Chapter 763: Chapter 470: Late Stage of the 8th Realm, 5th Order Absolute Skill!

This month, Yan Chuan’s understanding of the "Tiger Soul Divine Spear" first Chapter has become increasingly profound, and his mastery has deepened significantly. He roughly compares the "Nagua Chapter" with ordinary Geng Five Absolute Skills—

"Training True Skills, like the ’Nagua Chapter’, mastering the third ultimate move is far less difficult than comprehending an Absolute Skill to the Eighth Realm Peak level, yet their power and combat strength are comparable."

"Therefore, Zhang Tao and others can cultivate True Skills to grasp stronger moves with less difficulty, less energy, and shorter time."

As a result, Divine Generals with True Skill inheritance naturally have greater advantages.

For example, at this moment,

Just four months after initially encountering the "Tiger Soul Divine Spear", Zhang Tao, despite having the foundation of years of cultivation in the predecessor Absolute Skill "Tiger Soul 42 Gun Explanation" and the vague guidance of spear intent in the ’Third-level Cultivation Cave Mansion’, was able to, under Yan Chuan’s guidance, not only master the second ultimate move in just a month but also was on the brink of mastering the third ultimate move. In such a short time, it equates to mastering an Eight Realms Ultimate Skill, clearly showing the gap between ’True Skill’ and ’Absolute Skill’.

"True Skill!"

"Stronger!"

For example, in the "Tiger Soul Divine Spear", the first Chapter ’Nagua Chapter’ contains six forms, corresponding to six stages: First-Rank, Second-Rank, Third-Rank, Fourth-Rank, Fifth-Rank, and Fifth-Rank Peak of the Divine General."

After mastering the first Chapter’s six ultimate moves, it’s not over, the second Chapter ’Divine Fortune Chapter’ further delves into eight ultimate killing moves based on the first six forms and forms combinations called ’War God Skills’.

The first Chapter of "Tiger Soul Divine Spear" corresponds to Divine Generals from First to Fifth Rank.

The second Chapter of "Tiger Soul Divine Spear" corresponds to Divine Generals from Sixth to Tenth Rank.

Step by step.

But for Geng Five Absolute Skills, generally, the path ends at Fifth Rank. Beyond that, there’s no detailed cultivation method, only self-comprehension, which is very difficult.

"Absolute Skill’s path ends."

"True Skill can climb the ranks."

This is one aspect where True Skill surpasses Absolute Skill.

Yan Chuan fought in Heavenly Ladder City for a month, held over forty martial arts lectures, witnessing two True Skills including Zhang Tao’s "Tiger Soul Divine Spear" and Ge Ji’s "Wave Cutting Saber Technique". As his research deepened, Yan Chuan’s understanding of True Skills grew, accelerating the development progress of his own "Washing Marrow Scripture", which he hoped would be halfway once he saw the second Chapters of either "Tiger Soul Divine Spear" or "Wave Cutting Saber Technique".

But to see the second Chapter—

"First, I must help them completely practice the first Chapter, they must be taught the second Chapter by their family, for me to ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, to ’siphon off’!"

Based on this.

Yan Chuan held nothing back—

"The heart and kidney symbolize water and fire, water should rise, fire should lower, the two are balanced, water and fire intersect, True Qi condenses, spirit gradually grows, intelligence opens, how fierce is it not!"

"Horizontal and vertical!"

"In and out!"

"Open and close!"

"Water and fire!"

"This is—"

"Dominating the world!"

Boom!

Zhang Tao only felt enlightenment dawn upon him, a spear carried two forces to attack, the spear’s momentum was domineering as if to pierce the universe, the spear like water and fire, dominating the world.

"Tiger Soul Divine Spear!"

"Dominating the world!"

Zhang Tao’s mind was stirred.

In just four months, the third ultimate move of "Tiger Soul Divine Spear" first Chapter was achieved: "I have a great teacher, thus I too become an unprecedented Heavenly Pride!"

...

[Task One: Inspiration +1]

[Task Four: Inspiration +3]

...

[Your ’Nine Yin Scripture’ has been improved, skill level +1]

[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ has been improved, ...]

...

[Nine Yin Scripture: Eighth Realm Peak (3)]

[Wave Riding Micro Steps: Eighth Realm Peak (60)]

...

