Chapter 702: Chapter 75 The World’s Cultivation Techniques Are All Copied

The incomplete Divine Abnormality refers to unique phenomena like the ’Bright Mirror Heart’.

This kind of abnormality is extremely special. From the beginning, it encompasses the core Divine Skills needed for the future development of Sects, similar to the Taibai Forbidden Seed of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, which is the foundation for many future Divine Skills.

The core Divine Abnormality of each Sect is so crucial that it even exceeds the importance of the Martial Vein Array Diagram; because while the Array Diagram can be improved and redone, the core Divine Abnormality is fundamental, much like An Jing’s ’Grasping Heavenly Moment’, which is essentially unchangeable. It should be various skills and Arts of Magic that adapt to it, not the other way around.

An Jing’s own six Divine Abnormalities, apart from Pupil Fire, each could serve as a core Divine Abnormality, marking his uniqueness. For other Cultivators, having more core abnormalities is not necessarily better; compatibility is most important.

In Huai Xu, compatibility depends on the Fate Pattern.

In the Tianyuan Realm, compatibility depends on the Spirit Root.

For An Jing today, designing a Divine Abnormality is not difficult. Essentially, a Divine Abnormality is a configuration that integrates a portion of the core of Arts of Magic and the Formation Base. As long as one is sufficiently talented and does not mind continuing to invent their own Arts of Magic and Divine Skills to become a founder of a sect, Divine Abnormalities can be designed very personally.

In fact, for founders of Great Sects, creating their own core Divine Abnormalities was much more convenient than it is for later generations, as they only needed to consider what was comfortable for their own use, allowing many personalized elements. The second and third generations have many more factors to consider.

This is also why sects that have founders who were Manifesting Holiness only have a Divine Repository at most for their second and third generation practitioners, and even later generations, because without a brilliantly talented revivalist to re-integrate and modify the whole sect’s cultivation method into a more universally accepted conventional lineage, it will always remain a lesser sect.

The Martial Vein Array Diagram An Jing discussed with Huo Qing is simple in requirement: robust body and life force, capable of being used as a formation for Body Refinement adapting various Formations.

This design concept originates from the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban. Thus An Jing arranged for Huo Qing the Spiritual Fiend’s Pupil Fire, the Space Void’s Circulatory Organs, the Material Image’s Jade Marrow Bone, and ’Strength from Thought’ as central coordination; using the Circulatory Organs to refine the Spiritual Fiend, Pupil Fire to concentrate power, Jade Marrow Bone to bear strengthening, and Strength from Thought for explosive outlets.

Next, only a Divine Abnormality with Chrono-Light characteristics, capable of compressing and accelerating the operation of Spiritual Fiend is needed to complete this cycle, using wood combustion to create fire, and fire to burn objects to strengthen the body, properly referred to as ’Grass and Wood Withering and Flourishing Return to Flame Soil’.

When inactive, it is ’Dead Wood’; while operating, it becomes ’Burning Wood’, very suitable for someone like Huo Qing who appears to be an Array Master but is actually a Martial Cultivator of good nature.

With this idea, the design of the Divine Abnormality becomes very aggressive; Huo Qing is quite interested in trying it himself, seeking how to find the right spots in his body for embedding the Divine Abnormality, an art cleverly similar to learning formations.

"If I can use my own wisdom to roughly design this Divine Abnormality, even though not perfecting the details, my cultivation in the Formation Path can reach the Foundation Establishment Realm,"

Those were Huo Qing’s exact words.

The design related with Nian Quan is even simpler—the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root does not need to consider the coordination of multiple spirit roots, only the most basic creation and suppression is necessary.

Metal produces water, and since Nian Quan practices swordsmanship, water also needs to be condensed to turn into the vast Heavenly River waterfall. Thus, the foundational Divine Abnormalities An Jing selected for him, which can all condense Spiritual Fiend, are ’Pupil Fire’ with the flowing Chrono-Light of ’Frost Mercury Blood,’ the Space Void’s ’Dantian Sea’ or ’Circulatory Organs’, and as a central coordination, similarly refining the spirit, ’Sharp Divine Abnormality’, all capable of turning water into ice, transforming babbling brooks into rushing streams, matching with the Heavenly River Sword Skills.

Thus, he only needs to design a ’Material Image’ related Water Element Divine Abnormality, likely associated with ice, and his Martial Way Formation Map ’Cold Water and Smoke Cold Swinging Snow Blade’ design is complete.

This sounds similar, even identical, to the matching of Divine Abnormalities of An Jing’s master, Mingguang Dust.

Indeed, this is so.

An Jing is copying the ideas of Mingguang Dust, designed for Nian Quan who mainly practices refining Spiritual Fiend rather than Body Refinement.

All cultivation methods are a big copy; predecessors have already developed them, just slightly integrate and squeeze it, and it counts as a new lineage—more originality can be added later, along with a bit of personal creativity.

If you can’t even imitate, how can you accumulate experience and create something on your own?

"Isn’t this just alchemy?"

There you have it. Soon enough, original ideas came.

Regarding An Jing’s design, Nian Quan had his unique perspective—the Divine Abnormality is a Formation Base, but its condensation process is very similar to alchemy, using one’s own body as a Pill Furnace to refine a Formation Base integrated with the core of Arts of Magic—is this not essentially refining an inner core?

Moreover, the divine intention of this Material Image can also apply the thought process of Water Condensing Pill.

