Chapter 238: Divine Illumination Skill_1
Gu Chen's mind probed into the jade slip in his hand, and in an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the jade slip, flooding his mind with a massive amount of information.
This was one of the top internal cultivation techniques among the Superior Martial Skills within the Pure Yang Martial Sect, known as — Divine Illumination Skill!
Once mastered, the Divine Illumination Skill endowed one with exceedingly robust Gangqi and an exceptionally strong recovery ability, whether it be in terms of rejuvenating one's energy or healing wounds, it had miraculous effects.
And the most important aspect was that after cultivating the Divine Illumination Skill, a martial artist's Gangqi would automatically transform into Divine Illumination Gangqi. Once released, the Divine Illumination Gangqi could shine like divine light, illuminating the world and purifying all things.
Subtly, it seemed that the rank of the Divine Illumination Skill was even higher than that of the Great Sun True Skill that Gu Chen was currently practicing.
Just as there are differences in strengths among Superior Martial Skills.
The Divine Illumination Skill could indeed be considered the most powerful legacy among the Superior Martial Skills of the Pure Yang Martial Sect.
As long as he switched to cultivating the Divine Illumination Skill, Gu Chen wouldn't have to worry about not obtaining the Sun Flame Stone and could still cultivate an exceptional type of Gangqi.
But at the moment, Gu Chen wasn't thinking about this. An entirely different idea had suddenly emerged in his mind.
"Martial skills can be deduced and integrated," Gu Chen pondered, "I wonder if the same can be done for internal cultivation techniques?"
All this time, Gu Chen had deduced and integrated countless martial arts techniques through the panel, and it was for this reason that he possessed so many Superior Martial Skills at the Gang Qi Stage.
If not for these numerous Superior Martial Skills, even if Gu Chen's cultivation was strong, his combat power would not be as terrifying as it is now.
Gu Chen had tried deducing martial skills many times and could say it was second nature to him. The question was whether the panel could also integrate internal cultivation techniques in the same way?
As Gu Chen entertained these thoughts, he was unaware that the outside world was about to explode with activity.
...
At this moment, outside the Tongtian Treasure Pagoda, seven Martial Arts Grandmasters and a host of martial artists were waiting.
A Grandmaster from the Da Guangming Sect laughed and said, "I wonder when this final trial will end. Who do you think will take first place in this battle?"
The Grandmaster from the Qiu family frowned and said coldly, "Speaking such words is meaningless. We just need to wait patiently for them to come out."
The old Daoist from the Xuantian Sect said with a smile, "Well said. Since we all have such confidence in our disciples, once they come out, the result will be clear."
"What if Gu Chen takes first place?" the Grandmaster from the Da Guangming Sect asked.
"Impossible!"
The big fellow from the White Tiger Clan said with a stern face, "Even if he has cultivated the indestructible body of Vajra, what of it? He has only reached the Gang Qi Stage. My sect's Shen Jie has already perfected the White Tiger Battle Body and attained the Returning to True Stage. No matter how strong Gu Chen is, he won't be a match for Shen Jie!"
The Grandmaster from the Feixue Sword Sect also said, "My sect's Ling Fei has also perfected the Flying Snow Covering Sky Sword Technique. He is an unparalleled genius of the Feixue Sword Sect, with his swordsmanship being almost divine. Gu Chen's physical body might be strong, but he would need to get close enough to make use of it."
"What you all say is true," the old Daoist from the Xuantian Sect agreed.
The Grandmaster from the Qiu family stated, "I just hope Qiu Zhen goes a bit easy when the time comes. Don't accidentally cripple that Gu Chen, or Wang Jiuzhi will surely go berserk on us."
"What? The seven of us together and we're still afraid of a single Wang Jiuzhi? The current state of Da Xia and the Jing Tian Department is not as it was in the past. It's not up to him, Wang Jiuzhi, to be fierce!" The big man from the White Tiger Clan said disdainfully.
Shua!
Suddenly, the figure of Wang Jiuzhi appeared out of nowhere. The seven Grandmasters saw this and their expressions immediately tightened.
Talk is talk, but they were very clear about Wang Jiuzhi's strength. In a one-on-one fight, none of them present would be his match.
Only the heads of their respective families could contend with Wang Jiuzhi in a one-on-one fight.
"Jiuzhi."
Upon seeing Wang Jiuzhi appear, the elder from the Wang family had a somewhat complex look in his eyes. As the Martial Grandmaster of the Wang family and also Wang Jiuzhi's uncle, he deeply regretted Wang Jiuzhi's departure from the family all those years ago.
Wang Jiuzhi paid no heed, instead, his gaze turned toward the Qiu family's Grandmaster, saying, "Since everyone is so confident, why don't we make a bet?"
"What would Lord Wang like to bet on?" asked the Grandmaster from the Qiu family, his eyebrows knitting together.
"Let's bet that the final victor will be Gu Chen!"
Upon hearing this, the Grandmasters from the Da Guangming Sect and the others immediately laughed. They looked at each other and said, "Lord Wang must be out of his mind. Gu Chen is merely at the Gang Qi Stage, while our disciples have reached the great culmination of the Returning to True Stage. What does he have to fight with?"
The big man from the White Tiger Clan said, "You're giving him too much credit!"
Even the martial artists who were spectating felt it was a bit unrealistic.
If one were to talk about who had the greatest potential for the future, they all agreed it would certainly be Gu Chen, without a doubt. But when it comes to current actual strength, Gu Chen was still young, having just broken through to the Gang Qi Stage not long ago, and compared to Si Yuan and the others, there was a significant gap.

The Vajra indestructible body might be strong, but as they said, as long as they prevent Gu Chen from getting close enough to engage and suppress him with a higher level of cultivation, as well as with the perfected Superior Martial Skills they cultivated, what could Gu Chen possibly use to compete?
As they were discussing this, the Tongtian Treasure Pagoda began to tremble suddenly, and the dark, profound vortex at the gate started to slowly rotate.
