Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 564: Chapter 346: Thunder Body Refining, Supreme Attack and Kill Martial Technique

"I’m not afraid; I’m just being cautious. Even without these things, I would still strive for the Saint Realm!"

Throughout the journey, his determination in the pursuit of Dao is unshakable, not inferior to anyone.

So many people, knowing the terrifying consequences of striving for the Saint Realm, still forge ahead without hesitation. If others dare, he certainly would not be afraid.

Compared to those people, he actually has more confidence, with a pile of Divine Skills, and each realm persistently cultivated to Perfection before breaking through, plus his panel, he is not afraid.

If he does not become a Martial Saint, death would eventually find him; Wei Fan can understand this reasoning.

The three of them galloped ahead, raising clouds of dust along the way.

Soon, a picturesque and spiritually vibrant area appeared before Wei Fan’s eyes.

Here, the mountain ranges rise and fall like dragons, mist steaming, countless ancient trees standing tall.

A surging river, with angry waves rolling tumultuously, converges into a gigantic lake.

"This place is nice. I plan to retreat here and comprehend the Nine-Nine True Skill!"

Wei Fan leapt off the horse, his Heart Spirit stirred.

The scenery here is excellent; though the spirituality is not as abundant as where Holy Sects are located, the scenery is absolutely top-notch, as if stepping into a painting.

"Then let’s stay here for a while. Just as well, I feel I’m about to break through to the Eighth Level of Martial King!"

Zhi Hua also dismounted, gazing at the dragon-like mountains and rivers.

The scenery here is superb; if not for the somewhat thin Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, strong Sects would have occupied it long ago.

The three led their horses through the woods, crossed a gorge, and soon arrived by the lakeside.

The three Demon Horses went off to graze on their own. Although these Demon Beasts do not have high intelligence, they surpass ordinary horses, and with the control of the Beast Ring, after spending some time together, they have gained some Spirituality and would not run away recklessly.

Feng Hua and Zhi Hua enthusiastically entered the forest to chop wood and gather straw for building houses. Wei Fan was not idle either; he began measuring the land to set up arrays to isolate Qi and conceal traces.

The Martial Saint of the Zilan Sect certainly went to the Wilderness, but the situation with the Martial Saint of the Fire Cloud Cave is unknown. He might have gone to the Wilderness or might still be in Nanhe Continent.

If during the retreat, a Martial Saint attacks, he would be fine, but Feng Hua and Zhi Hua could be in danger.

Moreover, setting up arrays is not troublesome for him, as the Array Banners are pre-refined. It would not take long to set them up, and they can be taken away upon leaving.

After half an hour, just as the cottage was about to be completed.

"Boom..."

A massive sound echoed in Wei Fan’s Heart Spirit, causing his Primordial Spirit to shake slightly, as if the sky was about to fall, and the Ten Thousand Dao trembled.

This feeling was very familiar to him, having experienced it more than once.

"Dao Collapse..."

Wei Fan looked up, gazing in the direction of the Wilderness, but his view was blocked by the mountains, and he saw nothing.

Zhi Hua and Feng Hua also stopped their work and looked towards the Wilderness like Wei Fan.

"To think it could have such an impact from so far away!" Wei Fan showed an incredulous expression. The place he is in is more than a million miles apart from the Wilderness.

Feng Hua glanced at Wei Fan: "Do not underestimate Qi Daozhen. In his heyday, destroying a continent with one strike was no difficult feat. It is said that when he died, the collapsing Dao could be seen throughout the Eastern Domain."

Wei Fan was somewhat moved; the ultimate Martial Dao could indeed destroy the heavens and the earth.

Even someone as terrifying as Qi Daozhen was not invincible in the world when he was alive.

"The Dao Collapse has accelerated again, and it seems the end time is advancing. I don’t know how serious the situation is this time."

His thoughts turned; the day Dao Collapse ends will be the time of great chaos in the Wilderness.

Almost all the Martial Saints from Beiding Continent have gone to the Wilderness, not to mention how many Martial Kings, and those Demon Saints, Demon Kings; people from other continents must have gone too.

He aims to protect the Wilderness’s people after the Dao Collapse ends so that his friends would not be affected by the chaos. To do so, he needs at least Martial Saint strength.

Soon, Wei Fan cast this matter aside, no longer paying it any mind. The cottage was quickly completed, he activated the array, and the three of them caught some fish in the lake to make soup. After dinner, they each returned to their own cottage to retreat.

[Nine-Nine True Skill (Uninitiated)]

[Ordinary Power: 1.39 million years]

[Martial King’s Power: 1,100 years]

The process of breaking through to a Martial Saint is fraught with danger; if he fails, his innate talent would likely lead to a backlash causing his demise.

Developing potential and increasing his foundation is the best way to avoid failure, and cultivating Body Martial Arts is urgent for him.

[With a year of Power, you suddenly realize that the process of breaking through to Martial Saint is extremely perilous; a slight mistake could lead to death and Dao disappearance. The Nine-Nine True Skill, this ancient Body Refining Martial Arts, for you, cultivation is urgent.

You recall the complete images seen on Thunder Mountain during a thunderstorm in your mind, activating the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine within your body.

