Mother's Letter, the Weight of the Great Sumeru Hammer Records

Carrying his doubts with him, Dai Chengfeng picked up the envelope.

But before he could flip it open...

All at once, an incomparably familiar, faint Celadon Orchid Fragrance drifted over. "Mother!"

Dai Chengfeng instantly knew who this letter had come from.

After all, he was far too familiar with the scent his mother loved. In the entire imperial palace, only his mother could use Celadon Orchid Fragrance.

For a moment, a hint of tenderness flashed through Dai Chengfeng's eyes.

As the Star Luo Emperor, Dai An was destined never to show a tender side in front of Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai, Dai Chengfeng, and the others...

After all, the competition for the throne of the Star Luo Empire was brutal. Its ending was almost always either you die or I perish. He was deeply afraid that if he grew too close to anyone, he would be unable to bear it in the future.

Even if Dai An did not want that, there was nothing he could do.

This was the rule of the ancestors!

And so, this also led to Dai An almost never showing the slightest tenderness or praise toward Dai Chengfeng in front of him. Most of what he did, he did silently.

Only after Dai Chengfeng awakened Innate Full Soul Power did things improve a great deal.

But during his childhood, the only place where Dai Chengfeng could feel warmth was in his mother's embrace.

"It's been so long since I saw Mother..."

Thinking this, Dai Chengfeng carefully opened the envelope. Feng'er, Mother heard you ran off again, and you're even running to the Heaven Dou Empire!

What a pity. Mother was still waiting for you to come home... I haven't seen you in a year. I wonder if you've grown thinner, or fatter?

But~

If you want to leave, Feng'er, Mother also believes you have your own thoughts. Mother is unwilling to block you too.

But remember what you promised Mother. You must come back safe and sound.

Mother knows you must be very curious about these Self-Created Soul Skills... These are all gifts your imperial father and I chose for you.

Oh right, Mother will secretly tell you something!

Originally, according to the rules of the Star Luo Empire, any prince who did not become the next Star Luo Emperor could only receive one book each, but your imperial father gave you all the best ones to grasp.

He didn't want me to tell you either, hehe!

Mm...

The letter, up to this point, had a long stretch of blank space.

Dai Chengfeng understood that this was because his mother had countless words in her heart, yet did not know how to begin.

Until the final line.

Remember, even if you fail to do something well, don't be frustrated, but you absolutely, absolutely, absolutely must pay attention to your own safety.

Mother will always be in Star Luo City, waiting to see you return safely, always...

Looking at the end, at his mother's halting handwriting, Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath, then carefully put the letter away.

After sitting quietly for a long time, Dai Chengfeng finally came back to himself.

"It's precisely because I have family like this that I should work even harder to become stronger!"

"Today's parting is for the sake of never parting again in the future!"

There was no more hesitation in Dai Chengfeng's eyes. Instead, he looked toward the books before him.

He first opened Blazing Light Swordplay, Star Earth Tremor, and Fierce Tiger Fist, these three soul skill books, and simply glanced over them. In an instant, realization dawned on him...

"So that's how it is!"

"No wonder I felt that the names Blazing Light Swordplay and Star Earth Tremor were somewhat familiar..."

"In the animation from my previous life, Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai each used Self-Created Soul Skills, and their effects and names were both similar to these two Self-Created Soul Skills."

"Most likely, these two books were their earliest inspiration!"

As he pondered, Dai Chengfeng had already returned Blazing Light Swordplay, Star Earth Tremor, and Fierce Tiger Fist, these three soul skills, to his Ring.

Although these three soul skills could all be considered pretty good, and they had reference value too.

But!

Dai Chengfeng knew very clearly that when a person created Self-Created Soul Skills, the more, the better was not the rule.

That would delay cultivation time!

For example, Feng Xiaotian in the Original Work clearly possessed a top-tier Beast Spirit like the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, and he also had Innate Full Soul Power, making him an absolutely peerless genius.

But in the end...

For the sake of creating Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, he delayed his own cultivation time...

