From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 204 Nine Great Divine Powers

You Ming's enormous Dharma form floated silently above the entire Yuanling Mountain. Although in the eyes of cultivators, his towering Dharma form exuded an astonishing aura that made people tremble with fear.

However, the slight movement of his scales refracted light, making his body blend into the surrounding void, making it difficult for mortals to see him.

At this moment, he was not immersed in the ecstasy of success. Instead, he closed his eyes and focused his mind, sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness once again, slowly resonating with this Dharma image, sensing every change and feedback within it.

He needs to recognize his own Dharma form, because the Dharma form is an extension of his will and instincts, and also the crystallization of his previous practice.

As his understanding deepened, Youming vaguely sensed that within the Dharma form lay extremely unique structures, distributed on the torso, between the eyebrows, hands, feet, chest, and the end of the tail fin.

These structures, like tiny, almost imperceptible grooves, totaling nine, perfectly complemented his vital energy flow, as if crafted by divine intervention.

You Ming understood that this place was used to embed supernatural powers.

The nine indentations represent the nine supernatural powers.

Therefore, he named his Dharma image "Nine-Ring Divine Mechanism Dharma Image".

After a cultivator condenses their [Dharma Form], the next task is to cultivate supernatural abilities upon that Dharma Form. Depending on their individual potential, they can typically cultivate between three and nine supernatural abilities.

The specific potential is basically determined at the moment of condensing the Dharma form; most cultivators can condense about five.

Those who seem capable of condensing the potential of nine supernatural powers are naturally the most outstanding Dharma forms.

Of course, potential is potential, but it takes a lot of effort to condense supernatural powers.

Even for a genius, cultivating supernatural powers requires a long time and a great deal of resources. If one were to gradually condense nine supernatural powers, it would probably take hundreds of years.

Moreover, if you want to go further, these supernatural powers should ideally be interconnected and complement each other. By selecting, evolving, and integrating these supernatural powers, you can build a self-consistent supernatural power system that operates as precisely as a star map.

It's best to have the support of a major sect or powerful force at this stage, because major forces already have different systems for constructing supernatural abilities, which are the most efficient methods explored by countless predecessors.

But some geniuses choose to build their own supernatural powers.

After all, everyone's Dharma is different, and using a universal approach is never as good as a system tailored to oneself.

This also gives us a glimpse into the difficulty of cultivation. Although achieving the [Dharma Form] grants one a lifespan of three thousand years, for many cultivators, time is still not enough.

Of course, even though You Ming's nine divine abilities have not yet been fully realized, his entire Dharma form is already operating on its own and still possesses power far exceeding the level of the [Yin God].

You Ming carefully sensed the various Daoist principles within his body, gradually becoming familiar with his various abilities.

This Dharma form can be initially divided into four abilities.

The first capability: information recognition and computation of all phenomena.

Once Youming releases his Dharma form, his eyes blaze with light, allowing him to discern the operational logic of the enemy's supernatural powers and spells, anticipate the possible consequences of their techniques, and deduce countermeasures in advance.

This ability is somewhat similar to his cheat code, [Battle Vision].

The second ability: psionic control, automatic adaptation.

Because his Dharma form is essentially composed of countless components, it can change at any time according to the changes in the surrounding environment and form, and can automatically adjust the priority of spiritual energy allocation according to the enemy's or friend's situation.

For example, when faced with an explosive attack, the spiritual lines on the body will automatically contract to strengthen the defense; when facing a protracted war, the energy circulation frequency between spiritual roots will be reconstructed to circulate at the optimal efficiency.

It can also switch to modes such as "Enhanced Perception" and "Speed ​​Burst" at any time.

The third ability is the self-generating of the Dharma Domain, which condenses into a realm. Layers of floating light and light membranes constantly emerge around its Dharma form. These are not decorations, but rather numerous inherent effects, such as spell interference and mental intimidation, similar to passive skills.

These numerous passive effects, when combined, form a field of radiation around him. When an enemy approaches, if their will is not strong enough, they will be disturbed and may even be trapped within it, never able to escape.

This ability is best suited for crowd control and dominating weaker opponents.

As for the fourth ability, it is called body differentiation and group configuration.

His Dharma form is itself pieced together, so it can naturally break apart at any time and transform into countless smaller bodies. These bodies can communicate with each other and attack in unison.

Alternatively, the main body can be preserved, while a portion is launched.

Just like the previous [Mirage], his main consciousness was stationed at the core, constantly releasing various flying swords and warriors to bombard the enemy in groups.

"Crash."

As he gained complete control over the new Dharma form, suddenly, the enormous Dharma form suspended in the sky began to roll, and then all its structures continued to shrink inward, its form also shrinking.

In an instant, it transformed into a mermaid with a body size similar to that of an ordinary person.

At first glance, it looks no different from the previous Yin spirits.

In reality, not only has its body become much more solid, but its agility of energy and abundance of magical power are far beyond what the previous illusory Yin spirit could compare to.

With You Ming withdrawing his Dharma form, the boiling spiritual energy within a thousand miles finally subsided.

But it left a deep impression on many gods and cultivators.

Because Bingzhou is a remote and low-lying area, there are very few powerful sects. Take Tai'an Prefecture for example, there used to be only one sect called Mingyue Temple, but its most powerful master was only at the Yin God level.

Now that You Ming has stepped into the [Dharma Aspect] level, even though he is still a minor eighth-rank deity, at least at the prefecture level, he has the qualifications to be on par with the prefecture's city god.

Many cultivators envied and were jealous of You Ming's achievement of the [Dharma Form], but for that [Lady Zhaoyun Siyuan], it was fear.

Previously, with the help of her senior brother, she successfully became the nominal highest-ranking deity for granting children and protecting the environment in Changning County. After Changning County was upgraded to a prefecture, she was also successfully assigned a county seat.

Although the population is much smaller than that of Changning County before, she is still very satisfied.

She was especially pleased when she learned that You Ming had offended the City God and ultimately did not receive any more territory.

But now, she felt uneasy.

The Dharma Aspect level—that's what a great cultivator does!

She was a cultivator in her previous life, so she naturally knew the power and strength of this level.

Moreover, the other party is a Heavenly Official, which makes her unable to even think about competing in any aspect.

Her biggest worry is that the other party will bring up past grievances, which would probably make her life very difficult.

Of course, at this moment, You Ming was in no mood to care what a local minor deity thought; he had many more things to attend to.

For example... constructing a grotto-heaven.

His Dharma form has been completed, and his magical power is extremely abundant. After a few days, when the Golden Boy God Lord delivers all the materials, he will be able to build his own blessed land.
