Human Clan Defender-Chapter 695 - s 53 to 57: Time Decay, Divine Ability Scroll (Four-in-One, thanks to the "Colorless Void" Silver League)_5

His gaze lingered on it.

Shen Changqing stared at the painting, a strange feeling welling up in his heart.

It was as if he had grasped something, yet it also seemed like he had not grasped anything at all.

That strange sensation made his heart feel uncomfortable.

Involuntarily, Shen Changqing's Divine Sense landed on the painting.

In an instant, the scene changed.

It was as if his mind had been pulled into the painting, allowing him to overlook the world below from the Firmament, like an Immortal God.

On the mountaintop, a man in white extended a finger.

That simple gesture, seemingly capable of parting heaven and earth, split the Cloud Sea before him.

The clouds churned, and the force of the finger was unparalleled.

All sorts of profound mysteries surged into his mind.

For a moment, Shen Changqing's mind was utterly captivated by the profound mystery of that finger.

He didn't know how long had passed.

Suddenly, a voice reached his ears.

"This finger technique is called Cloud-Transforming Finger!"

Afterward, Shen Changqing's mind withdrew from the painting.

The profound feeling from before lingered. When his Divine Sense fell upon the painting again, the same scene replayed.

After a long time, his mind withdrew from the painting again.

He felt a hint of mental exhaustion.

This time, Shen Changqing didn't look at the painting again. Instead, he focused his mind and directed his attention to his personal panel.

Name: Shen Changqing

Force: Great Qin's Demon Suppression Division

Identity: Great Qin Defender

Realm: Immortal Golden Body

Flesh: True Body of Ten Thousand Calamities (Seventh Order)

Dharma: Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger (Second Level), Dusk Cangwu (First Level), Heaven and Earth Slash (First Level), Cloud-Transforming Finger (Uninitiated, can be improved)

Martial Arts:

Slaughter: 14,535

Divine Skills: 182

Upon seeing the additional name in the Dharma section of his panel, he understood.

This painting is no ordinary object. It contains the inheritance of a Divine Skill. It's just a pity that this Divine Skill isn't very powerful.

Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly.

Cloud-Transforming Finger.

Sixth Grade Divine Skill.

Among the nine grades of Divine Skills, a sixth-grade one is considered to have just entered the level of mid-tier Divine Skills.

Among the Divine Skills integrated by the panel, a Divine Skill integrated once would be of the sixth-grade standard. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

A Divine Skill integrated twice would be equivalent to a third-grade Divine Skill.

A Divine Skill integrated thrice would be a first-grade Divine Skill.

Among these, Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger and Dusk Cangwu were both third-grade Divine Skills, meaning they were Divine Skills that had undergone a second integration.

Only Heaven and Earth Slash was a first-grade Divine Skill, having undergone a third integration.

The Cloud-Transforming Finger he had just acquired was considered the lowest-grade among the Divine Skills displayed on his panel.

However, Shen Changqing didn't disdain it.

Now that he had acquired a sixth-grade Divine Skill, if he were to acquire another one in the future, then upon integration, he could surely enhance Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger even further.

At that time, he would possess two first-grade Divine Skills.

Collecting his thoughts, he turned his head to look at Yi Ning.

Yi Ning's mind was still immersed in the painting.

After watching for a moment, Shen Changqing didn't disturb him.

Comprehending a Divine Skill was not so easily achieved.

The reason he could regain his senses so quickly was due to his profound foundation and the fact that he had already mastered a number of Divine Skills.

Otherwise, he would have been like Yi Ning, unable to extricate himself from the painting.

Then, Shen Changqing examined the surroundings of the side hall.

Below the painting lay a straw cushion with signs of frequent use. Clearly, someone had often meditated here.

Besides that, there was a desk and a bookshelf to the side, on which some books were placed.

Seeing this, he was almost certain that this was where the Hall Master usually cultivated.

The painting containing the Divine Skill, the cushion, the bookshelf, and the nature's spiritual energy here—which was more than ten times denser than elsewhere—all proved this point.

The best items are often in the master's room. The things I'm looking for should all be found here!

A slight smile touched Shen Changqing's lips.

His original purpose for coming here was merely to find a cultivation method for the Divine Soul.

After entering the main hall, another goal had been added: to obtain the Heart of the Spirit Vein.

The spiritual energy density here was more than ten times greater than elsewhere. It was quite clear that the entrance to the Spirit Vein was likely here.

Furthermore, it was normal for the Hall Master's cultivation place to contain Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts.

Shen Changqing suspected the books on the bookshelf were related materials.

But he couldn't be sure if, after so many years, these books were merely superficially intact and would crumble at a touch, like the other items in the side hall.

Approaching the bookshelf, he touched it with his palm, feeling a cool sensation.

Shen Changqing had no idea what material the desk was made from, but despite the passage of time, it remained undamaged, showing no signs of decay or destruction like other objects.

That alone indicated the desk was a treasure.

And not just an ordinary treasure at that.

After a glance, he shifted his gaze to the bookshelf before him.

Carefully, he picked up a book, fearful that even slight force would damage it.

When he first touched the book, it felt fragile but undamaged.

However, as Shen Changqing prepared to lift the book, the seemingly intact volume suddenly disintegrated into dust.

Seeing this, he stopped.

Troublesome!

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly. Indeed. After so many years, these books have also become incredibly fragile. They'll be destroyed with the slightest carelessness.
