Chapter 615: Chapter 296: Four Symbols True Inheritor

Increasing the utilization rate of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the Source Crystal Jades, and avoiding waste as much as possible, did indeed speed up his Cultivation Progress somewhat.

But Chen Cheng had only ever gotten his hands on five Source Crystal Jades. Over the past few months of Cultivation, he often went without using them, and they were still not enough.

After this Cultivation session of the Primordial Pill Marrow Cleansing Method, he didn’t have a single Source Crystal Jade left.

This was a classic case of the saying "poverty for scholars, wealth for warriors." Chen Cheng was still dirt poor!

Of course, if anyone else found out he was using a top-tier Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object like Source Crystal Jade to cultivate the Primordial Pill Marrow Cleansing Method—and had even begun researching how to improve its utilization rate—they would probably curse him through gritted teeth, "What a damn spendthrift!"

Five Source Crystal Jades were worth at least five million taels of patterned silver. Moreover, you couldn’t buy them even if you had the money; no one was willing to sell.

In just a few short months, Chen Cheng had squandered them all. If that wasn’t being a spendthrift, what was?

Even the True Disciples from the Major Sects probably wouldn’t dare to be so extravagant!

However, Chen Cheng clearly had a compelling reason to be so extravagant.

Wealth and treasures were merely worldly possessions. Only a tangible increase in his Martial Arts Power was the true foundation for survival.

Although Situ Mu hadn’t explicitly said so, Chen Cheng could feel the situation in the Land of the North had reached a tipping point, like the calm before a storm or a city about to be crushed by dark, pressing clouds.

In the near future, there was the threat from the powerful rise of the Taiyi Sect. In ten years, once the Taiyi Sect’s Leader, Liu Fufeng, consolidated his Cultivation, he would very likely provoke a large-scale conflict between the Sects.

Chen Cheng’s current combat power was considered quite formidable within the Acquired Body Refining Realm, enough for him to protect himself at the Prefecture City level. However, on the scale of a Major Sect in a State City, he was insignificant.

Only by cultivating to Organ Refining Realm Perfection as quickly as possible, then opening his Human Acupoints to advance to the Puncture Realm and reach the Innate stage, would he stand a chance of facing what was to come.

Furthermore, an invasion by the Northern Barbarian Race, the Demon Race, and the Demon Race would likely happen within the next twenty to thirty years.

In a conflict of that level, even Martial Arts Grandmasters could fall, to say nothing of Martial Artists below that realm. A great many of them would be reduced to cannon fodder.

Therefore, Chen Cheng had only one thought in his mind: ’Get stronger, and stronger still, until I’m invincible under heaven and can control everything!’

「An hour later.」

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the secret chamber had thinned out again, becoming nearly the same as the outside world.

Chen Cheng stopped his Cultivation and summoned his status panel to take a look.

’Cultivating the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm is much slower than I expected.’

After increasing the training weights, the Cultivation Progress for the Iron Armor Demon Suppression Skill had indeed skyrocketed.

But because it consumed a massive amount of Qi Blood Power, he could only cultivate for one or two hours each day, which amounted to only a dozen or so points of progress.

Adding in the occasional bonus from entering a deeply focused state of self-forgetfulness, his monthly progress only increased by four to five hundred points.

At this rate, it would take him more than a year, almost two, to cultivate it to the Perfection Realm.

Of course, increasing the Demonic Thought Value in his Demon Thought Cage could also accelerate his Cultivation Progress.

Unfortunately, Demonic Thought Value could only be obtained by converting the Demonic Qi from Demons. With no trace of Demons in Linji City, there was nothing he could do about it.

The Cultivation Progress for the Primordial Pill Marrow Cleansing Method was even slower. Without Source Crystal Jades, it would only increase by about three hundred points a month, meaning it would take over two years to reach Perfection.

’I’m desperate to raise my Martial Arts Power, so taking two or three years to reach Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection just isn’t good enough.’

Of course, this was just by his own standards. Compared to anyone else, such progress was already heaven-defying!

As for his Cultivation of various techniques and skills, his focus remained on further improving his practical combat abilities.

Over the past few months, he had cultivated the Flame Sun Sword Skill, Seven-Star Sword Technique, and Green Wave Sword Technique to the point where he could forcibly channel his Qi Blood Power to manifest their respective Realms. ℯℯ𝑙.

These choices also confirmed his earlier suspicion: cultivating various First Layer Realms was affected by their compatibility with each other.

The Radiant Sun Realm of the Flame Sun Sword Skill and the Star Moon Realm of the Seven-Star Sword Technique complemented each other like the sun and moon, like Yin and Yang, so their Cultivation Progress was relatively fast.

Meanwhile, the Green Wave Sword Technique’s Gui Water Realm had a subtle compatibility with the Frost Snow Condensation Realm. Because of this, the deduction progress for the Second Layer of the Frost Snow Condensation Realm had greatly increased.
