From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 291 The Power of Divine Abilities

"But... do you think you can escape?"

You Ming stood suspended high above, a smile flashing across his face. He stretched out a finger and gently tapped it in the void.

Ripples spread across the calm void, like a dream.

The ripples were extremely light and faint, yet they spread extremely far and quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it spread for hundreds of miles.

You Ming's consciousness also spread along with these ripples, as if in an instant his divine sense expanded and permeated in all directions.

"Is there water?"

The fleeing alien gods were suddenly startled, as if they felt a misty breeze blowing towards them.

The next moment, the surrounding space trembled slightly, as if some kind of viscous force was generated in the air.

Then the entire void seemed to transform into a peaceful, viscous, warm yet suffocating flow of water.

Once the water seeped through them, all the alien gods felt their divine power sluggish, their bodies seemed to be enveloped, and even their minds felt like they were sinking into soft mud.

How can I describe this feeling?

It's like a bright spring afternoon, with gentle sunlight enveloping you as you're in class.

The teacher is lecturing at the front, but no matter how hard you try to keep your eyes open, drowsiness always lingers.

You feel tired and uncomfortable, but no matter what you do, your body seems to become numb, and you can't hear a single word the teacher says.

These alien gods were terrified.

They tried to escape, but even though they had mobilized their divine power, it just kept circulating within their bodies. Their consciousness became increasingly numb and drowsy, occasionally clearing up for a moment, but then becoming sluggish again.

You Ming stood in the void, his whole being like a stone falling into a deep pool, ripples spreading outwards along his body.

These alien gods were too weak; the ripples were like the fine threads spun by a spider.

Layer upon layer, circle upon circle, they are covered, and they can never escape.

"receive."

With a gentle pull of his finger, You Ming caused the surrounding ripples to tighten instantly!

The movements of those alien gods were frozen in an instant. Their bodies were not injured, but all their consciousness was trapped, like a fetus sinking into its mother's womb, peaceful but unable to move.

It was a kind of immersive feeling, though not intense, that originated from the earliest stages of life—soft, warm, yet irresistible.

"Therefore, this new supernatural power, Dream Breath Lock, probably has three abilities."

As You Ming looked at these motionless, seemingly dead, alien gods, he became increasingly familiar with this supernatural power.

Ability 1 [Soft Binding]: The resulting ripple chains can wrap around the enemy, slowing their movements and eventually trapping them as the binding continues.

Ability Two [Lock] restricts the opponent's magic power, divine power, demonic power, and all other extraordinary powers. The extent to which it restricts depends on the opponent's strength.

Ability 3 [Dream Penetration]: If the enemy's consciousness is not as strong as Youming's, there is a high probability that they will fall into a dream state, like an infant in the womb, and in severe cases, they will fall into a deep sleep.

Overall, this supernatural power is very strong.

The extent of its power depends primarily on the degree of Yu Ming's own willpower.

Under normal circumstances, with a comprehension level of 5 and the blessing of the [Breaking Illusion Sword Chapter], most cultivators of the same level would not dare to directly confront this divine power of his.

If he were to use the [Pulse Regulation] technique to increase his willpower, the power of this supernatural ability would probably be even stronger than before.

……

You Ming practiced the [Dream Breath Lock] technique several more times. The nearby alien gods were all covered by layers of water vapor, as if they were eternally trapped in a dream. To be fair, this divine power was even more advantageous when dealing with gods.

Deities, relying on their divine positions, are extremely difficult to kill; they can be resurrected as long as there is incense and sacrifice.

However, if their will is sealed off for a long time, leaving them in a state between life and death, their faith will likely be broken over time, and they will be forgotten in the process of being sealed off.

Therefore, after You Ming trapped these alien gods, he did not kill them completely, but only trapped their consciousness and let them fend for themselves.

His supernatural abilities will probably not disappear naturally for another twenty or thirty years.

Such a long time is equivalent to a generation for humans. If they continue to receive no response from the gods, the faith in these other gods will eventually be lost.

"Yinshan feels so much more welcoming."

You Ming stretched comfortably, having practiced this supernatural power to a point where he was quite familiar with it.

He casually poured another 30,000 units of divine power into the [Divine Arts Workshop], which he had saved up over the past few years by living frugally.

It has attack, flight, evasion, and control abilities.

Then let's add another ranged attack technique.

【Divine Arts Workshop】is actually quite good, although it takes three years to develop a supernatural power.

But for the [Dharma Sign] level, this is extremely worthwhile.

Even though You Ming still has five divine abilities that he hasn't fully developed, it will only take him fifteen years in total.

With this cheat code, he was confident that he could condense all nine supernatural powers within twenty years, and then reach the [Tribulation] level within fifty years.

That's too fast, the speed is so fast it's affecting every side.

The [Dharma Aspect] is a very crucial level. Most cultivators spend a long time at this level, and even those with the talent of the Twelve Immortal Sons take hundreds of years to break through.

"Does this mean I need to prepare the treasures for my tribulation sooner?"

"Yes, while preparing the treasures for overcoming the tribulation, we should also consolidate the foundation of our Dharma body and strive to overcome all tribulations as quickly as possible."

You Ming originally thought that the [Trial] was a long way off, but now it seems that it won't be long before he has to go.

For all cultivators, the tribulation is like a woman's menstrual period; not only are they constantly in a state of low health, but they also suffer various forms of torment from time to time.

That would truly bring "bloodshed and disaster".

Thinking of this, You Ming couldn't help but sigh.

You Ming toured the Yinshan area and then arrived at the newly opened land.

Five years ago, this place was a sparsely populated area with interspersed mountains and marshes.

The forests are dense and the grass is lush, birds roam and beasts roam freely. Although many people have migrated here, the land is still sparsely populated.

But five years have passed, and the landscape of the vast area has changed dramatically.

The most striking feature is that newly opened long river.

Like a jade belt, it winds its way through valleys and ridges, connecting with hundreds of streams, and finally flows into the main vein of the Feng River, becoming part of the Cangyuan River.

There are now more than a dozen human settlements along the banks of the river.

Several of the larger ones were even simple fortified cities built by the government. Although the bricks and stones were thin and the soldiers were insufficient, they had walls, gates, and roads, and could accommodate two or three thousand people. If nearby villages wanted to trade, they had to come here.

Within this city, temples were built to worship the City God, the River God, and the wandering spirits.

Although most of the temples are not tall, they are very popular with worshippers.
