Volume 1 Chapter 7: Unprecedented!

Fang Zhaoge parted ways with Lu Shi midway. Lu Shi was undergoing gruelling training under Elder Huang.

He said that some time ago, Elder Huang suddenly increased the intensity of his training by 10 times.

Fang Zhaoge pretends nothing happened as Lu Shi complained endlessly. Actually, he was shocked when Lu Shi exploded with his cultivation.

He actually reached 8th Qi Refinement realm!

It has been at most 15 days, and the guy broke through six times. The training with Elder Huang seems to be very effective on this donkey.

Although Fang Zhaoge truly wanted to punch his face when he cried in grief. Even real donkeys never cry. This one, is indeed, unimaginably ugly…

Now, Fang Zhaoge already stepped into the azure formation, ready to go back. His heart is already steady.

12th Qi Refinement realm? 13th? 14th? 15th?

These realms are no longer illustrious for Fang Zhaoge. As long as he cultivates diligently, sooner or later, he will reach them.

Only he knows how utterly massive his meridians have become. Even if he broke through twice in the Qi Refinement realm, it would probably only be enough to fill a tenth of his current meridians.

Soon, his figure disappeared within the formation. Fang Zhaoge had no idea what kind of waves he made in the sect.

Even his master, Li Tianwen, almost stumbled in anger when he heard of this.

The arrogant first disciple, Qin Zhaoge, of the fabled Sword Peak Master, Li Tianwen ruthlessly suppressed Qi Refinement and even Foundation Establishment disciples with his aura alone as a Qi Refinement junior!

How massive of a news was that? Everyone was going crazy, especially the disciples of the Sword Peak!

Some fanatics of Li Tianwen thought that the news was exaggerated to bring up the name of Qin Zhaoge. It was especially the case for those core disciples.

They as sword cultivators are straightforward, and they are indeed straightforward in expressing their dissatisfaction.

They devote themselves to serving the Sword Peak, yet the one who became the personal disciple of their fabled Peak Master is some random arrogant kid?

Especially since Li Tianwen didn't utter a word to support Qin Zhaoge. They became more vigorous, thinking that they were supported by the Peak Master and thinking that this was actually a test to become his personal disciple!

If Li Tianwen heard it, his face would be distorted as he looked down on them,

"You wanted to be my disciple by bullying some Qi Refinement junior? Who the f*ck told you such a shameless method? In regard to your devotion towards the peak for decades, get lost! It's already good for me to not demote you to inner disciples!"

As for Fang Zhaoge, the one in the eye of the storm, he was currently marvelling at the exaggeratedly concentrated qi within the cultivation room.

Only now did he realize that his master did not exaggerate a little bit of what he said. He truly cultivates countless times faster than before!

Without a word, Fang Zhaoge sat on the futon and guided the qi into his meridians. Regarding cultivation technique, Fang Zhaoge felt like his current cultivation technique was not up to par.

Not to mention publicized Qi Drawing Technique, even the Sun Drawing Technique is no longer relevant. The amount of qi he required is just too huge, and a mere low level black cultivation technique is clearly not enough.

It could only draw about 50% of what his body is capable of to absorb qi.

"Disciple, meet me at my cottage. I have something to say. And also, the cultivation technique that you need is here."

Fang Zhaoge wasn't surprised by the voice in his head. He also wasn't surprised that his master knew that he lacked a cultivation technique. He simply stood up and disappeared.

A few minutes later, with a burst of speed, Fang Zhaoge appeared before a seemingly humble cottage in the middle of the peak. It was only the size of a normal one-story house. On the cottage's terrace, a handsome man is sitting on a rattan chair, leisurely drinking his tea.

Fang Zhaoge cupped his fists and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Master!"

Li Tianwen's mouth twitched. This disciple of his was like an emperor in the sect, suppressing even one realm above him with just his aura. Yet he bowed like a filial disciple in front of him.

Although he was inwardly satisfied, he couldn't help but suspect his disciple's strength. He wanted to see the true strength of this weird disciple of his.

'He was clearly obsessed with hiding his strength, so why did he purposely show his identity as my personal disciple and even go on his way to suppress hundreds of disciples?'

