Please be my partner.

That evening, at the Golden Bridge Cave, Yu Jun's new residence after becoming one of the Ten Heroes.

When Mellen arrived, four of the Ten Outstanding Members, including Yu Junhui, were already there. Today's gathering was organized by Yu Junhui and was a small gathering of the Ten Outstanding Members of the Extraterritorial Faction.

Yu Jun will greet Mellen with a smile and invite her inside, then introduce the other ten heroes to Mellen one by one.

Besides Zhuo Gu, who remains in tenth place, there are also Chu Xuanzong in eighth place and He Zhaokun in fifth place.

To be honest, if we exclude Mellen from the Ten Outstanding Individuals, the outsiders, even if they are comparable in number to the homegrown ones, are far inferior in quality.

Of course, strictly speaking, although Long Zizai also belongs to the local faction, his strength has reached a level where he doesn't care much about such things. Only those with similar or at least comparable talents are worthy of his special attention.

All of them were eager to make friends, so after only a short time of drinking and chatting, their relationship became much closer. Through them, Mellen also learned many secrets.

As one of the sect's top ten talents, in addition to the many obvious benefits, there are also many hidden perks, such as the ability to travel to other realms in advance.

Of course, this 'travel' is not something you can just do casually; you need to find the right opportunity.

The Golden Jade Immortal Sect has many powerful figures. When they explore the outer realms, they occasionally have the idea of ​​conquering the entire outer realms for various reasons. Otherwise, how did the Golden Jade Immortal Sect acquire so many blessed lands and grotto-heavens?!

In this extraterrestrial world, once the powerful figures of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect have firmly established their advantage, they will open it up to the Ten Heroes and True Disciples, allowing them to freely explore the extraterrestrial world. This exploration is certainly not absolutely safe, but correspondingly, they may also obtain some unimaginable unique treasures within it.

Furthermore, during conversations with the others, Mellen learned about the greatest benefit one could gain from becoming a true disciple... the Enlightenment Ancient Tree!

The Enlightenment Tree of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect is a spiritual root of heaven and earth obtained by the patriarch. After forming a contract with it through a special secret method, one's comprehension can not only increase dramatically, but also enter a state similar to enlightenment for a short period of time by burning certain resources.

It was precisely because of the assistance of the Enlightenment Ancient Tree, a spiritual root of heaven and earth, that the founder of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect was able to advance all twelve of his innate divine abilities to the level of great divine abilities.

In fact, before the Nine Transformations Divine Technique, the Golden Jade Immortal Sect only had one spot for a true disciple. Only by concentrating all the auxiliary effects of the Enlightenment Ancient Tree on one person could they guarantee a certain probability of comprehending a great divine power.

Now, with the Nine Transformations Divine Method, great supernatural powers are no longer an obstacle. Therefore, the Golden Jade Immortal Sect also divided the Enlightenment Ancient Tree into nine branches, which can assist nine disciples at the same time. This is why there is the saying of the Nine True Transmissions.

To become a true disciple, one must first possess a celestial foundation and great supernatural powers. For others, once these two conditions are met, they are qualified to advance to the level of a true immortal.

However, the Golden Jade Immortal Sect pursues more than just True Immortals; there are even higher realms beyond that.

Therefore, after becoming a true disciple of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, one still needs to use the power of the Enlightenment Ancient Tree to hone one's own skills and supernatural abilities, so that they perfectly suit oneself and pave the way for the future. Only then can one be considered successful.

Chapter 616 Selection of Supernatural Powers

"The Ancient Tree of Enlightenment!"

For others, the Enlightenment Tree would be of great benefit, but only to themselves. However, for Mellen, if he could receive the blessing of the Enlightenment Tree, he and all the dogs would benefit.

At that time, it's possible that ten great supernatural powers might actually be born!

However, to become a true disciple of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, one must first possess an immortal foundation and great supernatural powers. The former is relatively easy to obtain, as Mellen already possesses them, but the latter requires some effort.

