147: Ao Han's Ten Great Masters, the Ultimate Grandmaster

Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Chu Jiang was checking the Pinnacle Cultivation Techniques. There were only a dozen or so Pinnacle-level Cultivation Techniques on the third floor, which wasn't many.

Five Peerless-level ones.

Two Extreme-level ones.

As for the Golden Core level above the Transcendent Realm, the Scripture Pavilion did not have techniques of this caliber.

Internal Skill category:

《Purple Extremity Heart Canon》

This Cultivation Technique focuses on the power of the mind, using the heart to control Qi. It allows the true essence to communicate with the mind, shortening the release time of martial arts. Cultivating to the Perfection stage allows one to obtain Purple Extremity True Essence, which can injure enemies and save lives.

Exchange price: 8,000 contribution points.

《Ice Soul Divine Skill》

Can Cultivate Ice True Essence, freezing the enemy's Qi, blood, and movements.

Exchange price: 9,000 contribution points.

《Ice King Skill》

Controls the power of the ice attribute. Can Cultivate three cold ice Qi vortices, with a true essence reserve three times that of the same level. Cultivating to Perfection can freeze a radius of one thousand meters and affect the weather on a small scale.

Exchange price: 10,000 contribution points.

《Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon》

Through specific breathing methods and meditation techniques, it draws the clear spiritual Qi of heaven and earth into the body, transforming it into pure Taiqing True Essence. This Cultivation Technique allows the cultivator to have an ethereal state of mind, undisturbed by external objects, keeping calm in battle, and accurately using true essence to overcome the enemy, especially effective against demons.

Exchange price: 13,000 contribution points.

...

External Skill category:

《Tyrant Heaven Fist Sutra》

Known for its rigidity and dominance, the cultivator needs to repeatedly temper their physique and strength. Every punch carries the momentum of thunder, capable of shattering stones and splitting metal. It emphasizes instantaneous explosive power.

Exchange price: 12,000 contribution points.

《Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill》

Cultivated to Perfection, defense is ten times that of a Pinnacle Great Grandmaster, seven times for a Peerless Grandmaster, and three times for a Peak Great Grandmaster. Each use consumes ten years of Lifespan; use with caution unless in a life-or-death situation.

Exchange price: 8,000 contribution points.

"No wonder the exchange price for this Cultivation Technique is so low."

Chu Jiang saw the introduction of this martial art. Every time it is used, ten years of Lifespan are lost. By the time you Cultivate this technique to Perfection, you probably won't have many years left to live.

Furthermore.

Using it once consumes Lifespan; using it before death just makes you kick the bucket instantly.

I guess no one would exchange for it.

God Elephant Suppresses Hell Force》

This Cultivation Technique requires a large amount of resources to Cultivate. Once reaching Major Achievement, the cultivator's defense and strength increase exponentially, with the power to collapse mountains and break rivers in every gesture. Cultivating to a certain Realm will summon a Dragon phantom, greatly increasing combat power.

Note: If this Cultivation Technique relies solely on absorbing the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, it takes one hundred years to enter the door, and one thousand years to reach Major Achievement. Choose carefully if there are no sufficient resources.

Exchange price: 20,000 contribution points.

The price of this External Skill is also too expensive, actually the same price as a Peerless-level Cultivation Technique, exceeding 20,000.

However, its power is truly fierce.

Chu Jiang turned his gaze to the Extreme-level Cultivation Technique column.

There was only one External Skill.

《Great Sun Golden Body Upper Chapter》

This Cultivation Technique originates from Buddhism and is the foundational chapter for Transcendent Realm techniques. It can Cultivate the most Yang and rigid Solar True Essence, which has a huge suppressive effect on evil spirits and demons. It can strengthen the Physical Body, making the flesh like a Spiritual Artifact. It can strengthen the Soul, resisting evil spirit Soul attacks. It can make strength and defense increase geometrically. It possesses extremely high self-healing capabilities. Cultivated to Major Achievement, the light of the golden body alone can suppress and kill a Nether-level Seventh-Turn demon.

Exchange price: 120,000 contribution points.

This External Skill is actually more powerful than the God Elephant Suppresses Hell Force.

But I can only look at it.

It's too expensive.

Even if it were halved, it would still require 60,000 contribution points.

However, with his current contribution points, he cannot support the Fusion of two major Extreme-level Cultivation Techniques for both Internal Skill and External Skill.

He thought about it.

It is better to improve the Internal Skill first. Once the Realm is higher, it will be easier to kill demons and earn Lifespan.

External Skills consume too many resources. Just a Peerless-level External Skill requires one thousand years to reach Major Achievement without resources.

Higher Extreme-level External Skills would probably require thousands, or even ten thousand years of demon life essence to achieve anything.

It wouldn't be too late to Cultivate External Skills after some time when there is a surplus of demon life essence.

The most critical thing now is to Breakthrough to Extreme Great Grandmaster.

Ultimately.

Chu Jiang used his contribution points to exchange for 《Purple Extremity Heart Canon》, 《Ice Soul Divine Skill》, 《Ice King Skill》, and 《Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon》.

The total price was 40,000 contribution points.

He immediately left the Scripture Pavilion and headed straight to the training room in the Chu Residence.

Chu Jiang sat cross-legged on the Black Ice Platform and opened the panel.