Because of his talent, Nian Quan’s approach in this area is somewhat clearer than Huo Qing’s; An Jing just proposes a concept, and he already has his own direction for development, hardly needing much assistance from An Jing except occasionally to come over for testing.

Yes. One of An Jing’s strongest points in creating Cultivation Techniques lies in his ability to use his ’Tai Shi Taiyi’ Formation Realm for simulation tests.

He faces the Seven Fiend Tribulation with complete Yin and Yang and the Five Elements; simulating these ordinary Formation Realm slightly below his own is effortless, even if the approach is wrong and fails, it won’t harm him, just disperse the Tai Shi Yuan Evil.

Through such a continuous trial and error simulation, An Jing can both practice his control over various properties of Spiritual Fiend and absorb the cultivation inspirations and ideas from Huo Qing and Nian Quan.

These Martial Vein Array Diagrams were indeed created for his friends’ future Martial Cultivation, but also for An Jing’s own future.

Even now, neither Huo Qing nor Nian Quan possess a core Divine Abnormality and cannot unleash the true power of these Martial Vein Array Diagrams, whereas An Jing can temporarily replace them using ’Grasping Heavenly Moment’ and ’Heaven and Earth Root’, achieving the originally designed efficacy.

In other words, he can now accumulate Spiritual Fiend in his daily life, and explode with power in battle to swiftly enhance his physical quality, or he can condense Water Evil to slash out the vast and mighty Sword of the Heavenly River.

This is the proper way to utilize the Mars Blood Fiend and Upper Chen Water Evil. An Jing had not possessed the corresponding cultivation methods before, but now he has designed them based on a friend as a template.

Continuously experimenting and creating to forge new paths in cultivation is utterly enchanting for cultivators; it is precisely because all three of them were immersed in this joyful atmosphere of learning and cultivation that time seemed to fly by.

Moreover, he wasn’t sure if it was just an illusion.

After imparting Martial Arts, the ’Ancestor Dragon Seed’ within An Jing seemed to have developed slightly, as if leaping for joy.

A regular cultivator certainly wouldn’t be able to sense this, but inherently, the Ancestor Dragon Seed is a ’Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root’, extremely sensitive to the feedback of heaven and earth.

This was clearly a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao’s joy.

Could spreading Martial Arts also gain Heavenly Favor?

"Martial Artists inherently bring great benefits to the world after death; your ’Spiritual Root Martial Way’ might not be as effective as the Life Chart Martial Way, but it is still much stronger compared to the Qi Refinement Immortal Path,"

In response to An Jing’s doubts, Subdue Evil said: "If I were the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Realm, I would definitely hope that these cultivators stop practicing those Immortal Paths that require absorbing heavenly secrets for personal longevity, and switch quickly to a Martial Way that can benefit the world and purify Demonic Qi."

"Then the new Martial Way I created in Embracing the Void should also receive feedback, right?"

Thinking of this, An Jing felt somewhat excited—his friends in the Tianyuan Realm now had a brand new Martial Arts cultivation method, but his brothers in the Embracing the Void Realm still did not have it.

Due to him, Cang Linzu awakened the ’Jidu Star Destiny’, yet still lacked suitable Martial Meridian formations and subsequent cultivation techniques. Although he was only at the threshold of Inner Strength, the absence of a matching cultivation method would slow down his progress.

As his ’Main Star’, An Jing naturally felt obligated to design a unique set of Martial Meridian formations for him, to pave his future path.

Furthermore, An Jing had a premonition.

He now owned the Sky Sword Mountain Range as a base and had gained widespread recognition and trust in the Tianyuan Realm. This recognition and trust aligned perfectly with the ’Star Suppressing Faith’.

As long as he provided Cang Linzu with a cultivation method to fully match his Fate Pattern...

His third ’Seven Luminaries and Seven Fiend Life Star’ named ’Star Suppressing’ would also be awakened!

What he thought, he did.

Jidu is the residual Qi of earth and also the shadow of Heavenly Light. An Jing immediately planned to collect some earth-related Spiritual Objects and cultivation methods, and then gather some shadow-related heritage Spiritual Objects as design references.

For the current An Jing, obtaining these items required just a word, and the folks at Third Middle School would gather them for An Jing.

But these items and cultivation methods, which An Jing would use when traveling incognito in the future, were not something he’d foolishly display to the corporation; he naturally needed to keep some secrets and proceed quietly.

"I’ll handle it immediately."

Upon An Jing’s request, Huo Qing would naturally satisfy it at the earliest.

His eyes sparkled as he immediately began contacting various merchants, purchasing the necessary materials through untraceable underground channels from the black market and gangs.

If everything went smoothly, An Jing’s order today would arrive tomorrow, absolutely not delaying his cultivation research.

But then, the unexpected happened.

"..."

Having received some unexpected news, Huo Qing frowned and turned to An Jing, saying, "There’s a delay. It might take some time to gather these materials."

"What happened?"

An Jing, who was initially practicing with closed eyes, raised his gaze toward the serious-looking Huo Qing: "What kind of unexpected event occurred?"

Huo Qing shook his head: "Gang conflicts, Mrs. Rusty Feather’s warehouse was destroyed, and funds can’t be mobilized in time, blocking the underground channels."

"Not just that," he added. "Our warehouse in Chonggang Town seems to have been attacked as well."
