Hell Emperor.

Chapter 317: Shura Jie - Innate Magical Powers

Ye Jie, who was using the Shrinking Stone to teleport, suddenly felt an irresistible force pulling his body and throwing him out of the teleporting state.

With Ye Jie's current state of mind, he remained calm even after encountering this incident. He dodged in the air and soon steadied his feet, his face slightly solemn:

"The transfer was interrupted? How could this happen? Could it be that the Hades Formation has not been completely repaired... No, it seems more like there is a problem with the location of the transfer."

After some thought, Ye Jie quickly found the answer.

The movement of the shrinking stone, with the help of the power of the underworld formation, can only allow ghosts to move to a complete piece of land. It cannot be moved to the sky or into the void.

"It seems that the earthquake caused by the earth dragon turning over caused the land at the end of the movement to collapse, forming a void. This caused the movement to be interrupted and threw me out."

Ye Jie leaned down and placed his palms against the ground. As expected, he could feel continuous vibrations coming from not far away.

"Although the transfer was interrupted, I was able to travel thousands of miles to the core area close to the epicenter before that, which saved me a lot of time."

Ye Jie moved his gaze forward, his vision seemed to span dozens of miles, and he saw the mess caused by the earth dragon.

He perceived that there were a large number of remains of the dead ahead, waiting for the ghost to come and collect their souls. That was exactly the place he was looking for.

Ye Jie used his body skills and ran like a dragon, and soon arrived outside a village that had turned into ruins.

Most of the houses in the village were built with wood, rarely bricks and stones, and could not withstand earthquakes caused by earthworms at all. Many dead people were buried under their houses, and few were directly swallowed by the cracks in the ground. From a distance, there were fires in several places, and thick smoke was constantly rolling up into the sky.

In the center of the village, survivors gathered in an open area for shelter. Crying sounds could be heard from time to time, and they were helpless in the face of the growing fire.

Ye Jie sighed. Even though he came here to collect souls, he couldn't bear to let the disaster spread.

"Divine Dragon Transformation - Ride a dragon to the sky."

As Ye Jie slowly practiced his skills, suddenly a strong wind blew, and a cold wind carrying the energy of a divine dragon blew straight down. The raging fire was extinguished, leaving only sporadic sparks still burning.

After putting out the fire, Ye Jie looked at the ruins in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Now, although he is the Lord of Yama Palace, he has never properly learned the soul-collecting technique.

Some ghost messengers who are skilled in collecting souls can ignore obstacles and directly collect the souls of the dead trapped under the ruins. Their method is convenient and fast. Ye Jie has not learned this kind of skills and can only stare at the ruins in front of him.

If Ye Jie wants to collect the soul, his palm must touch the forehead of the deceased. However, most of the deceased are still buried under the ruins, and Ye Jie can do nothing about it.

"Forget it. The mortals here can't see me. If someone suddenly sees the collapsed house being lifted up by an invisible force, who knows what will happen. In order to avoid panic, it is better to wait until the earth dragon is far away and the earthquake is over. When the people here have collected the corpses in the ruins, we can come to collect the souls."

A hint of worry flashed across Ye Jie's eyes, and he had to give up the idea of ​​clearing the ruins.

Just as he was about to look around, he suddenly heard bursts of screams. The survivors who had gathered for shelter heard the news and soon gathered in front of a collapsed house. The noise continued to spread.

Ye Jie took a quick look and understood what had happened.

Outside the collapsed house, a woman ran anxiously, pleading with tears on her face, gathering everyone here. In the ruins, the sound of barely audible groans of pain continued to be heard. Looking closely, a young girl was seen being crushed under heavy beams, with only her upper body exposed.

The beam weighed more than a thousand pounds, and the heavy pressure made the girl unable to struggle. She had pigtails, her face was pale, and her breath was weak. Her occasional coughs were mixed with black blood and broken organs. It was obvious that she would not live long.

The woman burst into tears and begged: "I beg you to save my daughter quickly. If you just make a little more effort and remove the beam from her body, she can be saved..."

Everyone moved at the sound, bent down, grabbed the edge of the beam with both hands, and lifted it up with all their strength, the veins on their necks almost popped out, but the beam did not move at all except for shaking off a layer of dust.

How could these mortals lift a beam weighing thousands of pounds, with all the debris pressing on it?
The girl's breath was getting weaker and weaker. Everyone was anxious and unwilling to give up. They tried their best to lift the beam.

