Chapter 581: Chapter 271: Enlightenment Genius Jack Clark, Things Have Changed (Request for Monthly Votes)

When the grand battle at the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s side ended.

Late at night, in the room, Jack Clark looked down at his palm.

In his hand, streaks of blue arcs circled, constantly leaping, converging, gradually condensing into a strand of blue-black lightning that emitted a destructive aura.

Boom!

The forcefully condensed blue-black Thunder exploded, instantly brightening the room, with arcs of electricity spreading out, piercing through the air, emitting a fizzing noise and the smell of scorching.

Jack Clark frowned slightly, “As expected, it’s not that easy.”

The core runes of his Combat Divine Body were all inherited from the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, with strength passed down in the same vein.

Therefore, when the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s major talents were strengthened to top-tier, it was theoretically possible for the talents fused with the Combat Shadow to ascend to top-tier as well.

Especially since Jack Clark was the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon himself, his grasp over the power of the Five Top-level Talents was intuitive.

Just like with Cultivation Methods, although many people cultivate the same True Martial, slight differences exist in each person’s practice after success.

Not to mention the difference between humans and Giant Beasts, aside from the Core Runes, the overall structure of the sequence chains that composed the forces were worlds apart, and the number of Talent Sequence Chains covering the entire body of the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon were counted by the tens of millions.

Just now, Jack Clark had ‘contemplated’ for several hours and only managed to obtain a semblance of the Annihilation True Thunder, which exploded as soon as it was condensed due to unstable energy.

If this problem had arisen before, Jack Clark would have already given up, given that he had never been good at ‘comprehension’.

Nor did he have that much time to waste.

But now… With a thought, Jack Clark called up the attribute page, his gaze falling on the remaining 5682 Attribute points, and immediately, a row of transparent text emerged before his eyes.

“Burning Attribute points can enter an epiphany state, greatly enhancing your cognitive understanding of all things and forces in the world.”

“Each epiphany initiation requires the consumption of 1000 points, until the Attribute Energy is completely burned out, or the user chooses to exit the state of enlightenment.”

This was the change to the attribute page after breaking through to the Seventh Layer of Heaven, using the burning of Attribute points as the price to enter the enlightenment state, compensating for Jack Clark’s weakness in comprehension.

In fact, after reaching the Seventh Layer of Heaven, the feature of strengthening Cultivation Methods with Attribute points had already become useless to Jack Clark.

Because the cultivation at the Seventh Layer of Heaven was about gradually mirroring oneself, adjusting and optimizing the structure of the Combat Shadow, and simultaneously turning the intangible into tangible.

When Jack Clark cultivated to the Pinnacle of Seventh Layer of Heaven, and the Combat Shadow and his body achieved a perfect fit, he would naturally be able to merge and break through to the Eight Layer Heaven.

The same applied to the Ninth Heavens: in the Eight Layer Heaven, the body would be remodeled, with the ‘Innate’ talents that were born, to construct domains and step into the Nine Layers.

So after reaching high-order, the specific concept of ‘Cultivation Methods’ was already obsolete, which is why there is no university for Martial Cultivation, since there is nothing left to teach.

And the so-called Top-tier Secret Manuals are just the paths that predecessors have written, for the later generations to follow.

Therefore, after reaching the high-order, talents become even more important, and those with ordinary qualifications might barely break through to the Early Sevenfold Sky with the help of Secret Books but will find the way forward extremely difficult.

Not to mention after becoming King-level Strong Ones.

In that realm, everyone is perfecting their own rules, valuing talent even more, or to put it differently, those with inadequate talent could not climb to be kings.

It’s just that the price of this new enlightenment function is a bit steep, costing 1000 points every time.

As for the option to save Attribute points and not use them, instead keeping them to strengthen the Soul Talent and see if it could improve enlightenment, Jack Clark actually held no hope for it.

Because as long as his soul was split into two, this problem would never be resolved.

Even if he were to enhance his Soul Talent to above top-tier in the future, Jack Clark felt it might only serve to strengthen the connection between the body and the Avatar or provide a stronger feedback.

With these thoughts in mind, Jack Clark’s voice echoed in his mind: “Burn 1000 Attribute points to initiate the epiphany state.”

Boom!

As 1000 Attribute points burned away, a mysterious power enveloped Jack Clark, his consciousness thundered, and his thinking became incredibly lucid and sensitive in an instant.

With a single thought, tens of thousands of ideas flashed by, and many issues that he couldn’t understand before became clear in an instant.

In the state of epiphany, not only was Jack Clark’s thinking frighteningly fast, but he also possessed a special sort of insight that connected one thing to another, with ramifications that extended tenfold—and this was the most important part.

The astonishing effectiveness left Jack Clark somewhat surprised.

Not wanting to waste time, the Combat Divine Body’s shadow emerged in Jack Clark’s mind, magnified rapidly, and transformed into tens of thousands of Rune Sequence Chains.

These Rune Sequence Chains then divided further, revealing the core structures of Strength, Defense, Swiftness, Thunder, and the Golden Flame Talent.

Jack Clark’s gaze first settled on Thunder.

Under the frightening speed of thought, following that flicker of inspiration in the depths of the mind, the core rune of Thunder evolved at a terrifying pace, becoming more complex and powerful.

The astonishing efficiency left Jack Clark somewhat in awe.

Of course, the extraordinary effect was related to Jack Clark’s early ‘mastery’ of the Annihilation True Thunder. It was more about decoding and reshaping the information of the already known and mastered power than about comprehension.

After all, enlightenment does not come from imagination.

For instance, if you witness a heavy rain falling, you cannot gain insight into the power of flames, nor can you comprehend the intent of the spear from practicing the sword.

Even for Jane Aiken, who naturally possessed the talent for comprehension, she needed to observe the Space Cracks to understand the Space-tearing Sword Intent that could rend everything.

While Jack Clark was immersed in the state of comprehension, the Heavenly Energy within a kilometer radius became turbulent, swarmed over, and formed an energy vortex above the roof, pouring down in reverse.

Boom!

Golden flame erupted from Jack Clark, cultivating at a startling speed, and streams of the Power of Heaven and Earth condensed and merged into the Rune Illusions in the Sea of Consciousness.
