Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Hence, the majority of Innate experts possess a certain understanding of the Cultivation Techniques they practice. Only a very few rely on Elixirs or the care of their ancestors to enter the Innate Realm.

However, this so-called Mental Realm and Sudden Enlightenment are extremely ethereal concepts. Throughout history, there has never been a standardized definition—at least, not something Zhu Bufan can currently access. There's merely a commonly accepted term called "Sudden Enlightenment"!

Zhu Bufan has only just begun to experience the benefits of this enlightenment. As for the opportunities that lie ahead, it depends on how he grasps them.

This Sudden Enlightenment is one of the main reasons for Zhu Bufan's advancement. Another reason is the blue mist emitted by the Light Pearl, which opened up three of Zhu Bufan's Hidden Meridians, allowing his Cultivation to accelerate invisibly, each session yielding slightly more Inner Qi.

Similarly, these changes are still imperceptible to Zhu Bufan.

"Since I've broken through, I need to find a place to consolidate my power!" Zhu Bufan thought to himself.

Just as he was about to leave, he was shocked to discover that a swift motion of his hand produced a sharp whistling sound through the air.

"This..." Afterward, Zhu Bufan truly examined his body and felt the terrifying power it contained.

"Mixed Refinement! When did I even reach the Mixed Refining Realm!"

Zhu Bufan has been practicing the Hanhai Tide Skill for over half a year but had only been hovering on the threshold, unable to even step into the First Layer of the Mixed Refining Realm. Unexpectedly, during this confused enlightenment, he finally entered the Mixed Refining Realm.

However, Zhu Bufan still does not understand the true mysteries of the Hanhai Tide Skill, treating it only as a top-tier Body Refining Techniques, and diligently practices it. The greatest purpose of this training experience is to trigger his potential through actual combat and achieve the Mixed Refining Realm.

"What exactly happened during that moment of enlightenment?"

The numerous surprises had numbed Zhu Bufan, which instead gave rise to curiosity and a trace of fear in his heart.

This was the fear of the unknown.

However, no matter what happened, after all, it was beneficial and harmless to one's self, so Zhu Bufan could only suppress his doubts and progressively adapt to the sudden surge of power while en route.

...

Three days later, in the Tanqiu Domain, at the Zhu Family residence.

"What? Really?" In an ice house, a bald man with a grim face asked.

"Boss, the news is true, I went there myself, and that kid was indeed not with the group. It's said he led the Snow Wolf away by himself!" the scar-faced man said in a low voice. "Hehe, such a foolish kid!"

"Oh? Is that so?" The expression of the bald man was very serious, "Foolish? I don't think necessarily."

The bald man sneered and tossed out a package.

"Boss, what is this for?" With the package in hand, the scar-faced man asked puzzledly.

"Hmph, this is the package from those guys; we had applied the Soul-binding Incense on it, and it's been tampered with!" the bald man snorted.

"What?" The scar-faced man asked in surprise. The Soul-binding Incense, made with precious materials, had a unique fragrance that water could not wash away, and fire could not burn off, only specific materials could remove it.

"Boss, do you suspect that kid did it? But, is it possible? That kid, would he know how to do this?" Scar-faced man expressed his doubt.

"Trust that he might, rather than he might not," the bald man said gravely. "I always feel there is an evil aura about this kid! Have we found the kid's body?"

"No!" the scar-faced man shook his head.

"No, get Zhu Yuheng, that old geezer; he's quite skilled at tracking people. We'll go take a look, if we can't see that kid's body, we can't report back to the lady, and you know the lady's methods!" The bald man said solemnly.

Hearing this, recalling the lady's temperament and methods, the scar-faced man shuddered, his face covered with fear, clearly holding great reverence for the lady they spoke of.

...

Underneath a kilometer-high iceberg, Zhu Bufan used the Iron Sword to dig a one-meter-square cave, and he sealed the entrance with ice blocks, making several finger-sized holes with the Iron Sword for ventilation.

Then, Zhu Bufan sat down to cultivate, to stabilize the still-unsteady Inner Qi. As the Inner Qi circulated, the fluctuation of Qi around Zhu Bufan slowly calmed down, and soon a faint blue light emerged on his body.

This icy plain naturally emanated heavy cold air, and the place where Zhu Bufan was located, inside the ice blocks DbSet was more severe. Thin wisps of white vapor escaped from the ice walls and the air, wrapping around Zhu Bufan and visibly forming thick ice around him, enveloping him completely as if he were encased in ice.

Only from his nostrils, two thin, snake-like white wisps of Qi could be seen. With considerable intervals, they flowed in and out with Zhu Bufan's breaths, appearing extremely strange.

This round of cultivation lasted until late night. Just as Zhu Bufan finished cultivating, a burst of Qi shot out from the pores of his body. Impacted by this force, the ice that encased him cracked audibly, covered in white marks, and with one move from Zhu Bufan, it shattered into pieces of varying sizes, scattering on the ground.

