Helpless, Long Xuan could only painfully replenish the Spirit Stone before returning to his small pavilion, where he finally calmed down and continued studying the Gu Recipe.

His Dragon Gu Recipe is progressing very quickly; he only needs 10% more progress to complete it.

Now that the materials have been basically collected, he needs to speed up the process of obtaining the Gu Recipe formula and try to get the Dragon Gu Recipe as quickly as possible.

Before we knew it, three months had passed.

During this period, the protracted Beast Tide finally came to an end. Countless Gu cultivators died or were injured in this battle. Whether it was the large number of Rogue Cultivator or the major Gu cultivator Lineage, they all suffered heavy losses.

However, those who survived were honed in this battle and obtained a large amount of rare materials, thus greatly increasing their strength.

Therefore, although the number of Gu cultivators in the Far Western Lands has decreased significantly, the number of experts has increased.

The Flame Clone also returned intact from the battlefield, so Long Xuan no longer needed to travel to meet him every two months. He could save the time spent traveling back and forth to study the Gu Recipe.

Persistence pays off, and three months later, he finally succeeded in developing the Dragon Gu Recipe.

Looking at the Gu Recipe the progress at 100%, he was overjoyed.

For some reason, he would get extremely excited whenever he saw this number, and he would show ecstatic joy when he saw the number 100%, no matter what the number appeared in.

He quickly wrote in the lower right corner of the title of the Gu Recipe: -- Written by Long Xuan

He put down his pen, kissed the Gu Recipe heavily, placed it like a precious treasure into a wooden box, and then put it into his Storage Bag.

This wooden box contains all his research results. No matter what he creates, he puts it in this box; it is his treasure chest for storing his intellectual achievements.

After that, he began preparing to refine the Dragon Gu, and decided to start refining it today, rather than wait any longer.

He had already prepared all the materials for the Gu Recipe; the only difference was that he needed to buy the few new materials listed earlier at the market, which wouldn't take much time.

After Long Xuan Sect's Flame Clone bought these new materials, he put a total of about four thousand materials into a large cauldron.

Then he would carefully observe the progress of the Gu refining process. If the progress did not appear, he would pour out all the materials, shuffle them, and put them back in the same order until progress appeared.

When the number [0.0%] came into his view, he smiled with joy and returned to the cozy little pavilion.

The process of refining Gu would take a considerable amount of time, and there was no use in rushing it, so he decided to do something else to pass the time.

Having suffered from a lack of speed in previous battles, he had planned to develop speed-based abilities more than once.

Now that he had some free time, he planned to use the time while waiting for the Gu to be formed to create his own Movement Method.

Movement Method are a type of physical skill that do not require the use of spiritual power to activate, and their speed limit is not as high as that of the Gu Insect.

He plans to first create a powerful Movement Method as a transition, and then study spatial teleportation ability when he becomes a top expert in the future. Those at lower levels definitely cannot perform spatial teleportation, so using physical techniques as a transition is unavoidable.

As always, either don't create anything yourself, or create something unique and outstanding that has a clear advantage over conventional Movement Method.

Ideally, he should incorporate elements from his previous life so that the Movement Method he creates will not be similar to anything in this world, thus making it unique.

Otherwise, if he painstakingly created the Movement Method only to find that Movement Method had already been created before him, wouldn't he have wasted his time, as if he were plagiarizing?

In that case, he could simply learn the Movement Method of this world, saving a lot of time. Why bother creating his own?

Only if one creates a movement Movement Method that is powerful enough to surpass Movement Method that can be learned in this world will the time invested be worthwhile, and only then will it be necessary to learn a self-created movement Movement Method.

Since he wanted to add some elements from his past life, the first thing that came to mind was the light-footed skills from martial arts novels from his previous life.

Of course, the Movement Method in this world are not the same as light-body skills. Although both Movement Method and light-body skills are fast, they are not the same thing.

There is absolutely no such thing as "lightweight kung fu" in this world, not even the word.

Long Xuan is actually leaning towards lightness skills, so it's no surprise that he's going to deviate from the norm again. Works created through such deviations will definitely not be found in this world.

