High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 227 - 195: Dreamscape Mystery, Supreme Observation Technique
The blood irrigation lasting half an hour would deplete the qi and blood of even a Grandmaster, but for Su Mu, it was a minor issue, with only a slightly pale complexion.
Su Mu’s qi and blood were extremely vigorous, and half of the consumed blood was already self-recovered.
As his mind willed, he activated a few drops of essence blood, which melted and flowed through the limbs, transforming into pure blood, and Su Mu quickly restored completely.
While waiting, Su Mu sat cross-legged and entered a state of introspection, soon seeing once again the incomplete crystal in his head.
""Crystal Visualization Technique"!"
Once more confirming it was real and not an illusion, Su Mu’s opened eyes showed astonishment and doubt.
The dream had indeed come true.
Even though the strange dream had repeated many times, Su Mu only treated it as a dream, but when suddenly the items from the dream appeared in the real world out of thin air, his astonishment was tinged with unease.
In the dream, he taught many things to that student, including the Nameless Breathing Technique, Blood Control Secret Technique, Third-Turned Refining Technique, Surging Waves Saber Technique, Sword Nurturing Technique, and Space Inscription.
He even imparted his sword momentum to the other without reservation.
"By the way, teacher, you seemed to mention the Observation Technique before? I think I found one, and today I’ll give it to you as a gift."
This sentence echoed in Su Mu’s ear.
Su Mu could not deceive himself; since the crystal in his head truly existed, and indeed contained an Observation Technique, he began to ponder if there really was such a student in the world.
Perhaps the other had a special talent connected to dreams.
Capable of communicating with him through dreams.
But why did the other call him teacher upon the first meeting? Could the person actually know him?
In an instant, Su Mu recalled Ji Xiaoyan, who called him master upon meeting him.
Su Mu couldn’t help but hesitate; in a world so vast, there were indeed these self-acquainted fellows.
Thinking of this, his eyes squinted slightly.
The student in the dream said to give him the Observation Technique as a gift.
From that, it could be inferred that the student probably knew from the beginning that it was not merely a dream, and even that this dream was controlled by the other.
"So... I have always been unable to identify the identity of this student, which is because the other intentionally concealed their identity."
"Why is it precisely me and not someone else?"
Su Mu’s confusion deepened; why did the other choose him out of the vast multitudes of people?
At the first occurrence of the strange dream, he was merely an unknown Fourth Level Martial Artist. Why did the other not choose a Grandmaster, a Great Grandmaster, or even a Martial Saint standing at the peak of the world as a teacher?
Why was it exactly him, Su Mu?
Su Mu couldn’t figure it out for a while.
But since the other was intentionally hiding their identity, it indicated that they didn’t want to be recognized by him; his student might be living somewhere in this world at this moment.
May even know him...
"Who are you really?"
The student in the dream was very interested in inscriptions. Generally, people find it hard to be interested in things they can’t understand.
At least when he saw the Space Inscription, he felt a headache. If it weren’t for considering the Teleportation Array and his teacher Wang Shuheng, he wouldn’t have the slightest interest.
"Perhaps my student is an Inscription Master."
"Able to comprehend Space Inscriptions, this person must have a considerable achievement in inscriptions."
Currently, Su Mu had little information to grasp, making it challenging to continue thinking in this direction, but he trusted his intuition, and firmly believed that his student bore no malice towards him.
Otherwise, the other wouldn’t give him a profound Observation Technique as a gift.
"Could entering the dream depend on certain conditions or limitations?"
Su Mu’s mind raced; even if the other bore no malice, he disliked events spiraling completely out of his control, which made him uneasy.
"The first time I entered the dream was on the plane back to school after slaying Lu Lin."
"The second was after the end of training, after the beast tide had passed, learning of the Human Great Sage and comprehending the Spiritual Memory Technique from my teacher."
"The third was in the Blood Cave, after conquering the Giant’s Blood..."
"The fourth was after slaying Lin Peng..."