In the end, Li Tianwen could only say that Qin Zhaoge is truly wrong in the head. But the kid is so respectful of him, so he wouldn't bring it up.

"Here."

Li Tianwen threw a scripture at Fang Zhaoge. The scripture is somewhat different. It has an overbearing aura that not even an earth technique could compare.

"Hey kid, do you know the grade of this technique?"

As Fang Zhaoge caught the scripture, inwardly shocked by how heavy it was, Li Tianwen inquired him.

Fang Zhaoge coughed out as he shook his head, "I'm relatively new to cultivation, Master. I have no idea about the grades of technique."

Li Tianwen nodded in understanding, he then flicked his fingers, and the surroundings changed its terrain to an arena. Fang Zhaoge almost stumbled in shock.

"The grades are divided into three by those old fogies who have lived for too long. There are mortal, semi-immortal, and immortal. Mortal technique is what you usually encounter. Yellow, black, earth, heaven, pinnacle… these are mortal techniques."

"Semi-immortal is the limit of this world. It was also divided into 5 grades. And weirdly enough, it was far simpler than mortal technique. There are divine, saint, pseudo god, god, and peak god."

As Fang Zhaoge widened his eyes in awe, Li Tianwe took a sip of his tea and sighed relaxedly before he continued.

"As for immortal technique… those old fogies could only name the first grade, which was also in the possession of the overlord of this era, the Heavenly Emperor of the Heaven Turning Palace. It's a Pseudo Immortal technique!"

After he finished, Li Tianwen drank his tea. He smiled, satisfied.

When Li Tianwen explained the immortal technique, Fang Zhaoge was already numb. He now has a rough understanding of techniques.

"So the Seven Slashes Severing the Seven Seas…?"

"Yes. It's a god combat technique. I'll bestow it to you when you meet my requirements."

Fang Zhaoge almost fell in shock. His master could casually take out a god combat technique?

Li Tianwen merely smirked, "When you're powerful enough, you will naturally find out what sort of standing is your master."

However, a thought easily erases his arrogance. Li Tianwen murmured something before he stood up. He looked at Fang Zhaoge deeply.

Fang Zhaoge had no time to react before Li Tianwen appeared in front of him and delivered a seemingly weak, simple punch.

Fang Zhaoge instinctively blocked off the punch, and his face changed drastically when he felt the power behind such a simple punch. It's definitely above 1 billion kg!

His figure paused for a moment before he crashed against a rocky hill with a deafening boom at lightning speed. After the dust cleared up, a miserable Fang Zhaoge who's stuck to the rock like a painting was revealed.

Li Tianwen nodded in satisfaction. In his eyes, the painting-like Fang Zhaoge is quite good looking, "Enough to contend with 8th Foundation Establishment expert who is proficient in a high level black combat technique. In all these years, you're the most impressive Qi Refinement junior there is!"

Fang Zhaoge twitched. Yes I'm impressive, yes I'm good, but can't you bring me out first?

Li Tianwen simply smiled. He lifted his hand and moved his index finger. With his overwhelming qi, Fang Zhaoge was easily lifted from the rock.

He then threw him into a lake.

'F*ck!'

Fang Zhaoge's miserable figure crashed against the water, and the water splashed. Li Tianwen leisurely brings out an umbrella as he shouted out,

"This is a qi lake, where the qi is so concentrated you could even drink it! Make use of it along with the cultivation technique I gave you."

Fang Zhaoge's condition naturally could not be missed by Li Tianwen. Inwardly, he was shocked to death. What the f*ck this kid has as his meridians? Are they stretchable rubber that could be enlarged with enough pressure?

It was literally 500x larger than meridians of a normal 10th Qi Refinement practitioner, and it would only increase if he made a breakthrough.

He even suspected that this kid could reach the never seen before 15th Qi Refinement realm! Thinking of this, for the first time in a very long time, Li Tianwen felt giddy.

The fabled Head of Sword Peak, the one that cut through and even subdued the sky itself and dared to go against a Colossus in the fabled immortal world, felt giddy!

His starry eyes brightened as he looked down on the figure of Fang Zhaoge. This kid is truly not bad at all!

As for Fang Zhaoge, as soon as he was submerged in the lake, he realized that there's a dry spot at the bottom of the lake. It was just perfect for him to cultivate.

