Xiang Yu felt a small pang of disappointment when he examined the experience gain for his body refining cultivation. He had expected the numbers to be higher than this, though when he really thought about it, the fact that his cultivation had jumped two entire realms made the moderate gain somewhat understandable. Still, he had a feeling the growth would pick up again soon.
Although his body was gradually adapting to the constant cycle of destruction and regeneration, the two bloodlines within him continued growing stronger with each passing moment. They were expanding and concentrating into themselves, having no room to grow beyond their current boundaries. As they became more and more densely packed with power, Xiang Yu suspected the experience gain might start increasing dramatically.
As for his qi refining progress, he couldn’t say he was particularly disappointed, but he wasn’t entirely satisfied either. He held onto hope that this aspect would also improve along with the increasing concentration of his bloodline essences.
His mind and soul cultivation levels had both crossed the halfway point and would advance to their next ranks after the next reset. But these weren’t the only attributes preparing for major breakthroughs after the next reset. His spiritual root, Transcendent Dao Body, Chaos Body, enlightenment, and even the Abyssal Void Flame were all positioned to level up during the very next reset.
Just thinking about this convergence of breakthroughs made him feel incredibly excited. These were the stats he was most eager to see advance, and somehow they had all synchronized to evolve at the same time. He couldn’t even begin to imagine what kind of changes they would bring to his abilities. Would he instantly ascend? Well, maybe that was pushing it a bit far, but they would definitely increase his combat power by a significant margin.
He found himself wondering if he’d finally be able to defeat Li Yao in her limit break form after all these improvements. Well, he’d just have to wait and see what happened.
Suddenly, he noticed something he had actually missed during his initial review. His spiritual root had increased by fifty points, which made him pause in confusion. He tried to figure out how this had happened, eventually guessing it was probably due to the bloodlines constantly tearing apart and mending his body, creating some sort of rebirth effect that refined his spiritual root.
What he couldn’t understand was whether this was a one-time occurrence or if he could potentially increase his spiritual root experience points daily through this method. The implications were staggering if it was the latter. He decided to set this mystery aside for later investigation.
Looking over his combat techniques, he wasn’t entirely satisfied with their progress, though the advancement was still respectable. He hoped the development speed would increase once his enlightenment attribute advanced the following day. He knew he could gain even more experience if he simply allocated more time to practicing his techniques, but he didn’t want to carve out even more hours from his already impossibly tight daily schedule.
He had asked Li Yao about cloning techniques before, and she had explained that the ones she knew could only work for Soul Formation realm cultivators. Xiang Yu wondered if this limitation had something to do with true qi, or perhaps the soul itself. The cult leader had managed to create a soul clone, so did the technique require an actual soul to inhabit a new body constructed from true qi?
Realizing his thoughts were spiraling into increasingly complex territory, he decided not to dwell on it for the moment. When his enlightenment improved, he would try conducting some experiments of his own. So what if such a technique didn’t already exist? He could always create one himself.
...
More of his elemental palm techniques were beginning to enter the completion stage. He had grown so powerful that he’d almost forgotten the original reason he had learned these techniques in the first place—to eventually merge them into a single, usable combat method back when he didn’t possess any high-level techniques of his own.
Nowadays, with his current understanding and abilities, he could probably create something entirely new at the level of the Ten Seasons Sword Art without breaking a sweat. Well, he’d see what happened when the time came to actually attempt the fusion. Even if the merged technique didn’t produce something particularly spectacular, he didn’t think it would be much of a loss. In the process of developing these palm techniques, he had discovered the Chaos Body physique, which had already proven quite useful.
