Chapter 1903: Gains and Losses

“True innate ability is an actual Divine Ability. It would be no weaker than a high-grade Divine Ability!” Elder Huo’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears and completely changed his perception.


Not only was the innate ability he learned about on Cloud Continent unrelated to Divine Abilities, but it was also inferior to it. He learned from Elder Huo that the innate abilities on Mortal Continents were not true innate abilities at all! True innate abilities were as strong as a high-grade Divine Ability!


Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath as he tried to suppress his excitement, but his voice still trembled slightly as he asked, “Elder Huo, you mean… The Soul Attack technique from my Strange Pupil is my innate ability, and it’s not any weaker than a high-grade Divine Ability?”


“Yes,” Elder Huo replied, “According to your description… The strength of your innate ability can still be improved. For instance, you can condense all the acc.u.mulated Spiritual Energy in the Strange Pupil into one Soul Attack. The strength of your attack will be stronger in that case! Naturally, it’s easier said than done. You’ll still have to depend on yourself for that. Previously, I only know that the One-eyed Devil Vulture’s eye is special. I didn’t think it’ll transform into something like this because it has resonated with your cultivation method.”


As Elder Huo spoke, he could not help but sigh. “An offensive Divine Ability can either be a Divine Ability or a Soul Attack Divine Ability… The latter is an innate ability, it’s impossible to make it any stronger. Soul Attack Divine Ability is a lot stronger compared to those Soul Attack Secret Techniques… The difference between it and the Soul Attack Secret Techniques is like the difference between a high-grade Divine Ability and an ordinary martial art skill.”


Duan Ling Tian stayed silent after Elder Huo finished speaking. He needed more time to process Elder Huo’s words. Eventually, he reached a conclusion.


He really hit the jackpot this time!


“In just a day and a night, not only did my cultivation base improve, but I even obtained an innate ability. How lucky.” A smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face.


Currently, he desperately wanted to improve his strength! This was because he knew clearly that even if he managed to enter the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect now, unless there was a miracle, it would be difficult for him to rescue Ke’er and their daughter. He was not even sure if he could get far enough to see them. For this reason, every improvement in his strength was like good news to him. He had never longed so desperately to be strong as he did now!


“Elder Huo, earlier you said that the situation seems different from what you imagined them to be… What do you mean by that?” Duan Ling Tian asked after he calmed himself down.


Due to his curiosity, he instantly asked Elder Huo about the changes in his Strange Pupil when he heard him spoke. Now that the matter was resolved, he recalled what Elder Huo had said earlier.


“The fourth level of Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da has been completely restored.” Elder Huo’s voice sounded in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up and his body began to tremble slightly due to excitement when he heard this.


The fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da had been restored! This was definitely good news to Duan Ling Tian!


Duan Ling Tian was so excited that his face turned red. It took a while before he managed to calm down.


First, he had broken through to the Divine Saint Stage. Then, he mastered a powerful Soul Attack that was like an innate ability. Finally, he learned that Elder Huo had finished repairing the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da.


All three were good news to him!


“This means I’ll have a better cultivation environment in the future… The time flow in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da is much slower than the time flow on the third floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da! Eight days inside equal to only a day in the outside world!” Duan Ling Tian muttered excitedly to himself, “Moreover, if I meet an opponent I can’t defeat, I’ll be able to hide in the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da!”


“I’m afraid it’s not possible to take hide in there,” Elder Huo said in response to Duan Ling Tian’s last sentence.


“Why?” When Duan Ling Tian heard Elder Huo’s words, his body that was trembling from excitement instantly stilled. His smile had also disappeared.


At this moment, he realized that something was amiss! Otherwise, Elder Huo would not say such words to him at such a time.


“Although the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da has been repaired, the s.p.a.ce inside is still unstable… It’ll be impossible to hide in it for now,” Elder Huo answered Duan Ling Tian’s question.


“How’s this possible!” Duan Ling Tian had an expression of disbelief when he first heard Elder Huo’s words. “Elder Huo, are you certain? I remember you said that as long as the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da is repaired, the s.p.a.ce inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da will stabilize, and I’ll be able to hide in it. No matter how big of a commotion there is in the outside world, I won’t be kicked out!” Duan Ling Tian became agitated as he spoke.


Apart from having a better cultivation environment and slower time flow, he was looking forward to the stability the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da would bring to the s.p.a.ce inside.


According to what Elder Huo said previously, since the fourth level was in the middle, it would stabilize the s.p.a.ce inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da. At that time, when he entered paG.o.da, he would not be kicked out from just a slight movement in the outside world. For this reason, he was desperate to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da!


However, after everything he had gone through to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, Elder Huo just told him the s.p.a.ce inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da was still as unstable as before. He could not hide inside in times of danger.


How could he accept this?


As the saying went, ‘The higher your hopes are, the harder the fall would be’. This phrase described Duan Ling Tian’s situation perfectly.


“The s.p.a.ce inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da is damaged when it arrived in this Mundane Realm… Originally, I thought the s.p.a.ce inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da would stabilize as soon as I repair the fourth level. However, as I repaired the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, I realized the damage inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da is more than what I imagined it to be! Unless the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da is completely repaired, the s.p.a.ce inside will never stabilize.”


“Completely repaired?” Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly when he heard Elder Huo’s words. “I’m afraid I don’t know how long that will take.”


All this time, he had been finding the materials needed to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da. From the first level to the fourth level, it got harder at every level.


In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, even if he stood at the peak of the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land and used all the resources that were available to him, he would only be able to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da up to the sixth level at most.


‘Although I’m at the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, I’m not even sure if I can completely repair it to the sixth level.’ When Duan Ling Tian thought of this, his expression turned even more bitter.


‘It seems like G.o.d has played a joke on me! I thought I might be able to use it to enter the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Saint Land and the Enforcement Hall and rescue Ke’Er and our daughter… After all, no one will be able to find me if I hide inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da. Well, it seems like that’s impossible now!’


Duan Ling Tian knew very well there were no more shortcuts for him to see and resue Ke’Er and their daughter. He could only rely on his own hard work to do it!


The path of relying on the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da had reached its end. Although things might not work in his favor even if he could hide in it, it gave him a sense of hope. Currently, he felt as though all his hopes had been snuffed out.


“Apart from being unable to stabilize the s.p.a.ce inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, I’ve discovered a damage the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da had sustained while it was still in the hands of Li Jing and repaired it as well. This is an unexpected but pleasant surprise!” Elder Huo continued to transmit his voice.


“Damage? Unexpected but pleasant surprise?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.


“Actually, the real time flow on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da is not eight days inside equal to a day outside… It’s only so when it was damaged. Li Jing did not bother to repair the damage since the time flow doesn’t concern him. Over time, perhaps, Li Jing had even forgotten about it,” Elder Huo continued saying.


Li Jing was the former owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, he was also a legendary mythical figure in Duan Ling Tian’s past life. He was known as the PaG.o.da-bearing Heavenly King.


“Elder Huo… What do you mean? Does this mean that time flows even slower on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da now that you repaired the damage?” Duan Ling Tian was not stupid, he knew what Elder Huo was alluding to.


“Yes,” Elder Huo nodded before he said, “The time flow on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da is ten days inside equal to a day outside.”


Ten to one!


Duan Ling Tian could not help but gasp. It was obvious he was shocked.


In comparison to the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, the third level was one fold slower!
