Cultivation Techniques, Chen Fan's Breakthrough (4K)

Zhang Cunfu successfully finalized the deal.

After the gathering ended, Chen Fan began preparing for his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

He also took the opportunity to ask about many things to pay attention to when making a breakthrough.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen was very familiar with this kind of issue.

After all, he possesses inheritances from various sources, each of which contains insights and reflections.

In any case, it's more than enough to guide Chen Fan.

During the remaining free time, Xiao Chen didn't idle around completely; instead, he diligently practiced those Auxiliary Spells.

He has Divinity Veil, which exempts him from practicing Obstacle Breaking Art and poison-avoiding Secret Method.

Therefore, by practicing the remaining two Secret Method, one can successfully handle most situations.

"This Law Technique is so troublesome, it always feels like something's missing."

Ten days passed quickly, and Xiao Chen had finally barely grasped the basics of the <Refraction Illusion Art>.

Compared to before, this speed is obviously much slower.

After all, he didn't have any Fourth-Order Spiritual Item related to Illusion Art to help him, nor did he have any corresponding Law Technique foundation. He basically relied on Hextech to forcefully overcome the difficulties along the way.

However, with this Secret Method, Xiao Chen could completely erase his physical form.

Unless the other party happens to possess Detection Spirit Tool, or has prepared Surveillance Array in advance.

Otherwise, even if you stood right in front of him, you wouldn't be able to see him at all.

When used in conjunction with the "Breathless Shadowless Curse," it can achieve a near-complete invisibility effect.

It's very useful whether you're traveling or searching for treasure in the outside world, or entering Secret Realm or ruins.

If one can cultivate to the Lesser Accomplishment Realm, one can also create illusions of oneself to distract the enemy.

If one can reach the Great Accomplishment Realm, one can quickly create a large-scale Illusion Realm that can cover several thousand feet.

Moreover, it can be made so realistically that it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Therefore, this Law Technique is especially suitable for independent cultivators or lone wolves.

Whether it's escaping, infiltrating, or creating chaos, it's all indispensable.

"Unfortunately, we haven't encountered this special type of spiritual object yet, so it might be a bit difficult to advance to the Great Perfection stage."

Without the blessing of spiritual objects, Xiao Chen's cultivation progress was slow.

If it takes a lot of time to do this, then it feels like a waste of time.

It would be better to first advance more versatile Cultivation Method like the <Wave Dividing Sea Stabilizing Spell> or the <Swift Wonder Fire Avoiding Art> to a minor or even major level of mastery.

This allows them to directly suppress Sea Race and cultivators of the water and fire elements.

More importantly, water and fire elemental spirits are relatively more common.

It allows one to master Law Technique more quickly.

Therefore, after weighing the options, Xiao Chen decided to postpone his cultivation of the <Refraction Illusion Art> and see if he could obtain some related spiritual items later.

There is still no new information from the Cai Family.

So he immediately began practicing the final technique, the Star Radiance Tracking Art.

This Law Technique also uses Spiritual Sense Mark to sense and track enemies.

It is divided into six stages: getting started, entering the inner Initial Glimpse, achieving Slight Accomplishment, mastering, consummate skill, and reaching the pinnacle.

Once a cultivator has Initial Glimpse, they can condense a starlight composed of Divine Sense in advance.

This starlight has the effect of concealing Spiritual Sense Probe, making it extremely difficult to detect.

Once you encounter the target cultivator, simply activate the starlight secretly to stick to their body to complete the marking.

Next, as long as the other party appears within a thousand miles of you, you can immediately detect their exact location.

With each subsequent breakthrough in this Law Technique, the number of starlight that can be condensed in advance increases by one.

At the same time, the sensing distance will also become longer and longer, and at its peak, it can even completely cover a radius of more than 7,000 miles.

Furthermore, because it is Divine Sense Secret Art, it is difficult for the target to detect it in time.

In addition, just like when Xiao Chen was targeted by that Old Dog Yi before.

Even if the other party discovers that they have been Spiritual Sense Mark, they will be completely helpless against the starlight if their own Spiritual Sense Strength is not high enough.

Moreover, it's worth mentioning that...

This Star Radiance Tracking Art has almost no requirements regarding the Spiritual Sense Strength.

By steadily increasing your proficiency, you can effectively increase the difficulty for enemies to clear the starburst.

Of course, this also applies if the cultivator's own Spiritual Sense Strength.

That would allow for further improvements in both Cultivation Speed and the intensity of starlight.

"This Law Technique is quite good, but it might not be very effective in the New Cultivation World."

