On the second floor of the Pavilion of Martial Arts.
Ye Chen picked up all the manuals one by one and put them back.
These manuals were actually quite good, they all had their own strengths. For example, some could recover Qi fast, which was good for prolonged battles; some could explode Zhen Qi, which was good for quick fights; some were good for defense, which was good for warriors who liked to fight head-on; and some had special effects, such as the Mysterious Heavy Qi Field of the [Art of Martial Arts], or the [Art of Grafting].
All in all, none of the manuals that could reach the top rank Mortal Realm were useless.
Seeing that he was about to go through all the manuals on the second floor, Ye Chen finally found one that he was very satisfied with.
"Pure Jun Zhen Qi, a top rank Mortal Realm martial art, divided into seven stages. According to the legends, it was the exclusive martial art of the Clear Stream Sword School two thousand years ago. The first four stages focused on training Zhen Qi, which could create sharpness; the fifth stage could create Qi light, which could kill people within ten steps; the sixth stage could go one step further, creating a protective Qi light, which could attack and defend at the same time. The highest stage was the seventh stage, where all of the Zhen Qi in one's body could be combined into one, and one could create Qi swords with just a wave of one's hand, which could injure people from a hundred steps away."
"Great, this is it." Ye Chen felt that there was no need to keep searching, this Pure Jun Zhen Qi was definitely a good fit for him.
After deciding on the martial art, the next step was the flying art.
The Golden Swallow Art was only a high rank Mortal Realm martial art, but even Ye Chen did not dare to ignore it. In other words, if he did not have the Golden Swallow Art, his only trump card would be his physical strength, but he did not want to reveal too much about the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell.
Now that there was an opportunity to choose a top rank Mortal Realm flying art, Ye Chen would not let it go.
[Moving Shadows]!
[Flying Wind Spell]!
[Seven Star Cloud Flying Art]!
[Crane Shadow Steps]!
All kinds of movement art manuals appeared in front of Ye Chen's eyes, he was almost dazzled by them.
[Shifting Shadows], as the name suggests, allows one to shift one's body in a very short period of time to confuse the enemy's eyes and ears. [Wind Riding Art] allows the cultivator's body to become light and strong, as fast as the wind. [Seven Star Cloud Soaring Art] allows the cultivator to step on the Seven Stars, allowing the cultivator to travel a thousand miles. [Crane Shadow Steps] allows the cultivator to disappear without a trace.
It didn't take long for Ye Chen to choose the Crane Shadow Steps, just like how he chose the Golden Swallow Skill.
Finally, Ye Chen picked out a fist art manual. As for the sword art, he did not need it for now. The Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords was more than enough, since the complete Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords was also a top rank Mortal Realm martial art.
After leaving the Martial Skill Pavilion, Ye Chen went straight back to his courtyard.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Early in the morning, a thin mist shrouded half of the Breeze Mountain.
On a remote cliff, hissing sounds could be heard without end, dense and rapid.
A gust of wind blew past, and the mist became thinner. A human figure could be vaguely seen standing there. In front of him was a huge rock, three meters tall, and had a black color.
The sound came from the human figure. If you looked closely, you would find that the mist around him could not even get within three feet of him, as if there was an invisible Qi shield around him. Not only that, all the mist that got close to him was shredded into strands and strands. At first glance, it looked like the steam from boiling water.
The human figure was, of course, Ye Chen. Right now, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was using all of his Pure Jun Zhen Qi.
After a long time, Ye Chen moved!
With a wave of his hand, an invisible Qi light flew out of his hand and landed on the huge rock.
Poof!
Stone chips flew everywhere, and a half foot long mark appeared on the surface of the huge rock. The edge of the mark was as sharp as a knife.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The first Qi ray was already extraordinarily swift and fierce, but the following Qi rays were even more powerful. Every one of them was narrow and sharp, curved like a knife, and slashed at the huge rock, cutting out countless crisscrossing cracks, it was a ghastly sight.
