Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 563: Chapter 345: The World’s Greatest Unusual Healing Skill

On horseback, Wei Fan remained silent for a while.

The process of breaking through to the Divine Realm and Martial Venerable involves danger, but truth be told, he hadn’t heard of many people dying due to failure in breaking through. However, the consequences of failure in breaking through to the Martial Saint realm were truly terrifying.

A fifty percent mortality rate; even if one survives, they end up half-crippled. It’s simply horrifying.

"So that’s why the Holy Sect doesn’t have as many Martial King Ninth-layer powerhouses as theoretically expected; they all died in the process of breaking through to Martial Saint..."

His expression didn’t look good, because he too would face this step one day.

Feng Hua nodded: "Saint Son... In the Holy Sect, the Saint Son basically never gets demoted; most of them directly die during breakthroughs, so in the Holy Sect, a constant rotation of Saint Sons doesn’t exist.

The more talented and potential a person has, the higher the mortality rate in breakthrough failure to the Martial Saint.

It’s said that those who reach Martial King Ninth Layer by fifty years old, because their potential is too strong, have almost no chance of survival if they fail.

On the contrary, those who take two or three hundred years to break through have the highest chances of survival upon failure."

Wei Fan’s mind cleared up many doubts.

Although there are multiple Martial Saints in Beiding Continent, relative to the massive base of Martial Kings, it’s still too few.

To sit as a Saint Son of the Holy Sect, one is almost always a demon who breaks through to Martial King under twenty years old, reaching Martial King Ninth Layer before fifty.

And as long as they are under five hundred years old, they can attempt to breakthrough to Martial Saint.

He previously thought that hundreds of years should be enough for those Saint Sons to break through to Martial Saint given their talent, but in reality, there are not many Martial Saints in Beiding Continent, and most Holy Sects have only one Martial Saint.

It turns out that the chance to break through to Martial Saint is only once; once you fail, you don’t get another chance to try again. It isn’t like a five hundred-year period where you can attempt as many times as you wish.

"So once you reach Martial King Ninth Layer, don’t rush to break through to Martial Saint. You must be fully prepared in all aspects before attempting. You have only one chance."

Feng Hua advised Wei Fan, if it weren’t for discussing this today, given Wei Fan’s character, he might just rush into breaking through to Martial Saint within at most ten days after reaching Martial King Ninth Layer.

Wei Fan nodded solemnly; he didn’t want to die through Transformation Dao: "What about Demon Fiends, is their mortality rate as high when breaking through to Demon Saint?"

Feng Hua nodded: "It’s the same; the failure mortality rate is also high, similar to the Human Race."

"Are there any ways or items to ensure failure doesn’t backlash, or that can increase the chances of breakthrough?" Wei Fan asked.

This is the most important thing. If it exists, then it is worth finding it. So many Saint Sons, a hundred years for one Holy Sect, and among ten or more, there might not even be one who becomes a Martial Saint. It shows how difficult it is to breakthrough to Martial Saint.

These people probably don’t have talents inferior to his; there might even be many stronger than him, but they all failed, proving that breakthrough isn’t just about talent.

Having something to prevent backlash equates to an extra chance.

Feng Hua nodded without hesitation, "Indeed there is, but they are too rare. If they appear, even Martial Saints may participate in the scramble."

Wei Fan’s eyes lit up: "Tell me what these items are."

Martial Saints getting involved doesn’t matter to him. Though he doesn’t want to clash with them now, it doesn’t mean he fears them. To progress in Martial Dao, he wouldn’t hesitate to reveal all his cards; after all, without life, cards are of no use.

Feng Hua laughed boldly: "You want to obtain these things; they are nearly legendary, appearing only once in hundreds or even thousands of years."

As she spoke, she looked Wei Fan up and down, "But you’re lucky; Thunder Mountain Celestial... Nine-Nine True Skill is yours. Perhaps there’s a chance for you to encounter them. Actually, when you think about it, there are quite a few of these things."

There aren’t no ways or items to avoid backlash, but these things are exceedingly rare, forcing most people to rely entirely on themselves to breakthrough to Martial Saint.

Zhi Hua also laughed: "Indeed Wei Fan has good fortune; perhaps you tell him now, and in the next moment, news of these things might appear. In Jianghu, who knows what will happen next?"

"Then I’ll say, if I miss anything, Zhi Hua, help me fill in!"

She slowed down the horse’s speed: "First, let’s talk about cultivation techniques.

Half of those who fail at breaking through to Martial Saint won’t die but will suffer from Qi Blood decline and significant damage to origins. Such injuries aren’t ordinary, but Dao injuries, nearly impossible to heal or recover. That’s why even if you survive, you can’t attempt further breakthrough to Martial Saint."

Wei Fan nodded, he realized such injuries are probably irreversible. Otherwise, with the power of Martial King powerhouses, even if they’re just a head remaining, they can regrow their bodies, so such injuries shouldn’t be unhealable.

Dao injuries involve terrifying wounds to the physical body’s origin and the primordial spirit foundation, even linked to the intangible Dao, such injuries are beyond the capabilities of even Martial Saint powerhouses.

