Silk Sword, a Self-Created Martial Skill!

After Lu Changsheng's Comprehension soared, he could practically remember anything at a glance.

He could also remember almost everything he heard in everyday life.

Now that he thought carefully, the memories concerning the "Myriad Poisons Great Pill" immediately resurfaced.

Back in the Underground Hall beneath Xu Family Manor, Shen Ying had accused the Myriad Poisons Sect of slaughtering all 318 members of Shen Family Village over a decade ago in order to refine the Myriad Poisons Great Pill.

The Myriad Poison Scripture did not specify how the Myriad Poisons Great Pill was refined.

But since Shen Ying had accused the Myriad Poisons Sect, one could infer a thing or two. The Myriad Poisons Great Pill was certainly no ordinary pill to refine.

Indeed, it was likely exceedingly "evil," perhaps using humans as ingredients for the pill.

Otherwise, why would they have slaughtered more than three hundred people?

According to the Myriad Poison Scripture, merely possessing the Myriad Poisons Great Pill was not enough; one also needed a corresponding secret method.

Yet this secret method did not seem to have been recorded in the Myriad Poison Scripture.

This secret method was the true key!

Only by cultivating it to perfection and then taking the Myriad Poisons Great Pill could one cleanse one's Bone Marrow and ultimately achieve Marrow Cleansing.

Once Marrow Cleansing succeeded, it would bring enormous benefits to a martial artist seeking to break through the Life and Death Profound Gate and attain the Divine Strength Realm.

Moreover, after cleansing one's marrow once, one's strength could rise dramatically upon reaching the Divine Strength Realm.

That was not an increase of several tenths, but severalfold!

The Myriad Poison Scripture even mentioned Blood Changing.

If one could undergo Marrow Cleansing Blood Changing before attaining the Divine Strength Realm, then upon entering the Divine Strength Realm, one would immediately become a powerhouse among those in the realm, sweeping aside martial artists of the same rank!

"No wonder the Myriad Poisons Sect went to every possible length to refine the Myriad Poisons Great Pill."

"This time, the Myriad Poisons Sect released Blood Strengthening Pills, most likely because they wanted to refine the Myriad Poisons Great Pill as well."

"Unfortunately, Shen Ying and I ruined it before they could even begin."

Lu Changsheng murmured softly.

The Myriad Poison Scripture claimed that the secret method combined with the Myriad Poisons Great Pill could cleanse one's marrow, and Lu Changsheng's heart could not help but stir.

He had already changed his blood once. If he could cleanse his marrow once more, it would be perfect.

However, Lu Changsheng currently had no means of cleansing his marrow.

Before reaching the Divine Strength Realm, Marrow Cleansing Blood Changing almost always required the aid of external objects.

External objects were difficult to find, and bringing a secret method to perfection was likewise immensely difficult for most martial artists.

Take Lu Changsheng's Nine-Character Thunder Sound Secret Method, for example.

Even if he gave it to other Organ Refining martial artists, how many of them could cultivate the Nine-Character Thunder Sound Secret Method to perfection?

Back then, Li Ji, the "Blade-Dragging Heavenly King," had possessed the Nine-Character Thunder Sound Secret Method, yet he had not reached perfection—not even Minor Accomplishment.

Secret methods were difficult, external objects were difficult, and cleansing one's marrow was even harder.

"Marrow Cleansing Blood Changing before the Divine Strength Realm is exceedingly difficult."

"Fortunately, I obtained a Blood Exchange Bead and have already completed Blood Changing."

"I won't force the issue of Marrow Cleansing. For now, Organ Refining remains my priority!"

"If I still cannot cleanse my marrow after reaching the limit of Organ Refining, then I'll break through and attain the Divine Strength Realm!"

Lu Changsheng swiftly formulated a cultivation plan in his mind.

In truth, he did not insist on Marrow Cleansing.

If it truly proved impossible, he would simply break through and become a Divine Strength Realm martial artist.

There was no need to pursue absolute perfection.

Otherwise, waiting bitterly for decades just to cleanse one's marrow would be far too foolish.

Lu Changsheng put away the Myriad Poison Scripture again.

The Divine Strength Chapter in the Myriad Poison Scripture was merely a reference for Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng wished to break through to the Divine Strength Realm, he would still need to find another Divine Strength Realm cultivation method suited to him.

"By the way, the Qi and Blood Silk seemed quite effective at killing people earlier. It could harm enemies over a wide area."

"But its use of qi and blood is still too crude, and the expenditure is too great. I can try creating a Martial Skill focused on attacking with qi and blood."

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and began attempting to create a Martial Skill of his own.

At that moment, his terrifying Comprehension of over 500 points began to show its effect.

Countless thoughts collided.

Countless Martial Skills converged and fused within his mind.

It had to focus on attacking with qi and blood, preferably consuming less qi and blood while making its power even greater.

