Broken Mountain Spirit Blade Qi Secret Manual (Perfection)

Nine Poisons Secret Manual (Yellow Level Grade A) (Uninitiated (0/16))

Xuanwu Body (Perfect)

...

It had to be said, increasing the deduction probability was extremely difficult. It was fine at the lower levels, but now... Even with Song Cheng trying every method he could think of, he could no longer increase it even a little bit.

But when he thought about it carefully, it actually wasn’t surprising.

This "extremely difficult" was actually in the context of a "short time."

But was this "Longevity" talent about "how you fare in a short time"?

Song Cheng possessed longevity. In peaceful times, a hundred years would pass like the snap of a finger.

And a hundred years amounted to over 250,000 days, so even with low deduction probabilities, it didn’t matter.

Forget a hundred years. A thousand or ten thousand years were nothing to "the infinitely long-lived."

What Cultivation Technique couldn’t be deduced?

So, the saying "deduction probability is low, and it gets harder to improve at higher levels" was relative.

For "Longevity People," this fundamentally wasn’t difficult.

However, the environment Song Cheng was in was a treacherous, constantly troublesome one and had a touch of doomsday catastrophe to it, hence it was "difficult."

And if one truly wanted to rapidly improve, the only way wasn’t "to shut oneself away and slowly wait for points to increase," but to go to a higher tier sect, find powerful Cultivation Techniques, and then quickly enhance through point allocation.

" Heaven, Earth, Mysterious and Yellow, Grade A, B, C, D"...

The yellow level was still possible to deduce.

But if aiming higher, this condition would become more apparent.

You either waited patiently, living well, and after a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years, let it happen naturally.

Or explore the world, join sects, obtain Cultivation Techniques, and achieve all at once.

How to choose?

That’s up to you.

Song Cheng was also speechless.

He certainly hoped for the former.

With longevity, why would anyone want to engage in battles when they could enjoy life?

Delicious dishes were never tiring to eat, fine wine never boring to drink, beautiful women never enough to love, and anything said to become tiresome... was just sour grapes from those who couldn’t attain it.

Living long was simply wonderful.

After a bout of random thoughts, he wrapped an arm around Ying beside him.

"Master, I... I’ll go call Ling." Though Ying trembled, she still gritted her teeth, wanting to fight, but quickly realized she was already exhausted. Before, she was shy about "sharing a bed with Ling," but now she only hoped that her good companion could share the burden.

She was too arrogant to think she could fight the master alone.

Song Cheng said, "You sleep, I’ll go sit in the courtyard for a bit."

"Master! Ying is useless!"

The concubine maid said self-blamingly.

Song Cheng paused, couldn’t help but laugh, then ruffled the young maid’s hair and said, "What are you thinking? Sleep!"

With that said, he stepped over Ying’s body, put on loose robes, and walked outside.

’"Xuanwu Nine Forms," deduce, one hundred seventy-eight times, until successful.’

Deduction probability was 1.28%, and to calculate the success rate, the inverse method had to be used. The probability of succeeding in one hundred deductions was about 72.4%, and for one hundred seventy-eight times, it was 90%.

If this still failed, Song Cheng would directly allocate spare points into the "Nine Poisons Secret Manual," cultivating it to Perfection.

In an instant, infinite sensations surged in his heart.

"Xuanwu Nine Forms" was definitely not an ordinary Qi Realm Technique.

Because things like the "Broken Mountain Spirit Blade Qi Secret Manual" and the "Nine Poisons Secret Manual" were focused on one force and one form, while his "Xuanwu Nine Forms" involved a hundred forces and over ten forms...

This Qi Realm Technique obtained through deduction naturally rose with the tide.

For this reason, Song Cheng was willing to spend a large number of points on deduction.

In an instant, countless mysterious sensations surged in his heart.

The youth swung his fists, trained force, practiced form, Gang Qi surging across the surface of his body, ebbing and flowing.

The dense Gang Qi surged like tides within his body.

Each of his attacks could generate immense power, yet attempting to release the Qi externally was rather difficult.

Luckily, he had already learned the "Broken Mountain Spirit Blade Qi Secret Manual," so he understood the secret of "Breaking the Body," and it was this understanding that doubled the deduction probability.

This secret was "condensation."

Gang Qi spread evenly over the body.

But "condensation" was the method of transporting Gang Qi, concentrating it at a point, then guiding it out, naturally enabling it to break the body.

The Blade Qi was shapeless, capable of reaching over ten zhang, and those beneath the Perfection of Form Realm couldn’t even withstand a single cut.

As for the ultimate use of the Qi Realm, it was "Phantom Shadow."

"Phantom Shadow" was the extreme of "condensation," typical of "holding one’s breath and striking desperately," and if unsuccessful, one would surely fall into a relatively weakened state afterward.

It was a forced increase in power, a rapid attack.

Therefore, the third move of the "Broken Mountain Spirit Blade Qi Secret Manual," "Giant Spirit," was not to be used until the last moment.

Those like the Great Hall Master Tie Zhenyi and the Great Estate Master Ouyang Sha had already mastered "Phantom Shadow." What they did daily was hone themselves, maintain their peak, and swallow Pills, consume Demon Beast meat, trying to strengthen the Qi within.

But Qi... how hard is it to improve?

One could either make a move and expose a flaw, or... fight with a single breath.

However, the youth’s Gang Qi had already reached an almost perfect ultimate state.

If the Great Hall Master and Great Estate Master’s Qi was a half-filled bottle of water, his... was nearly full.

Condensation, guidance, striking...

The youth dripped with sweat, again and again painstakingly comprehending.

Who knew how long had passed.

Finally... at some point, he successfully found that opportunity.

As they say, true intention could cut through metal and stone, and so it was.
