Heaven Stealing Technique
At a height of over fifty meters above the ground, a cool breeze occasionally blew by, causing a shiver to run through the air.
Although the wind was far from strong enough to push a person off a great height, the "Seeker of the Way" who were maintaining this high-risk maneuver felt a chill run down their spines.
But this fear brings with it a clash between hesitation and impulsiveness.
Those who can come here to cultivate are all "geniuses" who have already cultivated to the Qi Sensation. But it is precisely because of this talent that they understand why that seemingly otherworldly immortal would pass down such a risky Evil Spell.
Because in this era, it is extremely difficult to cultivate oneself through ordinary means!
Although many novels often tout the human body as an innate Dao body and humans as the most suitable race for cultivation, after they successfully cultivate Qi, their progress is as slow as a tortoise's crawl, and the various "pollutes" accumulated in their bodies due to modern life severely suppress their progress.
Is it because I lack talent?
Many people had this thought at the moment they successfully cultivated Qi, but they quickly dismissed it.
After all, they were all geniuses who successfully found their Qi Sensation in just one day or even half a day. If that's considered poor talent, then what kind of talent would be considered good?
Perhaps it was due to human nature, or the influence of novels (Note ①), and of course, various hints in dreams, but in any case, these people all had similar thoughts—
It's not that we lack talent, but rather that this era is no longer suitable for cultivating immortality.
Realizing that a normal, step-by-step cultivation method could take forty or fifty years to complete the Qi Refining stage, how many people could still maintain the patience to persevere?
In addition, the gambling instinct inherent in human DNA led to the emergence of gamblers who believed their talents could withstand the temptations of Heaven Stealing Technique.
Sitting at a height from which a fall would be certain death, he accelerated his barely Qi Sensation Internal Force to its limit with a frenzied method, much like transforming a steam engine into an internal combustion engine, turning the originally gentle steam into a violent explosion.
The violent True Qi surged through his body at a speed that even a racing god couldn't match, but amidst the stinging pain, a strange excitement was also rising.
Seeing their internal True Qi increase at a rate dozens or even hundreds of times faster than normal cultivation, and seeing their bodies strengthen at a visible speed, these gamblers, having tasted the sweetness of success, became even more frenzied.
Under the influence of their Fated Death, no matter how recklessly they act, they are destined not to die.
In general, Fated Death simply means not dying, but it's still possible to become a vegetable, paralyzed, or hemiplegic. However, the basic rule of Heaven Stealing Technique is that you must stay in a place where failure means certain death. This means that as time goes by, everyone will find that those who truly practice the method of Heaven Stealing Technique are all fine, while those who are hesitant and indecisive are very likely to die.
Even with survivor bias, and even if there isn't a single dead person, the number of people Heaven Stealing Technique is destined to increase.
And more and more people are cultivating True Qi.
True Qi, what a magical power! Even for beginners, there is no way to use this power. They can neither draw talismans nor understand magic. But even if they simply use it to circulate within their bodies, they can make it so that a body that would have difficulty carrying a bucket of water can easily carry a bag of rice up five flights of stairs.
This miraculous change essentially confirms the reality of cultivation.
Even in an era before the media was developed, such an event was enough to attract attention from all sides, and cultivation techniques were spread rapidly. Even though the authorities strictly prohibited the act of "Heaven Stealing Technique," new gamblers continued to join in.
If you ask why--
So many people have Heaven Stealing Technique and survived, it can't be me who's unlucky, right?
A large number of Qi Refining Realm cultivators began to appear, to the point that even the old ladies who went out to collect eggs in the morning started talking about True Qi. The Trait Feng Xue had been hoping for were finally compiled.
Trait: Six-Complete True Immortal
Tag: [Immortal], [Master], [Great Power], [Sect Leader], [Heaven Stealing Technique], [The First Modern Ascender]
Synopsis: No one knows where he came from, nor what his name is, but everyone knows that on that day, he Riding Sword on the Wind; on that day, he shattered the lightning tribulation with a single sword strike; on that day, he spread his teachings throughout heaven and earth; on that day, he transformed from a mortal into a true immortal.
