Innate Cultivation Method: Cold Shadow Absolute

Shen Fan's words, while convincing to many, held a hint of doubt even for himself.

However, he was determined to kill Huang Ling. Their animosity was irreconcilable. Since he had dared to bare his fangs after being defeated, Shen Fan couldn't possibly let him go.

The best way to cultivate the Longevity Martial Path was to eliminate all sources of danger.

After Huang Ling's death, the dozens of Viscera Refiners he had brought with him no longer resisted.

What was there to resist? In Shen Fan's hands, even a congenital master had been killed. How could these insignificant ants dare to stir?

The surrender of the high-level combatants led to the surrender of the entire force. In this way, the Ox Demon Martial Arts School subdued almost all the powerhouses in Laiyang City with little effort.

Zhang Longyun, in one fell swoop, became the most powerful person in Laiyang, a feeling that made him feel like he was dreaming.

But he also knew how he had obtained all of this, so he held Shen Fan in extreme reverence.

"Third Brother, with this, our Ox Demon Martial Arts School is now the master of Laiyang City. From now on, we must be careful and develop well!"

Zhang Yunhu said with a solemn expression, "Big Brother, while developing the martial arts school is important, what's even more crucial is to win over that person!"

Regarding Shen Fan, Zhang Yunhu didn't even dare to mention his name directly anymore.

In Laiyang City's martial arts circles, Shen Fan had almost become a taboo.

Upon hearing Zhang Yunhu's words, Zhang Longyun naturally understood.

"Then what should we do to tie him to our chariot?"

"Gold and silver, beautiful women, or what?"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Yunhu's eyes. "Big Brother, you're so muddled. What gold and silver and beautiful women? These are all external things. What do we martial artists crave the most? Isn't it to become stronger ourselves?"

"So you mean, give him treasures, or cultivation methods?" Zhang Longyun was a little uncertain. He was truly not good at dealing with people.

"Yes, give him treasures, give him cultivation methods. Although, with that person's strength, he definitely has his own inheritance, but offering our most precious things can better represent our sincerity!" Zhang Yunhu said with conviction.

Although Shen Fan had only been an ordinary disciple before, everyone now chose to ignore that fact.

In Laiyang City, this person was the undisputed strongest!

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Longyun finally made up his mind. "Alright, Third Brother, I'll trouble you with this matter. We can give him a copy of our cultivation method and secret manuals!"

"Big Brother, not just from our martial arts school, but also from the other families, we must send them over too!"

"Yes, Third Brother, you are indeed thoughtful!"

Soon, under the leadership of Zhang Longyun and Zhang Yunhu, the martial arts texts of the Four Great Martial Arts Schools were all sent to the City Lord's Mansion, as Shen Fan had chosen to reside there.

Compared to his previous residence, the City Lord's Mansion felt more comfortable. Not only were there dedicated training grounds, but the other buildings were also grand and magnificent, perfectly matching Shen Fan's aesthetic.

Moreover, his current identity was no longer suitable for staying with ordinary disciples.

The first thing Shen Fan did upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion was to find the martial arts and cultivation methods collected by Huang Ling. Among these collections, Shen Fan valued the Innate Cultivation Method: Cold Shadow Absolute the most.

As for other cultivation methods, he temporarily set them aside.

As he gradually understood the Innate Cultivation Method, Shen Fan also learned what kind of realm the Innate Realm truly was.

If martial artists in the Qi and Blood Great Realm mainly focused on increasing Qi and Blood to temper their bodies, then reaching the Innate Realm was completely different.

The process of becoming Innate involved unblocking the meridians within the body, drawing in Spiritual Energy to temper the body, and thus forming True Essence within the body.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid not finding it next time.

However, more specific details had to be accomplished through cultivation methods.

In the Innate Realm, martial artists no longer competed based on Qi and Blood, but on the quantity and quality of their Innate True Essence.

