4: He survived a fall from a cliff and learned a divine skill.
[First month, the Colorful Sparrow leads the way to find precious herbs. You encounter a pack of wolves and fight with all your might. At the brink of death, you survive and your cultivation improves. You obtain a Red Fruit precious herb, and your injuries heal.]
[Second month, the Colorful Sparrow finds herbs. You encounter a blind bear, the Black Bear King. You fight with all your might. At the brink of death, you survive. Your cultivation reaches Muscle Refining Minor Achievement. You obtain precious bear meat, Spiritual Honey, and your injuries heal.]
[Third month, the Colorful Sparrow finds herbs. You encounter the Tiger King, are no match, suffer a crushing defeat, and at the brink of death, you escape.]
[Fourth month, searching for herbs, resting, practicing martial arts, reaching Muscle Refining Major Achievement.]
[Fifth month, challenging the Tiger King again. With the Brink of Death + Martial Dao Intuition, you barely manage a draw. Exhausted, you retreat calmly. Searching for herbs and precious meat, practicing martial arts, reaching Muscle Refining Peak.]
[Sixth month, you reflect on your failures. Through the connections of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School Master, you purchase a footwork technique. Although its grade isn't high, it's barely sufficient. You exercise your world-shaking wisdom, reaching Minor Achievement in half a month. You fight the Tiger King again, achieving a great victory and defeating it.]
[Having defeated the Tiger King in your third battle and experienced the "Fortune and Misfortune Depend on Each Other" of the brink of death many times, your talent activates. The Tiger King submits, and you gain it as a mount. The Tiger King is comparable to the fourth level of the Acquired Realm. A sense of heroic pride arises in your heart.]
Indeed, fighting above one's level is the standard operation for a transmigrator, a protagonist—that is, you—you couldn't help but think.
[You obtain five hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruits and the hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit tree. This was the precious herb guarded by the Tiger King. You wonder how long the Tiger King has lived; it doesn't look that old. After being tamed, it's quite silly and cute.]
[With the medicinal power of the Vermillion Fruits, you Breakthrough to the fourth level of the Acquired Realm, the Blood Refining Realm. With strength exceeding a thousand catties, you possess the ability to stand against ten thousand men. Dominating the Mountain City and becoming a local overlord is now a natural progression, but your ambitions lie elsewhere.]
[You decide that once you reach the Acquired Realm fourth level Peak, you will head out to gain experience, witness the vastness of the world, and meet the various chosen ones of heaven to let them know the power of a transmigrator.]
Show them what it means to be terrifyingly strong!]
[At seventeen, you, at the Acquired Realm fourth level Peak, are already the famous Hunting King of Mount Mang. Your name has spread to many cities near Mount Mang.]
One day, you stand at the edge of a bottomless abyss, your expression shifting uncertainly.
[You sense a heaven-sent fortune beneath the cliff, but also the malice brought by death. You hesitate.]
[Although novels often record that the protagonist is hunted, jumps off a cliff, survives the disaster, gains an opportunity, and returns as a king.]
But this is a novel after all. Although you aren't afraid of death since you're a transmigrator... "That's right! I'm not afraid of death! Whose Protagonist Halo would just fall off? Which novel would write the protagonist to death? What is there to fear!"
[You gradually brainwash and convince yourself, then have the Tiger King simulate a scene of chasing you to deeply recreate the classic moment. Closing your eyes, whoosh! You jump down...]
[Cold, shaking!]
[After an unknown amount of time, you slowly open your eyes. As expected, you didn't die! But your whole body is aching. Silently sensing your condition, one leg and one arm have comminuted fractures, and your head is bleeding. You probably won't live much longer...]
[You silently accept your injuries. After all, you brought this on yourself; you must endure it even with tears.]
[Fortune and Misfortune Depend on Each Other. Jumping off the cliff and not dying—as expected, the good fortune has come.]
[You fell into a cave. You struggle to control your body and crawl forward... After a long time, the view suddenly opens up. You find a skeleton, and beside it grows a Five-Colored Lotus, which is clearly a precious herb.]
[You pluck a petal and hold it in your mouth, slowly refining it. A day later, your injuries are healed, and you start opening the loot box!]
["Thanks for the gift, bro! Six-six-six!"]
[Smiling, you open the treasure box in front of the skeleton. The first thing you see is a Cultivation Technique, the Great White Scripture. You slowly flip it open and are shocked to find it is a Cultivation Technique that leads directly to the Innate Peak.]
[Of course, the shock is something you worked hard to perform to fit your persona. Just in case there's an old grandpa's Soul hidden here, you can't show any flaws.]
[You give yourself a thumbs-up for your wit. As expected of yourself, you are truly cautious.]
[Later, you learn that the creator of this Great White Scripture was a Peerless Great Grandmaster who once reached the limit of the Innate Realm!]
