Seven-colored light surged in the sky above the South City, and divine lightning intertwined above the clouds. The spiritual light emanating from the Golden Gate became exceptionally intense at this moment, and everyone in the South City could feel the unique rhythm of the city.
"The only cultivation technique has appeared!"
Whether they were locals or outsiders, everyone was looking up at the sky. They knew that the lucky one who had obtained the unique cultivation technique was beginning to create his own.
"A strange phenomenon has appeared in the sky, but for whom is this phenomenon created?"
Everyone was waiting, because the vision would guide them to find the lucky one.
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their body.
Behind every opportunity lies a multitude of crises.
But after waiting for a long time, the guidance from the strange phenomenon still did not appear, which made the people who were waiting in an uproar.
"That's impossible! Last time, that guy from Yuncheng was enveloped in white light, and you could see him from far away. This time, the scale is so huge, there must be some kind of guidance!"
An adventurer from another city, who had experienced the art of robbery, frowned as he looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
"What if it's not time yet?" someone asked.
"No, a pillar of light descends when the anomaly occurs; this is the rule of the Golden Gate!" the adventurer shook his head.
"Wait a little longer!"
Inside the headquarters of Gantian on the other side.
"Twenty-four hours have passed!" Jiang Yuan was extremely anxious. His spiritual awakening time had far exceeded his expectations, and he still didn't know Ning Yanlan's condition.
"I hope you're just going to return the USB drive!" Jiang Yuan could only guess at the best possible outcome. Although he saw Leng Yue's hatred for the Nancheng warlord, he still hoped that the others could survive. Only by living could there be hope.
He searched the entire research institute, but couldn't find the switch to the Gan Tian headquarters. Come to think of it, since Ning Yanlan had left him here, she must have made preparations beforehand. He couldn't leave until his cultivation technique was fully adapted.
"I refuse to believe this! It's just a stone door, I can't break it open!" Jiang Yuan angrily walked to the stone door. "Let's test my strength first!"
The moment Jiang Yuan clenched his fist, his expression turned strange. "What's this?"
He opened his palm and suddenly discovered a mysterious power surging within his body.
"The Blood Shackles? They're open!" Jiang Yuan looked utterly bewildered, but he hadn't even practiced any ancient martial arts.
"Could it be the effect of the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique?"
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized something. Before, the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique only left him with an empty shell, but now it was different. He possessed a bit of divine power, which was enough to cause a qualitative change.
Moreover, through his experience studying the Divine Wood Canon, Jiang Yuan discovered that the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique and ancient martial arts are very similar, but there are still differences between the two.
In layman's terms, the Great Wilderness Body Forging Technique is an external martial art, while the Divine Wood Canon is an internal martial art. Although both are primarily focused on cultivating the physical body, they do not conflict with each other.
"Never mind, let's throw a punch first!" Jiang Yuan put on the dog paw gauntlets. The first-tier ones he used to have were no good now, but since he had no other treasures, he could only try these out first.
"Wait, I still have a second-tier Berserk!"
Jiang Yuan took out a skill orb from his storage ring. It was the second-tier berserk skill he had used before. He couldn't use it before because his level wasn't high enough, but now that he was nominally at the fourth tier, he could use not only the second-tier berserk skill but also the fourth-tier berserk skill.
"use!"
The skill orb transformed into a burst of white light and entered Jiang Yuan's body, naturally overwriting the previous first-tier berserk state, while the information about the second-tier berserk state also entered Jiang Yuan's mind.
"Second-Tier Berserk, Level: Excellent, increases power by ten points upon activation, lasts for five minutes! Duration can be increased with proficiency!"
Note: Only one amplification skill can be active at a time.
Jiang Yuan had already estimated the Berserk attribute, and it was just as he had imagined. As for the hints behind the Heavenly Eye, he knew that without even thinking about it.
Once you use Berserk, it cannot be stacked with other amplification skills. Even if you use several amplification skills, the amplification value will be the strongest one.
"Open it for me!"
Jiang Yuan threw a punch, but to everyone's embarrassment, the stone gate didn't budge.
"What the hell is this rock? My punch had the force of over a thousand pounds! Can't you at least move a little to show me some respect?" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
"The quartz stone is mixed with a trace amount of spiritual energy, which makes it much harder than ordinary quartz stone."
The Sky Eye immediately answered Jiang Yuan's question.
"How could the headquarters of the Heavenly Realm have such a stone? Logically speaking, this research institute should have existed before the cataclysm, but where did the spiritual power come from back then?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.
This time, the Heavenly Eye did not provide him with an answer. As he gazed at the core and the Holy Spirit Stone within his storage ring, an urge to open the treasure arose within him.
"Now we can only hope that we can find some good treasures in the core!" Jiang Yuan emptied the contents of his storage ring and began to check the extra items he had acquired after the activation.
First and foremost is the divine skill of the Heavenly Eye.
"Unique divine skill: Heavenly Eye, unlocks functions: identification, detection, and treasure location."
"Activating the treasure hunt location requires energy. If your own energy is insufficient, you can use Holy Spirit Stones as a substitute. The energy consumption depends on the rarity of the target."
"It consumes energy?" Jiang Yuan frowned. He thought it would be like the previous three times, something he could use right away.
Ignoring the Heavenly Eye for the moment, he moved on to the next one: the new talent added after the Spirit Awakening.
Talent is something that depends on individual opportunities. He has met quite a few people in the past few days, but no more than ten of them possess talent. On the contrary, those monsters have all sorts of ordinary talents.
It all depends on the creature itself. Use it or lose it. Like an ordinary cow, its talents are either butting or charging; or like a venomous snake, it relies on its venom. Humans, on the other hand, are clearly more versatile. Specialized talents are difficult to develop, and as for latent talents, that's entirely a matter of luck.
Everyone starts from the same point; no one knows whether someone has talent or not.
"The Hand of Death: When Death descends upon the earth, it always takes something from the dead."
"Mark of the Dead: Zero. Talent Cap: Three."
"What does this mean?" Jiang Yuan had no idea what the purpose of the Grim Reaper's Hand was.
"Why don't we give it a try!"
Jiang Yuan silently activated the mysterious power that had just been born within his body. Suddenly, the entire space turned gray in his eyes, and a prompt from his Heavenly Eye immediately appeared.
"Unable to select a mark of the dead. Please confirm whether the mark of the dead exists!"
"Depth detection!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the Heavenly Eye did not react immediately. Suddenly, Jiang Yuan felt that a little bit of divine energy in his body was gone. This was not the end of it. Then, several Holy Spirit Stones in his storage ring were also missing.
"What's going on? Does detection require so much energy?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled. He knew that detection required energy, but this was the first time he had ever drained all his energy. In the past, a little bit of physical strength was enough for deep detection, but this time he had also absorbed a lot of Holy Spirit Stones.
"Mark of the Dead: This is the last trace left on earth by the dead who have passed through the hands of Death. In return, the dead will contribute an ability they had before birth to Death."
