Chapter 8: Profound Sky Seal
At this moment, even Duan Chuchen was surprised. Entry level 4? Unexpectedly, Duan Chuchen had reached level 4 of Entry. He felt as if his blood was flowing backwards and his whole body was boiling.
I am not trash, I am a genius, the most powerful genius. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, I stepped into the fourth level.
Compared to his first Foundation Establishment, Duan Chuchen was filled with shock, sadness, and humiliation. The shock was the realization that he was unable to absorb the spiritual energy in the world. The sorrow was the result of countless attempts and they had all failed without exception. However, this time, he was completely unmoved, shocked, and overjoyed.
Unlike last time, when he successfully reached Foundation Establishment and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the Foundation Establishment Array, ecstasy was his achievement. He had actually reached level 4 of the Initiation Stage.
All the warriors knew that the levels of cultivation were divided into two levels: the early stage, two levels, and the Spirit realm, five levels. The two levels of entry was the first level and the first level. After breaking through the first level, one would be able to reach the first level and the first level would also have ten levels. And after breaking through the entrance, one had to enter the 5th level of the Spirit realm.
The Spirit realm was divided into five big realms: Homo Martial, Mortal, Earth Martial, Heaven realm, and God realm. Each realm was also divided into three small realms: early, middle, and late.
The strongest Duan Family cultivator, Duan Jingtian, was an expert at the peak of Earth Martial, while Duan Chuchen's father, Duan Tianya, was an expert at Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage.
Duan Chuchen understood very well what it meant. It meant that he was countless years ahead of others on the path of cultivation, and it also proved that he had a strong talent. Duan Chuchen shouted in the deepest part of his heart once again, "I'm not a waste …"
The more Duan Jingtian looked at this grandson in front of him, the cuter he felt, so he sincerely said: "You're out of this world, a talent like you has never appeared in our Hundred Forest City before, so I hope that you don't let others know and I won't help you keep it a secret. If this gets out, you will definitely be envied."
Duan Chuchen nodded his head, and Duan Jingtian continued to say: "Now that your cultivation has reached the fourth level of the entrance, then you already have the qualifications to train in martial skills, and now I will help you go to our Duan Family's library to choose your martial skills, but you must remember one thing, martial skills are much more expensive, you must be careful when choosing martial skills, and you can pick any of the martial skills on the third floor."
"Thank you for your guidance, grandfather. I understand now." At this moment, Duan Chuchen's heart was filled with excitement because he could choose a suitable Martial Technique in the Compendium Pavilion.
In the world of warriors, martial skills were also divided into different levels: Human, Profound, Earth, Heaven, and God. Each level was also divided into three levels: Inferior, Intermediate, Superior, and Superior. Generally, Mortal Grade techniques were very common and could be used by people everywhere. Then, Xuan Grade techniques were different. Compared to the Mortal Grade techniques, they were several times more precious.
In the Baiming City, only some of the more influential families would be able to obtain Profound Rank techniques. As for the Earth Ranked Martial Technique, Duan Chuchen clearly knew that Duan Family was one of the three great forces in the Baiming City and they already had three Earth Ranked Martial Techniques. This was the reason why Duan Chuchen was so excited.
Not long later, Duan Jingtian led Duan Chuchen to the entrance of the Compendium Pavilion. At this moment, the guard at the entrance of the Compendium Pavilion saw Duan Jingtian and Duan Chuchen, and respectfully shouted: "Greetings, Patriarch, greetings, Young Master."
Duan Jingtian nodded and said lightly, "Yes, there's no need to be so polite. Go inside, I will wait for you outside. You can choose any martial skill inside."
Duan Chuchen entered the first floor of the library. The bookshelves on the first floor were densely packed and there were hundreds of different types of Mortal level martial skills, making Duan Chuchen's eyes dazzle. However, his goal was not a Mortal level martial skill, so he directly jumped over the first floor and came to the second floor.
After arriving at the second floor, Duan Chuchen discovered that there were obviously fewer martial skills there. There were only nearly a hundred types. Duan Chuchen started to flip through them one by one.
So, he chose a sword skill. After looking at it for an hour, Duan Chuchen picked up a martial skill book. His eyes lit up and he thought to himself, "This is it."
Looking at this ancient secret manual, there were several big words written on it: "Insects Awaken Swordship". After reading the introduction of "Insects Awaken Swordship", Duan Chuchen's interest was immediately piqued.
"Insects Awaken Swordship" was divided into ninety-nine moves, and when it was used, there was an unending stream of power, and the power of each move would increase by one fold. The power displayed in the ninety-ninth move was three times that of the first move.
"Insects Awaken Swordship" was a top grade Profound Rank martial skill. Duan Chuchen felt that it was very suitable for him, so he walked towards the last floor. Duan Chuchen didn't have the determination to learn low grade martial skills, but rather felt that it was suitable for him. There were only three types of Earth Ranked Martial Skills in the Duan Family, so they might not be suitable for him.
