This secret was heard by Ye Chen from the pavilion master.
The pavilion master was one of the practitioners of the Crane Shadow Steps. According to him, with his peak-level Early Clasping Yuan Realm cultivation, if he performed the Crane Shadow Steps with all his strength, he could reach two hundred meters in one leap, which was more than half the speed of sound.
However, even the pavilion master could not fully understand the essence of the Crane Shadow Steps, so he had to train a low rank Earth Realm movement art called the Flowing Light Movement Art, which allowed him to travel up to two hundred and fifty meters in a blink of an eye, which was fifty meters faster than the Crane Shadow Steps.
"Two hundred and fifty meters, more than three times of mine." Ye Chen thought that he was very good at movement art. He could travel seventy to eighty meters in a blink of an eye, and normal Mortal Realm warriors would not even be able to see his shadow. However, compared to the pavilion master, the difference was obvious. If the pavilion master wanted to kill Ye Chen, it would only take him one attack.
Forcing a laugh, Ye Chen knew that he was biting off more than he could chew. What kind of cultivation did the pavilion master have, and what kind of cultivation did he have? The two could not be compared at all. Once he reached the Clasping Yuan Realm, two hundred and fifty meters might not be that shocking anymore.
Without further ado, Ye Chen took out the Crane Shadow Steps manual from his storage ring and started to read from the first page.
There were three key points to training the Crane Shadow Steps. The first was the body movement, the second was the Qi flow, and the third was the mentality. The body movement and the Qi flow were not that important, but the mentality was the key. The practitioner had to imagine that they were one with the crane, that they were one with the crane, that they could activate the mysterious potential in their body and increase their speed to a new level.
It sounded easy. Wasn't it just fantasizing? Anyone with a bit of imagination could do it. However, fantasizing was just fantasizing. There were very, very few people who could really stimulate the potential in their bodies. There was less than one in ten thousand, and there might not even be one in a hundred thousand.
It should be known that the human body was one of the most complicated objects in the world. Its mysteries could not be seen through in one's entire life. Only the fifth great realm of martial artists, the Spirit Ocean Realm, could see the surface of it, understand some of the rules of birth, aging, sickness, and death, and apply it to themselves to slow down the aging process, living for hundreds of years. One more step would be the sixth great realm of martial artists, the Life and Death Realm. Martial artists could completely stimulate the potential of the human body, reverse life and death, and break through the limit of life allowed by the world, living for more than a thousand years. However, once one reached this realm, with every increase in cultivation, he would have to endure the heavenly punishment, such as the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, the Wind and Fire Tribulation, or the Yuan Spirit Tribulation. Each tribulation had countless changes, and each change was divided into different levels. After passing through, one could continue to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, preparing to step into the legendary seventh great realm of martial artists.
Xu King, Xuanhou, the Evil King, and the Dragon King were all martial artists who had stepped into the Life and Death Realm. They had a lifespan of a thousand years, and the potential in their bodies had been fully unleashed. If they were to learn the Crane Shadow Steps, they would be able to master it without much effort. Unfortunately, with their status and power, they would not be interested in the Crane Shadow Steps manual. Perhaps even a thousand years old spirit crane was nothing in their eyes.
Of course, stimulating one's potential was only one of the profound mysteries of the human body. It was not the whole thing. After a thousand years, one would still die completely.
Let's not talk about this for now.
Ye Chen let out a sigh when he thought about how to stimulate the potential of the human body. Although he only needed a tiny bit of it, he still sighed. No wonder so many people couldn't understand the essence of the Crane Shadow Steps. After all, they had never seen a spirit crane before, so how could they understand the habits and concept of a spirit crane?
Whatever, even without the spiritual perspective of the Spirit Crane, the Crane Shadow Steps was still one of the best Top Rank Mortal Realm Movement Art. A lot of people wanted to learn it but couldn't.
After the slight disappointment, Ye Chen's fighting spirit was reignited. The first thing he needed to do was to master the Crane Shadow Steps to its peak. Everything else could wait.
…
It was said that there was no sun or moon in the mountains, and it was not a lie at all!
A month's time had passed while Ye Chen was diligently practicing the Crane Shadow Steps. Maybe it was because the Crane Shadow Steps could stimulate one's potential, or maybe it was because hardworking people tended to grow faster, but Ye Chen, who was only fifteen years old, had grown from 1.7 meters to 1.75 meters. Although he was a little skinny, he did not look skinny at all when he took off his clothes. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the muscles on his arms and chest were extremely strong. Just by standing there, he had an awe-inspiring aura.
After a month of training, Ye Chen had completely mastered the Crane Shadow Steps. His Pure Jun Zhen Qi had also reached the peak of the sixth stage, and his protective Qi layer had turned from transparent to light green.
Now, he could just casually use the Crane Shadow Steps to fly to the sea of clouds on the other side of the cliff, and then use his protective Qi layer to cut open a path, then turn back. It was as if he had really turned into a Spirit Crane, and the gravity could no longer restrict his body.
"Now, I can reach a hundred meters in one leap, and with the protective Qi layer on the outside and the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell on the inside, my power has almost doubled. If I meet that Cui Shiming again, I should be able to beat him within three attacks. But he is only a normal Mid Condensing Reality Realm warrior, he is not a genius, and most of his martial skills have not been mastered yet, so they are not worth mentioning. If I meet a Peak Early Condensing Reality Realm warrior who has mastered a few martial skills, it would still be very difficult for me to beat him. Too bad I don't have the chance to test it out, otherwise I would know what my real power level is, and what my limit is."
Ye Chen calculated in his mind, but he was still not sure.
He thought of himself as a genius, but the True Spirit Continent did not lack geniuses. Before him, there was Xuanhou, who had reached the Life and Death Realm at the age of ten, and was on the same level as Xu King. After him, there were the top four childes of the Windy Nation. They were called the top four childes because they were talented in all aspects, otherwise, it would be hard to convince the public.
Of course, Ye Chen only admired the top four childes of the Windy Nation, but it was not enough to move him. The Windy Nation was only a small nation in the South Zhuo Region, and there were twenty-four small nations in the South Zhuo Region, ten medium sized nations, and three large nations. Even a small nation like the Windy Nation had people like the top four childes, it was not hard to imagine how powerful the other nations that were bigger than the Windy Nation would be.
Not to mention the others, the Rudra Nation, which was right next to the Windy Nation, did not take the Windy Nation seriously at all. They often sent out soldiers to harass the borders of the Windy Nation, or asked their soldiers to dress up as bandits to rob the caravans of the Windy Nation.
Besides the national power, the Rudra Nation had always been full of geniuses. Sometimes, they even had more geniuses than most of the small nations, and could even be compared with the medium sized nations.
If it were not for the top four childes, the Windy Nation would have already become a laughing stock.
Dang, Dang, Dang …
Right then, a series of bell ringing came from the middle of the Windy Mountain, shaking hundreds of miles.
Ye Chen's eyebrows twitched. In the Sky Cloud Martial School, only the Floating Cloud Palace would ring the bell. For example, during the inner disciple exam, it did not count as ringing the bell, it was just smashing the bell. There was a huge difference between the two.
'There must be a lot of missions from the school. No matter what, I have to go check it out first!'
His body blurred, and the next second, Ye Chen had already flown to a big tree a hundred meters away. He flashed a couple of times, then disappeared without a trace.
