Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Divine Powers Transform and Appear at Will, A Beam of Round Light Pierces Through from Above (Big Chapter, Please Follow and Vote for Monthly Tickets)

At the moment he made his choice, his body suddenly tensed up.

Illusory currents of Qi erupted from a position seven or eight centimeters below his navel, joining with the original Innate Qi and continuously expanding, swiftly starting to compress his body.

The power of Innate Qi was far stronger than the energy possessed at the beginning of Martial Arts cultivation. This time, he couldn’t rely on the pressure from his body, for any increase in pressure might cause an actual explosion.

The system had likely taken this into consideration, which is why the Innate Qi was being generated bit by bit.

In He Ao’s mind began to surface the fragmented sixth page of the small book, and the operational patterns he had roughly summarized.

He started to use his thoughts to control a small portion of the Innate Qi to flow from below his navel, following the route depicted in the fragmented page.

Qi is the harmony of Heaven and Earth.

Human is the leader amongst all spirits.

Humans wield their Qi, obtaining its yin by descending.

Under He Ao’s control, the Innate Qi descended from the lower abdomen, passed the genital area, then split into two, flowing downward in sync along the backs of the thighs, through the insides of the knees, and straight to the soles of the feet.

Ascending to harness its yang.

At the same time, another small portion of Innate Qi was directed by him, flowing up past the navel to the tip of the spine, then splitting into two, moving along either side of the spine through the back, then passing through the armpits on each side, elbows, and straight to the palms of the hands before returning through the insides of the arms, over both shoulders, and eventually converging at the back of the neck, with the meeting energy flowing along the back of the head to the crown.

This multitasking was a significant test of mental strength and for He Ao, who had only just entered D-level, it might normally have been somewhat beyond his abilities, but after many soul-strengthening sessions, he was now capable of managing this situation.

A Martial Artist would nurture their mental strength throughout a long cultivation process, eventually achieving the ability to break through to higher levels.

But the main world had almost no environment for cultivation, and since He Ao could not cultivate, he had no choice but to use a workaround.

This time’s cultivation route was simple, without too many regions to traverse, but it was also difficult, requiring sufficient mental strength to control so many routes of Innate Qi operating at the same time.

Mental strength was a hard requirement; without reaching it, one wouldn’t even have the privilege to begin.

Just as the first batch of Innate Qi had arrived, the second wave He Ao was controlling surged up rapidly.

Streams of Innate Qi continuously formed within his body and he swiftly directed them, converging them at the crown and the soles of his feet.

Soon, He Ao began to feel an intense pressure coming from these two points.

The capacity to store Innate Qi at these two locations seemed far less than below the navel. After only a short period of operation, He Ao felt a trace of pain.

But he didn’t care, continuing to guide the Innate Qi within his body.

Strong wisps of Qi kept converging, and the pain he felt grew progressively stronger.

Quickly, He Ao felt his whole body start to twitch under the influence of pain.

Though the pain was within his endurance threshold, he ignored it and kept on,

The pain originated from an insufficiency in his bodily constitution. His mental strength sufficed, but his body only had the additional constitution of a Magician, which was a bit lacking, unable to withstand so much power.

As he continued guiding, He Ao’s entire body began to ache. His body started to tear where the Innate Qi continuously flowed through, then got reassembled by the subsequent Innate Qi, then torn again and reassembled.

He Ao opened his personal attribute panel.

At this moment, his bodily constitution was increasing rapidly, akin to the ticking hands of a clock.

He was completing the process of long-term nurturing his body with Innate Qi in an extremely short period of time.

The intense pain made him emit some unconscious grunts, but he did not stop even for a moment.

The Talent Sequences directly create a new organ for storing energy in the cells of a Transcendent’s body, thereby holding energy that transcends the body’s own.

Whilst Martial Arts enhance the body through a process of breaking and regenerating, using this postnatal method to improve bodily constitution.

However, this enhancement likely has its limits. Apart from creating a new organ like the Talent Sequences, due to the intrinsic strength limitations of human bodies, there is an upper bound to the power that physical enhancement can achieve.

At this point, He Ao felt that the crown of his head and the soles of his feet had reached the limit of energy they could withstand and were about to be completely torn apart.

And yet the Innate Qi within him continued to increase.

He could either use up some Innate Qi first to raise his bodily constitution, then continue cultivation, which would definitely waste a portion of the Innate Qi, resulting in a possibly reduced accumulation of Divine Sense afterward,

Or he could use another method to instantly boost his bodily constitution.

He Ao clenched his teeth tightly, and activated Super Memory.

An odd energy flowed into his body, sustaining every cell of his being.

