The Tribulation Points burned furiously, and it didn’t take much ti.
Chen Ping stood motionless on the spot.
The body had undergone a trendous transformation from inside out.
He looked down at the Spring and Autumn Silkworm attribute column.
Then looked at his own attribute column.
[Spring and Autumn Silkworm (Second Transformation)]
[Talent: Trace Origin and Steal Fotune, Cocoon Rebirth]
[Innate Talent: 6 (Average)
[Enlightennt: 5 (Average)]
[Tribulation: 8 (Breaking Realm)]
[Fortune: 8 (Change Destiny)]
[Cultivation Technique: Wandering Body Bagua Palm (Perfection), Spring Leg (Perfection), Seven Stars Step (Mastery), Silk Thread Puppetry (Great Success), Primordial Technique (Iron Body: Proficient), Clear Wind Shadowless Sword (Mastery), Sunset Divine Arrow (Mastery), Great Sun Scorching Sun Skill (Entry)]
[Body Refining: Tier Two (Refining the Organs) 60%]
[Qi Refining: Tier Two (Qi Cultivation) 31%]
First was the advancent of "Seven Stars Step," which was quite imdiate.
After the Tribulation burned, seven star points in the mind sparkled, and there was an inexplicable increase in understanding concerning position and Power Transportation Technique from the hard practice of Seven Stars Step over the years.
The airflow in the dantian suddenly beca much thicker. If it was just 36 strands of inner qi before, barely enough to use, now it had tripled, becoming 108 strands.
The limbs and hundreds of bones of the body were surrounded by an invisible, colorless airflow.
It seed that the gravity had quietly lessened quite a bit.
His figure slightly moved, under the faint glow of firelight, in the narrow gap of the tunnel, instantly bursting out into as many as twenty-one faint and illusory shadows.
The shadows overlapped, so sitting, so lying, so extending a hand, or lifting a foot...
There was no end to it.
Hua Lian’er on the side was dazzled.
Looking at the lingering shadows, lingering forever.
For a mont, it was impossible to tell which was real and which was fake.
She curiously reached out her hand to touch, to discern clearly.
"Seventh Brother, you’ve mastered the footwork of the Dubhe, rak, and Phecda positions..."
According to mother, the next step is to master all seven positions, achieving great success in the footwork. Forty-nine illusions won’t allow anyone to catch the real body anymore."
Hua Lian’er’s face was shocked, her heart extrely envious.
She had practiced for seven or eight years, only barely reaching the proficient level, still far from the mastery realm.
Her own cultivation was quite shallow.
When actually used, it could rely be used to run away quickly when others were not paying attention.
If truly targeted, it wouldn’t be of much great use.
Because she had no counter-attack ans, relying solely on fleeing wasn’t enough to make others wary.
Frankly speaking, if her footwork was good at running, yet soone covered it with a disperse of needle rain, she would be knocked down directly.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Hua Lian’er never showed off her footwork at ho, fearing others might see and prepare ways to counteract it in advance.
When it ca to the crucial mont to use it, it wouldn’t be effective anymore.
"Can achieving great success in footwork really unleash forty-nine illusions?"
Chen Ping was also sowhat delighted inside.
Having used Seven Stars Step himself, he knew best the formidable nature of this footwork.
On the day of the battle by the river, even if the Straw Hat Man, with his exquisite swordsmanship of "Clear Wind Shadowless Sword," rged into the wind. He couldn’t suppress his body and footwork within a short ti...
Thus, he managed to withstand the opponent’s first wave of extrely formidable attack, suffering only minor injuries.
As for Zhuang Hongyi, if it wasn’t for her lightweight skill, seeking rely to escape, not engaging directly.
Had they tangled and exchanged moves on flat ground, Chen Ping was certain he could have struck her down early.
At the ti of walking seven illusions, it was already enough to make people indistinguishable from truth and false, extrely unpredictable between reality and illusion.
Now the footwork had reached the Mastery Realm.
With even a slight move of Seven Stars Step, twenty-one figures, layers upon layers, how would opponents fight that?
What’s most formidable, the advantage of this footwork doesn’t just end there.
Others’ footwork and body techniques, though likely very formidable too, yet exerting them with full power, would consu inner force.
But using Seven Stars Step, inner force would remain lingering and long; consuming while at the sa ti recovering.
Because Seven Stars Step inherently relied on absorbing heaven and earth primordial qi through footwork, storing inner qi into the Dantian Qi Sea.
Outputting while still inputting.
The ability to sustain combat was so strong it was frightening.
With such an advantage, Chen Ping felt his strength greatly increased...
Were it not for the existing inappropriate occasion, he would have exerted Seven Stars Step, walking a few hours, to see if there was a significant increase in the speed of internal energy accumulation.
The ability to flee was greatly enhanced, making Chen Ping feel a bit more secure.
Looking at the remaining Tribulation Points in the attribute panel, he shook his head.
’After this upgrade to Seven Stars Step and Sunset Divine Arrow, only 8 Tribulation Points remain, not enough to enhance Seven Stars Step once again.’
’Wandering Body Bagua Palm and Spring Leg, with the understanding of cultivation techniques and physical enhancent, have already reached an unupgradeable state.
As for the cultivation of Primordial Technique Iron Body Realm, it is still feasible... However, according to Han Xiaoru, this is a martial art that condenses force and forges the body, opening the acupoints and understanding technique.
The stronger the body essence, the stronger the Primordial Technique becos.
In essence, before the five organs are fully refined and transford, practicing the Primordial Technique does not enhance the body’s strength, it only adds so attack and defense power, and fails to fully stimulate the unique abilities of this cultivation technique.’
