The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 992 Testing Supernatural Powers

In the early morning, after a series of fierce battles, Su Xuanbing finally "lost" and adjusted her mindset, no longer trying to make Zhao Chen only have eyes for her.

"Sigh, I knew you were a womanizer, but I never imagined you were actually most compatible with the mindset of the 'Joyful' lineage. The so-called 'Dual Practice of Emptiness and Bliss' is truly embodied in you." Su Xuanbing leaned against Zhao Chen's chest and sighed, then clicked her tongue in amazement, "However, the 'Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True One' great divine power is truly wondrous. I bet that once you've experienced it, no female cultivator of a high-grade divine power in Xuantian could resist it... The beauty of the Great Dao, indeed worthy of being called 'The Beauty of the Great Dao'!"
"So your foundation is actually this great divine power originating from the Primordial Dao Lord."

Although it is rumored that the "Moon Thief Prince" in front of me had obtained the "Myriad Manifestations of the Universe" supernatural power in the Heart Realm Ruins of Xuancheng, and that he had recently obtained the "Tai Xiao Divine Mirror for Gazing at Heaven and Measuring Earth" with me in the Tai Xiao Secret Realm.

However, the latter two are not suitable as the foundation for spiritual practice.

Therefore, Su Xuanbing subconsciously regarded "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" as Zhao Chen's true foundation.

Moreover, this supernatural power is quite compatible with the methods of the "Joy" lineage.

"I can't fully control the 'Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True One' supernatural power yet. It can only eliminate and suppress the pollution and madness accumulated on your body, cleanse your soul, and restore its clarity so that it is not easily blinded by 'calamity'... As for truly revealing the 'beauty of the Great Dao,' I can't do that yet." After saying a few humble words, Zhao Chen turned to say, "However, it is indeed exceptionally effective for your 'Lotus Immortal Body'."

"Of course, although my family's 'Lotus Immortal Body' and the Zheng family's 'Evil Dragon Undying Body' have very different foundations, they are both great supernatural powers that will 'approach immortality' in the supernatural power stage and gradually lose their humanity."

"So after we both ascended to supernatural powers, we started to adhere to certain personalities or beliefs in our behavior... Well, she should be upholding 'justice,' while I was 'listening to gossip' everywhere, thus forming an imprint and anchoring myself to the part of myself that is 'human.'"

"Now that I think about it, it's no wonder I was so easily attracted to you and willing to give myself to you completely... It's what my body has always been craving!"
"Sigh, I suppose Zheng Qingyan is probably in a similar situation." Su Xuanbing savored the wonderful experience of "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones," and suddenly felt restless again.

"No, Qingyan's situation is different from yours." Zhao Chen thought to himself, but on the surface he smiled and asked, "You still have the energy to 'fight'?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanbing immediately deflated. She couldn't even stretch her body anymore, especially since the other party had used the "Binding Calamity Suppressing Ring" supernatural power at the last moment, which "distorted" her senses and left her mind blank for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

At that time, Su Xuanbing even felt that she was about to "lose control".

"Go soak in the pool. There are many precious materials in there, which will help you recover faster." Zhao Chen pointed to the bathing pool not far away, which was the one that had initially tested him in the 'Chess of the Jade Pool' secret realm.

"Carry me over there," Su Xuanbing said coquettishly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

The valiant female general's posture was naturally incredibly alluring, and Zhao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, slip his left hand under her knees, and lift her directly into the pool.

Thump~
The water rippled outwards, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

However, Zhao Chen did not want to continue watching. After all, "defeating" a martial artist of the same realm was not easy for him either, and he had been in a state of "emptiness of all four elements" for a short time.

This state is an ideal time to comprehend the laws inherent in one's own supernatural powers.

So Zhao Chen summoned Yao Ji and asked her to create a separate "game" space for him, then jumped straight into it.

The game space is quite spacious, about the size of a medium-sized city, and contains various types of "targets".

The reason Zhao Chen created this "game space" was to test and study the eight supernatural powers he had forged.

"First is the 'Binding Calamity Suppressing Ring,' a divine power that was just used on Xuanbing. It currently has two effects, both of which are quite remarkable."

"Firstly, once the 'halo' is activated, I can 'interfere' with some of the laws of heaven and earth within this range, and even 'distort' them to a certain extent."

"The sudden 'amplification' of Xuanbing's senses was an application of this effect... Of course, this was due to the surprise attack, and Xuanbing was not prepared for me, which is why there was such a great 'result'. It may not be successful next time."

"Secondly, I can formulate a temporary rule within the 'halo' range."

