“In theory, only two secret skills that do not conflict with each other in terms of body modification can be compatible and complementary.”

Sun Yihe stroked his chin, deep in thought.

“But such secret skills are rare and most of them are impractical.”

Li Wuji immediately objected.

“Have you forgotten the consequences of me cultivating the Two Extremes Divine Separation Technique?”

“If Chen Sheng repeats my mistakes, then—”

Li Wuji shuddered at the thought.

If Chen Sheng ends up like him,

His physical body taken away.

What serious consequences would that lead to?

Even without the Heavenly Person’s awakening,

Chen Sheng alone could potentially wipe out humanity.

Furthermore,

Throughout the years the respected elder has appeared, he has not done anything outrageous and even helped the Martial Arts Association strengthen the seal and grow its power.

That’s because the respected elder was born in response to Li Wuji’s vision of saving mankind and eliminating the Heavenly Person.

Although it may sound like he’s underestimating others based on his own narrow-mindedness,

Li Wuji cannot guarantee what kind of aspirations Chen Sheng’s split personality will have in the future.

The more he imagined it, the more frightened he became.

No matter what,

Li Wuji didn’t want such things to happen.

“Do I need you to tell me?”

Sun Yihe spoke again.

His eyes slightly narrowed, as if considering something.

“If there is a cultivation technique,”

“That does not conflict with most secret skills and has already been cultivated to a high level by others without any problems,”

“I think we can let Chen Sheng try it.”

Hmm?

Li Wuji’s expression changed.

Looking at Sun Yihe’s expression, it seemed like he thought of something.

“Are you talking about…your Seven Demon Mental Method?”

“Exactly.”

“The cultivation method of the Seven Demon Mental Method is similar to the Two Extremes Divine Separation Technique.”

“Although there are great risks involved, I think if it’s Chen Sheng…”

Upon hearing this,

Li Wuji hesitated.

Logically speaking, it was Chen Sheng’s insistence, and he had no reason to interfere with him.

But he had seen some gifted martial artists with the same idea as Chen Sheng, which eventually led to their bodies collapsing and turning into a pile of rotten flesh.

In both emotion and reason,

Li Wuji didn’t want to see Chen Sheng end up like that.

At this moment,

Chen Sheng, who had been waiting for their replies, thought the two were hesitant, and spoke again.

“You don’t have to answer me now.”

“I still need some preparation to cultivate secret skills.”

“You can go and deal with the matters of the Martial Arts Association first.”

“I will stay in the Yihe Gate for a few days.”

The reason Chen Sheng gave them time to think was not because he was not in a hurry.

On the contrary, he was more eager than anyone else to become stronger quickly.

But now,

Even if Sun Yihe handed over the Seven Demon Mental Method, Chen Sheng wouldn’t be able to cultivate it.

Nowadays, he has lost most of his senses.

Even if he used his spiritual power to enter the inner view, all he could see was darkness.

Fortunately, after earlier attempts, Chen Sheng found that he could construct the human body’s inner scenery through touch.

By driving the illusion with spiritual power, he could also achieve the purpose of practicing secret skills.

But the body he has constructed now is still incomplete.

He needs time to fully adapt to his current state and to continuously refine his senses.

Until he can construct a complete body in his mind and solidify it.

By then,

Chen Sheng can start cultivating secret skills again.

For ordinary people, this might take a lot of time.

But Chen Sheng’s divine state has an agility attribute of hundreds of thousands, which is not for show.

He hasn’t completed it now, mostly because it was his first time performing such an operation and he was a bit unfamiliar with it.

“Let it be.”

Sun Yihe nodded and turned to look at Li Wuji.

“Let’s go and deal with Kyoto’s affairs first, and after things are sorted out there, we can have a thorough discussion with Chen Sheng.”

“Alright.”

Li Wuji agreed.

First, they would deal with the pressing matters, then if Chen Sheng insists on cultivating more secret skills, he could support him by his side.

Although Li Wuji’s physical body had already been destroyed by the respected elder, and the body cultivated from cells was also on the verge of collapse,

Over the years, he has created and re-cultivated secret skills, retracing the paths he had taken before.

In terms of strength, he remained one of the best in the Martial Arts Association.

