Chapter 387: Ardent Sun Divine Technique

Translator: jinzeffect

The formidable power of the First Heaven Divine Technique had made Li Fuchen expectant towards the other earth class mid-tier cultivation technique.

Earth class mid-tier cultivation technique was no longer in the common ground in the entire Seven Color Continent. According to what Li Fuchen knew, in the Violet Flower Kingdom, only the royal clan possessed one earth class high-tier cultivation technique. The earth class peak-tier cultivation technique was only possessed by the Red Rainbow Sect which governed the Red Soil Continent.

At this current juncture, Li Fuchen didn’t have any opportunity to make contact with the earth class high-tier cultivation techniques, let alone the earth class peak-tier cultivation techniques.

As such, the earth class mid-tier cultivation technique was his best choice.

After putting down the First Heaven Divine Technique’s manual, Li Fuchen flipped opened the next earth class mid-tier cultivation technique manual.

“Reverse Stream Sutra, earth class mid-tier cultivation technique. This technique will be stronger against stronger opponents and will be enhanced in water environments. It is specialized in battles of attrition and will become stronger as the battle persists. It is a combat cultivation technique and when cultivated to the higher ranks, it can reverse the flow of qi, turning the enemy’s qi into your own, allowing the practitioner to burst out with even stronger fatal power.”

This earth class mid-tier cultivation technique had also stunned Li Fuchen for a moment.

Stronger against stronger opponents?

Enhanced in water environments?

Specialized in battles of attrition and would become stronger as the battle persisted?

It could reverse the flow of qi, turning the enemy’s qi into your own?

Wasn’t this simply defying the heavens?!

To a certain degree, this technique would allow the practitioner to surpass levels in combat.

“Are all earth class mid-tier cultivation techniques so insanely powerful?” Li Fuchen grinned.

Li Fuchen opened up the third earth class mid-tier cultivation technique manual.

“Divine Wind Nine Movements, earth class mid-tier cultivation technique. This technique is the combination of qi cultivation technique and light body technique. Once cultivated, it would provide incomparable speed. A single move would exceed the reaction speed of martial artists in the same realm. When cultivated to the higher ranks, the practitioner would be able to advance and retreat anywhere in the world. Even when the practitioner encountered multiple foes, it would be easy to escape.”

After seeing the introduction of the Divine Wind Nine Movements, Li Fuchen felt like he was going numb.

Earth class mid-tier cultivation techniques were truly unbelievable. Li Fuchen could imagine two individuals with similar cultivation levels. The one that didn’t cultivate an earth class mid-tier cultivation technique would be utter despair.

“But these techniques aren’t what I want.”

Li Fuchen might not have the blazing fire bone frame, but he had been cultivation flame-type cultivation techniques for a long time. Thus, he hoped that his future earth class mid-tier techniques would also be flame-type cultivation techniques. With his previous experiences, he would be able to swiftly increase the cultivation technique rank.

Finally, the fourth manual was a flame-type cultivation technique.

“Ardent Sun Divine Technique, earth class mid-tier cultivation technique. This technique is matchlessly tyrannical and horrifyingly explosive. It has an extremely high demand for the body constitution and if the practitioner wishes to cultivate to the 21st rank, the body refinement cultivation needs to be at the Reincarnation Realm. In order to cultivate to the 24th rank, the body refinement cultivation needs to be at the mid-levels of Reincarnation Realm. In order to cultivate to the 27th rank, the body refinement cultivation needs to be at the high-levels of Reincarnation Realm. This cultivation technique isn’t complex but has extremely fatal and destructive power. When the ardent sun qi is active, it can melt gold and metals. It is even easy to smelt weapons with bare hands. It is an extremely ferocious combat cultivation technique.”

After seeing the introduction for the Ardent Sun Divine Technique, Li Fuchen’s eyes were filled with radiance.

This Ardent Sun Divine Technique was simply too suitable for him.

It might not be comprehensive without complexity. But it was also the reason why it could burst out with the strongest lethality, and it was what Li Fuchen wanted the most.