Quickly, he entered the spot and drew a mouthful of fresh breath. Magically, every breath actually brought in an extremely pure gush of qi!

"The cultivation room was already so good, yet this kind of thing actually exists?"

Fang Zhaoge felt like he just entered a pool of gold. No, it was even better than gold. Gold cannot make him invincible!

Without a word, Fang Zhaoge swiftly brings out the cultivation technique his master gave him. He naturally followed his master's instruction even when he was beaten to death by his master…

"Qi Devouring Heaven Technique. It's actually a high level pinnacle cultivation technique!"

Damn it! His master was too good for him. Fang Zhaoge could feel the sincerity as he excitedly comprehended the cultivation technique. No way he would disappoint such a godly master.

And to his shock, just an hour is actually enough for him to reach Entry!

Fang Zhaoge was so excited he slapped his thigh. His eyes naturally locked on a stat.

[Talent: 3000 (60x50 Amplification)]

"Hahahah! I'm taking off! I am directly taking off right now!"

After a momentary period of excitement, Fang Zhaoge drew in a deep breath and calmed down. His eyes turned sharp as he guided waves of qi into his meridians and entered a meditative state.

Qi Devouring Heaven Technique is an overbearing cultivation technique that specializes in devouring qi in huge, humongous amounts. As long as there is qi, even if there's a world worth of qi, it will devour it as long as the user can contain it!

It was simply perfect for his bottomless meridians!

Li Tianwen silently brought the rattan chair with his qi and sat before the lake. He calmly observed as the qi within the lake was vigorously getting absorbed by the figure at the bottom.

And with a flash, a slender, beautiful figure silently appeared beside him. She brought a teapot and poured the tea into his cup.

Li Tianwen slightly smiled as he took a sip, "Are you so leisurely now? Being able to spend your time on something like this?"

Li Mengzhi smiled sweetly as she poured tea into her own cup, "My daddy is so busy. But now that you planned on laying low to nurture a disciple, isn't this my chance to spend time with my Dad?"

The starry-eyed man smirked. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything as he looked at her. After a moment, he sighed in amazement.

"You're only 16 yet you have already reached the Divine Soul realm, and with seven elements soul at that. You could easily enter the Void Refinement realm now."

Li Tianwen and his wife were prodigies amongst monsters when they were young. They were simply monsters that no one could contend with, not even the Holy Son of the Heaven Turning Palace at that time.

Once, the Heavenly Emperor offered them to be his disciples, but they rejected it. It was a good thing that the Heavenly Emperor was like a protector who overlooked the world rather than a senseless Overlord. So he easily accepted their rejection.

Naturally, their child would inherit their unimaginable, godly traits.

"I thought a baby that stayed in her mother's womb for 500 years would be a disfigured, terrifying demon. Turns out, it was just you, a sweet little girl who's too intelligent for her own good."

Li Tianwen joked as he laughed softly, and his daughter just pouted, clearly aggrieved. After a while, she looked at the figure at the bottom of the lake curiously.

"Dad, can Qin Zhaoge reach the legendary 5 stages above peak Qi Refinement realm?"

The five stages were referring to the stages after the 10th Qi Refinement realm. Li Mengzhi herself achieved the 14th Qi Refinement realm when she was 9, while Li Tianwen managed to attain 12th Qi Refinement realm when he was young.

Don't underestimate the difference between the 2 stages. The difference is like heaven and earth. After all, when it comes to breaking the limits, even a single level is like a world difference.

Li Tianwen mysteriously closed his eyes and took a sip of his tea, "Perhaps. Only that kid knows whether he could do it or not…"

As the father and daughter pair conserved beside the lake, Fang Zhaoge was madly absorbing qi like an inexhaustible sponge. Now with his increased talent and constitution, the rate at which he absorbed qi is simply monstrous.

After a few hours, Fang Zhaoge calmly opened his eyes. He merely checked his meridians before continuing his meditation.

12th Qi Refinement realm!

There are no longer waves in Fang Zhaoge's heart. He just wanted to seek invincibility!

After a day of bitter cultivation, Fang Zhaoge once again checked his meridians. After finding that nothing was wrong, he continued.

13th Qi Refinement realm!

