Seven Settling the Universe, a Supreme Art Reaches the Transformation Realm! Ice Block's Request

"Let's try using the Heavenly Book Seal first."

Li Mo took out the Heavenly Book Seal and pressed it down.

Nothing happened.

The tiny characters on it showed no sign of flowing inside.

Clearly, the Heavenly Book Seal could not complete the incomplete fragment of the martial art.

"How about I try learning the first eight forms first?"

Li Mo felt a toothache coming on.

If he had a choice, he did not want to learn a fragment either.

If there was truly no other way, he could only wait until he went down the mountain to carry out a sect mission, then take a look around the trading house. It would be best if he could spend money to buy a suitable martial art. Even if they did not have one for the time being, he could offer a hefty sum and have the trading house search for it.

At present, anything that could be solved with money did not count as a problem for Little Li.

Half an hour later.

He had already memorized the general principles of the Twelve Hammers of Settling the Wind and Waves until they were second nature.

Although he was not very willing to admit it,

he seemed to learn hammer techniques much faster than sword techniques.

"The fragment... should be able to receive martial insights."

Li Mo tentatively tried it.

[One year of insights successfully infused.]

[First year: Because your talent in hammer techniques was astonishing, even though the martial art you obtained was incomplete, you still persisted in practicing it. You reached the entry level in one month, initial mastery in three months, and minor mastery in six months.]

[Exactly one year later, inspiration descended upon you, and you actually broke through to great mastery!]

Li Mo: "...?"

No, seriously.

Great mastery in one year, and with an incomplete martial art at that. Is this really me?

So unfamiliar. Too unfamiliar.

The good news was that he had finally discovered another talent besides being handsome.

The bad news was that this talent...

"Sure enough, interest and talent are two different things."

"I can handle sabers, spears, swords, and halberds—so why did it have to be a hammer?"

Li Mo's feelings were complicated.

Could he perhaps comprehend hammer techniques to the transformation realm by relying on a fragment?

[Five years of martial insights successfully infused.]

[First year: You practiced the Twelve Hammers of Settling the Wind and Waves to perfection, but because there were no subsequent chapters, you encountered a bottleneck and remained trapped at the perfect realm, unable to make any further progress.]

[Second year: You began racking your brains, pondering the true meaning of this hammer technique and attempting to find the portions it lacked.]

[Third year: The path ahead, which had originally been severed, truly revealed a faint direction of progress. Feeling your way across the river by touching the stones, you created the ninth and tenth forms.]

[Fourth year: In your heart, this hammer technique was now merely a puzzle missing one corner. You effortlessly followed the momentum and created the eleventh and twelfth forms, successfully obtaining the complete Twelve Hammers of Settling the Wind and Waves. Compared with the original, it faintly surpassed its predecessor.]

[Fifth year: Your Twelve Hammers of Settling the Wind and Waves entered the transformation realm.]

"..."

Li Mo held his forehead, doubting his life.

First, countless insights into hammer techniques were surging through his mind.

Second... his talent in this area seemed even better than he had imagined!

Five years!

An incomplete martial art!

He had actually completed it from scratch and even cultivated it to the transformation realm!

Compared with the tortoise-like speed at which he learned sword techniques, this was no different from boarding a rocket.

"Is it because I was naturally good at hammer techniques?"

"Or did becoming the owner of the Calamity Meteor Hammer enhance my talent in this area?"

Divine weapons seemed to be more than merely powerful.

Sensing the Calamity Meteor Hammer within the World Seed, Li Mo did not investigate further for the time being.

He could not even bring the divine weapon out to use now, so there was no point in overthinking it.

"Let's complete the Twelve Hammers of Settling the Wind and Waves first."

Li Mo walked to a fairly flat blue stone.

He spread out some paper on it and began writing with a swish, swish.

Before long, a complete superior martial art appeared vividly on the paper.

He took out the Ancient Bronze Heavenly Book Seal and pressed it down. The tadpole-sized characters immediately streamed into it one after another, rapidly rearranging themselves.

In the end, even the martial art's name changed:

Seven Settling the Universe

A brand-new supreme art was born.

Seven Settling the Universe could be said to be a super-upgraded version of the Thirteen Hammers of Settling the Wind and Waves. Without changing the latter's core purpose, the former brought the concept of "slowness" to its utmost extreme.

Its essence was to use slowness to defeat speed and wield great weight as though it were light.

Once cultivated to the transformation realm, even an attack that appeared light and airy could erupt with terrifying might.

Splitting mountains, rending seas, and severing rivers were all within its power.

There was no need to say more.

Martial insights, activate!

At the same time.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time.

Clear Abyss Main Peak.

After a series of tests, the elders began discussing among themselves.

At the Blood-Qi Realm, she could already wield rosy light and perfectly display a superior sword technique at the transformation realm.

Her body had been tempered once daily by Taiyin aura, and her physical strength was also astonishingly formidable. She truly possessed ice-like skin and jade-like bones.

Even her Will Soul was inexplicably different from ordinary people's.

"Little Bing's combat strength is definitely not beneath the Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm."

"If her bloodline were not so pure, I would suspect she was the transformed descendant of some immensely powerful auspicious beast."

"Exactly. Born with twenty-four meridians, and her Blood-Qi Realm cultivation has not even reached the halfway point..."

The several elders had lived through most of their lives.

Today, they were genuinely at a loss for words. The stormy waves in their hearts had never ceased.

However.

What they did not know was that this was not all of Ying Bing.

She also possessed a trace of Taiyin Power that she could draw upon.

She also possessed the incomparably profound Rosy Soul.

And the unparalleled, peerless battle talent that stood above all beneath heaven.

As well as the former Phoenix Heavenly Empress's vision and experience.

The elders had failed to notice these things, and Ying Bing had no intention of mentioning them.

Her display of ability today was not meant to show off before others either. She had never cared about other people's opinions in the first place.

"I want to go down the mountain and make a trip to Purple Sun Prefecture City."

Ying Bing spoke softly, hugging her sword.

Her cool, clear voice fell to the ground, and the elders fell silent for a moment.

"Can you tell me what you intend to do down the mountain?"

Shangguan Wencang asked.

"A sect mission."

"Some missions can be completed within the sect, and you are not lacking in contribution-point rewards."

"There must be something else you need to take care of, right?"

The elders followed up with questions.

Ying Bing had not practiced martial arts for long, but her strength was more than sufficient.

Comparable to the Inner Breath Realm, she truly should not encounter any trouble going to Purple Sun Prefecture City.

But one could never be too careful!

Ying Bing said nothing, which counted as tacit acknowledgment.

Xue Jing thought for a moment and smiled.

"If it's something important, why not discuss it with us? We may have eaten more rice than you for half our lives, but we do have some influence in Purple Sun Prefecture."

"If it's something minor, it would be better to entrust it to someone you trust nearby. That would also save you from creating complications."

"I don't have..."

Ying Bing's vermilion lips parted. She was just about to say that she had no one she trusted, nor anyone by her side,

when a sunny young man inexplicably flashed through her mind.

He should count as someone trustworthy, right?

After pondering for a moment, Ying Bing nodded.

"Very well. I understand."

Elsewhere.

"Achoo!"

Little Li sneezed as he returned to Autumn Water Pavilion from the waterfall.

Strange.

With his physique now, crushing a blue stone was as easy as crushing a soft persimmon. Could he still catch a chill?

Hmm...

He still needed to practice more.

Unfortunately, he could not temper his physique by facing the Calamity Meteor Hammer within the World Seed, and he could not take it out either.

Body tempering would have to be put on hold for now.

"Seven Settling the Universe actually reached the transformation realm after only twenty years."

"What a pity. This hammer technique was never created for someone at the Blood-Qi Realm to use."

"At present, I can only perfectly execute the first stance."

Li Mo shook his head and muttered, calculating how powerful his strike would be.

At any rate... killing someone in the Inner Breath Realm should not be a problem, right?

The awkward part was that besides a divine weapon he could see but not use, he truly could not find a suitable hammer weapon.

Clack—

His front foot had barely entered Autumn Water Pavilion when the Sect Master's carriage arrived at the entrance.

After Ice Block stepped down, her eyes fixed on him.

"What is it?"

"I want to ask you for a favor."