With Blood Qi Silk Transformation, every strand of silk was like a sharp arrow, swift as lightning. Who could withstand it?

All kinds of Martial Skills flickered through Lu Changsheng's mind.

He had trained every single Martial Skill to perfection.

By now, Lu Changsheng had mastered well over One Hundred Martial Skills, every one of them perfected.

What kind of concept was that?

It was equivalent to having an entire library of Martial Skills stored inside Lu Changsheng's mind.

The strengths and weaknesses of countless Martial Skills could all be integrated and understood within his mind.

So long as he had a spark of inspiration, Lu Changsheng could create a Martial Skill of his own.

Time slipped by bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

Some of the vague ideas in Lu Changsheng's mind had now gradually taken shape.

"Whoosh."

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

At this moment, he had created an offensive Martial Skill centered on releasing qi and blood beyond the body.

This Martial Skill could transform qi and blood into threads as fine as silkworm silk.

A single strand of Qi and Blood Silk was like the Short Sword in Lu Changsheng's hand, relying on speed above all else—fast, precise, and ruthless!

Once released from the body, that strand of Qi and Blood Silk could instantly pierce through an opponent's vital points.

Moreover, qi and blood was extremely well concealed.

Within a certain range, transforming qi and blood into silk was even more covert than the Instant Kill Technique—truly killing without leaving a trace!

Yet this Martial Skill had flaws, and severe ones at that.

The flaw was distance.

If the target was within three zhang, this Martial Skill's power could reach its peak.

Beyond three zhang, a strand of Qi and Blood Silk would possess almost no power at all. It might even be completely expended before reaching beyond three zhang.

Only by layering countless strands of qi and blood together could it barely injure enemies beyond three zhang, but the expenditure was far too great.

The released Qi and Blood Silk could not be retrieved. Once it was released, that qi and blood was consumed, requiring a certain period of recuperation to recover.

Lu Changsheng had actually also drawn inspiration from the "Flying Sword" in his memories.

He treated each strand of Qi and Blood Silk as a Flying Sword.

They could leave his body and shoot down his opponents.

Although qi and blood was not a true sword, once its speed became so great that the opponent had nowhere to evade, all it had to pierce was flesh and blood.

It could have remarkable effects against martial artists below the Divine Strength Realm.

"Since this Martial Skill is based on Blood Qi Silk Transformation and draws from Flying Swords, I'll call it the Silk Sword."

Lu Changsheng gave this Martial Skill a fairly fitting name.

Thus, he summoned the Attribute Panel to examine the Martial Skill's status.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Comprehension: 546 (Potential Dragon in the Abyss)

Silk Sword: Beginner

Heavenly Water Organ Refining Technique: Third Layer

Nine-Character Thunder Sound Secret Method: Perfected (Incomplete)

His Comprehension had increased somewhat during this period, though not by much.

After all, Lu Changsheng no longer had any Martial Skills left to train.

As for the Heavenly Water Organ Refining Technique, it was the second Organ Refining Martial Arts Lu Changsheng had cultivated. Its effects could only be called middling; it tempered the internal organs, but the Nine-Character Thunder Sound Secret Method remained the most effective.

The Silk Sword Martial Skill Lu Changsheng had just created, meanwhile, was only at the Beginner level.

Even though Lu Changsheng had created this Martial Skill, he still needed to spend time and effort training it to perfection.

Although Lu Changsheng's Comprehension had reached 546 points, the Silk Sword Martial Skill he had created focused on releasing qi and blood beyond the body, and it still came with all kinds of drawbacks.

For example, it consumed a great deal of qi and blood.

And then there was the matter of using qi and blood like a sword—easy to say, difficult to do.

Qi and blood itself was soft. It was not metal, after all, so how could it compare to a truly sharp sword?

Faced with all these flaws, Lu Changsheng could only do his utmost to capitalize on its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.

If qi and blood was soft, then he would specialize in speed.

Once speed reached a certain level, even a drop of water could pierce through the hardest substance.

The Silk Sword was no exception.

At merely the beginner stage, the Silk Sword was not yet particularly powerful.

But once it reached perfection, the Silk Sword's speed would become terrifyingly fast, and its power would naturally rise with the tide.

With Lu Changsheng's astonishing Comprehension, along with the foundation of over a hundred Martial Skills, the Martial Skill he had ultimately created was certainly no ordinary one.

It was at least rank five or above, no weaker than the Instant Kill Technique.

Moreover, the Silk Sword could attack over a wide area, was exceptionally covert, and killed without leaving a trace.

Thus, the Silk Sword was very likely a rank-six Martial Skill!

After creating the "Silk Sword," Lu Changsheng seemed exhausted as well.

After all, he had just gone through a grueling slaughter at Xu Family Manor, and had also depleted quite a bit of his blood and qi.

So Lu Changsheng stopped practicing. After taking some tonics that replenished blood and qi, he promptly lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
