Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1692: Chapter 1692: With a Powerful Ally, Fearless

Surprise aside, the guy wasn’t actually greatly affected. That terrifying Heaven and Earth Power posed no threat to him.

This is not surprising since when he first arrived at the Holy Court Continent from another remote cultivation plane, apart from being unable to perform his cultivation due to the Heaven and Earth Rules, his body wasn’t affected, showing his unusual physique. Of course, arriving at the Divine Continent wouldn’t cause him much trouble either.

”Now you know why the cultivation methods between the Divine Continent and the Holy Court Continent differ so greatly, right?” Ye Yi’an asked with a smile.

Mu Hanyan nodded. The cultivation method on the Holy Court Continent involves directly absorbing Heaven and Earth Power into the Qi Sea (the Mu Family’s technique is rather special, storing it in the Heart Meridian, but the principle is the same, storing it within the body), and then refining it to form Qi stored within the body, thereby changing the physique. By stimulating qi, one can unleash power far beyond ordinary human limits.

As one’s strength increases, one can also perceive various laws contained within Heaven and Earth, such as wind, fire, water, and earth. She experienced such law tests during her trials in the Illusion Realm.

However, the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent is so fierce, far from the balanced and gentle power of the Holy Court Continent. It also contains the most direct Power of Laws, making it impossible to absorb into the Qi Sea, unless one has a death wish; one must use other cultivation methods.

”The cultivation method of the Divine Continent involves first perceiving various Law Powers within Heaven and Earth, extracting a power one can bear, then using Temple Secret Techniques for condensation, storing it within the Heart Meridian. As for the method of deployment, it doesn’t differ much from sword technique,” Ye Yi’an said.

”How do you perceive, extract, and condense it?” Mu Hanyan asked.

Seeing Kang Zihe use a Longsword, she guessed that the deployment method of Temple Divine Arts doesn’t differ much from sword technique. The key lies in cultivating mental method; the reason Mu Family’s disciples have superior combat power compared to other cultivators of the same realm is fundamentally due to the mystique of the Heavenly Heart Technique.

Ye Yi’an made it sound simple to perceive, extract, and condense, but Mu Hanyan felt the fierce and direct Power of Laws around her and knew that this wasn’t an easy task.

Originally, Mu Hanyan was worried about starting cultivation from scratch, not knowing how long it would take to reach a cultivation level equivalent to her previous cultivation, especially since the Mu Family, being one of Anyun’s Eight Great Families, was absent here; she lacked her previous foundation. But now, she isn’t worried at all; with her incomparable talent, it might just be quicker to cultivate than before.

”Holy Saint, are you alright?” Seeing Mu Hanyan sometimes dazing and sometimes grinning, Ye Yi’an asked worriedly.

”I’m fine, I’m fine.” Mu Hanyan snapped out of it and couldn’t help but chuckle, then curiously asked, ”Doesn’t that mean Priest Divine Technique is more powerful than Holy Court Sword Technique, as one starts cultivation with Divine Sense and immediately perceives the Power of Laws?”

No wonder she asks this, knowing that cultivators on the Holy Court Continent usually begin cultivating Divine Sense after becoming a Sword Master and often don’t pay much attention to it until becoming a Great Sword Master or approaching that realm, when perceiving Heaven and Earth laws becomes necessary, realizing the importance of Divine Sense. If she hadn’t learned the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique under the guidance of Star Illusion Thousand Machine, she would be in the same situation.

From this perspective, isn’t Temple’s Priest Divine Technique more powerful than Holy Court Sword Technique?

”Do you think the chicken came first or the egg?” Ye Yi’an asked with a smile.

”Well...” Mu Hanyan couldn’t really answer that but vaguely understood Ye Yi’an’s meaning.

To truly become strong, both meridians and energy sea and Divine Sense are indispensable. On the Holy Court Continent, people first cultivate meridians and energy sea, while on the Divine Continent, people first cultivate Divine Sense. Ultimately, both paths lead to the same end. This can be seen from Fen Qianji and Gai Huangji’s formidable Sword Dao cultivation when they arrived at the Holy Court Continent. Thus, there isn’t a question of who is stronger.

But, the Temple’s Priests can start cultivation with Divine Sense; it seems slightly superior to Swordsmen.

”The Law Power on the Divine Continent is more direct and fierce, making it easier to perceive and doesn’t require a strong Divine Sense; you shouldn’t overly admire them,” Ye Yi’an’s words helped Mu Hanyan clear her lingering doubts.

Indeed, such intense direct Law Power is challenging to cultivate with Sword Dao; you could say it’s suicidal. However, the demand on Divine Sense is much lower, not necessarily surpassing the requirements of Swordsmen.

”Since you are the Priest, why not teach us directly instead of going to that bothersome Temple?” Ling Baobao interjected.

Speaking of which, seeing Mu Hanyan heading to Feng City Temple for the priesthood election, this guy suddenly changed his mind, wanting to experience being a priest.

According to him, with Mu Hanyan around, he won’t die. So, what’s there to fear?