Generally speaking, the more Qi and Blood a martial artist had and the stronger their physique was when breaking through to the Innate Realm, the more Innate True Essence they could accommodate.

In the Innate Ninth Layer, the first three layers were all about accumulating the quantity of Innate True Essence.

Depending on individual physique, the amount of True Essence the body could accommodate varied. Some could only hold tens of strands, some hundreds, and some even thousands!

When the True Essence in the body reached its limit, it needed to be compressed to form Liquid True Essence. This was the process of improving the quality of True Essence, corresponding to the fourth to sixth layers of the Innate Realm.

Once all the True Essence in the body condensed into liquid form, one needed to gradually open up the Dantian. During the process of opening the Dantian, the Liquid True Essence would become active, and finally, it might form True Essence.

Once True Essence was condensed, it meant you had broken through to the next realm – the Core Formation Realm.

Shen Fan did not understand the Core Formation Realm or higher realms because the City Lord's Mansion's records did not contain such information.

Innate experts were already considered powerful individuals, at least in Lanzhou Xuanyang Prefecture. As for the higher Core Formation Realm, only truly major powers would possess such cultivators.

Therefore, Shen Fan was not in a hurry to understand higher realms; his current priority was to break through to the Innate Realm as quickly as possible.

With Cold Shadow Absolute, he believed he would be able to break through in no time.

The next day, Zhang Longyun and Zhang Yunhu brought a large number of martial arts classics to the City Lord's Mansion. After stating their purpose, they were smoothly admitted.

Upon meeting, Zhang Longyun adopted a very humble posture: "Senior Shen, I am deeply ashamed to disturb you today. However, I heard you are passionate about martial arts, so I took the liberty of bringing all the martial arts classics that could be collected in Laiyang City!"

Shen Fan was initially unaccustomed to Zhang Longyun's address, but he dismissed it. In this world, if a strong individual was too casual, it would be difficult for the weak to feel at ease.

"Mm, you've worked hard. Rest assured, I will not interfere in Laiyang City. You may proceed as you normally would."

Shen Fan's eyes eagerly scanned the large pile of classics they had brought, his heart already impatient.

The people present naturally understood Shen Fan's intention. After a few more pleasantries, they all left. Only Zhang Yunhu glanced back at him with a complex expression.

Shen Fan didn't say anything. He had his own plan and would settle everything at the last moment.

With a large number of martial arts and cultivation methods, Shen Fan was once again busy. Although his talent far surpassed ordinary people, it was still a bit difficult to master all the cultivation methods quickly.

But it didn't matter. His lifespan had already far exceeded that of ordinary Innate Experts, so spending a little more time was not a problem.

He practiced martial arts, practiced martial arts madly. Both First-class Martial Arts and Second-class Martial Arts were needed by Shen Fan. As for those below Second-class, they could no longer bring him breakthroughs in Attribute Points, so they became references for him.

As for the Martial Path, one had to learn from the strengths of various schools to go further.

While Shen Fan was concentrating on practicing martial arts, Laiyang City finally regained stability and re-established order. Now, Laiyang City had only one overlord-level force, which was the Ox Demon Martial Arts School. As for the City Lord's Mansion, it had become a taboo, a transcendent taboo.

No one dared to disturb Shen Fan, who was in secluded cultivation. This allowed him to have more energy to study martial arts, so he was quite satisfied with this.

During this period, the only time Shen Fan went out was to the Ox Demon Martial Arts School to bring Li An back.

He had said that he would teach Li An the Martial Path and help him break through his True Combined Strength to Great Accomplishment. This was his promise, so Shen Fan did it.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Fan only had two things to do each day: one was to practice martial arts himself, and the other was to teach Li An martial arts.

The two of them were like ascetics, running tirelessly on the great road of the Martial Path.

However, Shen Fan's progress speed was far from what Li An could match, as the difference in their Aptitude was quite significant.

But it didn't matter. For Li An, every moment spent with Senior Brother Shen now was the most precious memory for his future. As for strength, it would happen naturally.
