Ninth Cultivation

  The greatest effect of "Breaking Heaven Strike" is not just its powerful attacking power, but also its ability to assist other martial arts techniques and enhance their might.

  "The Heaven-Defying Strike"'s true energy manipulation is too miraculous, as long as the first strike is successfully cultivated and can be integrated into other martial techniques, then this martial technique's power can be elevated to a first-rate level.

  During the Qi Cultivation period, no matter what level of martial skill, it is difficult to reach the entry-level realm. The higher the level of martial skill, the more difficult it is to comprehend. Generally, one can only comprehend the first-level realm after advancing to the Condensing Spirit period and strengthening their soul's foundation.

  So "Breaking Heaven Strike" can improve the quality of martial arts, which is very against the sky. Of course, to cultivate "Breaking Heaven Strike", it is also a very difficult thing.

  The sixth-grade martial skill "Rainy Wind Sword" is a swordsmanship that requires high realm and enlightenment. Liu Bo has recently gained a deeper understanding of water properties, and after reading it for the first time, he had some epiphanies, believing that this swordsmanship must be very suitable for him.

  The sixth-grade martial art "Invisible Needle" is a strange and mysterious dark weapon technique, which is not only difficult to dodge and defend against, but also has enormous power, making Liu Bo feel shocked. He secretly made up his mind that even if he couldn't master it, he had to have a way to deal with it, otherwise, if he encountered it carelessly, he would definitely be in great danger.

  Liu Bo chose a good set of skills and martial arts techniques, hugged all seven secret books tightly, went down to the next floor and studied them carefully.

  "It's your duty, Master Bo, show me which books you've chosen," said Liu with a warm smile.

  Liu Bo put the secret book in his hand on the desk in front of Liu Lao and said, "Trouble Liu Lao to record."

  Liu Lao quickly recorded it and said casually: "Young Master Bo has a high vision, the kung fu and martial arts he chose are all very distinctive, with great power, but also very difficult to cultivate. One must have both wisdom and perseverance, otherwise it will be hard to make progress in cultivation. Therefore, when cultivating, one must prioritize. Especially this 'Breaking Heaven Strike', this is the most difficult secret technique to cultivate in the Cang Jing Pavilion. It's said that even during the Qi-refining stage, the highest record in history was only breaking through the second strike of Breaking Heaven, and it's extremely hard to achieve the first strike of entering the gate. In our Liu family's history, there won't be more than a handful of people who can cultivate this technique. This secret technique is said to have been left behind by a spiritual immortal ancestor, it's a secret that has never been passed down in my Liu family. Young Master Bo must pay attention and keep it confidential, do not spread it outside."

  Liu Bo now knows that the world he crossed into is a Xiu Zhen realm above the secular world, divided into five continents. Each continent is vast and boundless, with an area so wide that it's hard to calculate, and just one Da Liang Prefecture has an area wider than the land area of the Earth.

  The cultivators of the Xiuzhen realm are even more powerful, and they can be divided into eight stages: Qi Refining, Spirit Condensation, Spiritual Lake, Manifestation, Divine Transformation, Union with the Dao, Spiritual Immortal, and Earthly Immortal. The Spiritual Immortal stage is already extremely powerful, and the secret techniques created by such a high-level cultivator are absolutely invaluable.

  He had long felt that "Po Tian Ji" was extraordinary, and unexpectedly it was passed down by his ancestor Ling Xian, so Liu Bo attached even more importance to it.

  Liu Bo spent half a day, and had a preliminary understanding of the seven secret books, and firmly engraved the contents in his mind, before leaving the Scripture Pavilion.

  In the afternoon, Liu Bo returned to Xiaoxiangyuan and carefully recalled all seven secret books again, making sure he didn't miss a single detail before starting his practice.

  In the morning, he had read through these few secret books and already had a preliminary understanding. He felt that the one he understood most deeply was still "Fine Rain Sword with the Wind", so he decided to start cultivating this sword technique first.

  The moves of "Rain Sword with the Wind" are not very complicated, only thirty-six moves. Liu Bo inherited the astonishing insight of Liu Bo from another realm, and combined with his own understanding, he practiced each move carefully, and in just half an hour, he had already practiced the entire set of swordsmanship once.

