For Gu Yang,
cultivation techniques mattered more than martial skills.
After all, his golden finger…
was directly tied to his cultivation level.
If he couldn’t break through to the Qi Gathering Realm, the revision limit would remain within a ten-year window.
There was no way to fully utilize his ability!
But once he advanced and extended the time span,
the range of things he could revise would expand drastically!
At that thought, Gu Yang couldn’t wait to flip open the
Pure Origin Technique
and began reading it with great focus.
This time, it took him a little longer than it did with the sword technique—
about ten minutes to firmly memorize the incantation for
Pure Origin
.
But that didn’t matter.
Gu Yang’s eyes lit up.
With a focused thought—
“Revise
Pure Origin Technique
, time set… ten years later!”
The moment the revision completed,
a flood of insights about
Pure Origin
surged into Gu Yang’s mind.
At the same time, Gu Yang began channeling
Pure Origin
without hesitation.
After just one round of cultivation, Gu Yang was left stunned.
“
Pure Origin Technique
… has already broken through to the third level?”
One had to understand—whether it was top-tier or low-tier,
all human-grade cultivation techniques had only three levels.
Comprehending the third level meant perfection!
And that would push one’s cultivation efficiency to the limit!
But if it took ten years and still couldn’t reach the third level,
then that comprehension would’ve been far too weak.
Gu Yang sighed,
then swallowed the premium Qi Gathering Pill he’d bought earlier without delay.
The pill dissolved into a stream of extremely pure energy that slid down his throat,
spreading through all his limbs and bones.
Gu Yang felt heat flooding his body.
Without pause, he activated
Pure Origin
again,
quickly refining the powerful energy inside him.
Time trickled by.
Not long after—
Gu Yang’s eyes snapped open.
A profound energy suddenly erupted from his body.
The next moment, he raised his hand—
a stream of blue energy instantly gathered in his palm,
flickering and dancing with mystical brilliance.
“This is… True Qi!”
“I’ve finally broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm!”
Gu Yang waved his hand, and the True Qi dissipated.
Feeling the decent reservoir of Qi in his dantian, he couldn’t help but smile.
The True Qi refined from
Pure Origin
was indeed thick and rich—
and the cultivation speed wasn’t bad either.
Having reached the Qi Gathering Realm,
Gu Yang didn’t rush to continue cultivating.
“With this breakthrough, my golden finger has also refreshed.”
“I can finally revise up to a hundred years ahead!”
Gu Yang was ecstatic.
“Revise
Gale Sword
, time set… a hundred years later!”
Eyes gleaming with anticipation, he focused—
then closed his eyes.
The next instant, an immense and weighty stream of memory surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
Gu Yang greedily absorbed every insight on
Gale Sword
from within the memory.
He was inwardly awestruck.
As he absorbed the information, he subconsciously picked up the longsword by his side—
and began to swing it.
Absorb. Comprehend.
Swing. Integrate!
As he moved, Gu Yang gradually demonstrated the new knowledge he’d acquired.
After a complete set, he was overjoyed.
His mastery of the sword technique had now reached the
minute level
.
Minute mastery!
If paired with the
Windcloud Sword Art
…
Tch,
Gu Yang couldn’t even imagine how terrifying the result would be!
Not only that, but his understanding of
Sword Intent
had also deepened.
He was now close to grasping
20% Sword Intent
.
Close
—but not quite there yet.
That made Gu Yang sigh a little.
So mastering Sword Intent really is incredibly difficult.
Even after a hundred years of insights, he hadn’t fully reached the 20% mark.
Shaking his head, Gu Yang cast aside the frustration.
Now that he could revise up to a hundred years,
his other martial arts could also be upgraded.
Especially the
Windcloud Sword Art
he’d just revised—
now it had another chance to improve!
With that thought, Gu Yang revised again without hesitation.
“Revise
Windcloud Sword Art
, time set… a hundred years later!”
Swoosh!
In the next moment, Gu Yang’s eyes flew open—
new realizations about the
Windcloud Sword Art
flooded his mind.
As his understanding deepened,
Gu Yang’s expression shifted in shock.
Because he discovered—
through these hundred years of enlightenment,
his mastery of
Windcloud Sword Art
had changed in an unexpected way!
It’s been improved?
Some useless parts were removed, others enhanced with personal insight…
and now it’s become a Mystic-grade low-tier sword technique?!
Within his realization,
Gu Yang finally noticed the information in his mind had shifted.
It was these subtle changes that transformed
Windcloud Sword Art
from a top-tier human-grade technique
into a
Mystic-grade low-tier
technique!
“I didn’t expect something this good!”
Gu Yang was thrilled.
The gap between human-grade and Mystic-grade was no small leap.
It was enormous—like a chasm!
Now that the
Windcloud Sword Art
had been upgraded to Mystic-grade,
and cultivated to perfection,
his potential combat power had increased tenfold at least!
More importantly…
his Sword Intent had finally surpassed the 20% threshold!
“So this… is the insight of a century?”
Gu Yang could hardly contain his excitement.
The gains this time were enormous!
“Continue.”
But he didn’t get carried away.
Besides sword techniques, his cultivation method and two other martial arts
could also be revised.
He wouldn’t waste the opportunity!
Time flew by.
By noon the next day,
his cultivation method and all martial skills had been completely revised.
Gu Yang now wore a radiant smile.
He had expected a major boost in power upon reaching the Qi Gathering Realm—
but he hadn’t imagined…
a century of progress would make him this terrifying!
Pure Origin Technique
after a hundred years of insight—
had also been improved.
It had evolved from a top-tier human-grade technique
into a
Mystic-grade low-tier
technique!
Now with four levels, he had already cultivated it to perfection!
His ability to absorb spiritual energy had become significantly faster—
and his refining speed was now far beyond what it used to be.
Although Gu Yang hadn’t tested the exact difference yet,
the improvement was tangible!
Aside from
Pure Origin
,
his movement technique—
Ghostshadow Step
—had also been upgraded.
From a high-tier human-grade technique to a top-tier one.
That made his combat agility even more seamless.
Gu Yang was quite satisfied with that.
Of course, what surprised him the most—
was
Vajra Fist
!
After its revision and a hundred years of insights,
it too had been upgraded—
all the way to
Mystic-grade low-tier
!
From a high-tier human-grade to Mystic-grade low-tier in a century!
That kind of comprehension…
Maybe my talent isn’t so bad after all?
On top of that, he’d also gained
10% Fist Intent
from it!
An unexpected bonus!
Now, the sheer range of techniques at his disposal was truly terrifying.
After all…
One Mystic-grade cultivation method,
plus two Mystic-grade martial skills—
all cultivated to perfection
!
Even among Inner Sect disciples,
such a thing would be nearly unheard of!
And following this series of revisions, Gu Yang also discovered something new.
