119: Becoming invincible

In addition to the Divine Dragon Five Styles, Long Aotian also selected several other Martial Skills.

Perhaps some might say, don't bite off more than you can chew.

But was Long Aotian afraid of biting off more than he could chew?

Clearly not!

Don't forget, he could split into one hundred and eight Soul Bodies to Cultivate simultaneously. Each Soul Body could learn one Martial Skill, allowing him to learn one hundred and eight Martial Skills at once. When the Souls merged, the learning achievements of the Soul Bodies would all return to him.

This was the terrifying aspect of his multitasking; there was simply no such thing as biting off more than he could chew.

Besides the Divine Dragon Five Styles, Long Aotian also chose a Swordplay Technique Martial Skill to learn.

This Swordplay Technique Martial Skill was also extremely terrifying. It could create a Sword Formation for both offense and defense, and when the Swordplay Technique was Cultivated to its extreme, there was a move called Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, which directly seized control of the opponent's sword weapon.

And this was not even the ultimate killing move of the Swordplay Technique.

The peak Realm of Swordplay Technique was the Swordplay of Nothingness.

This meant not needing a sword; the surrounding air, space, Law, and everything else could become a sword for a domineering attack.

Swordplay Technique was divided into two parts:

The Swordplay of Existence and the Swordplay of Nothingness.

The ultimate of the Swordplay of Existence was Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

No one knew what the ultimate of the Swordplay of Nothingness was.

No one had ever seen someone who had Cultivated the Swordplay of Nothingness to its ultimate use its ultimate killing move. To learn the Swordplay of Nothingness, one must first Cultivate the Swordplay of Existence to its ultimate. However, basically ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent of Sword Cultivators could at most Cultivate the Sword Dao to the ultimate of the Swordplay of Existence with Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. The number of Sword Cultivators who could take another step and touch upon the Swordplay of Nothingness was pitifully small.

In addition to learning Swordplay Technique, Long Aotian also found a Cultivation Technique for Cultivating Divine Sense and a Divine Sense attack Martial Skill, the Divine Killing Art.

Finding a Cultivation Technique for Cultivating Divine Sense and a Divine Sense attack Martial Skill made Long Aotian truly overjoyed. Such Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills were absolutely rare in the world, perhaps not even existing on the entire Sky Ruins Continent. Their value was even not inferior to the Divine Dragon Five Styles and Swordplay Technique.

Besides these three combat Martial Skills, Long Aotian also selected combat Martial Skills for various elemental powers based on his twelve attribute Spiritual Roots. Perhaps they could be useful in certain specific combat situations, and it was always good to have many skills and be prepared for anything.

Inside the Treasure Pagoda, Long Aotian began to enter a state of self-forgetful Cultivation.

Alchemy, Formation, Talismans, Crafting, and improving his Cultivation were all pursued without exception. Multitasking, he split into one hundred and eight Soul Bodies, learning and advancing in all aspects.

There was still about half a year until his Promotion Ceremony to Deputy Peak Lord of Dragon Peak. Although he did not believe anyone foolish enough could threaten him at the Promotion Ceremony, he still wanted to face the Promotion Ceremony in his best state.

He did not believe anyone could threaten him, but he absolutely did not believe that no one foolish enough would provoke him.

Half a year later, he was almost thirteen years old. The physical growth of Cultivators was much faster than ordinary people. At nearly thirteen, he was about as tall as an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, and could no longer be underestimated as a child.

However, his young age was both an advantage and a weakness. Those foolish fellows would definitely think he was easy to bully because of his young age. He had to teach those who thought he was easy to bully because of his young age a profound lesson.

Furthermore!

Ao Jingtain was also a factor that could not be ignored.

Ao Jingtain saying she was the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Barrens was not an exaggeration. At least, Long Aotian had never seen a woman more beautiful than Ao Jingtain; at most, they were as beautiful as Ao Jingtain, equally matched.

