No Mental Cultivation Formula Left Behind

Exile Planet.

Under the baffled gazes of countless viewers, Yi Chen successfully reached the thorn bushes.

He picked over a hundred Thorn Fruits, tied them together with vines, and brought them back to the Mountain Cave.

Inside the Mountain Cave, Yi Chen began practicing.

One Thorn Fruit after another flew from his hand, shooting toward a rock by the entrance.

After getting somewhat used to and adjusting his technique for throwing Thorn Fruits, Yi Chen began sensing the changes in the Spiritual Energy in the air and the flow of air whenever he threw one.

"Is he practicing darts?"

"No wonder he left the Mountain Cave. He wasn't picking wild fruit—he went to pick Thorn Fruits. So he was planning to use them as darts to attack enemies from a distance."

"Smart. Whether in hardness, sharpness, or shape, these Thorn Fruits really can be used as darts."

"If he channels Spiritual Power into his arm and uses Thorn Fruits as darts to attack vital points, even low-level Ferocious Beasts might not be able to withstand it."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room finally understood why Yi Chen had gathered such a huge pile of Thorn Fruits.

But before long, they became somewhat confused again. Why was Yi Chen practicing darts for so long?

A day later, Yi Chen could already accurately hit a fist-sized target more than ten meters away with a Thorn Fruit.

Yet he continued practicing.

More precisely, he was using constant practice to comprehend the characteristics and principles of hidden-weapon cultivation arts.

Two days passed, then three, then four...

The days went by.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

In No. 10 Live Stream Room, the viewer count had dropped from an average of twenty to thirty million at its peak to only five or six million.

The main reason was not boredom. It was that Yi Chen only cultivated to replenish his Spiritual Power and rested his mind and body whenever his Spiritual Power was exhausted.

In most people's eyes, this had undoubtedly reached the limit. Further cultivation would be useless.

Yet Yi Chen was searching for a new breakthrough.

The appearance of a limit immediately caused many people to lose interest in Chaos Art.

After all, most people's talent was nowhere near comparable to Yi Chen's.

Yi Chen had taken only half a month to reach his current level, while most people would need around two years to get there.

Not to mention that cultivating Chaos Art carried unpredictable risks.

That should be enough!

After spending roughly half a month gaining insight, Yi Chen was confident that he had developed a considerable understanding of the characteristics and principles of hidden-weapon cultivation arts.

At the very least, creating a simple hidden-weapon cultivation art would not be a problem.

Next came the circulation route of the cultivation art.

Only when a Mental Cultivation Formula was paired with a circulation route could it unleash its greatest effect.

Yi Chen held a Thorn Fruit in his hand and half-closed his eyes. Under the control of his thoughts, a wisp of Spiritual Power left his Qi Sea.

It traveled toward his right arm.

Along the way, he tried guiding the Spiritual Power into an acupoint connected to his arm.

Relying on his extraordinary perception ability and reaction speed, the instant he sensed something wrong, he immediately controlled the Spiritual Power and withdrew it from the acupoint.

Then came the second acupoint, the third acupoint...

Just as he had done when creating the circulation route for Chaos Art, he kept trying one after another and combining them in different ways.

"Hey, look at the scan. Yi Chen seems to be doing the same thing he did when creating Chaos Art, controlling Spiritual Power to enter acupoints again and again."

"Could it be that Chaos Art has reached its limit, and he wants to create a new cultivation art?"

"No, look at the route. The Spiritual Power is heading toward his arm. And he's holding a Thorn Fruit."

"Don't tell me he wants to create a cultivation art that can make darts more powerful?"

"That's very likely!"

"Channeling Spiritual Power into the arm can already multiply arm strength several times over and greatly increase the power of darts. If he really develops a cultivation art that makes darts even stronger, then even a mere ten percent increase would raise their power to another level."

"He used the changes produced when Spiritual Power passed through acupoints to research and create Chaos Art. Now he's extending that idea to create a cultivation art that enhances the power of darts. His thinking really runs wild as a heavenly horse galloping through the sky."