He wasn’t aiming to become invincible in the same cultivation realm. As long as he had enough time and high-classed cultivation techniques and martial arts, it was extremely easy for him to be invincible in the same cultivation realm.

What he wanted was strength to surpass cultivation realms in combat.

Like in the Reincarnation Realm, by relying on his strength, he was already able to surpass three to four levels, even up to six levels in combat.

With the blue-grade spirit soul, he believed it wasn’t a difficult task.

Furthermore, his blue spirit soul was definitely able to evolve to a higher grade. By then, his perception would certainly increase significantly again.

“This will be the one.” Li Fuchen picked up the Ardent Sun Divine Technique’s manual.

Of course, just in case he missed out anything, Li Fuchen read through the rest of the earth class mid-tier cultivation technique manuals. Apart from the Ardent Sun Divine Technique, there wasn’t another flame-type cultivation technique.

Coming down to the first floor of the Secret Manual Tower’s entrance, Li Fuchen handed the Ardent Sun Divine Technique’s manual to the guardian elder for the tower.

The guardian elder took a look at the name of the manual and spoke in a rather speechless manner, “Child, why do you always pick the hardest manual. You don’t have the blazing fire bone frame, and you can totally pick other earth class mid-tier cultivation techniques, like the First Heaven Divine Technique which is a fine example. It can allow you to have a longer lifespan to break through the cultivation realms.”

This elder was cultivating the First Heaven Divine Technique, of course, he only had the first 24 ranks. If he wanted to cultivate the next three ranks, he would need to contribute to the institution greatly or promote to an inner institute elder.

Li Fuchen replied, “I don’t need so much lifespan.”

The guardian elder chocked and took out the first 24 ranks of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique before handing it over to Li Fuchen. He then waved his hand, “Hurry up and go! You are truly dealing a blow to people.”

After leaving the Secret Manual Tower and returning to his courtyard, someone delivered 2000 low-grade spirit stones to Li Fuchen.

This was the reward for the no.1 listed cadet.

With the low-grade spirit stones that Li Fuchen already had, his possession was now back to 6000 spirit stones.

For the current situation, it was already more than enough. After all, he had yet to break through to the Reincarnation Realm and didn’t need so many low-grade spirit stones for now.

After storing the 2000 low-grade spirit stones, Li Fuchen started to cultivate in seclusion.

He had already wasted a lot of time and it had already been half a year since he reached the highest rank for the True Inferno Technique. If he could make use of the half a year, he would be able to cultivate the Ardent Sun Divine Technique to the 20th rank or even the 21st rank.

As an earth class mid-tier cultivation technique, the 19th rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique was equivalent to the 21st rank of the True Inferno Technique, it was actually superior.

This was the problem with having incredible perception. The speed of changing martial arts and cultivation techniques had to be fast, otherwise, it would be wasting time.

After looking through the first nine ranks of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique, Li Fuchen complimented it, “It is indeed the Ardent Sun Divine Technique. The first nine ranks are for the building of the foundation and to constantly condense and temper the ardent sun core. Only with a stable foundation would the practitioner be able to continue cultivation. If not, there is a risk of explosion to death.”

During night time, Li Fuchen had cultivated the Ardent Sun Divine technique to the 9th rank.

In Li Fuchen’s dantian, the true inferno qi had already been scattered throughout the entire dantian. In the center of the dantian, there was a dazzling rock of light.

This rock of light was the ardent sun core.

But right now, the ardent sun core wasn’t condensed and tempered enough. It required more tempering and honing.

Three days later, the rock of light had gradually transformed and didn’t look as illusionary anymore. It was turning into a jade that was completely red in color.

One week later, the ardent sun core was like a scarlet red crystal and was extremely compact.

At this timing, Li Fuchen could actually cultivate the 10th rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique.

But Li Fuchen wasn’t in a hurry. He had an incredible perception that was superior to the 6-star bone frames. Even the 7-star bone frames might not be comparable to him. Hence, when cultivating the Ardent Sun Divine Technique, a single week of hard work from him was equivalent to a few months or even half a year of hard work from others.

