Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

"This is an Inheritance Crystal Stone,"

"I have already branded these two Martial Techniques into it."

"Pour your Spiritual Sense inside, and you can learn them!"

The phantom of the white-robed middle-aged man spoke, his voice deep and heavy.

Hearing this,

Gu Yun understood.

He reached out and placed his hand on one of the Inheritance Crystal Stones, a sphere that radiated a brilliant light. At the same time, his Spiritual Sense poured into it!

BOOM!

In an instant, the space before him shattered violently,

like a broken screen,

and he entered a vast, blank consciousness space.

Amidst flickering light, the phantom of the white-robed middle-aged man stood tall above this boundless, empty space.

"Young man,"

"watch closely!"

"This is Dragon Moving Nine Heavens."

"I shall demonstrate it for you once!"

His majestic, powerful voice echoed throughout the world.

As the phantom’s words fell,

his entire body instantly erupted with an endless, radiant glow.

ROAR!

A clear dragon’s roar that pierced through space resounded between heaven and earth.

A surge of golden light, like a peal of thunder, exploded across a thousand miles of void, painting it in incomparably brilliant colors.

The next instant,

a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, so vast it blotted out the sky and sun, appeared above the Nine Heavens. It was wreathed in a mist of golden clouds, as if it had traversed the boundless cosmic void

to descend upon this world from beyond the universe!

CRACK! CRACK!!

Amidst a continuous series of shattering sounds,

the sky fractured!!

The next instant,

the magnificent Five-Clawed Golden Dragon let out a roar that annihilated the Void Celestial,

then, carrying an incomparably tyrannical force, it soared thousands of miles in a single leap.

Everywhere it passed, space shattered like glass.

A dark, endless abyss, thousands of miles long, was torn open in the firmament,

as if the entire world was being violently broken apart!!

’This... this is too much!’

Gazing at the gaping, dark abyss that stretched for thousands of miles across the sky, Gu Yun was profoundly shaken!

Then,

Gu Yun closed his eyes,

carefully comprehending the essence of this move.

After a long while,

a line of text appeared on his Skill Level panel.

[While receiving an expert’s inheritance, you have comprehended the Divine Ability Dragon Moving Nine Heavens. Soar like a dragon, tread upon the Nine Heavens, shatter the firmament. You have successfully comprehended Dragon Moving Nine Heavens.]

[Dragon Moving Nine Heavens (Beginner 1%)]

When Gu Yun slowly opened his eyes, he had already left that empty and vast consciousness space.

The spherical crystal floating in front of him shattered, its light dimming before it dissipated into the world.

Gu Yun paid it no mind, for the inheritance from this crystal was now fully branded in his mind, successfully comprehended.

He then turned his gaze to the other spherical Inheritance Crystal Stone, which was still radiating a brilliant light.

Without much hesitation, he placed a hand upon it, his Spiritual Sense once again pouring in.

BOOM!!

Space shattered once more,

and he entered that vast, empty consciousness space.

Within this boundless, empty space,

the white-robed phantom standing atop the firmament was now demonstrating the Taiyi Thunder Technique.

RUMBLE!

A blinding, dazzling light

suddenly tore the world asunder.

That bolt of thunder was like the very first ray of light at the dawn of creation,

piercing through endless darkness, suppressing all other colors in the entire space!

Immediately after,

streaks of lightning appeared in the air—the ultimate thunder, as if poised to rip apart the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!!

The entire sky

was now filled with bolts of lightning, each containing ultimate power.

It was as though an ocean of thunder had descended upon the mortal world.

Every bolt of Taiyi Thunder possessed the terrifying power to tear open the vacuum and pulverize chaos!!

’This... this is just too strong!!’

Gu Yun stared intently at the endless, ultimate lightning in the sky.

He couldn’t help but sigh with admiration in his heart.

Once again, his understanding of the Divine Power possessed by a Tongxuan True Monarch had been completely overturned.

Then, he closed his eyes,

carefully comprehending the essence of this move.

A long time later,

[While receiving an expert’s inheritance, you have successfully comprehended the Divine Skill Taiyin Thunder Technique. Shatter the firmament with thunder, mete out punishment upon heaven and earth. You have successfully comprehended the Taiyi Thunder Technique.]

[Taiyi Thunder Technique (Beginner 1%)]

Gu Yun opened his eyes. The world spun around him, and he was already out of the vast, empty inheritance space.

The spherical crystal before him dimmed, then shattered, annihilating and dissipating in mid-air.

"It seems you have successfully comprehended those two Techniques."

"In that case,"

"it is time for me to depart."

A trace of gratification appeared in the eyes of the white-robed middle-aged phantom, who was wreathed in a misty glow.

’I didn’t expect’

’to encounter such a talented junior from the Sect’

’before I completely faded away.’

