CHAPTER 491: 050 THOUSAND BUDDHA HANDS ADVANCE — TEN THOUSAND BUDDHA HANDS!

Eye of Insight perception increased!

Acquired Holy Skill: Triple Star Chain!

Natural School One-Circle Witchcraft — Proficiency in Whisper of Life boosted!

...

Opening his eyes, numerous realizations wandered in his mind. The Illusion Realm evolved from the Divine Gift lingered for a long time. "It can even drag a person’s consciousness into an Illusion Realm..."

Carl withdrew his palm, muttering softly, "Divine Gifts are truly bizarre, but this is the first time I’ve directly perceived a Holy Skill from one."

Among the gods he knew, the Hunting God belonged to the lesser-known, weaker category. It should be a Lower God of the Fourth-tier. However, compared to other Divine Gifts left by gods, His Divine Gift seemed more complete.

Could it be that the weaker the Divine, the fewer fragments and the more concentrated the Divine Power, making it easier to perceive Magic Doors from the Divine Gift?

Collecting his thoughts, Carl looked toward another Divine Gift. "Bo Wen?"

Strictly speaking, ’Bo Wen’ isn’t considered a Divine; He is just an avatar of the Wisdom God. Barely reaching the Fourth-tier, His power is probably even less than that of the ’Hunting God’.

Collecting his thoughts again, he reached out to hold the stone scripture. His eyes slowly closed as his spirit sunk into it.

DING...

A melodious, crisp bell sound came from nowhere, and invisible fluctuations quietly covered his Spiritual Inner Sea.

Carl’s eyelids twitched. He suddenly found himself in a hall possessing endless books.

He casually pulled out a book from the shelf beside him.

Mei Swordsmanship!

Hmm?

His gaze shifted slightly, and he pulled out another book.

Cross Sword Skill!

Shattering Step!

Flying Witchcraft Principles Explained!

Treatise on Lightning!

...

"All of this is knowledge I’ve mastered or encountered before. What use could this possibly have for me?"

His brow furrowed as he slowly opened Cross Sword Skill.

Instantly, many realizations regarding this sword technique surfaced in his mind, and some ’exquisite’ maneuvers appeared one by one.

But this was meaningless!

The Cross Sword Skill was nothing more than a Battle Skill, and a very common one at that.

If Carl wished, he could elevate the tier of this Battle Skill himself, but even if he did, so what?

It couldn’t compare to Holy Skills!

Nor could it compare to witchcraft!

SNAP!

Closing the book, Carl pondered thoughtfully.

"So the characteristic of the Divine Gift left by Bo Wen is to help one organize what one needs, accelerating the understanding of the Magic Doors one practices?"

"Wisdom..."

"I see!"

A certain realization quietly surfaced in his mind, most likely a hint from the Divine Gift, allowing him to understand instantly.

The Wisdom God has two avatars: Bo Wen and Wisdom Woman.

Wisdom and Ingenuity!

Wisdom represents intelligence.

Ingenuity represents cleverness.

The two are not the same.

Bo Wen, having perused Cultivation Techniques, could remember everything at a glance. With a bit of practice, he could skillfully execute and even master them. He gained something from all kinds of Magic Doors across the world. He even had some control over the authority mastered by the Gods. And he could integrate various Magic Doors he learned into one, evolving advanced Magic Doors.

Although Bo Wen is a Fourth-tier Divine, he is famed for mastering countless Magic Doors, an essential divine avatar of the Wisdom God.

But without other Magic Doors for reference, his understanding of any Cultivation Technique could never surpass its creator.

Even though he could use other Magic Doors to advance an existing Cultivation Technique, these advancements remain purely at a skills level, unable to break free from the original constraints.

Just like how Bo Wen mastered the ’power’ of the Gods, but all in a weakened version.

Wisdom Woman is different.

She cannot quickly master complex Magic Doors, nor does She comprehend many Cultivation Techniques, but Her importance surpasses that of Bo Wen.

Because...

She doesn’t need to observe others’ Magic Doors.

Walking on the earth, Wisdom Woman could perceive footwork; watching someone swim, She could discern how to control the water flow...

Bo Wen could learn from various schools and innovate, but ultimately, he is limited by himself, forever unable to break through.

Wisdom Woman, however, could ascend in one step.

Together, they represent the Fifth-Order Peak Wisdom God.

RUSTLING...

Pages turned rapidly. A thick book made Carl pause, various thoughts fluctuating.

