Chapter 384: Chapter 248: Fallen God Finger and the Perception Secret Technique

Suddenly, Yu Fei’s mind snapped back, and his wits took command once more.

He was shocked to realize that he had unconsciously mastered the wondrous art, Void Clearing Mirror. As memories of the previous night flooded his mind, he sensed that something was amiss and immediately got out of bed to check.

"Sigh..."

Scattered across the floor were twelve empty bottles of Senluo Jade Fruit. He had actually consumed all of the high-energy elixirs.

He had contacted Senior Sister Zhuo Feiming through Ye Shuping to request purchasing a portion of the Senluo Jade Fruit. But to his surprise, she had been incredibly generous, gifting him a large quantity without a second thought.

After the delivery arrived last night, he, having lost his senses in the throes of cultivation, had gulped them all down. Fortunately, the elixir’s effects were very gentle and would remain latent within his body unless he was in danger, which was why no disaster had occurred.

The previous night’s dream had been exceedingly strange. The Star Soul Forging Scripture refined all sorts of bizarre rays of light in the spiritual realm, so his dreams after his daily cultivation were always fantastical and peculiar.

In them, he would often transform into a strange form of light and experience countless fantastical scenes, but none had ever felt so real.

The description of the Cultivation Technique mentioned that some cultivators had used this process to comprehend wondrous arts—a phenomenon known in ancient times as a divine revelation.

Recalling the peculiar sensation from the previous night, Yu Fei mobilized a wisp of Inner Qi, condensing it in his palm and letting it spiral continuously.

Perhaps because the memory of the sensation was so vivid, he was able to slowly but surely complete the strange pattern from his dream.

HUMMM...

The moment he finished, the wisp of Inner Qi in his hand erupted in a vibrant glow. The primordial energy flowing naturally through the world was stirred, forming a unique and intricate structure. In an instant, a powerful wave of energy burst forth. A fine beam of destructive light shot from Yu Fei’s finger, piercing a tiny hole through the wall.

"This..."

Yu Fei’s eyes widened. He leaped over to the wall to inspect it.

The construction materials in the Geometric Pyramid Realm were high-quality; even Yu Fei would have to expend some effort to break through a wall.

Yet the strange beam of light had just silently bored a hole the size of a grain of rice. He touched it with his finger, feeling the fine powder that coated the inside.

’Looks like... I learned one hell of a technique last night!’

He recalled the dream in detail. He had been just one ray of light among countless others that condensed into different patterns. By resonating with each other, they had unleashed an attack of ultimate destruction.

’How much of that dream was real, and how much was false?’

His insight into the resonance was the key that allowed him to master the Void Clearing Mirror, while this specific pattern had somehow evolved into an offensive technique.

Yu Fei recalled the core principles of the Star Soul Forging Scripture.

According to this Cultivation Technique, light itself, throughout the universe, carried power that ordinary people were completely unable to perceive.

By using stellar orbits as a guide, a Martial Artist’s soul could perceive and enter a fantastical ocean of light that possessed transcendent properties.

When a Martial Artist absorbed and refined this light energy, it was possible to receive the transcendent information held within. If the cultivator and the information were compatible, they would attain an epiphany.

Without further delay, he immediately headed to the training hall on the fifth floor.

The training hall was specially constructed, its defenses far exceeding those of a normal building.

It also had special targets made from a unique synthetic material, similar to what was used for the base stations in their military exercises, only far more advanced.

On the west side of the training hall stood five massive silver pillars. The third one was already covered in slash marks.

These five testing pillars were designed to measure the destructive power of Inner Qi but had relatively poor defenses against physical attacks. Yu Fei typically used them as targets when he mastered a new Swordsmanship technique or tested the might of his Immeasurable Sword Qi.

Most of the marks on the third pillar were shallow, with only a few occasional gashes reaching a finger’s depth—an effect only achievable by imbuing his attacks with Sword Intent.

This indicated that the destructive power of his Immeasurable Sword Qi could reach the level of Weak Gang Qi. A single strand of his Sword Qi wasn’t actually that powerful on its own. It was only because Yu Fei unleashed thousands, even tens of thousands of them at once, that he was always victorious.

After a moment’s thought, Yu Fei channeled his Inner Qi with all his might to form the complex, dynamic pattern. It took him a full three minutes to complete it.

An icy beam of light, radiating an aura of destruction, shot out like a bolt of lightning. It was only as thick as a soybean, but it instantly pierced the third silver pillar and vanished after traveling five meters.

Yu Fei swallowed hard, utterly astonished.

’What kind of dark art is this...?’

He then turned his gaze to the fourth pillar.

Three minutes later, Yu Fei stared blankly at the fourth pillar. Its surface was perfectly smooth, but a hole had abruptly appeared in its center.

This time, it hadn’t pierced all the way through, but it had bored a hole about ten centimeters deep.

This proved that the peculiar technique he’d acquired from his dream could unleash Grandmaster-level destructive power, even though he was only in the Inner Qi Realm.

The discovery thrilled him beyond words.

He vaguely recalled from his dream that he had been only an infinitesimal part of that massive attack. There was no telling how many other rays of light had been around him, forming all sorts of strange patterns.

If that dream was a memory of a real event, Yu Fei couldn’t begin to imagine how powerful the beings involved must have been. It also suggested that humanity was far from the only civilization in the universe. The vast, starry sky might hold a completely different, fantastically magnificent reality.

Yu Fei then focused all his attention on this newly comprehended technique. He was so captivated by its incredible offensive power that he completely forgot to even examine the Void Clearing Mirror he had just mastered.

After a long while, Yu Fei gave up in frustration. Through a morning of testing, he discovered he couldn’t alter the technique in the slightest—he couldn’t even speed up the process of forming the pattern.

It seemed to be subject to some unseen limitation. This strange, platinum-white beam had a maximum effective range of five meters and only required a small amount of Inner Qi to execute.