In that instant, his physical condition surged dramatically. The soles of his feet and the crown of his head, which had been on the verge of bursting, suddenly felt relieved.

He Ao continued to actively channel the Innate Qi to these two areas.

With the help of Super Memory, his efficiency increased manifold.

And as his efficiency improved, the rate at which Innate Qi appeared inside his body also increased accordingly.

Soon, his body reached its limit once again.

At the soles of his feet and the crown of his head, massive and chaotic streams of ethereal Qi had accumulated.

These streams stretched his body, threatening to tear his entire being apart, as waves of intense pain assaulted him, causing He Ao’s body to arch.

Within these streams, it seemed as if something was slowly surging.

Just a little more, just a tiny bit more.

He Ao took a deep breath, mobilizing the immense power of Super Memory, gathering it at the two areas.

Compress!

The massive flow of Qi was furiously drawn together.

The extreme of Yin begets Yang, the extreme of Yang produces Yin!

In that instant, under immense pressure, the two streams of Qi rapidly converged, forming an ordered pattern amidst the chaos—three cyclones, a large one and two smaller ones, merged together and revolved around the crown of his head and the soles of his feet.

The cyclone at the crown of his head was grayish-white, emitting a cold and oppressive aura.

The two smaller cyclones at the soles of his feet were tinged with gold amid white, radiating a sensation as fiery and vigorous as the midday sun.

After the formation of these three cyclones, other streams of Innate Qi naturally began converging towards them, gradually stabilizing.

At this time, He Ao’s guidance was not yet over; seemingly endless streams of Innate Qi continued to be directed towards the crown of his head and his soles.

Who knows how long passed, when finally the Innate Qi ceased to be produced, and those stabilized cyclones were almost about to burst open He Ao’s body.

Following this, He Ao guided the three cyclones to move simultaneously.

The two smaller ones descended to a point seven or eight centimeters below the navel, merging into one, and the larger one settled into the dead center of his brow.

Almost at the instant when the upper and lower cyclones took shape and landed at these two points, a massive gravitational pull emanated from between them.

He Ao leveraged his mental power, resisting this gravitational force, controlling the movement of the upper and lower cyclones, bringing them slowly towards the center, and nearly at the same time, they settled right in the middle of his chest.

In the blink of an eye, the two cyclones drew fiercely close to each other, merging into one before rapidly generating an immense repelling force, trying instantly to separate. He Ao wielded the power of Super Memory to suppress the two cyclones.

After a violent collision and separation, the two cyclones quickly combined into a single large cyclone radiating a gentle force.

One orifice encompasses the creation of nature, three separate elixirs internally merge in harmony.

In that moment, the image from page seven of the little book appeared in He Ao’s mind.

He gathered the gentle cyclone at his chest and thrust it towards his brain.

Magical powers myriad as this manifests, a beam of complete light penetrates from above.

A dazzling white brilliance suddenly surged from within him, enveloping him like a giant cocoon.

The morning sun rose from the east, and resplendent morning light filled the entire firmament.

Streams of Divine Sense formed within his mind.

He Ao felt as though his entire body had undergone a metamorphosis, feeling unspeakably light.

One, two, three, four—a total of four Divine Senses formed within his mind, and together with the one remaining from before, that made five.

Looking at the normal progression to a C-level, he should have had only one Divine Sense upon advancing.

The system has given so much.

It was at this time that the first thread of energy from Dawn merged into the pure-white cocoon encompassing He Ao.

The dazzling white light instantly converged, melding into He Ao’s body. His physical condition continued to improve, pushing to the human limits and then, the remaining energy surged into his brain.

The sixth Divine Sense was born.

He Ao opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

The last thread of energy from Dawn that merged into his body seemed scant, but it possessed an extremely high quality.

He Ao walked to the windowsill and gazed at the twilight that covered the entire sky.

It felt as though the whole world was celebrating for him.

He closed his eyes, feeling his connection to the world growing closer.

That thread of energy was a gift from Heaven and Earth.

Qi Refinement and Spirit Transformation.

He Ao opened his eyes, a half-translucent pure white glow flashing across his ink-colored pupils.

At D-level, He Ao could only use his Divine Sense to look at things and discern some critical Energy Points.

But now that he had stepped into C-level, he could manipulate his Divine Sense with even finer control, to the extent that he could even send it out of his body to monitor the insides of objects.

However, this consumed a lot of energy, and his Divine Sense would probably run out quickly.

And he didn’t know whether it could detect the internal conditions of living beings.

He Ao took a deep breath, first headed to the study, poured several vials of Corpse Flower Solution into his mouth in rapid succession to replenish the consumption of Super Memory, and then he looked at his personal attribute panel.