  He then practiced continuously for three more times, until he was certain that the moves were correct. Only then did he start again from the first move, carefully comprehending the different nuances of each move in this set of sword techniques.

  The first move "fine rain like silk", the moves are delicate and dense, the action is light and comfortable, but the sword speed is extremely fast, in an instant, thirty-six swords will be stabbed out, only then can this first move meet the requirements. As the boundary is improved, it can gradually reach the level of stabbing out seventy-two swords, one hundred and eight swords, until finally reaching the level of stabbing out three hundred and sixty swords in an instant.

  Just this formula, Liu Bo felt infinite wonder, practicing it was like drinking fine wine and savoring fragrant tea. His mind constantly flashed with inspiration, and the transportation of true energy transformed from deliberate guidance to spontaneous operation.

  Liu Bo was immersed in the profound understanding of this formula, and as his comprehension of it grew deeper, the speed at which he struck out with his sword also grew faster.

  Until the moment when thirty-six swords were thrust out, Liu Bo woke up from his own realm. Looking at the long sword in his hand, Liu Bo was stunned and couldn't believe it.

  He knew that this formula, although annotated to be able to instantly stab out 360 swords at most, was only the theoretical highest realm. Even a master in the condensing phase might not necessarily be able to achieve it. And yet he had actually spent only two short hours and was already able to reach the point of stabbing out 36 swords. Even if his comprehension ability was high and his innate talent was good, it shouldn't have been this freakish, right?

  Calm down the surprising mood, Liu Bo thought: "How is the talent of Liu Bo in another world? Although it's not clear yet, his comprehension must be extremely abnormal. Even if one's own comprehension is ordinary, after merging with his soul origin, he will necessarily excel in comprehension. Only by adding up the two people's soul origins can such an effect be achieved."

  Next, "Yu Shu Feng Zhu", "Spring Breeze Turns to Rain", "Rain Enters Bamboo Forest", "Qiu Feng Leng Yu", "Wind and Rain Disperse", "Xiao Xiao Mu Yu", "Light Rain Wets Clothes", "Idle Flowers Fall to the Ground" and other moves, Liu Bo's progress was also very great.

  Liu Bo spent the entire afternoon practicing this set of sword moves.

  Immersed in the comprehension of swordsmanship, before he knew it, dusk had arrived, and Liu Bo had actually completed the entire 36 forms of swordsmanship. Although their achievements were not the same, even the worst performing move would shock Old Liu from the Cang Jing Pavilion if he saw it.

  Liu Bo was extremely satisfied with this set of swordsmanship, until Liu Zhi Xian came to invite him to dinner, and only then did he reluctantly end his practice.

  The best time for practicing qigong is at night. Liu Bo chose "Xuan Bing Han Yan" because it is of a cold and inflammatory nature, making it most suitable for practice in the evening.

  Back in his room, Liu Bo first recalled the contents of the "Xuanbing Han Yan" technique before starting his first practice.

  "Xuán Bīng Hán Yán" is a rare cold flame attribute gongfa in the fire system, with more complex heart method content and more complicated meridian routes compared to general fire system gongfa. The biggest difficulty of this gongfa lies in the initial stage, before breaking through the three layers of qi cultivation, where the generated cold flame true energy will bring immense pain to the circulating meridians, making it difficult for those without a strong will to persist.

  Liu Bo from another world had long been accustomed to the pain caused by the flow of qi during his practice, and Liu Bo on Earth inherited this trait as well. Now, compared to before, this bit of pain was nothing but a small trick in front of a grand magic show.

  Liu Bo soon became immersed in the profound and mysterious atmosphere. Gradually, even his consciousness in the realm of no form or thought became blurred, leaving only a thread of mystery remaining in the sea of awareness.

  Time slowly passed, until midnight, Liu Bo finally woke up from the meditation. Carefully perceiving the cold and hot true energy circulating in his meridians, Liu Bo was once again surprised by the effects of his cultivation.

  "Three layers of Qi Gong have reached their peak so quickly? Could it be that my Fire Spirit Root's grade is actually very high?"
