Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Sorry for the delay; I was held up by something. Thank you for waiting!”

As Sikong Jun’s voice fell, a figure rapidly approached the training field from a distance— it was Chen Fei.

Chen Fei hadn’t intended to be the last to arrive. He had been delayed because he had perfected the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique to the Perfect level that morning.

Originally, it was estimated that it would take at least five to six years to cultivate the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique to the Great Completion stage.

Before entering the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei had spent several months perfecting it to the Proficient level.

After entering the Qiankun Mansion, the courtyard simulated specific environments, allowing him to advance the technique from the Proficient level to the Perfect level in just two months. This was as fast as his cultivation of divine powers.

The Thunder Roar Stellar Technique is considered an ordinary technique among Sun Moon Realm techniques.

Divided into four grades—low, middle, upper, and supreme—the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique is likely only a peak low-grade technique.

Compared to the legacy of the Dark Sovereign from the Lu family, it is not comparable, but it is still a decent technique within the Sun Moon Realm without any foundation.

With the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique at the Perfect level as his foundation, Chen Fei’s combat strength had increased significantly, even though he was only at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

Even if Chen Fei never acquired other techniques, he could still advance smoothly to the peak of the Sun Moon Realm with just the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique.

Of course, breaking through the sixth-tier barrier with the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique would be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, in the Qiankun Mansion, as long as he has enough merit points, he can learn all the top legacies among humanity, which will provide him with a solid foundation.

With Chen Fei’s appearance, the attention of the thousands of Sun Moon Realm experts present instantly focused on him.

Most of the Sun Moon Realm experts had never seen Chen Fei’s face. Even among the Sky Sea Branch, not everyone knew him.

Looking at Chen Fei in the training field, if judged solely by his aura, he had not yet reached the peak of the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

Achieving the top rank among the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm at this level shows that Chen Fei’s talent is indeed exceptional.

Such a person, with future growth, would undoubtedly become a top figure among the Sun Moon Realm.

However, that’s a matter for the future. Improving one’s cultivation level requires time and accumulation. Even in an environment like the Qiankun Mansion, which significantly shortens the time, it still requires time.

In this case, challenging other branches’ top experts at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm is quite disadvantageous.

Chen Fei is strong, but this action is not wise.

Sikong Jun gave Chen Fei a cold glance, snorting in disdain.

Three days ago, Sikong Jun had issued a challenge to Chen Fei, who responded by directly challenging the top experts from eleven other branches at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

Chen Fei’s actions seemed extremely arrogant and indirectly indicated that he did not take Sikong Jun seriously.

Otherwise, why would he challenge others immediately, clearly confident of defeating Sikong Jun?

“Sky Sea Branch’s Chen Fei, please give me your guidance!” Chen Fei said to Sikong Jun with a cupped fist.

“Mountain Bridge Branch’s Sikong Jun, please give me your guidance!” Sikong Jun replied coldly, cupping his fist.

As Sikong Jun’s words fell, the atmosphere in the training field suddenly changed.

Without rushing to attack, Sikong Jun began to advance toward Chen Fei step by step, holding the Azure Sky Blade.

From the first step, Sikong Jun’s aura started to rise. With each step, his aura expanded to cover the entire training field.

The heaven and earth essence within several hundred miles of the training field rolled and surged, resonating with Sikong Jun’s aura. A phantom of a violent ape appeared behind Sikong Jun, silently roaring at Chen Fei.

The howling wind whipped Chen Fei’s hair back as he gazed at the violent ape’s phantom with a hint of interest.

In Sun Moon Realm techniques and divine powers, most are based on natural wonders and generally do not involve monsters.

However, there is an exception—Divine Monsters.

Divine Monsters, to some extent, can be seen as manifestations of certain rules. Their innate starting points and limits are far superior to those of humans.

Imitating Divine Monsters is essentially imitating the rules of heaven and earth.

In the Sun Moon Realm, where accessing rules is not possible, mimicking visible rules becomes a shortcut to enhancing combat strength.

Sikong Jun’s eyes were fixed on Chen Fei. As soon as Chen Fei made a move, all of Sikong Jun’s power would surge forth to strike Chen Fei.

At this moment, Sikong Jun’s aura had not yet reached its peak. It seemed that interrupting him now would be the best choice.

But just like a wild beast preparing to attack, a slight provocation would trigger a shocking counterattack, fierce and explosive.

Chen Fei, however, remained calm, with no intention of making a move.

Sikong Jun’s expression was cold as he continued to advance step by step, each step rapidly closing the distance between him and Chen Fei.

When Sikong Jun was less than a mile away from Chen Fei, his aura reached its maximum strength.

Sikong Jun took a deep breath, and a phantom of a staircase appeared before the violent ape. The ape took a step upward.

“Buzz!”

Sikong Jun’s already overwhelming aura surged even more, like fire on oil.

Ascend the Heavenly Ladder!

This was Sikong Jun’s divine power. The heavens have nine layers, and with each step, he ascends one layer, nine steps to the heavens.

