283: Comprehensive integration, Bodhi will mature

Yang Dian casually tossed a rare treasure resembling a cherry into his mouth, then refocused his attention on the remaining few Martial Arts.

"Dragon Claw Hand," "Hun Yuan Strength," "Star Gazing Art," "Night Battle in All Directions."

"Dragon Claw Hand is, after all, my first Martial Art, so I'll keep it."

"I'll comprehend the other Cultivation Techniques, extract their essence, discard their dross, and upgrade my little baby."

"Hun Yuan Strength is a Cultivation Technique that integrates body strength."

"Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it seems I can also add it to Heaven and Man Unity Skill."

"I can Cultivate while controlling strength."

"As for Star Gazing Art and Night Battle in All Directions..."

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Dian's mind stirred.

"Night Battle in All Directions is said to be a sword technique, but it only has basic sword moves; what it truly Cultivates is the sixth sense."

"It's mainly about me predicting your prediction; if I extend my sword, you'll run into it yourself."

"Since it Cultivates perception, I can merge it into Star Gazing Art."

"Besides that, contemplation methods like 'Sun and Moon Shining Together,' 'Five Elements Rotation,' 'Mountains and Rivers Suppressing the Sea,' and 'Divine Protection' can also be integrated."

"The stars envisioned by Star Gazing Art are stars, but they are also more than just stars."

"They are the convergence of my own thoughts."

"I can completely imbue the stars with attributes."

"For example, I can imbue a star with the danger perception, malice perception, life perception, and weakness perception from Night Battle in All Directions."

"Or, for instance, I can imbue stars with Five Elements attributes, allowing spiritual thoughts to also carry attribute strength."

"Another example is transforming stars into gods."

"Star Gods are also stars; how is contemplating Star Gods not contemplating stars?"

In his thoughts, the two Cultivation Techniques, Night Battle in All Directions and Star Gazing Art, began to merge.

Then, changes also occurred in the place where his Soul resided.

The stars were originally as bright as a full moon.

But as four stars began to incorporate the traits gained from Cultivating Night Battle in All Directions, their colors also began to change.

One turned crimson (danger perception).

One turned inky black (malice perception).

One turned light green (life perception).

The last one appeared somewhat ethereal and void (weakness perception).

These were the changes after Night Battle in All Directions merged into Star Gazing Art.

In addition, the total energy required for Star Gazing Art to achieve the next trait also increased slightly, reaching 300,000.

His thoughts shifted again.

As Hun Yuan Strength also merged into Heaven and Man Unity Skill, the Martial Arts concepts of various claw techniques, grappling techniques, and some conceptual attributes also began to integrate into Dragon Claw Hand.

Ultimately, the Martial Arts and traits on the panel, after extensive streamlining, were reduced to just a few.

Previously on the panel, many traits were severely homogenized.

For example, Bronze Sinews and Iron Bones was homogenized with Indestructible Vajra.

Indestructible Vajra could completely cover Bronze Sinews and Iron Bones.

Indestructible Vajra and Qi and Blood Like the Sea, again, belonged to Physique-type traits.

Seizing this opportunity, Yang Dian simply integrated them all into Innate Body.

Traits like Listening to Heavenly Music and Star Illumination of Constant Stillness, similar to Unity of Man and Nature, were traits that required subjective activation.

With his current spiritual strength, he could completely activate all three simultaneously.

Therefore, these two traits were also incorporated into Unity of Man and Nature.

As for whether activating Unity of Man and Nature during combat would make it easy to hear 'Heavenly Music'?

Heavenly Music includes not only the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth but also the environment of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, whether or not to listen also depended on Yang Dian himself.

Finally, traits like Striking Ox Across Space, Controlling Cranes and Capturing Dragons, and Yin and Yang Combined Strike, which were all applications of Qi and Blood and body strength, were ultimately thrown into Innate Body.

Don't ask.

If you ask, it's because Innate Body is a hodgepodge.

After integrating all the Martial Arts, Yang Dian fell into deep thought.

"Then again."

"Can anyone else even get started with these three Martial Arts of mine?"

He flicked his finger.

A Qi and Blood strike, several times sharper than before, carrying a faint buzzing sound, severed a large tree before quietly dissipating, and Yang Dian blinked.

Most likely, no.

He had already twisted his Qi and Blood into a spiral force within his body, or vibrated it into a super-frequency particle blade.

If any other Martial Artist dared to do this, they would either be twisted into a pretzel by their Qi and Blood or be cut in half by their Qi and Blood.

"Forget it, I'll take some time later to break down Heaven and Man Unity Skill into dozens or hundreds of parts for others to Cultivate."

"Only true peerless Prodigies are worthy of Cultivating my complete Heaven and Man Unity Skill."

Standing up and stretching, Yang Dian began to eat rare treasure again.

There were still over 5,700 portions of rare treasure left.

Even if he ate with all his might, he could only consume a hundred portions a day.

It would take almost two months to finish what he had on hand.

"So the problem arises again."

"After finishing the rare treasure and having Dudu sublimate my Physique, should I prioritize improving Heaven and Man Unity Skill or Dragon Claw Hand?"

"Improving Heaven and Man Unity Skill can further enhance body strength, total Qi and Blood, the strength of the magnetic field I can control, and the amount of Innate Qi that can be condensed each month."

"These are all fine, but I'm just afraid the next trait will be another auxiliary trait."

"If I improve Dragon Claw Hand, the destructive power of its traits will definitely be strong, and I can get two traits out of it, but the overall strength increase will definitely not be as great as improving Heaven and Man Unity Skill."

As for the remaining Star Gazing Art?

Yang Dian subconsciously forgot about it.

In the future, Star Gazing Art would be a trait replenisher.

Whenever he thought of a special trait, he would create a contemplation method, then imbue it with a concept, contemplate it, and finally condense the trait.

"Then again, can I use Star Gazing Art to contemplate an hourglass or a clock, whose deeper meaning represents time, or even prophecy?"

Yang Dian merely thought about it speculatively, and the panel began to shake slightly.

It seemed as if it would die if he really dared to do that.

"Tsk, after all this time, my Soul strength has increased to over 7 times its original, so why does this talent still look like it's going to die at any moment?"

"Hard to bear."

"Oh, wait, it seems I'm still missing a Cultivation Technique that can enhance Soul strength..."

"I need to find a way to add it to Star Gazing Art; otherwise, relying solely on Innate Qi to improve it little by little would take forever."

"But the question is, how do I start?"

"Contemplation methods all enhance spiritual strength; just imagining a Cultivation Technique that enhances the Soul would be too costly..."

While he was contemplating, the wristband on Yang Dian's hand rang.

Tapping the wristband, Yue Shan's voice then sounded in Yang Dian's ear.

"The Bodhi Tree is about to bear fruit; are you coming?"

Yang Dian stood up.

"Go!"

Cultivation Techniques could be created anytime.

But opportunities to fight the Ah San weren't always available.

"By the way, what was the name of that Brahma from Ah San's side?"

"Sana·Saka?"
