Chapter 580 - 246: Four Extreme Divine Dragons, Eightfold Winds (3)

And within the Shenxiao Thunder Control True Understanding lies a complete method for breaking the realm, along with the Five Thunders Body Refining Technique, which can be continued.

As for the Sword Control Technique, it probably isn’t suitable for those burly fellows.

It requires too much affinity with the sword and understanding of swordsmanship; Ji Mingyue, however, is suited for this secret art.

Entering the path through Technique isn’t impossible either.

She has been on this path all along.

Having too many cultivation techniques and secret skills can be both beneficial and detrimental.

Chen Ping, of course, feels that the more, the better; many skills do not burden the body.

However.

He discovered a fatal problem.

’The consumption of Divine Martial Realm Secret Skill is astonishingly high; I previously thought the Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon was just an exception, but now it appears that whether it is the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Technique, the Sword Control Technique, or the Little Wind Thunder Escape, they all require a large number of tribulation points to enhance, so I can only wait and observe for now.’

Entry is easy, but proficiency is difficult.

These four secret skills, with just a slight focus, Chen Ping realized that forcibly advancing the realm from entry to proficient requires 128 tribulation points.

It can’t be raised, it can’t be raised.

Currently, the cultivation of the fundamental Dragon Subduing Scripture is just at the bottleneck of Third Layer Perfection reaching the Fourth Layer, requiring a large number of tribulation points.

There’s no surplus tribulation to enhance secret skills.

"If only these secret skills were as useful and low-consuming as [Brahma and I are One]."

With this thought, Chen Ping couldn’t help but recall this move he considered his trump card secret skill.

"Perhaps, [Brahma and I are One] is not merely a spell or secret skill, but a divine technique?"

Thus, useful and easy to cultivate...

"No wonder Buddhism can always flourish under any circumstances; they indeed have many convenient techniques, almost cheating."

Chen Ping slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing.

"Then, is the Three Lights Divine Spell a divine technique as well?"

He had this question in his mind.

Even at his current realm, he still couldn’t clearly see the essence of this divine spell.

All he knew was that chanting it daily kept him healthy and light, nourishing both heart and spirit.

Moreover, in this world, this cultivation technique’s enhancement of the soul is much stronger than the Star Observation Method.

So much so that Chen Ping allocates some time every day to chant the spell.

Of course, he also worried about whether there might be any backdoors hidden within this spell technique; after careful detection, since the Spring and Autumn Silkworm didn’t alert him to any problems, he chose to ignore it.

Several protective secret techniques are indeed good.

But they cannot be transformed into instant combat power, making them somewhat lacking.

Chen Ping feels that these things are not quite up to the standard of his golden opportunities.

After thinking for a while, he realized.

"Trace Origin and Steal Fortune" is stealing fortune.

"Could it be that if Venerable Yuxiao hadn’t died, he would have gained benefits far beyond his cultivation level in the battle I witnessed?"

With this thought, Chen Ping carefully reviewed the experience of "Trace Origin and Steal Fotune" again.

Suddenly, he understood.

"The opportunity of the Heaven-Reaching Tower was something Yuxiao couldn’t obtain; he didn’t have the capability..."

In fact, Chen Ping didn’t think he had the capability now either.

The artifact’s grade was too high.

To completely master it was not something he could achieve.

Thinking of how an outside strike turned the hairy hand and horned monster into ash, while sealing the massive spatial rift.

Chen Ping had no further thoughts.

However, while he dared not ponder over the Heaven-Reaching Tower, other places were fair game.

"What about the Celestial Star Demon Sect member who manifested a Dharma Body like a star and could battle four Divine Dragons, where did they end up, where did they die?"

This was a problem.

Chen Ping vaguely felt that this matter was the main part of the golden opportunity.

Perhaps, it would bring him unexpected benefits.

...

"Can you learn it?"

Chen Ping beamed at Han Xiaoru.

Looking at this big girl anxiously pulling her hair, at this rate, her scalp would soon be bald.

This was the third day after Chen Ping completed the Trace Origin and Steal Fotune.

The aftermath of the great battle had, after half a month, gradually begun to be felt.

The most significant impact was that Chen Ping felt in Wind Valley City, the intangible and invisible, yet very real, resistance quietly disappeared.

Without mentioning officials and gentry, these people first knelt immediately.

They were adept at adapting to circumstances.

But the key was the common people.

The century-old entrenched mindset would take time to change.

The implementation of the new policies went from forced advancement to acceptance, then to welcome.

There is always a process.

Feeling the rolling fortune from all directions.

While happy in his heart, aside from daily cultivation, Chen Ping increased his focus on governance in all aspects.

The truth is simple.

As his cultivation gets stronger, acquiring tribulation points becomes harder.

Breaking the realm and raising cultivation requires more tribulation points.

This is a challenge.

How to solve this problem, Chen Ping hasn’t come up with a good method yet.

He can only slowly improve with time.

The only effective method he can rely on is rapidly increasing the daily acquisition of fortune.

To enhance innate talent and enlightenment.

Innate talent and enlightenment seem inconspicuous, mere changes in values.

But only Chen Ping knows.

These two innate values are constantly at work every moment.

If Enlightenment and Innate Talent at the Eternal Unparalleled level take thirty years to break through from Divine Martial Third Layer to Fourth Layer.

Then, the Ten Thousand Years Unattainable level of Enlightenment and Innate Talent, breaking through to the Fourth Layer, only takes ten years.

Compared to Venerable Yuxiao, it would be several times faster, but in Chen Ping’s view, it still wasn’t enough.

Time waits for no one; the faster, the better.

The tree may wish for calm, but the wind will not cease.

He could already feel the winds and rains quietly approaching from all directions.

At this moment, the stronger the cultivation, the higher the combat power, the safer it would be.

Spending ten years to break through another realm layer was way too slow.

He couldn’t bear it.

But what if Enlightenment and Innate Talent were raised to the [Innate Divinity] level?

Would it take only two or three years?

And at a higher level, perhaps just one year, maybe even a few months, to break through?

Without consuming tribulation points, he might achieve an effortless breakthrough through self-cultivation alone.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping was filled with passion again.

Lighting up with the desire to establish a great empire, bringing all peoples and cities under his control.

Of course, you cannot become successful overnight; some things should not be rushed.

The recent draw of luck was too intense, causing instability in the southern regions; it was time to consolidate a bit.

He hadn’t forgotten that breaking the realm and raising cultivation levels require not only tribulation points but also the large aura of fortune to support the transformation of the Dragon Emperor Four Realms.

It wasn’t the right time to send troops; all regions should remain still rather than act, so Chen Ping rarely found a bit of free time each day.

First, pass down the [Shenxiao Thunder Control True Understanding].

If even the dull-witted senior sister Han Xiaoru could learn it, then the main combat forces under Chen Ping could collectively improve.

"Seventh Brother, nothing unusual has been found around the Celestial Star Ruins so far. However, officials unexpectedly died in Xingqing Prefecture and Liiyang City, and they were all essential governance talents."

Just as Chen Ping was enjoying the joy of being a teacher, Ji Mingyue walked into the elegant chamber with a slight frown.

She reported some bad news.
