Chapter 151 - Advancing, Xiantian Eighth Grade. (1/2)

'Forget it, forget it. I'll just have to advance to Xiantian eighth grade first.

'When the army comes, I'll block it. When the water comes, I'll cover it with the Earth.

'If it really comes down, there's nothing I can do about it.'

However, Ye Xiao was not completely without the slightest bit of vigilance.

He was worried that the lightning might come down when he was advancing, so he placed the long-handled saber on top of his head and used it as a lightning rod to prevent the lightning bolt from secretly attacking without any martial virtue.

After doing all that, Ye Xiao no longer suppressed the blood essence in his body and allowed it to erupt rapidly.

At the same time, the cultivation techniques in Ye Xiao's body were continuously circulating and spreading.

At that moment, Ye Xiao realized that his cultivation techniques had already begun to occupy a certain position in his body, forming one cyclone after another.

Each of these cyclones provided Ye Xiao with a state of cultivation. However, according to the different types of cultivation techniques, there would be different absorption rates of different sizes.

Ye Xiao felt that his spiritual energy was also continuously improving, entering a more complicated and exquisite level.

His spiritual energy and martial strength were expanding immensely.

All the cultivation techniques were trying their best to attack.

The Violet Sea of Stars cultivation technique was the fastest to circulate spiritual energy.

Next were the Overpowering Saber, the Heaven-cleaving Sword, and the Tathagata Divine Palm, those three battle-type cultivation techniques.

Following that, was the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, the Mending the Heavens technique, the Morning Star Method, the Ultimate Healing Technique, and the Divine Intent technique, those four auxiliary cultivation techniques.

Finally, there were the Godly Craftmanship, the Ten Thousand to One, those two alchemy and artifact-refinement cultivation techniques, as well as the Earth-shattering Celestial Dipper Array and the Heavenly Creation Array, those two imperial arrays.

The Big Dipper's Grand Mystery operated very quickly as well, but it was a spiritual cultivation technique, so Ye Xiao had no way of making a comparison. Naturally, it was also hard to determine whether its operating speed was fast or slow.

From the looks of it, as one's cultivation increased, the cultivation speed of various cultivation techniques would gradually show differences, and it was not small either.

Take the main mental cultivation technique and the battle-type cultivation technique, for example, their improvement speed was the fastest.

As for the auxiliary ones, they were slightly inferior. There was no need to say anything about pill-refining, armament-refining, and array formations. Compared to the previous ones, it was practically useless. The speed was so slow that it could be ignored.

Ye Xiao finally understood why people mainly focused on martial artists and not artifact-refiners, alchemists, array formation masters, and so on.

The amount of effort put into those things was not less than a battle-type cultivation technique. It could even be said that some auxiliary cultivation techniques were harder to cultivate than battle-type cultivation techniques and wasted more time.

However, the benefits they brought were far inferior to battle-type cultivation techniques and mental cultivation techniques.

It was true that an array formation master of the same level could set up an array that could kill many battle-type martial artists that were far more powerful than him.

However, the progress of his cultivation in the later stages was very slow. Very soon, he would be surpassed by battle-type martial artists. At that time, when both parties were facing each other again, unless he brought the other party into the array, he would definitely die without a burial ground.

Those who were able to cultivate array formations and refine pills and artifacts were either good cultivation techniques that had been passed down in their families, were extremely talented, or were trash in their cultivation.

As for 99 percent of the alchemists, array formation masters, and artifact-refiners, including beastmasters, puppet masters, poison masters, mechanics, and other more obscure martial artists, that was needless to say.

As long as one had some talent, no one would choose to do those obscure occupations.

Ye Xiao also understood one thing.

That was, the three divisions of the divine grandmaster rank.

In fact, from Xiantian sixth grade to Xiantian seventh grade, the spiritual energy storage in one's body was already very huge, far surpassing the increase in the previous few grades.

From seventh grade to eighth grade, it was the same. The amount of spiritual energy required was extremely large.

That matter was not difficult to explain. Great grandmasters mainly focused on training one's temperament.

It was like building a house. Only by laying a good foundation would it be easier to build later.

Only by training one's temperament would one be able to control the huge amount of spiritual energy that was raised in every layer behind the divine sect.

Previously, when he had just advanced to Xiantian seventh grade, it was because it was difficult for him to control his own strength that he had crashed into America's new experimental machine.

After thinking through all that, the cultivation in Ye Xiao's body had finally broken through that final shackle.

Boom!

That time, it was finally not that kind of 'pop' sound that was like farting.

Instead, a huge explosion sounded from within his body, as if a huge bomb had been detonated.

In an instant, two bright rays of light burst forth from Ye Xiao's eyes like lightning.

A world-shaking power expanded crazily within his body.

A violent wind spread in all directions, forming an intense whirlpool of cultivation techniques around his body. It appeared to be 360 degrees, firmly enveloping him within it.

The lightning bolt crashed down, but when it came into contact with the extremely dense spiritual energy, it was bounced away alive, unable to touch Ye Xiao's body at all.

'Is this the power of a Xiantian eighth grade?'

Ye Xiao clenched his fists. He felt as if he and the surrounding heaven and earth were about to merge into one.

He did not need to look to be able to clearly sense everything around him.

He was not using spiritual energy. It was a kind of perception that was derived from his overly powerful cultivation.

It was a special method that had already begun to appear after his cultivation reached Xiantian eighth grade.