As a result, during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, although the combat strength he displayed was powerful, his own Soul Power Level was completely unworthy of his Innate Full Soul Power aptitude.

From this, one could see a thing or two.

"If I truly want to create Self-Created Soul Skills, then my own soul skills must be the strongest!"

At that thought, Dai Chengfeng looked toward the "Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer" and "Great Sumeru Hammer Technique *Record" with burning eyes.

Especially the "Great Sumeru Hammer Technique *Record"...

Although he knew this book definitely was not the cultivation method for the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique, Dai Chengfeng still looked forward to it.

"Could I use the knowledge about the Great Sumeru Hammer that I learned from the Original Work?"

"Then combine it with the Great Sumeru Hammer *Record, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, and the Daoist concepts from my Previous Life to create a Self-Created Soul Skill no weaker than, or even surpassing, the Great Sumeru Hammer?"

"It's feasible!"

Thinking this, Dai Chengfeng impatiently opened the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

But after only a simple glance, his brows furrowed slightly.

In the Original Work, the force-generation technique of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was explained quite clearly.

When the heart beat rapidly, force began from the two calves, traveled upward to the thighs, passed through the waist, back, and arms, and was finally released. That was full power; using the body at the instant when the iron hammer rebounded and was about to reach its highest point...

But at this moment, Dai Chengfeng discovered something.

Although this Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer before him was complete, it was fundamentally somewhat different from the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Tang Hao taught Tang San.

There was absolutely no description regarding the heart or blood. It seemed a little crude, but the force-generation technique was more or less the same.

"Looking at it this way, this book should only be a Soul Skill my Dai Family ancestor created by referencing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer..."

"That makes sense."

"Otherwise, as a hammer technique of the Clear Sky Sect, how could it possibly have fallen into the hands of my Star Luo Empire's imperial family?"

"As for the purpose behind my ancestor creating this technique, it must have been for..."

As he said this, Dai Chengfeng looked toward the only book he had not opened: "Great Sumeru Hammer Technique *Record."

It was not strange either.

After all, the strength of the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique had been passed down since Tang Chen's generation.

Once the profound meaning of Ring Detonation was unleashed, one was invincible on land. Who would not covet that?

Unfortunately, although everyone had studied it, none of them had truly figured it out.

Among them was his ancestor.

"Phew...!"

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath. "Now let me see, Ancestor, just how far you managed to research it."

"Hiss!"

Originally, after Dai Chengfeng saw that something was off with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, he actually had not expected the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique *Record to be all that Stunning.

But the result proved him utterly wrong!

In this "Great Sumeru Hammer Technique *Record," nearly all the moves of the Great Sumeru Hammer were written in detail, along with several conjectured methods for the intake and release of Soul Power.

Even the Great Sumeru Hammer's profound meaning, Ring Detonation, was recorded in detail.

Although he was not certain whether it was accurate, its value as a reference was immense. Especially in the clearly newly added content on the final few pages, there was an extremely detailed record of how Tang Hao had used the Great Sumeru Hammer's profound meaning, Ring Detonation, in his battle against Qian Xunji back then.

It even included the approximate flow direction of the Soul Power within.

"That scout back then was truly talented. He actually used the 56,000 compound eyes of his special Dragonfly Spirit to observe it in such fine detail!"

Dai Chengfeng's eyes were filled with joy.

Although even with these records, it was still completely impossible to reproduce the Great Sumeru Hammer.

But Dai Chengfeng's Spirit was not the Clear Sky Hammer, and he did not intend to learn the Great Sumeru Hammer either.

Moreover, Dai Chengfeng had always firmly believed that if one walked another person's path, that Soul Skill could never perfectly suit oneself, and there would always be a fixed upper limit.

Therefore, Dai Chengfeng prepared to open up a "road to heaven" that belonged to him alone!

And if he only used this record as a reference, then combined it with the memories of his Previous Life to create a brand-new Soul Skill, Dai Chengfeng felt it would be more than enough!

"Since our Dai Family is an imperial family, sure enough, it's impossible for us to have no treasures at all!"

Dai Chengfeng smiled, his tone excited.
