Divine energy

This so-called divine energy was related to gods, and this energy was above all other energy.
When cultivators reached the peak, they would ascend to become immortals or gods. But before that, they would have already touched upon the air of immortals and gods.
For example, Life Star experts could possess the slightest immortal aura. But that kind of aura was truly just an aura and was not the true power of immortals or gods. It could not be used to attack others, nor could it be used to protect themselves. However, it was this slightest aura that allowed them to use quasi divine items.
Quasi divine items were the result of ascenders leaving behind weapons with the slightest trace of divine energy. That was what gave them their divine nature and such high intelligence.
However, quasi divine items were normally just some protective tools left behind by an ascender for their descendants. They weren't their true wealth.
== Ascension ==
People were all selfish. If an ascender was willing to part with part of their divine soul and divine blood to empower a weapon, such an item would not be a quasi divine item but a half-step divine item.
However, that would cause their power to drop. Ascending was not as simple as simply wanting to ascend. It involved tribulation.
Ascension and anything related to it only existed in stories. After the great battle of the immortal era, there were no confirmed cases of people passing the ascension tribulation.
It wasn't that their cultivation bases weren't high enough, but that people who reached that realm didn't even go through their tribulation, because ever since the immortal war, those who underwent the final tribulation were all turned to dust beneath the divine lightning.
As for after the last dark era, let alone someone attempting the tribulation, there weren't even any rumors of people who managed to cultivate to that level.
== Snowball effect ==
divine items were classified into different grades.
Only at this time did Long Chen learn that the divine pool had the effect of nourishing divine items. But not every sect was qualified to possess divine items. Many sects could only use Ancestral items.
The divine energy within divine items could be linked to a sect's karmic luck, their heaven and earth divine pool.
This so-called maintaining karmic luck was mutually beneficial. The divine item protected the sect, whose divine pool nourished the divine item. The more the sect flourished, the greater its divine pool grew. Like rolling a snowball, they continued to grow stronger.
That was one case, but another case was for a divine item to gather faith energy.
