Chapter 660 - The Twelve Sky Art Paintings (2/2)

“With so many resources here, I can try to practice a real cultivation art.” Chen Fan thought.

Even though the cultivation arts in the Realm of Cultivation were divided into different levels, they were more or less the same. For example, the “Sword Art of Nine Abandonments” was a low-level art for Chen Fan but it wasn’t really quite different from the supreme arts of the large sects.

“The Divine Arts, the Sacred Arts and the Celestial Arts are truly on different levels! They are more advanced than normal cultivation arts and are the key elements for the large sects and races to stand tall in the universe.”

A glint of excitement flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.

Before he established his own sect in his last life, he cultivated the supreme art of the True Martial Celestial Sect:

The “Battling Celestial Art!”

This was the most powerful art that the True Martial Celestial Sect used to dominate the universe! It was said to have been created by the first-generation Ancestral Master of the sect and Chen Fan had never lost a battle thanks to it. The Battling Celestial Art was even in the top ten on the Cultivation Art Roll.

“The Battling Celestial Art requires the level of Soul Formation to start and I must first achieve the True Martial Sacred Body. I’m too far from that. Besides, I might not be able to complete other arts of the True Martial Celestial Sect as well since the requirements are too demanding, not to mention the cultivation arts they created themselves.”

Chen Fan frowned.

If he couldn’t practice Celestial Arts, then he could aim for Sacred Arts which were a level lower. However, Sacred Arts also had pretty demanding requirements and Chen Fan’s Spirit Stones might not be able to supply enough energy for him.

“So, should I practice a Divine Art? But my Azure Thearch Longevity Body has reached the top level and the power it has is similar to that of a normal Divine Art. There’s no point in doing this…”

Chen Fan shook his head and a memory about a weird art came to mind.

After achieving the Tribulation Level in his previous life, he had travelled across the universe and had seen twelve paintings on the walls of an ancient palace. The palace floated in the middle of nowhere near the border of the universe and had probably stood there for billions of years. Even Chen Fan was unable to destroy it. He had always thought that it might be the ruins left from the previous era.

“I sat in front of those twelve paintings for ten years and created a cultivation art called the ‘Twelve Sky Art Paintings!’ It should be comparable to the Battling Celestial Art and might even be more advanced than Sky Arts. Unfortunately, I was already at the Tribulation Level and couldn’t cultivate anymore. This may be a good time to do it,” Chen Fan pondered.

“It’s a cultivation art that anyone can practice, but it also requires tons of resources at the same time. To complete the first painting, I might need dozens of thousands of Spirit Stones, and maybe a thousand times more as I move on. When I reach the twelfth painting, even all the resources in the True Martial Celestial Sect might not be enough.

“But once I complete all of them, I’ll become powerful enough to exterminate thousands of races!”

After Chen Fan had been reborn, he was very confident that he could reach the top level and the amount of resources he had wouldn’t affect the result.

Besides, he could choose to cultivate something else in the middle of the process.

“Let’s practice the first painting! I hope these resources are enough.”

Chen Fan closed his eyes.

An old stone painting, which seemed to come from a long time ago—with a hint of ruggedness from the ancient times—appeared in his mind. There was a giant mouth on the painting as if it were swallowing the world.

“Twelve Sky Art Paintings: Sky-Swallowing Painting!”

Chen Fan cast the spell with his mouth slightly open.

“Crack, crack.”

The Spirit Stones cracked one after another and turned into dark green Spirit Qi. Chen Fan absorbed the Spirit Qi a hundred times faster than he did before.

As Chen Fan continued cultivating, he absorbed more Spirit Qi and dots of light started to appear in his body. Those light dots represented the energy hidden inside his body, which was mysterious like the universe. The energy was initiated due to his cultivation and Chen Fan began to see some magical changes.

His Longevity True Essence transformed slowly into a strange kind of True Essence. It felt as wide and deep as the ocean, a place that could not be filled, not even if it sucked the world in.

Beams of light s.h.i.+ned all over the room and a peerless Overlord was transforming.

In the meantime, the outside world was putting more pressure on the North Qiong Sect and they started to become overwhelmed. After all, they were facing the Blood Ancestor and the entire world!

June 7th, 2012.

The Blood Ancestor entered China and arrived at the Qin Chen Mountain together with the envoys of England, France, Russia and the United States. They went to the Sword Palace and requested to meet Chen Fan to negotiate about the problem the entire human race was encountering.

After hearing about it, countless Overlords started gathering around Qin Chen Mountain.

In a short while, Qin Chen Mountain became the focus of the whole world.
