"I thought I'd be able to break through the bottleneck with the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. I didn't think I'd be able to break through the bottleneck even after comprehending the Elementary Devouring Tactic to its peak!"
Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh after he smiled wryly.
The bottleneck meant the Sun Saint Origin in his body was only comparable to the Saint Origin of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage even with the help of the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic.
The bottleneck was the limit of the Saint Origin of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
If he wanted to break through the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, he would have to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Only then would he be able to break through the bottleneck of his Saint Origin and improve his strength.
'According to Huo Lao, once a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage passes the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, the Saint Origin in his body will break through the bottleneck and form the Celestial Origin Energy. At that time, the Saint Origin would still be the same Saint Origin as before. However, due to the Celestial Origin Energy, the Saint Origin would be much stronger than before!
Huo Lao said the Celestial Origin Energy would only be formed after one passes the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. '
Duan Lingtian sighed again when he thought about this. 'In other words, before I pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, even if my cultivation base breaks through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Sun Saint Origin in my body won't be able to improve with the Elementary Devouring Tactic!
In fact, when my cultivation base breaks through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, I won't even need the help of the Elementary Devouring Tactic to break through the bottleneck!
At that time, even if I cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, with all my might, the Sun Saint Origin in my body wouldn't change at all. At that time, the Elementary Devouring Tactic would no longer be of any help to my strength. It would be useless to me! "
Naturally, the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was useless to Duan Ling Tian after he had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
In other words, the Elementary Devouring Tactic would not be useless.
After all, apart from helping Duan Lingtian improve his Saint Qi, the Elementary Devouring Technique had many other uses.
For example, he could devour and raise the grade of his Innate Spiritual Root.
'However, if I pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation after breaking through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, even if the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, can't raise the Saint Origin in my body, I'll still have Celestial Origin Energy!'
"Saint Origin has reached the limit of the mundane realm, but the Celestial Origin Energy isn't limited by the mundane realm!"
With this thought, Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up.
'The most important thing now is to raise my cultivation base and break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage before overcoming the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!'
'Once I've overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, I'll be able to use the Elementary Devouring Tactic to increase my strength again. At that time, my strength will increase tremendously!'
The disappointment in Duan Lingtian's heart lessened slightly when he thought about this.
Although Duan Lingtian was still slightly disappointed, he knew things were already set in stone. There was nothing he could do to change it.
'Apart from raising my cultivation base, the only thing I can do now is to improve my other techniques. That's the only way I can improve my overall strength in a short time!
After all, before I break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation, my Sun Saint Origin is only so-so. '
A hint of determination flashed in Duan Lingtian's eyes as he muttered to himself.
'In the past, I've been too reliant on the Elementary Devouring Tactic. That's why my other techniques have stagnated.'
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly as he muttered to himself.
Whether it was the defensive divine ability, Black Tortoise's Armor, the offensive divine ability, Otherworldly Flying Immortal, or even the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, they had all been temporarily left behind by him.
Duan Ling Tian only realized this when he discovered the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was becoming less and less helpful to him.
'However, even though my current strength hasn't improved much compared to when I was at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, I'm not afraid of anyone in the Wandering Saint Palace, one of the Three Palaces and Six Halls in the Human-Devil clan, except for the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace!'
"Perhaps … I can first become a 'Vice Palace Master'."
Duan Lingtian did not forget his plan.
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian did not linger in the desert. He immediately turned around and returned to the Human-Devil Saint City.
In less than an hour, Duan Lingtian returned to the inn under the Crimson Blaze Palace in the Human-Devil clan's Three Palaces and Six Halls.
After returning to the inn, Duan Lingtian, naturally, planned to bring Kerr, his daughter, and Gan Ru Yan to the Wandering Saint Palace in the Human-Devil clan's Three Palaces and Six Halls.
"Sister is still in closed-door cultivation."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian learned from Kerr that she had been in closed-door cultivation for quite some time.
Gan Ru Yan had been in closed-door cultivation since the last time Duan Lingtian was in closed-door cultivation. She did not show any signs of coming out of closed-door cultivation.
"Let's wait for her then."