Whether it's strong or not is another matter, but his masterpiece will definitely stand out among the world's Movement Method, completely different from traditional Movement Method and with a unique style.

Since he had thought of lightness skills, the first thing that came to mind was a Higher Vehicle lightness skill called "Cloud-Treading Ladder" from the Wudang Sect School.

How amazing is "Cloud-Treading Ladder"? This lightweight technique allows you to ascend to heaven on the spot by stepping on your right foot with your left and right foot with your left.

In other words, you can fly by stepping on your right foot with your left. As long as you keep stepping on your right foot, you can climb up the sky like climbing stairs, and no one will care if you break through the atmosphere.

It's incredibly difficult for humans to fly; you could say that no other Movement Method in the world could enable a human to fly.

If his idea can truly come to fruition, then his self-created Movement Method may become the only movement Movement Method in this world with the ability to fly, which can be called a miracle of this world.

In this world, Gu cultivators can only fly by riding flying mounts. It is extremely difficult to fly on their own. The ability to fly is an extremely rare ability, possessed by very few Gu cultivators. They are rarely seen in normal times, and only the Gu King are relatively more likely to be able to fly.

Therefore, being able to fly gives you a tremendous advantage in this world.

It can be said that when facing a powerful enemy, he can leave whenever he wants, and no one can catch up with him. No matter how fast the enemy is, they can't catch up to him in the sky.

And since he has sole air superiority, he will be the one attacking others, not the other way around. He must be invincible from the start.

Mastering the ability to fly early on is incredibly helpful in actual combat.

Long Xuan's eyes lit up as he thought about it, and he found the idea incredibly creative. He immediately decided that he would study this Movement Method of stepping on the right foot with the left foot, and that he would ascend to heaven on the spot by stepping on the right foot with the left foot!

I'm going to ascend to the heavens and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun! Who can stop me!

Long Xuan, filled with heroic spirit, took out a piece of paper, ready to write passionately and express his thoughts freely!

However, just as his pen was about to touch the paper, he suddenly stopped.

He frowned, deep in thought, looking completely lost. Half a day passed without him putting pen to paper, not a single word coming out.

Undoubtedly, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he's stuck on the text again, and he's stuck on the very first word.

It completely extinguished the emotions he had painstakingly built up; the passion came and went quickly, and all his previous enthusiasm was gone.

Long Xuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and all his previous enthusiasm vanished, finally calming down.

Everyone has wild ideas, and everyone daydreams. The key is what principles you use to bring your ideas to life. Anyone can think, but what's the use of just thinking without doing?

At this moment, Long Xuan was in this situation; his imagination had run wild, leaving him stuck there, looking completely bewildered.

The idea of stepping on your right foot with your left foot and ascending to heaven on the spot seems simple, but anyone who has been to school knows that forces are reciprocal.

The harder you step on your right foot, the greater the downward force your right foot will exert on you. So no matter how strong you are, even if you have the superhuman strength to lift a mountain, it is impossible to fly by stepping on your right foot with your left foot.

It's like grabbing your left shoulder with your right hand; no matter how strong you are, can you lift yourself up?

Long Xuan scratched his head, trying to figure out how to develop a footwork Movement Method where the left foot steps on the right. He racked his brains, killing countless brain cells, and his brain CPU was about to burn out.

The most direct way to achieve this idea is to remove the downward force.

But how to deflect the force became a new problem. He thought of Tai Chi from his previous life, which could deflect force, but he only knew the basics of Tai Chi, so it seemed that it wouldn't work.

He then thought of the lever principle: the downward force is very light, but the other end can generate a large upward force. But he didn't have a lever that long. Would a bent lever work? It seemed like there was no fulcrum.

Long Xuan's brain was about to explode.

Left with no other choice, he sent out numerous clones to steal martial arts techniques from all over the Origin Realm, and the development of martial arts in this world far surpassed that of his previous life.

What was theoretically impossible in his previous life might be possible in this world where martial arts flourish; he could find a solution in this world.

Perhaps the principles of some kind of spiritual art in this world can bring his wild ideas to life.

He intended to draw heavily on the principles of other spiritual arts; one can learn from others' experiences, and perhaps he could find a suitable principle for one of these arts.