After arriving at the third floor, Duan Chuchen picked up the first martial skill: "Overlord Six Strike". Duan Chuchen decisively gave up, although it was an Earth Ranked Martial Technique but it was just a hammer technique, he used a sword, the hammer technique was clearly not suitable for him, the second skill: "Mystic Thunder Nine Slash", similarly, Duan Chuchen gave up, because this was a saber skill and it was also not suitable for him.
At this moment, Duan Chuchen came to the front of the last secret manual and placed his hope on the last martial skill. Duan Chuchen picked it up and read it. This martial skill was called the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal".
The description said: The Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal is divided into three levels. By constantly nurturing the spiritual energy within the body, one can create a storage location for the Spiritual Seal, and then form a Spiritual Seal to store in the body. When used in battle, it can increase one's combat strength by multiple folds.
At the first level, he could create nine Spiritual Seals, the second level could open up twenty-nine. If he reached the third level, he could open up ninety-nine Spiritual Seals, and if all ninety-nine Spiritual Seals were released together, his combat power would increase by more than ten times.
Of course, cultivating the Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal would also be extremely dangerous. First, one's own body had to be strong enough, and most importantly, when one used Spiritual Energy to condense the Spiritual Seal, the Spiritual Energy must be pure. If it wasn't pure enough, the Spiritual Seal would slowly begin to shatter.
And the requirement of the Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal's purity in cultivating spiritual energy had reached an abnormal degree, but Duan Chuchen still resolutely chose him.
Duan Chuchen copied the《 Heavenly Profound Seal》 and《 Insects Awaken Swordship》 and put them back into their original positions. Then, he walked out of the library with the instance dungeon.
Seeing Duan Chuchen come out, Duan Jingtian smiled and said, "How about it? What martial skill did you choose?"
"Grandfather, I've chosen these two martial skills. Take a look." As Duan Chuchen said this, he handed the two dungeons in his hands to Duan Jingtian.
Upon seeing the Insects Awaken Swordship , Duan Jingtian nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Mm, this set of sword skills is of high quality, and its moves are also very exquisite, but it is very difficult to cultivate successfully. But with your talent, if you want to learn it, I am very confident in you." "Mn, thank you grandpa for your praise." Duan Chuchen nodded.
Duan Jingtian continued to look at the second version of the 'Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal'. Once he saw it, his entire face relaxed as he frowned and said, "Mortal, do you know why you chose this martial skill? Do you know how difficult it is to cultivate it?" Duan Chuchen nodded and said, "I know it's dangerous, but I have decided. I believe I can succeed."
"Child, it's not that I don't believe you, but the true rank of this cultivation technique is not a low-rank Earth Realm at all." Duan Jingtian said.
"What!?" If he wasn't an Earth lower tier, then what level was he at? "That's right, such a powerful martial skill could not only be a low-rank Earth Realm martial skill." Duan Chuchen said.
"It is very possible that this Martial Skill has reached the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. As long as you can cultivate it successfully, you can be invincible against top Earth Ranked Martial Techniques. It is unimaginable when you reach the second and third level." Duan Jingtian explained. "Hiss ~" After hearing Duan Jingtian's explanation, Duan Chuchen gasped in surprise.
"There are only nine people in history who have successfully cultivated our Duan Family to the first stage, but do you know what happened to them after that?" Duan Jingtian asked.
Duan Chuchen shook his head and replied, "They all died from the explosion of their bodies. Although the Mysterious Sky Mantra is a very powerful martial skill, his requirements for martial artists' spiritual energy are also abnormal to the extreme. If the spiritual energy is not pure to the extreme, then even if he cultivated a spiritual seal, his body would explode and he would die sooner or later.
Duan Chuchen shook his head and said firmly, "No! Grandfather, I believe that I can successfully cultivate a Spirit Seal and it will only cause my body to explode, please believe me! "
Seeing Duan Chuchen's firm expression, Duan Jingtian knew that no matter how he tried to persuade Duan Chuchen, he wouldn't listen. He could only helplessly shake his head: "Okay, then I won't stop you, but you must be careful when you're cultivating. You must find something wrong and stop cultivating."
"I understand, thank you Grandpa!" Duan Chuchen replied excitedly.
Actually, when Duan Chuchen absorbed the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy within his body had undergone a transformation from the Purplish Red Virtual Small Sword. The spiritual energy transferred to his body was much higher than normal spiritual energy by a lot …
"Yes." In the end, the Spiritual Energy he condensed was tens of times purer than an ordinary person's Spiritual Energy. Duan Chuchen was completely confident that he could successfully cultivate the Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal.
"Alright, you should head back now. I should head back to cultivate properly." "Remember, you can just cultivate your own martial skills, but you absolutely cannot spread them to others. Do you hear me?" Duan Jingtian said.
Duan Chuchen nodded and walked back to his room. He held two Martial Skills and was filled with joy.
