Strongest Offline Cultivation

After a long time, Shen Xui finally returned to the cave. When she returned, Fu Murong embraced her tightly, not letting her go. It turned out that because she was gone for almost three hours, Fu Murong was extremely sad.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left like that.” After learning the truth, Shen Xui apologized to her but Fu Murong shook her head and said.

“It wasn’t your fault. Everyone gets flustered and tries to run away when someone confesses to them for the first time.”

Then she turned at Fu Chen and shouted “Can’t you take it a little bit slow? Don’t you know how much this means to the girls?”

Fu Chen instantly looked the other way and didn’t talk.

“That boy is truly inconsiderate. Let’s go!” Fu Murong snorted and took Shen Xui away before she could say anything. Shen Xui couldn’t help but look at Fu Chen but when their eyes met, she instantly looked away with a blush on her face.

Fu Chen sighed bitterly. He knew this is going to take a while. He sat on the ground and took out a few soul crystals and started the new cultivation technique he had learned.

Spiritual Sage Technique!

In simple terms, this technique was a masterpiece for soul cultivation. It didn’t just improve his soul overnight but also made him able to use soul power for different purposes.

For example, he never thought finding the great mystery of Aura meant using Aura to condense weapons.

If he uses Thunder Aura, he can create a sword that vibrates at extreme speed allowing him to cut through anything. Finally, he understood why this technique was a forbidden technique.

It was just the first stage and he could form the weapons that could literally cut anything. Of course, he has used it in a battle but just a theory was enough for now.

And, there was another state known as ‘Sage Mode’. Using the Thunder Aura together with Spiritual Qi and soul power, he can enter a state where he can infinitely increase his soul and physical strength.

Sage Mode was perfect for One Sword Art.

According to Thunder Body Forging Technique, Thunder Aura is formed by merging the life force and spiritual qi together inside a certain acupoint. And, he can increase the limit of the Thunder Aura by unlocking more Acupoints.

Originally, he had a problem training this technique because he needs to open the acupoints by absorbing the lightning bolts. But with Lightning Attribute soul crystals, he doesn’t need to worry.

He can simply absorb the energy inside these soul crystals to open the acupoints which are filled with Life-Force. Then, he can merge the Life Force with Spiritual Qi to create Thunder Aura.

Of course, this was only the first stage. After he opens the fifty acupoints, he can move on to the second stage where he can condense the Thunder Aura into a Thunder Armor.

Now, he can only use the Thunder Aura around his body but it is not an actual armor. In the second stage, he can form an actual armor. So, while he was training his soul with Spiritual Sage Technique, he also used Thunder Body Forging Technique to open more acupoints.

It seems like he underestimated the consumption. It took him nearly five hundred soul crystals to finally open the fifty acupoints and at the same time, his soul also changed.

Inside his sea of consciousness, there was a small humanoid body. It was originally blue but now, there were strange golden stripes around it.

According to Ysla, Soul Cultivation is divided into Five Realms as well based on the numbers and colors of stripes.

Currently, he had the Golden Stripes which means his soul has successfully reached the second realm. In the first realm, there are no stripes. It is just a blue soul.

In the third realm, his soul will have additional purple stripes. On the fourth realm, his soul will have additional silver stripes. Finally, on the fifth realm, he merges these three stripes and forms a powerful soul enough to condense a Nascent Soul.

The color only represented the difference in realms. The real change is hidden beneath those colors. Such as Golden Stripes, which means he can form Soul Power.

Purple Stripes means he can create an attack with his soul power. He can also use it for defense against soul attacks. Unlike normal martial arts, soul arts are very hard to find.

And, so, people normally create their own soul art. Basically, when you have the Purple Stripes, your soul power can be manipulated into anything you want though limited to materialistic form only.

Silver Stripes allow one to attach the law they comprehend to their souls. Now, their attacks can also use the power of law. Finally, all of these are combined together in order to reach Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul can do anything that previous soul ranks could do but now even better. And, it is necessary to have three stripes to create a Nascent Soul.

Fu Chen doesn’t have any problems because of these soul restrictions. With Spiritual Sage Technique, his soul is naturally stronger. And, even if he can’t use soul attacks, he can still defend with his powerful soul power.

As for attacks, he still has the Sword Energy. According to the Supreme Sword Heart Law, his sword energy can attack any kind of form. There is nothing his sword can’t attack.

After cultivating his soul power for another day, he finally stopped both Spiritual Sage Technique and Thunder Body Forging Technique. He opened his eyes and noticed that everyone else was cultivating as well.

He thought for a moment before calling out his status.

‘Damn! I only have half of the soul crystals left. I need to be careful of using this. But, on other hand, Ysla has added new stats.’

‘Ysla, what the realms of the body?’ Fu Chen asked.

“Flood Dragon Realm, Wyvern Realm, True Dragon Realm, Half-Immortal Dragon Realm, Immortal Dragon Realm, Golden-Immortal Dragon Realm, and so on. Anyway, you have just reached the Flood Dragon Realm and it’s just the first stage.”

“Reaching two thousand points in stats will help you reach the second stage and it will continue until nine thousand and after ten thousand, you will have the physical strength of Wyvern,” Ysla explained.

‘Wait a minute, isn’t the Wyvern one of the strongest kings in this world. His strength is on par with the peak Nascent Soul Realm. And, True Dragon was killed by him in the past. How is this possible?’ Fu Chen asked with confusion.

“Host, physical strength doesn’t represent your battle powers. Even though you were only at Foundation Realm, you still managed to kill the Flood Dragon, didn’t you?”

“Yes, True Dragon is physically stronger than Wyvern but that’s the limit we are talking about. What if the true dragon was only a little stronger than the Wyvern in physical strength and way below him in others.”

“Anyway, this isn’t something you should focus on right now. You should focus on improving other cultivation techniques and your overall battle strength.”

Fu Chen thought for a moment and nodded his head. He walked out of the cave and the sun was brightly shining above him.

‘Previously, I was scared of using the sun’s essence to train my body. Now that I have a stronger physical body, let’s see if I can use the sun’s essence to train it further.’

He sat on the sand and closed his eyes. In his mind, Golden Sun Cultivation Technique rapidly started working. His martial spirit opened its eyes inside his dantian and sucked a lot of energy inside his body.

But, his cultivation technique was only allowing the Sun’s Essence surrounding him to enter. When it entered his body, he felt a slight burn all over his body but it didn’t make him scream.

It didn’t seem that painful. He silently continued absorbing the sun’s essence without any thoughts of the potential dangers lurking around him.

Somewhere far from his location, there was a pair of eyes staring at him, releasing a powerful murderous aura.
