Cultivation Begins with Skill Points

Chapter 436 - 434 Martial Arts True Intent


Chapter 436: Chapter 434 Martial Arts True Intent

“Are you planning to create a ’Stove Cultivating Hundred Classics’?”

“Not quite, just extracting the essence to create my own Cultivation Technique,” Zhong Lin replied.

Chi Zhonglin felt a pang in his teeth upon hearing this. Creating his own Cultivation Technique was even more difficult than the ’Stove Cultivating Hundred Classics’. After all, what suits you the best is the best.

“How are you… never mind, forget I asked.”

Chi Zhonglin waved his hand, really not wanting to get hit any further. He immersed himself in the “Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill,” carefully studying it.

The “Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill” was merely an Earth Level technique, and for Chi Zhonglin, a True Disciple who had already cultivated to the Life and Death Realm, it only took a moment to grasp most of it. This was mainly because the worst techniques he was exposed to were Heavenly Level, making it naturally more efficient from a high vantage point.

“So that’s how it is.”

Zhong Lin trembled with anticipation, “Senior brother, have you noticed something?”

“Hmm, I’ve got some ideas. The ’Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill’ is indeed not bad. Fusing the Five Elements into chaos without extremes, it has profound intentions. If your Martial Arts Cultivation can grow continuously, it might create a cultivation technique at the Holy Land level. But for now…”

“Second senior brother, stop keeping us in suspense,” Zhong Lin said, speechless.

“Look at you, getting restless. Let me ask you, do you know what is the biggest difference between Heavenly Extreme Skills, or Heavenly Level Martial Arts, and others?” Chi Zhonglin asked in return.

Zhong Lin pondered for a moment, “Secret technique?”

“Wrong, whether Yellow Level, Dark Level, or Earth Level, they all have secret techniques. The difference is merely in strength or weakness. The biggest difference with Heavenly Extreme Skills is Martial Arts True Intent. The so-called Martial Arts True Intent can be understood as the creator’s insight into the mysteries of the universe, a summary of their own wisdom. Just like two people comprehending Sword Intent at the same time, the results will ultimately be different.

“Your ’Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill’ borrows the true essence of many Cultivation Techniques, but it is still not your own. It lacks your own spiritual imprint, rendering it lifeless, which is also why you could not complete the transformation just now,” Chi Zhonglin explained.

At this moment, Zhong Lin felt as if struck by thunder, with a flash of lightning bursting in his mind.

“Martial Arts True Intent, lifeless, spiritual imprint… So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is. Senior brother, is there a solution?”

“Yes, one way is to continue enhancing your cultivation. When your cultivation and insight into the world reach a certain extent, you will naturally be able to create your own Cultivation Technique. This is how most cultivation methods in the world are born.”

Zhong Lin nodded, indicating his understanding. This was also the simplest and most straightforward method.

“Is there another way?”

Chi Zhonglin smiled lightly and said, “The second method is ’Spirit Awakening’.”

“What is Spirit Awakening?” Zhong Lin asked excitedly.

“The so-called Spirit Awakening is to follow the ways of heaven and earth, using the power of nature to help you complete the transformation. And the technique you practice belongs to the Five Elements, so you naturally need Five Elements Spiritual Items to assist, and they cannot be ordinary Five Elements Spiritual Items. Junior brother, do you know the Five Directions Divine Beasts?”

Zhong Lin’s eyes widened instantly, nearly jumping up, “Senior brother, you’re not thinking of using the Five Directions Divine Beasts for Spirit Awakening, are you? What a joke.”

“You’re dreaming. Just one aura from a Five Directions Divine Beast could crush you to death.”

Chi Zhonglin rolled his eyes. The Five Directions Divine Beasts are true spirits of heaven and earth, and just casually bringing out one would possess Imperial Realm strength, though the Azure Dragon disappeared thousands of years ago.

“I’m talking about the Five Directions Divine Beasts in the Five Elements Secret Realm, derived from the resonance of the Five Elements Primordial Qi and this Secret Realm. They can be understood as a weaker version of the Five Directions Divine Beasts, with strength comparable to warriors at the Peak of the Yin Yang Realm, and even the Life and Death Realm.”

“There are such things?” Zhong Lin asked in surprise.

“Yes, the Five Directions Divine Beasts are formed by the resonance of the heavens and earth. This Five Elements Secret Realm can be regarded as a small world, where they can also be born. However, they are extremely rare in number. To find their location, one needs to go to the ’Non-Jealous Land’.

Zhong Lin nodded in understanding. The so-called ’Non-Jealous Land’ is a region developed by many Martial Artists, a place where the Five Elements converge without obvious Five Elements Primordial Qi, allowing many Martial Artists to coexist and also serve as a place for trading.

“Let’s go!”

The two restrained their auras and flew towards the location of the ’Non-Jealous Land’.

Along the way, they stopped and started mainly to fend off attacks from various Demon Beasts.

Water Whale, Stone Man, Fire Snake, Wood Demon, Golden Spider…

There were countless types of Five Elements Demon Beasts. Although killing them could absorb the Five Elements Primordial Qi within to enhance the Golden Core, doing it continuously was quite exhausting.

“Senior brother, are you sure you haven’t taken the wrong path?”

“I’ve come to the Five Elements Secret Realm at least 800 times if not a thousand. How could I get lost?”

“Lost?”

Zhong Lin squinted dangerously at Chi Zhonglin.

“Senior brother, I didn’t say you were lost. Aren’t you just admitting it?”

Chi Zhonglin’s face also showed a hint of awkwardness. He took a piece of beast skin from the Storage Bracelet and said, “I am indeed following the route. There must have been a land upheaval or some huge battle nearby that changed the terrain. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have gone the wrong way.”

“So you’re admitting it?”

Zhong Lin’s face turned dark, gritting his teeth.

“Oh, don’t mind the details! Besides, you’re a Five Elements Spirit Body, you can train anywhere, and you’ve gained quite a bit these days, your Yin Evil Realm is almost at Perfection,” Chi Zhonglin said.

Zhong Lin snorted coldly. It’s fortunate that he’s a Five Elements Spirit Body; otherwise, he’d have been done in by his senior brother.

Suddenly, both of them paused abruptly and looked up ahead.

In the distance, there was a sound of rushing water, like a heavenly river suddenly appeared in the void, surging from afar.

“Another wave of water-based creatures. I wonder what came this time?”

“Let’s go and see.”

Chi Zhonglin needed a topic change, so he took a step and flew off directly, with Zhong Lin following closely behind.

The surging water sound from afar felt like a torrent of water energy rushing towards them, causing both their faces to change mid-flight.

“Senior brother, something seems off. What creature could possibly have such massive water energy?” Zhong Lin said gravely.

Chi Zhonglin’s face lit up with joy, quickly leaping over the hill in front of them, and a huge ape came into view.

This ape was surrounded by countless wisps of water vapor, holding a huge Water Stick, seemingly human yet not, seemingly demonic yet not, with a powerful surge of Water Essence Qi.

“What is this thing, with such overwhelming presence and dense water energy, even compared to the previous water creatures we hunted?”

“Haha, this is a Taigu Water Ape. Zhong Lin, such luck, truly such luck! Didn’t I mention looking for the Five Directions Divine Beasts? This Taigu Water Ape is indeed one of the Five Directions Divine Beasts,” Chi Zhonglin said joyfully.

Zhong Lin was momentarily stunned, full of confusion. “Aren’t the Five Directions Divine Beasts Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu? When did Xuanwu become a Water Ape?”
