Returning an apprentice

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had Cultivated this technique to Perfection.

"This Primal Chaos Sword Art is of a relatively low Realm after all. If it were two Realms higher, I doubt I could reach Perfection so quickly."

At best, this Sword Art could only support a Cultivator up to the Peak Star Realm.

For Su Ming, this was nothing worth bragging about, but that was only true for him.

Among those Cultivators who could truly create their own Cultivation Technique, very few were capable of creating one that surpassed their current Realm right from the start.

"I'll optimize it later... but if I can step into the Star Realm, the new Cultivation Technique I create will be even stronger."

"As for this Cultivation Technique... let's call it 'Primal Chaos Sword Art'."

Since it was born from the Fusion of over a dozen Sword Arts, Su Ming decided to give it a proper name.

"If I'm bored later, I'll continue to innovate and iterate on new versions..."

Just then, a sudden prompt from the System interrupted Su Ming's train of thought.

【Congratulations to the Host for successfully creating your first Cultivation Technique. If you allow others to learn this technique, the Host can obtain a portion of destiny points and Cultivation from it.】

"Huh?!" Su Ming stood up instantly; the System's prompt had taken him by complete surprise.

"Good grief, apprenticeship returns? System, you have this function?"

【This is a built-in feature, Host, there is no need to be surprised. You may recall, what is the prerequisite for obtaining destiny points?】

"The prerequisite for obtaining destiny points? Isn't it changing the destiny of those chosen by Heaven? The deeper the bond with destiny, and the greater the extent to which I change that destiny, the more destiny points I gain..." Su Ming suddenly understood the reason.

"Because I created this Cultivation Technique, I changed the destiny of those people..."

【Correct.】

"Then why does teaching Zhaodi and Yingluo using someone else's Cultivation Technique not count as changing destiny?"

【Because those techniques are already within the System of destiny, whereas the Cultivation Technique created by the Host is independent of the current world's destiny System.】

Su Ming understood completely now, but he still couldn't grasp why he could obtain Cultivation from this.

So, he asked the System about his confusion regarding this aspect.

【In essence, it is merely another form of stealing destiny.】

【Suppose the other party could originally only Cultivate to the Longevity Realm, but because of the Cultivation Technique provided by the Host, they are able to Breakthrough to the Star Realm; that portion exceeding their original Realm is the part that can be plundered.】

"Just like how I could absorb spiritual energy from Chu Fan after changing the nature of the 'taotie feast spirit', right?"

【The Host may understand it that way.】

After clarifying the reason, Su Ming's breathing suddenly quickened.

If he were to open-source this Cultivation Technique and teach it to everyone in this world, how many people's predetermined destinies would be broken? And how much spiritual energy could he obtain from it?

This was absolutely a terrifying, astronomical figure.

Even if he could only obtain a sliver from each, when added up across millions of people, this was a force that could not be ignored.

In Su Ming's eyes, those guys from the Sword Pavilion suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.

"As expected, the power of the masses is the greatest power..." Su Ming sighed and walked out of the room.

After confirming that both Little Girls were Cultivating, he headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

If he didn't spread such a good Cultivation Technique far and wide, wouldn't it be a waste?

Before Su Ming could reach the City Lord's Mansion, he saw a long queue on the road.

These were commoners waiting to enter the space channel to take refuge in the Secret Realm.

With the city guards present, the crowd at least didn't break out into any riots.

"There's actually no delightful queue-jumping segment?" Su Ming walked into the City Lord's Mansion on his own.

Chen Chuan rushed over to receive him immediately.

"Mr. Su, why didn't you let us know in advance that you were coming?"

Su Ming waved his hand and said: "I just came to see the situation. By the way, this is a Cultivation Technique I wrote in my spare time. Take it and have someone make a few tens of thousands of copies, then distribute them to the commoners of Hang City for them to Cultivate."

A simple statement, yet it shattered Chen Chuan's worldview once again.

Make tens of thousands of copies and give them to commoners to learn? Such a thing was simply unheard of.

Who wouldn't keep a Cultivation Technique secret and practice it privately? Absolutely no one would openly share it.

"Mr. Su, do you know what you are saying... If you give this Cultivation Technique to those ordinary people, heaven knows what will happen once they start Cultivating."

Without martial power, people might remain docile and honest, but once they possess power, some people's thoughts might become restless.

Furthermore, by teaching the technique to others, isn't that just indirectly telling them what your own weaknesses are?

Chen Chuan's words made Su Ming realize this as well.

Su Ming stroked his chin, and a plan gradually began to form.

It seemed he could slightly modify and transplant some teaching Systems from before his Transmigration; this would also prevent large-scale chaos after the original Cultivation Technique spread.

The world as a whole was indeed not as orderly as the Blue Star from before his Transmigration.

"I was indeed too impatient... Fine, take the Cultivation Technique and make about a hundred copies first. After I think of a proper method to handle this, you can then distribute it."

Seeing Su Ming back down, Chen Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and then began to examine the Cultivation Technique Su Ming had written.

He didn't know until he looked, but after reading it, Chen Chuan was incomparably shocked.

"Mr. Su... this Cultivation Technique of yours is somewhat..."

There were some things Chen Chuan didn't know whether to say at this moment.

"Is there a problem? Speak freely."

"This Cultivation Technique of yours might, might not be very suitable for commoners to Cultivate..." Chen Chuan expressed his meaning rather tactfully.

In reality, in Chen Chuan's view, one would have to be a Genius in the top twenty of the Hundred Sword Competition to even have a chance of successfully learning the Primal Chaos Sword Art.

It wasn't that the Primal Chaos Sword Art compiled by Su Ming was bad; it was that it was too good.

But because of this reason, the threshold for Cultivation had been raised extremely high.

Chen Chuan did not doubt for a second that a Sword Cultivator who mastered the Primal Chaos Sword Art would be invincible within the same Realm.

But that was only if they could successfully practice it.

Chen Chuan's words made Su Ming frown. This thing wasn't suitable for commoners to Cultivate?

Wasn't the Primal Chaos Sword Art very simple? He had Cultivated it to Perfection in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Su Ming soon realized that since he had created this Cultivation Technique himself, his own talent was already at the very top tier, and with the existence of the Innate Dao Bone, learning it was naturally effortless.

How could ordinary people have his kind of absurd talent?

"Your words have reminded me... No matter, I will go back and slightly modify the content to make it easier to pick up."

Chen Chuan was dumbfounded upon hearing this. What did he mean by modifying the Cultivation Technique to make it easier?

He truly couldn't imagine what the Primal Chaos Sword Art would look like after being simplified.

However, before he could recover, Su Ming suddenly turned and flew towards outside the city: "I'm going to handle some matters first; you all hurry up and transport the commoners."
