Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

「Three months later.」

In a cave residence rich with Spiritual Qi on Celestial Thunder Dao Peak,

Gu Yun sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, circulating his Cultivation Technique. He focused his qi, sinking it into his Dantian. Aided by Healing Elixirs, three months had passed, and his injuries had finally healed completely.

Gu Yun slowly opened his eyes. Traces of Purple Lightning flickered within them, seeming to tear through the very heavens as they emanated a terrifying, majestic light.

He recalled the day he left the Profound Celestial Trial Tower. He was already heavily injured when he suffered an extremely powerful blow from Qin Xuan. Even though he had dodged it with lightning speed at the last moment,

he couldn’t avoid being struck by some of the residual force, which was saturated with a potent Sword Intent. It only added injury to his existing injuries.

If Senior Brother Chu Ran hadn’t intervened at the end, he would have likely suffered irreversible damage!

’As for whether the Sect would get involved...’

’When the Sect’s chosen contend with one another,’

’as long as no one is killed,’

’the Sect sees it as healthy competition and generally won’t interfere.’

Therefore,

although Qin Xuan had attacked, it was merely a probing strike. He had held back, maintaining a certain measure of restraint.

His goal was likely just to suppress Gu Yun.

Otherwise,

if someone with power approaching the True Martial Realm Ninth Layer Peak were to attack with their full strength, shaking the heavens and moving the earth would be a simple matter!

Even so,

the thought of how severely he was injured that day...

"There will be a time for this!"

"I will have my revenge for this insult!!"

A shadow fell over Gu Yun’s eyes as he spoke the last words through gritted teeth.

He took a deep breath.

’Time to cultivate!’

With this thought, Gu Yun waved his hand, and a hazy golden light appeared in his palm. This was none other than the Dragon Soul Nine Heavens Pill he had obtained for reaching the seventh floor of the Profound Celestial Trial Tower.

The Elixir radiated a hazy golden light. Faintly, profound golden runes were branded upon its surface, appearing like golden dragon souls coiled within and emitting a majestic Long Wei!

The Dragon Soul Nine Heavens Pill, a Profound Tier Top Grade Elixir.

Within the True Martial Realm, it was a top-grade Elixir for increasing one’s Cultivation, refining one’s Physique, and strengthening one’s Spiritual Sense.

Even a True Martial Peak expert would likely turn green with envy upon seeing it!

After settling his state of mind,

Gu Yun sat on his meditation mat and swallowed the Dragon Soul Nine Heavens Pill—the one radiating a hazy golden light, covered in profound runes, and seemingly wreathed in dragon souls rising like mist!

The Dragon Soul Nine Heavens Pill passed down his throat and settled in his Dantian.

Then, an immeasurably vast medicinal power erupted like a volcano, flooding his entire body.

Faintly, terrifying golden dragons could be seen coiling around Gu Yun’s body, emitting an endless Long Wei!!

An immensely vast and pure medicinal power filled Gu Yun’s body,

but he remained completely calm. Composed, he focused his qi in his Dantian and activated the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision. He mobilized the vast True Yuan in his body, directing it like a tidal current to circulate the immense medicinal power through his Four Meridians and Eight Vessels, slowly refining it.

At the same time, arcs of Thunder appeared around Gu Yun, complementing the terrifying golden dragons coiling about him. An extremely powerful momentum emanated from him, causing the air to ripple like the surface of disturbed water.

...

Meanwhile,

within the Profound Celestial Sect,

in a place of intersecting mountain ranges that rose and fell like a turbulent sea, one after another, resembling coiling flood dragons,

an ocean of green forest stretched out below. Nurtured by the dense Spiritual Qi, ancient trees so thick it would take dozens of people to encircle them grew lush and verdant.

In the distance, on a mountain peak that soared into the clouds, wreathed in hazy golden light, immensely vast and piercing the Nine Heavens,

two figures were conversing inside an ancient palace filled with extremely dense energy.

"Senior Brother Qin!"

"That guy... should we...?"

Song Fuchuan made a throat-slitting gesture toward Qin Xuan, who stood before him with his back turned and his hands clasped behind him.

"No need!!"

"First of all, that kid is indeed strong. The likes of you are no match for him!"

"Secondly, in my eyes, he is ultimately just a chosen who has yet to fully mature!"

"Do you understand?!"

Qin Xuan spoke, his voice deep and resonant. With his hands clasped behind his back, his sharp gaze looked out beyond the palace.

...

「Celestial Thunder Dao Peak」

Inside the cave residence rich with Spiritual Qi,

Gu Yun pushed the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision to its limit. A vast aura emanated from him, causing the surrounding space to roil and tremble like a boundless tsunami.

Arcs of Thunder scattered throughout the cave, and the flashing light of the electricity instantly illuminated the entire chamber.

Simultaneously, Gu Yun’s aura climbed steadily, rising continuously as the momentum he exuded grew stronger and stronger!

Time slowly passed.

「Six months later.」

Gu Yun’s eyes snapped open, electric as a flash of Thunder. A sharp aura, as if piercing the very heavens, vanished in an instant.

At the same moment, an extremely powerful aura erupted from within him. The immense momentum was like a tidal wave, creating massive ripples in the void,

and causing space itself to tremble violently.

"Hah!"

"Sixth Layer Peak!"

’The effects of this Dragon Soul Nine Heavens Pill are just too powerful,’ Gu Yun thought, his eyes filled with shock.

’Not only did my True Essence Cultivation break through multiple times,’

’but the range of my Spiritual Sense also expanded from thirty li to fifty li!!’

’Keep in mind, the Spiritual Sense of an ordinary cultivator with a True Martial Realm Ninth Layer Cultivation only extends about thirty to forty kilometers,’

’but my Spiritual Sense is now even stronger than that of a typical True Martial Realm Ninth Layer cultivator!!’

The effects of the Dragon Soul Nine Heavens Pill didn’t stop there. His body had been refined once more. A tyrannical surge of qi and blood rushed forth, causing the surrounding space to visibly distort.

It even gave him the illusion that he could shatter the heavens with a single punch!!

’But still, my strength has really increased immensely!!’

Gu Yun clenched his fists, feeling the ocean of True Yuan and the extremely tyrannical Physique within his body.

A vicious glint appeared in his ink-black eyes.

"Qin Xuan, you just wait!!"

Then,

his Spiritual Sense surged into his Storage Ring. After a long moment,

a flash of light revealed an old-fashioned notebook.

Gu Yun gazed at the little notebook, which he had sealed away for a long time. A flicker of nostalgia and fondness passed through his eyes!

’Back in the day,’

’when I first arrived in this world,’

’I had to tread on thin ice, enduring all sorts of bullying, suppression, and insidious plots.’

’All of those people were written down in my little notebook.’

’When I was weak, I swallowed my anger, acted meekly, and walked on eggshells!’

’But once I became strong, I struck back hard, revealed my true edge, and never let a grudge last overnight!!’

With a flick of True Yuan,

the notebook’s pages flipped open one by one, revealing columns of names that had been crossed out.

When it reached the latest blank page,

Gu Yun gathered his True Yuan and branded a name upon it, stroke by stroke: Qin Xuan!

Once this was done, Gu Yun closed the little notebook.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

"That which doesn’t kill me makes me stronger!"

"Time to train!!"

Gu Yun murmured to himself.

He then began his closed-door Cultivation.

「Three months later.」

With a thought, Gu Yun

summoned the long-unseen Heaven Rewards Diligence Skill Level panel into his mind’s eye.
