Chapter 777: Chapter 238: The Closest Path Is the Long Way Around, Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride, Qin Feng Achieves the Golden Tower, Just Like the Golden King

This Nourishing Technique was, naturally, extremely difficult to learn.

But once mastered, the cultivation speed it granted was astonishing.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, completely immersing his consciousness in the Subspace Transmission Network.

Stored there was the massive data stream Squad Leader Zhou Xiong had personally given him, which contained the complete teachings of the Ten-Complete Hand.

It contained the General Outline of the Ten-Complete Hand, all its Chapters, video records, a veritable sea of annotations made by Squad Leader Zhou Xiong during his own cultivation of the technique, and a massive amount of residual Mental Power.

However, because it was in the form of a data stream, Qin Feng couldn’t clearly perceive the residual Mental Power left by Squad Leader Zhou Xiong. He could only rely on the written descriptions to guide his own exploration.

Had he received the teachings from something like an Enlightenment Stone Stele, or had a powerful expert given him personal instruction, Qin Feng’s progress would have been even faster.

Thoroughly mastering the new and profound Chapter of the Ten-Complete Hand on "tempering Mental Power" was a task as difficult as a mortal attempting to scale a sheer, ten-thousand-fathom cliff, smooth as a mirror, with their bare hands.

But for the current Qin Feng, it was not an impossible task.

After all, his overall mastery of the Ten-Complete Hand cultivation technique was already infinitesimally close to the "Minor Completion" stage. He just needed that last bit of proficiency to break through to a whole new level.

He chose to immerse himself completely, dedicating all his focus to this period of seclusion.

For powerful cultivators immersed in deep training, time always seemed to fly by.

...

「Almost a year later.」

Qin Feng had poured every ounce of his cognitive ability—derived from the Mental Power of his Immortal Ancient Tower, condensed to the scale of ten million years—unreservedly into the cultivation and analysis of the Ten-Complete Hand.

He finally succeeded, conquering all the complex principles regarding the "tempering of Mental Power"!

He had successfully transformed theoretical knowledge into practical application!

’The Ten-Complete Hand... finally, Minor Completion!’

The very instant he achieved this thorough understanding, a familiar, light-blue virtual screen suddenly materialized before Qin Feng’s eyes.

[Ten-Complete Hand (Minor Completion)]

[Proficiency: 1/1000]

The transition from "Initiation" to "Minor Completion" wasn’t just a change in name; it represented a qualitative leap!

Qin Feng didn’t hesitate for a moment.

The instant his Nourishing Technique broke through, he immediately began cultivating according to the new tempering method within the Ten-Complete Hand!

He carefully manipulated a portion of his Mental Power and began the first "tempering" of another portion of Mental Power from the same source!

’According to the Cultivation Technique, in the initial stages of tempering, I can only use a single, pure wisp of Mental Power to temper another wisp.

The process must be gradual. Rushing it would be worse than not doing it at all.’

’Once I’ve successfully tempered the first ’cupful’ of pure golden Mental Power, I can then use it to temper a ’cupful’ of Silver Spirit Power.’

’So, this is different from my previous training, which was focused purely on expanding the scale of my Indestructible Projection.

When it comes to ’tempering Mental Power,’ the more I cultivate, the faster the process becomes.

After all, the higher my cultivation level, the more ’Golden Mental Power’ I’ll possess.

At that point, it will be like I’m using an indestructible ’Gold Hammer’ to strike relatively fragile ’Silver Iron.’

’But in this initial stage, it’s as if I can only use a fragile ’Silver Hammer’ to strike other ’Silver Iron.’’

’This is a cultivation stage that is extremely difficult at the beginning.’

’...’

’At the same time, cultivating at this stage also requires a massive amount of resources.

Because the ’tempering’ process is, in essence, the classic trilogy of ’damage, recovery, and enhancement.’’

Muttering to himself, Qin Feng mentally organized all the key points and precautions for this new stage of cultivation.

With that, he officially began the first step of his journey toward the "Galaxy-level"!

He activated his Ten-Complete Hand, now at the Minor Completion stage, and began to frantically absorb the immense resources from the one hundred high-quality Machine Soul Cores and the hundreds of Constant Star-level resource deposits he had acquired!

He continuously absorbed a sea of resources, using them to restore and enhance the "Silver Iron" that was being tempered.

Then, Qin Feng threw himself back into the endlessly repetitive and mind-numbingly dull process of tempering and forging!

「One day later.」

After consuming a vast amount of resources, amid a dazzling burst of light, Qin Feng’s first wisp of Mental Power finally transformed from its original silver-white into a noble, sacred, and indestructible pure gold!

’This... Its very essence is completely different!’

Feeling the terrifying power contained within this wisp of Golden Mental Power, even someone as composed as Qin Feng couldn’t help but be shocked!

If his previous, boundless silver-white Mental Power—spanning a scale of ten million light-years—was, in essence, merely sturdy "wood,"

then this seemingly insignificant wisp of Golden Mental Power was, in essence, a true "super-alloy" of unbelievable strength!

The two weren’t even in the same league!

’No wonder I was completely powerless when I faced Yan Sheng back then.’
