Wang Wei put on a new robe before looking at the destruction caused by his Heavenly Tribulation. To his surprise, the entire mountain was completely fine. There was nothing destroyed, no burn marks. Nothing. This was probably because of all the formations that were arranged in this mountain. So, Wang Wei nodded before flying back to his cultivation room. Meanwhile, all the disciples of the sect had a look of shock on their faces. All they saw was massive dark clouds covering the entire sect, then massive pillars of white and dark-red flames kept falling on the Tribulation Peak. Many people wondered whether a devil cultivator had infiltrated their sect, but they heard news that the young sect master was actually going through tribulation. As a result, many people became worried for Wang Wei when they saw how powerful that Heavenly Tribulation was. They wondered if he would be able to pass this tribulation. If it was not the formations in the Tribulation Peak that prevented both the Cleansing-Purifying Flame and the Heavenly Destruction Flame from spreading outwards, Heaven knows what kind of destruction this Heavenly Tribulation would have caused. Wang Wei returned to his cultivation room to finish the final step of his breakthrough; acquiring his Innate Talent. Wang Wei looked at the three floating lights in his Sea of Consciousness. These three represented three different talents, which was a surprise to Wang Wei. He concentrated on these three lights, then his 7-color Rainbow Qi Luck Dragon flew straight into these three lights, which further intensified their brightness. As such, Wang Wei's Sea of Consciousness, which was purple in color shone an additional three colors: grey, black and white, and green. After his Qi Luck baptized his new talents, the three lights spots turned into three different runes--signifying that these talents have been concocted. According to Wang Wei's calculation, the whole process took him three days. Then, a message was sent into his mind telling him the name of the talents, what they are capable of and what grade they are. According to Wang Wei's knowledge, Innate Talents are divided into four grades: Normal, Growth, Extraordinary, and Taboo. Normal talents are the worst of the bunch. These talents usually accompany the owner only during the Supernatural Realm, then become useless. Of course, a normal talent is still better than no talent at all. Growth Talent--as the name implies--is a talent that can slowly grow and develop by the owner. Although the starting point of Growth Talents are low, they have the possibility to reach terrifying heights. It is all based on the ability of the person who holds the talent. Extraordinary Talents are very powerful and can accompany the owner throughout their entire cultivation path. Furthermore, they can also grow and develop, although it is often unnecessary to do so. As for taboo? Well, they are extremely powerful, mysterious, and often heaven defying. It is not impossible for a Taboo Innate Talent to grant a cultivator the power to bring back the dead back to life. However, Taboo Talents always have a price to pay. More often, these talents are a one time ability. Meaning, after using it once, the owner will not be able to do it again and the talent will be gones. Another possible side effect of taboo talents is they require lifespan to use, or a part of the user's body, or to even sacrifice their entire lives. So, although Taboo Talents are powerful, they are very unstable. As for Wang Wei, he received two Growth Talents and one Extraordinary talent. The green rune in his Sea of Consciousness represents his Pain Talent. Wang Wei was speechless after knowing the effect of this talent. For once, this talent allows him to increase the pain that his enemy feels when he attacks them. According to his guess, this talent's purpose is to make his attack so painful that it renders his enemies incapable of fighting. Or at the very least, weaken them greatly due to pain. Another ability of this talent is that the more pain that Wang Wei endures, the stronger his battle strength can increase. Well, Wang Wei guessed that the reason he has such a talent was probably because of the 18 Level of Hell that he experienced in the Third Pagoda Trial. And probably because he cultivated the [Overlord Fist]. His second Growth Talent is called Life and Death Wheel. Although this talent has a cool name, it is not as powerful as it sounds. This talent allows Wang Wei to absorb any form of energy to heal himself. For example, by absorbing the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth, he could heal a lot of his injuries. To Wang Wei, this talent was a little wasted due to his powerful regenerative ability granted by his powerful fleshly body. However, Wang Wei could use it to superpose to his regeneration. For example, it would probably take him a few minutes to regrow his arm in a battle. However, with the addition of this talent, it would only take him a few seconds if not instant. In the level of battles that Wang Wei will have to participate in the future, the difference between a few splits of seconds can decide life and death. As for the reason that he has this talent, it was because of his understanding of Death during the Second Pagoda Trial. The last talent was actually the one tailored specifically for his Fate Puppeteer Physique. And to be honest, Wang Wei was surprised. This talent was simply too terrible to be just an Extraordinary One. The amount of power that this Innate Talent grants him is simply unimaginable that it was a taboo one. In order to ensure that he did not make a mistake, he had to check for a few minutes. He sighed as he knew that his strength had dramatically increased. He was looking forwards to meeting a worthy opponent that would forced him to use this talent After checking his talent, Wang Wei did not immediately exit his seclusion, but took out a bunch of records about [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] in order to solve a puzzle he had for a while now. According to his previous understanding, he was not supposed to wake up with an ability like the Innate Field. What's more, after finishing tempering his bones, another ability was awakening. So, he was curious about the reason. He was also curious why he did not awaken one after tempering his muscles. After checking the records, Wang Wei discovered that this was the result of refining a certain body part to the realm of Great Perfection. The reason that his muscle did not produce an ability was simply because it did not reach Great Perfection. So, Wang Wei finally understood. He used chaotic space to temper his skin, Heavenly Flame to temper his bones. Only his muscles used ordinary methods. After figuring out the answer, Wang Wei then checked his new ability. To be honest, this ability was also heaven defying. This ability which is referred to as [Bone Clone Substitution] allows Wang Wei to create a clone of himself from his bones and use that clone as a substitution for a deadly attack. In order, if Wang Wei received an attack so powerful that it could instantly kill him, he could use the bone clone to die in his stead; Essentially, Wang Wei has another life granted to him by this ability. Moreover, this clone can also substitute for Wang Wei if he received strange, powerful and unnoticeable curses or cause and effect spells like wishing spell, karma backlash, or reality erasure. Although these kinds of spells or origin abilities are rare, they still exist. So, with this ability, once these hard to guard against attacks reach Wang Wei, they will kill the Bone Clone first, giving him enough time to react or defend himself. What's more, this clone ability is not a one time thing. All Wang Wei needs to do in order to recreate one is to absorb very precious and High Tier metals like the Silver Sand or Deep Copper. If it was any other normal cultivators who received this talent, they would be anxious about where to find these rare minerals. However, all Wang Wei has to do is ask and someone from the sect will hand the materials he needs to him. This is the benefit of being a second-generation rich in the cultivating world. Well, technically speaking, his family has been rich for countless generations. But, that's not important. After checking that everything was alright, Wang Wei started thinking about how he is going to temper his muscles to the realm of Great Perfection. The best method would be to wait until he breaks through the Divine Body Realm and goes through Heavenly Tribulation again, however, that would take too long. However, soon, an idea came to his mind as he knew that the opportunity he wanted would soon arrive in front of him, so he muttered with an evil smile, "Let's see if the fish was hooked by my bait after so many years."