Finally, accompanied by the girl's scream of joy, the beam was miraculously lifted several inches by everyone, leaving a gap large enough for them to move. She did not dare to hesitate for a moment and hurriedly pulled the girl out.

The girl looked listless. Even if she was free from the weight of the beam, her body was already exhausted. The crushing of the beam had completely destroyed her body functions, leaving her with only her last breath.

At the moment of life and death, a dark shadow that no longer existed in this world was reflected in her gray eyes. The dark shadow was standing next to the beam. With just a little force from one hand, he lifted the beam weighing thousands of pounds, and was looking at her with eyes that could see through life and death.

"Did you see me? How could it be..."

Ye Jie was stunned. When a person is dying, in addition to the revolving lantern of his present life flashing through his mind, he may also have the chance to see ghosts that were previously invisible. However, such people are quite rare, and they all have more or less innate magical powers to help them.

"No... my daughter..."

With a cry of pain from the girl, she closed her eyes forever.

Ye Jie frowned. It was an unintentional move, but it made him realize something: "Is it because of the innate magical power? Speaking of which, the number of innate magical powers in the current magical power atlas is too small, so even I can't choose a natural magical power. Let me see what kind of natural magical power she has."

Ye Jie walked past the crowd without leaving a trace, holding the seven stitching pages in one hand and placing the other hand on the dead girl's forehead.

Soon, a series of neat words appeared on the seven stitched pages:
[New talent added to the Magical Atlas: Spiritual Affinity.]

[Spiritual Affinity: Sixth-grade talent, improves the perception of spiritual power, and increases the speed of cultivation by 10%.] [Total number of talents in the current Divine Power Atlas: 21]

[To unlock the first innate magical power, you need to record seventy-nine innate magical powers. ]

"Spiritual affinity... no wonder she can see me."

Ye Jie nodded, understanding the situation.

People who are spiritually friendly can sense the invisible flow of spiritual power more easily than ordinary people. When they are on the verge of death, their spiritual consciousness is stimulated to the maximum extent, and they can see ghosts.

Although spiritual affinity is only a sixth-grade talent, it is generally only seen in spirits and monsters, and it is rare in humans. It can be regarded as adding a relatively rare talent to the magical power atlas.

Ye Jie looked at the dead girl. She had only one innate magical power, and she was a sixth-grade reincarnation when she was born.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of reincarnation, the greater the chance of obtaining high-level and powerful talents at birth.

For example, Xia Wei, who was a reincarnated first-grade talent, had nine talents, none of which was lower than the third-grade. This sixth-grade spiritual affinity was undoubtedly not enough in front of Xia Wei.

The talents that can be drawn by the sixth-grade reincarnation are mostly concentrated between the ninth and fifth grades, with a few lucky exceptions.

Among them, the ninth-grade talent has a greater defect. While strengthening a certain ability, it will also cause defects in another ability. For example, the ninth-grade talent: Pig-like rapid progress, the effect is to increase the strength of blood and qi, but it will reduce the comprehension of the skills, and it is impossible to learn advanced skills. It can be said that there are gains and losses.

Since the improvement brought by the ninth-grade talent is limited, the negative effects may be extremely serious. Sometimes, it is better to have no ninth-grade talent at all.

The same is true for seventh and eighth rank talents, except that the negative effects are much less severe. In many cases, the positive effects of enhancing strength far outweigh the negative effects of weakening strength, and are therefore more easily accepted by others. For example, the seventh rank talent: Brave but not wise, has the effect of increasing the power of all skills and not being timid, while the negative effect is that it lacks wisdom and is prone to revealing flaws.

It is not until reaching the sixth level that the innate supernatural power no longer has any negative effects, but only provides pure improvement.

Being able to draw a sixth-grade talent is something to be thankful for for a sixth-grade reincarnated person. The girl in front of him was lucky enough, but compared to Nan Linghe, who was also a sixth-grade reincarnated person but drew a first-grade talent, her luck was not good enough.

Shaking his head, Ye Jie turned his attention to the subsequent records in the Divine Power Atlas.

"I need to collect seventy-nine talents to unlock a talent of my choice. I don't know when I can collect them all..."

With the joint efforts of the seven main accounts, Ye Jie is qualified to modify the talent and supernatural power files, and he also has three talent slots.

However, the modification of innate magical powers requires the record of the magical power atlas. You must record enough innate magical powers in the magical power atlas to unlock the permission to select your own talents.

