Chapter 393: Dharma Artifacts (I)

"LIttle Yu, here to exchange for another technique again? Which technique do you want today? I will get it for you," Elder Xu Kuiyang said with a smile inside the Heavenly Blessing Pavilion.

"Please help me retrieve the Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber," Lin Zheyu said respectfully.

"You have been borrowing saber techniques lately. Are you planning to make the saber your main weapon?" Xu Kuiyang asked with a smile.

"Yes. The saber is the courage of all weapons and suits my fighting style best," Lin Zheyu replied with a nod.

Martial artists who cultivated the Dominance true intent most often used sabers or fist techniques. When fighting demon puppets or even yaos and demons, using fists puts one at a disadvantage, while a saber made it much easier to slay them. Before long, Xu Kuiyang retrieved the Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber from the secret chamber.

"Here. Cultivate well. You are now the number one among the younger generation of the Wuji Sect. The future of the Wuji Sect depends on you young people. But do not bite off more than you can chew. The more techniques you study, if you cannot fully digest them, it will affect your main saber technique. Remember this," Xu Kuiyang reminded him.

Over the past three months, Lin Zheyu had been coming to the Heavenly Blessing Pavilion regularly to exchange for techniques. The records showed that in just over three months, he had exchanged for thirteen different powerful saber techniques. This surprised even Xu Kuiyang.

An ordinary martial artist would need a long time to study even a single technique. Yet this youngster still had the energy to study others within three months, and not just one but thirteen powerful techniques. If it were his own disciple, Xu Kuiyang would have already scolded them. But this was Lin Zheyu, now the number one among the younger generation of the Wuji Sect, possessing monstrous martial cultivation talent. Such a genius could not be judged by common standards.

"Yes, I will remember. I am only absorbing the useful parts from different saber techniques. The rest I merely use as a reference to draw parallels," Lin Zheyu replied.

"Good, that is enough." Xu Kuiyang nodded with a smile as he watched Lin Zheyu walk away, feeling deeply moved.

"If he can master the Primordial Wuji True Technique, this boy might truly have a chance to compete for the top spot on the Hidden Dragon List. That is the top of the Hidden Dragon List. Our Wuji Sect has never produced such a genius before."

After taking the technique, Lin Zheyu stepped out of the Heavenly Blessing Pavilion. The weather was pleasant, with clear skies and a gentle breeze.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle!"

"Greetings, Martial Uncle!"

Along the way, disciples of the sect respectfully greeted Lin Zheyu, and he returned their gestures with a smile and a nod. Since joining the Wuji Sect, both his master and Elder Yang had treated him well. The disciples were also kind, without the conflicts and disputes he had once imagined. Gradually, Lin Zheyu began to regard this place as home and developed a sense of belonging.

Returning to his courtyard, Lin Zheyu began his daily cultivation. After more than four hours, he stopped, slightly out of breath.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

[Name: Lin Zheyu]

[Origin Force: 9]

[Skills: Tortoise Breath True Technique (Sixth Stage: 0%), Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art (Second Stage: 0%), Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber (First Stage: 98%), Primordial Wuji True Technique (Third Stage: 0%)]

Lin Zheyu looked at the data within his mind. After just over four hours of cultivation, he had brought the Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber close to the Perfection of the first stage. This was only the simplest portion of the technique. The difficulty would increase as he progressed. He estimated that reaching the peak of the Marrow Refining realm and comprehending the Heavenly Thunder Saber intent would take about three years in total. The Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber was one of the top saber techniques in the Wuji Sect. If other genius disciples learned of this, they would surely be stunned.

"As the number of techniques I cultivate increases, my speed in mastering a new one keeps getting faster," Lin Zheyu said with emotion.

This was mainly due to his increasingly higher martial cultivation realm. With parallels drawn across techniques, comprehension became easier. Aside from the eighteen saber true techniques exchanged from the Heavenly Blessing Pavilion, Lin Zheyu had also purchased ten fist techniques and lightness true techniques from the black market. In just over three months, he had cultivated all twenty eight true techniques to Perfection. These techniques contained true intents mainly centered around thunder fire and Yin Yang, with wind, speed, slaughter, and berserk as supplements. Combined with the true intents he had already cultivated, Lin Zheyu now possessed an astonishing total of thirty eight true intents.

This is a bit too many. My spirit and spiritual soul are being increasingly affected by all of these intents

.

