Chapter 1692 - 0022: The Eight-Level Gale 3

As for the clerkʼs claim that the blade could withstand the full-force true energy infusion of a Transcendental-stage powerhouse, well, that was just something to listen to and nod along with.

The Transcendental stage had nine levels, each a world apart from the next. The gap between each minor level was greater than the entire span of the previous major level. The difference between level one and level nine of the Transcendental stage was astronomical.

The clerkʼs vague assertion implied that the tester was likely a cultivator at level one or two of the Transcendental stage. To say that the blade could withstand the true energy of all Transcendental powerhouses was clearly an exaggeration.

But Jinling was, after all, just a first-tier city. To have a blade that could handle the Transcendental stage was already quite impressive. One couldnʼt be too demanding.

”At a bargain price of five hundred million credit points, or you can exchange it for items of equivalent value,” the clerk said, his smile so wide it seemed to swallow his entire face.

He didnʼt actually think Wang Yue needed a blade of this caliber. After all, the three major families of Jinling didnʼt have that deep a foundation. Wang Yue was a genius, sure, but breaking through to the Return-to-Truth stage in this life would be quite an achievement.

But in business, you never turned away customers. If someone was willing to buy, you sold.

Wang Yue knew that Lingyun Pavilion always had clear pricing and didnʼt engage in any tricks. So, without haggling, he simply transferred five hundred million credit points.

The current situation in Jinling was that the high-end cultivator market was monopolized by Lingyun Pavilion, while the market for ordinary people was controlled by the three major families. And as the only male heir of the three families, Wang Yue had never been short of money.

Five hundred million wasnʼt a small sum, but it was manageable.

Afterward, Wang Yue inquired about other items, and as he had expected, apart from ”that martial technique,” Jinlingʼs Lingyun Pavilion didnʼt have any other martial arts or techniques for sale, not even a lowly Yellow-grade one.

He wasnʼt disappointed, though. He had anticipated this from the start. After all, ordinary cultivation methods and martial techniques werenʼt sold in unlimited quantities like ”that martial technique.” Lingyun Pavilion had some business ethics; each cultivation method or martial technique was only sold to one family.

So whenever new stock arrived, it was snapped up by the various family forces in Jinling in the blink of an eye.

After leaving the building where Lingyun Pavilion was located, Wang Yue didnʼt head back to the Wang family estate. Instead, he drove out of the city.

He wanted to test the martial technique he had just acquired. If it was as he suspected, using it with his Earth Abyss cultivation would definitely make a big splash.

If he accidentally alerted his grandmother and mother, they would surely notice the sudden surge in his cultivation, and that would be hard to explain.

Fortunately, there was a perfect place for testing his new skill. To the east of Jinling City, there was a stretch of barren mountains. With no valuable minerals and unsuitable for farming, the area was rarely visited by people, making it an ideal spot for him to try out his new move.

Passing through vast fields and a few villages outside the city, Wang Yue soon arrived at the barren mountains over a hundred kilometers away.

This trip also highlighted another advantage of the floater: with its anti-gravity system, it could go anywhere without needing specific roads, and there was no need to worry about damaging crops or plants.

After driving for dozens of miles deeper into the mountains and ensuring that there was no one within ten miles, Wang Yue finally stopped the car, picked up the Cold Moon blade, and prepared to test his new move.

The martial technique was incredibly simple, with the key being the flow of true energy and the way it was exerted. With Wang Yueʼs foundation, it took him only about half an hour of practice to fully master it, with no hesitation when using it.

He then stood in place, gripped the blade with both hands, raised it high, and chopped down forcefully.

Whoosh—

The blade sliced through the air, producing a sharp, cutting sound.

As he had expected, this move, when perfected and executed in the most basic way, could double the power of the true energy released. This was the peak of what a Yellow-grade martial technique could achieve.

(Martial Technique Amplification: Yellow-grade: one-tenth to one times; Earth-grade: one to three times; Heavenly-grade: three to ten times; Supreme-grade: more than ten times)

But the true power of this move didnʼt stop there. It required the true energy to rotate within the meridians during its flow.

So Wang Yue tried to let the true energy rotate inside the meridians while it flowed, and he chopped down again.

Whoosh—

The cutting sound was even sharper than before, and the power amplification reached two times, equivalent to a mid-level Earth-grade martial technique.

And this was just the result of the true energy rotating once within the meridians. It was probably the effect that cultivators who had practiced Supreme-grade cultivation methods could achieve when testing their moves.

But Wang Yue felt that he was far from reaching his limit.

So he tried another chop, this time making the true energy rotate twice within the meridians.

Whoosh—

The sound of the air being split turned into a genuine whoosh, and this time the power amplification reached four times.

Wang Yueʼs eyes lit up, and he immediately chopped down again.

Three rotations, eight times the power!

Now he finally understood why everyone said that the purer the true energy, the greater the power of this move.

The purer the true energy inside a cultivatorʼs body, the easier it was to control, allowing the true energy to complete more rotations within the meridians while flowing.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yue decided to test his limit.

He gripped the blade with both hands, raised it high, and true energy surged from his Dantian, flowing along the route of this move in an instant.

In that moment, the true energy completed four rotations, and when the long blade chopped down, the power amplification reached a whopping sixteen times!

This had already surpassed the lower limit of a Supreme-grade martial technique.

This move was indeed tailor-made for me!

Wang Yue was extremely excited and immediately raised the blade again.

He had only used a small amount of true energy for the test just now, but this time, he decided to go all out!