At the same time, the Qi Devouring Heaven Technique has reached Adept proficiency, and his absorption rate has become even faster!

With just a dozen hours, he breakthrough into the 14th Qi Refinement realm!

But he did not stop. Because his meridians were still like bottomless pits. They are insatiable like demons!

15th Qi Refinement realm!

16th Qi Refinement realm!

17th Qi Refinement realm!

18th Qi Refinement realm!

19th Qi Refinement realm!

20th Qi Refinement realm!!!!!

Only when the qi lake had lost half of its qi did Fang Zhaoge open his eyes and feel full. He clenched his fists, and even such a simple motion produced a heart-shaking wave!

The Qi Devouring Heaven Technique has also reached Pinnacle proficiency. Pinnacle proficiency is above Master.

His eyes now contained a wisp of divinity. Like an overwhelming young God who overlooked the world he was entrusted with!

Every bit of his movement is filled with grace, not a bit of imperfection. His previous handsome face was now like Li Tianwen's, mysterious and extremely handsome!

Fang Zhaoge took a deep breath and looked at his combat strength and his talent. And surprisingly, there's also an additional message he hasn't looked at for a very long time!

[Combat Strength: 11,264x10^15 tonnes (225,28x10^12 tonnes x50 Amplification)]

[Talent: 245.760.000 (4.915.200x50 Amplification)]

He is countless times stronger now and more than countless times more talented.

Because every limit break breakthrough increased his strength and talent by 10 and 2 times!

And after the 15th Qi Refinement realm, each breakthrough increased his strength and talent by 20 and 4 times!

And the final 20th Qi Refinement realm increased them by a mindblowing 100 and 20 times respectively!

Fang Zhaoge doesn't know how strong a Golden Core is, and what sort of means they have, but if he was careless with his strength, such a figure would probably explode…

However, what comes after is the most important!

[Detected that the host has enough energy to instigate 10 consecutive simulations. Do you wish to proceed?]

[Detected that the host has enough energy to instigate 20 consecutive simulations. Do you wish to proceed?]

[Noticement: When host breaks through to the limits of a realm, the host will receive double the energy!]

[Qualities: Additional descriptions that could improve your aspects. The colours available: White (12%), Green (2%), Blue (0.5%), Purple (0.1%). Additional colours will be added as you get stronger.]

[Consecutive simulations could grant more reward. 5x: Guaranteed a quality. 10x: Guaranteed a quality above purple. 20x: Guaranteed a quality above red. 40x: ???]

[Colors will be upgraded as a guarantee as you get stronger!]

"I literally ascended to the heavens with just a leap…"

Fang Zhaoge is too powerful now, and it was all because of his [Underdog Legend] and the luck of a lifetime to receive a master like Li Tianwen.

However, it might seem that his strength is very overwhelming. Not to mention Foundation Establishment experts, even Golden Core experts are pretty much no match for him.

Over 11 quadrillion tonnes of strength and 33 quadrillion tonnes of combat power… It's just too overwhelming.

But once cultivators enter the Nascent Soul realm, they could easily kill those below their realm through their souls. So Fang Zhaoge still has to be careful even with his invincible strength.

His soul is just too fragile! Unless he could ambush that Nascent Soul expert, he pretty much would be at their mercy. Of course, if their soul is mediocre, Fang Zhaoge could erase their existence with just a punch.

As for talent. There's no need to mention it. He could probably become an immortal easily…

"Not yet. I'm not invincible yet…"

Fang Zhaoge looked at the notification. He took a deep breath, trying to contain his excitement. It has to be known that with just a blue quality, he could become an unprecedented genius!

Ever since he heard from Li Tianwen about the grade of technique, he felt like this world was too big. Too humongous for him to carelessly claim himself as invincible.

"Let's begin it."

Fang Zhaoge shouted out, "Proceed!"

[16 years old. You broke through to the 20th Qi Refinement realm, setting an unprecedented record! Li Tianwen was shocked and looked at you as if you were an alien.]

[Li Tianwen decides to hide your attainment, fearing you might attract existences you weren't supposed to attract.]

[Li Tianwen's daughter, and the current Holy Maiden of the Scorching Sun Sect, Li Mengzhi met up with you secretly and curiously asked you about your cultivation. But you promised Li Tianwen to keep it a secret, and she left, feeling aggrieved.]

