Chapter 87 - 87: The Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate - One Realm Beyond Another!
Miaoshou Garden was silent, not a sound to be heard.
Lu Changsheng returned to his room in Miaoshou Garden as quiet as a shadow, then lit a candle and placed a package on the table.
Although he had just caused a “world-shaking” event outside, the moment he stepped into the courtyard of Miaoshou Garden, he felt a sense of calmness wash over him. He was still the physician of Miaoshou Garden!
Lu Changsheng began to reflect on the gains and losses from his battle with Yan Jiansheng.
In reality, battles between Divine Power Realm warriors were different from those with Body-Forging Realm warriors.
Many tactics were not suitable for battles between Divine Power Realm warriors.
For example, the Instant Kill Technique.
In the past, Lu Changsheng’s Instant Kill Technique was all-conquering, allowing him to fight and even kill many Organ Refining Realm warriors who were stronger than him.
However, Divine Power Realm warriors were different from Body-Forging Realm warriors.
The physical bodies of Divine Power Realm warriors had undergone a complete transformation, and the so-called “fast, accurate, and ruthless” strikes of the Instant Kill Technique were no longer as effective.
Moreover, the Instant Kill Technique was only a Tier 5 martial skill, and no matter how it was improved, it wouldn’t have much power against Divine Power Realm warriors.
“The Instant Kill Technique is not very effective, and even my combat experience in the Body-Forging Realm doesn’t have much use. I must change my approach to battles.”
“In the Divine Power Realm, the focus is on who has stronger defense, greater strength, and martial skills should be developed in that direction.”
“For example, the Dragon God Transformation secret technique, which can amplify the body’s strength by thirty percent. In a sense, this kind of technique is the norm for Divine Power Realm warriors.”
Lu Changsheng had the Dragon God Transformation, and other Divine Power Realm warriors might have similar amplification techniques.
However, Lu Changsheng lacked martial skills at the Divine Power Realm level.
He wanted to create his own, but he only had a concept and hadn’t had any inspiration yet.
Even with a comprehension score as high as 581 points, it was impossible to create a Divine Power Realm level martial skill in one fell swoop.
Martial skills could be developed slowly, and Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry.
He began to tally up his gains from this time.
Inside the package, there were a substantial number of martial arts and techniques. This was the accumulation of the Holocaust Sect over two to three hundred years.
One martial art after another was checked off by Lu Changsheng.
“Wait, these are Divine Power Realm techniques?”
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng turned the pages of two manuals.
These two manuals had been placed at the highest position in the martial arts repository, and he had not closely examined them before. They turned out to be Divine Power Realm techniques, and they were quite precious.
One of them was the Bloodthirsty Divine Power Technique, the heritage technique of the Holocaust Sect. However, its quality was similar to the Rugged Mountains Divine Power Technique and the Raging Waves Divine Power Technique, all just ordinary Divine Power Realm techniques.
Perhaps, the leader of the Holocaust Sect, Yan Jiansheng, had broken through to the Divine Power Realm with the Bloodthirsty Divine Power Technique.
The second manual was also a Divine Power Realm technique called the “Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate.”
The name was grand and imposing, clearly something extraordinary.
Lu Changsheng had seen many Divine Power Realm techniques before, such as the Venomous Sect’s Venomous Grand Pill and the Raging Waves Divine Power Technique.
Most of them were similar.
However, as Lu Changsheng carefully perused the “Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate,” he felt a trace of shock in his heart.
This “Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate” was not an ordinary Divine Power Realm technique; it was a high-grade Divine Power Realm technique!
It allowed one to directly cultivate from the first level of Divine Power, the Ten Cauldrons Realm, to the second level of Divine Power, the Hundred Cauldrons Realm.
This martial art had a total of nine levels. Each level would grant the power of ten cauldrons.
If one focused on this martial art to break through to the Divine Power Realm, they would immediately possess the power of twenty cauldrons, easily overpowering most Divine Power Realm techniques.
However, if someone had already reached the Divine Power Realm and then practiced this martial art, not only would it be more challenging, but even after reaching the first level, it would only add ten cauldrons of power. Subsequent levels, from the second to the ninth, had no effect.
What was more important was that practicing this martial art didn’t require any external materials.
As long as one had enough comprehension and talent, they could cultivate it!
“High-grade martial arts are truly exceptional.”
“I wonder if Yan Jiansheng broke through to the Divine Power Realm with the ‘Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate’ or the ‘Bloodthirsty Divine Power Technique’?”
“Being able to possess the power of twenty cauldrons in an instant may be possible with the ‘Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate.'”
Lu Changsheng had initially thought that Yan Jiansheng cultivated the Bloodthirsty Divine Power Technique, but now it seemed that it might not be that simple.
No wonder Yan Jiansheng had an air of superiority and seemed to look down on everyone. If he practiced the “Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate,” it all made sense.
Once he reached the ninth level, he could become a Hundred Cauldrons Realm powerhouse in one go!
Most Divine Power Realm warriors spent their whole lives in the Ten Cauldrons Realm.
Wanting to advance to the Hundred Cauldrons Realm was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
For example, even if Lu Changsheng had acquired the Heaven-Transforming Treasure Technique and gathered all the precious treasures, he still couldn’t advance to the Hundred Cauldrons Realm.
But this “Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate” could directly be cultivated to the Hundred Cauldrons Realm without relying on external items. It was truly unimaginable.
“Ordinary Divine Power Realm techniques, once you break through, you’ve reached perfection and lost the possibility of further cultivation. Naturally, you can’t continue to improve.”
“But high-grade Divine Power Realm techniques not only allow you to break through to the Divine Power Realm, but also to continue cultivation. Even reaching the Hundred Cauldrons Realm in the second level of Divine Power, this difference is like night and day!”
Lu Changsheng now had a rough understanding of the difference between ordinary Divine Power Realm techniques and high-grade Divine Power Realm techniques.
So, Lu Changsheng began to experiment with the “Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate” martial art.
Originally, this martial art was very difficult to cultivate, and comprehending its basics was incredibly challenging..