To unlock a talent of one's own choice, one needs to record a full hundred talents and magical powers, which undoubtedly makes it very difficult for him. It is so difficult to possess one talent, so when will he be able to possess the subsequent talents?

The collection of innate supernatural powers can only be done through the remains of the deceased on earth, or the remains of immortals after their death, and cannot be collected directly from ghosts.

Now, the magical power atlas records twenty-one innate magical powers. Except for the spiritual power affinity from the dead girl in front of him, the other fifteen are all derived from the ingredients of the divine beasts used by Moro when he entertained Ye Jie, and the other five come from the old master of the Golden Wheel Palace.

In the magical power atlas, there are several particularly powerful innate magical powers that make Ye Jie extremely envious, and he can't help but glance over:
[Boundless Ocean: First-class talent, the power of water-based skills is increased by three times. When in the ocean environment, spiritual power will be replenished continuously. When performing water-based skills for the first time in battle, it will trigger the power of tides and summon huge waves based on the current realm to impact the enemy. When about to suffer a fatal injury, transform into water to avoid the attack. After being triggered, Boundless Ocean will be temporarily ineffective and recover after seven days. When in the ocean, the recovery time is shortened to one day. ]

[With a dragon comes spirit: a first-class talent that increases the power of the dragon bloodline. The dragon's power protects all living beings. When someone calls the dragon's name, the dragon can clearly sense it no matter where it is, and can bless the caller's body to fight. ]

【Fu Fa Yuan Tong: First-class talent, greatly improves the ability to comprehend the way of talismans. Every time you draw a talisman, increase the probability of making a variant spiritual talisman by 30%, and can draw a variant forbidden ancient talisman. When drawing a talisman that has been drawn, there will be no mistakes, and the drawing speed will be increased by 90%. 】

Among these innate magical powers, the boundless sea belongs to the mythical beast Heluo fish, which can not only greatly enhance the power of water-based skills, but also make it invincible as long as it stays in the ocean. The spirit of the dragon belongs to the mythical beast Jiuxiao Shenlong. Those who worship the dragon can get the dragon's protection in times of crisis. These two mythical beasts became Moro's meal, and Ye Jie was lucky enough to have some.

As for the mastery of talismans, that is the talent of the old Golden Wheel Palace Master.

Ye Jie had seen him create weapons by scattering talismans, and even built a talisman weapon hall in the Golden Wheel Palace. However, the old Golden Wheel Palace Master's attainments in the art of talismans were not very high. Although he had top-level talent, he did not delve deeper into the art of talismans, and the talent instead benefited Ye Jie.

These top-level talents are all unique abilities that are the envy of others and cannot be obtained no matter how high the price is.

Innate supernatural powers are innate powers that are determined by God when a creature is born, and there is no way to change them from then on. If you don't have innate supernatural powers, you can only blame yourself for not having accumulated enough virtue in your previous life, and you can't blame others.

However, with the combined efforts of the seven main accounts, Ye Jie gained the power to modify the talent files.

In the past, Ye Jie had no talent and no hope of cultivation. Even if he wasted hundreds or thousands of years, he could not reach a higher level. People without talent were destined to fail in cultivation. Most of those ghost messengers like Ye Jie who were reincarnated as seventh, eighth or ninth grade in their previous lives had accumulated enough merit to re-enter reincarnation and put their hopes on the next life. It was impossible for Ye Jie not to envy those gifted people with top talents.

Now, the power of innate magical powers has been opened to Ye Jie. He only needs to continue recording the seventy-nine new innate magical powers in the magical power atlas, and then he can choose one of them as his own innate magical power, and thus personally experience the power of top-level talents.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became full of energy. Most people with top talents have achieved success in cultivation. As long as he looks for more high-level practitioners or even the remains of immortals, he will not have trouble recording their talents and magical powers.

"Come to think of it... Am I the only one who can record innate magical powers? I can ask my ghost messengers to record it, so it should be no problem..."

Ye Jie's mouth twitched. It was said that the complete form of the magical power atlas, which contained all the talents in the world, was completed by the previous Hades Emperor. There are so many magical powers in this world, and there are more than tens of thousands of records in the magical power atlas. Could it be that the Hades Emperor had to record them one by one? It must be completed by all the ghosts together.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie also turned his attention to the girl who had a spiritual affinity and talent but unfortunately died. He stretched out his hand, covered the girl's forehead, and slowly spoke:
"The soul is back."