Feng Hua continued: "However, in the Five Great Domains, there is an unparalleled strange skill called the Heaven-mending Technique. This technique was reportedly created to address the situation of breakthrough failure at the Martial Saint realm; it is the world’s premier healing miracle skill. Cultivating under it not only ensures survival despite breakthrough failure but also complements the origin, repairing Dao injuries.

Relying on this technique, it is said that one can attempt the Martial Saint realm dozens or even hundreds of times."

Dozens of times or hundreds of attempts at the Martial Saint realm, it’s hard not to become a Martial Saint.

Wei Fan was somewhat moved: "Such a strange skill actually exists!"

But the next moment, recalling Feng Hua’s words, he understood that even if the Heaven-mending Technique wasn’t lost, it was also untraceable. Such divine technique is virtually a Martial Saint creator, ensuring a sect could birth multiple Martial Saints.

Whoever obtains it wouldn’t dare declare it to the outside world, otherwise, it would be seeking death.

Just like him, he could show Feng Hua the Human Emperor Bell, he could tell Feng Hua he had acquired the Nine-Nine True Skill, he could even share the Scripture of the Three Emperors with Feng Hua, and could use the Profound Yellow Tripod right in front of Feng Hua, but he had never dared to reveal obtaining the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations.

This Heaven-mending Technique’s status in the Five Great Domains is definitely comparable to the unparalleled martial art of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations.

Zhi Hua spoke at this moment: "I heard the last appearance of the Heaven-mending Technique was in our Eastern Domain, but over the past millennia, no one has been reported to obtain it."

Feng Hua nodded: "Such unparalleled strange skills aren’t likely lost; they should be hidden after being acquired by some power. Let’s continue talking.

To avoid dying after breakthrough failure at the Martial Saint realm and be able to continue trying for Martial Saint, the second item is called the Dao Bone!"

"Dao Bone?" Wei Fan looked at Feng Hua in confusion.

"Dao Bone, this is an extremely rare item. The Five Great Domains are in constant conflict between the Human Race and Demon Fiend, and both Martial Saints and Demon Saints frequently join the battles. Coupled with friction between various powers, contests for treasures and divine skills, it’s hard for a powerhouse at the Martial Saint level to die peacefully; most perish in battle.

Dao Bone appears on those Martial Saints who die peacefully; towards the end of life, some Martial Saints leave no corpse but directly transform into Dao.

Among them, some Martial Saints turn into ashes and vanish, but others leave behind a bone during their transformation. This Dao Bone can ensure the Martial King Ninth Layer doesn’t die during breakthrough, and won’t suffer backlash.

However, even among ten peacefully dying Martial Saints, a Dao Bone may not appear, not to mention the rarity of peacefully dying Martial Saints."

Even if they appear, such things wouldn’t wander into Jianghu.

Such items equate to one more chance at a breakthrough for those demons having one experience of breakthrough; the second one most likely succeeds.

Wei Fan shook his head; acquiring a Dao Bone is nearly impossible.

"The third item is the Heavenly Saint Flower. The Heavenly Saint Flower is relatively defying the heavens; consuming it at the Martial King Ninth Layer allows immediate ascension to Martial Saint, eliminating worries about breakthrough failure, death, or great damage to the origin.

The last appearance of the Heavenly Saint Flower was a thousand years ago in the Central Domain."

Wei Fan was speechless; these items are increasingly miraculous, but equally rare, no wonder Feng Hua previously commented about him.

"Is there anything else?" he asked.

Feng Hua nodded: "There is also an elixir called the Guardian Dao Pill; consuming it during attempts at the Martial Saint realm ensures no backlash. Many places have this elixir recipe, but one main ingredient called the Nirvana Fruit is rarer than the Heavenly Saint Flower.

The last item is the Holy Blood Fruit; this item only grows on the corpse of a Demon Saint or Martial Saint, maturing over a thousand years, blooming for a thousand years, and bearing fruit for another thousand.

If consumed, it can increase the chances of breaking through to Martial Saint by fifty percent. Hmm... that’s all I know."

She looked at Zhi Hua, asking if there were any additions, Zhi Hua shook her head indicating none.

Wei Fan remained silent for a long time, his previous ambition was extinguished; even if he wishes to search for these things, there is no pathway.

"Actually, the simplest way to break through to Martial Saint is to cultivate the strongest Heart Method, enhancing potential and foundation, and cultivating the Martial King realm to true Perfection; this way, the chances of failure are greatly reduced.

If you become timid, you won’t be able to go all out during the breakthrough, which is dangerous. Make thorough preparations before attempting a breakthrough.

If uncertain, spend several more decades cultivating, carefully refining your own Dao."

Few in the Five Great Domains dare claim they can definitely breakthrough to Martial Saint, but even with such a low success rate, countless Martial Kings still bravely attempt this realm.

Some Martial Kings, concerned about external influences on their mental state, even avoid learning about these items, knowing there’s almost no chance of acquiring them; they’d rather make the final effort.

Feng Hua, having vast knowledge, reminded Wei Fan once more.

In terms of talent, she might not match Wei Fan, but in knowledge, she confidently surpasses him by a mile.
