Chapter 147: Chapter 117 Is that it? [Request for monthly ticket!]_2

Chen Jichuan primarily cultivates the "Sword Map," with the "Sword Rising Clouds Skill" being his most proficient technique.

He also studied the "Water Classics," spending several decades to comprehend the "Eight Rivers Pulse Method," which enables the refinement of True Yuan within the meridians.

Simultaneously, he amplifies the surge of True Yuan into his Dantian, creating intense oscillations and violent Sword Qi within, resulting in further refinement of True Yuan.

In this way.

The speed and purity of True Yuan refinement far exceed that of ordinary cultivators.

Yet, Chen Jichuan remains unsatisfied: "These techniques are invaluable and serve me well, but implementing all of them is impractical. If I could integrate a few more similar methods, the speed and depth of refinement would further increase, allowing me to step into the Innate Fourth Realm and reach the Innate Extreme even faster!"

Thoughts stirred in Chen Jichuan’s mind.

Cultivation is not merely about blind diligence; it requires contemplation, insight, understanding, reflection, and summarization.

Such as the "Eight Rivers Pulse Method" found within the "Water Classics."

Or the methods from "Elephant Armor Skill" and "Overlord Armor" that nourish the muscles and bones through Inner Strength.

The former was integrated into the "Ten Thousand Sword Map."

The latter was employed in developing external skills.

Both greatly benefitted Chen Jichuan’s cultivation.

"During my time at the Three Realms Pass, I gathered numerous Inner Strength techniques, but most were mediocre, lacking the essential secrets contained in methods like the ’Sword Rising Clouds Skill’ or ’Eight Rivers Pulse Method.’"

Now back at the Mysterious Nether Sea, Chen Jichuan intends to continue searching for top-tier cultivation techniques to extract their valuable insights for his own use.

This requires luck, connections, as well as dedicated effort.

After all, every cultivation technique is a product of extensive effort and wisdom, holding countless secrets and profound truths. Negligence in understanding or application is not an option. The amount of effort required to comprehend one can hardly be imagined.

Take the "Eight Rivers Pulse Method," for instance.

Chen Jichuan grasped this method while casually studying the "Water Classics," investing nearly twenty years in the process.

However, the rewards were substantial.

Not only does it benefit the Dao Fruit World, but it can also be directly applied in the real world.

"When I meet Wuk Yuan Immortal Master, perhaps I can trade the ’Water Classics’ for his ’Changchun Skill.’"

Chen Jichuan pondered.

Then his thoughts returned to the reflections and insights gained in recent cultivation.

Chen Jichuan held the secret manual, revisiting and analyzing it, recording his thoughts and conclusions.

As the saying goes: a dull pencil is better than a sharp memory.

In moments of sudden inspiration, failure to immediately document it can often lead to complete forgetfulness later. Not only is this a loss, but such moments of regret can deeply disturb one’s mental state and hinder cultivation progress.

By writing it down, such issues are avoided.

Thinking while recording.

When the time felt right.

Chen Jichuan carefully stored the manual away and began cultivating the "Taiyin Refining Body Technique," strengthening his Divine Soul.

Just then.

Chen Jichuan suddenly caught a whiff of a floral fragrance, his brows twitched as a surge of joy rose in his heart: "Finally, they’ve arrived!"

...

Seven Immortals Island.

A shadowy figure, entirely cloaked in black, approached silently, without the slightest sound.

Standing at a distance.

The figure unveiled a square mirror in their hand, aiming it toward a courtyard ahead. The mirror’s surface flickered faintly, revealing a grand formation within.

"Green Jiao Flag."

"Twelve Azure Dragon Formation."

The black-clad figure scoffed lightly, as though indifferent, chuckling as they stowed the square mirror.

Moving carefully, they advanced.

Effortlessly avoiding triggering the formation, they arrived at the courtyard wall without incident.

"A fine array."

"Unfortunately, it cannot stop me."

The figure chuckled softly, hiding the square mirror in their robes, then formed hand seals and discreetly circulated their True Yuan.

Rustle rustle!

Within the courtyard, flowers suddenly swayed, releasing waves of fragrance, as if layers of illusions were materializing.

Once someone entered this state, their Divine Soul would become entranced, falling into an illusion realm.

This was the "Flower Mirror," a highly advanced Illusion Technique.

The figure secretly activated it, waiting until the fragrance filled the courtyard enveloping it in the illusion before leaping over the wall and heading straight for Chen Jichuan’s room.

Reaching the door.