Thousand Buddha Hands!

Thousand Buddha Hands encompasses all phenomena. Theoretically, it can integrate everything from the past. With the Divinity of Bo Wen, it should deepen my understanding of this Cultivation Technique.

As for other Magic Doors, even if thoroughly understood, they are not very useful.

His choice was correct.

When he opened a book, other related books within the hall would tremble.

Corresponding knowledge would also surge into his mind.

Different books caused different numbers of books to tremble.

Only the Thousand Buddha Hands...

The moment Carl touched it, all the books in the entire hall trembled without exception.

HUM!

As Carl’s consciousness immersed into the Thousand Buddha Hands, countless books flew up, transforming into streams of light and merging into it.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Carl slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the stone book in his hand, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

The Divinity of this Divine Gift had clearly been drained by him.

"I hope it doesn’t blame me..." he muttered softly. A smile also appeared on his face as he looked towards the data panel.

In the Cultivation Technique column, the original Thousand Buddha Hands had disappeared.

What replaced it was...

Ten Thousand Buddha Hands!

Name: Carl

Constitution: 22.6

spiritual power: 18.3

Source Material: 0.2

Level: Second-Order Holy Knight, First Circle Wizard

Abyss Bloodline Fusion: 53%

Holy Skills: Ten Thousand Buddha Hands, Holy Demon Transformation, Sky Wolf Illusion Demon Fist...

Witchcraft: Tidal Force, Thunder Wings, Thunder God’s Fury, Second Circle Magic—Water of Life...

"I’ve been an advanced Holy Knight for so long, yet not only has my Constitution value not increased, it has decreased by 0.1."

Carl shook his head wordlessly, "The pressure of the world’s rules is too great!"

Luckily, although his Constitution hadn’t increased, his spiritual power had made great strides, skyrocketing from the fourteen-point-something of the First Ring Middle Stage directly to 18.3. He was not far from the peak of the Late First Ring and might soon break through the boundary of the First Ring.

However, by then, he feared it would become even harder to stay in this world.

Not only had his spiritual power increased, but thanks to the insights from the Divine Gift, he had successfully constructed a Second Circle Magic while still in the First Ring. This achievement, even on the Wizard-rich Kaliem Continent, marked him as an outstanding figure.

"Carl, Divine Envoy."

Hardy approached, "The others have already arrived."

"Good."

Carl came back to his senses, "Let’s go see."

Several Divine Envoys gathered in the Void City Square.

Apart from the familiar faces of Hardy, Sam, and Yun San, there were also three envoys from other Void Cities.

The strengths of these six were among the best of the Divine Envoys.

In terms of power, even if not on par with Bo Wen, they were not far behind, possessing the strength to resist Nightmare-level evil entities.

"Good!"

Carl scanned the group and nodded slowly, "You all know what this journey is for—we need to clear out the evil entities near the Void City as much as possible. Especially the Nightmare-level evil entities. Even if we can’t kill them, we should try our best to drive them away. This way, more and more citizens of the Void Cities can migrate here, and we can extend the burning time of the Divine Fire."

"Yes!"

"We understand!"

...

The group nodded in agreement.

Some of them had intended to migrate their Void City over, hesitating only because of the dangers. Resolving the dangers on the road would allow them to confidently bring their people.

"We have many people and great power; the Nightmare-level evil entities shouldn’t be a big problem, unless it’s something like the Sin Stone Statues that come in swarms. The main concern out there is a Despair-level Fallen Angel."

Carl spoke, "It is quite troublesome."

The crowd’s expressions darkened.

Despair!

Those two words said it all.

Facing such an entity, numbers were useless. Its appearance often spelled doom for a Void City.

Even a place like Mujiu Void City, which had gathered several hundred thousand people and over a hundred Divine Envoys, found it difficult to eliminate Despair-level evil things.

Driving them away was already the best possible outcome.

"Don’t worry."

Carl smiled, "I didn’t have a good way to handle the Fallen Angel before, but fortunately, I’ve recently mastered a special Curios. Maybe it won’t kill it, but it should be enough to trap it."

Saying this, he took out several short rods and handed them to the people present.

"This Curios is called the Twelve Star Palaces. Originally, it consisted of twelve rods, but I have yet to fully comprehend the others. With these seven, each of us holding one, we can form a Formation. Once the Fallen Angel enters it, we can trap it in a fragment of space."
