Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Insane Leveling Up Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Insane Leveling Up A dark red Martial Arts Stele stood quietly within the room.
Jing Yan stood before the Stele, circulating his Primordial Energy, with his palm gently pressing on the stone.
This Stele, given to Jing Yan by Mu Liantian, was roughly the height of a person, its surface wrapped with a layer of faint red light halo flowing around it.
As Jing Yan’s Primordial Energy perated the Stele, the dark red light halo suddenly intensified.
Instantly, a stream of Dao Power surged out from within the Stele, flowing up Jing Yan’s arm and into his body.
An imnse quantity of Martial Arts information flooded into Jing Yan like a tidal wave.
A mont later, Jing Yan withdrew his arm, and the red light halo of the Martial Arts Stele completely vanished.
The Dao Power within the Stele was no more; it had effectively beco worthless, indistinct from any regular stone.
“Indeed, this is a very peculiar Martial Art,” Jing Yan’s gaze flickered.
Ordinarily, a Martial Arts Stele containing Dao Power could be absorbed by Martial Artists multiple tis.
In most cases, a brand new Martial Arts Stele held Dao Power that could be absorbed three to five tis.
However, after Jing Yan absorbed it once, the Dao Power within this particular Stele was entirely gone.
That ant the Martial Arts information inside had been utterly depleted, and no second Martial Artist could absorb and cultivate from it.
This was indeed odd.
Because Jing Yan could sense that no one else had used this Martial Arts Stele before him.
He must have been the first person to cultivate the Martial Art contained within it.
But now that he had absorbed the Dao Power, the Stele had turned into a scrap, suggesting that the Martial Art inside was truly peculiar, different from ordinary ones.
This situation differed from the two pieces of Sky Wings Martial Arts Stele that Jing Yan had encountered before.
Both pieces of Sky Wings Martial Arts Stele that Jing Yan possessed were incomplete, containing fragnted Dao Power.
It was natural for them to beco useless after Jing Yan’s absorption.
But the Dao Power in the Stele before him was intact, which left only one explanation: the creator of this Martial Arts Stele intended for the Martial Art within to be cultivated by only one person.
Standing in the room, Jing Yan closed his eyes slightly, reviewing the information he had just received.
“Holy Light Sword Technique!” Jing Yan quickly discovered the na of the Martial Art.
Moreover, Jing Yan understood what was so special about it.
The Holy Light Sword Technique indeed had no grade.
Because after roughly sensing the Holy Light Sword Technique, its power was rely at the level of a Lower Grade Martial Art.
What was the level of a typical Lower Grade Martial Art?
Specifically, it was not much different from the Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Sword Technique Jing Yan had cultivated previously.
But Jing Yan soon realized that unlike the Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Sword, the Holy Light Sword Technique’s grade could be further enhanced.
Initially, it was at the level of Lower Grade Martial Arts, but as one’s understanding and comprehension increased, the Holy Light Sword Technique could be raised to the Mid Grade Martial Arts level, akin to the Condensed Moon Three Waves.
Other Martial Arts like the Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Sword were like sealed containers.
In contrast, the Holy Light Sword Technique was like an open vessel.
You can’t continue to add anything to a sealed container, but you can keep adding new things to an open vessel.
When Jing Yan studied the Holy Light Sword Technique for the second ti, he vaguely perceived the key to elevating it from a Lower Grade Martial Art to a Mid Grade Martial Art.
He believed it wouldn’t take long before he could raise it to the level of Mid Grade Martial Arts.
Although currently, Jing Yan couldn’t see the key to elevating the Holy Light Sword Technique from Mid Grade Martial Arts to Upper Grade Martial Arts, one thing was certain: the limit of the Holy Light Sword Technique was definitely not just at the level of ordinary Martial Arts.
At the very least, it could be upgraded to the level of Human-level Martial Arts.
“Now, let’s begin and first raise the Holy Light Sword Technique to the Mid Grade Martial Arts level!” Jing Yan spent roughly two hours, comprehending the Holy Light Sword Technique very carefully.
Then, he took out his Skyfire Sword and began to practice.
Once, twice, three tis…
The room, though not spacious, was filled with sword light.
However, under Jing Yan’s control, the Red Sword Light’s power was restrained, causing no damage to anything inside the room.
After practicing the Holy Light Sword Technique eight tis, Jing Yan’s body gently vibrated.
The Holy Light Sword Technique had successfully advanced to the Mid Grade Martial Arts level.
Its power was now nearly on par with the Mid Grade Martial Arts Condensed Moon Three Waves.
Jing Yan didn’t stop; he continued to practice.
Practicing Lower Grade Martial Arts did consu Primordial Energy, but such expenditure was almost negligible for Jing Yan.
Even without any supplentation of Primordial Energy, he could practice continuously for several months.
However, when the Holy Light Sword Technique was raised to the Mid Grade Martial Arts level, the consumption of Primordial Energy drastically increased.
After practicing once, Jing Yan could clearly feel the depletion of his internal Primordial Energy.
Still, this level of consumption was bearable for Jing Yan.
He refrained from hastily using Spirit Stones to replenish his Primordial Energy and continued practicing.
After practicing thirteen tis, Jing Yan stopped and took out a Top-grade Spirit Stone to recover his Primordial Energy.
With one Top-grade Spirit Stone, his Primordial Energy was fully restored, and he continued with the fourteenth session of practice.
With each iteration, the power of the Holy Light Sword Technique increased continually.
After the twenty-second iteration had ended, the Holy Light Sword Technique’s power had reached the level of Upper Grade Martial Arts, on par with the might of the Moon Cutting Sword Technique.
Having attained the Upper Grade Martial Arts level, Jing Yan continued practicing, and the Primordial Energy he consud was sowhat terrifying.
After trying out one iteration, Jing Yan discovered that a complete iteration used up about one-fifth of his entire body’s Primordial Energy.
That is to say, without replenishing his Primordial Energy, he could at most perform the Holy Light Sword Technique five more tis in succession before depleting all his energy inside.
Jing Yan, however, didn’t care much about this; he was not stingy with his resources.
If his power could leap forward, what did spending so resources matter?
Thus, after every one or two iterations of practicing the Upper Grade Martial Arts Holy Light Sword Technique, Jing Yan would stop to recover the consud Primordial Energy with a Top-grade Spirit Stone.
Ti slipped away quietly without him noticing.
Jing Yan practiced the Holy Light Sword Technique for all 24 hours of the day, without differentiating between day and night.
Several days later, Jing Yan let out a deep breath with a heavy sigh.
“I’ve hit a bottleneck!” Jing Yan said, slightly frowning and shaking his head.
The current Holy Light Sword Technique was still just Upper Grade Martial Arts, but it was close to the level of Top-grade Martial Arts.
It was this very upgrade to Top-grade Martial Arts that made Jing Yan feel the obstruction.
Previously, he advanced from Lower Grade Martial Arts to Mid Grade Martial Arts, and from Mid Grade Martial Arts to Upper Grade Martial Arts without any hindrance, achieving successful upgrades.
But now, moving from Upper Grade Martial Arts to Top-grade Martial Arts, he encountered a barrier.
After pondering for a mont, Jing Yan started moving again.
He activated the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, attempting to fuse the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique with the Holy Light Sword Technique.
The New Moon Cutting Sword Technique, a fusion of the Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Sword, Condensed Moon Three Waves, and the Moon Cutting Sword Technique, was a New Martial Art with imnse power.
Before the attempt, Jing Yan couldn’t be sure that he would successfully fuse the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique with the Holy Light Sword Technique.
However, after the attempt, the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill did not disappoint Jing Yan.
Under Jing Yan’s practice, the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique began to successfully integrate with the Holy Light Sword Technique, albeit at a very slow pace.
Moreover, the Primordial Energy consud during practice was incredibly alarming.
Even with Jing Yan’s profound level of Primordial Energy, he found that he could not complete a single full iteration of practice before depleting all his energy.
Jing Yan could only practice a part of it, then absorb a Top-grade Spirit Stone to recover before continuing his practice.
To complete one full iteration, Jing Yan actually had to interrupt the process twice.
Of course, Jing Yan did not wait until all his Primordial Energy was exhausted before recovering; he would keep about half of his energy each ti.
Once over half of his Primordial Energy was consud, he would stop to recover.
This was also a precaution for Jing Yan.
In case all his Primordial Energy was depleted and he encountered so danger with no energy left to respond, it would be too late for regrets.
At the very least, keeping half the Primordial Energy within the Fog Vortex ensured that should any unforeseen trouble arise, Jing Yan could react imdiately.
Several more days passed.
“Boom!”
Finally, the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique fully integrated into the Holy Light Sword Technique, and at that mont, the Holy Light Sword Technique successfully upgraded to Top-grade Martial Arts.
A small smile played on the corners of Jing Yan’s lips.
Although the current Holy Light Sword Technique was just a common Top-grade Martial Arts, in terms of true power, it was likely not any less formidable than ordinary Human-level Martial Arts.
Additionally, the power of the Holy Light Sword Technique could still continue to be elevated.
After becoming Top-grade Martial Arts, the obstacle to increase had temporarily vanished, allowing the continued enhancent of its power.
The next barrier would be upgrading from ordinary Top-grade Martial Arts to Human-level Martial Arts.
However, at this ti, Jing Yan had no choice but to stop.
Because practicing and enhancing Martial Arts required the consumption of Primordial Energy, and his Top-grade Spirit Stones were nearly depleted.
It wouldn’t do to use Guiyuan Pills to supplent the consud Primordial Energy.
The Primordial Energy contained in Guiyuan Pills was originally not as abundant as that in Top-grade Spirit Stones, yet the price of Guiyuan Pills was far higher than that of Top-grade Spirit Stones.
Using Guiyuan Pills to recover Primordial Energy would be too wasteful.
So, it was necessary to sell the Guiyuan Pills for Spirit Stones or to trade them directly for Top-grade Spirit Stones.
“I really need to refine more Elixirs,” Jing Yan felt sowhat emotional.
His consumption was indeed terrifying.
Now, Jing Yan felt even more convinced that learning Alchemy was the right decision.
If it weren’t for his ability to refine Elixirs, Jing Yan wouldn’t know how else to obtain such a vast amount of resources for cultivation.
