Chapter 493 - 10: Cultivation Technique Advancement (2)
All of it,
felt like a brand new existence.
"Truly amazing!"
This unprecedented mystical sensation captivated Fang Zheng, but he quickly returned to his senses.
Heart Intent Fist!
With a thought, the force manipulation, exertion, and technique transitions of the Heart Intent Fist surfaced in detail in his perception.
And,
so clearly it was astonishing!
It was like a college student looking at elementary math problems again; what he once prided himself on as intricate transformations now seemed extremely childish and laughable.
With just a thought, he could make slight improvements to the Heart Intent Fist, making it more perfect.
The same strength, but greater power.
The techniques became more profound.
The changes more complex.
But it’s not just that!
As Fang Zheng’s thoughts turned, techniques like the Five Thunders Hand, Thunder Strike Saber Technique, and Elemental Thunder Skill surfaced one by one in his sea of consciousness.
Similarly,
comprehending these techniques now was far clearer than in the past, with many previously puzzling points now clear.
But different techniques have different feelings.
Especially the Shenxiao Thunder Skill, even with the help of the Moon Jade, understanding it was still fraught with confusion.
’The cultivation technique grade differs, and so does the effect of the Moon Jade; the lower the technique, the easier it is to understand.’
’No!’
’The Moon Jade doesn’t seem to directly enhance one’s comprehension, but rather it acts like a switch that activates the potential of one’s Spiritual Wisdom Spirit.’
’If so, the effect of the Sun and Moon Divine Jade should vary for everyone; unfortunately, this cannot be verified.’
Fang Zheng’s thoughts churned, his mind in turmoil.
Yet he knew that time was precious, and the Moon Jade’s effectiveness was limited, so he quickly focused his mind back on the Heart Intent Fist.
’The Heart Intent Fist is the foundation of my Martial Dao, and changing it involves many inconveniences, so why not directly elevate its grade.’
’What couldn’t be done before is now a great opportunity.’
’If I can integrate the Five Thunders Hand, Thunder Strike Saber Technique, and even the Shenxiao Thunder Skill, it could surely become a top-tier legacy.’
’Let’s do it!’
With determination, countless techniques in his mind rapidly deconstructed, intermingled, gradually improving the Heart Intent Fist’s boxing form.
Time slowly passed.
At a certain moment.
"Hmm!"
Fang Zheng let out a muffled grunt, slowly opening his eyes, showing a look of regret on his face:
"Just a little more!"
"Just a little more, and I could have deduced the Primordial Infinite."
"What a pity!"
The effect of the Moon Jade faded, and his consciousness was abruptly ejected from that state of enlightenment; the techniques were difficult to further deduce.
However...
"Boom!"
Fang Zheng’s body trembled, and the violent Thunder True Qi burst out, transforming into an invisible righteous strength enveloping his body.
Looking closely,
it was like a large spherical shield of righteous strength surrounding him, containing the Power of Thunder, rotating rapidly.
As the righteous strength formed, the surrounding air currents were madly absorbed, as if a massive vortex devouring everything.
Heart Intent — Hundred Rivers Converging!
"Hmm..."
"The defensive power has increased by nearly threefold, the attack power doubled, not even Li Shu could easily break through it now."
"And it not only resists physical attacks but also has a Destruction Technique effect."
"With just this move, it can be considered a top-tier martial art, right?"
Fang Zheng murmured, his body suddenly flickered, with streaks of lightning appearing on the scene, forming into numerous Thunder Sabers.
Heart Intent — Merak Thunder Spin!
Within several meters, the Thunder Sabers whirled madly, turning everything in the room to dust silently.
"This move has integrated the Thunder Strike Saber Technique, and if used with full force, the attack could cover a distance of ten meters."
"If I encounter the injured Black Wind Ascendant now, I wouldn’t need to rely on the Thunder-Attracting Talisman, as this move alone could break through his sandstorm!"
His body technique changed again.
Strands of electric light flickered across Fang Zheng’s body surface, making him look as if he were accelerating, leaving behind afterimages in the field.
The afterimages threw punches, swept legs, struck palms, or executed sword thrusts, each different.
The attack advances,
all aimed at the core.
"Boom!"
A large thunderball appeared out of thin air, with many afterimages dissipating, and Fang Zheng landed lightly.
Heart Intent — Unsettled Qiankun!
"The power of the three killing moves has surged, comparable to top-tier legacies, but unfortunately, the overall improvement of the Heart Intent Fist is not significant."
"The time was too short!"
Looking at the Moon Jade in his hand, Fang Zheng’s gaze was complicated; he was both startled by its effect and regretted the short time.
To fully deduce the Heart Intent Fist and elevate its grade, according to his estimation, it would take twenty years of nurturing under moonlight.
Twenty years...
Too long!
"But not necessarily, as time goes on, my understanding of martial arts deepens as well."
"Perhaps ten years might suffice."
"No wonder the Black Wind Ascendant could transform from a street thug into a renowned Great Mage, this treasure truly is remarkable."
Stabilizing his mind, Fang Zheng took out the Turtle Shell given by Commandery Princess Li Shu and sat cross-legged again, casting a spell to refine it.
This shell’s defensive power was no less than his full-force Hundred Rivers Converging, and it consumed very little True Qi.
Moreover, if it could reach the degree of Blood and Heart Refining, it could be summoned just by thought, which was very convenient.
......
Three days later.
The clearing of the Black Wind Stronghold was nearing its end.
Linghu An held a letter, his face turning from a broad smile to gradually sinking.
In his eyes,
was a deep-seated sadness.
"Godfather..."
"Ah Xiu is gone."
Hmm?
Fang Zheng was taken aback, then came to understand:
"Mother-in-law..."
"I must go back." Linghu An raised his head, his eyes, which had long dried, seemed uncontrollably filled with tears:
"Whatever it is, we’ll talk about it once we get to the Prefecture City."
"Alright."
Fang Zheng nodded:
"I’ll go call Qiuchan."

Prefecture City.
Linghu An stood expressionlessly under a Cloud Willow Tree dressed in a white robe.
The gentle breeze stroked,
the willow branches swayed with it, brushing across Linghu An’s cheek, as if in farewell, or perhaps as some form of comfort.
"That Cloud Willow was personally planted by my mother; when the Ling Family moved to Prefecture City, it was relocated as well."
