“Eight Nine Mysterious Art” includes the Seventy-Two Transformations, all capable of transforming—it’s nothing special to just conceal and change a bit of aura!
Of course, the Seventy-Two Transformations belong to the later stages of the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” that can only be cultivated.
At best, you need to cultivate the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” to Level Seven to learn the Seventy-Two Transformations.
They have just begun cultivating the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, and haven’t even successfully cultivated the first level.
In fact, they don’t even know whether they can master the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, so the Seventy-Two Transformations are still a long way off!
Everyone quickly left the Boundless Bloody Hell and returned to the small Thousand World, then all started cultivating the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” simultaneously.
Cao Zhen was also cultivating the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” and he discovered that cultivating it was seriously difficult.
After a day of cultivation, he even doubted himself, thinking that without these disciples enabling him to win effortlessly, relying solely on himself, he would be like the most talentless and stupid Disciple in the Sects.
He had cultivated the whole day and still hadn’t reached Level One of the Eight Nine Mysterious Art.
Then he began to check the cultivation progress of Li Ke and his disciples.
Ling Xi: Eight Nine Mysterious Art Zero Level.
Yan Yourong was also Zero Level.
Li Ke, Bei Yan, Duo Duo…
Apart from Xiang Ziyu, everyone’s Eight Nine Mysterious Art level was Zero Level, which immediately made Cao Zhen feel balanced.
It seems everyone’s the same.
His disciples, although Ling Xi and the others possess Ancient Immortal Bodies which prevent them from breaking through realms, they can still cultivate Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques, and they do so at an astonishingly fast rate.
Otherwise, Five Elements Peak’s Qiu Wuxing would not have agreed to give Yan Yourong their treasured Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills from Five Elements Peak.
And Li Ke is a known prodigy of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Seeing that even they are cultivating so slowly shows just how difficult the Eight Nine Mysterious Art is to master.
Even Xiang Ziyu, who had an entire day, only managed to cultivate the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” to Level One.
Xiang Ziyu possesses the ability to understand everything at a glance and has cultivated two completely different Divine Skills as if they were one, mastering them successfully.
He could cultivate a Divine Skill that was mostly incomplete and in the Golden Core Stage, master Divine Skills meant for the Earth Immortal Realm.
Xiang Ziyu took a whole day to cultivate it to Level One, showing just how difficult the Eight Nine Mysterious Art is.
Before this, when Xiang Ziyu became the Transmission Elder of the Hundred Peaks Sect and secluded himself for cultivation, brushing aside the Sect’s Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills, let alone one day, it wasn’t rare for him to raise the Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills to Level One.
It was slow for him to master one single Divine Skill or Cultivation Technique in a day.
Sometimes, he could master three different Cultivation Techniques or Divine Skills in one day – not just learn them, but cultivate them to the ultimate level he could reach with his current Cultivation Base.
And Cao Zhen also got to lazily win at the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” to Level One thanks to Xiang Ziyu.
However, “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” is different from other Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills; for other techniques and skills, he could win effortlessly and that was that.
But the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” is a Body Refining Divine Skill, and Cao Zhen still needed to activate it himself, once he’d effortlessly reached Level One, to achieve the Body Refining effect.
With the Level One “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” in motion, he immediately felt every meridian, every bone, every inch of skin and muscle, and even every cell, start to change with the circulation of the technique, becoming tougher.
Moreover, this sensation was very distinct, not just a vague feeling.
And this was only Level One of the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art”!
Cao Zhen thrilled with the transformation he was feeling within himself.
He had now reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage and was seemingly unable to break through within the Golden Core Stage, but now, after cultivating the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art”, his strength had indeed increased.
If he continued to cultivate it without the lofty aspiration of mastering the Eight Nine Mysterious Art to the top, they were only at the Golden Core Stage, so no matter how they cultivated, it was impossible for them to bring the Eight Nine Mysterious Art to the top level.
Even a Golden Immortal couldn’t master the Eight Nine Mysterious Art to the top level; at most, they could reach the eighth transformation.
The “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” has a total of nine transformations, each with a requirement for the Cultivation Realm, and without reaching that realm you truly cannot cultivate it.
In fact, the “Temporal Celestial Rotation” that Xiang Ziyu originally mastered also had requirements for the Cultivation Realm.
It’s just that Xiang Ziyu modified it a bit, so that it could be used during the Golden Core Stage.
But the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art”…
Xiang Ziyu really doesn’t have the ability to modify it at the moment.
Let alone modifying it, cultivating the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” was a hardship for Xiang Ziyu.
On the second day, everyone else’s Eight Nine Mysterious Art was still Zero Level, while by evening, Xiang Ziyu’s “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” had already broken through to Level Two.
It wasn’t until the third day that everyone’s “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” level finally broke through to Level One.
And Xiang Ziyu had already cultivated the Eight Nine Mysterious Art to Level Three.
An average of, one level of the Eight Nine Mysterious Art per day.
Yet afterward, when he brought the Eight Nine Mysterious Art to Level Five, it took three days, and everyone else only barely managed to cultivate the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” to the second level.
At Level Five of the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art”, Cao Zhen could distinctly feel his physical body becoming incredibly powerful.
With his current physical condition, he was completely confident that he could avoid the Divine Skills of ordinary Golden Core Stages.
Even if he didn’t dodge, he was confident that he could withstand the Divine Skills of an ordinary Golden Core Stage with just his physical body.
And the Level Five “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” was only half-completed.
The Eight Nine Mysterious Art has ten levels per cycle, with the highest being ninety levels.
‘Indeed, I still need to rely on Xiang Ziyu to win effortlessly!’ Cao Zhen secretly calculated.
It took Xiang Ziyu six days to cultivate the “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” to Level Five, and even if the remaining levels got harder to cultivate, giving Xiang Ziyu ten days to cultivate one level every two days shouldn’t be a problem, right?
But alas, not to mention the next two days, four days later, when others had already increased their “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” to Level Two, Xiang Ziyu’s cultivation of the Eight Nine Mysterious Art was still at Level Five.
And then, when others had raised their “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” to Level Three, Xiang Ziyu’s “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” was still at Level Five.
Cao Zhen was somewhat unable to comprehend the situation.
Even if the latter stages of “Eight Nine Mysterious Art” were more difficult to cultivate, how much more difficult could it be compared to the earlier stages?
This was cultivating from Level Five to Level Six, not from Level Ten to Eleven, crossing a cycle.
And Xiang Ziyu was someone who could understand everything at a glance, so why would he suddenly hit a wall?
