Martial Ascent to Divinity

The Giant Body and other powers have already reached their limits.

If not promoted, it's not worth it and is a waste of time.

When cultivating the Undying Star Body, Taiqing Sea Robe, and Void-Breaking Finger, there is a clear sense of exhaustion.

The realm is too low.

Taiqing Sea Robe and Void-Breaking Finger should be cultivated starting from the Innate Realm.

Zhou Leng slightly estimated his current strength, and it basically reached the pinnacle of True Liquid Innate level.

The limit of True Liquid Innate's Martial Arts Index is 16, now it's almost 15, just a little bit more to reach 16.

Although incomparable to Deep Dark Fury and the Three Sons of Ancient River, even in the Ancient River Sect, it's considered an upper-class disciple.

Walking out of Mammoth Lake, Zhou Leng took Huang back to the Frost Giant Tree.

He took out his spoils from these days: Dragon Blood Flower, the Strange Snake Leader's flesh and blood, and most importantly, the Stellar Treasure.

Star Refining Furnace.

This Stellar Treasure is well-preserved, without a trace of rust.

However, he didn't know how to use it.

Zhou Leng glanced at the five Divine Text Golden Pages under the tree and gave Huang a signal.

Using the Demonized Watch to project the self-made 3D Divine Text of the "Star Gazing Technique," he then displayed the stone wall inscription photo from the lower chapter of Blood of Tyranny's "Star Gazing Technique."

He let Elder Tree take a look, then sought some guidance.

Huang got up, sniffed left and right while walking, and quickly dug the soil with its claws.

It lowered its head, grabbed a brand new Divine Text Golden Page with its mouth, and wagged its tail, delivering it to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng thanked Elder Tree and Huang and carefully perused it.

Zhou Leng merely glanced at it and already smiled.

This sixth Golden Page documents the second chapter of "Ten Reversed Beast Fist," the "Flying Whale Chapter," with original text and translations.

After thoroughly comparing the original and translated text, it was indeed Elder Tree's prowess.

This "Ten Reversed Beast Fist" is extremely profound; each Cultivation Technique Divine Text has over a hundred strokes, far more complex than any Cultivation Technique Divine Text presently in Ancient River Sect.

If he were to translate himself, there would be at least ten errors in the "Flying Whale Chapter," and who knows how long it would take to learn it.

Once he completes the "Flying Whale Chapter," his Divine Text skills will improve again.

The "Establishing Image Chapter" is broad and profound; the "Flying Whale Chapter" is mysterious and extreme.

Zhou Leng repeatedly read it, captivated by the powerful Training Method.

The function of the Training Method is to connect the body with the moves.

The purpose of "Ten Reversed Beast Fist" is to train the body to the extreme, enabling the use of various moves.

The Establishing Image Chapter focuses more on the body's power exertion.

The Flying Whale Chapter, while exerting power, also emphasizes the finesse in exerting heavy forces lightly, taking it a step further.

This chapter is several times harder than the Establishing Image Chapter, yet it feels familiar.

This familiarity comes from the Sea Suppressing Fragment and the Ancient River Jade Stele inscriptions.

These three forces, along with the Inner Power Sea Suppression Technique, belong to the sea element power.

However, whenever thinking of the stellar tsunami, Zhou Leng feels calling it water element power is inappropriate, and it's more like sea element power, even more, can be said it's star sea power.

The Divine Text Golden Page indeed as expected mentioned the Star Refining Furnace.

The Star Refining Furnace is a Stellar Treasure, requiring a higher realm to activate.

What needs to be done now is continuous memorization of the Divine Text in the middle of the Star Refining Furnace.

After mastering this Divine Text, the Star Refining Furnace's power can be ignited, and more Divine Text inscriptions will appear on the surface.

Once all the Divine Text inscriptions of the Star Refining Furnace are learned, a "Star Refining Mysterious Scripture" can be obtained, and after learning it, one can activate the Star Refining Furnace.

