Chapter 200: Awakening of Divine Skill, Leaving the Mountain!

In other words, from now on, I no longer need to search for any spiritual mountains or rivers; I just need to bask in the sun and moonlight to enhance my cultivation.

“Hahaha!”

Thinking of this, Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He even wanted to improvise a poem, but lacking in cultural knowledge, he had to give up.

“One must not become complacent; many have gained enlightenment before me. I need to focus on my training!”

After a moment, Chen Ansheng calmed himself down and sat cross-legged by the lakeshore.

Having experienced the wonders of a “self-forgetfulness state,” even as a mortal, he immersed himself in cultivation faster than others.

Breathing in, breathing out…

Gradually, Chen Ansheng could clearly feel the radiant moonlight transforming into spiritual energy with his inhalation and exhalation, nourishing his entire body.

A night passed.

As dawn broke, Chen Ansheng stopped his cultivation to check the results of his night’s practice.

“Whoa, ha!”

Chen Ansheng threw a punch that hit a willow tree.

The old willow tree was directly blasted through by his punch.

“I’m absorbing the moonlight; not only has my strength increased, but my physical defense has also been enhanced.”

In simple terms, absorbing moonlight is equivalent to body cultivation, allowing for an overall improvement in physical qualities.

“It’s been a long time since I ate meat. Let me go down and try to catch some fish.”

Chen Ansheng wasn’t particularly hungry but felt a craving; besides, he could exercise in the lake.

Then, he dove into the clear waters of the lake.

Soon, he spotted a large red fish. The fish swam swiftly, and Chen Ansheng gave chase.

In the end, the large fish managed to escape.

“I’m too slow!”

Chen Ansheng sighed, and suddenly a thought struck him.

“Since I can absorb the essence of the sun and moon like a demon cultivator, why not try creating a demonic technique? Let it start with this fish-catching technique!”

Thus, Chen Ansheng began to recall the movements of the large fish, repeating them over and over, observing and practicing…

About an hour later, a shadow dashed across the bottom of the lake, striking a large black fish, which was instantly split in two!

“Splash!”

Chen Ansheng lifted half of the large black fish and used his strength to leap onto the shore.

In just an hour, his self-created fish-catching technique had been perfected, allowing him to swim freely underwater.

“Once I cultivate my energy, I will be able to travel through rivers and seas without any restrictions!”

Chen Ansheng was very satisfied with his enlightenment.

Shortly thereafter, he used stones to spark a fire, roasting the large black fish until it turned golden, and enjoyed a hearty meal.

In the subsequent month.

Chen Ansheng first mastered the Sunlight Immortal Scripture, reaching a level where he could absorb spiritual energy anytime and anywhere as long as he basked in the sun.

At night, he did not need to deliberately cultivate; just sleeping outdoors would allow him to naturally absorb the essence of the moon, enhancing his physical body.

After refining his fish-catching technique to its peak by the lake, Chen Ansheng began to ascend the mountain, challenging other ferocious beasts to create his own skills.

Observing the glaring tiger, he created the Tiger Roar Technique—drawing energy to the dantian, compressing it at the throat, releasing it explosively, with sound waves stacking upon each other, causing blood to flow from all seven orifices of those who heard it!

Observing the willow fluff, he created the Shadow Following Technique—floating and agile, without a trace, able to follow you like your shadow!

Observing the white ape, he created the Divine Ape Fist—with a fist force that could uproot mountains and overturn seas, combined with the Shadow Following Technique, it was mysterious and deadly, capable of killing with a single punch!

Observing the wild grass, he created the Grass Sword Technique—any who touch its edge will suffer wounds that leave a thorn-like sword intent, causing unbearable pain, unhealable by medicine!

“I wonder how others are faring in their cultivation. I have created my divine skill and achieved considerable results. It’s time to go out and test my skills.”

After devouring an entire roasted tiger leg, Chen Ansheng prepared to leave the lakeside.

Whoosh, whoosh…

He moved like the wind, running faster than a tiger.

In less than an hour, he returned to the mountain peak he had visited before.

From the collapsed area of trees on that mountain, remnants of his battle with Mu Qinglian over a month ago could still be seen.

Continuing forward, he often spotted inscriptions carved into the trunks of the old trees—“Pervert, may you die a terrible death!”

“Tsk.”

Chen Ansheng looked on with disdain.

Now that I possess such divine skills, why should I be afraid?

Immediately, he leaped several hundred zhang ahead, heading toward a mountain in the east.

“Hand over the Wind Spirit Technique, or don’t blame us for being rude!”

After running for about two hours, Chen Ansheng arrived at a valley where sounds came from ahead.

He crouched down like a tiger waiting for a meal, concealing all his movements as he approached the valley.

After a while, in a low area, Chen Ansheng saw one woman and three men, holding wooden swords and surrounding a purple-clad woman.

“Mu Qinglian! What do you mean by this? Why are you stealing my technique?!”

The purple-clad woman was so angry her chest heaved, and she spoke coldly.

Chen Ansheng frowned; he didn’t expect to encounter Mu Qinglian right away.

At this moment, she wore a thin veil, her proud figure faintly visible, irresistibly alluring to an ordinary person.

That said, Chen Ansheng was indeed an ordinary person.

However, he didn’t rush out immediately; instead, he waited to see what trick Mu Qinglian was playing.

“Slap!”

As the purple-clad woman fumed, Mu Qinglian suddenly slapped her.

“Before you entered the path, you relied on our protection and consumed our provisions. Who do you think this technique should rightfully belong to?”

Mu Qinglian said arrogantly.

The purple-clad woman covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes as she cried, “I exchanged those skills for spiritual fruits!”

“Chen Yuling, are you really stupid or pretending to be? It’s clear we are here to trick you. What reason do you have to talk about fairness? How absurd,” one of the men said with amusement.

The purple-clad woman, Chen Yuling, was completely taken aback.

“So, from the very beginning, you were plotting against me! Why? Wasn’t it agreed that we would compete fairly!”

Chen Yuling cried.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qinglian and the others laughed mockingly.

“You’re really foolish. Someone like you, weak and without a solid background, who the hell would want to compete fairly with you? Go back to sleep!”

Chen Yuling came from a declining great saint family. To have this chance to enter the ancient spirit realm, her family had offered substantial tributes to another great clan, allowing her to enter alone for cultivation.

Thus, the outstanding disciples of other great families had never regarded Chen Yuling as a threat.

As Mu Qinglian said, you are weak and without a strong background; who would want to compete fairly with you?

These words not only pierced Chen Yuling’s heart but also triggered a surge of emotion in the hidden Chen Ansheng.

Seeing the lonely and helpless Chen Yuling weeping, Chen Ansheng seemed to see a reflection of his past self.
