Yuanqing Courtyard.
Secret Chamber.
’My Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill is just one step away. After midnight, I can upgrade it to Tier Five Outstanding.’
Yang Chan sat cross-legged, regulating his breath.
He had been focusing on his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill these past few days, and now it was time to reap the rewards.
Even after confirming that none of the major powers had sent Martial Saint experts into the large Secret Realm near Yu City, he was in no hurry to go. He was waiting for his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill to break through.
One naturally needed to be well-prepared before entering such a dangerous Secret Realm. After all, it was filled with many experts at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm.
Even with the Black Dragon as a trump card, Yang Chan still felt it wasn’t enough. He needed another.
Since his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill was close to a breakthrough, it naturally became his top priority.
Sitting cross-legged now, he focused on adjusting his mindset.
He calmed his heart and quieted his spirit.
’It’s here!’
Before long, Yang Chan noticed the Potential Points refreshing on his panel.
He directly allocated the points to his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill on the panel. Instantly, Yang Chan felt streams of vitality surging endlessly within him, as if he had transformed into a Longevity Divine Medicine, completely enveloped by immense vitality.
Immersed in this vitality, he felt his entire body sighing in profound comfort. It was as if countless people were massaging him—or to be more precise, it was even better than a massage, because every cell of his flesh and blood was rejoicing, feeling utterly content.
At the same time, enveloped by this vitality, Yang Chan could feel the very plane of his existence undergoing a constant transformation.
The lifespan of the Human Race was not particularly long; compared to the Longevity Species, it was practically nothing. A human in the Martial Saint Realm might only have one-fourth the lifespan of a Longevity Species at the same level—or even less.
But now, Yang Chan felt his own body undergoing a metamorphosis, as if his physical form was evolving toward that of a Longevity Species.
Previously, he had cultivated numerous Health Cultivation Techniques, and his lifespan already far exceeded that of Martial Arts Experts at the same tier, but he had never experienced a metamorphosis like this before.
At most, his entire body had been enhanced, with his strength, speed, reaction time, and Spiritual Power all fortified. Now, however, after all those enhancements, it was beginning to truly metamorphose.
Upgrading the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill to Tier Five Outstanding had triggered this transformation.
All his previous accumulation had been in preparation for this moment.
Even before the breakthrough, Yang Chan had sensed that his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill would undergo a major transformation after reaching Tier Five, but he had never expected it to be this significant.
At the same time, Yang Chan had the feeling that even if his body were maimed, it could now recover, completely restoring itself to its original state.
This brought a particular ability to mind: Limb Regeneration.
As long as his head and heart remained intact, any other part of his body could be restored, no matter how grievously it was injured.
If he were ambushed, as long as his skull wasn’t shattered and his heart wasn’t completely destroyed, he could likely still recover.
This was information that flowed back from the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill after its upgrade to Tier Five. At the same time, new memories concerning Tai Chi Boxing also surfaced in Yang Chan’s mind.
The Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill was derived from Tai Chi Boxing. It had been created for health purposes, a Cultivation Technique more suitable for ordinary people. This was also why Yang Chan had been able to learn it—it was simple and easy to understand.
Among the memories now flowing into him was the true Tai Chi Boxing—not the abridged version, but the complete art, now contained within his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill.
Returning to the Source.
At this moment, the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill was no longer purely for health. It was now a Health Cultivation Technique that also contained Tai Chi Boxing. The moves he practiced became more complex, but its potential ceiling was also much higher.
’I had a feeling the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill would change significantly after breaking through to Tier Five, but I never imagined it would be this drastic!’
Yang Chan remained seated cross-legged, his body still absorbing the vitality that was causing its transformation. With every bit of this Vitality Power his body absorbed, the Lifespan value on his panel increased, with no upper limit in sight.
His Talent was the same, constantly increasing.
And the metamorphosis was not yet over.
This outcome exceeded Yang Chan’s expectations; the benefits of this breakthrough were even greater than he had anticipated.
The Tai Chi Boxing Cultivation Method was an even bigger surprise. Although he hadn’t tried it yet, he could already tell how beneficial it would be.
This was also the key to advancing his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill to Tier Six, and even to higher tiers beyond that.
’I can already achieve Limb Regeneration. If I continue to upgrade my Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill, sooner or later, I’ll definitely be able to perform Flesh Derivation and even Blood Rebirth. I might even reach the legendary state of being indestructible as long as heaven and earth exist—and persisting even after they perish.’
’If I reach that stage, I can finally do whatever I want, because no one will be able to kill me. You could even say that no being in existence could possibly destroy me.’
’Now *that* is a true life-preserving measure.’
’This current Limb Regeneration sounds powerful, but it still has its flaws.’
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Yang Chan mentally extinguished the flames of his growing arrogance. ’One can’t get too complacent after a breakthrough,’ he reminded himself, ’or the next one might be your last.’
’This transformation from the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill’s Tier Five breakthrough is taking a while!’
’But a long while is a good while!’
After Yang Chan upgraded his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill to Tier Five, his body had been continuously transforming, absorbing immense vitality for a very long time.
Of course, Yang Chan wasn’t complaining about the length of time. In fact, he wished it would last even longer, because the more time he spent absorbing, the more benefits he would receive.
His Lifespan and Talent were both increasing—these were tangible benefits. Moreover, the transformation of his physical body had elevated it far beyond that of an ordinary Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster.
Whether it was his strength, speed, or terrifying regenerative ability, he had only experienced a portion of these benefits when his Martial Arts Cultivation broke through to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster realm. It was only now, with his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill at Tier Five, that he could feel the remainder.
Yang Chan was already looking forward to the transformation that would occur when his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill reached Tier Six. Although it would take much longer, for him, it was only a matter of time.
Now that his body was capable of Limb Regeneration, he would be much more confident when he entered the newly appeared, large-scale Secret Realm.
The more life-saving measures he had, the safer he would be inside the Secret Realm, which was naturally a good thing for him.
While feeling his body transform, Yang Chan discovered that Spirit Plants had actually sprouted in the spot where he was sitting cross-legged. During his transformation, the area around him had become completely enveloped in lush greenery.
He knew for a fact that before his breakthrough, he had meticulously cleaned the spot where he sat. There had been nothing there, yet now Spirit Grass was growing, and it had appeared in a very short time.
Only then did Yang Chan perceive even more clearly the benefits of this transformative Vitality Power. It was even more potent than he had imagined.
Even the Spiritual Qi that leaked from Secret Realms didn’t have such a terrifying effect. That energy would only slowly transform ordinary herbs into Spirit Medicine over time. Yet here, right beside him, Spirit Medicine had sprouted directly from nothing.
This transformation left him utterly speechless!
