NOVPUBBut this was exactly Su Changkong’s intent! 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Not broken, not established!
"Re-cultivate the Heaven Silkworm Technique!"
Su Changkong endured the dizziness and began cultivating the Heaven Silkworm Technique from the beginning.
"Re-cultivating the Heaven Silkworm Technique...Although this technique is quite exceptional, there are indeed flaws that can be improved."
With his current foundation in Martial Arts and extraordinary comprehension abilities, Su Changkong easily identified the flaws in the Heaven Silkworm Technique and improved upon them.
"Hoo!"
Inside Su Changkong, a strand of new Heaven Silkworm True Qi was born. Although still very weak, it was extremely pure. This strand of Heaven Silkworm True Qi rapidly circulated, growing and strengthening like a young sapling!
Around Su Changkong’s body, silkworm threads formed and gradually transformed into a giant cocoon, refining nature’s spiritual energy and enveloping his body. Located within it, Su Changkong breathed in and out, drawing in nature’s spiritual energy and converting it into pure Essence Qi to replenish his own losses.
Time passed, and half a year flashed by... During this time, the Monster Soul Mark continuously drained Su Changkong’s life force, making his appearance extremely aged, skin and bones, weak as if a gust of wind could topple him, resembling a centenarian. However, the newly re-cultivated Heaven Silkworm True Qi inside his Dantian was rapidly growing stronger.
In just half a year, he successfully re-cultivated, and the purity of the Heaven Silkworm True Qi was clearly superior to that of his peak period!
"Crack, crack, crack!"
The cocoon around Su Changkong shattered, and as the Heaven Silkworm True Qi circulated within his body, he underwent a metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly, reverting from the old-aged back to the vibrant youth he once was.
Heaven Silkworm Technique (Level 10 - Shock the World and Horrify the Public 21%)
He opened his attribute panel and saw significant improvement in the Heaven Silkworm Technique compared to six months ago.
"Again!"
Su Changkong’s eyes were bright and without hesitation, he injected the newly re-cultivated Heaven Silkworm True Qi into the Monster Soul Mark, without any reluctance!
Once again, his body became extremely weak. Su Changkong, dragging his weary body, began to re-cultivate the Heaven Silkworm Technique for another round.
This time, Su Changkong perfected the re-cultivation of the Heaven Silkworm Technique much faster than the first time, completing it in just three months!
Su Changkong could distinctly feel his body undergoing a metamorphosis, becoming increasingly vibrant with an immense life force, making progress at the very essence of life.
Time and again, he re-cultivated, surpassing his past self each time.
The Monster Soul Mark was growing rapidly, but Su Changkong’s progress in the Heaven Silkworm Technique was even faster!
The Monster Soul Mark was both a pressure and a catalyst for Su Changkong to temper himself and complete his transformation!
Time elapsed, and Su Changkong continuously went through the process of re-cultivating the Heaven Silkworm Technique from youth to old age and back again. In just one year, Su Changkong experienced what seemed like many lifetimes.
Meanwhile, while Su Changkong tirelessly cultivated in seclusion, other matters unfolded. Half a year after Su Changkong started his seclusion, Xia Yanyi, having entered the Saint realm, chose to go to Ancient Holy Country. He contacted Su Changkong using the Identity Token, inviting him to journey to Ancient Holy Country together, but Su Changkong politely declined, stating his desire to follow his master, the ’Blade God’ in cultivation.
Besides this, midway through, Divine Weapon Villa encountered threats and troubles. An Innate Martial Artist who had achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top had a conflict with Divine Weapon Villa. The Villa then sent people to Zhongling Mountain for help.
Su Changkong was too indifferent to personally intervene in such minor matters, letting people like Zuo Qiu take charge. Since the renowned ’Dao Wufeng’ had relations with Divine Weapon Villa, the opposing side was undoubtedly doomed. Even the Sect Master of the Innate Martial Artist, a Five-Qi Grandmaster, personally visited to apologize, offering gifts of atonement, fearing to provoke a disaster that could lead to their sect’s destruction.
For Su Changkong, these were just insignificant matters. At his level, his sole focus now was to surpass himself!
Time hurried, and two and a half years passed in a blink, with Su Changkong turning 38 this year, and another winter arrived.
Snow fluttered between heaven and earth, freezing cold, yet inside Heaven Silkworm Cave, it was warm as spring. Normally, not even a blade of grass should grow inside a rock-formed cave, yet now, it was bursting with vibrant flowers and plants, all thanks to Su Changkong!
Su Changkong emanated a majestic life force that was hard for ordinary people to imagine. This vibrant energy, even slightly dispersed, made the Heaven Silkworm Cave lush with vegetation, perennially spring-like!
"Finally...I have broken through," Su Changkong exhaled, with fragments of broken cocoon scattered around, his lips curling into a smile of relief.
After two and a half years of arduous cultivation and enduring no less than nine re-cultivations, each one a metamorphosis from cocoon to butterfly, he had finally managed to push the immensely difficult, slowly progressing Heaven Silkworm Technique to Level 11!
