The reason why the Yuehua School placed the Twelve Golden Lotus Arts behind the wooden door was probably because they were afraid that more talented inner disciples would accidentally practice it.
After all, generally speaking, disciples who had just entered the Inner Sect would not choose this kind of martial art that was difficult to cultivate. Moreover, it had extremely high requirements and was extremely dangerous.
Breaking through to the Transcendent Realm was not easy. If one failed, all their previous efforts would be wasted. The price was a bit too high.
After studying it carefully, Ling Xiao discovered that the Twelve Golden Lotus Arts had two characteristics.
The first one was similar to most Inner Force Cultivation Arts. Every additional lotus petal would increase one's realm by one level. At the same time, it would increase the total quantity and quality of True Qi as well as cultivation. There were a total of twelve levels, which was three levels more than most Inner Force Cultivation Arts.
The second one was a unique attribute. Every additional lotus petal would allow one to borrow the power of a celestial phenomenon. Similarly, there were twelve celestial phenomena.
There was no difference in the power of a celestial phenomenon. As the number of petals increased, the power would continue to increase.
The first level allowed one to comprehend the power of a celestial phenomenon and add it to the Snow Lotus Sword Arts.
The second level of the celestial phenomenon was gradually formed. When used, it would be more obvious and its power would also increase.
The third level of the celestial phenomenon was complete. Its power would increase greatly, and because it could borrow the power of three celestial phenomena, it could be used together. Basically, the Snow Lotus Sword Arts would be invincible among martial arts of the same level.
The fourth level to the sixth level of the celestial phenomenon was gradually formed. Its power would continue to increase, and the celestial phenomenon would become more obvious. When used together, it would produce special effects. For example, wind could cut, thunder could stun, rain could restore True Qi, and lightning could paralyze the opponent.
The seventh level to the eighth level of the celestial phenomenon was gradually formed. The destructive power of the celestial phenomenon was even more terrifying, and the power of the Snow Lotus Sword Arts was even more terrifying.
The ninth level of the celestial phenomenon was complete. Nine celestial phenomena would dance wildly. When used together, one could trigger natural celestial phenomena. The success rate depended on one's Martial Spirit and the weather conditions. Once successful, one could completely disregard all martial artists below the Heaven Realm. Even those who had just entered the Heaven Realm would have to retreat.
The tenth level to the twelfth level did not have a real battle, so its effects were unknown. It was estimated that one could completely trigger the power of a celestial phenomenon and reach the level of killing a Heaven Realm master.
…
Let's not talk about the last three levels for now. Because there was no actual combat test, his speculations might not be reliable. However, just the perfection of the ninth level was already very terrifying.
Once he encountered the right weather and triggered the power of the celestial phenomenon, Ling Xiao would be almost invincible under the Celestial Realm. It was even possible for him to kill his opponent in an instant.
Even Heaven Tier experts would have to avoid such a situation.
An Immemorial Martial Art was indeed an Immemorial Martial Art. Moreover, this Twelve Golden Lotus Arts was created by a crazy person. This kind of terrifying power was definitely not a Gold Grade Rare Grade martial art. Perhaps even a Gold Grade High Grade martial art would not be able to block it.
Could it be a gold grade martial art?
Who knew? In any case, among the Gold grade martial arts, the 《Twelve Golden Lotus Arts》 was definitely the most terrifying, but also the most dangerous.
This could be seen from the fact that hundreds of top geniuses in the Yuehua School had been killed or injured because of this technique.
Only a madman would dare to create such a martial art.
In such a dangerous situation, only a madman would dare to cultivate such a martial art.
Ling Xiao had always felt that he had no foundation and no clan, so he had to go to the extreme. Otherwise, how could he compare to those geniuses from prestigious clans?
Fortunately, he had the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, alchemy skills, and formation skills. Relying on these, he could minimize the risk of cultivating the 《Twelve Golden Lotus Arts》.
After comprehending it, the next step was cultivation.
The first level was to condense the first golden lotus petal and comprehend the power of the celestial phenomenon — wind.
Ling Xiao did not have a wind-type martial spirit, but he had the Mountain and River Martial Spirit.
The Mountain and River Martial Spirit was all-encompassing. It was a world by itself, and it encompassed almost all celestial phenomena. Therefore, to Ling Xiao, comprehending celestial phenomena was not a problem at all.
When cultivating, Ling Xiao simply activated the Mountain and River Martial Spirit.
He did not dare to use it during battle for fear of being seen by others. However, when cultivating, he was not afraid because he did not need to use it. Every cave was protected by a formation. In addition to the interference of the airflow he created, no one would be able to realize that he was using the Mountain and River Martial Spirit.
After all, what he was using was only one of the powers of the Mountain and River Martial Spirit — wind.
At this moment, within the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, a violent wind was raging. The sound of the wind came from the forest, and the sea was constantly being blown by the wind.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Xiao began to cultivate.
With the help of the Martial Spirit, in addition to his outstanding perception and the analytical ability of the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, Ling Xiao had successfully cultivated the first level of the 《Twelve Golden Lotus Arts》 in a mere two hours. In the position of his Dantian, there was an additional golden lotus petal flickering with light.
"Hehe, it seems that my judgment was correct. I have the Mountain and River Martial Spirit. Choosing this 《Twelve Golden Lotus Arts》 is simply a perfect match!"
Although Ling Xiao expected that cultivating it would not be too difficult, after all, he had already cultivated a high-grade Gold Grade Martial Art and had accumulated a lot of experience in cultivating Gold Grade Martial Arts.
But even so, he did not expect it to be so easy.
According to the secret manual, even the person who created this set of martial arts would need at least seven days to cultivate the first level. As for others, it would take at least a few months, at most a few years, or even decades.
Ling Xiao's advantage was his terrifying perception, as well as the Mountain and River Martial Spirit's power of the Heavenly Phenomenon.
This had caused his cultivation speed to be extremely fast. Perhaps even the person who created this set of martial arts would never have thought of it.
The cultivation of the second level was relatively more difficult. This was also in line with the rules of ordinary cultivation techniques. The higher one went, the more difficult it would be to cultivate.
However, this kind of difficulty was also relative.
The second level required the help of the Heavenly Phenomenon power of "thunder".
For Ling Xiao, this was actually even less difficult.
After the Mountain and River Martial Spirit was activated, the weather in the Mountain and River World changed from a violent wind to a thunderstorm.
At the same time, the shadow of a Thunder Bear appeared behind him.
With the help of these two factors, the condensation of the second lotus only took six hours.
This was an advantage, a huge advantage!
At the same time as the condensation of the second lotus petal, Ling Xiao's cultivation also continued to increase. He had already advanced from 20% Half-step Master to 50% Half-step Master. This speed was as fast as flying.
Indeed, a good Internal Strength cultivation method could greatly increase one's cultivation. His judgment was not wrong about this.
The cultivation of the third level was even more difficult. Ling Xiao gave it a try. Because the foundation of the first two levels was not stable, it was very difficult to cultivate successfully. Moreover, there were too many hidden dangers in the cultivation process.
He thought for a while and temporarily stopped cultivating the 《Twelve Golden Lotus Arts》. He separated an avatar to consolidate the results of the first two levels.
