As Su Changkong performed the Guiding Technique in conjunction with his bodily movements, a large amount of Spiritual Energy converged and formed a visible mist around him, making him appear like a banished immortal who had descended to the mortal world.
Massive amounts of natureās spiritual energy continuously circulated within Su Changkongās body. He seemed to have transformed into a Spirit Vein himself, able to gather and produce natureās spiritual energy.
The sensation was incredibly wonderful!
Originally, the Spiritual Energy was extremely violent, and even a Martial Saint couldnāt absorb it directly. It had to be refined and transformed into their own power before they could use it.
However, in Su Changkongās perception, as his Guiding Technique continuously improved and progressed, these violent streams of natureās spiritual energy became gentle, as if they had become part of his body.
Su Changkong attempted to use these streams of natureās spiritual energy to temper his sinews and bones, making them more in tune with Heaven and Earth Nature, just like a Spirit Vein!
The violent natureās spiritual energy that entered his body occasionally brought bursts of excruciating pain, causing damage to Su Changkongās physical veins, but such minor injuries were no different than a hair breakage for him who possessed the body of a Demon Monster.
Time elapsed second by second, and Su Changkong was completely immersed in exploring new realms and levels of Martial Arts.
"Guiding Technique (11th Level Shaking Ancestral Brilliance 57%)", "Guiding Technique (11th Level Shaking Ancestral Brilliance 59%)", "Guiding Technique (11th Level Shaking Ancestral Brilliance 61%)"ā¦
In this process, Su Changkongās body underwent a metamorphosis, and the veins within his body gradually metamorphosed.
The veins gradually turned silvery white and then transparent, becoming ethereal, dreamy and hazy as if each vein was a Spirit Vein!
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
Heaven and earth trembled, and the spiritual energy from nearly ten thousand miles around violently rolled and converged towards Su Changkongās location, stirring like a tidal surge, as if lifting a tide of Spiritual Energy.
That enormous amount of unrefined natureās spiritual energy could burst an ordinary Divine Body Martial Saint alive, but as it infused into Su Changkongās body, he remained calm, without a trace of discomfort.
Buzzing sounds filled the air!
Su Changkongās veins became dreamier and more transparent; inside his body, the fourth Divine Seed began to slowly condense.
This sight would dumbfound any onlooker, for the extent of spiritual energy this triggered was beyond imagination!
Normally, a Martial Saint of Entering Saint Third Layer Heaven would generally condense three Divine Seeds. Each Divine Skill achieved increases the difficulty exponentially, and producing a fourth Divine Seed was almost as arduous as reaching the sky!
Each Divine Skill Su Changkong mastered was his unique path among Heaven and Earth. Now breaking the limit of three, he cultivated the fourth Divine Skill, something extraordinary that no ordinary transcendent being could achieve.
"Guiding Technique (12th Level Transcend the Saint 1%)"
The fourth Divine Seed inside Su Changkong began to condense, formed out of a substance seemingly akin to Nothingness, quiet and illusory.
This fourth Divine Seed born from the breakthrough of the Guiding Technique triggered a huge amount of natureās spiritual energy, which it absorbed, allowing the Divine Seed to grow swiftly. Divine Patterns effortlessly formed on its surface, the first one, the second oneā¦ endlessly!
"The Guiding Technique... has finally broken through!"
Su Changkong let out a breath. There was a strange expression on his faceāthis fourth Divine Skill was not ordinary and could compare to any of his other three Divine Skills.
The effect of this Divine Skill, crafted through the Guiding Technique, was singular and related to natureās spiritual energy.
"My fourth Divine Seedā¦ can produce natureās spiritual energy!"
A trace of astonishment flashed through Su Changkongās eyes.
In fact, the overall amount of Spiritual Energy in Heaven and Earth is limited. Even Spirit Veins only functioned to gather natureās spiritual energy.
Yet Su Changkongās fourth Divine Skill was capable of producing natureās spiritual energy, completely defying common sense!
This meant that even if the realm were to deplete in the future, and the Spiritual Energy faded, Su Changkong could still cultivate during such times, self-sufficiently, even though progress might be slow.
Divine Skills are about turning the impossible into possible.
Moreover, the speed and coverage of the Guiding Technique in gathering natureās spiritual energy had become incredibly exaggerated, effortlessly drawing in spiritual energy from ten thousand miles around!
"Giant Whale Devours the Sky!"