"Mysterious Scripture... in Martial Arts knowledge, terms like Gate of Profound Yin, Profound Truth all have meanings associated with the great path, essentials, and key points. The book's name implies that this is a secret tome directly addressing the fundamental great path in the star refining domain. Also, it being a 'scripture' indicates that the Divine Text level recorded by the Star Refining Furnace is far above the 'Star Gazing Technique'..."

The Golden Page also states that after promoting to Innate, it's best to first cultivate Healing Techniques, and seek Merit Treasures to enhance Healing Techniques as much as possible.

Without appropriate Merit Treasures, human cultivation of Healing Techniques progress will be very slow.

Because the healing capabilities of different lives are different, human healing abilities are far below that of the Tree-men.

Currently, in the Ten Realms, the most suitable Healing Treasure is the Tree-man's heart, and the better one is the Heart of Life.

The Heart of Life is the core of the Tree of Life, highly valuable.

The Tree of Life is the core of every Tree-man tribe, nurturing Tree-men and producing Water of Life, only obtainable after being destroyed by giant insects.

The Golden Page also lists a treasure Zhou Leng has never heard of, not found in the database.

Root of the Original Tree.

The so-called Original Tree refers to the roots of the Starry Tree God body, surpassing Demigod and Void God.

The origin of the Tree-man Race is the Root of the Original Tree.

The origin of the Giant Insect Race is similarly the Root of the Original Tree.

Zhou Leng repeatedly examined it several times before stopping, this is a great secret of the Ten Realms, unexpectedly to think that the life-and-death enemy Tree-men and giant insects actually come from the same source.

Indeed, alien races can cooperate, but heretics among the same race must die.

The Golden Page also states if it's a high-level Healing Technique like the "Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique," it requires more and stronger Merit Treasures.

If it's Water of Life, it requires an area as large as Mammoth Lake.

If it's the Heart of Life, it needs ten pieces.

If it's the Root of the Original Tree, only a segment is needed.

Without enough Merit Treasures, cultivating overly advanced Healing Techniques takes a long time, and the effect is not much different from ordinary Healing Techniques.

"Flying Whale Chapter, Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique, Star Refining Furnace Divine Text, and the Innate Promotion Technique of Ancient River Sect..."

Zhou Leng first silently memorized the Divine Text of the "Flying Whale Chapter," only memorizing the first style.

The Divine Text, which previously took a long time to learn, this time was memorized in just an hour, and the semi-transparent Divine Text floated in his mind, slowly rotating.

As he sensed the Divine Text, the first form of the "Flying Whale Chapter" and the True Qi Circulation Method appeared in his mind.

Zhou Leng first performed a dynamic set of the "Establishing Image Chapter".

His feet were heavy, thundering on the ground, his body like an elephant, shattering the void.

Power surged throughout his body, True Qi flowed into the minutest detail.

After performing a dynamic set of the Establishing Image Chapter, every power-exerting method involving the legs, arms, shoulders, waist, and other parts was practiced to perfection.

As the Establishing Image Chapter continuously improved, the learning of relevant martial arts techniques would accelerate, and strength would increase.

He finished his exercise, meditated, and regulated his breath.

He stood up and assumed the first form of the "Flying Whale Chapter".

Standing with feet apart, his upper body leaned slightly forward, arms forcefully stretching toward the sky.

Like a giant whale, leaping out of the sea, soaring towards the clouds.

The giant whale was enormous, soaring through the air like a feather.

Effortless with great strength, energy freely flowing.

Just as he initiated the first form, Zhou Leng felt an unprecedented experience.

While training in the Establishing Image Chapter, his body seemed to be pressed by a mountain, crazily squeezing his body.

But while practicing the Flying Whale Chapter, the internal flow of power and True Qi varied, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, rising and falling.

The force was extremely uneven.

This feeling was as if one moment he was skydiving from the sky, body rapidly descending, and the next instant, he was at the ocean bottom, enduring immense water pressure.

One moment, he was carrying a mountain, the next instant, he was tossed into a giant tumbling washing machine spinning wildly.

Six months ago, not only would his body be injured, but his spirit would also be damaged.

This feeling was extremely contradictory, like a strange Gate of Purgatory.