Finally, a month later, Long Xuan looked at a book called "The Force-Dispersing Art" placed on the table and revealed a smug smile.

This book, "The Force-Dispersing Art," is a physical technique possessed by Old Long, and is considered one of the strongest unique physical techniques of the Long Family.

Old Long inadvertently took out this body technique and placed it on the table, where it was secretly learned by Wood Clone who was guarding Old Long's Medicine Garden.

Sigh! How could he be so careless? He's so negligent, haha...

Long Xuan let out a smug, wicked laugh.

This physical technique called "The Art of Force-Dispersing Art" is very powerful, and its theories can be applied to his self-created Movement Method, which can be considered a great help to him.

As the name suggests, the function of "Force-Dispersing Art" is naturally to reduce or eliminate physical force.

His Movement Method of ascending to heaven by stepping on his right foot with his left foot could only be achieved by dissipating the force. Just as he was looking for a way to dissipate the force, a perfect opportunity presented itself.

Long Xuan quickly picked up the book "The Force-Dispersing Art," kissed it heavily, and then eagerly began to read it, becoming completely engrossed in it.

"Force-Dispersing Art" is a defensive martial art that neutralizes the force of an opponent's blows.

When the "Force-Dispersing Art" is mastered to a minor level, it can neutralize 30% of the force; when mastered to a major level, it can neutralize 100% of the force.

What does it mean to use your full strength? It means you will be immune to all physical attacks, and even if the enemy has the power to shake a mountain, they won't be able to hurt a hair on your head.

This is absolutely outrageous and inhumane!

The Long Family truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful clan known for its physical strength. They actually managed to develop such an incredible physical Lineage. Amazing!

It's incredibly careless of Old Long to use such amazing physical skills so casually.

Long Xuan was overjoyed.

Although this is a defensive martial art rather than a movement Movement Method, we can learn from each other; even different types of martial arts can be mutually beneficial.

However, the "Force-Dispersing Art" relieves the external force generated by external attacks, not the interaction force created by oneself. It is definitely not possible to copy it completely; he still needs to make a lot of modifications.

However, the difficulty for Long Xuan lies in the beginning. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once he knows how to start, the rest will be easier.

Give him a little hint and he'll be able to figure out the complete Movement Method.

And so, inspired, Long Xuan wrote with divine inspiration, his thoughts flowing like a spring, his pen moving at lightning speed, and soon line after line of text appeared on the paper from nothing.

And as time went by, the number of lines increased, the text increased, and soon the entire page was filled with text, so he started a new one...

A year later, Long Xuan bound the scattered papers into a book, and a new book, which was not yet named, was placed on his stone table.

Looking at this new, untitled book, Long Xuan's breathing quickened; he was incredibly excited.

At this moment, he was in high spirits and truly felt that he was incredibly great, having actually managed to research and develop such an awesome Movement Method.

He is a great man in this world. His achievements in Movement Method are unprecedented and unparalleled, worthy of being recorded in the annals of this world.

Just how amazing is this Movement Method he created?

First, his Movement Method can dissipate the interaction force, allowing the human body to climb infinitely into the sky by stepping on the right foot with the left foot and the left foot with the right foot.

Moreover, the most important aspect of Movement Method is speed; just how fast can he go?

Long Xuan can displace his own gravity, making him as light as a feather; how could his speed not be incredible?

He can also eliminate resistance that hinders his speed, such as friction from the air; how could his speed not be fast?

Don't underestimate the impact of air resistance on speed.

When you walk slowly, air resistance has no effect. But when you go at your maximum speed, you'll understand just how terrifying air resistance really is.

The friction between a falling meteorite and the air can generate flames, and the friction between a rocket and the atmosphere during launch can melt its metal outer shell.

This is just the speed of a rocket; there are far more living beings in this world whose speeds far exceed those of a rocket.

Putting aside the immense air resistance that such a speed would generate, the friction alone would be enough to set you on fire.

Moreover, this world's space contains not only air, but also various types of spiritual energy, making the resistance even greater.

Long Xuan's Movement Method not only ignores the friction of the air, but also the law of conservation of force. The force he dissipates cannot simply disappear into thin air, so where does all the force he dissipates go?