"Zhen Qi like a blade, is this the sixth level of Pure Jun Zhen Qi?"
Looking at the scarred boulder, Ye Chen felt a little emotional. Half a year ago, his full strength attack was only this powerful, but now, he could casually send out dozens or even hundreds of them, and still have strength left over. If this dense Qi Aura hit a human body, they would be minced into meat paste.
Intending to test the power of the qi light, Ye Chen took a deep breath and straightened his right hand like a blade, waving it in the air.
Ka-cha!
In the blink of an eye, the huge rock was pierced through, and a hair-thin crack quickly spread out.
At the same time, Ye Chen walked towards the boulder.
When the distance between the two was less than three feet, the surface of the giant rock slowly caved in, and the dark brown stone powder sputtered out in a spiral shape, covering the ground.
A moment later, Ye Chen was almost pressed against the rock.
When he stepped back and left, he saw an oval depression on the surface of the huge rock. The surface was smooth and exquisite as if it had been meticulously polished.
"Good, this protective Qi Aura is amazing!"
Ye Chen let out a sigh. The so-called Qi light was actually made up of countless sharp air currents. Any object that got close to it would be shattered into pieces. If one's Zhen Qi cultivation reached a certain level, even a well-tempered weapon would not be able to get close to it, and would be shattered into pieces.
However, it was not easy to train to the sixth level of Pure Jun Zhen Qi. In the past one and a half months, Ye Chen had trained his Zhen Qi for a total of one hundred and eight times. After every training, he would break it again and again. Every time, he would be exhausted and sweating profusely.
Of course, it was all worth it. The power of the Pure Jun Zhen Qi had already been demonstrated, it was way more powerful than most of the Zhen Qi, and it was only at the sixth level. If he could train it to the seventh level, he would be able to use his Zhen Qi to create Qi swords. By then, he would be able to kill his enemies from hundreds of steps away, which was way more powerful than any other martial skill.
Unfortunately, the more powerful a martial art was, the harder it was to train it. Although Ye Chen's comprehensive ability was already on the top, he was not confident that he could reach the seventh level in a short period of time, not to mention the peak of the seventh level, the completed Pure Jun Zhen Qi.
"I should train the Crane Shadow Steps first."
According to the rumors, there was a huge mountain in the west of the true spirit continent. There were thousands of years old spirit cranes living on the mountain. The wingspan of the spirit cranes was more than a hundred meters, covering the whole sky. Every time it flew over the forest, a large number of trees would be broken. When it flew over the ocean, the waves would be hundreds of meters high, and when it flew over the desert, countless sandstorms would appear and drown everything.
The thousand years old spirit cranes were not demonic beasts. Some people said they were divine birds, while others said they were rare species that were raised by powerful ancient martial artists. All kinds of rumors added to the mystery of the spirit cranes. Therefore, every year, a lot of people would travel to the west of the true spirit continent, hoping to catch a glimpse of the spirit cranes.
Whether it was true or not, the thousand years old spirit cranes had been around for thousands of years, that was why they were called the spirit cranes.
Two hundred years ago, a flying artist came to the west of the true spirit continent from thousands of miles away just like other people. After waiting for years, he finally saw the spirit cranes. Although the wingspan of the spirit cranes was less than thirty meters, it was still very magical. It could easily tear a small mountain apart with its claws, and when it jumped, it was impossible for the naked eye to follow it. With one leap, it could travel ten miles.
After being amazed, the flying artist spent years observing the spirit cranes' movements every day, and finally created a powerful flying art.
This flying art was called the Crane Shadow Steps.
However, no one had ever seen the spirit cranes before, so they could not bring out the essence of the Crane Shadow Steps. This caused the Crane Shadow Steps to decline, and eventually, it dropped to the top rank Mortal Realm.
Coincidentally, the Crane Shadow Steps manual was found by an inner elder of the Sky Cloud Martial School, and was stored in the Martial Skill Pavilion for his disciples to practice.