Since Li Fuchen had such phenomenal perception, it was natural for him to make full use of it and make sure his foundation was indestructible.

One month later, Li Fuchen’s ardent sun core inside his dantian was just like a metallic sphere that was thoroughly red.

The surface of the metallic sphere was extremely smooth and there were almost no flaws. This was the effect after compressing and condensing countless times.

If the dean was here, he would surely be astonished. Even if a peak level Reincarnation Realm martial artist was to cultivate the Ardent Sun Divine Technique, he wouldn’t be able to build such a firm and solid foundation. This wasn’t just because of perception, one would also require a tough physique. Without a tough physique, the dantian wouldn’t be so firm and if the dantian wasn’t firm, such high density and high-temperature condition wouldn’t be produced. In addition, the willpower was also very important and without tenacious willpower, this result wouldn’t be possible.

Another important thing was awareness. Without a sensitive awareness, this wasn’t possible either. Only with a sensitive awareness, would the ardent sun core be so exquisite.

Li Fuchen’s awareness was comparable to the Battle Spirit Realm masters. In fact, it could already be considered spiritual awareness. It might not have some functions that spiritual awareness had, but in terms of strength, it wasn’t inferior at all.

Now that the ardent sun core had turned into a thoroughly red metallic sphere, Li Fuchen started to cultivate the 10th rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique.

Huff Huff…

The dantian that was filled with true inferno qi had been consumed by the ardent sun core. The massive amount of true inferno qi was getting transmuted into ardent sun qi.

11th rank, 12th rank, 13th rank.

…

18th rank, 19th rank, 20th rank.

In the second month, Li Fuchen had broken through to the 20th rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique in a single swoop.

The 20th rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique was far superior to the True Inferno Technique and was also stronger than the 21st rank of an earth class low-tier cultivation technique. If Li Fuchen was to battle with Di Jun again, he would be able to wipe Di Jun out instantly in a single sword strike.

In terms of qi quality, Li Fuchen’s qi had already surpassed Di Jun’s qi. Furthermore, Li Fuchen’s sword art was much stronger than the opposition’s martial art.

“I need to strive to break through one more rank.”

Li Fuchen didn’t plan to attend any lectures and continued his seclusion.

Xu Chunhua was very helpless towards this.

As a mentor, he was afraid that cadets might disturb him, but he was also afraid that cadets wouldn’t need him.

Li Fuchen was giving off the feeling that he didn’t need Xu Chunhua. It seemed like he didn’t need any guidance and even if he cultivated by himself, he would be able to dominate the cadets of this place.

As Li Fuchen’s mentor, he simply existed in name only.

“Sigh, perhaps, only the Dean can be his mentor.” During the lecture, when Xu Chunhua thought of Li Fuchen, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

“21st rank!”

In the courtyard’s practice ground, Li Fuchen’s body burst out with inexhaustible and radiant flames.

If the highest rank of the True Inferno Technique was like the sun, then the 21st rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique was a sun that was closer to the ground.

The sun was high up in the sky and even though the sunrays were hot, it was still within the humans’ range of tolerance. But if the sun got closer, that almighty blazing presence was enough to destroy and burn everything.

Inside Li Fuchen’s dantian, there was a small-scaled sun that was rotating.

There was a molten like qi flow that was spurting on the surface of the small sun. But due to the suction from the ardent sun core, the molten qi landed back onto the surface of the small sun.

Boom!

Li Fuchen stood up and blasted a fist at the barrier array of the practice ground.

The dazzling fist light was so bright that one couldn’t open the eyes. There were ripples that were produced on the barrier array.

“This fist is almost strong enough to severely injure a regular 1st level Reincarnation Realm martial artist.”

As Li Fuchen cultivated the Ardent Sun Divine Technique, regular mystic class fist arts weren’t as effective anymore. As the Ardent Sun Divine Technique had an enhancement effect, only mystic class high-tier fist arts would be able to increase his fist force.

The higher the martial artist’s cultivation level, the lesser the impact of a lower-tiered martial art.

Right now, the profundity of a casual punch from Li Fuchen was on par with any mystic class mid-tier fist art.
