Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

```

Nowadays, of the many martial arts on Gu Chen's panel, except for the Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Strength which he had exchanged from the Jing Tian Department after spending nearly two hundred merit points, all the other skills were derived from the panel.

Panel derivation had always been oriented towards martial arts, and Gu Chen had not attempted to derive internal strength techniques before. Therefore, he was somewhat unsure whether the panel had this feature.

The main reason was that in order to derive a technique, one must learn it first. Mere memorization was not enough to enable derivation.

However, internal strength techniques were usually very exclusive, unlike martial arts. It was very difficult for a martial artist's body to accommodate two types of Gangqi.

If such a scenario occurred, at best one would suffer from qi deviation. At worst, their body would explode and they would die.

Furthermore. Divine Illumination Skill and Great Sun True Skill were both ancient Superior Martial Skills. In the past, whenever Gu Chen switched internal strength techniques, he would replace a lower grade technique with a higher grade one.

But now, the two techniques were of equal grade. If two types of Gangqi appeared in his body at the same time, the outcome was unpredictable.

"However, I have cultivated the Vajra indestructible body, I should be able to try." Gu Chen pondered.

With his current physique, even if the two types of Gangqi clashed in his body, he wouldn't suffer from qi deviation or severe injuries like other martial artists.

Thus, Gu Chen proceeded to act upon his thoughts. After familiarizing himself several times with the practice methods of the Divine Illumination Skill in his mind, the Gangqi in his body began to circulate along the path of the Divine Illumination Skill.

Soon, after several circulations, a tiny bit of Gangqi belonging to the Divine Illumination Skill came into being inside Gu Chen's meridians, but it was extremely weak.

At this moment, Gu Chen glanced at his panel and saw that the words "able to derive" did not appear, which made him frown.

"Is it really not possible, or is the Gangqi of Divine Illumination Skill in my body too weak?" Gu Chen frowned and pondered.

Now in Gu Chen's body, a stream of Gangqi from the Divine Illumination Skill lay dormant in his meridians, while the majority of his body was still enveloped in the fiery and intense Gangqi of the Great Sun True Skill.

"Do I need to convert half of the Gangqi in my body into that of the Divine Illumination Skill?" An idea flashed through Gu Chen's mind.

However, there was a risk to this approach. If the two types of Gangqi in the body were clearly distinguished and a conflict arose, even with his indestructible Vajra body, he might not be able to withstand it and would certainly get seriously injured.

After all, the cultivation in his body was as much as 620 years.

But eventually, after a long consideration, Gu Chen still decided to try.

Although the risk was high, if successful, the gains would be immense.

The Great Sun True Skill and Divine Illumination Skill were both ancient Superior Martial Skills with immense power. If they could be fused, the resulting martial technique could possibly reach the Earth Grade!

Earth Grade techniques or martial arts were something only grandmasters could come into contact with. Not to mention Gu Chen, who was at the Gang Qi Stage in cultivation, even a martial arts grandmaster would only have a few Earth Grade techniques or martial arts.

Moreover, even if they did not reach the Earth Grade, given the formidable nature of Great Sun True Skill and Divine Illumination Skill, the martial technique that would emerge from the derivation and fusion of these two skills, once possessing the characteristics of both, would also be extremely powerful.

Since the benefits outweighed the risks, there was nothing for Gu Chen to hesitate about. So, as he continued to run the Divine Illumination Skill, after a whole day and night, Gu Chen finally converted half of the Gangqi of the Great Sun True Skill in his body into the Gangqi of the Divine Illumination Skill.

At this moment, there was a slight movement in Gu Chen's eyes as he brought up the panel again.

Name: Gu Chen

Martial Arts: Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill (Great Achievement), Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Strength (Minor Achievement), True Yang Sword Finger (Beginner), Controlling Wind Step Shadows (Beginner), Star Tapping Sword Jue (Beginner), Pure Yang True Body

Internal Strength: Great Sun True Skill (derivable), Divine Illumination Skill (derivable)

Cultivation: 620 years (convertible)

Stage: Gang Qi Stage Full Circle

Merit Point Value: 0

"It really can be done!"

Seeing the words "derivable" appear, Gu Chen immediately became excited. His excitement nearly caused the two powerful and occupying halves of different Gangqi to collide within him.

Therefore, Gu Chen quickly reined in his emotions and mustered all his strength to separate the two entirely different Gangqi.

"Panel, derive!"

As Gu Chen's thoughts triggered the process, it was just like when he derived martial arts; experiences belonging to Great Sun True Skill and Divine Illumination Skill appeared in his mind. The two merged with each other, eliminating the unnecessary parts and extending based on the essence.

For a moment, Gu Chen felt like he had an epiphany, as countless martial arts insights flashed through his mind.

His understanding of the martial path had subtly climbed to a new level.

It could be said that deriving martial arts through the panel also helped increase Gu Chen's martial arts heritage. Now, if he were to teach disciples, he would do a great job. He would be able to spot a martial artist's weaknesses at first sight and provide correction.

Meanwhile, inside Gu Chen, the two different types of Gangqi also began to circulate along the same path at the same time. After countless circulations, they gradually began to merge.

Crackle and pop!

As the two types of Gangqi inside him merged, countless sparks of electricity suddenly appeared inside Gu Chen's body, crackling and looking extremely mystical.

The Gangqi of the Great Sun True Skill was fiery and searing hot, capable of incinerating anything when fully cultivated, while the Gangqi of the Divine Illumination Skill radiated dazzling light, capable of purifying all things when fully cultivated.

Now, as the two types of Gangqi slowly merged, a new form of pale golden Gangqi, like flames, also gradually emerged within Gu Chen's meridians.

