The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 454 Early Warning Divine Power

"We need to remain calm and avoid making a scene."

Wang Wu silently admonished himself, because this gain was truly an epic leap forward, and he was afraid of becoming complacent.

"The twenty-fifth Vermilion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle should be secured. So there's no rush. I need to figure out a way to deal with the aftermath. Because of this change, if I go back, unless I hide in the Three-Defense Armor all day, the Bear King Shoumiao will know at a glance that I have the Bloodless Curse Heavenly Punishment on me."

"What's more, there's that Gray Eye guy who's eyeing my Hidden Dragon Tendon. Maybe other old prisoners have the same idea."

Thinking of this, Wang Wu first checked his three-defense armor and found that its durability had dropped to 42%. The surge of his qi and blood just now was absolutely terrifying, no less than a full-force attack and continuous whipping for several hours. Some damage was inevitable.

Fortunately, Qingxue had prepared a brand new three-proof armor for him in advance.

Next, he quickly replaced the three-defense armor with a new one inside the three-defense armor, and then quickly entered a meditative state to conduct a comprehensive and careful examination of his three foundation-building formations, both innate and acquired. This naturally included consolidating his realm, comprehending and mastering his new talents, and adjusting and regulating the overall situation.

Just like checking for omissions and errors, such as typos and punctuation, this process is indispensable and cannot be faked.

"I suggest you upgrade your passive stealth talent to level 27 as soon as possible to perfect your forgetting ability. Only with this ability can you be exempt from Elder Gray's divine calculations. Don't forget, you really are carrying a murder charge."

The four clowns also cautiously and prudently offered their suggestions.

Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the most urgent matter. If one day Old Gray suddenly gets the urge to cast a divination, and his divine calculations activate, directly targeting Wang Wu, then we're in big trouble.

So he himself really wanted that.

However, after using his level 19 spiritual insight to observe, he found himself in a bit of a predicament.

Because the cost of upgrading is quite high.

Currently at level 25, to reach level 26, you need to spend 300 million points to refine your Qi and Blood to level 4.

This level is still within acceptable limits.

However, if you want to upgrade to level 27, the increase is precipitous, perhaps because it has reached the limit, requiring 1500 million level 4 health points.

It takes the equivalent of 1.2 billion points of regular Qi and blood to refine and compress.

Only by selling Wang Wu's current assets could we possibly raise enough money.

So, the idea is great, but it's too difficult to implement.

"Then how about continuing to upgrade the demon core?" The four clowns offered another terrible idea, partly because their vision had already reached a new level, and they thought that continuing to upgrade the demon core would be easy.

"No, a Grade One Demon Core is the current limit. To improve it further, you need a Creation Demon Core, which is much more difficult to improve."

"So, I want to try a different approach."

After pondering for a moment, Wang Wu focused his attention on the danger perception. This bloodline talent was originally inscribed with a demon core, but he later erased it and used it to inscribe the Overlord Body Divine Power.

So far, even including the Wolf's Gaze ability given to him by General Snow Wolf, his danger perception is still 22+1. Therefore, for a long time, this talent has been almost relegated to the sidelines and has little presence.

Why? Because Wang Wu has only come into contact with Taiyi True Immortals, which is something that a mere level 23 danger perception can predict.
I could never do it, not even if I killed myself or worked myself to death.

So what if we also upgrade the Danger Perception bloodline talent to level 25?

"Absolutely not! You don't want to become the second Five Poisons, do you? Don't forget, you also have the bloodline of the Azure Dragon Clan, the so-called Hidden Dragon Tendon in your body. Once you develop the ability of precognition, it's like turning into a firefly in the night, afraid that the giant crocodiles hiding in the dark forest won't be able to find you?"

The four clowns vehemently opposed it.

"No, you don't understand. My level 25 danger perception is different from that of the Five Poisons. The Five Poisons' is at most incomplete. Their strength is too weak, so they can't supply such a powerful bloodline talent. That's why they are like children carrying gold through a bustling market."

"On the contrary, my current strength is enough to sustain it."

Wang Wu explained casually that he was also giving the four clowns a lesson, because with the level 19 Spiritual Enlightenment, many things that were once confusing or overlooked could now be clearly seen.

"For example, you've always wondered why both human and demon immortals are called Taiyi True Immortals, and why they all use level 27 as the limit of their supernatural powers. There's a reason for this."

"In the past, we were like looking at flowers through fog, or seeing a leopard through a tube, only having a superficial understanding and unable to understand clearly. Now I can tell you directly. Judging from the Five Poisons' level 25 precognitive supernatural power, this is an abnormal bloodline supernatural power that exceeds the upper limit. Normally, the level 25 bloodline supernatural power should correspond to the first level of Taiyi True Immortal."

"Levels 18 to 24 correspond to the first to ninth ranks of Earth Immortals."

"That's how the Five Poisons died."

"So, this is why, even though my attribute data is significantly behind, I can often perform at a level three to five tiers higher."

"Even now, according to your data, I am still at the seventh level of Earth Immortal, but in reality, because I have already cultivated a ninth-grade Creation Fire Spirit Pill, I can catch up with Xiong Wangshou in terms of bloodline evolution."

"But this doesn't mean I can beat him; it just means my potential for future growth has caught up with his."

