Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

His cultivation level was too low, at the Bone Tempering Realm. Despite his proficiency in the Starry Night Sword and Soul Chasing Step, Chen Fei could sense that he was still unable to unleash the full power of these two techniques.

When one’s cultivation level is too low, certain aspects of cultivation techniques cannot be fully utilized. At the very least, reaching the Marrow Tempering realm is necessary to fully exhibit the potential of these two techniques.

Given this circumstance, there was no urgent need to learn new sword or movement techniques. Instead, Chen Fei could allocate more time to other areas, such as inner strength cultivation and archery.

“Your cultivation is impressive!” Feng Xiupu’s face was beaming with a smile that he barely managed to contain. If he didn’t restrain himself, he might burst out laughing.

Initially, Feng Xiupu had assumed that Chen Fei’s compatibility was limited to the Origin Connection Technique. However, it seemed that Chen Fei’s comprehension ability was remarkably high, surpassing even some core disciples.

If this trend continued, as long as Chen Fei reached the fifth stage of the Origin Connection Technique, even with mediocre Innate Ability, it would be natural for him to advance to the Visceral Tempering Realm. Although the progress might be a bit slow, and Chen Fei would be older by then, with his exceptional comprehension, his chances of competing for the legacy of a true disciple might surpass those of Guo Linshan.

The prospect of having two core disciples among his students filled Feng Xiupu with joy. How could he not be happy about it?

“However, you must not become complacent, especially in regards to your inner strength cultivation. You must strive to catch up!” Despite being highly satisfied with Chen Fei’s progress, Feng Xiupu cautioned him, “Also, keep your rapid comprehension of the cultivation technique a secret for now. Your current cultivation level is still too low.”

Geniuses often attracted envy, and Chen Fei’s cultivation was not yet at a level where he could fend off potential schemes from various sources. It would be better to cultivate quietly and bide his time until the day when his abilities could truly shine.

“I understand!” Chen Fei nodded in acknowledgment.

“How is your progress in the Origin Connection Technique?” Feng Xiupu inquired with curiosity. Guo Linshan also looked on, remembering that Chen Fei had mentioned ten days previously.

Though the timeline seemed exaggerated, their anticipation was evident.

“I’m just a little short. I should be able to cultivate it fully tomorrow,” Chen Fei replied in a hushed tone.

Although they had anticipated this, Guo Linshan couldn’t help widening his eyes upon hearing Chen Fei’s response. It felt as though tears were welling up at the corners of his eyes. Chen Fei’s progress was simply astonishing.

What had happened to all his years of hard work?

Feng Xiupu, too, was taken aback. Chen Fei’s talent in the Origin Connection Technique was truly extraordinary, far surpassing the sword and movement techniques he had displayed earlier.

“In that case, come find me tomorrow evening. I will teach you the third level of the Origin Connection Technique. It’s getting late now, so rest up,” Feng Xiupu instructed in a deep voice.

“Yes, Master!” Chen Fei respectfully cupped his hands as he watched Feng Xiupu depart.

Guo Linshan approached and sat beside Chen Fei. With a smile, he asked, “Master is going to teach you the third level of the Origin Connection Technique?”

“Yes, I am grateful to Master,” Chen Fei replied, genuinely appreciative. Since becoming his disciple, Feng Xiupu had treated him well, patiently answering his questions and guiding him through his cultivation technique.

Encountering such a master, Chen Fei felt incredibly fortunate.

Guo Linshan’s smile widened upon hearing Chen Fei’s gratitude. His eyes revealed a touch of nostalgia. If his master hadn’t experienced that incident back then, where would he be now?

Perplexed, Chen Fei looked at Guo Linshan, wondering what he wanted to say.

“You should know that once you reach the peak of the fifth level of the Origin Connection Technique, breaking through to the Visceral Tempering Realm will be a breeze,” Guo Linshan changed the topic.

“Yes, my fellow disciples have mentioned it,” Chen Fei nodded. As the name suggested, the Origin Connection Technique facilitated smooth advancement to the Visceral Realm by channeling force throughout the body.

With this cultivation technique, as long as one had sufficient comprehension and diligence, achieving the Visceral Tempering realm within the Primordial Sword Sect was highly likely.

The Primordial Sword Sect had established a firm position in Immortal Cloud City largely due to this cultivation technique, attracting numerous disciples.

“In truth, once you cultivate the Origin Connection Technique to the fourth level, you can greatly accelerate your progress toward the Marrow Tempering realm,” Guo Linshan whispered.

Chen Fei’s eyes lit up. Was there such a benefit? He had always assumed that the Origin Connection Technique merely eased the difficulty of breaking through cultivation barriers.

Based on Chen Fei’s estimation, reaching the Marrow Tempering realm would require at least a year of inner strength accumulation. Even if he perfected the Origin Connection Technique, it might slightly shorten the time, but it would still take around a year.

His pace was by no means slow, considering he had only recently begun cultivating.

Yet, in this dangerous world, Chen Fei couldn’t help but desire to expedite his realm advancement and enhance his sense of security.

Observing Chen Fei’s expression, Guo Linshan couldn’t help but smile as he continued, “Very few disciples are aware of this, as they have already reached the Marrow Tempering stage by cultivating the Origin Connection Technique to the fourth level. You are the exception..”