As time continued to slip away, the fusion of the two cultivation techniques inside Gu Chen's mind was nearing completion, and Gu Chen emerged from that state of inspiration, where his mind was bursting with insights.

The deduction of the cultivation technique was complete, but due to Gu Chen's exceptionally profound strength, it still took some time for the conversion of Gangqi in his body.

After the fusion of the Great Sun True Skill and the Divine Illumination Skill, the new internal cultivation method that emerged was named—the Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic!

The wonder and complexity of this cultivation technique far surpassed the original Great Sun True Skill and Divine Illumination Skill by who knows how many times, and it inherited all the advantages of both techniques.

"Earth Grade internal skill!"

Feeling the wonder of the Gangqi within his body and the profundity of the technique in his mind, and by comparing it to the Great Sun True Skill and Divine Illumination Skill, Gu Chen came to this conclusion.

Sure enough, just as he had initially speculated, the fusion of two Superior Martial Skills from ancient times had, unsurprisingly, given birth to an Earth Grade technique!

The Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic possesses the supreme power to burn all things and purify the world. Not only that, but because it inherited the advantages of the Divine Illumination Skill, once mastered, it greatly enhanced Gu Chen's recovery abilities, be it the recovery speed of Gangqi or that of wounds.

Gu Chen closed his eyes and felt the wonder of the faint golden strands of Gangqi within his body, each strand purer and beyond compare to the Gangqi he had possessed before.

This was by no means ordinary Gangqi, Gu Chen knew he had cultivated a unique form of Gangqi!

Be it the Great Sun Gangqi accompanied by the Great Sun True Skill or the Divine Illumination Gangqi of the Divine Illumination Skill, neither could match the power or purity of the faint golden Gangqi that had emerged within his body.

"Since it was derived from a fusion of the Great Sun True Skill and the Divine Illumination Skill, it shall be called—Great Sun Divine Gang!"

Gu Chen silently felt the increasing strands of Great Sun Divine Gang within him as the cultivation method operated, and though his cultivation level hadn't increased, his combat power had at least doubled since the creation of the Great Sun Divine Gang.

Now, if Gu Chen were to face Zhuo Siyuan and the other four joining hands, he had the confidence to overcome them!

If it were one-on-one, Gu Chen could even slay them instantly.

This was the power of the unique Gangqi he had cultivated—the Great Sun Divine Gang!

Moreover, as an Earth Grade technique, the Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic still had many wonders for Gu Chen to discover.

With his current level of cultivation, he was considered profound at the Gang Qi Stage, but still not capable of fully unleashing the power of the Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic.

After all, this was an Earth Grade inner cultivation technique, and even a master of martial arts would be unable to push it to the extreme, let alone Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was eager to test the power of the Great Sun Divine Gang within him, so he generated a filament and attached it to his finger. At once, an astonishing heat emitted, and the temperature in the chamber skyrocketed, even causing the air itself to warp, with moisture rapidly evaporating.

Seeing this, Gu Chen was shocked, for even his indestructible Vajra body felt a wave of intense heat, which showed just how high the temperature had risen in the chamber.

Hiss!

Gu Chen touched the Blood Shadow Sword with his finger, and immediately, a hissing sound ensued, followed by plumes of white smoke as the body of the Blood Shadow Sword quivered and a red glow emerged to envelop it.

Hum!

Subsequently, the Blood Shadow Sword hummed and took off, vibrating in midair, expressing its dissatisfaction towards Gu Chen.

Your journey continues at empire

"Such power is truly terrifying," Gu Chen sighed. Even a low-grade divine weapon could barely withstand it, not to mention the flesh and blood bodies of martial artists.

It should be known that divine weapons are made of special and extremely hard materials, which nothing in the world, other than other divine weapons, could intimidate.

The last time the Blood Shadow Sword reacted this way was during the trial at the Pure Yang Martial Sect, when it was suppressed by the Tower of Supremacy.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This alone was evidence of how extraordinary the power of the Great Sun Divine Gang was.

Soon, a day and night passed, and the 620 years of profound cultivation within Gu Chen's body had all been transformed into Great Sun Divine Gang.

"An Earth Grade skill is already so wondrous, how powerful must Heavenly Grade techniques, let alone legendary skills, be?"

At this thought, Gu Chen couldn't help but daydream. He thought of the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill of the Qintian Monitor's Tower Supervisor, the only legendary technique he knew of to date.

Legendary techniques, also known as unparalleled skills, are so rare that there are only so many in the entire world.

Of course, Gu Chen was not worried about this, as with the panel, as long as he had a continuous flow of cultivation points, he would be able to deduce them eventually.

This was an advantage incomparable to others, and all Gu Chen lacked were cultivation points.

This time, Gu Chen could be said to have turned misfortune into a blessing. Although he didn't obtain the Sun Flame Stone, he had cultivated the immensely powerful Great Sun Divine Gang.

"Now that I have cultivated unique Gangqi, it's time to break through to the Returning to True Stage!"

Gu Chen looked at the panel, and with a thought, he lightly tapped on the word "convertible" behind the cultivation section.

Whoosh—

Immediately, the Great Sun Divine Gang within his body began to operate automatically, increasing in speed with each cycle, and becoming purer with each cycle.

Refining Gangqi into reality!

Once he achieved the Returning to True Stage, the Great Sun Divine Gang inside Gu Chen would become even stronger, and he would be able to unleash even greater power from the Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic.

However, transforming Gangqi into reality was a slow process, and even with the help of the panel, Gu Chen wouldn't have to spend years like other martial artists, but it would still take several days to half a month.

For this, Gu Chen had been mentally prepared, after all, his breakthrough from the Vajra Stage to the Gang Qi Stage had taken a lot of time.

And as time went by, a grand-scale event that would shock the world occurred in Yan State.