Long Xuan could completely convert all this power into forward propulsion, further increasing his speed.

With all the acceleration, how fast can he go?

Long Xuan didn't know, and dared not imagine.

He doesn't have Body Refining Cultivation Method yet, and his lack of strength will directly affect his speed.

Therefore, Long Xuan had no idea how fast he could go in the future, but every time he thought about it, he felt like he was about to catch fire.

He established five levels for his Movement Method.

The first level is the ability to scale walls and rooftops.

Its body is so light that it can fly swiftly across rooftops and cliffs.

The second level Water-Walking.

The body can be so light that it can walk on water, like a dragonfly skimming the surface.

The third level is flying over grass.

Its body is so light that it can run swiftly on the tips of grass without breaking a single blade of grass.

The fourth level is leaving no trace in the snow.

The body can be so light that it can run on the snow without leaving a single trace.

The fifth level is to handle heavy tasks with ease.

You can run on the water while holding a large vat filled with water.

What is true lightness skill? This is what true lightness skill is. It not only makes oneself light, but also makes one lighter than external objects, yet one can still crush Mount Tai.

When Movement Method reaches this level, it signifies that the Movement Method has been perfected, and a ruthless figure will appear in the Gu World, carrying a large vat and running across the lake...

Reaching the fifth level of cultivation is extremely difficult; there are probably very few people in the world who can achieve it.

The Movement Method created by Long Xuan is extremely difficult, requiring exceptional comprehension and is not something just anyone can master.

Thus, Long Xuan successfully created the concept of light-footed movement Movement Method.

The light-footed skills from martial arts novels will shine brightly in this world, stirring up a storm and shocking countless people.

Now that the Movement Method is complete, it's time to give Movement Method a grand and impressive name.

Long Xuan frowned and pondered for a moment. How about calling it "Ascension"? But the word just felt a bit strange, like something was off.

After much deliberation, Long Xuan decided to name it "Starstep." It could even tread on the stars in the heavens; the name was powerful and classy.

He wrote the words "Starstep" on the blank book cover, and then added below it, "Written by Long Xuan"

With this, Long Xuan's latest masterpiece, which has become world-renowned, was finally completed.

He gently blew on the writing, then placed it in the small box with satisfaction.

Next, he needs to urge all his clones to make the most of their time for cultivation; he will supervise them.

With his five clones cultivating simultaneously and receiving the results of their cultivation at the same time, enjoying five times the cultivation speed, he should be able to master "Starstep" in no time.

He will then possess top-notch speed, which will not only not be a weakness but will become his strength.

Almost no one in the same realm could match his speed; he was confident in the Movement Method he had created.

His "Starstep" is definitely among the best in the world, and there are very few Movement Method that can compare with it.

I dare not speak presumptuously about other places, but in the Far West, his "Starstep" deserves the title of the number one Movement Method in the Far West.

Once he masters the Starstep Technique, his personal safety will improve dramatically. He will be able to attack or defend effectively, and no one in the same realm will be able to match his speed.

Before he knew it, a year had passed. Long Xuan couldn't help but sigh at how fast time had flown by. He never expected that creating his own Movement Method would take him so long. However, this was enough to show the complexity of "Starstep".

Suddenly realizing that he hadn't checked on the progress of the Dragon Gu's refining for a long time, he was startled and hurriedly ran towards the large cauldron.

He was so engrossed in studying "Starstep" that he forgot about time and even forgot about refining the Dragon Gu. He didn't know if his clone was keeping an eye on things for him.

Speaking of the Dragon Gu, it seems to be quite complex; the refining time is really long, it's already been a year.

When he ran to the cauldron, he found that the progress displayed above the cauldron was [100%], which meant that the Dragon Gu had been completed.

He was overjoyed; it seemed he had arrived just in time and was not late.

This Dragon Gu must have only recently formed, otherwise it would have escaped long ago and wouldn't have stayed inside so obediently.

It was truly a case of timing being better than arriving early. Overjoyed, Long Xuan lifted the lid of the cauldron, and a small green dragon immediately appeared in his sight.