’I hope... he can grow to his full potential!’

’Time... is perhaps running out.’

The next moment,

the phantom of the white-robed middle-aged man began to fade,

until at last, he completely vanished into the air.

Standing in the void, Gu Yun cupped his hands to see him off,

a look of respect in his eyes.

Witnessing this scene, he was overcome by a wave of complex emotions.

Even a Tongxuan Realm expert, with heaven-reaching Magical Power and a lifespan of eight hundred years,

would one day fade completely from the world.

For some reason,

a sense of sorrow rose in Gu Yun’s heart.

Even the titans of the Unity Realm, with lifespans of three thousand years,

were considered top-tier experts across the entire Celestial Essence Realm.

If they used some extremely precious and rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine,

combined with certain Forbidden Techniques, a Unity Realm titan could even live for four or five thousand years!

But so what.....

In the grand, flowing river of time,

they were but a drop in the ocean, unable to make even the slightest splash!

So,

did beings who enjoyed eternal life, who stood above the river of time,

who could cross vast galaxies and traverse the heavens and the Ten Thousand Realms with a single thought, truly exist?

Maybe, maybe not...

Gu Yun didn’t know.

He had just witnessed the complete dissipation of a Tongxuan True Monarch,

and it had suddenly given him a moment of reflection.

’Who cares about all that!’

’The longest road lies at my own feet!’

’The highest peak is myself!’

He could only press forward, one steady step at a time, constantly improving, scaling one high mountain after another, ceaselessly breaking through his own limits.

Perhaps one day, he truly could become a supreme expert, one who stood above the river of time!

With this epiphany, an extremely majestic momentum surged from him.

Gu Yun slowly opened his deep, incomparably resolute eyes,

which now shone with a determination as firm as a bedrock, impossible to shake.

It was like a bolt of lightning streaking across a dim sky,

tearing through the boundless darkness and radiating a light more brilliant than ever before!

The next instant,

Gu Yun took a single step, sending out layers of ripples like those on water.

His figure, like a flash of lightning, suddenly crossed dozens of miles, passed through the spatial vortex left by the middle-aged white-robed phantom, and departed from this space.

...

The world spun around him.

Gu Yun was once again back in the valley where the towering ancient trees grew lushly, surrounded by flourishing grasses.

Light green moss spread over the rubble, and countless vines as thick as arms twisted and intertwined.

The sunlight from above was blocked by the branches and leaves of the towering ancient trees.

The entire valley was incredibly quiet.

[’Boss,’]

[’we’re finally out.’]

[’It’s so much more comfortable here!’]

[’That phantom was terrifying,’]

[’just like that other one we ran into!’]

The moment he was out, sensing the rich and vibrant aura of the Tongmu Secret Realm,

the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon immediately sent a message into Gu Yun’s mind.

"You mean Jiang Qingfeng?"

"Damn it!"

"I swear I’ll kill that old dog!!"

As if recalling some horrible memory,

Gu Yun’s frigid voice suddenly caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.

Then, his figure abruptly vanished,

transforming into a streak of lightning that disappeared over the horizon.

...

At this very moment,

within the Eastern Profound Domain,

tens of millions of miles away in the Northern Territory,

in a certain city of the Celestial Capital Dynasty,

the sky was filled with blood. There was not a single living person in the city.

Blood Evil surged into the body of a middle-aged man with a stern, square face, who was clad in a black Profound Robe and wreathed in a misty glow high in the sky.

A mere wisp of the Heaven and Earth Dao Rhythm that he unintentionally radiated was enough to cause the surrounding space to shatter and collapse—an incredibly terrifying sight!!

A hint of delight appeared on Jiang Qingfeng’s deep-eyed, placid face.

’As expected of the Heaven-Reaching Blood God Technique from the Original Blood Stele!’

’Just by devouring the vital essence and blood of several million people in one city,’

’my Cultivation, which hasn’t budged in a hundred years, has actually progressed quite a bit!’

Feeling the heaven-reaching Magical Power within his body, a look of satisfaction appeared on Jiang Qingfeng’s face.

At this rate, it might not be long before he could break through to the Tongxuan Realm Middle Stage!

When that time came,

the first thing he would do was slaughter that old scoundrel from Great Yan!!

And if he happened to run into that kid who had somehow survived his attack,

he would just casually erase him.

As for being afraid of provoking the Profound Celestial Sect?

Hmph!

At worst, he could just leave the Eastern Profound Domain.

With his strength,

in a world so vast, where could he not go?!

At this thought,

a cold glint flashed in Jiang Qingfeng’s eyes.

He unintentionally released a bit of his terrifying Heaven and Earth Dao Rhythm,

causing the surrounding space to vaguely twist, even revealing glimpses of the endless, dark abyss of the void!!