With each step, Sikong Jun’s internal power would increase dramatically. At this moment, he had taken the first step.

“Whoosh!”

The Azure Sky Blade in Sikong Jun’s hand turned into a dazzling streak, slashing towards Chen Fei.

The blade cut through the air, and a thunderous roar echoed across the training field. The speed of the Azure Sky Blade was so fast, and the heaven and earth essence gathered around it was so dense that it created a distinctive sound.

Everyone around the training field became intensely focused.

Currently, Sikong Jun was at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm. This attack wouldn’t threaten experts beyond the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

However, what could be seen now was a mere glimpse of his potential. Once Sikong Jun’s realm increased in the future, the same technique would have vastly different power.

“Boom!”

The Azure Sky Blade struck the Dust Law Sword, sending a massive wave of force outward. The Dust Law Sword remained steadfast.

Sikong Jun’s brow furrowed slightly. He realized Chen Fei was not simple, but Chen Fei’s response seemed too easy.

“Based on your aura, your divine power should be on the verge of transformation, right?”

Chen Fei looked up at Sikong Jun in mid-air with a smile and said, “Transform it into a complete divine power. Otherwise, with your current strength, you won’t be able to defeat me!”

“This is just the beginning!”

At Chen Fei’s words, Sikong Jun’s face darkened, and he stepped forward with his right foot, entering the second layer of heaven.

Sikong Jun’s aura surged again, and the roaring sound of the violent ape behind him turned into invisible sound waves spreading outwards.

Sikong Jun raised the Azure Sky Blade in his hand, preparing to continue his attack on Chen Fei.

Chen Fei watched Sikong Jun and twisted the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, slashing it towards the heavens.

The massive Dust Law Sword moved with a thunderous roar, dominating the heavens and earth as if it was the only thing in existence.

“Boom!”

The explosive sound soared to the skies as the Azure Sky Blade and the Dust Law Sword collided again. This time, Sikong Jun’s expression changed dramatically.

In the first attack, Sikong Jun hadn’t broken through the Dust Law Sword’s form but had been impressed by Chen Fei’s formidable defense.

Now, as the sword and blade truly clashed, Sikong Jun felt the immense power contained within the Dust Law Sword.

It was as if the Milky Way had been overturned, with an overwhelming force surging into the Azure Sky Blade and then flooding into Sikong Jun’s body.

Sikong Jun dared not hesitate. He took two steps back, channeling the immense force from his body into the space around him.

The Ascend the Heavenly Ladder could not only be used to enhance offensive power but also to release force when defense was needed. Even so, Sikong Jun couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

With these two steps, Sikong Jun had reached the fourth layer of the Ascend the Heavenly Ladder.

At its current divine power seed state, Sikong Jun could only ascend to the fourth layer. To truly reach the nine layers, the Ascend the Heavenly Ladder needed to evolve into a complete divine power.

In this exchange, Sikong Jun was injured and was already at his strongest stage. Without a stronger countermeasure, his defeat was just a matter of a few more moves.

Seeing Sikong Jun bleeding, Shen Yongding’s expression outside the training field turned grave.

As a fellow Sun Moon Realm expert from Mountain Bridge City, Shen Yongding was very familiar with Sikong Jun. Sikong Jun’s previous attack had been a full effort, but he still fell into a disadvantage.

Not just Shen Yongding, but the other ten people from various branches furrowed their brows upon witnessing the scene in the training field.

Chen Fei was far stronger than they had imagined.

When Chen Fei suggested that Sikong Jun transform his divine power seed, they thought he was being overly arrogant.

Now it seemed that Chen Fei might have been speaking the truth!

“I told you, without transforming the divine power seed, your strength isn’t enough!”

Chen Fei twisted the Qianyuan Sword again, and the Dust Law Sword behind him made the same movement, the massive sword blade pressing down on the surrounding essence of heaven and earth as it continued to strike towards Sikong Jun.

Two months ago, Chen Fei could easily overpower a genius like Lu Shuzhang.

Now, with the advancement of divine powers and techniques, Chen Fei’s combat strength had increased by several folds. Facing Sikong Jun in his current state was truly effortless.

In essence, Sikong Jun’s combat strength, due to two months of training in the Qiankun Mansion, was stronger than Lu Shuzhang’s at the time but still not significantly improved.

Even two months ago, Chen Fei could have easily overpowered the current Sikong Jun.

Sikong Jun saw the Dust Law Sword coming and his expression changed. The phantom of the Ascend the Heavenly Ladder behind him trembled violently.

“Buzz!”

The essence of heaven and earth within several hundred miles quivered violently. The previously somewhat illusory Ascend the Heavenly Ladder now appeared incredibly clear, as if a real staircase reached into the clouds.

Seeing Sikong Jun’s change, Chen Fei couldn’t help but smile. He was finally going to see what a complete divine power looked like.

“Don’t die!”

As Chen Fei’s words fell, he increased the power of the Dust Law Sword.
