Chapter 491: Chapter 201: Technique Creation! A Trade
Chishui City wasn’t a large city. Of its inhabitants, only a few thousand had truly embarked on the path of cultivation.
Most of them were still struggling to refine nature’s spiritual energy, with many having not even succeeded in Refining Form.
Cultivators who could condense a Spiritual Aspect and step into the Spiritual Image Realm were even rarer. Including Chiyun Immortal, there were no more than a dozen such individuals.
Moreover, these people often possessed a Secret Technique or a Secret Treasure to suppress their aura and avoid detection.
Although Su Bai was severely injured, his Cultivation was still formidable. He had reached the peak of the Spirit Immortal Realm, roughly equivalent to this world’s Realm of Manifested Saints.
Therefore, he had his own understanding of the path of cultivation.
’Perhaps I can also cultivate this world’s Martial Dao. Using a dual-system approach might take my Cultivation and foundation to the next level.’
SLAP!
Closing the documents he had been examining, Su Bai’s expression shifted slightly as the thought crossed his mind.
This world’s Cultivation Method was clearly more complete and powerful than the Cultivation System of the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.
However, Su Bai had already cultivated to the Ninth Level of the Spirit Immortal Realm and naturally had no intention of starting over with this world’s system.
’Still, if I cultivate this world’s system as well, the clash between the two might lead to some unexpected gains,’ he mused.
At the very least, it would strengthen his foundation and reserves.
’Besides, the cultivation path of this world can also be advanced and broken through using Experience Points.’
’It won’t require much effort on my part.’
’The Twelve Dragon Fist emphasizes intent over form. Once Refining Form is complete, one can master both its form and its spirit. A single punch will be accompanied by the forms of twelve dragons, its power truly impressive...’
In the courtyard, Ye Yangfeng retracted his fist and stood straight.
He was murmuring inwardly, explaining the mysteries of this Fist Technique to Su Bai.
After finishing, he looked up and met Su Bai’s gaze.
He was instantly startled.
If he hadn’t lost his tongue, he would have cried out.
’What a sharp gaze!’
Ye Yangfeng was filled with awe.
He felt as if, under Su Bai’s stare, all his secrets were being laid bare.
’This Fist Technique...’
Before he could even fully form the thought, Su Bai’s voice cut in:
"It’s terrible."
’Ter... terrible!?’
Ye Yangfeng’s eyelid twitched as he retorted inwardly,
’The Twelve Dragon Fist of Dinghai City is considered a top-tier Refining Form Boxing Skill in the Celestial Martial Country of the Martial Realm. It’s only slightly inferior to the legacies of the great families and Major Sects.’
’How can it be terrible?’
"Then that just means the Martial Dao of the Celestial Martial Country is also quite average."
Su Bai shook his head slightly.
By now, the number of Fist Dao Techniques and Divine Techniques he had cultivated was simply beyond count.
He could tell the quality of a Fist Technique with a single glance.
A doubtful expression crossed Ye Yangfeng’s face as he asked,
"Then, Senior, could you please explain why it is terrible?"
"Your Twelve Dragon Fist learns the intent of a dragon and refines the form of a dragon. Unfortunately, its foundation is wrong. A dragon on paper is not a True Dragon, after all."
"Even a Flood Dragon is not a True Dragon."
"The Fist Intent you cultivate—is it the intent of a paper dragon, or a Flood Dragon?"
Su Bai said nonchalantly.
’A paper dragon? Or a Flood Dragon?’
Ye Yangfeng’s breathing calmed, and he felt there was some truth to what Su Bai was saying.
But a moment later, he felt something was off. "The Twelve Dragon Fist itself was created by a great master who based its intent on a True Dragon."
"Once mastered and cultivated to a high Realm, one should be able to comprehend the very Fist Intent that the great master grasped back then."
"But ultimately, that is not *your* Fist Intent."
Su Bai didn’t elaborate. He put down his scroll, slowly stood up, and stretched his limbs.
Then, he spoke in a relaxed manner, "Watching you practice your Dragon Fist, I just created a Snake Fist. Why don’t you take a look..."
’He created his own Snake Fist?’
Ye Yangfeng grew even more suspicious and astonished.
’Creating a Fist Technique is hardly that easy, is it?’
’Besides, I’ve only been practicing for ten minutes at most.’
’How could someone create a Fist Technique in such a short time?’
But the next moment, the doubt in his eyes vanished completely.
HISS!
A low hiss echoed, sounding like an arm cutting through the air, but also like a giant serpent flicking its tongue at him.
BOOM!
A tremor ran through Ye Yangfeng’s heart!
In a daze, he seemed to see an incomparably savage giant serpent, its body dancing in the air, its tail coiled.
With a flick of its tail, it could shatter mountains and seas!
Utterly ferocious, utterly terrifying!
This intent was too intense, too real.
Ye Yangfeng subconsciously took a step back, his scalp tingling with fear.
Su Bai lowered his arm.
"This... this..."
Ye Yangfeng stared blankly at Su Bai, at a total loss for words.
He had become completely incoherent.
Although his Martial Dao was crippled, he had once been a young expert of the Spiritual Image Realm. His judgment was still sharp.
The Fist Technique Su Bai had just created was simply beyond his imagination and comprehension.
’To think such a Cultivation Technique exists in this world...’
"Do you believe me now?"
Su Bai moved his slightly stiff limbs.
His body was simply too weak now; even that small movement was almost too much for it to bear.
That single finger strike from back then had been too terrifying. The attacker’s strength had likely reached this world’s Divine Venerate Realm, and it had nearly crushed all the Vitality in his body.
If he hadn’t placed a drop of his own blood in the Purification Tripod while on the Ghost Ship, he would have truly perished.
Therefore, his current physical condition was absolutely abysmal.
It wouldn’t be easy to recover.
Ye Yangfeng was still in a daze.
Were it not for the fact that the Su Bai before him had not the slightest aura of having practiced the Martial Dao, appearing just like a mortal...
