All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 974 - 252: Youth Edition Fate Pattern

The initial thought that occurred to An Jing arose from his sequential attempts to refine various cultivation techniques.

The seventh-tier Taibai Divine Prohibition, Seven Lethal Techniques, True Decipher of Heaven and Man... All of An Jing’s fundamental cultivation techniques successfully condensed divine intent.

Taibai strengthens and sharpens material, excelling in armor-piercing; Seven Fiend endows weapons with corrosive and destructive attacks that are irreparable and can switch attributes; while Heavenly Person manipulates the flow of surrounding spiritual fiends, each strike can restore a certain amount of spiritual fiend and stamina.

And secondary cultivation techniques, such as the sixth-tier Tranquil Sword Manual and the fifth-tier True Scripture of Seeing Void and Seeing Self, can also be condensed, resulting in effects like soul condensing to ward off demons, clarity of mind, and the perception of every flow of spiritual fiend within the body, whether beneficial or harmful.

Following that were various other cultivation techniques, each with different effects.

During this process, An Jing also discerned the essence of the divine skill [Concentrated Divine Intent].

"Essentially, it’s through causality that a ’template’ of a portion of my power is imposed upon a target, but how much power it can actually exert depends on how well the target adapts to my ’template.’"

In An Jing’s hand, a branch was gradually crumbling into scattered wood shavings.

From within, sharp Golden Qi surged out, transforming into scattered divine intent, like platinum sparks.

This divine intent was fundamentally composed of countless intricate Daoist patterns, which could be borne by metal or Metal Attribute materials. However, with a branch of Wood Element material, not only was it incapable of bearing it, but it would also be destroyed by this divine intent.

Even with metal, it could not fully bear it. According to tests, ordinary mortal iron could withstand less than ten percent of the divine intent, Mysterious Iron could bear thirty percent, and Jade Cutting Steel could withstand fifty-five percent—though this was already sufficient to elevate their material properties by several large tiers, endowing powers such as Cutting Jade Breaking Gold and Vajra Unbreakable, yet still unable to unleash the complete power of the divine intent.

Upon closer observation, An Jing discovered a crucial fact.

[The divine intent itself has no power]

It was because the divine intent contained no inherent power and was merely a template that An Jing’s extraction of his divine power and divine intent would not affect his combat strength in any way.

Likewise, the so-called ’endurance’ of those materials was, in fact, not endurance at all, but rather that when the divine intent descended upon the material, it would draw the corresponding spirit qi through the material’s properties to reinforce itself. Mortal iron absorbed less, so it strengthened less, while Mysterious Iron and Jade Cutting Steel absorbed more, so they strengthened more.

The ’branch’ material was equivalent to mortal iron, but it could not endure Golden Qi and was thus destroyed by the spirit qi drawn by the divine intent upon its descent.

At this point, An Jing did not ponder too deeply—although he vaguely sensed that this ability seemed somewhat ’familiar,’ due to personal habits, he was inclined to think about how to use this ability to enhance his strength for combat.

It was not until An Jing extracted the magical intent from [Jade Mirror Floating Light Carrying Spring Color]—a fusion of the Bright Mirror Cultivation Method and Wood Element Cultivation—when he casually planned to use a newly acquired Evergreen Wood Seedling for testing.

An Jing initially intended to break a branch off the seedling, impose divine intent upon it, then restore it, and this plan was quite successful. The Evergreen Wood Branch was very suitable for the divine intent of Bearing Spring Color, quickly absorbing a large amount of Wood Element spirit qi, rejuvenating and returning to its original form.

Yet, the final result was unexpected for An Jing.

Because, as the branch returned to the [Evergreen Wood Seedling], the divine intent of Bearing Spring Color surprisingly also imposed itself on the entire seedling!

Immediately, something wondrous occurred.

Under An Jing’s astonished gaze, the seedling enveloped in divine intent was surrounded by a ’Light Wheel’ he was exceedingly familiar with—this light wheel very much resembled a Fate Pattern’s totemic light wheel, but was cruder than a Mortal Fate, merely a series of Wood Qi condensing into Spiritual Light along the pattern’s path.

The originally dormant seedling began to actively absorb spirit qi. It stretched its branches and leaves, its roots proliferating, and all the damage caused by being uprooted from the cultivation ground was rapidly repaired, as if the [Bearing Spring Color] cultivation technique was being activated!

"What?!"

An Jing’s eyes widened, and with his aptitude and comprehension, he instantly realized what the divine skill [Concentrated Divine Intent] bore resemblance to.

As if a bolt of lightning shot through his mind, linking everything together, the young Heavenly Destiny Master involuntarily murmured, "So that’s how it is..."

"What happened?"

Hearing An Jing’s exclamation, both Nian Quan and Huo Qing, who had almost never seen An Jing express surprise or astonishment, quickly arrived.

At this moment, because Nian Quan’s expansive flat was under renovation, An Jing and Nian Quan, who were ’resting’ due to the Heavenly Tribulation, along with Huo Qing, had all come to the warehouse in Chonggang Town.