After guessing Yi Chen's intentions, the viewers in No. 10 Live Stream Room could not help but marvel.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

Combining his understanding of the characteristics and principles of hidden-weapon cultivation arts, Yi Chen finally succeeded in developing a cultivation route diagram.

In addition, his intermittent cultivation had allowed him to break through from the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm to the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

This shattered the viewers' speculation that he had reached his limit and could no longer improve his realm.

"Let's call it the Flying Knife Art! With the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm added in, I should have at least some ability to protect myself!"

After going so long without contact with other people, Yi Chen realized that, like the original owner of this body, he had started developing the habit of talking to himself.

Fortunately, this would soon end.

He planned to leave the mountain!

Looking at the empty Mountain Cave, an inexplicable emotion rose in Yi Chen's heart.

He had stayed in this damp, dark Mountain Cave for nearly three months.

From nothing, he had created Chaos Art and Flying Knife Art, formally embarking on an incredible path.

Now that he was suddenly leaving, he felt reluctance, but also excitement and anticipation.

He wrapped several loops of vines around his waist, then tucked all one hundred-plus Thorn Fruits into them.

Yi Chen took a deep breath and left the Mountain Cave.

After taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

He planned to go to the Green Grass Tribe.

First, he would seize the position of Tribal Chief of the Green Grass Tribe. Then, he would promote Chaos Art within the Green Grass Tribe.

Using the members of the Green Grass Tribe as a foundation, he would steadily expand his sphere of influence.

The larger his sphere of influence became, the greater the talent bonuses from the Strongest Talent System would be. The more capable he would become of creating higher-level cultivation arts, and the faster he would cultivate.

Only by having the two complement each other could he form a virtuous cycle and continuously improve.

The problem now was that he did not know how to get to the Green Grass Tribe.

After the original owner had been driven out of the Tribe, he had lived every moment in fear and anxiety.

He had lost all sense of direction and could only wander about in confusion and helplessness.

Yi Chen searched his memories carefully and discovered that the original owner, who had never gone out hunting, did not even know which direction the Green Grass Tribe lay in on this Great Mountain.

He could only leave it to luck.

He did not take it too seriously.

If he could not find the Green Grass Tribe, finding another Tribe would work just as well.

After all, every Tribe spoke with its fists.

No longer hesitating, he once again set out on a new journey.

"What's going on?"

"Why does it feel like he plans to leave the Mountain Cave for good?"

"At the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, plus Flying Knife Art, low-level Ferocious Beasts cannot threaten his safety at all. It's normal for him to leave the Mountain Cave."

"Yeah! After all, staying alone for too long can easily cause mental problems. But why didn't he carve the Mental Cultivation Formula for Flying Knife Art onto the stone wall of the Mountain Cave?"

The tens of millions of viewers in the Live Stream Room were utterly bewildered.

Although most people had no plans to learn Chaos Art or Flying Knife Art for the time being.

That was only for now.

Many had already made up their minds that once the side effects of cultivating Chaos Art appeared, so long as they were not too severe, they would begin learning Chaos Art and Flying Knife Art.

But if Yi Chen did not carve down the Mental Cultivation Formula for Flying Knife Art, how would they learn it later?

The Large Unmanned Warship on Exile Planet was equipped with the Human Race's most advanced Scanner.

With the Scanner's NB Ray imaging, even images from deep within the Earth's core could be perfectly displayed.

As long as Yi Chen used Flying Knife Art, the route by which Spiritual Power traveled through his meridians could be obtained with ease.

But thought was also one of the forbidden zones that Human Race technology had yet to breach.

At most, the Scanner could use various data to scan Yi Chen's emotional state. It could not scan what he was thinking.

Unless Yi Chen recorded or spoke the formula for Flying Knife Art, it could not be obtained.

What were they supposed to do?

Waiting and watching for now, choosing not to learn it yet, had been a wise decision they had made themselves.

But being unable to learn it at all left them itching with frustration.