The little dragon was curled up in the center of the cauldron, fast asleep, and looked rather cute.

This Dragon Gu couldn't be described as resembling a dragon; it looked exactly like the Azure Dragon from my previous life, its entire body a vibrant green.

Its antlers resemble those of a deer, its head a camel's, its eyes a rabbit's, its neck a snake's, its belly a clam's, its scales a fish's, its claws an eagle's, its paws a tiger's, and its ears a cow's.

Each part resembles an animal, a living, breathing Eastern Divine Dragon.

The only difference is their body shape.

The Azure Dragon was enormous, but the one inside the cauldron was a miniature Azure Dragon, shrunk by countless times.

It is an insect after all, and insects are characterized by their small size, so its size is understandable.

However, looking at the tiny creature inside the cauldron, no thicker than an arm, he fell into deep thought.

Can this be ridden? I was promised a mighty and imposing mount, but here comes this tiny thing? Can it even be ridden? Will I ride it, or will it ride me? Long Xuan fell into deep thought.

Are we going to raise another little monster? It seems to sleep just as much as Little White, except it has four extra legs—just like Little White Little White.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Long Xuan bit his finger and dripped blood onto its forehead. While it slept, he established a blood pact with it, and in an instant, Long Xuan knew what its abilities were.

His eyes began to shine brighter and brighter.

It has to be said that every Gu Insect he created is incredibly powerful; he even managed to refine another supreme-grade Gu worm that carries a domain.

This realm is no ordinary place; it's called the Teleportation Domain.

The name itself makes it perfectly clear: within a given area, it can instantly appear at any location.

Note that the key word is teleportation. Teleportation has no speed; it appears instantly. Such an ability is simply impossible to defend against, and there is absolutely no way to prevent it.

Putting aside the basic abilities of the Dragon Gu and its physical strength, its teleportation ability alone is enough to place it among the supreme-grade Gu worm.

In martial arts, speed is the ultimate weapon; if you can reach the pinnacle of speed, you will be the best in the world.

No one can move faster than teleportation. It doesn't need any other abilities; it has one trick up its sleeve and can become invincible with just this one move.

If I had had a Dragon Gu when I went hunting in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, would that Fragile Misfortune Gu have dared to act so arrogantly in front of me? A single teleportation from the Dragon Gu would have been enough to kill that fragile creature instantly.

The Dragon Gu's abilities are a perfect counter to those fragile, supreme-grade Gu worm.

Long Xuan was extremely satisfied with his teleportation ability, to the point of being utterly satisfied, but he soon became depressed again.

He had just created a movement Movement Method that was the fastest in the world, and then a Gu Insect that was even faster than him appeared. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to undermine him?

However, considering that the Dragon Gu's teleportation range was only within its domain, and that the domain could move slowly but couldn't teleport with the Dragon Gu, Starstep Long Xuan finally felt relieved.

"Since you're all green, I'll name you Little Green! I hope one day you'll grow up enough to be ridden."

Long Xuan was still preoccupied with the matter of his mount, wondering how big the Dragon Gu could grow at full growth rate, and whether it could reach the exact size of Divine Dragon.

He picked up the coiled Dragon Gu from the cauldron and held it in his arms, gently stroking its green skin and its tiny dragon horns, unable to put it down.

With this, Long Xuan's third supreme-grade Gu worm was successfully obtained. Including the Cockroach Gu, he now had four Gu Insect in his body.

With three supreme-grade Gu worm in hand, plus a Cockroach Gu, Long Xuan was confident that he could not fear anyone of the same level in this region. Even if his opponent was the number one genius of a major clan, they would not be able to pose the slightest threat to him.

If he were to encounter a Gu cultivator whose cultivation level was far superior to his own, he could certainly use the "Starstep" to escape.

Starstep is simply too fast, and coupled with his ability to fly, it's hard to say whether Spiritual Sea Stage Gu cultivator could catch up with him.

After this period of seclusion, Long Xuan's strength increased dramatically, and his combat power underwent a tremendous change, increasing several times over.

Now he was finally able to leave the starting village and venture out to adventure freely.

With his current resources, there are few dangers that could put him in a perilous situation.
