Chapter 804: Testing and Refinement
Back at the mansion, Chen Chuan changed into casual attire and returned to the training room, picking up the book he had been reading earlier.
The book contained the mental imprints of his predecessors, and although the figures were merely outlined with ink, they accurately conveyed the intended meaning.
After finishing the book, he closed the pages, closed his eyes, and allowed the information to settle in his mind.
Currently, his physical transformation was incomplete, and he couldn't practice the Vast Sky Style yet. However, the Great Bright Light Style primarily focused on spiritual cultivation, so he could attempt to practice it first.
Additionally, there was the Heaven and Earth Kiln Breathing Method, an advanced technique corresponding to the two major fighting styles. He would need to use it during practice as well.
At this moment, he began to recall the Great Bright Light Style from his memory.
The Great Bright Light Style also consisted of twelve forms, each named after the ancient celestial phenomena known as the "Twelve Branches."
After reviewing it in his mind, he stepped into the center of the training area and demonstrated the first form.
On the surface, it appeared similar to a posture, but in reality, it involved using spiritual power to drive the body, emphasizing the spirit as the primary force while the body followed. In contrast, the Vast Sky Style focused on the body as the primary force, reversing the process to lead the spirit. The true essence of these styles lay in the unification of body and spirit during cultivation.
However, due to the high difficulty and unfamiliarity, he needed to practice them separately at first. Therefore, practicing one of the styles was a suitable approach.
As he assumed the stance, he began to activate the Heaven and Earth Kiln Breathing Method.
Later, when chatting with Mr. Zuan, he learned that Zhao Zhenye probably hadn't obtained this breathing technique. Zhao only possessed the third-tier version of the Kiln Breathing Method, so the technique he currently used was likely self-derived based on the original Kiln Breathing Method.
However, fourth-tier fighters had their own paths. Once he mastered these techniques, he would undoubtedly further innovate and adapt them to suit himself in the future.
As he activated his spiritual power and the breathing technique, he immediately felt a slight swelling on his forehead, along with a burning sensation in his mind. Simultaneously, his spirit became incredibly active and elevated, while his energy was continuously and significantly depleted. But at the same time, his spirit became exceptionally vibrant and elevated.
This seemed to stimulate the spiritual flame within him, causing it to radiate outward. For a moment, platinum light overflowed and flickered around his body, illuminating the entire training area.
However, due to his initial unfamiliarity, his spirit struggled to stabilize. As a result, the light flickered and swayed uncontrollably.
The Great Bright Light Style consisted of static and dynamic forms. One should first practice the static forms, and once accustomed, proceed to the dynamic forms. But at this moment, just maintaining this posture was already depleting his spiritual and physical energy. Undoubtedly, once he started moving, the consumption would become more severe.
This depletion was entirely based on his personal situation and not because he had a deep foundation, resulting in less consumption. Almost everyone faced similar challenges. However, he believed this was beneficial, as it served the purpose of tempering.
After holding the first form for over an hour, he rarely felt a sense of spiritual exhaustion.
According to the information conveyed, whether it was the Vast Sky Style, the Great Bright Light Style, or the Kiln Breathing Method, all required the absorption of a large amount of high-energy nutrients during cultivation, along with corresponding supplements.
He would have to figure out how to obtain these himself.
Although he didn't have these items at hand, he was merely testing it today and had his own means of replenishment.
He walked to the side, drew the Snow Lady Sword, and with a single stroke, he created a long, narrow rift. Instantly, dazzling light shone from within.
He knelt in front of the rift and began to try absorbing energy from the other side.
The Kiln Breathing Method, combined with the Great Bright Light Style, had an excellent training effect. However, if one solely sought to nourish the spirit, it might be somewhat lacking. From his personal experience, he felt that the Tai Bai Jing Guan method of absorbing external energy was the most suitable.
As he continued to activate the technique, the spiritual energy he had consumed gradually recovered.
Hmm?
At that moment, he seemed to sense something.
Absorbing energy from the outside could bring in impurities, which had a strong tendency to contaminate. Usually, he endured it with his second self.
Since his second self was still in the process of gradual recovery, the time he could spend absorbing energy wouldn't be too long. But now, after trying it out, he discovered that his second self had moved closer to his true self.
He hadn't fought anyone in the past few days, so this situation... Could it be that the Great Bright Light Style had deepened the resonance between his second self and his true self? Considering the level of consumption earlier, coupled with the intense concentration of his spirit, it was no less challenging than fighting a strong opponent. Even after a regular fight, one might not achieve such an effect, which explained this response.
This gave him an additional reason to practice these secrets.
But...
He looked at the floor beneath his feet. The area where he had been standing moments ago had collapsed and shattered, extending several meters outward, turning into a pile of rubble.
The floor was specially designed, but when the spiritual flame was released outward, it naturally caused damage. In fact, if he hadn't consciously restrained it, even the floorboards might have been pierced through during his earlier demonstration.
It seems like it's time to change locations.
However, due to the lack of cultivation resources, today's practice can only go so far.
As for the source of his cultivation resources, he will have to make a request to the Municipal Parliament first. Since they have agreed to take responsibility for his cultivation, they should honor their commitment.
It's easy to find the necessary resources for initial cultivation, but as he delves deeper, some extremely rare resources will be required, which means seeking alternative sources.
As he pondered, he reactivated the Border Token that he had turned off during his previous cultivation. After a while, a signal appeared, and seeing that the contact was Secretary Qiao Yang, he accepted the call.
After connecting, Secretary Qiao Yang greeted him and informed him that the Defense Department and the Government Hall had received his previous message about going out to sea and had no objections. This time, the Distant Sea Exploration Group would arrange for an airship to pick him up, and he could depart as early as tomorrow morning, with the specific time left to his discretion.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment. Since this matter could potentially change, it needed to be resolved quickly, so he informed them that tomorrow morning would be fine.
Secretary Qiao Yang immediately began making the arrangements.
With the timing settled, Chen Chuan did not continue his cultivation. Instead, he resumed his preparations for the journey, and this time, he would still bring Chao Ming. As for the Snow Lady Sword, he decided to bring it along, as the Altered Organization within needed to undergo transformation again, and it would be best to keep it close.
He also packed some items he had used on his previous trip to the Fusion Land, mainly because they were of little significance to him and might prove useful.
The only thing he felt a bit regretful about was that this trip was just a friendly exchange, and he wouldn't be able to obtain any collectibles.