[17 years old. The competition between peaks was held. You did not participate because you were too strong. However, you heard that Lin Ming overpowered everyone at Qi Refinement realm and won unprecedentedly!]

[Li Tianwen, your master, suggested that you go out to gain experience. You thought for a while before you agreed with him.]

[On your way to the nearest city, Mengzhou City, an enemy of the Scorching Sun Sect, the Blue Moon Sect heard of your expedition and ambushed you in the middle of your journey.]

[You were invincible, killing everyone with a punch. Unfortunately, you were too inexperienced and were easily ambushed by a Nascent Soul expert. You died a dog death.]

[You died!]

[Simulation completed. Please select one of the rewards below:]

[1. Qualities (Unavailable)]

[2. Attribute Points]

[3. Life Memories]

"..."

Fang Zhaoge felt embarrassed. He was clearly invincible, yet he was easily ambushed by some random Nascent Soul experts. It's also a reminder for him to be always cautious and never get conceited with his strength!

After a quick thinking, he simply chooses the second choice.

[+10 Attribute Points]

[Abilities: Qi Drawing Technique (Level 1 Pinnacle) (Upgradeable), Mountain Breaking Fist (Level 1 Master) (Upgradeable), Sun Drawing Technique (Level 2 Master) (Upgradeable), Burning Body Battle Stance (Level 1 Adept) (Upgradeable), Seven Slashes Severing the Seven Seas (First Slash) (Level 9 Entry) (Upgradeable)]

There are a lot of abilities. Fang Zhaoge felt somewhat overwhelmed, but the brain of a cultivator has been enhanced countless times, so he has no issue scanning through it.

Thankfully, the system was considerate.

[Notice: Abilities will be grouped by their grade. Enjoy, host!]

"Nice."

Soon, the second simulation begins.

[16 years old. Li Tianwen was shocked by your attainment and decided to hide it. He feared some existences took notice of you.]

[Li Mengzhi secretly met up with you and asked you about your cultivation. You teased her, and she left aggrievedly.]

[17 years old. The competition between peaks was held. Lin Ming won overwhelmingly in the Qi Refinement division and the Master of Body Tempering Peak took him as a disciple.]

[Li Tianwen suggested you go out, but you refused. You stated that until you reached the Nascent Soul realm, no one could bring you out even if they beat you to death. Li Tianwen knew you had a problem in your head, so he leisurely agreed.]

[It only took you a few months of seclusion to reach Nascent Soul. During this period, Li Mengzhi kept visiting you and even gave you guidance in cultivating.]

[When you came out of seclusion, you realized that your master was nowhere to be seen. Only Elder Huang was there, saying that your master has gone out to handle some matters.]

[The Sect Master announced that the Blue Moon Sect has awakened their God, and the disciples have to partake in a war against them!]

[18 years old. You reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm and your soul is countless times stronger than a standard Soul Formation expert. With confidence, you stepped into the battlefield and slaughtered everything that came your way!]

[Li Tianwen bestowed you the second, third and fourth slash of the Seven Slashes Severing the Seven Seas in one of the cottage's rooms. You easily mastered them, reaching Pinnacle proficiency in each of them in just a week.]

[Soon, the Sect Master realized that there was something wrong with the war and told you to retreat. Turns out, the Blue Moon Hall had allied with the Demon Extermination Hall and the Poisonous Gu Sect!]

[Countless disciples are poisoned and have their corpses being devoured by the demons of the Demon Extermination Hall's disciples.]

[19 years old. You broke through and reached the Soul Formation realm, and your soul attained ten elements right off the bat. You are invincible as you once again step onto the battlefield. Poison held no threat for you and demons who depend on their physical strength were easily crushed by your godlike strength!]

[Li Mengzhi fought alongside you after she heard you stepped on the battlefield. She has reached the Void Refinement realm and was invincible on the battlefield!]

[Li Tianwen also appeared in the sky, fighting three gods of the Blue Moon Sect, Demon Extermination Hall and Poisonous Gu Sect respectively with an invincible demeanor!]

