NOVPUB"This..."
It was merely a slight change in potential value, but the transformation it brought to Su Changkong was unimaginably vast!
"This is the pattern of Great Divine Power... so profound..."
Su Changkong looked up and in this circular space, he saw those mirrors, within which he could make out faint patterns—the enigmatic ’Divine Patterns’!
Although Su Changkong still couldn’t fathom the profundity of Great Divine Power, he no longer faced the previous state of utter blindness to what it was.
It felt as though he had been standing outside a door, unable to push it open. But now, he had the ability to push it open and step inside!
It was the transformation of a common fish leaping through the Dragon Gate and turning into a dragon!
It was the metamorphosis from the mundane to the extraordinary! no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
"Extraordinary... My potential has stepped into the realm of the extraordinary! On par with those True Beasts, or even... stronger!"
Su Changkong could hardly contain the wild joy in his heart.
Previously, in the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint had spoken of the concepts of the mundane and the extraordinary.
Mundane people also have the hope of Entering Saint, but the difficulty is sky-high, as can be imagined. Just like the Heavenly Corpse Old Man who transformed himself into a zombie and lived for hundreds of years, only to finally glimpse a ray of dawn—many others fall without ever seeing that light.
And if one’s talent and potential reach the extraordinary, then through normal cultivation, one is certain to become a Martial Saint!
Just like True Beasts who, by virtue of their innate talent and bloodlines, match a Saint Warrior once they mature!
Those reincarnated Martial Saints can mostly achieve Martial Saint status mainly because the power carried in their bloodlines has the essence of Martial Arts from the Ancestors of Martial Saint. It’s like starting over with cultivation, but that doesn’t mean their potential or talent has reached the ’extraordinary’ level.
When potential surpasses the extraordinary, becoming a true Martial Saint is merely the starting point; it’s just like the process of a child growing into an adult, not particularly difficult!
The difference between a potential value of 99 and 100 is not merely one point; it’s the difference between zero and one—a binary of nothingness and existence.
"Sigh... The medicinal strength of the Immortal Holy Pill hasn’t been completely refined; there’s still room for my potential to grow." Su Changkong took a deep breath and calmed down.
The others meditating in this circular space were unaware that among them had emerged a prodigy with ’extraordinary’ potential!
As the bottleneck was broken and nourished by the Immortal Holy Pill, Su Changkong’s longevity entered a rapid growth phase!
510 years, 520 years, 530 years...
A month later, Su Changkong had entirely refined the effects of the Immortal Holy Pill, and his lifespan fixed itself at around 600 years—a full century of additional life span!
Lifespan: 600 years
Potential Value: 110 points
And now, Su Changkong’s potential value had also grown to 110 points!
"The change is too significant... Compared to before, my aptitude and comprehension are like the difference between a child and an adult, an ordinary person and a genius!"
Su Changkong mused.
"What I need to do now is to achieve a breakthrough for myself, one that must be immense, immense enough to overcome several of my current selves."
Su Changkong collected his emotions and began to ponder, as he still had two months left to overcome the challenge of the Mirror Shadow Space!
Su Changkong reviewed the Martial Skills and Techniques he had mastered; the Blade Nurturing Art, Heaven Silkworm Technique, and Guiding Technique had yet to reach the 11th realm.
The breakthrough of the Heaven Silkworm Technique required facing a crisis of death and needed an actual life-and-death crisis—self-harm was useless, which had to be left to fate.
"The Guiding Technique is more appropriate. My Guiding Technique can enhance my perception of nature’s spiritual energy. If I can break through to the 11th realm, my perception of Spiritual Energy and control over power will be more perfect. I could even overcome several of my current selves."
Su Changkong made up his mind to practice the Guiding Technique.
With limited time, he must practice the Guiding Technique to a breakthrough-ready level in two months. Originally, he was not confident, but with a potential value of 110 points and having stepped into the extraordinary realm, Su Changkong gained considerable confidence.
Su Changkong stood up and started practicing the Guiding Technique.
"Spirit Branch Technique!"
Su Changkong’s hands hung at his sides, then lifted through his chest, over his head, flipping his wrists, withdrawing his arms as though a great tree was swaying its branches and leaves.
"Tiger Arm Technique!"
Su Changkong relaxed his shoulders, moving them along with his arms.
"Is that Dao Wufeng practicing there? What kind of Martial Arts is that?"
As Su Changkong was acknowledged as the foremost below Martial Saint, his actions drew close scrutiny, and his movements caught everyone’s attention. Each person was nonplussed, as Su Changkong seemed to be practicing some kind of Martial Arts, but then again... it was far too ordinary!
"Calling it Martial Arts would be a stretch; it’s more like some Health-preserving Skills."
Some keen-eyed observers discerned that what Su Changkong was practicing wasn’t any peerless Martial Arts. Aside from the extraordinarily skilled, natural, and graceful movements, there wasn’t anything else remarkable.
Su Changkong ignored the onlookers and concentrated on refining the Guiding Technique.
With his potential surpassing the extraordinary, entering a sublime realm, Su Changkong’s practice of the Guiding Technique was extremely smooth. He could sense and rectify the insufficiencies, adapting it to better fit his physique towards perfection, growing increasingly in harmony with the Return to the original and coming closer to the beauty of Heaven and Earth Nature!
Most onlookers occasionally checked on Su Changkong’s practice but couldn’t figure out the rationale and eventually gave up. Everyone was racing against time, striving to pass the Mirror Shadow Space.
The rest were not foolish either; they also thought of ways to overcome the Mirror Shadow Space. To achieve a significant breakthrough within such short notice, one that would far surpass their former selves, was difficult enough. Let alone an immense one, so tremendous that they could face multiple adversaries? That was almost too much to ask for!
