Breakthrough! Divine Craftsman First Star

"The human body is a treasury brimming with infinite possibilities. It is only because this world was sealed from birth that those possibilities remained locked away. Spirit qi is the key to unlocking it all."

"These realms originally came only from records found in ancient ruins. Once people gained the possibility of cultivating and evolving, more and more ancient ruins were explored, and these realms were gradually completed..."

"Now, to prevent fellow cultivators from going astray, the realms have been made public. I hope everyone will compare them against their own circumstances."

Fang Yi sucked in a breath.

Judging by this introduction, it actually sounded rather convincing.

Scrolling down, he found a detailed explanation.

First Realm: Ghost Axe

Using the miraculous craftsmanship of heaven and earth's spirit qi to forge the weapons of mankind.

Use the Primordial Qi between heaven and earth to temper the body's projection. There is no threshold for this realm, no aptitude required, no distinction between the wise and the foolish. As long as one perseveres, one may enter it...

"Using spirit qi to forge the body into a human weapon?"

Fang Yi pondered briefly.

He sat up and activated the Golden Sun Breathing Technique.

Once he felt the heat surging within him, he immersed his mind in it.

Guided by the Golden Sun Breathing Technique, the spirit qi inside his body was fierce and powerful, like a colossal dragon charging wildly about. It was incomparably scorching, filled with a mysterious and transcendent aura.

The beginning of cultivation was to temper one's body into a human weapon, then use that weapon-like body to contain the spirit qi of heaven and earth. The first step was to attempt to control the spirit qi and forge the Divine Axe form.

At first, Fang Yi's movements were somewhat clumsy. But soon, he could feel the spirit qi twisting and gathering under his will like a dragon dancing through ink, gradually condensing into shape.

In an instant.

Fang Yi's body seemed to break free of its restraints.

A projection of a Divine Axe flowing with magma slowly took form.

He had entered the Divine Axe Realm!

Fang Yi felt an unprecedented power surging through his body, as though he had been reborn.

With the Spirit Qi Recovery imminent, the entire world was feeling its way through the dark. Yet he possessed the Golden Sun Breathing Technique, undoubtedly carving out a bright road through the darkness. There was likely no second person in the world who could advance as easily as he did.

Moreover, Fang Yi's Divine Axe was somewhat different. It gleamed with gilded splendor, dazzlingly radiant. It was probably because of the Golden Sun Breathing Technique.

"Entering the Divine Axe Realm is only the beginning. It says that after breaking through, I need to channel spirit qi to drive the Divine Axe."

"Each time the Divine Axe falls represents a one-star increase in my realm. But with my current strength, I can only swing it once even if I go all out."

Fang Yi murmured.

The Divine Axe Realm had a total of nine stars.

Driving the Divine Axe even once required an enormous expenditure of mental energy.

The blood and qi within his body roared with excitement.

The Divine Axe rang and trembled, eager to move. It roared and boiled as it swung down.

One star!

That was Fang Yi's current realm.

The might of the Golden Sun Breathing Technique was displayed to the fullest at this moment. He instantly felt that he had made contact with the Divine Axe, its scorching aura burning his soul until it blazed.

Golden light flickered over his entire body, making him seem like a blazing sun. It was the blood and qi tempered by the Golden Sun Breathing Technique within him surging and boiling wildly. His cells, bones, muscles—every inch of him resonated madly.

Golden light continued to shine forth, like a blazing sun obscured by a giant hand, with a corner of its mysterious veil lifted away.

A muffled groan sounded.

Scorching power flowed through his limbs and bones.

A satisfied sound escaped Fang Yi's throat.

If he activated the Golden Sun Breathing Technique now, what kind of effect would it have?

With a thought from Fang Yi, the Golden Sun Breathing Technique activated at once.

Previously, when he used the cultivation method to temper his body, he had possessed the body of an ordinary person. No matter how powerful the cultivation method was, it had been difficult to unleash its full effect. Though his bloodline had transformed somewhat, it felt as if all that power had accumulated in one place, unable to be brought out.

But things were different now.

That power was like a boiling river, flowing directly throughout his limbs and bones. A faint golden glow radiated from his skin, and terrifying power clung to everything from his hair to his fingertips. He had truly achieved internal balance.

Fang Yi carefully savored the sensation.

He felt incomparably exhilarated.

It had only been one day since he obtained the breathing technique and began cultivating, yet in that short time, he had directly broken through to the first star of the First Realm.

It might sound a little boastful.

But his cultivation speed was truly terrifying.

"It seems the Spirit Qi Cultivation Association really does know what it's doing."

Fang Yi looked toward his phone.

This post had come at exactly the right time.

Right now, all Spirit Qi Recovery Pioneers were feeling their way across the river by touching the stones. Yet the path of cultivation was fraught with obstacles and demanded the utmost precision; one could not afford to take even a single wrong turn.

This post, with a single realm chart, had directly set everyone onto the right path.

Fang Yi was undoubtedly one of its beneficiaries.

If he had relied on his own exploration, his breakthroughs definitely would not have come this quickly. This chart had saved him quite a bit of time.

"So the first realm is condensing the Ghost Axe to chop away at the flesh. What about the realms that follow?"

Fang Yi continued reading.

Every realm in the post came with an explanation, and they were described in great detail.

The second realm, Spirit Creation, involved using the body that had been forged nine times by the Divine Axe to create inner spiritual energy.

It sounded somewhat difficult, but in truth, it was a more precise and subtle form of control over spirit qi. However, such control required extensive practice, and Fang Yi was still unable to achieve it.

The third realm involved using inner spiritual energy to achieve unity of the five senses and unobstructed flow through the hundred limbs and bones. It could be called the Adamantine Body Realm.

The fourth realm...

Fang Yi kept scrolling. At the beginning, there were even some small methods to aid breakthroughs, but the farther down he went, the briefer the realm descriptions became.

When he reached the eighth realm, there was only a single short sentence.

Eighth Realm: King

With the Nether Domain as its core, merge the power of the sun, moon, and stars. Stand between heaven and earth, hold the universe in one's hand, and sit upon the Throne of the world.

Fang Yi's mind shook, and an image instantly surfaced in his head.

Within the vast, boundless Nether Purgatory, one sat high upon the Throne. With every gesture, heaven and earth trembled; the sun and moon revolved, mountain ranges shattered, and rivers flowed backward. What kind of ultimate power was that? It simply transcended all rules!

How could a human possibly possess such power?

Wouldn't that make them a god?

Divine Eye of the Array. Heavenly Dao Divine Mandate.

Holy shit.

For no reason at all, his blood started boiling.

That one pull had taken him straight to the bottom.

There was a comment below it with many replies.

The comment read: "I've learned a lot."

The replies beneath it were mostly insults.

Most people said the commenter was indulging in wild fantasies—one dared to make it up, and another dared to believe it. They said he should go to the psychiatric department and get his brain checked.

There were also kind-hearted people who advised him not to take it seriously and said real life mattered more.

After looking through them all, not a single person believed it. Everyone was cursing, criticizing, and pointing fingers.

But Fang Yi had a different thought.

He guessed that the commenter was also a Spirit Qi Recovery Pioneer.

Like himself, he had gained something from this cultivation chart, so he had simply left a word of thanks.

Unfortunately, those people did not know.

A year later, when the curtain of Spirit Qi Recovery was fully raised, just how terrifying would those people they mocked become?