Without An Jing realizing it, the [Peace Grocery Store] established in his name was already thriving. This store, located in a prime location and dealing in talismans, ammunition, luggage storage, lower-grade magic artifacts, and the acquisition of various low-rank spiritual materials, was doing a booming business. After all, for low-level cultivators, it was more convenient to buy necessities from a comprehensive but not specialized grocery store than to visit multiple specialized shops.

Huo Qing was also a major proprietor, not responsible for daily operations, and daily maintenance relied on personnel dispatched from Iron Hand and Rusty Feather, while the cultivation area inside the warehouse was becoming increasingly comprehensive, no less capable than the professional seclusion rooms within the Third Middle School.

"Brothers, accompany me for a test!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

When the two arrived, An Jing did not say much and directly began condensing Divine Will, attacking the two of them.

"What is this?"

Huo Qing never doubted An Jing. He stepped forward and received a reddish-brown Divine Will An Jing had sent his way. At the same time, Nian Quan also received the ice-blue Divine Will sent by An Jing.

Then, Huo Qing immediately felt that his body and soul had suddenly learned a cultivation technique he was extremely familiar with but was more profound in some aspects than his own understanding.

It was naturally [Grass and Wood Withering and Flourishing Return to Flame Soil]!

This cultivation technique was tailored by An Jing for Huo Qing from the start. An Jing himself had also practiced it, but because he only designed a broad framework, their Returning Flame Soil gradually diverged with further cultivation.

An Jing’s Returning Flame Soil leaned towards explosive bombardment, a merciless explosion fist generator, mainly emphasizing firepower coverage.

Huo Qing’s Returning Flame Soil inclined towards self-augmentation, endowing the body with powerful explosive strength that rapidly enhances physical strength, speed, and power in a short time, essentially a more controllable version of Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skills with fewer side effects.

This was due to their personality differences and needs: An Jing had the Taibai Divine Prohibition and did not need Returning Flame Soil for augmentation, requiring only an efficient and practical method for killing. Huo Qing’s martial arts cultivation method only included Returning Flame Soil, and as a body cultivator, he gravitated towards comprehensive development, enhancing his entire cultivation in all aspects.

Now, however, various skilled insights of [Withering Glory Explosion Fist] emerged within Huo Qing’s mind. Unconsciously, he activated Returning Flame Soil, and the aura of grass and wood burned intensely, erupting in the Jiang Palace, instantly propelling him into the withering state, ready to unleash a withering glory explosion fist!

In an instant, the whole rear of the warehouse was illuminated with a scarlet flame light—but the flame light quickly dissipated.

An Jing raised his hand, gripping Huo Qing’s fist with excitement, he asked, "How does it feel?"

"...Amazing!"

Huo Qing also returned from the exhilarating instinct, raising his hand in amazement, watching his still red-jade-like hot fist, "Just in that moment, my understanding of Returning Flame Soil deepened significantly! Although I haven’t completely mastered it, I can still activate that ’explosion fist’!"

"Indeed interesting—An Jing, have you learned the Heart-to-Heart Technique? Can you impart your insights to us?"

On the other side, Nian Quan raised his sword thoughtfully—a trail of ice crystals solidified on it. As he slightly shook the sword, several ice crystals dispersed, hovering around the sword, poised to shoot out like bullets, penetrating the enemy.

Similarly, in Nian Quan’s hand, the Snow Swinging Blade essentially strengthens his Heavenly River Sword Skills, whereas in An Jing’s hand, it becomes a portable heavy machine gun, capable of instantly creating a massive ice barrage to overwhelm the enemy.

He quickly realized his current situation, probably because An Jing shared his experience with them.

Though the connection could be severed quickly, reverting them to their original state, once experienced, part of the experience can be retained and cannot be completely taken away. Nian Quan is also a genius—given a direction, he can swiftly grasp another utilization method of the Snow Swinging Blade.

"Indeed so, but it’s not just simple experience sharing."

At this moment, seeing Huo Qing and Nian Quan seamlessly accept the ’Divine Will Blessing’, An Jing has fully grasped the essence of his Divine Skill.

He raised his hand, almost sighing to himself, "The same cultivation technique, due to different personalities and needs, takes different directions under the influence of a martial artist..."

"Fate Pattern is the same rationale!"

"So that’s why the same Fate Pattern gradually gets rectified by various secret methods to fit into the shape of the Life Holder!"

Now, An Jing could ascertain.

Divine Will can spontaneously grant special abilities and the learning of cultivation, as can Fate Pattern.

Divine Will requires compatibility in qualifications and material of the granted to achieve maximum effect, as does Fate Pattern requiring the alignment of someone’s nature to manifest upon them.

Granting Divine Will aims to enhance the strength of the grantee for combat.

No need to elaborate on Fate Pattern.

His [Concentrated Divine Intent] granting others and objects [Divine Will] is essentially the same act as [Heavenly Dao] granting [Fate Patterns] to all things, differing only in quality!

Or rather, [Concentrated Divine Intent] is the youthful version of the [Heavenly Gifted Fate]!