Spike, who has now cultivated supernatural powers and made considerable progress, has only just mastered the [War God's Manual] to a basic level; he is still far from reaching the pinnacle.

The four realms of supernatural powers are: Initial Exploration: This signifies that the supernatural power has been basically mastered and can be used without loss of control or failure; Advanced Mastery: This signifies that the supernatural power can be skillfully controlled and applied freely in any situation; Proficiency Through Practice: This signifies a deeper understanding of the supernatural power, no longer bound by its original form, capable of generating countless variations at will; Ultimate Mastery: This signifies that the supernatural power has been pushed to its theoretical limit, the skill is close to the Dao, and every action can resonate with and be supported by the power of the corresponding laws of heaven and earth.

For ordinary cultivators, it is already quite difficult to cultivate supernatural powers to a high level. Even many immortals may not be able to cultivate their own innate supernatural powers to the point of mastery.

Compared to one's innate divine power, a cultivator's ordinary divine power can also be advanced to its peak, but if it does not become an innate divine power, it does not have the qualification to break through the shackles and be sublimated into a great divine power.

Because advancing a supernatural power from its peak to transcendence is beyond human capability; it requires the power of heaven and earth. Only by inscribing the supernatural power onto one's immortal seed and making it one's innate supernatural power can a cultivator have even the slightest chance to touch upon the essence of the corresponding rules of heaven and earth by leveraging the power of the peak supernatural power.

Of course, the benefits of inscribing one's innate supernatural power are not limited to this. It can also give the supernatural power some independent enhancement range, making it easier to use and faster to cultivate, etc.

The Nine Transformations Divine Method essentially involves permanently sacrificing other divine abilities to forcibly elevate one divine ability to a level sufficient to touch the essence of the rules of heaven and earth, thereby enabling it to complete its transformation.

To be honest, among all the dogs under Melen's command, the one who was able to advance a supernatural ability to the level of a great supernatural ability the fastest was not Spike, but... Void Dog!

Void Dog follows the Ancient System, so although it is equivalent to the Myth (Immortal) level, it does not conflict with the rule system. In addition, with its unparalleled size, if it can obtain the right supernatural power, its progress speed will be incredibly fast. The same applies to the cultivation of Immortal Seeds.

In other words, Mellen can first let Void Dog follow the pure path of cultivation, so that Mellen can obtain the qualification of a true disciple in the shortest time. After that, he can use the power of the Enlightenment Tree to modify and improve it little by little, thus completing the path of Void Dog.

Fortunately, after becoming the leader of the Ten Heroes, the Golden Jade Immortal Sect's top-level supernatural powers and secret techniques have been opened to Mellen. He can choose a top-level supernatural power for each dog. As for whether to make it their innate supernatural power, they can decide after cultivating it to a certain level and seeing how compatible it is.

The day after the ten heroes gathered, Mellen went to the library. The old man who had warned him before clearly recognized him and looked at him with admiration.

Mellen didn't know the old man's real name; he only heard others call him Old Man Shu.

"Master Shu," Mellen bowed respectfully, then said, "I wish to peruse the sect's top-tier divine abilities."

The old scholar stroked his beard and chuckled, “Go ahead, it’s on the seventh floor of the library. With your current access level, you can enter directly.”

Mellen bowed again and then walked toward the seventh floor of the library.

With a barely perceptible flash of light, Mellen entered the seventh floor without any hindrance.

The seventh floor is less a library and more a small, transformed grotto.

Top-tier divine abilities are completely different from those below. To some extent, top-tier divine abilities are extremely close to the essence of heaven and earth, and cannot be fully expressed in ordinary language. Therefore, in the seventh level, each top-tier divine ability has a corresponding rare treasure of heaven and earth. These rare treasures are engraved with the divine ability imprint of the pinnacle level corresponding to these divine abilities.

These were all left behind by the predecessors of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect. Only in this way can cultivators enter the sect as quickly as possible.

Here, there is naturally a spirit of the library, through which one can quickly search and consult supernatural powers. However, Mellen intends to go through all the supernatural powers, so he naturally won't need this function.