"The more specific and detailed the rules are, the stronger their effectiveness; conversely, they will be less effective if they are not detailed and detailed."

"For example, if I were to directly set a rule that 'cannot use supernatural powers,' it would be of little use. But if I were to specify that 'Su Xuanbing cannot use the 'Three Heads and Six Arms' supernatural power within a quarter of an hour,' it would at least make her feel sluggish when casting the spell, and there would be a high probability that the supernatural power would fail to activate."

"These two effects are what I can currently use. If I want to further develop its power, I need to comprehend the corresponding laws of heaven and earth, form my own 'principle,' and then let the 'law and principle' intertwine and merge into supernatural powers..."

While pondering, Zhao Chen had already unleashed this second-grade divine power, enveloping several divine power realm puppets that served as "targets".

— Inside the secret realm of "Yaochi Chess", with the authority of "Yaoji", it is even possible to create beings at the "Dongxuan" level, but at present, it cannot be recognized by Xuantian and cannot be brought into Xuantian's territory.

Those puppets were modeled after Western wizards; their Morning Star magic was quite impressive, but their bodies were extremely weak.

Once they entered the "halo" range, Zhao Chen immediately "prohibited" their rapid movement spells. Then, he pressed forward and easily crushed the puppets with his powerful physique, comparable to that of a martial arts cultivator.

"As expected, although the 'halo' has a small range, it is a good partner for martial arts practitioners. With this supernatural power, maybe my next disguise can be a 'martial arts supernatural power'?"

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen turned his attention to several supernatural-level demonic beasts on the other side, using them to experiment with another second-grade supernatural ability, "Heavenly Demon Formless".

Strictly speaking, "Heavenly Demon Formless" is a "collective" supernatural power. So for a moment, Yin Demon, Bone Demon, Blood Demon, and Heavenly Demon supernatural powers flew around in a chaotic manner, and demonic energy permeated the air. The monsters that served as "targets" screamed in agony and were extremely miserable.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was also engulfed in demonic flames, truly like an old demon descending.

"As expected, the Blood Demon, Yin Demon, and Bone Demon supernatural powers obtained from the Worry-Free Cave Heaven can be used as long as they are of the second rank or below, but the demonic supernatural powers obtained from Xuan Tian whose source is not the 'Demon Cloud' True Monarch cannot be used."

"As for the Heavenly Demon Divine Power, it's not much different... except for one divine power, which is the 'Demon Cloud Cosmic Light' great divine power!"
"Although this divine power is only of the first rank, it can be used by 'Heavenly Demon Without Form,' but the effect will be reduced... This is also the only first-rank great divine power that 'Heavenly Demon Without Form' can simulate."

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment, then extended his left hand towards the demon beast that had been cleaved to death by the "Blood-Transforming Divine Blade" and gently clenched it. The next moment, countless pieces of flesh and blood reassembled into the outline of the demon beast, but it still couldn't restore itself to its appearance when it was alive.

"It can probably only turn back time by one second, and the range is very small..." Although the effect was less than satisfactory, Zhao Chen was still in a pretty good mood. After all, even if it could only turn back time by one second, it was still a life-saving skill in critical moments.

"Next up is the 'Sky-Gazing and Earth-Measuring Divine Mirror'... Hmm, I actually tested this divine ability before I ascended to the heavens and before undergoing the 'Ascension Tribulation'."

"It truly lives up to its ability to 'see through the heavens and measure the earth,' capable of calculating almost all 'supernatural' level information about the past, present, and future. It can even glimpse some 'profound' intelligence, though its precision and accuracy are somewhat lacking..."

"However, this supernatural power seems to be taboo by 'Xuantian', and can only be used once a day; exceeding this limit will bring calamity."

The reason Zhao Chen chose to directly undergo the "Ascension Tribulation" and cross the first ladder was because he used the "Sky-Gazing and Earth-Measuring Divine Mirror" to calculate the most favorable development.

Otherwise, he would probably still be being followed by some people with ulterior motives, and he wouldn't be enjoying such a comfortable life now.

Since there was only one free calculation opportunity per day, Zhao Chen did not use it rashly again, but instead activated the great supernatural power "All Things in the Universe" which originated from the Star God.

"This supernatural power has three effects, namely, the so-called 'power of all things,' 'transformation of all things,' and 'creation of the true world.'"

"'Universal Power' can simulate most of the supernatural powers and spells that one has seen or learned, but its power is not as great as the original."

"The 'Wanliu Zhuanzhuan' (万流转) means that one can absorb other people's supernatural powers and then return them at the appropriate time."

