257: Chapter 257 First Test of Creation Energy, Condensing Copper Skin

Of course, you don't really believe in these superficial statistics. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are few people at the Second Realm Dharma Manifestation on the surface.

But in the shadows, there might be quite a few First Realm Heaven-Human, and perhaps in some places, there are even old monsters hidden who are above the First Realm.

It's no wonder you think this way; honestly, this martial arts classification and this worldview are too reminiscent of something else.

Even if a cultivator suddenly appeared at the end, you wouldn't be surprised.

After carefully experiencing the power of a Ninth Realm Martial Artist, you gathered your focus and turned your attention to that trace of strange energy that had quietly sprouted within your body while practicing boxing yesterday.

That trace of energy was like an undercurrent; subtle yet truly existing. You didn't know where it was in your body, you only knew it was there, and your intuition told you it posed no harm to you.

When you immersed all your consciousness into it, attempting to touch the essence of that trace of strange energy, a clear piece of information suddenly emerged from the depths of your mind, as if parting the clouds to see the sun.

"So my Golden Finger has finally arrived!"

According to the information, that trace of energy was the Origin power nurtured by the talent "Boundless Creation" you possessed after Transmigration, named Creation Energy.

According to the information transmitted by the talent, this energy originated from all your actions and behaviors; even daily breathing, walking, and resting could naturally generate it.

However, the Creation Energy generated by these daily activities was too thin, and when you first arrived in this world, your emotions were turbulent and your mind was unsettled.

Coupled with the fact that you did not possess extraordinary perception, you had not noticed it for a long time.

It wasn't until this morning, when you practiced your boxing technique, that the generation of Creation Energy significantly accelerated, finally gathering into a warm current that you could clearly perceive.

By using Creation Energy, you could condense the illusory objects conceived in your mind into real, existing things.

From as small as a Medicinal Pill or a Secret Manual, to as large as a Divine Ability, a pocket dimension, or even an entire world.

Not only that, but the talent "Boundless Creation" could also help you break through the inherent limits of any martial arts Cultivation Technique.

It freed you from the shackles of your Realm, allowing you to continuously improve as long as you kept practicing, without end.

"This is simply a combination of Heavenly Dao rewards diligence and turning the fake into reality, even with some enhancements!"

You felt that no matter how much of a Trash someone was, possessing this talent would sooner or later make them take off.

You had to know, some Protagonists in the novels from your past life had Aptitude for Cultivation in the early stages that was even worse than ordinary people.

Even so, they were able to reach the Peak relying solely on a talent for Heavenly Dao rewards diligence.

Not to mention you, a martial arts Genius who entered the ranks in one day.

At this thought, a trace of complex melancholy inexplicably welled up in your heart.

You knew that from now on, the many obstacles on the martial arts path that ordinary people had to face—Bottlenecks, Cultivation Techniques, martial arts—would cease to exist for you.

You would never again experience the joy of an ordinary person climbing to the Peak of martial arts step by step.

After composing your thoughts, you decided to first practically verify the ability of Creation Energy to condense items.

And the thing you chose to condense was the few Blood Qi Pills you had consumed this morning.

You concentrated your mind, carefully sketching out the form, medicinal efficacy, and even that familiar warm scent of the Blood Qi Pill in your heart, then triggered that trace of Creation Energy within your body.

The process was unexpectedly smooth. You could feel that trace of gentle energy flowing out from your body, slowly condensing and shaping in your palm, as if a pair of invisible hands were creating it according to your will.

Finally, after exhausting all the Creation Energy accumulated throughout the entire day.

On your bed, thirty round, plump, and dark red Blood Qi Pills appeared neatly, with medicinal Aura swirling around them, exactly the same as in your memory.

"It truly lives up to the name 'Creation'; this conversion efficiency is seriously awesome!" You picked up one of the newly created Blood Qi Pills to examine it closely, your eyes shining with excitement.

You didn't expect that just that tiny bit of Creation Energy could produce thirty Blood Qi Pills.

