I lit the sandalwood, filling the workshop with a faint fragrance.
I put away the Bull Demon Mask and shed the black robe, returning my robust body to normal and regaining my usual gentle and honest appearance.
I let out a gentle breath, and my thoughts were calm, without ripples.
The Fishing Gang… had become my target, but instead of starting with the Black Snake Gang that had been tailing me, I took action against other forces within the Fishing Gang, as long as I discovered the Corpse Curse Mark within the gang.
Without hesitation, I would strike to kill with a thunderous burst.
To my surprise, the Fishing Gang… was almost riddled with holes from the penetration of the Corpse God Cult, or rather, it was as if they had opened their arms to let the Corpse God Cult erode them willingly.
It certainly must have been with the consent of the higher-ups of the Fishing Gang.
“The Fishing Gang… Are they planning to rebel against the Golden Light Prefecture?”
The light in my eyes flickered slightly.
However, I was too lazy to think too much.
Whether the Fishing Gang rebels or not, I don’t care; my only desire is to act unrestrainedly. If the Fishing Gang lacks martial virtue, then as Li Che, I will unleash the Bull Demon.
Sitting cross-legged in my chair, I tallied up my gains, which were actually quite ordinary; my main focus was on the Divine Crystal.
“So poor…”
I frowned and murmured; this leader of the White Wave Hall had a total fortune of only five Ten Cities Divine Crystals—dead broke.
Over the past ten days, I had completely become the Bull Demon, hunting down the forces under the Fishing Gang. Any cultivators who had received the Corpse Curse Mark of the Corpse God Cult were killed by me.
I gathered a total of thirty-two Ten Cities Divine Crystals, which wasn’t really a lot.
I was helpless too—after all, Divine Crystals are cultivation resources. These cultivators all needed to cultivate, so being able to gather thirty-two was already quite good.
“It’s the Corpse God Envoy of the Corpse God Cult that’s richer… A single Eight Extremes Divine Crystal almost overwhelmed me.”
I mumbled, somewhat nostalgic.
Unfortunately, during this time, while I took the guise of the Bull Demon to kill the forces subordinate to the Fishing Gang, I never encountered a Corpse God Envoy from the Corpse God Cult.
A thought moved within me, and lights flowed into view before me.
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv3, 79%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv3, 25%), Pure Heart (LV3, 5%), Chess Saint (LV2, 58%)]
The maturity of the Dao Fruit had achieved substantial growth overall!
The progress of Immortal Artisan was insignificant, as I hadn’t carved a new Statue of the Deity. Dragon Elephant Vajra, having frequently engaged in combat without experiencing much pressure, still had a decent rate of improvement.
After reaching LV3, the maturity of Pure Heart slowed down completely. Even after I drained the remaining Eight Extremes Divine Crystals, I only just increased proficiency by 5%.
For Ten Cities Divine Crystals, it takes ten to increase proficiency by 1%. The speed drastically slowed down, and the cost-performance became extremely low!
I wondered if it was because Pure Heart had consumed the finer essence of Eight Extremes Divine Crystals that Ten Cities Divine Crystals, this kind of rough grain, could no longer satisfy it.
It was as if it was forcing me to find higher quality Divine Crystals.
Only Eight Extremes, Seven-Yuan level Divine Crystals are acceptable?
Fortunately, Pure Heart extracted the Divinity from Divine Crystals at an extremely fast speed. I transformed the Ten Cities Divinity I extracted into the Three-Eyed Fierce True Lord Divine Foundation; although it still required the Divine Foundation to refine it, the overall speed increased a lot.
In the span of ten days, after refining ten Ten Cities Divine Crystals, I managed to elevate the Three-eyed Fury True Lord Divine Foundation to the Middle Realm of Divine Foundation!
But what delighted me the most was the [Chess Saint] Dao Fruit…
Due to the increase in killings, the accumulation of Divine Chess Pieces, and the frequency of employing Flying Thunder Chess Saint and the Heaven and Earth chessboard, the maturity of the [Chess Saint] Dao Fruit achieved gratifying growth!
It had now reached 58%!
Indeed, the fastest improvements come through battle and combat.
I felt deeply moved.
After organizing everything, I stood up, my muscles and bones crying out in unison with crackling sounds echoing continuously.
With a clench of my five fingers, the air intertwined as I began practicing Martial Techniques within the courtyard.
The cultivation of Divine Pulse, as described in the “Great Scenery Temple Top-tier Prison Lotus Meridian Divine Pulse Technique”, focuses primarily on transformations through Divinity.
The number of transformations affects the strength of one’s blood and Inner Qi.
To break through to Grandmaster, the Divine Pulse must integrate the nuances of three Transformation Realm Martial Arts, achieving the Divine Pulse Triple Transformation.
This is the minimum requirement. A True Qi Grandmaster who achieves breakthrough at the bare minimum is of the lowest rank.
After that, there are the stages of Divine Pulse Six Transformations and Divine Pulse Nine Transformations.
You need to fuse the nuances of six and nine Martial Arts respectively.
The difficulty… is simply incomparable!
After all, for any Martial Artist, mastering a Martial Technique to the Transformation Realm requires so much time and effort.
Martial Arts are divided into Lower, Middle, and Superior tiers, and the Transformation Realm of each varies.
Many Divine Pulse Martial Artists spend their whole lives without mastering three Transformation Realm Martial Arts, and naturally, they have no hope of becoming Grandmasters.
However, there are rumors that within the Divine Sect, there exists a mysterious Spirit Martial Pill that enhances one’s Martial Arts perception, thereby accelerating the rate at which one practices Martial Arts to reach the Transformation Realm.
This is also why great sects often produce Grandmasters more easily.
But for ordinary Divine Pulse Cultivators, Grandmaster is extremely difficult to achieve.
If you can’t become a Grandmaster, a Divine Minister is hopeless… It’s like a vicious cycle, with the path utterly broken. Stay tuned to empire
Inside the workshop, the fierce wind gradually ceased. Only a hidden but vigorous blood Qi surged, and as I opened my eyes, they shone brightly as if two resplendent stars had burst forth in the darkness.
“The White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist and the Eight Consecutive Bone-Breaking Spears have both reached the Transformation Realm and have been integrated into the Divine Pulse…”
“Next, the Python Dragon Cannon, Cloud Harrier Treading on Clouds, and the Angry Cry Hundred Ghosts Wind-Thunder Arrows have all reached Master level, and the Furious True Lord’s Triple-Blade Knife is about to reach Master level as well…”
“Oh right, the Maitreya Gold Armor has also reached Master level, just one step away from the Transformation Realm.”
