35: Chapter 35 Ten Thousand Years!

"System, consume 100,000 balance to exchange for 100,000 years of Cultivation time, and Cultivate the Cangxuan Qi-Condensing Art!"

Buzz!!!

An invisible aura exploded outward with Chen An at its center. The airflow in the room churned wildly, and the Origin Qi within a radius of several dozen li surged toward his body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, roaring and rushing.

The dense Spiritual Qi transformed into a vast white mist, wrapping and shrouding his entire being layer by layer.

Time seemed to fly by in this space: one year, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years...

Endless Origin Qi was absorbed, refined, and purified by his Physical Body. Strands of extremely pure energy continuously settled, transforming into wisps of thick, condensed Innate True Qi, flowing into his Dantian Qi Sea.

In real time, after about a quarter of an hour!

[Ding!]

[100,000 years of Cultivation time consumed, Cultivation of Cangxuan Qi-Condensing Art complete!]

The surging Origin Qi around him suddenly paused, then retreated in all directions like a receding tide, restoring calm.

Chen An slowly opened his eyes. His gaze instantly became distant and vast, calm and deep, as if he had personally experienced the vicissitudes of ten thousand ancient ages.

At the same instant, two brilliant, sharp silver beams of divine light erupted from his eyes, solid as substance, tearing through the air.

With a soft swish, the divine light, like invisible arrows, tore through the void in front of him and slammed heavily into the wall of the room.

With two slight muffled thuds, the hard wall was instantly pierced through, revealing two neat, transparent holes with smooth, clean edges, shining like mirrors.

Immediately afterward, Chen An's whole body shuddered violently, and a majestic, terrifying martial aura suddenly erupted from within him, shooting into the sky.

The surrounding air suddenly froze, and the entire space faintly rippled with visible distortions.

In the next instant, a white wave of air exploded like a thunderous shockwave, sweeping in all directions with him at the center. The tables, chairs, wooden racks, and objects in the room were instantly sent flying by the violent energy, smashing against the four walls and scattering in pieces.

The powerful aftershock burst through the door and swept across the courtyard. The entire compound shook violently; the bluestone on the ground vibrated, and all the plants in the yard were pressed flat by the gale. Rolling waves of air surged into the sky, like an apocalyptic disaster.

"Oh no!!!"

Coming to his senses and feeling the changes around him, Chen An hurriedly focused his mind, retracting the incredibly thick Innate True Qi within his body.

The surging, restless True Qi returned like a tide to the sea, flowing rapidly back through his Meridians and sinking completely into his Dantian Qi Sea. The terrifying aura that had been sweeping across the area receded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The tremors in the courtyard slowly ceased, the plants pressed down by the gale slowly straightened, and the debris flying around the room lost the support of the wind, clattering to the floor.

In an instant, the surroundings returned to silence, as if the earth-shattering power from just moments ago had never appeared.

"Whew!!"

"That was almost a disaster!!!"

Only after pressing all the Innate True Qi back into his Dantian did Chen An breathe a long sigh of relief.

If he hadn't reined in his Innate True Qi just now and had let this full Grandmaster Realm Perfection cultivation explode, he feared half the county town would have been reduced to ruins, just like the Bai family.

The reason for what happened just now wasn't that he had suddenly broken through from the Early Stage of the Grandmaster Realm to Perfection and was unable to control the surging Innate True Qi in his body.

After all, his Innate True Qi was obtained through the System's Cultivation, so his Foundation was incredibly solid; there was no issue of an unstable Realm or inability to control it.

It was because he had suddenly broken through to Grandmaster Realm Perfection, causing his Perfection-level Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique to no longer be able to lock in the immensely vast Innate True Qi within his body, rendering the Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique ineffective and causing his cultivation to suddenly leak out.

"It seems it is time to deduce the Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique!" Chen An thought to himself.

In fact, he had already felt that the Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique was no longer sufficient, and he had intended to continue deducing it, but subsequent events had delayed him.