Within his spirit floated thirty eight powerful true intents, all suppressed by his strong spiritual soul. Otherwise, under the influence of so many true intents, his spirit would have long suffered problems.

Once the Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber reaches Perfection, I will look for some restorative and nurturing true techniques to improve the recovery of my true strength. After that, I will begin preparing to advance to the Force Transformation realm.

Lin Zheyu made his decision.

However, to advance to the Force Transformation realm, he needed the right opportunity. Lin Zheyu realized that joining the Hidden Dragon List had been a mistake. The moment he broke through to the Force Transformation realm, he would lose eligibility and vanish from the Hidden Dragon List. Everyone would then know he had advanced. There was no way to conceal it. Therefore, he needed a reason, one that would allow him to disappear from the Hidden Dragon List openly without death.

"Troublesome... If I cannot find a reason to advance, do I really have to endure for ten years before breaking through openly?" Lin Zheyu murmured.

If that were the case, it would be a tremendous waste of time. Since cultivating the Primordial Wuji True Technique to the Perfection of the second stage and forming the Primordial Body, his physique had grown even stronger. Each time he broke a limit, he gained 5 units of Origin Force. If he endured for ten years, he could accumulate over 3,000 units of Origin Force. That was an enormous amount.

I already have the follow-up techniques. If I truly cannot find the right moment, I might as well abandon this identity. It would just be unfair to Master Huang Baizhong and Elder Yang after all their nurturing

.

The best situation would be to create a crisis that forced him into a trap, leaving him no choice but to break through to the Force Transformation realm to handle it. That way, the reason would exist. Unfortunately, at the Marrow Refining realm, Huang Baizhong and the others would not allow him to go to the western demon caves of Great Wei like Senior Brother Jiang Jun. Otherwise, that place would truly be ideal.

I will first bring the Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber to Perfection, then visit the black market tonight to see if there are any suitable nurturing true techniques

.

Leaving the sect, he arrived at a courtyard outside Wuling City. This time, he did not prepare Blazing Flame Blood Burning Powder, nor did he intend to use spirit liquid or spirit stones. His physique had nearly reached the limit of the Marrow Refining realm. Even a Grandmaster realm expert would not possess a stronger physique than his. With such a powerful physique, cultivating ordinary saber techniques provided negligible improvement. In this situation, using Origin Force required very little consumption.

Use 3 units of Origin Force to cultivate the Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber.

With the thought transmitted, Lin Zheyu's spirit wavered and entered the consciousness space, beginning endless cultivation. The Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber contained the true intents of strength, berserk, and heavenly thunder. Its Heavenly Thunder true intent was extremely terrifying and carried a trace of the natural might of heavenly lightning.

After a few breaths, Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, his expression completely relaxed. Cultivating with 3 units of Origin Force posed no pressure for him now.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

[Name: Lin Zheyu]

[Origin Force: 6]

[Skills: Tortoise Breath True Technique (Sixth Stage: 0%), Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art (Second Stage: 0%), Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber (Fourth Stage: 100%), Primordial Wuji True Technique (Third Stage: 0%)]

"The speed at which I condense true intent is getting faster. Even something as powerful as the Heavenly Thunder true intent only requires 3 units of Origin Force," muttered Lin Zheyu as he looked at the data within his consciousness.

The Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber had reached the Perfection of the fourth stage. This saber technique had five stages in total. The fifth stage required being a Force Transformation realm martial artist to cultivate. Without condensing true strength, Lin Zheyu could only cultivate up to the fourth stage. The same applied to other techniques.

Once I advance to the Force Transformation realm, I can try to fuse these cultivated techniques to create something even stronger. But with my current martial cultivation knowledge, it is not enough to create something that surpasses the Primordial Wuji True Technique. I still need to accumulate more martial cultivation knowledge,

Lin Zheyu thought.

He hid the Starfall Heavenly Thunder Saber that had reached the Perfection of the Marrow Refining realm, leaving only the three main techniques in the data panel. The hidden techniques could be displayed again whenever needed. This accumulation was to lay the foundation for future fusion and creation. Once sufficient accumulation was achieved, Lin Zheyu felt he could create an unprecedentedly powerful martial cultivation technique.

Leaving the courtyard, Lin Zheyu visited several black markets and found three decent nurturing true techniques, beginning a new round of improvement.
