Devouring the Starry Sky: Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Joining the Chat Group

"Of course! Don't you know whose wife I am?"

Ling Ling's pretty face beamed with pride as she asked, "Honey, when's your practical assessment?"

"One month from now."

Jiang Li chomped away, eating heartily. "Don't worry, the practical assessment isn't dangerous. Your husband is a Warrior-level martial artist now. Huh? You know what Warrior-level means, right?"

"I know. Huh? Warrior-level?"

Ling Ling answered at first, then froze completely.

How was this possible?

In just one short month, going from an ordinary person straight to Warrior-level?

This... how?

"What do you think? Your husband's not bad, huh!"

Seeing Ling Ling's stunned expression, Jiang Li raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, Jiang Li had no idea that in that instant, countless thoughts had already been born in Ling Ling's mind.

Even after dinner, she still found it unbelievable.

How had her little man suddenly become so monstrous?

Late at night.

Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Now that I have the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method, combined with martial arts techniques, I should be able to cultivate a better cultivation method."

Jiang Li's heart stirred, and he began to immerse himself in cultivation.

[You comprehend the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method. You sense a cosmic energy from the universe. You realize this cultivation method is like those martial arts manuals that absorb moonlight essence and sunlight essence. You seem to have a new idea...]

[You combine it with the Tai Chi Body Tempering Breathing Method, using yin and yang as the foundation—one yin, one yang, one sip, one peck—and you create the Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art.]

Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art: Based on yin and yang energy, it absorbs the chaotic energy drifting between heaven and earth, tempering the body. At its peak, it can cultivate the Chaos Indestructible Body.

In an instant, a trace of chaotic energy from the universe, drifting between heaven and earth, seeped through the void and merged into Jiang Li's body.

In that single moment, Jiang Li felt a mysterious sensation coursing through his body—a feeling a hundred times more intense than when the yin and sun energies had entered him before.

The technique that had previously flowed with blockages now moved over a hundred times faster.

"A high-level technique really is something else!"

Jiang Li rejoiced inwardly and opened the chat group.

He clicked the upload technique button.

[Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art, Immortal Cultivation Technique, valued at 500,000 points. Confirm upload?]

Holy crap!

500,000 points!

Jiang Li was overjoyed.

And it was actually an Immortal Cultivation Technique. It seemed the Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art was far more precious than he had imagined.

After all, the techniques uploaded by others in the group had never reached even 10,000 points at most.

"Upload!"

Suppressing his excitement, Jiang Li immediately selected upload.

[Devourer Lord: Hey, everyone, eaten yet?]

Seeing Jiang Li speak, the old-timers in the group were about to chime in when suddenly, the system let out a notification:

[Devourer Lord has uploaded a new technique. Members in need can check it out in the shop!]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: @Devourer Lord, the big shot has uploaded another new technique, even more diligent than Zhang Sanfeng!]

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: Last time it was a sword technique worth 13,000 points. I wonder what it is this time?]

[Wudang Centenarian: Say no more, I'm going to check it out.]

[I Am Spider-Man: ???]

[Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method: Worshiping the big shot. I'll go take a look too. Buying it is out of the question...]

[...]

Soon, Zhang Sanfeng returned and sent a message.

[Wudang Centenarian: @Devourer Lord, impressive, big shot. This technique is actually an Immortal Cultivation Technique, valued at 500,000 points. This old Daoist is in awe.]

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 9: Zhang Sanfeng: Sword, Come!

500,000 points!

What kind of figure was that?

The most expensive technique among them didn't even cost 10,000 points.

Last time, this Devourer Lord had already uploaded a sword art worth 13,000 points, and now this Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art seemed to be an internal cultivation method.

If these were cultivated together, wouldn't that be invincible?

Cultivation for immortality!

How many martial artists dreamed of that path?

Right now, Yue Buqun really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

Letting his mouth run, doubting that big shot!

He hoped the big shot was magnanimous and hadn't taken his words to heart.

At this moment, the other group members had also finished reading and returned!

[Zombie Taoist: Whew~ Good heavens, 500,000 points. Even if I sold my entire Maoshan Sect, it probably wouldn't be worth that much. Terrifying, truly terrifying.]

[I Am Spider-Man: So envious. Sect Leader Yue, you were questioning the newcomer earlier. What do you think now?]

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: Don't mess with me. I already knew I was wrong when the Devourer Lord uploaded the Taiji Immortal Sword Art before. Don't try to drive a wedge between me and the big shot.]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: Oh my, already starting to suck up?]

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: What do you mean suck up? This is Yue's admiration for the strong!]

[Devourer Lord: Everyone's being too formal. We're all group mates. Just call me Jiang Li.]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: The big shot finally shows up!]

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: Worship the big shot.]

[Zombie Taoist: Big shot Jiang Li, do you have any cheaper techniques? The expensive ones are too much for us to afford.]

[Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method: Agreed! 500,000 points, really can't afford it. Even the Taiji Immortal Sword Art is beyond my means!]

[Little Li Flying Dagger: +1]

Devourer World.

Jiang Li rubbed his chin. Last time, if Zhang Sanfeng hadn't given him a meditation technique, he wouldn't have become a martial artist. Such a debt of gratitude had to be repaid.

"Zhang Zhenren walks the path of Taiji, which fits perfectly with the Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art."

Jiang Li didn't want to go through the trouble either, but all the techniques he had on hand were uploaded to the group shop and couldn't be traded privately.

[You comprehend the Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art. You begin to analyze and simplify it. You have comprehended the simplified version—Taiji Chaos Art.]

"Even though it's a simplified version, it barely steps into the realm of cultivation."

Jiang Li thought to himself.

Then, he casually uploaded the Taiji Chaos Art.

[Taiji Chaos Art, cultivation technique, valued at 20,000 points. Confirm upload?]

"No!"

Jiang Li chose no, then opened the chat page and sent a red envelope to Zhang Zhenren.

[Devourer Lord sent an exclusive red envelope to Wudang Centenarian!]

[Devourer Lord: @Wudang Centenarian, Zhang Zhenren, last time I was grateful for your technique. Thank you! A small token, not worthy of your esteem.]

[Wudang Centenarian has received your exclusive red envelope.]

[Wudang Centenarian: Thank you for the red envelope, big shot. Last time was just a small favor. You're too kind.]

Yitian World.

Wudang Mountain.

Zhang Zhenren sat cross-legged on a massive boulder, with a forest of strange rock formations behind him and a ten-thousand-foot cliff before him.

When he saw Jiang Li send a red envelope, he didn't think much of it.

But when he received it and casually had the points shop appraise it, he froze completely.

"A cultivation technique? 20,000 points?"

Even with Zhang Zhenren's composure, he couldn't help but waver at this moment.

Was this... wasn't this too generous?

[Wudang Centenarian: @Devourer Lord, big shot, isn't this thank-you gift too generous? This old Daoist's meditation technique was just the most basic of martial arts. You're giving me a cultivation technique worth 20,000 points...]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: What what what? A cultivation technique? 20,000 points?]

[Zombie Taoist: Zhang Zhenren, Big Shot Jiang Li gave you a cultivation technique worth 20,000 points?]

[Wudang Centenarian: That's right. Big Shot Jiang Li is far too kind. Though this old Daoist feels unworthy of the gift, since it concerns cultivation... ah, I can only accept it with a thick face.]