Phew...

Zhu Bufan let out a breath, feeling the robust Inner Qi within his body, and was overjoyed.

"First, let's find something to eat, then properly ponder over the movement technique!"

...

This pack of Snow Wolves was truly frustrated. A few days ago, they attacked a group of humans. But after all, the humans they attacked were unharmed, while dozens from their pack were sacrificed.

Unexpectedly, just when they thought they had gotten rid of that menace two days ago, on the third day, he appeared again, and furthermore, harassed them endlessly.

That human didn't use any weapons, nor did he injure any Snow Wolf. He merely mingled with the wolf pack, touched one wolf's tail, tugged another's ear, and slapped another's buttocks, causing utter chaos among the wolves.

At first, they didn't dare to hurt this human because of the human-like image from their last encounter, but after being endlessly humiliated by the human, their bloodthirsty nature made them forget all caution and they started to fiercely retaliate.

Initially, they were able to harm him, but as the number of their encounters increased, it became sadly apparent that their speed, reactions, and agility couldn't match up to him. After three days, they couldn't even manage to touch his clothes.

So, now the wolf pack completely lost their temper, only avoiding him from afar whenever he appeared, not daring or wanting to provoke him any longer!

This person was Zhu Bufan.

Coincidentally, after solidifying his cultivation that day, Zhu Bufan spent a day integrating the Water's Good Flexibility he had comprehended into the Floating Snow Technique. Once the initial integration was complete, he planned to find an opponent to thoroughly practice it. Unexpectedly, he encountered his previous adversaries, the Snow Wolves.

Thus, under what Zhu Bufan deemed as fate, the pack of Snow Wolves became the final object for refining his movement technique. Now Zhu Bufan, as an Eighth Rank master, faced no threat from the wolf pack; thus, he was even more unrestrained. Over two days, he honed his movement technique to the highest level he could master now.

In the snowy field, Zhu Bufan demonstrated his improved Floating Snow Step Technique.

In the snowy ground, a green shadow flitted within a radius of fifteen meters, like leaves swept up by the cold wind, sometimes spiraling down, sometimes rising against the wind, and sometimes scattering with the wind—displaying thousands of poses.

Zhu Bufan seemed weightless in the air, drifting along with the snowflakes, unbelievably maintaining his position for a full minute!

Gently landing on the soft snowy ground, only sinking less than half an inch, but suddenly, Zhu Bufan stumbled, taking two steps forward, his knees completely sinking into the snow.

Zhu Bufan slightly bent over, gasping for air heavily, yet his face was full of ecstasy.

Creating a circulating flow of Inner Qi in the body's acupoints had an effect that completely exceeded his expectations.

However, the only drawback was the excessive consumption of Inner Qi. Just now, he fell from the sky because he was out of strength. Even with the profound Inner Qi of an Eighth Rank, he could only last about a minute; if he were in combat, the duration would even be shorter.

Of course, that was in the air, where Zhu Bufan could only rely on the invisible and intangible wind. Now, standing on solid ground, he only needed a bit more Inner Qi than the Floating Snow Step Technique. With Zhu Bufan's realm, he could fully afford it.

...

"Eighth Rank Fierce Bear!"

Hidden under the snowy ground, through a hole the size of a finger, Zhu Bufan stared at the enormous creature in the distance.

He remembered that when he first saw the Fierce Bear, he was almost scared unconscious because he had eaten many bear paws before, and subconsciously viewed the Fierce Bear as a Fierce Beast. However, after seeing the Fierce Bear fighting an ice marten, Zhu Bufan calmed down, simultaneously gauging the Fierce Bear's strength as late Eighth Rank.

"Eighth Rank, huh? Heh heh, perfect!" Zhu Bufan no longer hid, sneered coldly, and shot up from the snowy ground.

At this moment, the thick, sharp claws of the Fierce Bear were tearing apart its prey, sending hot flesh into its mouth, savoring the delicacy as the Fierce Bear let out pleasurable growls.

Zhu Bufan's sudden burst startled the indulging Fierce Bear. Though appearing simple and dull, it was extremely shrewd; its vigilance never relaxed, and the instant the disturbance occurred, it already put down its food, all four paws on the ground, its dark eyes dead set on Zhu Bufan who had suddenly appeared.

Facing the cautious gaze of the Fierce Bear, Zhu Bufan also dared not be careless. He had clearly seen the fierce fight between the Fierce Bear and the ice marten before. This giant creature, nearly three meters tall, seemed clumsy and bulky, as if even moving was difficult.

But having witnessed their previous fight, Zhu Bufan wouldn't be deceived. The Fierce Bear possessed speed, agility, and reactions completely inconsistent with its shape, along with the strength that did match its size.

The earlier marten was killed by the Fierce Bear's swift paw strike, its skull directly crushed, the mighty force turning the marten's head into mush.