Mellen walked toward the nearest magical stone tablet. As he got closer, the small, inconspicuous mound next to the tablet gradually became majestic and imposing.

When Mellen arrived in front of the Divine Stone, the small mound had transformed into a towering, majestic mountain, exuding a vast and overwhelming aura that seemed to cover the heavens and the earth.

【Thousands of Mountains and Peaks】, by absorbing the essence, spirit, power, and thoughts of countless mountains, continuously condense them, and finally create a divine mountain that reaches the heavens. Once the divine mountain appears, it can suppress everything.

It took Melon several hours to peruse the supernatural powers and to grasp even a wisp of the divine mountain's true meaning.

After gaining his insight, Mellen didn't linger and headed towards the next supernatural stone tablet.

【Ice Sword】, forged with extreme cold, is an ultimate sword. Once drawn, the Ice Sword can freeze everything in the world, including space and time.

The Blade of Unity: Observe all things and seize them all; forget all things and destroy them all. Condense all things in heaven and earth into a blade; with one strike, all things fall silent.

[Golden Seal Locks the God]...

[The Spell of Ten Thousand Spirits]...

【Soul Grievance】......

……

……

The Golden Jade Immortal Sect has collected a total of 203 top-tier supernatural abilities, which can basically satisfy the needs of most cultivators. It took Mellen two months to read through them all.

Afterwards, it took Mellen three days to recover his depleted energy before he had time to think about these supernatural powers.

In the mental world, Mellen shared the many supernatural information he had obtained with the dogs. Unfortunately, the wolves were still confused. They could transmit some simple information, but once the information became more extensive, large areas would be missing, let alone directly transmit supernatural powers and secret techniques.

Fortunately, as his strength improved, Mellen could clearly feel that his connection with the Forest Wolf was gradually strengthening, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before the communication became smooth.

After a brief discussion, the dogs all made their decisions.

Because Spike didn't have a suitable top-tier supernatural power, he continued to cultivate the high-grade supernatural powers of the War God Palace.

Actually, the War God Palace also had a top-tier divine ability, but unfortunately, that top-tier divine ability disappeared with the destruction of the War God Palace, and the Golden Jade Immortal Sect was unable to find any clues about that divine ability.

Little Red Lotus cultivates the top-tier divine power [Blood Fiend Nine Heavens]. The description says that if this divine power is advanced to the perfect level, it can trigger the killing intent of heaven, earth, and man, unleashing a massive calamity and annihilating an entire realm.

In fact, initiating a killing calamity is the fastest way to cultivate the [Blood Fiend Nine Heavens].

However, these demonic supernatural powers all have one thing in common: although the cultivation is simple and the resource requirements are not high, they are often accompanied by huge negative effects.

【Blood Fiend Nine Heavens】If one cultivates through killing tribulations, it may be fast, but it will offend the harmony of heaven and earth and will not be tolerated by heaven and earth.

Of course, Little Red Lotus is a bloodline life form, and she is born with a Blood Prison World, so she naturally has a huge advantage in cultivating the [Blood Fiend Nine Heavens].

Besides the [Blood Fiend Nine Heavens], Little Red Lotus also selected several other high-grade divine abilities to cultivate: [Blood Clouds Obscuring the Sun], [Blood Refining Sky Dome], and [Blood Sea Frenzy]. These divine abilities were ones that Mellen had previously recorded, but at that time there were no sect contribution points to exchange for them. With Mellen's current authority, he could learn them for free.

Garuru's chosen ultimate divine power is [Qiankun Xumi], a powerful divine power that can manipulate heaven and earth and reverse the universe. Once mastered, it can roam freely between nothingness and can go anywhere in the vastness of heaven and earth.

Although Garurumon is well-suited to cultivate multiple supernatural abilities simultaneously, it has not yet evolved into a Primordial God and is still slightly inferior to other dogs in terms of absolute talent. Therefore, it should focus on cultivating only this one supernatural ability.

There are no top-tier dream-related magical abilities suitable for Xiao Liuli, so for the time being, the little fox can only cultivate high-grade magical abilities such as [Heavenly Flower Dream] and [Hundred Flower Shadow].