Another guided battle took place, with thirty to forty Divine Generals spectating and listening to the lecture, Yan Chuan reaped substantial gains—

Derivation Skill progress.

Absolute Skill mastery.

Considerable improvements in both were achieved in this battle.

Particularly, "Wave Riding Micro Steps" broke through to late stage Eighth Realm, and in terms of its power, it could already compare to the fifth ultimate move of the first Chapter of True Skills in the Qinggong movement category—

"Fifth move, late stage Eighth Realm."

Normally, this can only be comprehended and mastered by Fifth-Rank Divine Generals.

In comparison, the 20 Primordial Pills earned from Zhang Tao seem trivial.

"First-Rank cultivation."

"Second-Rank physique."

"Third-Rank explosion."

"Fifth Rank Absolute Skill."

A month has passed since the battle at Nanyue Lake, where the Nursery Carp Beast King was slain in seconds, and about twenty days since Yan Chuan had Situ Fei purchase 30 Primordial Pills worth of cultivation resources.

It was expected that the first breakthrough would occur in the area with the most investment, ’cultivation’, but unexpectedly, cultivation remains at Third Layer, while Absolute Skills have first reached a level comparable to a Fifth-Rank Divine General.

Unlike upgrading cultivation, which requires vast resources, Yan Chuan’s breakthrough in Absolute Skills not only cost nothing but also made him money, big money!

"I might be the only one in the world!"

Yan Chuan walked out of the Earth Gate with a smile.

...

"Wave Riding Micro Steps" has advanced further, not inferior to an ordinary Fifth-Rank Divine General. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Fifth-Rank Divine General—

Innate Eighteen Layers, cultivating meridian Ren.

Innate Nineteen Layers, cultivating meridian Du.

Cultivating both Ren and Du meridians, this is ’Fifth-Rank Divine General’.

After the Fifth Rank, once the ’Ren and Du meridians’ are cleared, the ’Eight Extraordinary Meridians’ are all completed, the ’Sinew, Bone, Skin, and Membrane’ undergo three cycles of tempering, thereby stepping into Innate Twenty Layers.

"Eighteen Layers."

"Nineteen Layers."

"Twenty Layers."

This is Fifth Rank.

Even in Hunxi Territory, among nearly ten thousand Divine Generals, those reaching Fifth Rank are just slightly over a hundred. Nearly one among a hundred Innate Realms has the potential to become a Fifth-Rank Divine General.

In reality, Fifth-Rank Divine Generals are the nearest to the pinnacle of the Divine General Pyramid, one more step further into the Sixth Rank is the true pinnacle. Even placed in any War God-level forces, they are influential figures. For instance, at the Lishan Sect, all nine elders in charge of the Nine Courtyards are Sixth Rank.

"I cultivated ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ to the late stage of the Eighth Realm, and the lightweight movement technique is comparable to a Fifth-Rank Divine General. This time, even if I were to meet the two Fourth-Rank Divine Generals from the Fu family again, even if they explode into a life-and-death fight, I have a chance to escape." With such Qinggong movement as a foundation, Yan Chuan’s next martial arts lecture goal would no longer be limited to Guangming City: "Mengsha, Yong Mountain, and other surrounding fourteen major cities, I can give lectures one by one!"

In the Tan Valley Realm,

Yan Chuan is invincible!

...

"Is the City Lord not coming to the army to lecture today?" Ni Mengtong was a bit disappointed. She came with her mentor Huang Wuniang to the revitalized Tan Valley Royal City with the intention of achieving great things, fulfilling her childhood dream of leading troops in battle and becoming a War God of her generation.

Yet unexpectedly—

The ’War God’ on the battlefield is yet to be seen.

However, the ’War God’ in Martial Arts has become increasingly close.

"Postnatal."

"Innate."

"War God."

In March last year, during the Jian Province Competition, after hearing Yan Chuan’s martial arts lecture, Ni Mengtong felt enlightened, breaking through to Postnatal Nine Layers, Limit-breaking Nine Grade.

After that, she followed Yan Chuan to Cang Mountain, listening to Yan Chuan’s lecture, unconsciously breaking from Postnatal Nine Layers to Ten Layers.

Then,

After the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, Ni Mengtong followed Yan Chuan to Tan Valley Royal City, training thirty thousand Tan Valley soldiers. Whenever Yan Chuan gave martial arts lectures to the Tan Valley army, Ni Mengtong was present, in a prime position, occasionally receiving Yan Chuan’s advice.