Thinking of the recently concluded Double Jade Assembly, Xiao Chen felt that ordinary starlight would be easily detected and destroyed by the enemy.

Fortunately, he also has Hextech Enhancement, so as long as he doesn't encounter monsters that Soul Nurturing Jade like it's food, he should be fine.

But soon, he encountered the same problem again.

That is, he lacked Fourth-Order Spiritual Item related to Divine Sense, and also had no experience in Tracking Art, which resulted in extremely slow Cultivation Progress.

It is the most laborious of all Auxiliary Spells.

The main issue is that Divine Sense is something that is rather ethereal and intangible, something that cannot be touched or seen.

Therefore, the difficulty of cultivating such Law Technique that involves Divine Sense will undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Xiao Chen spent a full nineteen days without even getting the basics right, barely managing to grasp a sliver of the essence.

Judging from this pace, it will likely take at least half a month and at most a month to complete the task.

"Alas, it's a pity that the Secret Method left behind by the Heaven Star Sect is Heaven-Grade Inheritance, otherwise I could also strengthen my own Divine Sense."

After another day with almost no new progress, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he skillfully took out the Jade Ruyi and began to hone his Divine Sense.

After learning that a intact Divine Sense was one of the essential conditions for breaking through to the Spirit Transformation, he basically gave up the idea of using spiritual objects to enhance his own Divine Sense.

It's okay to go slowly; the key is to avoid leaving any future problems.

"Wait, something's not right!"

A thought flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, and he suddenly realized a problem. "If that's the case, then why do the cultivators of the Holy City dare to use Soul Nurturing Jade in large quantities?"

No matter how you look at it, this thing seems to have very serious hidden dangers, right?

Does this mean that none of the Nascent Soul True Lord in the Holy City are thinking about breaking through to the Venerable realm?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

That leaves only two explanations.

Either the Soul Nurturing Jade itself is very safe, and even if used in large quantities, it will not affect the subsequent breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation.

If that's the case, then Xiao Chen will have to find a way to get more Soul Nurturing Jade.

Alternatively, the Holy City may have some means to deal with the potential problems caused by the large-scale use of Soul Nurturing Jade.

Whether it's eliminating future troubles or directly repairing damage to Divine Sense.

If that's the case, as long as Xiao Chen finds a way to master the corresponding methods, he can quickly use the Soul Nurturing Jade to enhance his own Spiritual Sense Strength.

In either case, the Soul Nurturing Jade is required.

Therefore, Xiao Chen should consider secretly collecting some Soul Nurturing Jade for his own use.

This kind of collection must be done discreetly, so as not to be detected by the Gui Yun Sect.

However, that would be troublesome and laborious, likely requiring a significant amount of time and effort.

After thinking it over carefully, Xiao Chen felt that this matter could be entrusted to Chen Fan.

Although he was originally saved so that someone could help him sell his spiritual items.

However, now that Zhang Cunfu has indeed reached a cooperation agreement with the Rebellious Immortal Alliance, there is no need to worry about the sales of spiritual items for the time being.

Therefore, Chen Fan no longer needed to go into business, and it was a good opportunity to arrange for him to collect Soul Nurturing Jade in his place.

"Speaking of which, it should be about time."

Xiao Chen calculated that exactly thirty days had passed since Chen Fan began his seclusion to break through to the Impact Golden Core.

Theoretically speaking, tonight... no, it might not even be tonight.

We'll know the results of his breakthrough this afternoon.

While he stayed nearby these past few days to cultivate his Law Technique, he was also incidentally protecting Chen Fan.

Judging from the surrounding Spiritual Qi, there's probably nothing wrong.

That makes sense, given that they already have special spirit medicine like the ' Golden Core Formation ', and Chen Fan's exceptional comprehension makes it difficult for him to encounter any problems.

As expected.

At the beginning of the afternoon, You Hour, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly began to gather.

Although Xiao Chen had set up a formation in advance to block the view, outsiders could not detect anything unusual.

However, within the great formation, a massive Spiritual Energy Vortex formed almost instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the illusory Spiritual Energy Vortex began to spin and gradually differentiate into five different colors.

"Wow, what a strange breakthrough phenomenon?"

Heaven and Earth Phenomenon are not unusual, but Xiao Chen had not heard of such a special case in any of the Ancient Books he had read before.

Generally speaking, when a cultivator breaks through a barrier, a corresponding scene will often appear based on their Spirit Root Attribute.

For cultivators who possess more than one type of Spirit Root, such as those with Dual Spirit Roots.