In terms of understanding secret skills and spiritual power, no one could compare to him.

At this point,

Li Wuji didn’t hesitate any longer.

He looked up at Chen Sheng.

“After we’ve dealt with the affairs in Kyoto, if you persist in cultivating secret skills, I will do my best to support you.”

“Before that, if you have any needs or matters, you can contact me through the Yihe Gate disciples.”

After giving his instructions,

The two left together.

After they were gone, Chen Sheng didn’t bother moving.

He just sat down cross-legged on the spot.

“Inhale—”

“Exhale—”

The muscles of the body gradually relaxed.

The fierce wind swept up the weeds and gravel on the ground, raging around him.

Sunlight sprinkled on his body.

Gravel hit his skin.

The fierce wind blew his hair.

With the support of hundreds of thousands of Agility Attribute points, every feeling was extraordinarily clear.

Chen Sheng tried to concentrate, blocking out these distracting sensations.

In one deep breath after another.

In the boundless darkness.

Chen Sheng’s mind gradually settled.

It wasn’t long before.

He began to stimulate the Thunder Sea in his body.

In an instant.

Thunder roared.

Purple light shone.

The speed of the thunder washing through his body increased instantly.

A strong tingling sensation swept through Chen Sheng’s mind in an instant.

Chen Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly.

But that was all.

He had long grown used to this level of pain.

Compared to the pain of practicing while in the Withered State, it was just a splash of water.

It’s like this now.

It is the perfect time for him to build an image of his body’s interior based on feedback from his senses.

Soon,

Chen Sheng’s mind became focused again.

In his imagination, he was like a god.

With a single thought, bones formed and connected in the darkness.

Eventually, they combined into a complete human skeleton.

Next.

It was time for muscles, organs, blood vessels, and nerve tissues.

Chen Sheng’s construction speed was not fast.

To practice secret skills through an imagined bodily structure, the imagination must be realistic enough.

Otherwise, even the slightest difference could lead to an irreparable outcome.

Just like this.

As time passed bit by bit.

The red mist gradually dyed the skyline and slowly faded away.

Finally,

Night quietly descended.

Instead of being silent, the night was filled with constant roaring.

The purple thunder light was reflected in the sky above the Yihe Gate.

If someone were to look from afar, they might think that someone was going through a tribulation here.

But at this moment.

Whoosh!

The gravel fell like raindrops.

Withered leaves fluttered in the air.

All the commotion vanished in an instant.

Chen Sheng let out a long sigh, a look of joy flashed across his face.

In his mind.

A life-like human body occupied his entire field of view.

According to the feedback from the thunder washing through his body, Chen Sheng was also adjusting the operation of this imagined body in real-time, so that it remained synchronized with his actual body.

Chen Sheng could freely rotate the view, zoom in or out.

Compared to his previous Inner View state, it was even clearer and more controllable.

Now, Chen Sheng.

Had successfully built a one-to-one replica of his body in his mind.

With the help of this body.

He could finally begin to practice secret skills.

Thinking of this,

Chen Sheng was somewhat impatient.

“Xiao Hei.”

“Help me guard.”

He spoke softly.

Xiao Hei at his knuckles instantly turned into a water droplet and fell to the ground.

The water droplet wriggled and multiplied continuously.

Quickly,

A ring with a diameter of about three meters was formed not far from Chen Sheng.

At the same time.

The originally god-like colossal body shrank visibly at a speed perceivable to the naked eye.

It continued to shrink until it reached a normal state, but it didn’t stop there.

The skin quickly lost its luster.

The muscles rapidly shrank as well.

In the blink of an eye.

Chen Sheng had already completed the transition from the Divine form to the Withered State.

Now, he looked like an old man with a flickering life force in the wind, contrasting sharply with his previous invincible appearance.

The only thing that remained unchanged.

Were the faint sounds of thunder from within his body, showing no signs of weakening.

Li Wuji has not returned for now,

And Chen Sheng does not intend to sit idly.

He plans to enter the Withered State to practice daily.

Even if someone approaches, Chen Sheng can know it at the first moment and quickly shift from Withered State to the Glory State.

With Chen Sheng’s current proficiency in the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing.

This is just a matter of a split second.
