Six hours later.
Yi Yang opened his eyes in his room, his gaze settling on the panel only he could see.
[Heart Prison, Body Incineration · Beginner (0/20000)] [Heart Mirror, Shattering Shadow · Beginner (0/20000)] [Heartfire Raging Across the Plains · Beginner (0/20000)]
It had taken some time, but he had finally succeeded.
As Yi Yang looked at the three new lines on the panel, the stone that had been hanging over his heart finally dropped.
He had just attempted to circulate the "Heart Ape Mind Guarding Art: Moving Image Chapter." This cultivation art was even more obscure and difficult to understand than he had imagined. Every full cycle of his divine sense was an immense struggle. Completing thirty-six cycles for the three techniques had been an arduous journey.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Mandate panel had come through in the end, and Yi Yang's divine sense was strong enough. Over six hours, he had forcibly recorded this cultivation art that even Jiang Zhongtian had been unable to sink his teeth into.
During the process, Yi Yang had realized why this art was so difficult to cultivate. It required not only exceptional comprehension, but also a deep foundation in divine sense. The Still Image Chapter was precisely what laid the foundation for the Dynamic Image Chapter.
Only by comprehending the cultivation principles in the Still Image Chapter and establishing a solid foundation could one truly begin cultivating the three techniques that represented the Dynamic Image Chapter. This was also why Jiang Zhongtian had failed to cultivate them, despite his divine sense already approaching perfection in the Illusion-Breaking realm.
But before Yi Yang could celebrate for long, his brow furrowed again at the twenty thousand points of progress required to reach the beginner stage.
Twenty thousand points just to get started.
