The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

......

The simulation begins!

[Year 10]: You discard all distracting thoughts and immerse your mind completely in the essence of the two martial arts techniques. You repeatedly dissect the three sword moves of the Demon Subduing Three Styles, while trying to find a way to perfectly infuse the ferocious energy of the Black Fiend Wolf Soul Technique into the sword moves.

[Thirty Years]: You discover that simple superposition leads to stagnation of sword energy and conflict of intentions. You then turn to the Divine Devouring Heaven Technique, using its subtle mental power as a guide to harmonize the two states of mind.

[Fifty Year]: A crucial epiphany arrives. You no longer adhere to the specific form of the original moves, but instead extract their most fundamental intent and momentum.

[Seventieth Year]: A brand new prototype of the sword technique was born. It only had three moves, but the sword intent was pure and the killing power was overwhelming.

The first move, [Demon Slayer], is a sword aura that is as fast as lightning. It is designed to break through all kinds of protective true qi. Once it hits, the ferocious power contained in the sword aura will erode the opponent's true qi and meridians like maggots clinging to bones, causing continuous damage.

The second move, [Soul Devouring], is characterized by its unpredictable sword aura, which can split into several streams, like ferocious ghosts, relentlessly pursuing and tearing at the opponent. It not only attacks the physical body but also contains a trace of power to intimidate and erode the soul, disturbing the mind and damaging the soul's strength.

The third move, "Opening Heaven," is the strongest intention that combines true energy, mental power, and killing intent; it is the ultimate killing sword.

It requires gathering momentum, concentrating all the true energy of the body into a single sword strike, containing the ultimate will to annihilate and the corrosive power of malevolence.

It possesses astonishing destructive power against any living being and even defensive magical artifacts. It contains psychic power, and those struck by this sword often suffer severe damage to both their life force and their soul.

[The First Hundred Years]: You have spent a long time refining these three sword moves, perfecting the flow of true energy and the techniques of exertion in each move to perfection. They have even formed a perfect closed loop and amplified the operation of the Divine Devouring Heaven Technique.

......

"Deduction complete!"

"You have successfully integrated the essence of the Three Demon-Subduing Techniques and the Black Fiend Wolf Soul Technique, and combined them with the characteristics of the Divine Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique to create a brand new sword technique, the [Mysterious Heaven Three Swords]!"

"Sword Technique Grade: Top Grade Xuan Grade!"

"Therefore, this technique is highly compatible with the Divine Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique, and in your hands, it can unleash power approaching that of a low-grade Earth-rank technique!"

hiss!

Cui Yi suddenly gasped!

Top grade Xuan level? !

The Three Demon-Subduing Techniques and the Black Fiend Wolf Soul Technique are both extremely ordinary Yellow-rank martial arts techniques!

Although the Black Fiend Wolf Soul Technique is a high-grade Yellow Rank technique, it might be considered decent in a place like Black Tooth Town, but in the entire cultivation world, it's simply not up to par.

How did it suddenly transform into a Xuan-level martial skill in the deduction of this Floating Pagoda?

Moreover, it's top-grade!

This leap in rank is simply unbelievable!

Could it be because the element of telekinesis was incorporated during the fusion process...?

Cui Yi couldn't help but sigh that the value of Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques was still rising!

The deduction of the pagoda is not a simple one plus one.

It is based on its own supreme mystery, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things!

If this trend continues, the martial arts techniques I deduce and fuse in the future will all be of a high grade!

As for the remaining lifespan, Cui Yi had no intention of keeping it. He simply devoted it all to the Divine Devouring Heaven Technique, hoping to take this opportunity to break through to the Core Formation Realm in one fell swoop!

Deduction and practice, begin!

Time flows silently within the pagoda.

While only a moment may have passed outside, it felt as if a long period of cultivation had taken place inside the tower.

A vast amount of cultivation experience and insights circulated and settled in Cui Yi's sea of ​​consciousness.

His understanding of the Divine Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique deepened at an astonishing speed, and he was able to operate it more and more smoothly!

However, a peculiar phenomenon has emerged.

No matter how he cultivated, his cultivation level remained firmly fixed at the special point of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, without any sign of breaking through to the Core Formation Realm!

It was as if there was an invisible barrier that kept him firmly locked in this perfect state.

True Qi can become more abundant, the physical body can become more powerful, and mental power can become more immense.

But the level of attainment has stopped increasing.

At first, Cui Yi was a little confused, but as the deduction went deeper, he gradually understood.

This is neither a bottleneck nor an obstacle.

The peak of any realm is when one has cultivated a realm to its theoretical limit, reaching a state of perfection where there is no further advancement.

It means that all the potential of the current realm has been exhausted.

All the foundations have been solidified to the point that they cannot be strengthened any further.

It's like a cup that's already full of water; there can't be any more water, and the cup can't be expanded any further.

The Great Perfection realm, on top of this, provides an even higher potential for growth for this quilt!

His cultivation level had already surpassed that of an ordinary peak Foundation Establishment cultivator by a great deal.

Its foundation is so solid and robust that even some cultivators who have just entered the Core Formation stage may not be able to match it.

But his cultivation level just happened to remain at the Foundation Establishment stage!

Cui Yi didn't understand this strange state, but its existence was justified. Besides, Xi Yue had once said that the Great Perfection realm was an opportunity that could only be encountered by chance.

They come, the security!

As long as your combat strength continues to rise, there's nothing to worry about!

With only a few years left of the seven hundred years of lifespan he had painstakingly accumulated, Cui Yi felt a void in his heart, as if his body had been hollowed out.

As soon as he emerged from the space of the Floating Pagoda, his divine sense detected rapid breathing coming from about two or three miles away.

Interspersed among the sounds were faint, panicked shouts from women.

Judging from her voice, the woman was not very old.

This made Cui Yi frown, and he suddenly released his divine sense, and the scene there was reflected in the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

A young girl in a moon-white robe stumbled and ran across the deserted courtyard. She had a round face, but it was now pale with panic.

Perhaps due to insufficient spiritual power, each of the girl's leaps appeared unusually heavy, and the mud splashed up when she landed soaked her already tattered robes, making her look even more disheveled.

Behind her, a beast resembling a giant lizard but with a single horn on its head was relentlessly pursuing her with red eyes.

Cui Yi recognized this monster and had killed quite a few of them.

Poisonous Rock Lizards are mostly at the early to mid-stages of the Foundation Establishment realm.

The aura of the poisonous rock lizard that was chasing the girl had clearly reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

The girl's cultivation level was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, a full minor realm lower.

Not everyone has such amazing combat power as Cui Yi. Ordinary cultivators need to be careful when dealing with demonic beasts of the same level, let alone one that is a small realm higher than themselves.

Cui Yi also keenly observed that during the girl's escape, her left hand was unusually stubbornly protecting an old, faded storage bag at her waist.

These days, most people use storage rings; storage bags are outdated items.

It's really not easy to see someone like that even once.

Just then, the venomous rock lizard pounced, its gaping maw snapping down on the girl's back.

The girl stumbled and fell to the ground, her calf instantly cut open by a protruding rock.

Before she could even cry out in pain, that incredibly foul stench hit her faster than a gaping maw!

There's no way to avoid it!

Finished!

Dead!

A look of despair flashed across the girl's eyes, and she instinctively raised her arm to shield her eyes!
