Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The Great Zhou Armory contains all the martial arts techniques in the world.

There are as many as twenty-one divine skills, with the three top-level divine skills all being of superior quality.

In theory, one can cultivate to the half-step Supreme Realm.

There are countless ordinary cultivation techniques...

For a true martial artist, simply observing and comprehending these techniques can be incredibly rewarding.

It's impossible to find so many similar techniques for reference elsewhere, so when creating your own divine skills, you'll inevitably be limited.

Li Changqing didn't know much about the cultivation techniques in this world to begin with.

This place was practically a martial arts paradise for him.

It took Li Changqing nearly half a month just to memorize all the secret manuals collected from the Great Zhou Armory from beginning to end.

With his ability to read ten lines at a glance and to remember everything he saw.

In the past two weeks, he has read at least several thousand, and possibly even tens of thousands, cultivation techniques.

That's why Li Changqing gained some understanding of the martial arts techniques in this world.

In theory, cultivation techniques can be divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade.

The lowest grade corresponds to acquired, the middle grade to innate, and the highest grade to profound understanding.

The reason why the elders of the Beggars' Sect were able to reach the levels of Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster was largely because they obtained high-grade cultivation techniques by chance.

With the addition of some fortuitous encounters or the guidance of beggar predecessors, they can successfully break through to the level of Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster.

Above ordinary martial arts techniques lies what people call divine skills.

Divine skills can be divided into four grades: low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top grade.

The lowest grade corresponds to the carefree state, the middle grade corresponds to the great carefree state, the highest grade corresponds to the half-step supreme state, and the best grade corresponds to the supreme state.

Cultivating divine skills can indeed allow martial artists to advance their realm more quickly.

However, to master a divine skill, you must have a corresponding understanding of it.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to break free from the constraints.

Besides cultivating divine skills, martial artists have another way to break through: creating their own martial arts.

Strictly speaking, there is no upper limit to the level of self-created martial arts.

And such martial artists often achieve even greater things in the future.

For example, like Li Changqing. With his unparalleled comprehension and some information from his previous life, he created more than a dozen divine skills and dozens of martial arts techniques.

The levels of their divine skills are all above the middle grade.

Of course, Li Changqing is too unique to be a reliable reference.

But there is also his elder brother, Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng's flying knife formation is a martial art he created himself. It incorporates multiple techniques and has extremely high future potential.

If Li Changsheng had the opportunity to enter the Great Zhou Armory, his flying knife formation could quickly be perfected to the level of a low-grade divine skill.

As for how far it can go in the future?

That depends on his personal opportunities and understanding.

That is why, even though Li Changqing possessed more than a dozen divine skills, he never gave Li Changsheng any guidance.

In retrospect, Li Changqing's approach was undoubtedly correct.

Having read through all the manuals, Li Changqing decided to create a new divine skill.

Before that, he was just working in isolation.

The divine skills he created, though powerful, were like rootless duckweed. It was simply unrealistic to expect to break through the wall called the Heavenly Dao with those skills.

"It turns out the foundation wasn't laid properly!"

Having figured this out, Li Changqing finally saw a tiny glimmer of light ahead of the darkness.

Even a small glimmer of light is still a glimmer of hope.

Over the next two weeks, he combined his memories from his previous life with the dozen or so divine skills he had already mastered.

In addition, he saw nearly ten thousand secret manuals in the Great Zhou Armory.

We've finally made some progress.

True skill lies in simplicity, returning to the essence of things...

Blindly pursuing the power and effects of a technique is putting the cart before the horse.

To cultivate martial arts is to break free from the constraints of life and become a better version of yourself.

To put it bluntly, it's about seeking truth and immortality.

If one becomes an ordinary old man after achieving immortality, then such immortality is not very meaningful.

Therefore, after "longevity," we should also add the words "immortality."

Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique.

Originally, Li Changqing just thought this technique was interesting, but now he has a completely different opinion.

The cultivation method he wants to create should be fundamentally designed for change. It can be different from the existing methods, possessing a completely new realm of its own.

"That's more like it."

Having a clear idea, Li Changqing combined his memories from his previous life with the inspiration brought by the cultivation technique.

He quickly came up with several paths, then a dozen, then dozens...

In the end, it even reached several hundred.

Li Changqing's memories of his past life don't exist in reality; they only exist in things like TV dramas and novels.

Many works have proposed their own cultivation methods, although most of them are not feasible.

But there are always some things that are feasible.

It's just that Li Changqing didn't have true qi in his previous life, so the author and readers had no way to cultivate it.

If he possessed such mysterious power in his past life, Li Changqing would absolutely believe that many powerful figures who created their own martial arts would emerge from China.

I considered hundreds of possible routes and then checked them one by one.

It's not just about whether it's feasible.

We also need to see if this technique can go far in the future.

Whether we can meet Li Changqing's requirements and enable him to complete a transformation in his life.

In the end, Li Changqing selected three roads from hundreds of options.

All three of these paths can lead to at least the pinnacle of supreme power.

As for whether he can go further, we'll have to wait until Li Changqing reaches that level of cultivation before we can draw a conclusion.

"Which of the three should I choose? Forget it, only children make choices. I refuse to believe I can't combine these three paths."

It took Li Changqing a full month to study and get the basics of his new martial arts technique.

"Since there is no one above the Supreme Being, let's call him an Immortal."

"This cultivation technique will be called the 'Seeking Immortality Record'!"

When Li Changqing officially entered the sect and began cultivating the Seeking Immortality Record.

He himself was unaware of it.

Outside his secluded cave, thousands upon thousands of rays of light suddenly rained down from the sky.

The rays of sunlight converged and enveloped the Great Zhou Armory.

It makes the entire back mountain look like a fairyland.

"What is this?"

Everyone in the entire imperial city saw it.

The martial artists who were in seclusion in the Great Zhou Armory all stared in disbelief at the strange color in the sky.

The rosy clouds seemed to herald the birth of something.

"Could it be that another supreme being is about to emerge?"

"I haven't heard of any half-step supreme being breaking through recently?"

"Didn't you read the records in the Great Zhou Armory? Although the birth of a Supreme Being is accompanied by extraordinary phenomena, there has never been a scene like this before?"

They read in the records that divine thunder would descend from the sky at the birth of the Supreme Being.

The minimum number of divine lightning bolts is three, and the maximum is six...

This world has revealed the birth of yet another truly immortal being.

How long will the Supreme Being live?

Because very few people die of old age, most supreme beings go astray and become possessed by evil spirits on their way to higher realms.

Some also died in battles with other supreme beings.

Therefore, no one can say for sure.

People only know that the longest-living supreme powerhouse in the world is said to have lived for hundreds of years.