As the first true ascension to immortality in human history, his story is still considered a rumor by many. However, once the Qi cultivation method he passed down was truly mastered, all the doubters fell silent.
Because he cultivated the Six Completions Way, which encompasses "all skills, all strength, Full Heart, Full Mind Full Spirit, Full Nature," some enthusiasts called him the Six-Complete True Immortal, while others, based on his method of "Heaven Stealing Technique," called him the Heavenly Mechanism Daoist.
Power: [Immortal]
Real World Rules: [Qi Refining Accomplishment]
Companion Phantom: [Riding and Shooting Twin Swords], [The Six Completions Way]
"It's done!" Feng Xue felt a strong sense of excitement as she experienced her new power. Powers are like those recorded in history books; the fewer the words, the greater the significance. Before the power of [Immortal], Feng Xue's only Single Character Authority was [Martial].
These two powers are, in essence, surprisingly consistent.
[Martial] can incorporate all things in heaven and earth into martial arts, and [Immortal] is the same thing. However, Feng Xue's [Immortal] power lacks one crucial element—
Reference book.
Feng Xue's [Martial] abilities are so outstanding because she has the extraordinary Phantom Object manual, <Peerless Martial Art>, as a reference, but immortals...
To be honest, if Feng Xue were to activate his powers now, everything in the world would take on a wondrous charm, but if he were to use this power to create a cultivation technique, he really wouldn't know where to begin.
This is like expecting a mathematical genius, no matter how talented, to create mathematical tools like calculus if they don't even have a basic understanding of mathematics. That's really unrealistic.
However, Feng Xue wasn't flustered, after all, he still had two Companion Phantom—
Name: Phantom Object - Riding and Shooting Twin Swords
Elements: [Flying Sword], [Weapon], [Vehicle], [Magic Treasure]
Brief introduction: The pair of Flying Sword used by the Six-Complete True Immortal. They were once used to shatter the heavenly tribulation. As the name suggests, one sword was used for defense and the other for shooting.
Note: While it's fine to use them interchangeably, please do not combine the two swords while flying.
Name: Phantom Object - The Six Completions Way
Elements: [Secret Manuals], [Cultivation Techniques], [Cultivation of Immortality]
Synopsis: This is a cultivation method passed down by the Six-Complete True Immortal. It includes an introductory section on Qi Refining and a General Outline. It is said that as long as one Qi Refining Accomplishment, one can comprehend the true path of cultivation from the General Outline.
Note: You're just making empty promises again.
Note 1: Although technology is locked, fantasy is not. At most, the channels have changed from the Internet to newspapers and magazines. In addition, the gradual decline of the world did not start with Webnovel. Traditional novels have had this problem.
It inherently contains Confucian ideas of revering antiquity; early Webnovel frequently referenced ancient times.
Its superiority over modern technology is actually influenced by this aspect.
Some people might not know about the less common ones, so let's talk about the most classic ones: Jin Yong's martial arts novels. It's clear that as time goes by, the martial arts skills of each generation are not as good as the last. From Yue Nu Jian fighting three thousand armored soldiers alone, to the Sweeper Monk's three-foot qi wall, to Guo Jing stepping on his own foot with his left foot, to Zhang Wuji being immune to all poisons, and finally to Wei Xiaobao, anyone with a little Internal Force is a first-class master, and he can run rampant in the martial arts world by relying on sleeping potion.
Why is Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Sword so unstoppable and fierce, while Hong Qigong's emphasizes regret? Because Qiao Feng could kill with one slap if he couldn't kill with two, so he didn't need to regret it. But by Hong Qigong's time, he had to conserve his strength. If he could kill with one slap, he would try not to use a second one. Later, in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, even bizarre sects like the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect emerged. If you put this in the era of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the Sword Sect would be a joke.
