156: What's missing! Time to break through!

Early the next morning,

after fusing the Profound Truths of one Body Refining Cultivation Technique and three Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Skills into the Martial Scripture,

Zhang Yang stood up and headed for the Heart Nurturing Chamber.

"Greetings, Divine Son!"

Outside the gates of the Heart Nurturing Chamber, the Disciple on duty immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Zhang Yang's figure.

Zhang Yang's expression was calm as he nodded slightly and stated his purpose directly:

"Yes. I've come this time because I need to use the core area of the Forget Self, No Self Heart Nurturing Grand Formation."

"No problem! Divine Son, you may use it for one day."

The Disciple on duty didn't hesitate for a second, nodding in agreement immediately,

while presenting a special shimmering token with both hands.

Taking the token, Zhang Yang walked straight into the Heart Nurturing Chamber, moving like the wind as he quickly arrived at the core position of the Forget Self, No Self Heart Nurturing Grand Formation.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and sat cross-legged firmly in the very center of the Formation core.

His mind instantly sank into the Sea of Consciousness within his body!

Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, massive spheres of light representing the Profound Truths of various sections of the Martial Scripture floated, emitting a brilliant radiance.

Among them, the spheres of light formed by the scriptural Profound Truths of the Saber, Body, and Cultivation Technique sections were the largest!

Immediately after, Zhang Yang's Yang Spirit also leaped out from the depths of the Sea of Consciousness!

At the same time, within his Dantian's Qi Sea,

above the profound infant that represented the core of his cultivation, a slowly rotating Yin and Yang fish totem suddenly appeared at the center of its forehead!

On the center of Zhang Yang's physical forehead, that Yin and Yang fish totem also slowly appeared!

In an instant, an indescribable, mysterious state descended!

Zhang Yang instantly entered a state of Epiphany!

Not only that, but the entire Forget Self, No Self Heart Nurturing Grand Formation was fully activated,

the massive power of the Formation surged, pushing Zhang Yang's state of mind into an unprecedented Realm of clarity,

and his speed of thought reached a terrifying level!

Countless Cultivation Technique Profound Truths and Martial Skill essences surged and fused frantically in his mind!

Using the numerous heaven tier low-grade Saber Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and Body Refining Cultivation Techniques fused into the Martial Scripture as excellent nourishment,

he began to strike with all his might toward a higher goal!

How to elevate the Saber Scripture, Body Scripture, and even the core Cultivation Technique within the Martial Scripture,

and break through the heaven tier mid-grade threshold in one go!

His Yang Spirit was not idle either; taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime state of Epiphany,

it sensed the Law forces that were omnipresent between heaven and earth with all its might.

His Law comprehension, which was originally at the seventh level, soared like a rocket!

Ten minutes passed!

Zhang Yang was still in a state of Epiphany!

Over the past month, his Yang Spirit's strength had skyrocketed dozens of times, and its ability to withstand the consumption of an Epiphany far exceeded before.

Although the consumption increased the further it went, he estimated

that he could last at least over an hour this time!

However, even with so many heaven tier low-grade Cultivation Techniques as a Foundation, the cheat of Epiphany,

and the super BUFF from the Heart Nurturing Grand Formation,

Zhang Yang's furrowed brows still did not relax.

"Still not working? Not even a single clue?" He felt a trace of anxiety in his heart.

The path to breaking through to heaven tier mid-grade seemed completely obscured by a thick fog, with not even a single crack to be found.

"Could it be that some key element is missing?" Zhang Yang's thoughts raced.

heaven tier mid-grade corresponds to the level of a Dao Severing Realm expert!

The core of cultivation in the Dao Severing Realm is to sever the nine heavenly dao chains bound to the profound infant.

To sever these chains, one must transform the ninth-level Law Intent into a Domain and then sublimate it again!

"Is it because my current Law comprehension isn't refined enough yet? So I can't even touch the threshold?"

Zhang Yang immediately recalled the words of his Revered Master, Xin Buxiu.

Back then, when he asked his Revered Master how to increase the rank of a Cultivation Technique, his Revered Master told him not to rush and to ask him once his cultivation reached the seventh level of the Divine Ruins Realm.

Seventh level of the Divine Ruins Realm?

Zhang Yang immediately recalled the cultivation of the Divine Ruins Realm in his mind.

Cultivation in the Divine Ruins Realm is a process of accumulating life force within the Grotto-Heaven,

generally speaking, there are no particularly difficult Bottlenecks in the Divine Ruins Realm,

but there are two Bottlenecks worth noting.

One is when breaking through to the seventh level of the Divine Ruins Realm, Law comprehension needs to reach the ninth level!

The second is when breaking through from the Divine Ruins Realm to the Venerable King Realm! One needs to sublimate ninth-level Law comprehension!