How many high-ranking members of Cloud Palace considered Ao Jingtain their dream lover? Now that he had grown into a graceful Young Master and was about to be promoted to Deputy Peak Lord of Dragon Peak, this was the rhythm of 'the one nearest the water gets the moon first'. Would those high-ranking members who regarded Ao Jingtain as their dream lover not make things difficult for him at the Promotion Ceremony?

These were all things he needed to face.

They say beautiful women bring trouble, and Long Aotian could only silently endure it. If they wanted to challenge him, Long Aotian, they could come. He, Long Aotian, would face everything in a completely new state.

Nearly half a year of seclusion in the Treasure Pagoda, with a nine-times time flow rate, amounted to approximately four years and five months. In such a long time, Long Aotian could even raise his Cultivation Realm by several minor Realms.

It took Long Aotian three months to Breakthrough from the First Stage of the Mahayana Realm to the Second Stage of the Mahayana Realm.

Now, it took Long Aotian five months to Breakthrough from the Second Stage of the Mahayana Realm to the Third Stage of the Mahayana Realm.

It took Long Aotian seven months to Breakthrough from the Fourth Stage of the Mahayana Realm to the Fifth Stage of the Mahayana Realm... Four years passed in a flash.

Long Aotian's Cultivation Realm had Breakthrough to the Seventh Stage of the Mahayana Realm, closely catching up to Ao Jingtain's Eighth Stage of the Mahayana Realm, which was quite terrifying.

However, it was highly probable that Ao Jingtain's Cultivation had also Breakthrough to the Ninth Stage of the Mahayana Realm during her current seclusion, so he was still two minor Realms behind Ao Jingtain.

But if he were to fight Ao Jingtain, Long Aotian was full of confidence; he could definitely defeat her now.

Having Breakthrough to the Seventh Stage of the Mahayana Realm, he could contend with ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Realm Late Stage powerhouses. Ao Jingtain's ability to challenge those above her Realm could at most span five minor Realms, allowing her to contend only with ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Realm Middle Stage powerhouses.

In a fight with him, she would be completely crushed.

It is worth mentioning that in these four-plus years, Long Aotian's ordinary Formations finally advanced from level eight to level nine. However, the Void Formation still needed a few more years to reach level nine, but this already made Long Aotian very satisfied.

Now, he was a true level nine Grand Formation King. Previously, when his level eight Void Formation erupted with the power of a level nine ordinary Formation, others mistakenly thought he was a level nine Grand Formation King, but at that time, he was only a quasi-level nine Grand Formation King.

In addition to his Formation Cultivation reaching a rather pleasing height, Long Aotian's Alchemy also advanced from a third-grade alchemist to a sixth-grade alchemist. His Talisman Dao and Crafting Dao also advanced to similar Realms as his Alchemy.

This speed of advancement was astonishing, but with Long Aotian's ability to split into one hundred and eight Soul Bodies for simultaneous Cultivation, coupled with the nine-times time flow rate in the Treasure Pagoda and the rich experience from Ao Zhan's memories, everything was not a problem.

One hundred and eight Soul Bodies did not mean that one Soul Body could only Cultivate one Dao, one Law, or one skill. For example, when Long Aotian needed to urgently learn a certain Martial Skill, he would mobilize multiple Soul Bodies to learn it simultaneously, and then quickly master that Martial Skill when the Souls merged.

The reason why Long Aotian's Alchemy, Talisman Dao, Crafting Dao, and other minor Daos were all at similar Realms was primarily because whenever Long Aotian saw one lagging slightly behind, he would assign an additional Soul Body to learn it, thereby speeding up the progress.

In other words, whether it was Alchemy, Crafting, Talismans, or Formations, Long Aotian had more than one Soul Body learning; multiple Soul Bodies were tackling the difficulties.

This resulted in him learning everything quickly, especially with the nine-times time flow rate in the Treasure Pagoda, which made it even faster and astonishing...
