The simplified attribute panel, appearing again after many years.

Even someone like Luo Chen, who had maintained an unwavering state of mind for years, couldn’t help but feel ripples of emotion at this moment.

After settling in Penghu, it took him merely two years under peak conditions to leap from a halfway progress of the Golden Core Stage Fourth Level to the Fifth Level. Furthermore, his cultivation speed did not slow down in the following three years, advancing rapidly at a pace of ten progress points per year to reach 30% completion.

The gap to the Golden Core Stage Sixth Level was now merely six or seven years.

Such unprecedented speed could be considered shocking even across the entire Mountain Sea Realm.

But Luo Chen understood—this pace finally aligned with his natural cultivation speed!

The claim of being comparable to a Heavenly Spirit Root was no idle boast.

Legend had it that Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators achieved Foundation Establishment in ten years, Core Formation in one hundred years, and Nascent Soul Formation in two hundred years, with cultivation accelerating even further as they progressed and virtually no bottlenecks to speak of.

Under such exaggerated claims lay an array of hidden prerequisites.

Cultivation techniques, spirit lands, mentorship, corresponding auxiliary resources—these were all indispensable.

Luo Chen previously had the reputation of a cultivation speed rivaling that of Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators, but his progress matched that of ordinary Dual Spirit Root cultivators.

The most limiting factor was the absence of a suitable spirit land.

The eight hundred li Penghu, with its Vein Gathering Quality Improvement, resolved this restriction.

Thus, his Dao cultivation surged forward!

Of course, in this process, a substantial amount of elixir aid and the enhancement of his Natal Qi Technique proficiency also played crucial roles.

Especially the latter!

”The ’Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra’ is truly unfathomable. Not only has it improved my spirit root talent, but the Qi Power cultivated through it is so pure, almost entirely free of impurities, sparing me the wasteful process of refining and purifying it.”

In his musings, Luo Chen couldn’t help but wonder about the origins of this cultivation technique.

Could it indeed be the cultivation method practiced by members of the Phoenix Clan after assuming human form?

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain such remarkable effects.

And this was merely the Golden Core Chapter. What kind of divine skills and Dao principles that defy the laws of nature might the Nascent Soul Chapter, Divine Transformation Chapter, or the complete text record?

Shaking his head, Luo Chen stopped pondering further.

His focus shifted to the progress of his physique cultivation.

[Primordial Third Order 75/100]

With his self-created ”The Flow of All Things” achieving Finalization, his efficiency in body refinement had reached its peak, especially with the assistance of Black Emperor Ointment—an elixir for puppet body refinement.

Though his immortal path cultivation speed had somewhat lagged due to years of wandering, his body refinement progress had hardly stalled.

With a single push forward, he had reached 75% on the progress bar, very close to the Fourth Order.

However, this seemingly short distance was evidently not so easy to cross.

Luo Chen had already faintly realized that ordinary Third-Order Black Emperor Ointment no longer had any effect on him.

Even consuming large amounts only added progress at a snail’s pace.

Still, this was not a significant problem.

Luo Chen’s storage ring contained a large quantity of Fourth-Order Black Emperor Ointment!

These were crafted by refining the carapaces of over a dozen Third-Order Demon Crab Kings he had killed over time.

With the aid of this batch of elixirs, as long as he persisted in cultivation, achieving the Fourth Order of the Ancient Desolation Body Physique seemed only a matter of time!

Sliding his gaze, Luo Chen examined the ”few and far between” techniques section, sinking into thought.

”Finalization of Slaying Dragon Technique...”

Muttering to himself, he raised his hand, fingers as a sword ready to strike down.

But ultimately, he restrained his impulse.

Certain techniques, after reaching Finalization, would manifest additional special effects.

Either achieved through exploring the limits of human capability or arising from residual potential pointing to higher-tier alternatives.

Like his earliest technique, Fireball Technique, which naturally acquired a ”fusion” effect upon reaching its limit, transforming into the so-called ”Fierce Sun Technique.”

Throughout these years, Luo Chen had practiced countless techniques of varying grades.

Yet, those capable of generating special effects remained exceedingly rare.

The most recent was the Illusion Technique ”Mirror Flower, Water Moon.”

Who would have thought that the ”Slaying Dragon Technique,” sought specifically for Chu Kui to eliminate contaminating foreign Qi Power, would unexpectedly yield a surprise upon achieving Finalization?

Meticulous examination revealed that the Finalization of the Slaying Dragon Technique dated back to the time he traveled aboard the Langya to Giant Whale Port.

The catalyst for its perfection had been the effort to purge the ominous aura from the Soul Nourishing Wood for Han Zhan.

That ominous aura was no ordinary remnant power.

It was left by the pinnacle powers of this realm.

To eradicate such an anomaly, Luo Chen’s then Grandmaster-level Slaying Dragon Technique was akin to moving mountains—a grueling endeavor.

But after succeeding, two benefits secretly came to Luo Chen, unbeknownst to Han Zhan.

First, progress in the field of Illusion Techniques!

With a single thought, in Luo Chen’s deep-set eyes appeared a myriad of bizarre phantoms, finally forming a chilling spectacle of ghostly shadows and towering ominous structures.

He integrated the ominous aura into his Sea of Consciousness, blending it into ”Mirror Flower, Water Moon.”

This was the very move that allowed him to catch a renowned True Disciple of the Yuan Mo Sect’s Soul Refining Lineage off guard.

At the time, this technique’s optimization was still in its experimental phase.

After years of honing it in secret, the prowess of ”Mirror Flower, Water Moon” had now grown immeasurable.
