Chapter 1548 -s 1496—1497 Announcing the Decree; The Unwilling True Immortal
It was just a short amount of time, yet it was enough to trigger a series of reactions throughout the Taoist Academy, and even the Divine Land World.
First, when the existence of the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities of the Myriad Laws Realm was confirmed, it stirred the hearts of many strong practitioners. Some of the more impatient ones had even begun preparing to descend into the Myriad Laws Realm once again to compete for these Supreme Divine Powers.
One should not assume this to be an exaggeration, since after all, the Supreme Divine Power was the kind that rivaled the Supreme Divine Power itself.
Bear in mind that, even in the current state of cultivation development in the Divine Land World, though there is no threshold for practicing divine power spells, not every divine power spell can be practiced at will.
Perhaps the entry-level, common Divine Abilities could be practiced freely, but top-tier Divine Abilities like those were also not abundant within the academy. Moreover, each one required an astronomical amount of Contribution Points, which not every practitioner could muster.
And even if they could come up with the points, many times they would be something money can’t buy. After all, each top-tier Divine Ability needed to be compatible with the practitioner. As soon as such a Divine Ability appeared in the academy, it would be immediately exchanged by someone. Not everyone was qualified to acquire it.
When it comes to divine power skills, the academy usually just set a base price, but it didn’t mean the base price would be enough to claim it; more often than not, it resembled an auction, where the highest bidder won.
And that was the case even for the top-tier Divine Abilities being in high demand, let alone the Supreme Divine Power, which was compelling enough to move many True Immortal Taoist Monarchs. Once they encountered a suitable one, those Taoist Monarchs wouldn’t mind stepping in to exchange for it.
Furthermore, since the founding of the academy ten thousand years ago, the Supreme Divine Power had appeared only once, and it was even an incomplete prototype. It was personally obtained and then offered by Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, and the scramble for it then involved True Immortal Taoist Monarchs competing. The Contribution Points spent by the Taoist Monarch who obtained it were astronomical, almost enough to cultivate a True Immortal for an immortal sect, which was no exaggeration.
Supreme Divine Power was something comparable to authority; it was highly treasured by the Taoist Monarchs. Even if they were unable to practice it or it wasn’t compatible with them, it did not prevent them from borrowing it for practice and enlightenment of many things.