"Martial arts available for Fusion detected. Do you want to fuse?"

Chu Jiang clicked yes without hesitation.

"Fuse Ice Soul Divine Skill and Ice King Skill!"

[Fusing martial arts: Ice Soul Divine Skill (Not yet entered), Ice King Skill (Not yet entered)]

[Martial art Fusion successful — Peerless Martial Art · Profound Ice Dragon Control Art (Not yet entered), consumes 50 years of Lifespan]

"Fuse Purple Extremity Heart Canon and Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon!"

[Fusing martial arts: Purple Extremity Heart Canon (Not yet entered), Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon (Not yet entered)]

[Martial art Fusion successful — Peerless Martial Art · Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon (Not yet entered), consumes 50 years of Lifespan]

[Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon: The upgraded Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon comes with healing capabilities]

"Why didn't the name change this time?"

It was the first time Chu Jiang had encountered a situation where the name remained the same after Fusion, which he found quite novel.

System: "Cultivation Techniques of the same level also have distinctions in quality. When a high-quality Cultivation Technique fuses with a lower-quality one, the high-quality one will take the leading position, so naturally, the name will not change."

So that's how it is.

Chu Jiang continued the Fusion.

"Fuse Profound Ice Dragon Control Art and Taiqing Demon-Subduing Canon!"

[Fusing martial arts...]

[Martial art Fusion successful — Extreme Martial Art · Ten Absolute Cold Arts (Not yet entered), consumes 60 years of Lifespan]

Finally, fuse with the main Internal Skill.

"Fuse Bright Jade Longevity Skill and Taiqing Dragon Control Art!"

[Fusing martial arts...]

[Martial art Fusion successful — Extreme Martial Art · Ten Absolute Cold Arts (Not yet entered), consumes 70 years of Lifespan]

[Ten Absolute Cold Arts: The upgraded Ten Absolute Cold Arts comes with Longevity; your life fades away extremely slowly]

[demon life essence: 1,625 years]

...

A loss.

The gap between a pseudo-pinnacle and an Extreme Great Grandmaster is truly too large. Even after Fusion, the cultivation progress will not change.

Chu Jiang settled his mind, and the massive amount of Lifespan began to pour into the panel.

[First year: You start to Cultivate Ten Absolute Cold Arts. Because you have the Black Ice Platform, your comprehension of Ten Absolute Cold Arts increases by 10%]

[38th year: You Breakthrough to Peerless Grandmaster]

[40th year: After breaking through to Peerless Grandmaster, the boost brought by your Prodigy-level talent is not as large as before, and cultivation progress drops by 30%]

[72nd year: You Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Peerless Grandmaster]

[130th year: You Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Peerless Grandmaster]

[200th year: You Breakthrough to the Peak of Peerless Grandmaster]

[230th year: You are stuck in a Bottleneck and cannot Breakthrough for a long time. You can only follow the steps and accumulate slowly. You are not in a hurry. The talent of a Prodigy barely meets the minimum standard for stepping into an Extreme Great Grandmaster. As long as you accumulate long enough, you will eventually Breakthrough]

[300th year: Through accumulation and steady progress, you Breakthrough to Extreme Great Grandmaster, and Ten Absolute Cold Arts is officially entered]

[450th year: Ten Absolute Cold Arts reaches Minor Achievement]

[730th year: Ten Absolute Cold Arts reaches Major Achievement. You obtain Extreme Cold True Essence and Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Extreme Great Grandmaster]

[1,500th year: After a thousand years of hard cultivation, Ten Absolute Cold Arts reaches Perfection, and you Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Extreme Great Grandmaster]

[Unlocked: Taiqing Dragon Control, Ten Directions Ice Silence, World-Extinguishing Ice Spear, Extreme Cold Domain]

[Taiqing Dragon Control: You can control an ice Dragon to soar through heaven and earth and suppress and kill enemies]

[Ten Directions Ice Silence: Freezes ten thousand meters, lasting for a year without dispersing]

[World-Extinguishing Ice Spear: The strongest killing move of Ten Absolute Cold Arts, which can freeze both the Physical Body and the Soul together, and annihilate them]

[Extreme Cold Domain: Can cover a radius of one thousand meters. Within the Domain, the temperature is below minus 200 degrees Celsius. Non-Transcendent creatures stepping into this Domain will be instantly frozen]

[Extreme Martial Art · Ten Absolute Cold Arts (Perfection)]

[demon life essence: 125 years]

[Own Lifespan: 900 years]

...

Chu Jiang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. As the Ten Absolute Cold Arts circulated within his body, a terrifying cold current erupted from the true essence sea, like a collapsing glacier, unstoppable.

The cold Qi became increasingly intense, as if even the air had condensed into ice. The several barriers of the Realm were easily torn apart at this moment.

As Chu Jiang's Realm continued to climb, his Aura became as towering as an iceberg, and the surrounding space seemed to be frozen.

Chu Jiang opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were deep like a ten-thousand-year cold pool, flashing with icy blue brilliance.

Strong, extremely strong!

From Pinnacle Great Grandmaster to Peerless Grandmaster, and then to Extreme Great Grandmaster, it soared all the way here.

Now he is countless times stronger than before.

Extreme Great Grandmaster, achieved!
