A Great Harvest!

Ye Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the lingering effects of his breakthrough to the True Condensation Realm, his gaze sharp as a blade.

The system's modification opportunity had refreshed, the thousand-year time limit unlocked—this was the perfect moment to strengthen the Earth Fiend Technique!

With a thought stirred, a clear command echoed in his mind: "System, modify the Earth Fiend Technique, set the time to a thousand years later."

A soft white light instantly enveloped his entire body, and martial arts memories far denser than any previous modification surged into his mind like a tidal wave.

They were insights from countless days and nights of tempering his physique over a millennium, the ultimate optimization of every meridian flow and every surge of blood and Qi within the Earth Fiend Technique.

When the white light faded, Ye Feng's eyes snapped open, and a series of bone-cracking sounds erupted from within his body, as if newfound power was awakening in his flesh and blood.

Ye Feng instinctively rose and threw a punch. As his fist cut through the air, a low dragon's roar emanated from it. Where the fist wind passed, space trembled faintly, and the ground even split into fine cracks.

Feeling the terrifying power surging within him, Ye Feng's breath quickened abruptly.

His 200,000 Jin of brute force had directly multiplied fivefold, reaching a million Jin!

This was the legendary One Flood Dragon's Strength!

Even an ordinary True Condensation Realm cultivator exhausting all their True Qi might not possess such terrifying power—likely enough to make even an Origin Embracing Realm expert take notice!

"The Earth Fiend Technique actually upgraded from Earth-grade Low-rank to Earth-grade High-rank, and automatically renamed itself to Verdant Origin... Earth Fiend Technique..."

Ye Feng examined the flow of the technique within his body, his heart shaken with awe.

"This strength is only the beginning."

Briefly calming his excitement, Ye Feng turned his attention to the other techniques he had mastered in his mind.

The foundational heart methods of the Heavenly Gang Art, Azure Origin Art, and Wind Shadow Sword Art...

With a thought stirred, Ye Feng successively applied the "thousand-year time limit modification" to these techniques.

[ Ding! Heavenly Gang Art modification successful! ]

[ Ding! Azure Origin Art modification successful! ]

[ Ding! Wind Shadow Sword Art modification successful! ]

The system's operation remained efficient; in just a short moment, the thousand-year cultivation memories of dozens of techniques flooded into his mind.

But soon after, Ye Feng frowned and pressed his hand to his forehead.

Too many martial arts memories clashed in his mind—the cultivation philosophies and meridian pathways of different techniques intertwined, causing sharp, stabbing pain in his head.

"I must fuse these memories as quickly as possible."

Ye Feng sat cross-legged, forcing himself to calm down. Relying on his memory absorption ability that far surpass ordinary people, he gradually sorted through and integrated this jumble of knowledge.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last wisp of memory fragment merged into his Sea of Consciousness, Ye Feng's eyes snapped open, a glimmer of enlightenment flashing within them.

All the knowledge from the techniques had been fully integrated and comprehended, elevating his understanding of the martial way to an unprecedented height!

Using the Earth-grade Low-rank Heavenly Gang Art as a foundation, combined with the strengths of other techniques, Ye Feng continuously refined and perfected it, ultimately elevating the Heavenly Gang Art from Earth-grade Low-rank all the way to Earth-grade Supreme-rank. He even created a brand-new technique framework, naming it the Divine Gang Art.

"The Divine Gang Art actually reached Twelfth Layer Perfection, and its cultivation speed has even broken through the limits of my own talent..." Ye Feng circulated the new technique, feeling the speed at which spiritual energy surged into his body, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Such an improvement far exceeded his expectations.

Suddenly remembering something, a flicker of eagerness appeared in Ye Feng's eyes.

"The Martial Pavilion has far more martial skills than techniques, and the accumulated martial knowledge is even deeper. If I could integrate all the martial skills the same way, I might be able to improve them from Earth-grade Low-rank to Heaven-grade!"

He knew that Heaven-grade martial skills were extremely rare in the Feiyun Sect and even throughout the entire Yan Nan State. The Feiyun Sect had never possessed one since its founding, and even within Yan Nan State, you'd be hard-pressed to find more than a few.

Ye Feng didn't hesitate. He prioritized modifying all sword-related martial skills.

Wind Shadow Sword Art, Blazing Flame Sword, Cold River Slash...

Each martial skill was modified with the thousand-year time limit, and dense sword technique memories surged in like a tide. Just absorbing these memories took two full hours.

Ye Feng remained seated with his eyes closed, his brows sometimes tightly knit, sometimes relaxed, as if he were undergoing a millennium-spanning cultivation of the sword.

"Hum—"

When the last wisp of sword technique memory merged into his Sea of Consciousness, Ye Feng's eyes snapped open. Two solid, condensed sword Qis shot from his gaze, striking the wall and leaving two inch-deep sword scars in the stone!

Ye Feng slowly rose, a faint sword pressure lingering around him. His entire being seemed to transform into an unsheathed sharp sword.

At this moment, he possessed the foundation of a Sword Dao Grandmaster!

"Breaking free from the original sword technique framework, fusing all sword knowledge..." Ye Feng raised his hand and grasped the Spirit Sword at his waist. With a light flick of his wrist, a streak of Azure Sword Qi shot out, condensing in the air into a sword shadow over ten feet long.

A new sword technique prototype emerged in his mind, and he immediately named it the Heaven Slaying Sword Art. For now, he had only comprehended its First Form, "Shatter the Heavens."

"This sword art, though not yet Heaven-grade, far surpasses Earth-grade Supreme-rank. It's a Pseudo Heaven-grade."

Feeling the power of the sword move, Ye Feng understood clearly.

What surprised Ye Feng even more was that, with the rise in his sword foundation, his Sword Intent had soared from 40% to 80%, officially stepping into the realm of Major Achievement in Sword Intent!

With the sword techniques settled, Ye Feng began modifying his fist technique martial skills.

Since the number of fist techniques was far fewer than sword techniques, all modifications were completed in just over half an hour.

Although they didn't reach Pseudo Heaven-grade like the sword art, he still managed to improve an Earth-grade Low-rank fist technique into the Earth-grade Supreme-rank Demon Subduing Vajra Fist.

His Fist Intent also rose from 30% to 70%, complementing his 80% Sword Intent, making his close-combat and long-range combat capabilities increasingly balanced.

Ye Feng stood in the center of the small courtyard, sorting through his current strength:

[Body Refining: Million Jin Giant Strength (One Flood Dragon's Strength), Earth-grade High-rank Verdant Origin? Earth Fiend Technique Major Achievement]

[Cultivation Method: Earth-grade Supreme-rank Divine Gang Art Twelfth Layer Perfection, Cultivation Speed at Talent Limit]

[Martial Skills: Pseudo Heaven-grade Heaven Slaying Sword Art (First Form? Shatter the Heavens), Earth-grade Supreme-rank Demon Subduing Vajra Fist]

[Intent: 80% Sword Intent (Major Achievement), 70% Fist Intent, Sword Dao Grandmaster Foundation]

Ye Feng gripped the Spirit Sword in his hand, a glint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"The Heaven Slaying Sword Art still needs more Movements to comprehend before it can advance to Heaven-grade, and other types of martial skills are worth modifying... Perhaps next, I could try challenging an Origin Embracing Realm expert to see where my current strength truly ranks."
