"Now that you’ve come this far, you’re only one step away from condensing Divine Skills. The few secrets on your body—there’s no need to care too much about them."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Indeed, he was too fixated on "Comprehension."
But this Comprehension, in the eyes of others, seemed to be something innate.
The only difference was that many people’s Comprehension had already become fixed.
But Lu Changsheng’s Comprehension could continually improve.
Before, Lu Changsheng had to conceal and obscure it.
Because that was when he was weak.
Now, however, he could no longer be considered weak.
There was simply no need to hide anymore.
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment. The Elder Lu Tong standing before him seemed kind-hearted, appearing amicable and friendly in demeanor.
With this in mind, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Elder, may I ask how to condense Divine Skills?"
Achieving Divine Skills—this was also the purpose of Lu Changsheng’s journey.
"Lu Changsheng, you should be familiar with Golden Core True Masters, right? A single Golden Core swallowed into the abdomen—your fate is now determined by you, not by the heavens."
"In the Immortal Dao System, Golden Core True Masters can also be referred to as those who attain the Golden Core Dao Fruit. The so-called ’attaining the Dao’ in this context refers to Golden Core True Masters."
"Our martial arts work the same way. Once Divine Skills are condensed, it is equivalent to achieving the Divine Power Fruit."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Elder Lu Tong’s explanation was detailed.
These were common knowledge.
But common knowledge could sometimes be crucial.
"Golden Core True Masters condense Golden Cores—that’s defying the heavens to change destiny."
"Divine Skills work similarly. The Laws perceived in the Dao Foundation Realm ultimately only exist within the brain domain; while they can manifest, they are not the same as the genuine Laws of the external world. It’s akin to us preemptively ’simulating’ the Laws."
"To condense Divine Skills, the Laws within our brain domain must collide with the external world’s true Laws, eventually extracting a sliver of them and merging this with our brain’s simulation of the Laws."
"Then, these genuine Laws from the external world gradually fuse, reorganize, and arrange themselves to form a Divine Power Fruit. It’s quite similar to the cultivation of Divine Arts—if you’ve ever inferred Divine Arts yourself, you’ll understand better."
"Divine Arts, in a certain sense, are simulations for condensing Divine Skills."
"With a Divine Power Fruit, the potential of your Divine Skills is essentially determined. At that point, you’ll need certain special materials to fully manifest the Divine Power Fruit as genuine Divine Skills, thereby acquiring earth-shaking, awe-inspiring power!"
When Elder Lu Tong finished speaking, it was as if a flash of lightning had struck through Lu Changsheng’s mind, and he suddenly saw all things clearly.
The path of martial arts was step by step, interlinked.
It was not that each realm existed in complete isolation from the previous ones.
It was not like that at all.
On the contrary, the realms of martial arts were intricately connected.
For example, the cultivation of Laws in the Dao Foundation Realm and the inference of Divine Arts.
All of these essentially laid the groundwork for condensing Divine Skills.
The more Divine Arts one cultivated, especially complex ones, the greater the assistance they provide in condensing Divine Skills.
Only Perfect-Level Laws qualify to extract even the slightest authentic Laws from the external world and merge them, transforming them into the martial artist’s true Laws.
"So, inferring Divine Arts is very important?"
"Yes, inferring Divine Arts is crucial."
"After all, the process of inference is, in a way, equivalent to condensing Divine Skills."
"Divine Skills are divided into Minor Divine Skills, Great Divine Skills, and Infinite Divine Skills."
"Typically, the Divine Power Fruit condensed is a Minor Divine Skill. Only if there’s immense potential could there be a chance to evolve into Great Divine Skills."
"But potential is closely tied to the Laws involved in the condensation of Divine Skills, and also to the prior inference of Divine Arts."
"Therefore, if you haven’t inferred any Divine Arts beforehand, you absolutely must infer some before condensing Divine Skills, even if the Divine Art is overly simple."
"On the one hand, it leaves some foundational heritage for the Sect. On the other hand, it also accumulates experience for yourself in condensing Divine Skills, while also increasing the potency of those skills."

It turned out that condensing Divine Skills was much like cultivating Divine Arts.
Speaking of inferring Divine Arts...
Wasn’t Lu Changsheng’s Small Five Elements Annihilation Divine Art precisely something he inferred on his own?
Moreover, it was an exceptional Composite Divine Technique.
Of course, Elder Lu Tong was utterly unaware that Lu Changsheng had inferred the Small Five Elements Annihilation Divine Art.
After all, Elder Lu Tong hadn’t been monitoring Lu Changsheng in the Ancient Domain’s third level.
Nor had Lu Changsheng displayed the Small Five Elements Annihilation Divine Art at the Heavenly Sect’s mountain gates in the Ancient Domain.
"Elder, among the various Elders of the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain, how many have mastered Great Divine Skills or condensed Great Divine Dao Fruits?"
"Condensed Great Divine Dao Fruits?"
Elder Lu Tong laughed, "In the entire Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain, and even across the Ancient Domain, no martial artist has condensed Great Divine Dao Fruits!"
"Great Divine Dao Fruits... they are not something that anyone in the Ancient Domain could condense."
"Practically all sects in the Ancient Domain only manage to condense Minor Divine Skills. Though even among Minor Divine Skills, their differences are vast, with disparity in power that can be worlds apart."
"Divine Skills that are freshly cultivated certainly won’t exhibit much power. They must be continually cultivated over time."
"In short, you don’t need to overthink at this stage—you should simply focus on successfully condensing your Divine Power Fruit."
Lu Changsheng understood.
"How many Divine Power Fruits can be condensed?"
Lu Changsheng asked again.
"That depends on how many Laws you possess."
"Different combinations of Laws can condense various Divine Skills. Alternatively, each individual Law can condense a single Divine Skill, but the power of a Divine Skill based on only one Law tends to be relatively small."
