Chapter 58: Chapter 58: I’ll Be Waiting for You in the Capital City In the living room, Gu Zhan took out the secret manual and began to browse it.
Fierce Sun Skill—Gu Zhan had long heard of this cultivation technique. It was the Tower Guard Martial Arts of the Inheritance Pavilion in Linjiang City’s Embroidered Uniform Guard, an Innate level cultivation technique, divided into upper and lower volumes.
The upper volume was a Postnatal Technique, which could be cultivated to the First Grade Realm. The lower volume was at the Innate level, able to be cultivated to the Innate Ninth Layer. However, in Linjiang City’s Embroidered Uniform Guard, only cultivation up to the Innate Fourth Layer existed; the rest of the technique could only be found at Yunzhou Garrison.
Very quickly, Gu Zhan finished browsing the cultivation technique,
and at the same time, the system successfully recorded both volumes of the Fierce Sun Skill.
In that instant,
the system prompt sounded in his mind:
[Would you like to switch to cultivating Fierce Sun Skill?]
Note: Switching cultivation technique within the same realm will consume one tenth of the Experience Points required for the next realm.
Gu Zhan didn’t hesitate and immediately chose to switch.
[Consumes 1,000 Experience Points]
[Successfully switched to Fierce Sun Skill]
[Current realm: First Grade]
In a flash,
Gu Zhan could feel his inner strength begin to change. The inner strength from the Profound Yuan Skill was violent, but not excessively so,
but with the switch,
his inner strength suddenly seemed to awaken with wildness, like floodwaters bursting through dams, surging through his meridians, as if an inferno had ignited within.
Gu Zhan was sweating profusely from the heat.
However, this process didn’t last long. Soon, his inner strength stabilized, and Gu Zhan mastered this transformed inner strength perfectly, as if he had transitioned step by step on his own.
As expected,
Cheating is exhilarating for a moment,
but keep cheating and it’s exhilarating forever!
Gu Zhan checked his Experience Points, then chose to cultivate the lower volume of Fierce Sun Skill.
[Consumes 10,000 Experience Points]
[Innate Fierce Sun Skill upgraded to First Layer]
[Current realm elevated to Innate First Layer]
...
In that instant, Gu Zhan’s essence, energy, and spirit all reached their peak.
The air rippled,
Gu Zhan seemed enveloped in red flames, flashing by like a blazing sun.
Gu Zhan slowly opened his hand. In his palm, a cluster of flame appeared, radiating a shocking temperature, though the flame wasn’t truly fire, but a transparent substance.
"True Qi!"
Gu Zhan whispered, then casually struck out with his palm.
He hadn’t cultivated Palm Technique before, it was just a casual release of True Qi.
A loud "boom" sounded,
A pillar in the hall more than a meter away from Gu Zhan instantly burst open with a gap.
This was the distinctive sign of the Innate Realm: True Qi released externally.
It’s said one’s clothes remain unstained by dust, rain falls without touching the body.
Once reaching the Innate Realm, one can condense Innate Gang Qi to shield the whole body.
At Gu Zhan’s entry level into the Innate Realm, the defensive effect wasn’t much, but his Perception Power increased dozens of times. For powerful Innate Experts, Innate Gang Qi alone could make one impervious to blades and arrows.
After experiencing Innate True Qi for a moment, Gu Zhan stopped his cultivation and checked the system interface:
