Chapter 280 - Celestial Martial Art Technique (2/2)
Ye Chen kept channeling Celestial Chi since he had enough of Celestial Chi within the Flying Dagger. Under his constant nourishing, the Celestial Martial Chi in his right palm changed from its previous pale white, flimsy appearance to a deeper, hoary hue.
The turtle devoured Celestial Chi incessantly as if it would never be satisfied. As time went on, Ye Chen dared not continue directing Celestial Chi to the turtle. If the gigantic volume of Celestial Chi within his body erupted, the consequences would be unimaginable. Still, by the time Ye Chen stopped, the Celestial Martial Chi had already swallowed enough Celestial Chi that would rival a mid-Godly Venerable expert’s volume.
As he channeled more Celestial Chi, Ye Chen could increasingly sense the presence of the Celestial Martial Chi more clearly. He thrust out his right palm and pulsated his palm energy. Indeed, he could utilize a large amount of Celestial Martial Chi but its offensive abilities were not great. This Celestial Martial Chi had an air of solidity, tenacity, invincibility, yet its destructive power was lacking.
Ye Chen recalled Elder Tuntian’s words. The Celestial Martial Chi had stronger defensive capabilities and was best paired up with defensive martial art styles. However, first he had to learn some defensive martial art techniques!
Where should Ye Chen look for a defensive martial technique? Perhaps he should create one?
After thinking for a long time, Ye Chen dug out all the martial art technique books he had on him and carefully pored over them for an entire day. Even so, he ended up empty-handed.
All those defensive styles and parrying techniques could not unleash the Celestial Martial Chi’s superiority to its fullest!
Ye Chen’s brow was tightly knitted. A cultivation system was inextricable from its martial arts techniques. Ye Chen currently possessed a cultivation system as astonishing as the Nine Astra Skies. Any martial art technique or style should be relatively easy to master in his hands. Creating his Form of martial art techniques should not be too difficult an endeavor.
Ordinary martial arts styles were not much use against powerhouses. Ye Chen thought about Palm Shattering the Milky Way which Master Lion had taught him. That was true martial arts!
Compared to Palm Shattering the Milky Way, the other martial arts techniques which Ye Chen had practiced were all garbage!
Learned one technique, learned them all. Any attack whipped out by a combatant who had grasped the Absolute Martial Truth would be supreme and profound.
Ye Chen had to incorporate his Absolute Martial Truth as well as techniques like Palm Shattering the Milky Way. He sat by the sea, in deep and complex thought.
One day passed, then two, then three. The sun rose and set, day and night switched places.
Besides eating, Ye Chen had not taken a break. He was attentively observing the changes between heaven and earth while prodding the Celestial Martial Chi at the same time to familiarize himself with its every characteristic.
From a distance, one would see that Ye Chen, who was sitting by a seaside cliff, was shrouded in a halo that was shaped like an enormous turtle. This large turtle was facing the wind with an upraised head. It looked like it was swallowing and spitting out the sun and moon.
“Master, what’s going on with Big Brother Ye Chen?” Little Wingsy looked at the distant, high cliff and saw that Ye Chen was in a turtle-shaped halo. He blinked. “Big Brother Ye Chen won’t be eaten by that turtle, right?”
Elder Tuntian stared at Ye Chen thoughtfully. After a long pause, he said, “Ordinary people would need at least years or even decades to build a rapport with the Celestial Martial Chi and imperceptibly influence it. Your Big Brother Ye Chen has outstanding talent. In such a short time, he has forged a link between himself and the Celestial Martial Chi. He’s even learning how to use the Celestial Martial Chi.”
“Big Brother Ye Chen is so clever?” Little Wingsy’s eyes widened as he glanced at the distant Ye Chen. Inwardly he was exhorting himself to work even harder or he would always be holding back Big Brother Ye Chen.
Little Wingsy continued training. After so many days, and after experiencing a life-and-death fight, Little Wingsy gradually had gained some understanding of martial arts. He had practiced Sword Hill Inferno to a refined and sophisticated extent.
Elder Tuntian smiled as he stroked his beard. “Your progress is decent. Following this, I’ll teach you the second Form which is overpowering beyond comparison – Absolute Zero Freezing Hell!”
“Mmm. Thank you, Master!” Finally, he could learn the second Form. Little Wingsy was so excited that he jumped up and down.
Ye Chen was immersed in his thoughts. His gaze slowly fell upon the reef upon which he had once cultivated. The tsunami caused by Little Wingsy had submerged the reef countless times but the reef still stubbornly revealed itself.
Something suddenly flashed across his mind!
Defensive martial arts techniques?
Sturdy and stubborn, steady as a boulder!
At last, Ye Chen felt enlightened and his thoughts spilled forward.
Ye Chen suddenly stood up. The Celestial Chi of his entire body seemed to be boiling over in turbulent surges. He stimulated the Celestial Martial Chi in his right palm. There was a “humming” sound from the turtle which joined the resonance of Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi.
“Celestial Martial Chi, come forth!” Ye Chen yelled loudly and slammed his palm upon the ground. There was a sonorous “boom” as a burst of Celestial Chi energy spread out from the center of Ye Chen’s palm, forming into a halo shaped like a gigantic turtle. This turtle halo enveloped Ye Chen completely.
The turtle reared up to the sky in a majestic, awe-inspiring manner.
This turtle contained a portion of the Celestial Martial Chi’s energy. It was like a Chi Construct Barrier, solid and dense, completely protecting the area surrounding Ye Chen over a range of a few meters.
The Celestial Martial Chi’s defensive capability had been fully exhibited.
“This is the Form!” Ye Chen was incomparably jazzed up!
