I. The Nine Heavens Imperial Sword Art comprised nine great sword arts: Uppermost, Jade Grandeur, Dragon Transformation, Peaceful Nurturing, Jade Purity, Upper Purity, Grand Purity, Grand Luo, and Primordial.

II. Six Revolutions Mysterious Body Art! A supreme body-refining art, divided into six realms: Fire-Tempering Body, Black Tortoise Body, Heavenly Fire Body, Seven Hues Body, Immortal Golden Body, and Six Revolutions Mysterious Body. Each realm was further divided into six levels.

The first realm, Fire-Tempering Body, could be cultivated starting from the Golden Core Stage. The second realm, Black Tortoise Body, could be cultivated starting from the Nascent Soul Stage. The third realm, Heavenly Fire Body, could be cultivated starting from the Body Integration Realm, but this third realm was also the most important. At the final juncture of Heavenly Fire Body, one had to rely on the heavenly fire of the heavenly tribulation to cultivate it to Great Completion, which was extremely dangerous!

The fourth realm, Seven Hues Body, could be cultivated starting from the Heavenly Immortal realm. The fifth realm, Immortal Golden Body, could be cultivated starting from Daluo Golden Immortal. As for the strongest sixth realm, it could only be cultivated upon reaching the realm of Immortal Lord!

(For reference, the stages of realm advancement were: Postnatal Stage, Innate Stage (Opening Light Stage, Fusion Stage, Grain Abstinence Stage), Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul Stage, Clone Stage, Body Integration Realm, Tribulation Transcendence Stage, Great Completion Stage ************* Heavenly Immortal (Heavenly Demon), Grand Celestial Immortal (Demon King), Daluo Golden Immortal (Devil Lord), Ninth Heaven Profound Immortal (Demon Emperor), Immortal Lord (Demon Emperor), Immortal Emperor (Demon Venerable). ****************** Low-grade Divine Human, Mid-grade Divine Human, High-grade Divine Human, Lower Heavenly God, Middle Heavenly God, Upper Heavenly God, Heavenly Venerable! ******************* Existences beyond gods.)

P.S. These were the realm advancements in Legend of Xingfeng. They were not entirely the same as those in this book, Cun Mang, so please do not confuse them.

IV. The Big Dipper Seven Stars Sword Art combined the seven swords of Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, and Tianshu into one! Sword Annihilation!

VI. Qi Cauldrons came in red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, and the highest grade, black! Only a black-grade Qi Cauldron could forge Divine Artifacts, while a green one could forge Immortal Artifacts.

Only upon reaching the black realm could one begin cultivating the True Divine Forging Manual! The foundation of the True Divine Forging Manual was the Immortal Forging Art.

Black—Divine Artifacts; seven-colored—Saint Artifacts!

VII. The alchemy process: Zhang Xingfeng consecutively formed and cast fifteen hand seals, completely opening the Qi Cauldron. This was the Cauldron Opening Art; regardless of what was being refined, it was an indispensable process.

As the fifteen hand seals were cast one after another, the red Qi Cauldron spun incessantly and flew before Zhang Xingfeng, drawing all the materials into itself.

Zhang Xingfeng formed a seal with both hands, and a streak of Violet Fire immediately flew beneath the Qi Cauldron.

Zhang Xingfeng brought his hands slightly together, then spread them apart a little. Streams of Five Elements Spiritual Energy flew into the red Qi Cauldron. The Five Elements Spiritual Energy gathered over the past two months was truly considerable. Stream after stream flowed into the red Qi Cauldron, only ending after a long while.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled faintly and swiftly formed three hand seals before casting them out. This was the simplest technique, Cauldron Sealing. Next came the most crucial Martial Fire Refinement!

Not one of the Seventy-Two Hand Seal Arts could be slow, much less wrong.

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Xingfeng's eyes. Yes, this was the moment!

His hands immediately became phantoms, constantly changing into all manner of hand seals and casting them out. Seal after seal struck the Violet Fire, which immediately surged and grew increasingly violent. Even the sound of tearing—fss... fss...—rang out from within the Qi Cauldron.

In the blink of an eye, all seventy-two hand seals had been cast. The Violet Fire, which had been blazing high moments earlier, instantly plunged from its peak into a trough and dimmed.

His hands rapidly cast the final eighteen hand seals without the slightest pause. As seal after seal struck the Qi Cauldron, it began returning to normal, while the Violet Fire also returned to Zhang Xingfeng's body. The Qi Cauldron regained its red color and obediently drifted slowly before him. Zhang Xingfeng opened it with Chaos Force, and spiritual pills immediately sprayed out across the sky like spring water, scattering in every direction until the entire secret chamber was filled. Zhang Xingfeng's left hand moved slightly, and all the spiritual pills vanished in an instant.

Legend of Xingfeng was Tomato's first book. It ran for more than 1.4 million characters and officially concluded in full on September 28! Its results were fairly good, with over two million clicks. This book was also the first step in Tomato's transformation from a novice into a writer. At the beginning, it had been purely for interest and self-indulgent fantasy, so Legend of Xingfeng was even written in the first person at first. Only after the third volume did Tomato change it to third person. Yet many fellow reader brothers abandoned Legend of Xingfeng because the beginning had been poorly written. Tomato regretted it too, but forget it—consider it the punishment of youth!

Whether you were old reader brothers who came from Legend of Xingfeng or new readers, Tomato would definitely work hard on his second book and would not make the same mistakes again. After writing over a million characters, Tomato believed he had gained some control over plot development. This new book, Cun Mang, would definitely not disappoint everyone!

Starting on the 28th, the new book would update twice daily, with no fewer than around 5,000 characters and no upper limit. Everyone could rest assured and save it, vote for it~~~~