Su Changkong suddenly took a deep breath. In an instant, the sky and the sea changed color as massive amounts of Spiritual Energy, accompanied by thunderbolts and lightning, poured into Su Changkongās body, causing it to swell dramatically. His body accommodated a large amount of natureās spiritual energy, utilizing it for his own purposes.
"Level 12 Guiding Technique, in conjunction with my Giant Whale Devours the Sky, can instantly fill every inch of my bones with Spiritual Energy. I can make every strike release all the Spiritual Energy and then quickly return to peak condition!"
Suk Changkongās expression held a trace of excitement.
Once the Whale Technique reached Level 12, aside from the Giant Whale Body Technique, Su Changkongās Giant Whale Devours the Sky could, as long as his body could withstand it, devour the external natureās spiritual energy for his own use. This unlimited enhancement could also release all the absorbed Spiritual Energy at once, unleashing an attack far beyond his limits.
However, it was only powerful enough for one strike and required time to reaccumulate natureās spiritual energy.
But now, with Level 12 Guiding Technique, Su Changkong could manipulate natureās spiritual energy from tens of thousands of miles around. This was like having a giant power bank; even if he discharged all the Spiritual Energy in his body with one strike, it would swiftly refill!
This was astounding! It meant that what was once his strongest killer move had become a conventional attack he could unleash casually!
And that wasnāt all; Su Changkong felt he could achieve even more.
With a breath!
Su Changkong focused his thoughts, and large amounts of natureās spiritual energy gathered before him. This spiritual energy turned into a mist and gradually crystallized into droplets of crystal-clear liquidābeautiful and flawless.
It was Primordial Liquid!
"I really... seem to have become a human-shaped Spirit Vein, capable of refining Primordial Liquid from natureās spiritual energy!"
Su Changkong looked at the droplet of Primordial Liquid in his hand, his astonishment immeasurable, a hint of a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
Primordial Liquid, this was a treasure born only in places rich in Spiritual Energy; it was the common currency among the Martial Saints of Ancient Holy Country. Those Ancient Sects and Ancient Clans controlled super Spirit Veins, ensuring a constant supply of Primordial Liquid.
But Su Changkong could refine Primordial Liquid artificiallyāhow amazing was that?
"I only advanced to the Divine Body Realm not long ago and have just over six hundred Divine Patterns. To grow to the limit, I need a vast array of cultivation resources. But my Guiding Technique can easily obtain Primordial Liquid to supply my growth. To forge my Divine Body to the limit is effortless, given enough time!"
Su Changkong couldnāt help but feel enlightened.
With each additional Divine Pattern, the resources consumed increased. Normally, a Martial Saint in the Divine Body Realm needed a multitude of resources and time to reach the upper limit of three thousand Divine Patterns.
Su Changkong possessed four Divine Seeds; theoretically, his Divine Bodyās limit could accommodate four thousand Divine Patterns, with a higher cap and consequently much more resources required!
But the Guiding Technique could refine Primordial Liquid, easily maintaining Su Changkongās Divine Body growing at maximum rate every moment, reaching the Divine Bodyās limit needing only time, no longer worrying about cultivation resources!
"The Guiding Technique reaching Level 12... has brought me tremendous benefits; I myself am a super Spirit Vein!"
A grin appeared on Su Changkongās lips; all his Divine Skills could complement each other, exerting a cumulative effect far greater than the sum of its parts.
Name: Su Changkong (49 years old)
Remaining Lifespan: 3700 years
Potential Value: 440 points
Collecting his emotions, he opened the attributes panel to take a glance. The breakthrough of the Guiding Technique had increased his lifespan, nearing the four thousand-year mark.
"Itās time to leave... Iāll visit the old friends and then return to the Ancient Holy Country. The place is rich in Spiritual Energy, better suited for my cultivation."
Su Changkong stood up; the breakthrough to Level 12 in the Guiding Technique was crucial for him, allowing him to quickly reach his Divine Skillsā limits.
But this wasnāt enough; he was still powerless against that Heavenly Demon. He needed to become stronger until he could matchāor even surpassāthe Heavenly Demon!
"Next, I may need to strive to master Great Divine Power!"
A spark flashed in Su Changkongās eyes. Reaching the limit of the Divine Body was just a matter of time for him.
Mastering Great Divine Power could enable him to face any enemy with confidenceānot powerless as he had been against the Heavenly Demon!
