Hidden Force Cultivation Method, Five Elements Divine Skill!

"Greetings, Steward Liu."

Jiang Hao also rose and bowed to Liu Tai.

In theory, the position of steward was about the same as that of an Inner Disciple.

Many Inner Disciples became stewards after leaving the inner sect.

But since Liu Tai was now the instructor for the Hidden Force course, Jiang Hao naturally had to show him respect.

"It really is you!"

Liu Tai nodded.

Seeing Jiang Hao attend his Hidden Force class, Liu Tai had a vague understanding of Jiang Hao's current situation.

He was likely still at Manifest Force and hadn't broken through to Hidden Force.

There had already been rumors about this, with much criticism directed at Jiang Hao.

He had been in the Huangtian Sect for over a year, and had even been directly promoted to the Inner Gate, yet he was still at the Manifest Force cultivation level.

This cultivation speed was a bit slow.

It didn't quite match the astonishing feat of Jiang Hao clearing the ninth level of the Desolate Heaven Tower.

After all, Jiang Hao was a "Seed of the Dao" personally promised by the Sect Master.

However, to become a Seed of the Dao, one had to cultivate to Transforming Force within ten years.

More than a year had already passed, and Jiang Hao was still at the Manifest Force cultivation level.

Could he cultivate to Transforming Force within ten years?

Liu Tai gave Jiang Hao a deep look before beginning his lecture.

Since he already knew that Jiang Hao wanted to break through to Hidden Force, he started with the basic knowledge.

It was as if he was giving Jiang Hao a "special lecture."

This was also normal.

As a Transforming Force steward, how could Liu Tai compare to Jiang Hao's status?

It was a tremendous stroke of luck for Jiang Hao to attend his lecture.

Jiang Hao also listened attentively.

He gradually came to understand the difference between Manifest Force and Hidden Force.

Manifest Force was generated by vitality and blood, and was relatively easy to cultivate.

But Hidden Force was different.

Hidden Force was stimulated by the internal organs, moving from the inside out. Although it wasn't as vast and mighty as Manifest Force, it was the most insidious and concealed, making it impossible to guard against.

Once Hidden Force was cultivated, the body and mind became one, and the martial artist would have no obvious weaknesses.

Therefore, cultivating Hidden Force required strengthening the internal organs, primarily the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

By training the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, one could stimulate Hidden Force.

Then, one could advance to Hidden Force.

After a session on Hidden Force, Jiang Hao had actually grasped the principles of Hidden Force.

Liu Tai said with a smile, "Jiang Hao, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime."

Seeing Liu Tai's amiable demeanor, the other Outer Gate disciples exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After all, Liu Tai rarely showed such a pleasant expression.

However, they all knew the reason.

It was because of Jiang Hao.

One had to treat a genius like Jiang Hao differently.

Jiang Hao replied respectfully, "Steward Liu's lecture was profound yet easy to understand, and he explained it very clearly. I've mostly grasped the principles of Hidden Force."

"However, I still have a slight doubt regarding the strength of Hidden Force: how can one stimulate a stronger Hidden Force?"

This was also Jiang Hao's question.

Even Manifest Force had different levels of strength, and one could Purify Blood Qi and cultivate more Manifest Force techniques.

Hidden Force should be similar.

"That's very simple. Different techniques have different effects on the internal organs. Some techniques are very miraculous and can stimulate incredibly potent Hidden Force."

"The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Therefore, I suggest you choose the Five Elements Divine Skill to train your internal organs."

"Once you stimulate Hidden Force by training your internal organs with the Five Elements Divine Skill, and finally the five elements harmonize, the power of your Hidden Force will surge to an unimaginable level."

"The only drawback is that the Five Elements Divine Skill is very difficult to practice; even top Inner Gate geniuses find it hard to master. However, with your talent, you might be able to give it a try."

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up.

The Five Elements Divine Skill?

This is a valid approach.

"Thank you, Deacon Liu."

Jiang Hao felt that Liu Tai's suggestion was very pertinent.

However, regarding the specifics, Jiang Hao still needed to understand more about Hidden Force and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

For the next period, Jiang Hao not only focused on increasing his Manifest Force cultivation but also continuously attended classes at the Outer Gate.

He attended classes on Manifest Force, Hidden Force, and even Transforming Force.

Enriching his martial arts knowledge was never a bad thing.

However, Jiang Hao's frequent appearances at the Huangtian Sect's Outer Gate led to various rumors about him.

For instance, many Outer Gate disciples knew that Jiang Hao was still a Manifest Force martial artist.

He was even still some distance away from Hidden Force.

This was simply unbelievable.

They then speculated that when Jiang Hao previously broke through the ninth level of the Desolate Heaven Tower, he might have only been in the early stage of Manifest Force.

This was utterly preposterous.

Then, the fact that Jiang Hao hadn't broken through to Hidden Force for such a long time, had he encountered some trouble?

Or was he stuck before Hidden Force?

All sorts of guesses were circulating.

Moreover, as time went by, these rumors intensified.