Duan Lingtian did not forget his promise to his daughter and began to teach her cultivation. He decided to wait for Gan Ru Yan to come out of closed-door cultivation.
During this time, Duan Lingtian realized how terrifying a black Innate Spiritual Root was.
Duan Lingtian could not help but click his tongue when he saw his daughter's cultivation base skyrocketing. 'This … This is too much!'
Duan Lingtian looked for Kerr when Duan Si Ling's cultivation was on the right track and she no longer needed to stick to him.
Duan Lingtian said to Kerr, "Kerr, Si Ling should be fine now that she's cultivating on her own. I'm going to make a trip to upgrade my Innate Spiritual Root to a black Innate Spiritual Root!"
"Brother Tian, how long will you be gone?"
Kerr was more concerned about how long Duan Lingtian would be gone since she did not want to be separated from Duan Lingtian anymore.
"It shouldn't be too long … After all, my Innate Spiritual Root is only half a step away from becoming a black Innate Spiritual Root!"
Duan Lingtian said as he hugged Kerr and said gently, "I'll be back as soon as possible … When Si Ling wakes up from her cultivation, please inform her."
"Alright."
Kerr nodded with a reluctant expression on her face. "Brother Tian, come back early."
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian replied before he kissed Kerr's forehead gently. Then, he left the inn and the Human-Devil Saint City.
After leaving the Human-Devil Saint City, Duan Lingtian headed north.
This time, his target was not the Human-Devil Saint City, but the other clans in the Devil Clans.
When Duan Lingtian was in the Human-Devil Saint City, he learned about the Human-Devil Saint City.
A few hundred thousand miles north of the Human-Devil Saint City was the territory occupied by the Boar-Devil Clan after they arrived at the Dobusei Subterranean.
It was the base of a fourth-rate force in the Dobusei Subterranean.
Although the Boar-Devil Clan was not one of the most powerful clans in the Devil Clans, including the Human-Devil Clan and the Ox Devil Clan, it was only second to these few clans. It was one of the more powerful clans in the Devil Clans.
'According to the Human-Devils in the restaurant in the Human-Devil Saint City, there are three powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Boar-Devil Clan!
The three powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage are the leaders of the Black Boar Tribe, the Thunder Boar Tribe, and the Red Boar Tribe. They're also the three Patriarchs of the Boar-Devil Clan! '
Since Duan Lingtian had gone to the restaurant in the Human-Devil Saint City, he knew a thing or two about the Boar-Devil Clan.
'It's said that the Boar-Devils are all humanoid monsters with the head of a pig. Based on this description, they're similar to Zhu Ba Jie, the Second Senior Brother in the legends! '
As Duan Ling Tian's mind raced, he discovered something.
He had unknowingly left the Human-Devil Clan's territory and entered the Boar-Devil Clan's territory.
'It's a Human-Devil from the Human-Devil Clan's territory!'
When Duan Lingtian discovered he had entered the Boar-Devil Clan's territory, a loud voice rang from afar. It instantly attracted Duan Lingtian's attention.
When Duan Lingtian looked in the direction of the voice, he saw two figures standing in front of him.
Both of them had the body of a human.
However, their heads were all huge pig heads. They were exactly the same as Zhu Bajie from the ancient myths and legends on Earth in his previous life.
The only difference was that they were not as fat as Zhu Ba Jie.
Among the two figures with pig heads, one of them was muscular while the other was skinny. The person who spoke was the skinny one.
'So these are the Boar-Devils?'
At this moment, it was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess the identity of these two people.
"Human-Devil boy, you've crossed the line … This is the territory of the Boar-Devil Clan!"
The skinny Boar-Devil flew toward Duan Lingtian and arrived in front of Duan Lingtian in just a blink of an eye. He opened his mouth and said to Duan Lingtian.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Duan Lingtian could smell a foul stench wafting toward him.
"Scram!"
Duan Ling Tian's eyes turned cold as he raised his hand. His majestic Saint Origin surged out and engulfed the Boar Devil and the stench coming out of his mouth.
After the Boar-Devil was engulfed, he was reduced to ashes.
All that was left was a Spatial Ring floating in the air by itself.
'It's a powerhouse from the Human-Devil Clan!'
