Li Yun slowly exhaled, yet there was no trace of satisfaction on his face.
Despite the significant breakthrough in his cultivation, he knew very well that this was far from his limit.
The resources he had gathered were now completely exhausted, and without them, further progress in cultivation would slow down considerably. If he wished to continue growing stronger, he had no choice but to focus on another path.
His gaze sharpened slightly.
That path was the comprehension of Martial Dao Intents.
Li Yun closed his eyes and entered a state of deep ditation, imrsing himself in the essence of his intents.
Compared to improving cultivation, enhancing Martial Dao Intents was far more difficult. Even with his monstrous aptitude, progress was painfully slow and demanded imnse patience. Ti passed quietly as he devoted himself entirely to this task.
A full three months slipped by before any noticeable improvent appeared.
During this ti, his Lightning Intent and Sword Intent both advanced to 40 percent source mastery. anwhile, his Fla Intent and Wind Intent reached 30 percent mastery.
Although each intent had only improved by a small margin, the effort required to achieve this was imnse. The difficulty of raising Martial Dao Intents was clearly on an entirely different level compared to cultivation.
However, the rewards were equally astonishing.
Even a ten percent increase in each intent resulted in a trendous amplification of his overall strength. When all four intents were combined, the enhancent was not simply additive, but multiplicative, causing his combat power to surge to a completely new level.
After stabilizing his gains, Li Yun slowly opened his eyes.
Now that both his cultivation and intents had advanced, his attention shifted once more.
This ti, it turned toward Martial Arts.
During the Four Peaks Tournant, he had obtained two top grade profound rank martial arts as rewards. This was the perfect opportunity to study and comprehend them.
With a slight flick of his finger, the Heavenly Profound Ring on his hand emitted a faint glow. Two ancient manuals imdiately appeared in his palm.
The first was the Thunderfla Gale Sword Art.
This sword art required the fusion of three elents, naly fla, wind, and lightning.
"It seems the sect deliberately chose sothing suited to ," Li Yun murmured with a faint smile.
As he carefully read through its contents, he quickly realized how extraordinary this technique was. It allowed him to seamlessly integrate any of the three elents into his sword attacks, giving him remarkable flexibility in combat.
More importantly, the technique was divided into three distinct forms, each possessing its own unique strength.
The first form, Gale Ignition, combined wind and fla to create swift and burning attacks.
The second form, Thunderfla Severing, fused lightning and fla, resulting in explosive power and destructive force.
The third form, Tempest Collapse, brought together all three elents into a single devastating strike capable of overwhelming any opponent.
Each form was powerful on its own, yet when mastered together, they ford a complete and terrifying sword art.
The second manual was the Golden Buddha Palm.
Unlike the sword art, this technique was not limited to pure offense. It could be used both defensively and offensively, depending on how it was executed.
Li Yun’s eyes lingered on the two manuals, a thoughtful expression forming on his face.
With these techniques in his hands and his newly enhanced strength, his combat ability was about to undergo yet another transformation.
"Let see how long it will take to comprehend these two techniques," Li Yun murmured softly, his gaze lingering on the manuals in his hands.
After a brief pause, he continued thinking to himself, "I also need to begin cultivating the mid grade Profound Rank portions of my three elental cultivation arts."
A faint confidence surfaced in his eyes as he reflected on his current abilities. With his comprehension having reached the fifth tier, he believed that advancing these techniques to the ninth layer, or even beyond, would not be too difficult.
With that thought, Li Yun entered seclusion once again.
Ti passed quietly. When he finally erged, another three months had already gone by, making it a full six months since he had arrived at Grand Ascension Peak.
Standing within his courtyard, Li Yun slowly opened his eyes. A faint glow flickered within them as he assessed his progress.
"My cultivation realm has not increased much. I am still at the first level of the Qi Sea Realm, but my cultivation arts have advanced significantly," he said in a low voice, unable to conceal the excitent in his tone.
During these three months, his progress in cultivation techniques had been astonishing.
The mid grade Profound Rank section of the Overlord Thunder Scripture had reached the tenth layer.
The Wind God Raging Art had also reached the tenth layer.
The Great Sun Fla Scripture had likewise advanced to the tenth layer.
All three of his core cultivation arts had reached the sa level, forming a stable and powerful foundation within his body. Li Yun was confident that if he devoted another half a month, he could push them further and reach the fifteenth layer, the highest level of that stage.
However, he chose to end his seclusion early because his progress in other areas had already exceeded his expectations.
His focus shifted to the two newly acquired martial arts.
The Thunderfla Gale Sword Art and the Golden Buddha Palm had both reached the perfection stage of mastery. They stood just one step away from entering the true aning stage.
These were top grade Profound Rank techniques, and yet he had pushed both of them to such a level within only three months. If news of this were to spread among the disciples of the sect, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar.
Such a level of comprehension was simply unheard of in the entire Southern Martial Domain.
"My physical body has also grown much stronger," Li Yun muttered softly as he examined himself.
During the past three months, he had not only focused on cultivating his techniques and martial arts, but had also devoted a significant portion of his ti to tempering his body through the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture.
That effort had borne remarkable results.
His body refinent had now reached the third stage, the Steel Bone stage. At this level, his bones had undergone a complete transformation, becoming as hard and resilient as spirit steel. Spirit steel was known as an exceptional material used in forging high grade weapons and armor, yet his bones had now reached a similar level of toughness, if not surpassed it entirely.
This advancent greatly amplified the physical strength granted by the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture, pushing it to an entirely new level.
At the sa ti, his ninth tier secret art, the World Bearing Devil Suppressing Physique, had also advanced to its third stage. With this breakthrough, the weight of his body had increased to one thousand tis his original mass.
Such an increase brought terrifying power. Every movent he made carried imnse force. Even a simple step could shatter the ground beneath him, leaving behind a crater large enough to ruin an entire courtyard.
However, this overwhelming strength ca with a significant drawback. His movents beca extrely heavy and difficult to control. Every action, no matter how small, required him to exert precise control over his physical power. Even raising his hand or taking a step demanded careful regulation of his strength.
This was what Li Yun had spent much of the three months refining.
Through relentless effort and with the aid of his fifth tier comprehension, he gradually mastered the control over his qi required to move freely despite his imnse weight. What had once been a burden had now beco a perfectly controlled source of power.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he clenched his fist.
"With my current strength, am I invincible within the Qi Sea Realm?"
The thought lingered in his mind.
He felt an overwhelming confidence in his power, yet he understood that true strength could only be proven through battle.