[20 years old. You have reached the peak of Soul Formation realm with your soul attaining twenty elements, once again shaking Li Tianwen's heart. Li Mengzhi was so curious about you that she barged into your room at night. With your divine strength, you easily solved the situation and threw her out, shocking and embarrassing Li Mengzhi.]

[Li Tianwen looked at you in satisfaction, and he bestowed you the rest of the Seven Slashed Severing the Seven Seas. You completely mastered the technique in a matter of months and your power surge!]

[22 years old. A divine being came to Sword Peak and fought with Li Tianwen fiercely. Li Tianwen refused to comply with its wish and performed a heaven-turning slash, killing the divine being whose realm was far above him with one slash. Only Li Mengzhi, the Sect Master, and you who knows what happened.]

[You broke through to the Divine Soul realm with divinity comparable to a God! Li Tianwen gave you a high-level peak god combat technique, the Demon Relentless Fists and entrusted you with things. Then, Li Tianwen and Li Mengzhi bid farewell to you.]

[Before they left, Li Mengzhi pecked on your lips and said that she'd be waiting for him up there. Li Tianwen stayed silent, staring at you sharply. You watched as they ascended to the fabled Immortal World, entrusting the Sword Peak and its legacy to you.]

[You solemnly nodded your head and the sight of Li Mengzhi looking back at you was deeply ingrained within your mind.]

[25 years old. You have comprehended the Demon Relentless Fists and reached Adept proficiency, and your combat power is unmatched!]

[You reached the peak of Divine Soul realm. You found out from the news that Lin Ming participated in the Eight Regions Competition and won the Soul Formation division! Your old acquaintances, Lu Shi and Liu Tianji won second and third place respectively. The Scorching Sun Sect has officially become the second most powerful sect, second only to the Heaven Turning Palace!]

[You comprehend the Seven Slashes Severing the Seven Seas to the limit and managed to create the eighth slash, which 10 times the seventh slash! It has became a high level peak god combat technique which was infinitely close to a Pseudo Immortal technique!]

[You changed the name to the Eight Slashes Severing a Thousand Seas!]

[27 years old. Elder Huang, Lin Ming, Lu Shi, and Liu Tianji met up with you at your peak with their strength, and they talked about all kinds of things. You smiled as you drank wine with them for three days and nights.]

[The Sect Master wished to meet you, and you complied. He told you that there's a world above them, and that world is where you belong. He wished you could abandon your position and ascend. You thought for a while before rejecting him, but you told him that you would abandon your position to focus on getting stronger.]

[He agreed, and Liu Tianji replaced you. You went into seclusion in your old cottage. Liu Tianji did not touch the cottages left behind by Li Tianwen and instead made a cottage of his own.]

[Your divinity has reached the limit this world could handle, and you couldn't break through anymore. Despite being a peak Divine Soul expert, your divinity is comparable to a King God, setting yet another unprecedented record!]

[30 years old. You have practiced the Demon Relentless Attack to the limit and even comprehend a new technique comparable to a Pseudo Immortal combat technique, the Fury of the Demon God!]

[Your strength is no longer that of a semi-immortal. It has officially broken through to the immortal realm!]

[Finally, you decide to ascend and bid farewell to everyone. However, Lu Shi, Lin Ming and Elder Huang mysteriously disappeared. You speculated that Lu Shi's origin is special, as there's no way a human could look so similar to a donkey. Lin Ming has his own fate. As for Elder Huang, you truly have no idea.]

[You ascended, creating an incredible phenomenon. However, as soon as you stepped into the Immortal World, a formation was set up. The Blue Moon Sect has sent your coordinate to their immortals!]

[You also heard the news that Li Mengzhi had been captured by the Ji Immortal Clan, while Li Tianwen was severely injured and was on the run! You went mad and pushed the Fury of the Demon God to the limit!]

[Before you were defeated, you broke through to the Void Refinement realm, and your divinity multiplied countless times!]

[You managed to defeat a peak Heaven Immortal expert, an expert six realms above you with a world-destroying eighth slash of the Eight Slashes Severing a Thousand Seas before you were exhausted to death. You died a heroic death! Your name shook the Immortal World and even the mysterious upper echelon shook their heads in pity at the death of such a monstrous genius!]

[You died!]

"...Wow."

Fang Zhaoge was in awe. To think it escalated to that point...
