Chapter 404 A Single Thought, and the Sword Formation is Formed

As the system notification appeared, several virtual figures materialized in Chu Qinghe's mind, continuously using the mid-grade "Indulgent Ascension Steps".

During the process, Chu Qinghe's understanding of the new "Steps to Immortality" was constantly improving and strengthening.

Half an hour later, as the information in his body was fully digested, Chu Qinghe opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then slowly stood up.

As his true energy circulated within his body, Chu Qinghe suddenly took a step forward.

After taking this step, as the true essence within Chu Qinghe's body and the power of heaven and earth in his Qihai acupoint flowed around him along a special route, Chu Qinghe suddenly had a peculiar feeling.

It's like the feeling of lightness in front of you and your whole body involuntarily moving forward when you're swimming in a pool, even when you're doing the breaststroke.

The next instant, as the surrounding scenery rapidly receded, Chu Qinghe appeared outside the city gate.

It should be noted that although Chu Qinghe's courtyard was not far from the city gate, it was still nearly a hundred feet away.

In the past, even when Chu Qinghe was fully utilizing the "Indulgent Ascension Steps," it would still take him a breath to cross this hundred-zhang distance.

But now, with the mid-grade Dao-level "Indulgent Ascension Steps", he can cross a hundred feet in an instant.

If one could elevate "The Steps to Immortality" to the level of "returning to simplicity," it would truly be possible to achieve "shrinking the earth into an inch" and moving a thousand feet in an instant.

The Great Way remains within, and its rules endure.

The power of heaven and earth, as a special energy that is generated and exists in the universe, is itself extremely mysterious.

Different forces of heaven and earth also have different methods of being mobilized and used.

If one is unaware of this, even martial artists at the Divine Seat Realm or the Illumination Realm can only, like martial artists at the Celestial Realm, simply use the power of heaven and earth as a form of energy to enhance the power of their moves.

Martial arts at the Dao level not only involve the power of heaven and earth, but more importantly, they also involve some methods of utilizing the power of heaven and earth.

By employing the power of heaven and earth, the martial arts have acquired a level of power that transcends the mundane and reaches the divine.

Just like the "Four Symbols of Heavenly Will Technique," even though it is only a low-grade Dao-level technique, it can still mobilize the power of heaven and earth to operate in a natural yet unique way, and its power is far beyond that of Heaven-level martial arts.

After experiencing the mid-grade Daoist technique "Ascending to Immortality with Free Will" outside the city, Chu Qinghe finally returned to the courtyard with satisfaction.

At this moment, the people in the villa, including Shui Mu Yin Ji, were unaware that Chu Qinghe had just wandered around outside the city.

After sitting down again on the stone bench, Chu Qinghe's thoughts turned to the remaining "Martial Arts AFK Cards," and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

In fact, now that Chu Qinghe's "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" has been upgraded to the middle grade of the Dao level and his true essence has undergone a qualitative change, even without relying on the Heavenly Sword Realm, the speed at which he gathers the power of heaven and earth is far greater than before, relying solely on the "Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique".

Given the current state of the power of heaven and earth in the Nine Provinces, if Chu Qinghe wanted to, he could gather and absorb all the power of heaven and earth that filled the Great Ming Kingdom within a short quarter of an hour.

However, the massive loss of the power of heaven and earth would inevitably alert Li Chunfeng.

Therefore, the best approach is to "slowly accumulate grain and then suddenly declare oneself king," gathering the power of heaven and earth until one has sufficient confidence and strength to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty.

This is why Chu Qinghe chose to continue refining the power of heaven and earth at the same pace as before.

If Chu Qinghe were to use this "Martial Arts AFK Card" on the "Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique," and then combine it with his "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" and the effects of the Heavenly Sword Realm, and unleash his refining power, he could gather all the power of heaven and earth in the entire Nine Provinces.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Chu Qinghe's mind.

"Since it's inconvenient to use this thing elsewhere, what if it were used in the Qin Kingdom?"

As a member of the Great Xia Dynasty, Chu Qinghe definitely needed to get to know Li Chunfeng.

The way to get in touch with Li Chunfeng is simple: Chu Qinghe just needs to go to the Great Qin Kingdom and actively absorb the power of heaven and earth, and Li Chunfeng will naturally come over.

When the time comes, the person will be right in front of him, so Li Chunfeng will either have to cooperate willingly.

Alternatively, Chu Qinghe would grab Li Chunfeng by the neck and force him to cooperate.

After thinking it over, Chu Qinghe turned his gaze to another wooden carving on the table.

Once Chu Qinghe held the wooden carving in his hand and used his true essence to activate the energy within it, a system notification popped up in front of him.

[Ding! Detected a mid-grade Dao-level martial art – "Sacred Heart Technique". Proceed with cultivation?]

However, Chu Qinghe did not choose to cultivate despite the system's prompt.

The next second, the contents of the Sacred Heart Manual flowed rapidly through Chu Qinghe's mind like a fleeting glance.

Like "The Steps to Immortality", "The Sacred Heart Technique" is also an unparalleled divine skill created by Emperor Shitian after spending a thousand years collecting martial arts from all over the world. It also contains several strange attack moves and mental techniques, such as the Sacred Heart Four Tribulations.

Among them, the "Four Calamities of the Sacred Heart" is the most bizarre and powerful.

"The Shocking Calamity" captivates with its icy gaze.

He uses his gaze to exert power, circulating his true essence and the power of heaven and earth to defend himself against enemies.

"Evil Blood Calamity" uses blood to draw blood, causing the opponent to die from exhaustion.

"Heavenly Heart Tribulation" uses one's own heart to influence the enemy's heart, causing the opponent's heart and soul to shatter violently.

The "Divine Calamity" technique allows one to use their primordial spirit as a weapon after entering the Divine Illumination Realm and condensing their primordial spirit.