In this way,

Unconsciously—

Eleven Layers.

Twelve Layers.

In just over half a year, her cultivation, which was difficult to break through in Jian Province, rose smoothly to Peak State in Tan Valley without any halt.

In just a year.

Ni Mengtong never imagined she could reach the Peak State so quickly, she even doubted whether she would touch the Peak State in her lifetime during previous years of stagnation.

Eventually, the Peak State arrived quietly.

Upon reaching the peak, Ni Mengtong also developed aspirations for the Innate Realm.

But subsequent cultivation at the Peak State again made Ni Mengtong daunted and feel hopeless.

At this moment.

Once again, it was Yan Chuan.

Recently, he gave three hours of martial arts lectures daily in the Tan Valley army for a month, and Ni Mengtong listened attentively, and unconsciously, she made progress again—

"Golden Snake Body Wandering Palm!"

"Golden Snake Capturing Crane Fist!"

"Golden Snake Cone Technique!"

"Golden Snake Swordsmanship!"

Ni Mengtong shared the same lineage as Huang Wuniang, Huang Wuniang practiced the "Golden Snake Secret Manual" tailored by Yan Chuan for her, and so did Ni Mengtong.

Absolute Skills were originally hard to cultivate.

But Ni Mengtong just listened to Yan Chuan’s martial arts lectures in the army, listening—

Fourth Realm.

Fifth Realm.

Sixth Realm.

To the level of ’Absolute’, she could also rival the Heavenly Prouds from the first Cang Mountain Sword Discussion.

Ni Mengtong was overjoyed.

What she most looks forward to now is Yan Chuan coming to the army for martial arts lectures, hoping that she too could prove Dao to the Innate Realm like Chen Ze, Wang Zhengyi, Situ Fei, Ding Xiang, and Ying Jifeng.

But—

"No lecture today."

Yan Chuan waved his hand, turned, and left the camp, calling on Tan Yunqing: "I ask Senior Tan to accompany me to Yong Mountain City."

...

Yong Mountain City.

This is one of the three cities with a population exceeding one million in the Tan Valley Realm. The City Lord Sheng Xuan, born of humble beginnings, began practicing martial arts at twenty-five, reached the Innate Realm at thirty, and now at thirty-four, practices "Golden Sun Eight Treasures Mystic Body", Vajra Unbreakable, wielding the "Evil Extinguishing Righteous Yang Saber", possessing Vast Righteous Qi, having slain twenty-six Beast Kings, with a lethal disposition, firmly holds the top position in Yong Mountain City, known as ’Mang Vajra’.

"Sheng Xuan himself is very strong, at least Second-Rank."

"Under his command are thirteen Demon Suppression Generals, all are Innate."

Yong Mountain City is not easy to provoke.

But with thirteen Demon Suppression Generals, ’Mang Vajra’ Sheng Xuan, and millions of soldiers and civilians in and around Yong Mountain City, it is the perfect resource for Yan Chuan’s ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’.

Yan Chuan previously conducted martial arts lectures intermittently in Guangming City for a month. The millions of soldiers and civilians in Guangming City were almost fully influenced by Yan Chuan, and he needed to give them time to digest, allowing them space to think over and ponder some of their insights, making the new session of martial arts lectures potentially exciting and refreshing.

Setting Guangming City aside for now.

Now, it’s Yong Mountain City’s turn—

"The City Lord will be conducting martial arts lectures later, if any Innate-level threat appears, Yun Qing will handle it." Tan Yunqing, recently under Yan Chuan’s guidance, began to practice the "Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, Only I Am Venerated", dedicating himself to healing Tan Dou’s injuries, and in just over half a month, results were already evident. He was ecstatic, utterly convinced, willing to be Yan Chuan’s front-runner!

"I appreciate the senior." Yan Chuan’s Qinggong at late Eighth Realm, even Fifth-Rank Divine Generals may not possess such exceptional Qinggong. Yan Chuan isn’t intimidated by a mere thirteen to fourteen First-Rank and Second-Rank Divine Generals.

But having Tan Yunqing protect by the side allows him to give more thorough martial arts lectures, with better effects.

Yan Chuan brought Tan Yunqing along this time, firstly for an added layer of protection, and secondly intending to let him intercept Innate threats so he could lecture in peace.