It depends on the cultivator's cultivation Cultivation Method or the strength of their Spirit Root, mainly manifesting in one of these aspects.

The same applies to cultivators with Mixed Spirit Roots; normally only one type will be displayed.

However, Chen Fan differentiated into five colors at the same time this time, which was clearly abnormal.

"Could it be that he doesn't actually have Mixed Spirit Roots at all?"

To be honest, Xiao Chen's idea is somewhat far-fetched, but it's not impossible.

After all, Chen Fan is incredibly lucky, and he doesn't seem like a simple guy.

We can ask him about the specifics later.

A full half hour passed.

The small-scale Heaven and Earth Phenomenon continued, showing no signs of dissipating; in fact, they appeared to have become even more stable.

Reaching this point essentially indicates that the breakthrough has been successful.

At this moment, Chen Fan is likely already adapting to the true essence that has been generated within his body.

Xiao Chen wasn't in a hurry to bother him, and even took the opportunity to keep an eye on the surroundings.

Try to conceal the commotion caused by the breakthrough as much as possible to avoid attracting the attention of nearby cultivators.

After about six hours, the five-colored vortex finally dimmed.

Then, about three more days passed before the remaining commotion gradually subsided.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Fan walked out with a happy expression, looking much more energetic and handsome than before.

In fact, as their cultivation level increases, most cultivators become more and more handsome/beautiful.

Moreover, unless some monks choose to deliberately retain their scars out of personal willingness.

Or some cultivators believe in doing whatever they want, completely disregarding and not deliberately controlling their physique.

Otherwise, everyone would undergo a Moulting and Bone Rebirth change.

It's fine if it's just a single Major Realm, but what if there's a Major Realm separating us, and we haven't seen each other for a long time?

Even if you run into someone you know, they might not recognize that you bumped into the same person.

"Thanks to your help, senior, I was able to successfully break through!"

Chen Fan walked over and bowed respectfully. "Your great kindness will be forever etched in my heart."

If before he had only guessed in his heart that Xiao Chen was Nascent Soul True Lord...

Now we can be pretty much certain of it.

Even though a perfectly healthy person was standing right in front of him, when he scanned the area with his Divine Sense, he could only see emptiness.

If both parties were Golden Core cultivator, things would not have come to this.

Therefore, Chen Fan finally confirmed that the other party was indeed a Nascent Soul True Lord.

"No need for all that, let me ask you a few questions first."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and then asked directly, "During this breakthrough, did you notice anything different?"

Chen Fan thought carefully for a moment, "Reporting to Senior, it seems there's nothing particularly different."

He basically made his breakthrough step by step, without encountering any unexpected situations along the way.

Xiao Chen then asked about some more details out of curiosity.

Chen Fan answered each question in as much detail as possible.

Overall, everything seemed normal, and the strange Heaven and Earth Phenomenon be just a misunderstanding.

It wasn't that he intentionally hid things; it was just that there were some things he himself didn't know.

"Alright, congratulations on your successful breakthrough anyway."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen temporarily suppressed his curiosity. There was no need to rush to find out the truth; the answer would come naturally in time.

He only offered Chen Fan a few words of encouragement.

He urged the other party to continue cultivating diligently and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

This unique blessing surprised Chen Fan for a moment.

Didn't I just break through to the Golden Core?

Is it a little too early to talk about the Nascent Soul now?

However, he still thanked him repeatedly and said that he would work even harder.

"I have two more Spirit Artifact here; you can use them for now."

Xiao Chen took out a spirit sword and a spirit shield, both spoils of war from the Illuminating Void Sect.

He intentionally kept two items instead of selling them, to give to Chen Fan as a backup.

It's very difficult for a newly promoted cultivator to collect spiritual materials and forge Spirit Artifact themselves, so this can save them a lot of time to focus on cultivation.

Chen Fan stared at the Spirit Artifact before him, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen mentioned the task of collecting Soul Nurturing Jade at the end.

"Please rest assured, senior, I will do my utmost to collect the Soul Nurturing Jade from the vicinity!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan immediately agreed loudly, his eyes filled with determination.

"No, that's not how you do it."

Seeing his resolute expression, Xiao Chen reminded him, "For the time being, I don't want the Gui Yun Sect to notice anything unusual."

"So there's no need to go to all that trouble."

"Remember, concealment is paramount. It's better to take fewer Soul Nurturing Jade pieces than to expose yourself, understand?"

After explaining the matter, Xiao Chen set off to return to Pingyi.

Now we just have to wait for good news from the Cai Family.
