Chapter 200 - 190: Cultivation +1255

Chapter 200: Chapter 190: Cultivation +1255

If this were the sparse Primordial Qi around Chen Yue’s own courtyard, the effect of a single Circulation would never be so dramatic.

But regardless, he had now confirmed that he could sense the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

He had found the right path and the right method; the only thing left was time.

As long as he continued practicing the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell, kept the Burning Essence Technique active, and maintained the reserve of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in his Qi Blood, he could achieve in the Marrow Refining Realm what was originally only possible for those in the Innate Realm.

Chen Yue exhaled slowly, allowing the tight, swollen sensation in his meridians to ease slightly with his breath.

Chen Yue didn’t just sit and rest. He stood up, feet shoulder-width apart, and slowly raised his hands as the stance of the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell began to unfold.

His transition from stillness to motion was fluid and natural, like a scroll being slowly unfurled.

This time, Chen Yue simultaneously activated the Burning Essence Technique. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, which he could previously only absorb passively, was now consciously drawn into his body under the guidance of his transformed Sword Intent.

Chen Yue’s fists traced perfectly circular arcs through the air. Every lift of his hand, every turn of his body, every sinking of his hips, stirred the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The Primordial Qi formed a faint yet distinct disturbance around him, guided by his movements to swirl into his body, tempering his sinews, bones, muscles, and meridians.

After two sets of the fist form, Chen Yue was forced to stop.

He still stood perfectly straight, his breathing even, but he felt a swollen sensation he had never experienced before, this time in his very flesh and blood.

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the air was too high, and it was permeating his body too quickly. Even his Marrow Refining Realm physique could not withstand it.

Chen Yue closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his body as he began to look inward.

The swollen feeling in his meridians had already eased considerably. The walls of his meridians, which had expanded due to the massive influx of energy in a short time, were slowly recovering.

What caught Chen Yue’s attention, however, was the distinct feeling that his Inner Strength had become much more condensed.

Even the meridians themselves, repeatedly nourished by this high-concentration Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, had subtly increased in resilience.

The minute damage on the meridian walls was slowly being repaired by the gentle power within the Primordial Qi, while new layers were gradually growing, thicker and sturdier than before.

Chen Yue didn’t immediately activate the Vast Heart Rock Skill. His body needed time to buffer and digest his recent gains, not have more power poured into it.

He sat down cross-legged, his consciousness shifting to the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, and began to deduce the common ground between the two Cultivation Techniques: the Burning Essence Technique and Celestial Demon Dissolution.

Celestial Demon Dissolution and the Burning Essence Technique—one a Life-or-Death Secret Technique, the other a supplementary Cultivation Technique—shared a similar underlying structure in their fundamental logic.

The core of both was combustion, just with different intensities and different applications.

If the two Cultivation Techniques were to be merged, the Burning Essence Technique would have to be the foundation, with Celestial Demon Dissolution as the supplement.

The resulting new Cultivation Technique could not only be used for daily training but also as a Secret Technique in a life-or-death battle.

In fact, with the strength of Chen Yue’s Physique, it might even be possible for him to use a Life-or-Death Secret Technique as a regular Secret Technique in his daily routine.

Time ticked by. The light within the Gathering Essence Spirit Platform remained unchanged. There was no cycle of day and night in this space; the same dim, gentle, fluorescent glow constantly enveloped the entire hall.

Chen Yue was completely immersed in his own training rhythm: activating the Vast Heart Rock Skill to refine the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that had permeated his body, then rising to practice the stances of the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell to further temper his physique and Qi Blood.

He would then stop, sit cross-legged to deduce the details of the merged Cultivation Technique and the changes to the Pill Formula. Every step was tightly and orderly arranged, maximizing the value of every moment within the limited time.

As Chen Yue was meditating cross-legged, a familiar ripple suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Inside the completely sealed Gathering Essence Spirit Platform, Chen Yue had lost all sense of time.

[Daily Settlement]

[Diligent Cultivation, Cultivation +1255]

[Diligent attempt to merge Cultivation Techniques. Merge successful. New Cultivation Technique obtained: Celestial Demon Burning Technique]

...

[Celestial Demon Burning Technique (Perfection)]

[Marrow Refining Realm (6894/9156)]

...

Chen Yue’s eyes widened slightly. He had known, and had mentally prepared for it, that his Cultivation would see a significant increase today. After all, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Gathering Essence Spirit Platform was undeniable.

But he hadn’t expected the number to be this large. Without consuming any Elixirs, his Cultivation growth had skyrocketed from around 200 points yesterday to 1255 points, an increase of more than six times.

A gain of 1255 Cultivation points was equivalent to consuming over forty Nourishing Spirit Pill Yang Pills in a single day.

What an absurd increase.

With the physical limits and Cultivation Technique ceiling of the Marrow Refining Realm, it would be impossible to withstand the impact of over forty Nourishing Spirit Pill Yang Pills flooding the body at once. The Erysipelas alone would be enough to completely clog the meridians.

Even a peak Refining Organ Realm Martial Artist couldn’t consume that many elixirs; their body simply couldn’t handle that level of Medicinal Power.

Yet Chen Yue had eaten nothing. He had achieved the same effect just by sitting here and cultivating.

And the new Cultivation Technique, the Celestial Demon Burning Technique, had been mastered to Perfection right from the start.

As brand-new insights flooded his Sea of Consciousness, Chen Yue felt a moment of dawning realization, followed by a flicker of a smile in his eyes.

The Burning Essence Technique provided a stable combustion framework and the ability to perceive Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, while Celestial Demon Dissolution contributed its logic of extreme, frenzied bursts and its go-for-broke intensity.

After their fusion, the new Celestial Demon Burning Technique had indeed achieved the effect he desired.

During combat, he could now decide how much of his Heart Spirit and Qi Blood to burn. The more he burned, the more his combat power would increase.

It was no longer an all-or-nothing choice between burning everything or nothing at all; he could stop at any point based on his needs and his body’s tolerance.

If he truly found himself in a desperate situation, he could still burn everything. In that case, its explosive power would surpass that of the original Celestial Demon Dissolution, because with the added perception and guidance of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the Burning Essence Technique, it would ignite both internally and externally, producing an even more astonishing might.

Because he could control how much Heart Spirit and Qi Blood he burned, Chen Yue could use the Celestial Demon Burning Technique as a supplementary Secret Technique for his daily training, just like the original Burning Essence Technique.

It could help increase the efficiency of his Inner Strength circulation, accelerate the refinement of Elixirs, and draw in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his meridians.

The smile in Chen Yue’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by renewed focus.

He closed his eyes and began to gently nourish his meridians and flesh.

’I can’t train anymore tonight.’ A balance of tension and relaxation is key to continuous progress. After being repeatedly scoured by Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and ignited by the Burning Essence Technique, his meridians and flesh needed an undisturbed period of recovery.

Chen Yue’s training rhythm had never been one of reckless, brute-force effort; he knew when to pull back and when to let go.

Besides, at his current pace, he could break through to the Refining Organ Realm right here in the Gathering Essence Spirit Platform.

According to his original plan, this would have taken over half a month. He would have needed to continue consuming Nourishing Spirit Pill Yang Pills and accumulating Inner Strength until his Cultivation was full, then make the breakthrough in one fell swoop.

But the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Gathering Essence Spirit Platform had drastically shortened that timeline.