They withdrew a bamboo flute from their sleeve, rubbing a pill into powder, which transformed into green smoke before being blown into the room.

Carefully waiting for a moment.

They noticed the breathing pattern inside gradually shift from hurried to calm.

"It’s done!"

Only then did they push the door open and enter.

Yet upon stepping in—

Clang!

A burst of Sword Qi suddenly flared, sharp and menacing.

"Damn!"

The black-cloaked figure turned pale with fright, immediately realizing they had fallen into a trap.

Quickly tapping their feet, they retreated outside, forgoing any use of Magic Skills. Instead, they tore a talisman from their sleeve. Leaves fluttered as if swept by the wind, carrying them away.

"Haha!"

"Where do you think you’re fleeing?"

As the wind rose, a booming laugh echoed—above and below, barriers formed like Heaven and Earth Nets, sealing the area completely.

The "Wood Escape Talisman" instantly became useless.

Just like hitting a spider’s web, their escape became futile.

Their hood fell back, revealing none other than Xu Tianfang, the Jade Spring Mountain leader!

"Chen Jichuan! You had this all calculated?!"

Exposed and with no options left, Xu Tianfang dropped any pretense, glaring at Chen Jichuan and demanding an answer.

Chen Jichuan didn’t bother responding, summoning his Flying Sword and aiming directly for Xu Tianfang’s neck.

"You dare to kill me?"

Xu Tianfang sneered coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, a burst of golden light flew out, intercepting Chen Jichuan’s Flying Sword.

Upon closer inspection.

It turned out to be a pair of Magic Artifacts known as the "Golden Spear."

Using the "Insight Skill," Chen Jichuan observed closely—

[Magic Artifact: Haoyang Spear]

[Level: Top-level]

[Description: Dual Spears designed to counter the fiercest Magic Artifacts of any opponent. Even with insufficient cultivation, you can wield them effectively to neutralize attacks without harm.]

"An impressive Haoyang Spear."

Chen Jichuan’s eyes lit up with delight.

Top-level Magic Artifacts rank just below Magical Treasures, their power undeniable.

Many Qi Refining Immortal Masters use top-level Magic Artifacts as their primary tools.

This "Haoyang Spear" blocks enemy artifacts, making it an excellent self-defense weapon.

"It’s mine now!"

Chen Jichuan formed seals, commanding both his Flying Sword and the Heaven and Earth Net simultaneously.

The Heaven and Earth Net suppressed all techniques, severing Xu Tianfang’s connection to the Haoyang Spear.

The Mystic Guiding Sword spun.

In a flash, it enclosed the disconnected pair of Spears and retrieved them.

"What a treasure!"

Chen Jichuan chuckled as he examined the Spears.

But his offense didn’t cease—seeing Xu Tianfang panicked and beginning to escape, Chen Jichuan sharply turned, opened his mouth—

"Kill!"

His mastery of Sword Qi was unparalleled; words alone could injure.

Eight streaks of Sword Qi tore through the air, charging toward Xu Tianfang.

"Quick!"

Xu Tianfang summoned a bronze bell, which radiated faint spiritual light.

But within the Heaven and Earth Net, where could artifacts even function? The bell immediately fell to the ground, struck by four strands of Sword Qi that sent it flying. It landed in Chen Jichuan’s hands, while the other four strands joined together to shred Xu Tianfang into eight pieces.

Thunder ignited earth-fire.

The long-hidden scorching flames erupted, seizing the moment to engulf Xu Tianfang, burning his flesh to ash and his soul to oblivion.

From start to finish.

He wasn’t even given a chance to plead or threaten.

...

"This all?"

Chen Jichuan glanced at the ashes scattered in the courtyard and couldn’t help but laugh.

Xu Tianfang seemed formidable.

But first, he fell victim to the "Cooking Rice and Meat Spell," his body harboring the latent fire.

Then he stumbled into the Heaven and Earth Net, where all techniques were nullified.

His artifacts and skills were entirely suppressed.

How could Xu Tianfang even hope to compete against Chen Jichuan?

In just a few moves, he was cleaved apart by Sword Qi, incinerated by fire, and erased from existence.

"Public duty?"

"You were looking out for me?"

Feeling utterly gratified, Chen Jichuan smiled contentedly.

With a wave of his sleeve, he gathered Xu Tianfang’s ashes into a heap.

A paper doll leaped from his robes, transformed to human size, grabbed the heap of ashes, and bounded off to the edge of the island to scatter them into the ocean.

From this moment forward.

Xu Tianfang’s final traces were buried in the boundless sea, never to be found again.