However, Jiang Hao paid no attention to these rumors.

After all, how could outsiders know how fast Jiang Hao's cultivation speed was?

With ample elixirs, merely improving his Manifest Force cultivation was incredibly simple for Jiang Hao.

He reached the middle stage of Manifest Force in just one month.

It took him another two months to reach the late stage of Manifest Force.

From the time he began to fully focus on improving his cultivation until he reached the late stage of Manifest Force, it had only been a mere three months.

"Late stage of Manifest Force. My cultivation can't improve any further."

"Next, I need to train my internal organs to give birth to Force!"

"However, I need to confirm the cultivation technique first."

Jiang Hao had been attending classes at the Outer Gate during this period.

He had gained a deep understanding of Hidden Force.

Liu Tai had advised him to cultivate the Five Elements Divine Skill to train his internal organs and thus give birth to the Five Elements Hidden Force.

This was feasible.

Furthermore, once mastered, the power of the Hidden Force would be immense.

With this thought, Jiang Hao headed to the Martial Tower again.

The elder of the Martial Tower saw Jiang Hao and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"All three Divine Skills have been mastered?"

The Martial Tower elder asked.

"Reporting to the elder, this disciple has mastered the three great Divine Skills. I am here this time to find a Hidden Force cultivation technique."

Jiang Hao replied.

"One and a half years to master three Divine Skills?"

The Martial Tower elder's eyes widened.

Fast!

It was too fast!

However, in reality, Jiang Hao had already mastered the three great Divine Skills three months ago.

But there was no need to elaborate on such details.

"What are your thoughts on Hidden Force cultivation techniques?"

The Martial Tower elder asked.

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment. His choice of cultivation technique was not a secret.

Moreover, the Martial Tower elder was intimately familiar with all the cultivation techniques in the Martial Tower.

Perhaps he could even recommend something.

Thus, Jiang Hao stated truthfully, "This disciple intends to cultivate the Five Elements Divine Skill to achieve Hidden Force."

"Five Elements Divine Skill? What great ambition!"

"This Five Elements Divine Skill has never been successfully cultivated by anyone since it was included in our Huangtian Sect. Are you sure you want to cultivate it?"

"I'm sure."

In reality, Five Elements cultivation methods don't necessarily have to be Divine Skills.

As a second-best option, one could cultivate top-tier cultivation methods.

They are just slightly inferior to Divine Skills.

However, Jiang Hao was confident in his Comprehension and Bone Root.

Cultivating a Divine Skill would lay a more solid foundation and provide stronger combat power, bringing him nothing but benefits.

"Five Elements Divine Skill... First floor, ninth row of bookshelves, third level."

"Thank you, Elder."

Jiang Hao went to the ninth row of bookshelves and indeed found the Five Elements Divine Skill.

The Five Elements Divine Skill was a complete set of Hidden Force cultivation methods, covering everything from how to train internal organs to generate Hidden Force, and then how to nourish and strengthen it after it was born.

It could be described as very comprehensive.

Jiang Hao confirmed that this was the Five Elements Divine Skill.

Jiang Hao then browsed the Martial Arts Building for a while longer.

He pondered the martial arts he possessed.

For offense, the Fierce Tiger Fist was sufficient.

The Fierce Tiger Fist would be enough to reach the Manifest Force stage.

As for saber or sword techniques, Jiang Hao didn't like them.

Next was movement techniques.

Jiang Hao was lacking in a movement technique.

However, Jiang Hao had quite a few requirements for a movement technique.

He hoped to find one suitable for long-distance sprints that could also assist in combat.

There were many movement techniques in the Martial Arts Building.

Jiang Hao finally found one called "Moon Chasing Footwork."

Moon Chasing Footwork wasn't about agile evasion; instead, it involved practicing a special footwork that was direct and straightforward, possessing excellent explosive power and endurance.

If cultivated to Perfection, it could even grant the True Intent Secret Move "Inch-Shrinking Step."

Jiang Hao was very satisfied, so he returned to the Martial Arts Building Elder.

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder. I'd like to redeem two martial arts."

The Martial Arts Building Elder glanced at the Five Elements Divine Skill and Moon Chasing Footwork, said nothing more, and directly handed the cultivation method manuals to Jiang Hao.

"When cultivating the Five Elements Divine Skill, it's best to proceed gradually, focusing your energy on training one internal organ at a time. Once you generate Hidden Force from it, then train other organs."

"Supplementing this with corresponding internal organ nourishing pills will yield better results and effectively prevent internal injuries from accumulating."

Jiang Hao heard this and respectfully bowed, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder."

Normally, the Martial Arts Building Elder didn't have the time to guide disciples' cultivation.

But Jiang Hao was different.

The Martial Arts Building Elder also appreciated talent.

For a once-in-a-century genius like Jiang Hao, the Martial Arts Building Elder couldn't help but offer some guidance.

"Remember, don't be overly ambitious. A solid foundation is what allows you to go further."

"You may go."

The Martial Arts Building Elder waved his hand.

Jiang Hao then turned and left the Martial Arts Building.
