Chapter 398: Chapter 398

An ethereal wind swept through, stirring the surrounding fairy fog and revealing a cluster of palaces carved from white jade. Below the palaces, an infinite starry sky seemed to unfold, with resplendent stars all around. This place was home to countless massive planets orbiting the Star Region, and these palace clusters resembled stars crowning the moon. Everyone there was actually situated above the Endless Milky Way! All their bodies floated in the void.

"What place is this? And this elder, what a formidable expert!" Wen Zhixing felt a sudden jolt of alertness. The scene in this vision... it can’t be real, can it? This place shouldn’t be Zhongzhou anymore. Or rather, it’s probably not within the Da Zhou Dynasty, not even on this continent. I even suspect this place is fairyland. The Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, though strong, still feels like part of the mortal realm; it hasn’t truly broken free from the mortal coil. But this place... it feels like a true realm of immortals. It’s not just this elder; everyone here seems to have shed their worldly shackles. Of course, the likelihood of this being *the* fairyland is very small. Or rather, this place is a true fairyland. Possibly some fairy mansion.

"Master, I have now cultivated the Great Displacement Skill."

Just then, a disciple stood up, his face alight with arrogance. Space Power surged around him, and in an instant, he disappeared from his original position. In the next moment, he returned to the same place. Seeing this, the white-haired Taoist nodded in satisfaction, loudly praising him.

Meanwhile, other disciples were more reserved, simply nodding towards the Taoist before them without any intention of showing off their mastery of the secret skill. Of course, some disciples looked ashamed but still promised they would definitely succeed in their cultivation.

Only one person was completely out of sync with the others. This handsome individual had his hands crossed before him, a faint smell of alcohol wafting from his body. He appeared to be meditating with closed eyes, yet his head was tilted to one side. His mouth was even slightly agape, saliva dribbling freely.

"Chengye, have you managed to cultivate it?" the white-haired Taoist suddenly asked, fixing his gaze on Li Chengye, his tone carrying a hint of sternness.

Li Chengye jolted awake. He met his Master’s severe gaze and, shrinking his neck, stammered, "Um... should I start learning now?"

"You have fifteen minutes. If you cannot learn it, three years in the confinement room."

"Ah? You can’t be serious, right?" Li Chengye was astonished.

"Ten years in confinement!"

"Yes, I’ll start practicing right now!" Li Chengye panicked.

The other disciples wore expressions of schadenfreude; some even covered their mouths to snicker. Excellent. With Li Chengye around, he was great at drawing the Master’s fire.

Li Chengye quickly took out the secret skill jade slip he had received earlier and began to comprehend it. However, no matter how he pondered, he was unable to grasp its intricacies.

Soon, the fifteen minutes were almost up.

"Daosheng, take your junior brother to the confinement room..." the white-haired Taoist began to speak, a peculiar glint in his eyes. I wonder if this time... it will be the same as before.

The next instant, a unique aura erupted from Li Chengye. It was Space Power. Li Chengye’s entire being began to grow faint and illusory.

"No way! Did he actually manage to cultivate it again?" the surrounding disciples exclaimed, their eyes wide. Some even looked indignant. "Are you kidding me? This is the Great Displacement Skill! It’s not something you can master in fifteen minutes!"

However, the next moment, Li Chengye’s figure vanished from his spot and reappeared a thousand li away.

The white-haired Taoist remained expressionless. With a gentle wave of his large hand, a scene appeared before everyone: it was Li Chengye, appearing in various locations one after another.

"He really mastered it," many disciples murmured, staring in stunned amazement. Sometimes, comparing oneself to others was simply maddening. Even the most Talented disciple among them had spent several days just to barely grasp the basics of this secret skill. And this wasn’t the first time Li Chengye had quickly mastered a secret skill of this caliber.

The disciple who had spoken out arrogantly earlier now clenched his fists, his eyes dimming. Just what level of Talent does this Li Chengye possess? If he trained diligently, that would be one thing. But he always has this nonchalant attitude—how could that not be infuriating?

This isn’t a secret skill... it’s a Divine Ability...

The others might not have realized it, but the white-haired Taoist, their Master, had noticed something amiss. They might not see it, but how could he fail to understand? Li Chengye hadn’t mastered this secret skill at all. In that final, crucial moment, a Divine Ability had suddenly manifested within his body. It was extremely similar in function to the Great Displacement Skill. It was as if, pushed to the brink, his body had instinctively learned the technique, transforming it into an innate Divine Ability for Li Chengye to use.

"This kid..." The white-haired Taoist’s gaze turned somewhat complicated. Forget his other disciples; even he often found his understanding of the world shaken because of this one. What an absolute monster!

With that, the vision slowly faded away. Wen Zhixing now understood the entire sequence of events.

This Li Chengye’s Talent... it’s utterly terrifying...

Wen Zhixing felt as though he had experienced it all firsthand. He had personally witnessed what true Talent meant. Li Chengye’s body could actually transform something incredibly complex into a physical instinct.

What a blatant cheater! An absolute hack! Wen Zhixing complained inwardly.

Just then, panel prompts popped up.
