in the misty clouds above the main peak of Feathered Immortal Mountain, bathed in countless rays of light and auspicious mists, like a legendary celestial palace. Countless pavilions, towers, palaces, and plazas are arranged according to a mysterious formation, guarding the most magnificent and splendid main hall in the center.

Ordinary disciples would never be able to set foot in this place in their entire lives; only true disciples and high-ranking members of the sect are allowed to come and go freely.

As Li Chengqian flew to the outer edge of the Heavenly Palace, he was blocked by an invisible, gentle yet extremely resilient array of light. He did not force his way in, but instead, in accordance with the sect rules, he infused a wisp of his own magical power into the light barrier, and at the same time proclaimed, "Disciple Li Chengqian has reached the Divine Power Realm and has come to the Heavenly Palace to pay homage and apply for promotion to True Disciple!"

The sound was not loud, yet it clearly penetrated the formation and reached the depths of the Heavenly Palace.

A moment later, ripples spread across the light screen, and a portal quietly opened. A disciple dressed in a blue Daoist robe, exuding a profound aura, appeared. His cultivation was clearly at the third level of the Divine Power Realm, the Yuan Gang Realm. His gaze fell on Li Chengqian, sensing the unusually condensed and powerful magical energy fluctuations of someone who had just entered the Divine Power Realm. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his solemn, official demeanor.

"Junior Brother Li, please come with me. Elder Transmission and Elder Heavenly Punishment are already waiting at the True Transmission Palace."

"Thank you for leading the way, senior brother." Li Chengqian bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

Following the guiding disciple, Li Chengqian flew into the Feathered Heavenly Palace. Upon entering, he felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more than ten times richer, almost turning into a tangible spiritual mist. Taking a breath made him feel refreshed and his magical power more vibrant.

In the distance, the cries of cranes and the calls of phoenixes could be heard, and nearby, powerful auras could be seen moving about, some riding swords, some riding clouds, and some riding magical artifacts. All of them were cultivators at the Divine Power Realm or above.

The True Transmission Palace is located in the eastern part of the Heavenly Palace complex. It is a solemn and majestic hall. The hall door is made of an unknown ancient wood, which emits a faint fragrance. The two characters "True Transmission" are written in strong and elegant strokes, containing infinite Taoist charm.

Stepping into the hall was like entering another dimension. The hall was vast and its dome hung high, as if the starry sky were flowing within it. Two figures sat upright on futons deep within the hall, like two insurmountable mountains, exuding a chilling majesty.

On the left, a man with an ancient and simple face, and gentle yet profound eyes, seemed to contain all the knowledge and principles of the world—this was the Transmission Elder. On the right, a young man with jet-black hair and a clean-shaven face, was none other than the Heavenly Punishment Elder, who wielded the Heavenly Punishment Platform and struck fear into the hearts of countless disciples!
The two elders' gazes fell on Li Chengqian at the same time, sweeping over his body as if they were physical objects.

In an instant, Li Chengqian felt as if he had been seen through, his physical body, magical power, and even his mental thoughts were all exposed under his gaze.

However, all of this was within his expectations. His own aura was perfectly integrated, and the Azure Mirror of Illumination was hidden deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, obscure and ancient, without revealing any abnormalities. Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, amidst the rippling light of the mirror, even the two elders from the Longevity Realm could only see that he had a solid foundation and extraordinary encounters, but they could not see that he possessed the magical power of a thousand galloping horses as soon as he stepped into the Divine Power Realm.

"Disciple Li Chengqian greets the two elders!" Li Chengqian bowed respectfully. Elder Tianxing spoke first, his voice cold and hard as iron: "Li Chengqian, I am aware that you killed the newly promoted Divine Power disciple Zhao Wuji on the Heavenly Punishment Platform. After investigation, it was indeed a fair duel, in accordance with the sect rules, and there was no foul play involved. Now that you have entered the Divine Power Realm, the past matters will be settled according to the rules."

"Thank you for your insight, Elder," Li Chengqian replied calmly.

The elder who was transmitting the skills nodded slightly, his tone much gentler: "Li Chengqian, your foundation is truly exceptional. To possess such power so early in your cultivation is a blessing for the Feathered Ascension Sect. Now that you have entered the realm of supernatural powers, you should be bestowed with true teachings. However, a true disciple is not merely one with high magical power; one must also possess excellent character, innate talent, and favorable opportunities, and above all, loyalty to the sect. Do you understand?"

"Disciple understands. I will diligently cultivate and practice to bring glory to the sect and live up to the sect's kindness in nurturing me." Li Chengqian's face was solemn, as if he were willing to dedicate himself to the sect to the utmost, even unto death.

"Very well." The Transmission Elder stroked his beard and smiled. "In that case, I will teach you the Eight Great Divine Abilities of the Feathered Ascension Sect as is customary. These are the foundation upon which our Feathered Ascension Sect stands in the Xuanhuang Great World. Each one has boundless power, and when cultivated to its peak, one can roam freely throughout the universe. You must choose carefully, select one or two to cultivate in depth, and do not try to do too much at once."

Having said that, the Elder Transmission of Skills waved his sleeve.

hum!
Eight beams of light, each a different color and with a distinct aura, flew out from his sleeve and hovered in front of Li Chengqian, like eight dazzling stars, radiating a vast and boundless energy fluctuation and profound and unpredictable spiritual information.

"This is the true essence of the eight great supernatural powers of my Feathered Ascension Sect. Take a look and make your own choice."

Li Chengqian's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but find it a little funny. His treatment was far superior to that of the protagonist, Fang Han. He had eight supernatural powers to choose from right away, and he could choose one or two. In other words, he could choose two.

Am I the protagonist, or is Fang Han the protagonist?

Li Chengqian raised his head, and the true meanings of the eight great supernatural powers floated before him, dazzling with light and flowing with Daoist charm. Each one represented a path directly leading to the Great Dao of Immortality, enough to drive any cultivator in the realm of supernatural powers mad. Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, appearing to be deep in thought.

After a moment, he spoke, "This disciple chooses the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade and the Heavenly Cold Profound Nether Force!"

He chose the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade naturally because he wanted to get closer to Fang Qingxue, since she had also chosen this divine power. As for the Heavenly Cold Profound Nether Force, it was because it was an extremely yin and cold divine power that could freeze all things. For someone like him who had already comprehended the Ice Soul Divine Light, it was very suitable. He even thought about using this great divine power as a reference to evolve the Ice Soul Divine Light and see if he could use it to evolve the Great Ice Soul Technique of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Even if he couldn't deduce it, he could still evolve a great Dao divine power that was no weaker than the Great Ice Soul Technique.

The elder who transmitted the power listened without saying much. With a flick of his finger, the purple lightning and the dark, icy, and bone-chilling true essence seed transformed into two streams of light, entering Li Chengqian's brow and merging into his sea of ​​consciousness. Instantly, the complete cultivation methods, energy flow routes, and various insights regarding the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade and the Heavenly Cold Profound Nether Force were fully revealed and deeply imprinted upon him.

“True disciples should have an independent mountain peak as their training ground. The Heavenly Craft Academy will build a mountain peak for you, and you can move in after it is completed. The various benefits of the sect will be explained to you by the steward disciples later.”

"Thank you, Elder!" Li Chengqian bowed again.

Elder Chuan Gong and Elder Tian Xing nodded slightly, their figures gradually blurring and finally disappearing into the depths of the hall.