’In this way, there’s no rush to elevate the Primordial Technique Iron Body cultivation to the Mastery Realm; first, accumulate so Tribulation Points to enhance the Silk Thread Puppetry.’
[Silk Thread Puppetry], a cultivation technique dedicated to marrow cleansing and body refining, has now reached Great Success, refining three organs and greatly enhancing the body’s essence.
The next step to break through into the Perfection Realm requires 16 Tribulation Points.
Still lacking a bit...
Chen Ping is not in a hurry, having planned things, he now turns his attention to his arrow technique.
He reaches out and pretends to draw the bowstring, without even placing an arrow on it, he feels several acupoints within his body throbbing with threads of heat.
A slight movent of thought, the Seven Stars Internal Qi in his Dantian instantly transforms into the scorching Great Sun Scorching Sun Inner Qi...
This inner Qi gathers in his hands, fusing into the bow, emitting a mist-like red glow, as if it might ignite the entire tunnel.
Frightening Hua Lian’er to quickly retreat to the corner.
"Seventh Brother, I’m about to be cooked."
Alright, can’t practice here.
Such a powerful technique, focused solely on destruction, not nurturing the body, practicing this cultivation technique too much could lead to a shorter life.
Chen Ping shakes his head.
Thinking that fortunately, this inner Qi is his own, bearing his own mark, he’s not truly worried about burning himself.
However, if kept in this state for too long, he will inevitably beco cruel and bloodthirsty, with a fiery temper.
He thinks for a mont, the inner Qi reverts to Seven Stars Internal Qi...
His mind becos clear, spirit as calm as water, and no amount of adversity or danger seems to furrow his brow.
’So, the attributes of inner Qi can also influence the personality of the practitioner.’
Chen Ping has a faint insight.
The legacy in the Celestial Star Sect ruins is indeed strong, a single Seven Stars Step is no weaker than the world’s top cultivation techniques, with its mysteriousness surpassing a few.
Considering this, it’s worthwhile to find a way to learn the Seven Stars Swordsmanship at Changkong Martial Arts Hall with Gao Yue in the future.
Thinking further.
He has slain Jiang Teng, Gao Yue’s disciple, and there’s enmity between them.
Wanting to learn Seven Stars Swordsmanship would likely be truly challenging.
He heard from Cyan Hall disciples that Gao Yue once sought trouble with usual Chang Sansi at Cyan Hall, but rely gestured briefly with Zhuang Hongyi and Dong Jinzhong, not taking action seriously.
Thinking this way, the situation seems quite abnormal.
It doesn’t match his status and strength.
According to logic, since Gao Yue and Han Wushang are fellow disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect, brothers with entangled grievances, both established Martial Halls in Xingqing Prefecture.
For all these years, Gao Yue hasn’t been suppressed by Han Wushang but instead has made Changkong Martial Arts Hall prosper exceedingly... If he were weak, it wouldn’t make sense.
If he were truly weak, where did he get the audacity to target the Primordial Golden Body Technique?
Where would he get the ambition to emulate Master Guyu, a fifth-generation ancestor of the Primordial Sword Sect, hoping to achieve Sword Gang Stream?
It can only be said that he is very adept at hiding, and perhaps has so tacit understanding with the Seven-Colored Hall, not truly opposing them.
The tangled thoughts in his mind are gradually clarified by Chen Ping.
After the battle at Fireworks Alley, he roughly understands his current level of strength.
In terms of combat power, it’s slightly stronger than a typical expert who has opened the Four to Five Extraordinary ridians.
But if surrounded by many, it could be dangerous.
This doesn’t account for the possibility of top-tier Jianghu experts at the peak of the Eight ridians, or even those at the half-step Innate level who have unblocked the Ren and Du ridians...
If such figures are encountered, the best advice would be to run as fast as possible.
As for whether Innate level Grandmaster-grade experts would pursue him and Hua Lian’er.
This is not a concern.
These are figures on the Earth List.
If many such experts existed, wouldn’t the Beizhou Barbarians have deployed them all at the Celestial Gate Pass battlefield?
Is it necessary to be held back, unable to make progress, feeling stifled?
"So, the best course of action for now is to play a ti difference."
"When everyone believes I can only hide and evade, preparing to split up and search, that will be the best mont to break through."
Otherwise, when a dragnet search narrows the scope, concentrating the experts, even with wings, I won’t be able to fly away."
Chen Ping pondered for a while, his gaze flitted over to see Hua Lian’er habitually showing a tense and anxious expression.
Moved in his heart.
He tentatively asked, "Have you sensed sothing amiss again?"
He had always felt that the young girl might have so strange talent, that her paranoia might not be true paranoia, but rather a danger perception.
It seems sowhat akin to the illusion of "sensing danger without seeing or hearing it and evading."
Although not as exaggerated, the ability to faintly perceive is still imnsely valuable.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain how she escapes capture ti and again... rely relying on a half-baked Seven Stars Step, persistently moving around Xingqing Prefecture City without being caught by enemies.
"It’s happening again."
Hua Lian’er furrowed her small eyebrows tightly, clutching her chest and taking several deep breaths, whispering, "This place is no longer safe."
Her face showed hope, her big eyes being particularly sincere, clearly not wanting Chen Ping to think she was speaking nonsense, trying to sway his decisions.
"I believe you."
Chen Ping not only wasn’t annoyed but even slightly pleased in his heart.
Hua Lian’er’s kind of crisis detection doesn’t follow any logic. If used well, this ti, the assurance of breaking through is evidently larger.
At least, it provides a bit more ti to adapt.
