Heavenly Grade Divine Expansion Hammer, a fourth-grade peak alchemist!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hammer after hammer fell continuously, and the Sea of Mental Energy was reborn in destruction, shattering one moment and solidifying again the next. Each hammer strike made the Mental Energy within the Sea of Mental Energy increasingly solid.

The hammer's shadow floated above the Sea of Mental Energy, its inscribed profound patterns radiating light. Spiritual Qi from the heavens and earth was automatically absorbed into the Sea of Mental Energy, merging into the Soul.

The moment the Soul was shattered by the hammer's shadow, the refined Spiritual Qi transformed into Mental Energy and surged into the Sea of Mental Energy.

“With this Expanding Spirit Art, my cultivation in the Civilization Master Dao will quickly catch up.”

“With both advancing simultaneously, the increase in strength will be even more terrifying.”

Jiang Qing felt the rapidly refined Mental Energy.

Previously, his combat power crushed many others among Martial Artists, but it wasn't comprehensive.

If he encountered a Civilization Master Genius whose talent could rival his, Jiang Qing would have a certain chance of overturning.

The Civilization Master's abilities are mysterious and unfathomable. Unless there is absolute power that can destroy everything, anyone in front of a Civilization Master could potentially overturn.

But if he raised his Realm in the Civilization Master Dao, he, cultivating both martial and civilization arts, would no longer have any opponents.

If Jiang Qing could dominate in the Martial Dao within a month, he would certainly not be inferior in the Civilization Master Dao.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Qing calmed himself to Cultivate the Expanding Spirit Art.

...

The next day.

Inside the Sea of Mental Energy.

The Mental Energy, which was just a small puddle yesterday, had expanded greatly after a night of Cultivation, flowing into a small stream within the Sea of Mental Energy space.

The blood-red Divine Script in the sky became even more powerful. In addition, there was a black hammer's shadow suspended above the Sea of Mental Energy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Collecting his thoughts, Jiang Qing's consciousness returned to reality.

The sound of the black Kuo Shen Hammer striking in his mind was still ringing, continuously refining Jiang Qing's Mental Energy.

This was why the Expanding Spirit Art could stand out in the Ancient Era: even if the Cultivator didn't actively use Mental Meditation, the Expanding Spirit Art would still continuously swing, enhancing the Cultivator's Mental Energy and solidifying the Sea of Mental Energy.

The difference between the two is that the Cultivator's speed will be faster when meditating, but even if the Cultivator does not actively use the Kuo Shen Hammer, their cultivation can continuously improve, as long as they can withstand the pain brought by the Kuo Shen Hammer's tempering.

After all, each strike of the Kuo Shen Hammer could make one wish for death, affecting daily Cultivation. If one lost focus momentarily during combat, it would be enough for the opponent to seize the opportunity.

However, this pain would gradually become numb; after experiencing it more, one would naturally not be affected.

Jiang Qing's will was firm, and moreover, he had already endured stronger pain than this, fully capable of adapting to the Kuo Shen Hammer's swinging speed without being affected.

Standing up and stretching his body, Jiang Qing felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment.

The Civilization Master's Cultivation refines Mental Energy, and after a night of Cultivation, his spirit, energy, and vitality were directly elevated.

“Ah, this feels good…”

Jiang Qing groaned comfortably, then went to the kitchen for breakfast.

After breakfast, Jiang Qing walked to the meditation room on the second floor.

A Divine Script appeared in his hand; the “Blood” Divine Script was entirely blood-red, flowing slowly like blood.

“As expected of the Expanding Spirit Art, which could stand out in the Ancient Era. It not only enhanced the power of the Divine Script but also strengthened its characteristic abilities. This Cultivation Technique is top-tier no matter which era it's placed in.”

After trying to use the Divine Script, Jiang Qing made a judgment.

Compared to when he first comprehended it yesterday, the power of the Blood Divine Script had clearly increased significantly, and its characteristic power had also been strengthened.

The Blood Divine Script was comprehended by Jiang Qing during a month of continuous arduous battles with enemies. At that time, after days of continuous combat, Jiang Qing's physical body and spirit were exhausted to the extreme. It was also because of this that the Divine Script he comprehended during that period developed a blood-sucking characteristic.

Every person he killed would provide him with Qi and blood, and Mental Energy replenishment from the enemy. Relying on this Divine Script, he became fiercer with each kill, which ultimately allowed him to eliminate all enemies.

It is difficult to enhance the characteristic effects of Divine Scripts, and few Cultivation Techniques have made achievements in this area.

After the recent experiment, Jiang Qing could confirm that the Expanding Spirit Art was not inferior even among Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, with effects comparable to a Heaven Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique.

The Expanding Spirit Art could not only solidify the mental space and strengthen Mental Energy, but its effect on enhancing Divine Script characteristics was also not weak at all.

After testing the effects of the Expanding Spirit Art, Jiang Qing began the projection.

【Target of Projection】: Jiang Qing.

【World of Projection】: Battlefield of the Heavens.

【Time of Projection】: Ancient Era.

【Duration】: 1 year.

【Conditions of Projection】: Join the Civilization Saint Hall, diligently Cultivate the Expanding Spirit Art for one year, and during this period, exchange insights with other Civilization Masters and delve into the Civilization Master Dao.

【Projection begins...】

【Ancient Era, you appeared on the Human Race Ancestral Star, assumed a false identity, and joined the Civilization Saint Hall...】

【One month passed. You diligently Cultivated the Expanding Spirit Art, frequently discussing Cultivation insights with other Civilization Masters. From them, you learned that the Human Race was preparing for war, and Civilization Masters who achieved success in Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Formation were highly esteemed.】

【These Civilization Masters could not only receive monthly stipends, but also exchange the Spiritual Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Formations they forged for Cultivation resources from the Saint Hall and earn extra merit points, thereby rapidly advancing their status.】

【Understanding this, you began to try your hand at these three areas.】

【Two months passed. After trying, you discovered your highest talent was in Alchemy. Due to possessing the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, refining Medicinal Pills was as if aided by gods. You quickly successfully refined a First-Rank Medicinal Pill, becoming a First-Rank Alchemist.】

【Having confirmed your highest talent in Alchemy, you gave up delving into Artifact Refining and Formation, and immersed yourself in Alchemy.】

【Three months passed. You refined a Second-Rank Medicinal Pill, becoming a Second-Rank Alchemist.】

【Six months passed. You became a Third-Rank Alchemist.】

【Twelve months passed. You became a Four-Rank Peak Alchemist.】

【Projection ended, settling in progress.】

...

“As expected, Civilization Masters have a greater ability to accumulate wealth!”

The projection ended, and Jiang Qing let out a sigh of admiration.

In this projection, he became a Four-Rank Peak Alchemist. With a wave of his hand, countless Martial Commander experts would curry favor, and even some Martial Marquises would also need to bow down, willing to follow him to their deaths for a single Medicinal Pill.

His cultivation strength in this aspect couldn't compare to when he chose the Martial Artist Dao in his projections, but his net worth was far beyond what he could achieve as a Martial Artist.

He spent a year to become a Four-Rank Peak Alchemist, which meant he would inevitably Breakthrough to Five-Rank in the future, and had a high probability of becoming a Six-Rank Alchemist.

Five-Rank Medicinal Pills were for the Martial Commander stage, and Six-Rank Medicinal Pills were for Martial Marquises. Some special Six-Rank Medicinal Pills were even coveted by Martial Venerables.

Therefore, although he was only a Four-Rank Peak Alchemist, the wealth in his hands was enough to rival the fortune of a Martial King, and his followers were countless, his horizons far beyond what a Martial Artist could achieve.