You discover that this mark is different from before; suddenly, the heavenly sound resonates, the divine melody of the Great Dao floods your heart...]

Shua!

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the golden Primordial Spirit opens its eyes at this moment, as if startled awake, appearing to listen attentively.

"It can even stir the golden Primordial Spirit!"

Wei Fan shows a surprised expression. When cultivating the Scripture of the Three Emperors, he had never seen such a scene; only when his battle intent surged during a fierce fight to a certain point would the golden Primordial Spirit open its eyes.

Once its eyes are open, it signifies his will power has erupted to the extreme, and all latent potential is fully activated.

He originally thought that the majestic figure had disappeared, with everything sealed in his memory. It turns out it was in the mark; the mark itself holds all the heritage of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine.

"Ancient martial arts really differ greatly from the martial arts of today!"

This mark is the core, so even if he wants to impart the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine to others now, it’s impossible. Whereas modern martial arts can be penned down in secret manuals, imparting them as one pleases.

As the golden Primordial Spirit opens its eyes, his will spreads throughout his body like a storm, and under the activation of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine, begins tempering his body. The coordination between them is remarkably seamless, as if originally one.

This leaves Wei Fan somewhat uncertain and doubtful—could there be a connection between the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations and the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine? If there is a connection, his acquisition of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine in Thunder Mountain might not be as he imagined it.

It should be noted that this golden Primordial Spirit is hardly driven by the Scripture of the Three Emperors, yet once this mark is activated, the golden Primordial Spirit runs along.

On the mark, golden arcs of electricity emerge, spreading throughout his body. Accompanying the celestial melody, his physical body shudders, with the golden Primordial Spirit resonating in harmony, as if undergoing a cleansing from spirit to flesh.

Power starts rapidly consuming like flowing water, and the movements from the first image in his mind rehearse repeatedly.

Completing each image cultivation yields little power increase, but Wei Fan feels like his foundation is being solidified; plus, he had practiced Horizontal Martial Arts Training before, making these initial few images unlikely to have much effect on him, at most achieving Perfection where previous cultivation techniques didn’t touch.

...

[Ten years of power, you cultivate the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine up to the eighteenth image. You are somewhat puzzled; the eighty-one images of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine seem not as simple as body refining techniques. These movements seem to also evolve into terrifying life-taking techniques]

With previous foundation and a complete cultivation technique, the last time it took him a year to reach the ninth image, this time he only used ten years of power to cultivate to the eighteenth image, further solidifying the foundation.

At this point, he vaguely feels like these movements of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine not only refine the body but also constitute a formidable martial technique.

Yet at this time, he focuses on body refining primarily, without distraction in comprehending the aspects of attack and kill.

Of course, beyond this point, he also notices some things—in fact, ancient martial arts and modern martial arts share some commonalities, as is the case with the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine.

Ninety-nine eighty-one images, every nine forming a whole, correspond to Horizontal Training, Acupoint Opening, Celestial Human, Divine Realm.

Of course, this is a progression in power levels, not strictly this division.

[Twenty years of power, you cultivate the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine to the twenty-eighth image...]

The images from twenty-eight to thirty-six should correspond to the Divine Realm.

Before, Wei Fan’s body refining only reached the Celestial Human Realm, without subsequent cultivation techniques.

Indeed, when cultivating up to the twenty-eighth image, the situation changes suddenly; more arcs of electricity surge from the True Skill Mark, some blood evaporates as if purging impurities.

In an instant, his pores start releasing black smoke; his body appears to shrink, with some substances from bones and muscles disappearing.

Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles on his body; the arcs grow thicker, far surpassing the beginning.

"The cultivation process also enlarges the mark, enlarges the Thunder Seed!"

Wei Fan gains enlightenment in his heart.

The mark inside grows brighter, releasing increasingly stronger electric arcs.

His whole body is in severe pain, as if put inside a furnace for refining, his physical body visibly rapidly enhances, strength and power exhibit marked improvement, origin and life force become more robust.

"There indeed is distinction between body refining and True Qi!"

At the Divine Realm, he considered having cultivated this realm to the extreme with power, yet under the effects of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine, his body still reveals many areas not tempered, and his flesh isn’t perfect.

Obviously, this also demonstrates the might of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine, indeed worthy of claiming to be a divine cultivating technique.

At this point, the cultivation speed slows down, power consumption begins to increase, taking a hundred years of power, finally cultivating from twenty-eight to thirty-six images to Perfection.

At this juncture, the feeling of the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine also being an attack and kill martial technique becomes increasingly apparent; this technique seems to eternally be evolving a supreme attack and kill martial technique.

Wei Fan’s hair flies wildly, his whole body flashes with lightning thunder, like a Thunder God in the world.

Were it not for also setting an array in the hut, the hut would already be overturned.

At this moment, the panel flashes, cultivated to the thirty-seventh image.

Hong!

At this time, the thunder and lightning become even more violent, as if not merely refining Wei Fan’s body but intending to eliminate him; in a fleeting moment, he is engulfed by thunder and lightning, completely obscured from view.