The breath-concealing technique was crucial for him now; otherwise, if he were to go out with his current cultivation—a seventeen-year-old Grandmaster Realm Perfection Martial Artist—it would definitely cause an uproar and attract the covetous eyes of countless experts.

"System, consume 1,000 yuan crystals to deduce the Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique!"

[Ding! System activated!]

[1,000 years of Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique deduction experience beginning to be distributed...]

Buzz!!!

Chen An felt his mind shake, and immediately afterward, countless memories regarding the deduction of the Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique flooded into his mind.

Ten seconds later!

Chen An came back to his senses and reviewed the brand-new Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique deduced in his mind, his brows knitting slightly.

The deduction of the secret technique was much harder than he had expected; even though he had spent 1,000 years deducing it, he had only managed to derive a breath-concealing technique that was roughly at the Profound Rank Peak.

Although the brand-new Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique could barely conceal his current aura, if someone with cultivation exceeding a Great Grandmaster were to look, they would still be able to see some clues.

"This won't do, this isn't safe enough!"

Chen An's gaze hardened, and he immediately stopped hesitating, shouting inwardly:

"System, consume 4,000 yuan crystals to continue deducing the Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique!"

[Ding! System activated!]

[4,000 years of Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique deduction experience beginning to be distributed...]

Buzz!!!

In Chen An's Sea of Consciousness, the Black Tortoise Breath-Concealing Technique that had already been perfected was once again dismantled, then reconstructed and sublimated.

About twenty seconds later!

Chen An opened his eyes, a wisp of silver light seeming to flash and vanish within his pupils.

"Let's test it!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen An circulated the brand-new breath-concealing Cultivation Technique he had just deduced.

The next moment, Chen An felt the Innate True Qi within him, which was as heavy as a mountain, as well as his terrifying blood energy and Physical Body strength—which had surpassed the Acquired Realm and Innate Realm to reach Grandmaster Realm Perfection—all being sealed away by an invisible force.

In an instant, he had transformed from a Grandmaster Realm Perfection expert who could dominate Wurong County into an ordinary person who appeared to have absolutely no power, unable to even truss a chicken.

Even the Concept on his person was completely restrained deep within his mind.

At this moment, even if a Martial King Realm Martial Artist were standing in front of him, they would not be able to see a single trace of his background.

"Good!!!"

Feeling the changes in his body, a smile couldn't help but appear on Chen An's face; he was quite satisfied with the newly deduced Cultivation Technique.

The brand-new breath-concealing technique, deduced this time after spending 5,000 years, had reached roughly the Earth Rank Peak.

In addition to concealing his aura, it had even managed to deduce the effect of concealing the fluctuations of his consciousness and even his Divine Soul power.

"From now on, let's call it the Spirit-Restraining Technique!" Chen An gave this newly deduced breath-concealing secret technique a concise and comprehensive new name.

...

In the north of the city, inside an imposing three-courtyard residence.

Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly exploded; a hard bluestone table in the courtyard shattered instantly in response, with gravel and stone chips flying everywhere and scattering all over the ground.

The passing servants were frightened pale by the sound, their bodies trembling slightly. Everyone was terrified, not daring to even breathe loudly, keeping their heads low and staying far away, not daring to approach.

In the courtyard, Instructor Liu Zhixing's face was as gloomy as water as he looked at Liu Qingyun in front of him, his tone carrying bone-chilling ruthlessness and killing intent: "Yun'er, tomorrow at the County Exam, if you encounter Chen An, do not hold back. Cripple him for me!"

"Father, don't worry. As long as I meet Chen An, I will definitely kill him!" Liu Qingyun nodded, a flash of resentment passing through his eyes.

If it weren't for Chen An, his father wouldn't have been suspended by the County Academy and might even have been stripped of his position as an Instructor.

Besides that, if those ten students were to join the Jubao Trading Firm this time, not only could the father and son receive a benefit of 1,000 yuan crystals, but they could also extract a kickback of 300 yuan crystals from those ten students every month.

With this sum of yuan crystals, he would be able to buy a Third-Rank Breakthrough Pill, and then he would be able to break through the Acquired Realm.

"Chen An, you deserve to die!!!"