Looking at it this way, in the future, you wouldn't even need to deliberately collect resources.

You only needed to Cultivate and live as usual every day, and you would be able to rely on the naturally accumulated Creation Energy to continuously derive the resources needed for Cultivation.

Of course, it might also be that the Blood Qi Pill was too basic and didn't consume much Creation Energy; wanting to condense some high-end items would likely require consuming more Creation Energy.

But regardless, Creation Energy was an extremely Heaven-Defying thing.

Very quickly, ten days passed by like a white horse passing a crevice, quietly slipping away.

On this day, before dawn, when all sounds were silent, you sat cross-legged alone on the bed in the quiet room, eyes slightly closed, your Aura deep and concentrated.

Between each inhalation and exhalation, the rhythm was slow and long, as if faintly in harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth.

With the rise and fall of your breathing, the Qi and blood in your body surged repeatedly like tides, vibrating your skin, flesh, and tendons over and over again, emitting a barely audible hum.

Gradually, the speed at which the Qi and blood surged in your body became faster and faster, and a wave of heat and tightness came from the surface of your skin. You knew that you had touched that critical Bottleneck.

At this very moment, the skin all over your body suddenly bloomed with a steady and heavy luster. That luster was not as dazzling as gold or silver, but resembled brass polished by time, containing an indestructible texture.

As the light flowed, you clearly felt that your skin had become extremely dense. Even Sharp Weapons forged from hundred-refined fine iron could hardly injure it in the slightest. This was the martial arts phenomenon "Bronze Skin"!

You were not prepared to tell anyone about your Breakthrough.

As a Transmigrator from Earth, you naturally understood the danger of standing out.

As far as you knew, looking through the long history of the entire Great Yong Dynasty, it was not rare to find figures capable of entering the ranks in one day and being hailed as peerless Geniuses.

But no one had ever been able to break through from the initial Ninth Realm all the way to the Peak of the Ninth Realm within a short ten days, and even condense the Bronze Skin phenomenon.

On the path of martial arts, being one step ahead makes one a Genius, being three steps ahead earns the title of Prodigy, but if you are a hundred steps ahead... I'm afraid that's just asking to be a target.

Then, with a thought, the surging power of Qi and blood all over your body quickly receded like a retreating tide.

In just a moment, the intensity of your externalized Qi and blood fell back to a level slightly higher than when you had just broken through to the Ninth Realm. Your Aura was calm and simple, no longer possessing the aggressive Aura from before.

This breath-concealment technique was exactly the result of your research over these ten days.

During these days, apart from your daily Cultivation, you spent all your remaining time going back and forth to the Lin family's Scripture Pavilion.

In the Scripture Pavilion, besides flipping through various martial arts classics, you specifically sought out all Cultivation Techniques and secret arts related to breath concealment and Qi hiding.

All the relevant classics stored on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, whether shallow or profound, were read through and thoroughly scrutinized by you one by one.

Afterward, using these martial arts as a Foundation, you mobilized the profound Creation Energy within your body and, according to your own understanding and imagination of breath concealment, derived a more exquisite and systematic breath-concealment Cultivation Technique out of thin air.

This new Cultivation Technique, born from many breath-concealment arts, was named by you as the "Mortal Transformation Art".

Operating this technique, your body's Qi and blood and Realm characteristics could be hidden without being released. Not to mention Martial Artists of the lower three Realms, even when facing experts of the middle three Realms, they might not be able to see through your true cultivation, and this was only a conservative estimate.

After all, in the martial arts System of the Great Yong Dynasty, almost all specialties were focused on self-preservation and combat.

Martial Artists of the lower three Realms and even the middle three Realms Cultivate the Physical Body and True Qi; they only have martial arts willpower, but do not have the magical Divine Sense found in cultivator novels.

Martial Artists need to reach the upper three Realms to Cultivate the Divine Soul.

Therefore, most Martial Artists below the upper three Realms judge a person's Realm based on the intensity of their Qi and blood and the Realm characteristics on their body.