The top-tier supernatural power chosen by the golden retriever is called "Chaotic Limitless". As the saying goes, limitless gives rise to Taiji, and the golden retriever's power of the sun and moon can also be called the power of Taiji.

If the golden retriever wants to further enhance its talent, it is essential to unify the power of the sun and moon. The [Chaos Limitless] technique contains relevant content, and if it can be mastered, it may have a good effect.

Nasus was a bit greedy; he took all three top-tier soul-related divine abilities. According to the dog, he needed enough data to compare and determine the most suitable divine ability for himself. Furthermore, if these three top-tier soul divine abilities did not satisfy him, he would have enough samples to create a soul divine ability that was more suitable for himself.

Melen couldn't refute this, so in addition to these three top-tier soul abilities, he also planned to pass on more than a dozen representative high-grade soul abilities to Nasus.

Void Dog's choice was simple: a top-tier divine ability called [Palm Void Realm].

The essence of this divine ability is somewhat similar to Void Dog's talent [Ancient Star Domain]. However, it is said that if [Palm Void Realm] can be transformed into a celestial technique, its power will far surpass the general celestial technique [Mountain and Sea Creation Technique]. In fact, Dao Lord level experts can use this celestial technique to directly create a small universe with the help of certain rare resources!

Mellen believed that Void Dog would be able to advance the [Palm Void Realm] to the level of transcendence and sainthood in the shortest possible time, transforming it into a great supernatural power.

Melen couldn't find a single time-related supernatural power suitable for Xiao Li, but judging from Xiao Li's calm demeanor, it seemed he had expected it all along.

We've also found a suitable match for the Forest Wolf, but since communication is currently difficult, there's no need to rush.

After confirming everything, Mellen left the seventh floor and went to the floor where superior-grade divine abilities were stored. He recorded the superior-grade divine abilities that the dogs needed and then passed them on.

After doing all this, two and a half months had passed since Murren entered the library.

Mellen was satisfied and prepared to leave the library. With these supernatural abilities, plus the abundant resources naturally attached to the sect's ten outstanding disciples, he could focus on cultivation for a long time to come.

On the first floor, Mellen looked at the old scholar who was meditating with his eyes closed. Without disturbing him, he bowed slightly and was about to leave.

Just then, the old man's voice reached Mellen's ears: "If you have already mastered the basics of the [Heavenly Heart Belongs to Me] that you obtained earlier, then quickly apply to view the original manuscript and the manuscripts of the previous Heavenly Heart Masters. It will be of great use to you."

Mellen turned around and saw that the old man was still sitting in meditation, without making any movement. After thinking for a moment, he did not ask any further questions, but bowed again and then turned to leave.

Upon returning to the Cloud Mountain Cave, Mellen released the dogs, allowing them to cultivate the chosen supernatural powers on their own.

After observing for only a moment, Mellen revealed an expression of amazement. The celestial spiritual energy produced by the dual poles of heaven and earth was far superior to spiritual energy. Its purity and quality were undoubtedly beneficial to the improvement of cultivation. More importantly, celestial spiritual energy could also play a great auxiliary role in the cultivation of supernatural powers. It could even be regarded as a low-efficiency version of a universal spiritual object, which could accelerate the cultivation speed of any kind of supernatural power.

This is the advantage that comes with becoming one of the Ten Outstanding Individuals in every aspect.

In addition, the cooperation with the Treasure Pavilion had already begun long ago. The Treasure Pavilion had unearthed many resources in the blessed land, and the part that was suitable for Mellen's use was directly intercepted by him.

This was also one of their original agreements. After all, Mellen shared his mining share in exchange for resources suitable for his and his dogs' cultivation. If he were to hand over suitable resources from the blessed land to the Treasure Pavilion for sale, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse and doing something superfluous?

Of course, the resources that are retained need to be deducted from Mellen's 50% net profit.