[From the Acquired fifth level to the Acquired ninth level, one refines the five internal organs, awakens the divine wonders of the Five Treasuries, and condenses Qi and blood into Protective Aura. It naturally carries the Five Elements or rare heaven and earth elements. The power can even exceed the terrifying damage of ten thousand catties of force.]
[After the Acquired ninth level, the nine levels unify to condense the Innate Martial Body, achieving the Innate Realm. One can then be called a Grandmaster!]
[The Innate Realm has three major Realms: Body, Essence, and Intent! They can be called Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Peerless Great Grandmaster!]
[By condensing the Innate Martial Body, one can use it to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and stack it with Qi and blood to form Innate Protective Aura, which has infinite power.]
[By merging Qi and blood with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, transforming Qi and blood into True Essence, one becomes a Great Grandmaster. Stacking True Essence nine times and condensing it nine times allows one to Breakthrough to Peerless Great Grandmaster. A Peerless Great Grandmaster perceives their own martial Will and comprehends a Concept. They can then unify Body, Essence, and Intent—a three-in-one Body Integration—to break through the Life and Death Tribulation, stepping into the Heaven-Human Realm in one bound, enjoying eight hundred years of life. The world is vast, and there is nowhere they cannot go!]
[The skeleton sitting before you was an expert who was only one step away from breaking through the Innate Realm and entering the Heaven-Human Realm.]
[The owner of the skeleton even left behind a Legacy on how to Breakthrough to the Innate Realm. If his Martial Body hadn't been broken by a powerful enemy years ago, damaging his Foundation, and if he hadn't failed to perfect the three Realms and unify them by the end of his lifespan, he might have had a chance to step into the Heaven-Human Realm.]
[The Great White Scripture is a Sword Cultivator's Cultivation Technique, primarily focusing on Sword Intent. This suits your taste perfectly. After all, showing off and acting cool in front of others is the most basic quality of a transmigrator.]
[Thinking back, the Cultivation Technique you practiced before really didn't fit your status. Your standards weren't up to par before, but now you've officially raised them.]
[Besides the Great White Scripture, there is also a Sword Intent Nourishing manual in the treasure box. It involves nourishing a sword technique through the interaction of Qi and blood, weapons, and Will. Then, over many years, by realizing one's own Will and gradually stacking and nurturing it, the technique transforms from a Skill to a Momentum, and from Momentum to an Intent. According to the description, it can be nourished infinitely, even to the point of a Heaven-Man Intent. Of course, the time required would be incredibly long.]
[You memorize it and keep it safe. Regardless of how many years it takes to nourish a Sword Intent, it's still a good thing that can enhance lethality.]
[Finally, there is a jade bottle containing a Medicinal Pill, the divine treasury pill, which can protect and strengthen the Five Treasuries and accelerate the cultivation of the fifth level Organ Refining Realm.]
[The Great White Scripture clearly explains the pros and cons of Cultivation Techniques and the limits of each major Realm.]
[For example, Skin Refining has Bronze, Silver, Gold, Jade... Bone, Muscle, and Blood also have their own strengths and weaknesses. Although the White Tiger Fiendish Body Art is not weak, it hasn't reached the level of a peerless manual and has a significant gap compared to the Great White Scripture. You have no choice but to fill the gaps and recultivate.]
[Fortunately, there is a Five-Colored Lotus in the cave. The Five-Colored Lotus is gentle and mild, with amazing medicinal power. You are not lacking in cultivation resources for now.]
[You begin to specialize, becoming a Sword Cultivator, but you haven't given up on fist techniques. After all, a Sword Cultivator also craves the feeling of fist-to-fist combat!]
[You want to be hard, strong, and sharp!]
[Time passes quickly, and your cultivation progresses rapidly. In one week, you have mastered the basics of the Heavenly Gold Great White Body Refining Scripture. You have recultivated to the Acquired fourth level, with your strength reaching three thousand catties—three times what it was before the transition. You've also mastered the Great White Star-Shining Sword basics. These are all martial arts included in the Great White Scripture.]
[The Heavenly Gold Great White Body Refining Scripture can condense the Innate Great White Heavenly Gold Sword Body.]
[The Great White Star-Shining Sword includes three Acquired sword techniques, totaling seventy-two moves: Scattered Stars, Heavenly River Shining Stars, and Great White Seven Kills.]
[Three Innate sword techniques, totaling three hundred and sixty-two moves: Heavenly Radiance, Great White, and White Emperor Instant Kill!]
[Altogether, there are six sword techniques. To learn them all, one must integrate one thousand six hundred and fifty-two moves!]
[An Innate Cultivation Technique is truly terrifying, worthy of being a top-tier technique below the Heaven-Human Realm!]
[You are both pained and happy, as your world-shaking wisdom flickers and plays an important role...]