"'True Realm Creation' can conjure up magical abilities that only exist in legends or myths out of thin air, the specific power of which depends on the depth and breadth of the stories' popularity..."

"Finally, the combination of these three effects creates the true 'All Things Under Heaven,' which can directly create people or things from legends or myths, and even go further to create other-dimensional worlds that carry legends or myths!"
"I can't use the three-in-one effect right now, but I can use the connection between 'All Things in the World' and other dimensions to bring the characters I want out of the existing other-dimensional world through that 'Gate of Other Dimensions'..."

In fact, when Zhao Chen was using the "Myriad Manifestations" divine power, he was already able to sense many low-dimensional otherworldly worlds belonging to Xuan Tian. These worlds were basically born from stories that were widely circulated in Xuan Tian.

However, these other-dimensional worlds are incomplete, and their laws are extremely fragmented and chaotic. The people or things inside are essentially similar to those created by the "Chess of Yaochi," making it difficult for them to gain Xuan Tian's approval.

It may exist briefly in the Xuan Tian Heaven, but it will inevitably perish quickly.

This is nowhere near comparable to the original projection world within the Taixiao Secret Realm.

"Perhaps, that other dimension is a story 'created' by people of a higher dimension than Xuan Tian?" Zhao Chen pondered, while using the "power of all things" of "All Things" to test the supernatural powers and spells he had learned from the "Thief's Gate", "Military", "Xin Guang Temple", and "Four Fiends Hall". After using them, he collected and stored them away using "All Things Circulation".

"Tsk, the ability to transfer all things can actually fail, and the failure rate isn't low. But with the 'Great Sun Star Chariot' as an aid, as long as I'm willing to spend star coins, I can increase the success rate to one hundred percent..."

"Speaking of which, 'All Things Under Heaven' and 'Golden Chest Five Keys' are quite similar. Both can store other people's magic and supernatural powers. However, the latter can peer into hidden spaces, while the former can explore lower-dimensional other dimensions."

Because the "Golden Chest Five-Key" currently contains a "wish" granted by an entity named "Klein," it is temporarily unusable. Without a comparison, Zhao Chen can only continue to experiment with other supernatural abilities.

"'Demon King's Binding' is a powerful sealing technique of the Kunlun Zicuifang lineage. It is said to be able to subdue all the demons in the heavens. Even the Demon Cloud True Lord had to 'submit and respect in his heart, and obey his words' under this technique of Zhao Taizu."

"This supernatural power is particularly effective against certain demons and cultivators who practice demonic techniques. It is also very effective against demonic paths and can even seal enemies one level higher."

"In other words, if I am well prepared and the target is not vigilant enough, it is possible to seal a demon at the 'Dharma Aspect' level into a suitable vessel..."

"Of course, the best container is actually the inner world of the user of the 'Demon King Binding Body' supernatural power, but sealing the demon with one's body is extremely dangerous."

"Tsk, but if this is combined with my 'Great Sun Star Raft,' the effect is practically like tying a 'piglet' onto the ship!"

"This supernatural power was the right choice!"
"Although no 'Dongxuan' would obediently let 'Demon King's Binding' hit them... what if they encounter a fool?"

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that maybe he could try finding an unlucky guy who was in a bad state.

"'Starry Night' is a great supernatural power of the Kunlun Jade Pavilion lineage, known as the general outline of all formations in the world."

"It is not a specific type of formation, but it can enhance the power of the formations and restrictions you have mastered, and it is also the nemesis of all formations."

"In other words, the enemy has painstakingly set up a grand formation, but as long as I touch it with 'Starry Night Stop', the formation will be mine... well, at least I can get a certain degree of control."

"Similar to 'Demon King's Binding,' this supernatural power can only be effective one level above, and can restrain some 'Dongxuan' level formations and restrictions."

"Furthermore, due to the contamination of the Empress's power, this supernatural ability can also utilize the Empress's vital energy within me to achieve another effect—making living beings pregnant."

"Moreover, this effect has a very high priority. Even the 'Dongxuan' formation may be able to resist other controls of 'Xingxiu Tingguan', but this buff is irresistible."

As Zhao Chen thought this, he casually set up a magical array, luring some of the puppets, which were being used as "targets," into it. He then saw their bellies visibly grow larger.

"For regular cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty, this effect can only be considered rather 'insidious,' but the actual impact is not significant. After all, cultivators with supernatural powers have many ways to 'abort,' but it is not so friendly to Western sorcerers."

"The newly conceived child may very well take away their source of power!"
"Yes, those clones or avatars made from rare and precious treasures or similar items are also quite afraid of this."