After sorting out these trivial matters, Mellen opened his gold and jade bracelet and submitted a request to the Imperial Household Department, hoping to view the original copy of "The Heart of Heaven Returns to Me" and the manuscripts of the successive Heavenly Heart Masters.

The Internal Affairs Hall of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect is in charge of all internal affairs, from the promotion of outer disciples to the resource allocation of the sect's top ten talents. Even the Weapon Refining Hall and the Alchemy Hall are subject to the Internal Affairs Hall's constraints to a certain extent, although the latter two also have considerable autonomy.

Only the Department of External Affairs and the Department of Criminal Law could stand alongside the Department of Internal Affairs.

The Foreign Affairs Hall oversees all external affairs of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, including its attitude towards other immortal sects and demon races, the struggle for resources, the ownership of secret realms and secret worlds, and the war against the evil demons of the Outer Heavens, etc.

The Hall of Punishments is separate from the two halls and is specifically for dealing with disciples who violate the sect's rules. Occasionally, it will also handle some cases that are not within the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, and its power is also quite enormous.

Speaking of which, after becoming one of the sect's top ten disciples, according to custom, Mellen was required to choose one of the three halls to join, which could be considered as training for him. However, Mellen has not yet made a choice.

Chapter 617 The Battle for the Demon King

Ten Thousand Mountains, Tianlang Mountain.

Nasus had to admit that renaming Tiger Head Mountain to Dog Head Mountain was indeed a bit of a joke and a casual decision. After a while, the name sounded increasingly awkward, and even Little Liuli rolled her eyes at it several times.

Ultimately, Nasus renamed Doghead Mountain to the more formal Sirius Mountain.

Fortunately, for those minor demons and monsters, the demon king's ever-changing orders and unpredictable actions were already commonplace, and the three demon kings on Tianlang Mountain were considered to be quite law-abiding.

Today, the territory of Tianlang Mountain has expanded from its initial radius of 800 li to its current radius of 3,000 li, which is more than ten times the original size.

Furthermore, the three demon kings on Tianlang Mountain are no longer the original three, but five. Moreover, the fourth and fifth demon kings who joined later, although not from the Immortal Realm, are both born with extraordinary abilities.

They are Black Cloud King and Thunder Wolf King, respectively. Both were conquered by Spike's strength and willingly became disciples of Sky Wolf Mountain.

The Black Cloud King's true form is a black dog. He possesses the art of demonic cloud manipulation. Once unleashed, the rolling demonic clouds blot out the sky and the sun. Enemies within them cannot distinguish between up and down, and will constantly suffer from the erosion of the demonic clouds.

The Thunder Wolf King is even more extraordinary. Ordinary demons are actually countered by lightning, but the Thunder Wolf King has awakened a trace of ancient bloodline and wields the divine power of lightning. If it is dealing with some minor demons and monsters, it does not even need to take action. It can simply summon thunderclouds to intimidate them into immobility.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Black Cloud King and the Thunder Wolf King that the expansion of Tianlang Mountain was so smooth.

On this day, the five great demon kings of Tianlang Mountain gathered together to discuss matters.

Ta Lei slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Boss! What do you say we do?! If it doesn't work, we'll fight that Yellow Wind Monster to the death!!"

"Fight?" Hei Yun glanced at Ta Lei and said indifferently, "That's one of the three great demon kings of Demon Eye Mountain, with several demon immortals under his command. What do we, the mere Tianlang Mountain, have to fight against him?!"

Thunderclap crackled with lightning, its eyes filled with fury, but it knew that Black Cloud was telling the truth, so it could only look at Spike to see what its boss had to say.

To be honest, the predicament Spike and his friends are facing now is the result of the Tiger King's actions back then.

The Demon Eye Mountain, one of the Hundred Thousand Mountains where Spike and his companions are currently located, stretches for millions of miles and is ruled by three great demon kings. These three demon kings are all powerful beings in the Immortal Realm, and each of them has at least several great demons from the Immortal Realm under their command.

Besides these three major demon kings, there are also many scattered minor demon kings in the Demon Eye Mountain. The three major demon kings usually ignore the latter and let them fend for themselves.