"The fifth just before, after entering the Flood Dragon Cave..."
Su Mu muttered to himself, laying out the timeline of the dreams; he quickly found a commonality.
"It almost always happened after I lived through a great battle and relaxed after being extremely tense."
Even though the most recent instance didn’t involve a battle, as he had just arrived in South Mountain City from school, it was the first time he had witnessed the Beast Cave.
That time gave him no less shock than learning about the Human Great Sage and the fact that humans couldn’t advance to the Ninth Level in forging or elixirs.
Both these events greatly shocked Su Mu, giving him a feeling of touching upon the world’s truths, which had once left him shivering.
"It doesn’t always require experiencing a battle; encountering an immense spiritual shock can also lead to entering a dream."
Su Mu muttered once more, taking a deep breath, then writing down his conjectures in a small notebook, then ended his deep reflections.
Continuing further held no meaning, as he had too little information at present.
"Let me see the gift my student gave me first."
Su Mu dismissed the distracting thoughts and began to comprehend the "Crystal Visualization Technique" contained within the incomplete crystal in his mind.
With the triggering of the incomplete crystal, silver radiance burst forth.
A similarly incomplete Crystal Visualization Technique unfolded slowly before Su Mu.
""Crystal Visualization Technique", can purify spiritual power, enhance spiritual power; the first step in cultivation requires the practitioner to visualize a human form in the mind."
"This human form is entirely composed of pure spiritual power, requiring first visualization of a crystal structure, and then sculpting point by point on this foundation, gradually eliminating all impurities, forming a perfect crystal human form completely identical to oneself."
Instantly, Su Mu trembled all over, showing immense joy.
This method shares a wonderful similarity with his initial creation of the Golden Essence Armor; however, the Crystal Visualization Technique goes further and is even more imaginative, requiring the visualization of one’s complete human form through spiritual power.
The difficulty was apparent, but this also sparked Su Mu’s strong interest; the harder the cultivation, the more boundless the potential of this Visualization Technique.
Su Mu’s breath became somewhat rapid as he quickly immersed himself completely.
After a long time, he exhaled deeply, his opened eyes filled with shock.
"The potential of this "Crystal Visualization Technique" is not beneath the "Fixed Star Body Refining Technique"."
This likely represents a cultivation technique transcending the current stage of human martial arts, though this time it does not involve qi and blood or flesh, but is the Supreme Observation Technique concerning spiritual power!
Upon going through it once, Su Mu discovered that both the "Crystal Visualization Technique" and the "Fixed Star Body Refining Technique" shared a common trait of continuous evolution, a feature he had never seen in other martial arts.
The Fixed Star Body Refining Technique involves the continuous transformation of flesh and qi and blood in cultivation, ultimately reaching a flesh comparable to a fixed star, enabling the body to roam the starry sky.
Meanwhile, the Crystal Visualization Technique, with the visualization of one’s human form in crystal merely as the first step, also requires the cultivator to continuously purify spiritual power, completing the ongoing transformation of the visualized human form.
Beyond the Crystal Human Form, there exist higher-tier, mysterious structures like the Bright Crystal Human Form and the Obsidian Human Form; each transformation of the visualized form allows the cultivator’s spiritual power to achieve a comprehensive leap, at least double.
This aspect is consistent with the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique.
"What an astonishing Observation Technique!"
Su Mu couldn’t help but exclaim, further confirming his speculation that his student bore no malice toward him.
"Unfortunately, it’s merely a fragment..."
Su Mu’s eyes brightened momentarily; perhaps he might later have the opportunity to obtain the complete Crystal Visualization Technique from his student. Thinking so, he began to look forward to the next meeting with his student.
At that moment, a series of fine cracking sounds reached his ears.
Crack! Crack!
In the center of the Flood Dragon Cave, the huge Fierce Beast Egg radiated intensely, with red and blue lights intertwining, and a loud, high-pitched bird’s cry resounded as the mystical bird’s shadow condensed within the cave.
"The little one is about to break out of the shell!"