Fortunately, possessing a Giant Body and the Martial Arts Will of the Rock Realm, he could withstand such torment.

Zhou Leng persisted in his training, both alarmed and excited.

Alarmed at how ignorant he was about the control of power, having never heard of this type of power-exerting method before.

Delighted that with each finely detailed realization, he increasingly appreciated its subtlety, greatly benefiting when combined with the Establishing Image Chapter and his martial arts techniques, feeling incredibly marvelous.

Ever-changing, light and heavy shifting.

Sometimes, in just one second, the power would change ten times, making his body tingly and numb, both uncomfortable and pleasant.

Once mastering this power-exerting method, he could toy with opponents of the same realm with ease.

Suddenly, the image of Elder Song's movements flashed in his mind.

Zhou Leng had a sudden realization, no wonder he couldn't comprehend some of Elder Song's subtleties before; it turns out Elder Song had reached the level of the Flying Whale Chapter.

Although Elder Song's power-exerting method wasn't as comprehensive as the Flying Whale Chapter, in a few moves, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Flying Whale Chapter.

In essence, the Flying Whale Chapter is a training method created by past martial arts experts based on the human body, martial arts, nature, and various powers.

Song Juesi is also human, also a martial arts expert, and would naturally create similar training methods.

Unfortunately, the "Flying Whale Chapter" was taught by Elder Tree and cannot be passed on.

In the future, he must interact more with Elder Song, learning from Elder Song on one hand, and inspiring Elder Song with the insights of the Flying Whale Chapter on the other. If Elder Song thereby creates a brand new training method, it would certainly strengthen the Human Race.

After practicing the Flying Whale Chapter, Zhou Leng's body was flushed red, his brain excited, and he could not help but start writing Martial Arts Notes.

Record every insight from the entire process.

"If Establishing Image is a straight line, then Flying Whale is a twisted ray of light, unpredictable, curving and flowing, without a fixed form..."

"The power-exerting method of the body is ever-changing..."

"But in my view, the true terror of the Flying Whale Chapter lies not in the lightness of the moment the giant whale breaches the sea but in the heaviness of the instant it falls back into the sea..."

"The terrifying power formed by flying first then falling later far surpasses Establishing Image."

"The falling of the giant whale shakes the starry sky."

"However, the Establishing Image Chapter cannot be discarded, as it provides the foundation for the Flying Whale Chapter, without a solid foundation of the Establishing Image Chapter, the Flying Whale Chapter can only fly but cannot return..."

"'Falling Whale, Falling Whale,' it can be called Falling Whale Force, once mastered completely, the final explosive power can be called terrifying."

After finishing practicing the "Flying Whale Chapter", Zhou Leng practiced the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique.

Now unable to practice, the whole process was just memorizing the Divine Text of the Cultivation Technique.

After memorizing the Divine Text of the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique, he took out the Star Refining Furnace, staring at the Divine Text at the center of the Star Refining Furnace, repeatedly memorizing and contemplating.

The Star Refining Furnace seemed to conceal a vast power, and a trace of this great power seemed to be hidden within the Divine Text.

By continuously learning and comprehending this single Divine Text, it seemed he could gradually communicate with the power within the Star Refining Furnace.

Then, he reviewed the Divine Text for the Innate Promotion of the Ancient River Sect.

After studying, he went to sleep.

Upon waking up and checking the time.

1 hour 45 minutes.

Previously, it took two hours.

Though sleep time was shorter, both mentally and physically, he felt fully replenished and entirely recovered.

Zhou Leng blinked and found himself on Observing Heaven Mountain.

In his eyes, the vast starry sky was reflected, with countless stars shifting.

The sky was dizzying, filled with all the cosmic star changes.

Zhou Leng first viewed the majority of starry changes casually, finally focusing on a star being born.

The star spun rapidly, forming a strong gravitational pull, absorbing the surrounding matter.

Within the star, a strange power brewed.

Zhou Leng, like a dazed child, had nothing else in his eyes, only this star.

In his eyes, like the birth of a new star.
