Chapter 90: Blood Heaven Ascension Degree

Kun Dao earth realm.

In a deep mountain old forest, a bird perched on a branch preened its feathers, while beneath the tree an emerald green snake with vertical pupils stared fixedly at it, slowly approaching.

The bird noticed no danger, but after a sudden tremor of the ground, a violent explosion occurred immediately!

Bang!

The bird was frightened into flight, and the snake was shaken to fall to the ground, scrambling away in panic.

Meanwhile.

Not far from the blast epicenter, a hand reached out from the rocks, pushed aside a huge chunk of debris, and a figure shot out from the stone pile!

"Success, Supreme Sage Primordial Classic!"

Yan Buji was overjoyed, feeling the power flowing within his body begin to change in a wondrous direction; this was not merely the change brought about after cultivating the Supreme Sage Primordial Classic, but rather, by using the general outline to fuse the three internal arts into one, an even greater power was born!

"My martial arts talent truly can be relied upon; normal qi intake into the body doesn't work, but training martial arts is truly no problem for me! Hahaha!" Yan Buji laughed a few times, then instantly leapt ten-some meters, landing on the treetop stepping on leaves, looking around.

At this moment, the internal qi born within Yan Buji's body began to show a substantive change; this transformation would let the internal qi shed its mortal form and enter a new level—if I'm not mistaken, he has already cultivated the power used by ancient martial practitioners!

Furthermore, as the general outline operates, the three internal arts from left to right assist the central Supreme Sage Primordial Classic, rushing upward all the way to the niwan; each circuit of the heavenly cycle allows the internal qi to continue being substantiated!

"This should be called true qi, right?"

Although it has substance, it is not a gas.

Yan Buji examined the droplet of internal qi, as large as a cherry, painstakingly accumulated in his dantian; perhaps calling it 'true essence' would be more fitting.

But the problem remains great; Yan Buji also doesn't know whether converting internal qi to true essence is extremely difficult—even after practicing this martial dao profound skill for several months, he managed to condense only a drop of true essence, a speed that is too slow, and he doesn't know when he'll be able to convert all his internal qi.

According to the previous conversion rate, he should be able to condense ten drops of true essence. Moreover, using true essence to operate the martial dao profound skill, he should thereafter produce no internal qi, but directly form true essence.

Including now, Yan Buji can completely use this drop of true essence to accelerate the conversion of internal qi, although it will consume much true essence, but it can also advance the completion of internal qi conversion, which is also acceptable.

Moreover, Yan Buji also discovered that even after mastering this martial dao profound skill, the floral pattern profound skill could operate on its own, as if he could still cultivate another profound skill.

But is there a need for that?

Seems not.

The floral pattern profound skill is quite impressive.

Yan Buji pondered: "I have cultivated the martial dao profound skill, thus counting as a cultivator. Yet this floral pattern profound skill has not been negated by my martial dao profound skill; instead, it remains as before, suggesting that the Profound Accumulation Secret Order holds secrets I have yet to uncover."

But how should this martial dao profound skill be called?

Blood Essence Skill, Guān Tiān Dēng Mó Zhuàng, Supreme Sage Primordial Classic.....

"Let's call it Blood Heaven Ascension Degree."

Taking this name, it's not that Yan Buji randomly chose it.

Blood Essence Skill has accompanied Yan Buji for over twenty years, naturally deserving a character; 'heavenly ascent' and 'sage' replace the 'demon' character, meaning that one day he can ascend to sagehood, but he must surely undergo an extraordinary cultivation.

Each of the three major internal arts occupies one character; the character 'ascend' fits Yan Buji's belief in climbing peaks and never ceasing; 'degree' represents the idea of passing through without wasting.

Blood Heaven Ascension Degree: cultivates qi and blood, cultivates true essence, cultivates spiritual sense; it can be said to be a very comprehensive martial dao profound skill.

Although Yan Buji is unclear how these profound skills are divided in the cultivation world, for him having a steady, comprehensive improvement direction is naturally worth rejoicing.

"Hmm, since that's the case, let's test my current strength!!"

Thinking so, Yan Buji practiced his martial techniques in the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, Yan Buji recalled the series of ancient martial arts he had seen in the underground palace, unconsciously swinging his arms and exerting force with his legs!

"Ha!"

The qi in his chest was tumultuous; accompanied by Yan Buji's shout, the moment his fists and palms swung out, the true essence in his dantian surged outward uncontrollably!

Only see a fist-print palm force, accompanied by the power of true essence, madly surging forward; after destroying who knows how many trees, its residual might undiminished boomed into the mountain body!

Bang!

Boom—!

Yan Buji widened his eyes, looking in shock at the surrounding shattered trees, a scene of utter devastation. These trees seemed to have suffered a massive storm strike, broken branches and leaves scattered everywhere, some even uprooted. What shocked him even more was that on the mountain's surface there were two deep indentations, each sunk a full meter deep! These marks resembled the claw scars of a giant beast, shocking to behold.

The effective killing range has increased by several folds!!

"At this distance, even a Heavenly Human Realm martial artist wishing to maintain invincible power could not unleash it! Indeed, the cultivation path of ancient martial artists can rival that of cultivators!"

Yan Buji's face turned pale, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Hastily holding onto the tree, Yan Buji's face could not suppress its delight.

This is truly the divide between immortal and mortal!

Or perhaps it's also because Blood Heaven Ascension Degree is truly extraordinary; overall, Yan Buji can realize how great his damage is, and in his heart he also has some confidence.

I just don't know what level such power would constitute among Lianqi Phase cultivators.

"Now I am considered a cultivator; even if I walk the martial dao path, the existence of true essence already sets me apart from ordinary martial artists. In the future, when meeting cultivators, I won't be so embarrassed or fawning." Yan Buji smiled satisfactorily.

Having actual strength and merely pretending to have strength are two completely different concepts.

But this is still not enough; Yan Buji also tried and found he could not drive the accumulation device with true essence, indicating that he still needs to rely on a cultivator's magical power.

Is it possible...... that I could rely on the floral pattern profound skill to practice Blood Heaven Ascension Degree on one hand, and on the other practice cultivator methods to generate magical power?

"One could try qi intake into the body; now that Blood Heaven Ascension Degree is complete, my spiritual sense enhancement will also grow with the strengthening of the martial dao profound skill. My perception of spiritual energy should also improve somewhat."

As for how to convert spiritual energy into magical power after qi intake into the body, that likely requires a cultivator's method.

The cultivation method he obtained from Liu Feng is unlikely for him to comprehend fully; it would be better to seek out places where cultivators gather, and by any means exchange some basic cultivation methods.

"Moreover, I also need to supplement my basic knowledge of the cultivation world; without a guide, I'd surely bump my head." Yan Buji pondered.

Given his current spiritual sense strength, while it's unlikely he could directly locate those cultivators' whereabouts, finding some places where spiritual energy gathers should not be difficult.

Yan Buji tried to sense it, and suddenly his brow furrowed:

"What's wrong? Why can't I sense anything strange at all?"

The surrounding air remained as usual; he did not detect the presence of spiritual energy!