[He Ao]

[Permission Level: Advanced Player]

[Physical Fitness: 782]

[Skills: Talent Sequences 272: Super Memory (C-level) (Ritual incomplete), Basic Firearm Proficiency, Talent Sequences 40: Magician (D-level)]

[Mechanical Modification: None]

[Martial Arts: Qi Refinement and Spirit Transformation (C-level)]

His physical fitness directly shot up from 267 to 782, a gain of 515 points. He grew a bit during the ascension process, but the most growth came from the last ’gift,’ which maxed out He Ao’s Martial Arts physical fitness.

He Ao remembered that the Magician’s physical fitness increased by 82, which means the physical limit of Martial Arts seemed to be 700.

He didn’t know if the limit of 700 was just for himself or for everyone.

This physical fitness was already far beyond that of Talent Sequences 102: Ruthless Bandit (590), which was centered around combat.

With the burst of increased physical fitness from Super Memory, He Ao’s physical fitness could reach the terrifying nine hundreds at its peak, equivalent to more than twice that of the average C-level.

Even disregarding all the strength from the Talent Sequences, a physical fitness of 700 combined with the versatile Divine Sense was enough to demonstrate the prowess of Martial Arts.

But as strong as Martial Arts were, the time consumed was also longer.

He Ao pondered the amount of Innate Qi he used for the ascension, and even in an environment like a ruin, rich with Transcendent power, without eating or drinking, it would probably take him twenty to thirty years of practice to amass enough, and this was with his Talent maxed out.

Besides, the ascension itself was extremely dangerous. Luckily, he had the boost from Super Memory, along with other enhancements to his physical fitness from different Talent Sequences, allowing him to suppress some issues and force his way through the ascension.

Ordinary Martial Artists who possessed Talent might spend their entire lives without ever reaching the threshold of C-level, and even if they did, most would die on the hurdle of ascension, carelessly burst by the tumultuous Innate Qi.

Overcoming this ascension was like undergoing a tribulation.

He Ao exhaled.

At that moment, he noticed a page emanating a faint grey glow that had appeared before him, seemingly out of nowhere.

The Forged Pages of Knowledge.

The left edge of the page was not smooth but jagged and twisted as if it had been forcibly torn from a book.

The moment He Ao picked up the page, information flooded his mind.

The gist involved how to use the page—simply think about the question you want to ask, but you can’t ask more than one question at a time. Questions strung together with ’and,’ or other conjunctions, were also counted as asking multiple questions.

Then came the cost of the page—those who steal knowledge will be pursued by it.

Without the detailed information from the system, the value of this page would be significantly reduced.

And the system marked out safe zones and specific risks for He Ao, so he then had a myriad of ways to deal with them.

For example, the final note from the forger that the system provided clearly stated, "After using it three times, make an effort to send the page away."

This meant that after three uses, the page might come under scrutiny, but only the page itself, not the user.

There was too much room for maneuver in this regard.

Used properly, this page could be an artifact.

However, first, He Ao still wanted to scrounge a favor from a good friend using it.

He looked at the page, recalling his first question in his mind.

"I want the ritual potion recipes for Super Memory from C-level up to A-level."

Within the potion recipes were the ritual formulas for the potions.

The page vibrated slightly, then displayed nothing.

...

He Ao recalled the system’s detailed information, ’Cannot ask for overly powerful knowledge.’

Kind of trashy.

He Ao thought for a moment, then continued, "I want the potion recipes for Super Memory from C-level up to B-level."

The page shuddered weakly.

...

He Ao felt a rant stuck in his throat.

Was it that the mystery of Super Memory was too profound, or was it just impossible to go for B-level?

Was this not as weak as a wish bottle that could grant only the wishes within its capability?

He Ao considered testing it with a B-level question but decided against it, as he had no especially urgent B-level questions at the moment.

This page had only three chances in total; better save it for a critical time.

After pondering for a moment, He Ao said, "I want information on how my Talent Sequence can perfectly advance to C-level."

The page jammed up again.

...

This time, it seemed to be a stumble over predicting the future.

To advance, one would need to consider various situations, involving future events. The page could only steal knowledge, not predict the future or make calculations and inferences based on its vast amount of knowledge about the potential happenings.

Well, it’s a replica, not good enough.

Could the original Book of Knowledge have such capability?

He Ao shook his head and returned to business, asking the baseline question from his heart, "I want the C-level ritual potion recipes for my Talent Sequence."

The page vibrated once,

and He Ao placed the Miracle Wand next to it.

The page continued vibrating, and amid the slow, continuous trembles, lines of text slowly emerged.
