The Eight-Divisional Pagoda is one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities.
It was created by an ancestor of the Ancient Buddha Clan who unfortunately died in a battle with the Sky Monarchs of the Fiend Clans and the Eight-Divisional Pagoda was lost.
When Mu Chen obtained the inheritance from Pagoda Ancestor, he found out that although it was called a Divine Ability, it’s more like a Peerless Saint Rank Artefact, since its core consisted of eight Pagoda Pearls refined from Monarch level Fiends. One did not need to cultivate it, only inherited the eight pearls to possess the Eight-Divisional Pagoda.
Unless Mu Chen has reached Heavenly Sovereign realm, he would have to use Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to activate the pearls. It’s also impossible to handle the pearls unless the inheritor was from the Ancient Buddha Clan and had refined the Divine Pagoda form of the Great Pagoda Art, as the sealing power of the Divine Pagoda was the key in handling the pearls. A minimum cultivation of the Perfect Earth Sovereign was required for any form of attack.