"Therefore, by raising my danger perception to level 25, I am no longer so passive, and I can even choose the effect of my supernatural power."

"Then how do you explain your level 19 spiritual essence?" the four clowns asked. They had long since lost track of and control over this bloodline talent, and could only give a vague description.

"Because this is an anomaly! It's an anomaly born from the collision of the blood of the ancient bear and the blood of the Azure Dragon, also known as the Hidden Dragon Tendon. The reason it's called Hidden is because it doesn't actually exist; it's invisible. It exists within the bloodline, but because it does have such an effect, it's called the Hidden Dragon Tendon." "So if I really get captured by Gray Eye, he'll most likely refine me into some kind of special elixir, and then, after consuming it, he'll basically gain my ability to detect spiritual essence. Of course, all of the above is just my guess."

"In addition, my spiritual essence currently has three modes. One is the normal mode, which is the one you understand."

"One is the microscopic mode, which consumes little energy but can basically maintain the maximum effect of level 18 spiritual essence detection."

"The last one is the detection mode, which consumes a lot of energy. Entering the detection state requires at least five strands of divine sense, but once the detection is successful, I think I should be able to kill half of Bai Yu instantly."

The four clowns remained silent and did not ask again why it was only half a white feather.

Because Bai Yu is a standard Taiyi second-level True Immortal.

So there's no why.

Meanwhile, Wang Wu began to upgrade his Danger Perception talent. The process was simple; he only needed 100,000 points of level 4 Refined Qi and Blood to successfully raise it to level 24.

Next, by consuming only 500,000 points of level 4 refined blood energy, it was upgraded to level 25.

The feeling at this moment is very subtle.

Speaking of which, Wang Wu had also temporarily raised his danger perception to level 25, or even level 25.5, under the combined effect of various buffs.

At that time, he felt it was very dangerous.

But looking back now, it's like when I was 13 and saw a used condom in a corner of a park—my heart raced, I felt guilty, or I was filled with dread, as if I had opened a mysterious and evil door...

At this moment, under Wang Wu's state of profound spiritual insight, his level 25 danger perception talent is like a crossroads, offering three possible directions to choose from.

One is to follow the original direction, which is purely based on the sense of danger. This is also closer to the Mangshan Ancient Bear series and belongs to the orthodox assassin ancient bear.

One path is to follow the direction of the Azure Dragon Clan, which is the path of the mottled precognitive supernatural power, also known as the path once taken by the Five Poisons, belonging to the unorthodox shaman Gu Xiong...

The last one was even more obscure. Wang Wu spent a long time analyzing it before he figured it out. Wasn't this somewhat similar to bullet time? It was also a kind of precognition, able to predict the opponent's moves a split second before they made a move. So, could this be considered predicting Gu Xiong?

In short, all three roads look good.

But Wang Wu eliminated the first one who predicted, this sequence should be more suitable for those who take unconventional approaches and engage in endless battles, who can predict in an instant and reverse the situation endlessly.

He also quite enjoyed such intense battles, but he knew even better that playing it safe was his strategy. In the current cultivation world, the waters were too deep, and he had to be careful to lie low and avoid conflict. He could not make a move unless absolutely necessary, so he chose the path of striking after the enemy had acted.

This has led him to develop a very strong foundation for tolerance of mistakes.

"Even if we can foresee it, it won't work. We should learn from the mistakes of the Five Poisons, or even from the mistakes of Old Gray."

"So, let's stick to the original path and become the assassin Gu Xiong."

Wang Wu quickly made a choice, but this time he needed 100 million points of level 4 refined Qi and Blood.

Without saying a word, he took out the small cauldron of spiritual liquid that Qingxue had given him and drank it all in one gulp.

Not much, just a hundred million points of regular spiritual energy.

Not to mention now, even in the past it didn't mean anything to him.

The Qi and blood surged, the spiritual energy was transformed into Qi and blood, and then refined into level 4 Qi and blood. In just one hour, 100 million points of level 4 Qi and blood were refined, which was just enough.

Next, the level 25 danger perception did not upgrade, but it did awaken a more acute, powerful, and higher-ranking prototype of a divine ability.

After some thought, Wang Wu defined it as a premonition divine power.

In this way, it can be considered as distinguishing it from prediction and forecasting.

If we break it down further, we can call it Level 1 early warning superpower, with Level 3 being the highest.

Similarly, the Forgetting Divine Power can also be called the Level 1 Forgetting Divine Power.

It doesn't have any special meaning.

At this moment, Wang Wu simultaneously activated level 25 passive stealth and level 25 danger perception. This was necessary, as both forgetfulness and early warning required such a prerequisite state to be activated.

The two bloodline innate abilities do not interfere with each other; on the contrary, they complement each other.

In particular, the mutual bonuses between Level 1 Forgetting and Level 1 Warning are significant. Wang Wu estimated that after activating Level 1 Warning, the immunity effect of Level 1 Forgetting could be increased from the current 20% to 25%.

Conversely, Level 1 forgetting can also increase the effectiveness of Level 1 warning by 25%, truly a two-way approach.

No, this should be the system bonus brought by the lineage of bloodline.

To be honest, level 1 Forgetfulness is actually a bit off-the-beaten-path. Otherwise, if you had chosen the passive Concealment option, the bonus might have been even higher.
