Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1435: Chapter 495: Testing the Waters, Ingenious Use of Divine Power Skill

Upon learning the truth about Ye Lingyue’s rebirth but eventual passing, Xi Jiuye felt a heavy weight lifted and a sense of relief.

His feelings toward Ye Lingyue were complex and hard to articulate, even to himself.

They were once comrades, and had even been partners.

Without her, he would not have become the Northern Territory Divine Sovereign.

Yet, he could never favor her as he did Lan Chuchu. Ye Lingyue was a woman he respected, feared, but lacked affection for.

Moreover, there was a deep-seated enmity between them.

In private, Xi Jiuye wondered if Ye Lingyue’s rebirth rendered her no longer an enemy’s daughter and no longer that invincible Female War God from the North, could they start anew.

This thought once moved Xi Jiuye.

But he immediately dismissed the notion, knowing Ye Lingyue’s nature would never forgive him.

Forgetting yet unable to forget—this feeling plagued Xi Jiuye for centuries.

The feeling intensified with the emergence of Hong Mingyue and the Earth Evil Great Lord.

After coming to the Ancient Nine Provinces, his odd behaviors were finally explained.

His prior anomalies, his heart’s stirring, jealousy, even his leniency toward the Earth Evil Great Lord were simply because she was a descendant of an old acquaintance.

Thinking of this brought Xi Jiuye peace.

In front of him, Hong Mingyue smiled charmingly, gazing at him.

This stirred a memory in Xi Jiuye, recalling the scenario when he first met Ye Lingyue centuries ago.

At that time, he was merely a fledgling Upper God, while she was the runaway daughter of a Divine Sovereign.

She asked his name, smiling, her eyes twinkling like the North Star hanging in the dawn sky when they met.

Xi Jiuye momentarily lost focus, muttering to himself that Hong Mingyue resembled Ye Lingyue more than the ill-tempered Earth Evil Female Monarch.

Indeed, that woman’s temper was atrocious.

Ugly with a bad temper, only someone like Di Shen would find her appealing.

How could he ever be attracted to such a woman?

By all accounts, Hong Mingyue was infinitely better.

Inwardly, Xi Jiuye repeatedly reminded himself the next time he encountered the Earth Evil Great Lord, he would not show mercy.

"Ah-choo."

In Hong Meng Heaven, Ye Lingyue sneezed loudly.

After Di Shen obtained Fu Sanshi’s array, Ye Lingyue sourly sent him off to practice.

Meanwhile, with the Jiu Provinces Hunting imminent, the Huangquan City members were either contemplating or practicing Divine Power Skills, while Ye Lingyue secluded herself in Hong Meng Heaven to explore her new Divine Power Skill, the Ten Layers of Heaven.

Earlier in Dugu Tian, Ye Lingyue only knew of the Ten Layers of Heaven as gravity, slowing movements and weighing down limbs.

But upon mastering it herself, she realized its effects far surpassed mere gravity.

She thought that the Ten Layers of Heaven used by Master Zi in Dugu Tian only unleashed a fraction of its potential.

Upon comprehending the Ten Layers of Heaven, Ye Lingyue discovered that its power adjusted with one’s strength; the stronger one was, the greater the range and gravity.

Like Master Zi with such cultivation, he could use the gravity of the Ten Layers of Heaven to instantly make a Great Divine Power Realm expert explode.

Currently, Ye Lingyue lacked such prowess; using the Ten Layers of Heaven, she could roughly double someone’s (or something’s) weight, affecting an area over a mile, possibly doubling gravity through the Qian Cauldron’s conversion of spiritual power to Power of Heaven and Earth.

Yet the clever Ye Lingyue quickly devised another use for the Ten Layers of Heaven.

She stood before a wide-open field.

This field lay on the west side of Rainbow River, a new area in Hong Meng Heaven inhabited by Bloodthirsty Snake Bees and other new demon beasts, a perk from collecting Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments.

This area was flatter compared to the east river bank, the earliest part of Hong Meng Heaven.

The industrious Three-legged Birdman tribesmen had started cultivating here, growing lush Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

The environment in Hong Meng Heaven, thanks to Ye Lingyue’s repeated absorption of Five Elements Spirit, had become a rare haven.

Here, Five Elements Spirit was abundant, surpassing the so-called Outer Heaven Family Cave Heavens of Ancient Nine Provinces.

Picky Heavenly Gang Bamboo grew faster here, its resilience greatly enhanced, transforming the west bank of Rainbow River into a bamboo sea, swayed by gentle breezes, fragrant.

These Heavenly Gang Bamboo could, post-training by Ye Lingyue, become Spiritual Artifacts comparable to Heaven Rank—one of Ye Lingyue’s secret weapons.

Due to their toughness, even the strongest Three-legged Birdman warriors struggled to harvest them in large quantities.

At times, even a Three-legged Birdman Warrior after days’ effort could only cut down one Heavenly Gang Bamboo—and only Ye Lingyue could use Divine Sense to fell mature Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

Ye Lingyue focused her Divine Sense, with the Nine Dragon Chant floating before her.

A buzzing sound followed, as the Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant soared and sliced toward the Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

The bamboo leaves quivered, some fell, while a few slender lines appeared on the bamboo stalks, which soon vanished.

The Nine Dragon Chant was a Heavenly Low-grade Spiritual Artifact crafted by Ye Lingyue on the Qing Province Continent—a pair of swords, one each for Ye Lingyue and Di Shen.

On the Qing Province Continent, the Nine Dragon Chant was deemed a divine weapon, but in Lonely Moon Sea or Ancient Nine Provinces, Heavenly Low-grade wasn’t remarkable.

Here, Alchemists’ Artifact Refining skills surpassed those on the Qing Province Continent vastly.

After consuming several Mutant Fires, Ye Lingyue tried to enhance it further, achieving Heavenly Middle Grade, competing against Reincarnation Realm masters, but facing Divine Power Realm opponents, especially during Jiu Provinces Hunting and against formidable foes like Xi Jiuye, Heavenly Middle Grade fell short.

Ye Lingyue pondered intensely on boosting the Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant’s prowess.

The emergence of the Divine Power Skill "Ten Layers of Heaven" sparked new ideas in Ye Lingyue.

"Ten Layers of Heaven."

Ye Lingyue executed the Divine Power Skill, not applying the Ten Layers of Heaven to the surroundings this time, but enhancing the Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant with it.

The sword glowed brighter immediately.

A whizzing sound ensued, the air distorted.

Like starlight flowing, the sword flashed forth, its brilliance transformed into a waterfall, engulfing the Heavenly Gang Bamboo Forest.

A crisp sound of bamboo breaking; those that even divine weapons could fell were cut evenly, toppling en masse.