"It seems it really might be that my Law comprehension isn't up to scratch!"

Having figured this out, Zhang Yang's furrowed brows relaxed, and he decisively adjusted his plan:

"Then I'll max out my Law comprehension first!"

With undivided attention, he sat firmly at the Formation core, his Yang Spirit operating at full capacity, frantically analyzing the mysteries of the Laws of heaven and earth!

Under the dual enhancement of the Epiphany state and his powerful Yang Spirit,

the speed at which his Law comprehension soared was frighteningly fast!

In just one minute!

Laws roared within Zhang Yang's body, and his comprehension directly surged to the eighth level!

Peering into his Dantian, he could see more mysterious and unfathomable runes beginning to emerge on the small body of the profound infant.

"I wonder at what level of Law comprehension this profound infant will undergo its next transformation?"

Zhang Yang had a brief thought before immediately diving back into Law comprehension.

With the Epiphany state plus a Yang Spirit power dozens of times stronger than before,

Zhang Yang's Law comprehension efficiency reached an unbelievable level!

Time passed bit by bit, until the one-hour Epiphany state was about to end,

Zhang Yang's body suddenly jolted!

Ninth-level Law! Success!

At this moment, the profound infant within his Dantian

was already densely covered from top to bottom with those mysterious runes, emitting an ancient and powerful aura.

Zhang Yang clearly felt that the next time he broke through his cultivation Realm, this profound infant would surely undergo an astounding transformation!

As for what specific benefits he would gain, it was still impossible to know.

The Epiphany state ended, and Zhang Yang slowly opened his eyes as his Yang Spirit returned to the depths of the Sea of Consciousness with a sense of extreme exhaustion.

A full hour of full-power Epiphany—the consumption of Yang Spirit power was simply astronomical!

"But, it was worth it!"

Feeling his unprecedentedly clear sense of control over the Laws of heaven and earth,

a satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Yang's weary face.

In one hour, soaring from the seventh level of Law to the ninth level Great Perfection!

If this speed were to be known, it would be enough to scare a whole bunch of so-called Geniuses silly!

Standing up, Zhang Yang felt the still surging and pure Formation power in the core area of the Heart Nurturing Grand Formation.

"There are still twenty-three hours left; I absolutely cannot waste them!"

Zhang Yang didn't hesitate for a second and immediately began to Cultivate heaven tier low-grade Martial Skills.

With the powerful enhancement of the Formation core, his speed of Cultivating Martial Skills was several times faster than usual!

For the next twenty-three hours, he raced against time like an untiring machine,

pouring all his mind into the Martial Skills.

When the twenty-three hours were exhausted and the Formation glowed,

Zhang Yang was teleported out of the Heart Nurturing Chamber, with a sharp light restrained in his eyes.

Although he failed to break through his core Cultivation Technique to heaven tier mid-grade as he had hoped, the gains from this trip were immense!

"Law comprehension has reached the ninth level Perfection! I also conveniently practiced five heaven tier low-grade Martial Skills to the state of Perfection and absolute mastery!"

Zhang Yang calculated in his heart, "Now, it's time to break through to the Divine Ruins Realm!"

He didn't start the Breakthrough immediately but returned to the summit of Qingling Peak.

Sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes; he wasn't in a hurry to break through to the Divine Ruins Realm, but instead closed his eyes, preparing to create a special Cultivation Technique, or perhaps a Martial Skill?

Among the many Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques Zhang Yang had Cultivated, those regarding the concealment of one's cultivation were few and far between!

This time, Zhang Yang intended to fuse many of these types of techniques to create a heaven tier low-grade Cultivation Technique capable of concealing his cultivation!

Ideally, the kind that even a Dao Severing Realm expert couldn't see through!

Two days and two nights of no sleep, deduction, trial, and modification!

Finally, on the morning of the third day,

Zhang Yang snapped his eyes open, an imperceptible faint light flashing deep within them.

Success!

A brand-new breath-concealing secret technique, ranked as heaven tier low-grade, was successfully created by him!

Zhang Yang was confident that as long as he operated this technique, even if he stood before a Dao Severing Realm big shot,

it would be difficult for them to discover his true cultivation!

"It's also time to break through to the Divine Ruins Realm!"

Zhang Yang rose to his feet, feeling the surging power within his body that had long reached the ninth level Peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm and was almost impossible to suppress.

He had deliberately suppressed his cultivation to wait for the ninth-level Law, all for the most perfect Breakthrough.

Now, the time was ripe!

He left Qingling Peak without hesitation, even moving beyond the mountain gate range of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

His figure flew across the high mountains and lofty ridges, finally selecting a deserted and secluded valley.

"This is the place." Zhang Yang looked around, confirming it was safe.

He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and adjusted his breathing,

while the profound infant in his Dantian trembled slightly along with the ninth-level Law force.
