Martial Artists entering sainthood generally create Strange Phenomena of Heaven and Earth, which also relate to the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Martial Artist.
If the Martial Artist practices an orthodox technique from Xuanmen, the phenomenon will lean towards auspiciousness, manifesting as an entirely auspicious sight. However, if the Martial Artist belongs to the Demon Path and practices a Demonic Technique, the phenomenon will present a vision of apocalyptic destruction.
Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique is essentially a Biomimetic Qi Skill, which is quite moderate and peaceful, thus the phenomenon accompanying his entry into sainthood is a sight of good omens!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The Divine Seed born within Su Changkong’s body emitted a force nourishing his flesh, making Su Changkong’s body rapidly undergo metamorphosis, officially transforming into the body of a Martial Saint.
The sensation of this transformation was marvelous, as if it occurred at the very essence of life, transforming from the body of the ordinary to a higher form of existence. With the power of flight and earth evasion, all these feats could now be accomplished with his own power!
Inside Su Changkong’s Dantian, a large quantity of Mysterious Turtle True Essence underwent constant purification and compression, gradually transforming into a Pill the size of a thumbtip. This Pill was light blue and as magnificent as a Crystal Stone; it appeared small but contained an astonishing amount of energy, akin to an endless abyss, inexhaustible and unfathomable. The quality of the True Yuan within it far surpassed that of the past!
"Golden Core...Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core! This is the Divine Skill cultivated from my Turtle Breath Technique!"
Su Changkong’s eyes shone brightly. He originally intended to compress the Mysterious Turtle True Essence that had reached the limit of what his Dantian could bear into something resembling a Pill. The Unparalleled Techniques of the Golden Core Path he had acquired were merely icing on the cake, allowing him to successfully transform the Mysterious Turtle True Essence into a Golden Core, which Su Changkong called the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core.
Not only that, but within Su Changkong’s physical body, in the depths of his heart, a light blue Divine Seed had emerged, continuously nourishing his flesh.
Whoosh!
At the moment of breakthrough, Su Changkong seemed to receive a gift from the world itself, as the Spiritual Energy from hundreds to nearly a thousand miles around surged, ceaselessly flowing into Su Changkong’s Mysterious Turtle Divine Seed.
Originally quite immature, the Mysterious Turtle Divine Seed robustly grew upon absorbing this massive amount of nature’s spiritual energy. On the surface of the Divine Seed, a ring of silver-blue patterns emerged.
"Is this... a Divine Pattern?"
Su Changkong immediately realized that the new pattern on his Mysterious Turtle Divine Seed was a Divine Pattern.
The first stage of entering sainthood, the Triple Layer Heaven of the Divine Seed, involves cultivating Divine Skills and condensing the Divine Seed. As the Divine Seed grows, patterns will emerge on it, with the number of Divine Patterns increasing until the limit is reached, allowing them to be engraved into the flesh, forging a Divine Body.
The more Divine Patterns present, the more powerful they are!
Typically, after becoming a saint, the number of Divine Patterns on a Divine Seed would only consist of one, but Su Changkong was different!
"A second Divine Pattern has been born?"
Su Changkong saw his Mysterious Turtle Divine Seed absorbing Spiritual Energy tirelessly, and soon a second silver-blue Divine Pattern emerged on its surface, also nourishing his body.
Then came the third and fourth...
"Could it be... that this is because I cultivated to become a Martial Saint on my own?"
Su Changkong guessed in his heart that if one were to achieve sainthood through cultivating someone else’s Divine Seed, the Divine Seed would only produce one Divine Pattern.
Su Changkong was different; not only did he achieve sainthood through his own cultivation, he did not follow the path of others’ Unparalleled Techniques. The Divine Skills and Divine Seed he cultivated were a perfect fit for himself. Thus, at the moment of breakthrough, not just one Divine Pattern emerged – it was a manifestation of solid foundations and accumulated strength being unleashed!
Eight, nine, ten!
With time passing by, ten silver-blue Divine Patterns appeared on Su Changkong’s Mysterious Turtle Divine Seed, while the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core in his Dantian had grown notably more powerful than when it first emerged!
"It’s extremely difficult to increase the number of Divine Patterns for a Divine Seed Martial Saint; it requires lengthy cultivation to make the Divine Seed grow new patterns. These ten Divine Patterns... normally Martial Saints would need to cultivate for at least a hundred years, right?"
Su Changkong was also delighted.
The more Divine Patterns there are, the stronger the Divine Seed becomes, and the greater the power of the Divine Skills unleashed!
A month hurried by, and Su Changkong finally completed his breakthrough in this desolate mountain, stepping into a brand new realm!
Turtle Breath Technique (12th Realm, Transcend the Saint 10%)
Name: Su Changkong (34 years old)
Lifespan: 800 years
Potential Points: 130
Su Changkong opened his attribute panel and took a look; both his lifespan and potential had undergone significant growth.
Originally, Su Changkong’s lifespan had already exceeded the limit by a hundred years after taking the Immortal Holy Pill. His Guiding Technique also achieved minor growth after breaking through to the 11th tier.
However, after successfully entering sainthood, reaching the first layer Heaven of sainthood and because the technique he cultivated was the Health-preserving Fist Qi Skill Turtle Breath Technique, Su Changkong’s lifespan increased more than the average Martial Artist entering sainthood, reaching an astonishing 800 years!
His potential points had also surged to 130.
"How strong am I now?"
Su Changkong was excited in his heart, for post-sainthood, he was completely different from before the breakthrough, and Su Changkong was eager to try out his new capabilities!
Five Animal Frolics. Demon Ape Capturing Space!
Su Changkong looked up at the sky; suddenly, he made his move. Spreading his five fingers, he reached towards the sky. Inside his Dantian, the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core spun smoothly, and a surge of Mysterious Turtle True Essence, far surpassing the limit he had before and ten times more powerful, was drawn and manipulated with ease.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
A shocking event occurred – the sky for miles around seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand; it dented and twisted, with clumps of clouds being squeezed into a misty explosion.
