We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

The words are divided into two parts.

The Third Prince used the Blood Escape Technique to teleport everyone to a place a thousand miles away.

Already severely injured, he is now on the verge of death due to using the Blood Escape Technique.

Fortunately, he had many healing pills on him, and after taking them and recuperating for a while, his complexion improved.

"Third Prince, are you alright?"

Upon seeing the Third Prince open his eyes, everyone asked with concern.

At this moment, everyone was exhausted and their energy was depleted, as if they had lost a battle and had no fighting spirit left.

Even the three proud princes were no longer as arrogant as before, and hung their heads like defeated roosters.

"I'm fine!"

The Third Prince coughed lightly and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Third Brother, what do we do now?"

One of the princes asked, completely flustered and at a loss for what to do.

"How about we go back to the capital and ask a powerful martial artist to deal with this person?"

Another prince suggested through gritted teeth, saying he simply couldn't swallow this insult.

"That's right. No matter how strong he is, what does he amount to in front of a true Divine Power Realm martial artist? As long as we ask a Divine Power Realm martial artist to take action, we will definitely be able to kill this person. No matter who he is, as long as he dares to provoke us, he must die!"

The last prince agreed, his voice filled with hatred when he spoke of Su Chen.

As a member of the royal family of the Holy Blood Kingdom, he had never suffered such humiliation.

The thought of losing face in front of Su Chen made him want to tear the other man to pieces.

In his rage, he didn't care about Su Chen's identity; no matter what identity he had, he was no greater than a member of the royal family.

The dignity of royalty can only be washed away with blood!

"Shut up! It's one thing to be ashamed of your own inferior skills, but you also have to spread the word so that everyone knows?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's face turned extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but angrily rebuke the other party.

"What should we do then?" The man asked weakly, sensing the Third Prince's anger.

“Third Prince, I have a distant cousin who was once a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm. He is currently recuperating in the nearby Hengduan Mountains due to his injuries. If we can ask him to help, we might have a chance to kill this fiend. If the Third Prince agrees, I am willing to persuade my distant cousin. He might help out of respect for the Third Prince.”

Just as the Third Prince was pondering what to do, one of his subordinates spoke up.

"Is this true?" the Third Prince asked in surprise upon hearing this.

"I wouldn't dare deceive the Third Prince," the other party replied honestly.

"Alright, if this is true, take me there immediately. If this matter is resolved, I, the prince, will definitely find you a divine fruit to help you break through to the next level and allow you to ascend to the heavens in one step!" The Third Prince promised.

"Thank you, Third Prince!"

The man quickly thanked him and then left with the Third Prince and his entourage.

……

"The physical body carries the soul, while qi and blood permeate the physical body. The transformation of qi and blood is exquisite and profound. The Blood Transformation Technique is an unparalleled divine power that can forge supreme qi and blood, condense qi and blood dharma forms, and lay an unmatched foundation for the physical body. Once cultivated to the level of divine power, one can suppress and kill any demons and monsters in the world with qi and blood..."

The manual's opening, with only a few hundred words of brief introduction, exuded a domineering aura that even subtly impressed Su Chen.

After reading it, Su Chen was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.

He hadn't expected that Qian Shuang possessed such a powerful martial art.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was a method for cultivating supernatural powers!
"Unfortunately, the general outline is very mysterious, but the actual content is not much. It seems to be a fragment, and the record is not complete."

After reading the manual, Su Chen gradually calmed down.

Things are not as simple as you imagine.

This technique is indeed a method for cultivating supernatural powers, but it is incomplete.

It only records how to cultivate to the Dharma Aspect Realm, and how to condense the Dharma Aspect of Qi and Blood through the transformation of Qi and Blood.

As for the cultivation methods to reach the Longevity Realm or even the Divine Power Realm, there is no way of knowing them.

"Eh, benefactor, this cultivation technique actually requires the Imperial Blood Pill for practice. No wonder Qian Shuang can refine the Imperial Blood Pill. It turns out that he obtained the formula from this secret manual. The greatest function of the Imperial Blood Pill is not to enhance blood and qi, but to be used in conjunction with the Blood Transformation Technique for cultivation."

The manual reveals that the Blood Transformation Technique requires nine transformations. There are five transformations before the Divine Power Realm: Meridian Opening Realm, Yuan Gathering Realm, Yuan Shen Realm, Dharma Aspect Realm, and Longevity Realm. With each transformation, the blood and qi will become stronger. After reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm, one can condense a blood and qi Dharma Aspect.

The Qi and Blood Dharma Form is slightly different from the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form. It is more like it is attached to the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, just like a pregnant mother. It can serve as an auxiliary Dharma Form to enhance the power of the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, and can even merge with the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form to make the Dharma Form stronger.

However, I remember that Qian Shuang didn't seem to have condensed a Qi and Blood Dharma Form; otherwise, his strength wouldn't be so weak.

Zhu Yan took the manual from Su Chen and began to read it. After a long while, he said thoughtfully.

Su Chen knew the reason and replied, "This is because cultivating this divine ability requires a massive amount of Imperial Blood Pills."

Qianshuang's own crafting alone is simply insufficient to meet his daily cultivation needs.

Even if he spent thousands or tens of thousands of years, he probably wouldn't be able to cultivate this technique to the Dharma Aspect Realm level and condense a Qi and Blood Dharma Aspect.

I now understand how difficult it is to cultivate supernatural powers; it requires not only a large amount of resources but also an unimaginable amount of time.

Qian Shuang must have realized this as well, which is why she controlled the other alchemists to refine the Royal Blood Pill.

Of course, even so, it's just a drop in the ocean.

Although I don't know how long he has been cultivating, I can sense that he has at most cultivated the Blood Transformation Technique to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Its true power is probably not even as great as the supernatural abilities of the young royal family member we encountered earlier.

He realized this when he fought Qian Shuang, but at that time, the gap between the two sides was too great.

He took care of his opponent in just two moves, so he didn't even notice these things.

Looking back now, I should have held back a little and given the other party a chance to speak.

Zhu Yan wasn't particularly concerned about this technique. He closed the manual and said, "Supernatural powers are inherently difficult to cultivate, requiring a lot of time and resources."

This supernatural ability is alright; at least it provides elixirs to aid in cultivation.

Unfortunately, each level of cultivation requires a large number of Royal Blood Pills. If they weren't incomplete, I would love to try cultivating them.

"My benefactor, your talent is so extraordinary, would you like to give it a try?"

Su Chen took the manual and nodded.

The manual is incomplete, requires a massive amount of resources, and is difficult to cultivate...

These conditions were not a problem for him, so Su Chen naturally had no reason to refuse cultivation.

"I will begin my cultivation now. Please protect me."

Su Chen couldn't wait to start cultivating, so after leaving a message, he began his seclusion.

"what?"

Zhu Yan was stunned. "No way, he's already started cultivating?"

He originally thought that Su Chen would wait until he returned to the Ziyang Sect to cultivate, after all, it was a divine ability, and no matter how high Su Chen's comprehension was, he couldn't master it in just a few days. However, Su Chen immediately went into seclusion to cultivate, eager to master it right away.

He smiled bitterly to himself, but Zhu Yan didn't say much, quietly guarding Su Chen.

Su Chen, who was in seclusion, looked troubled.

As soon as he began his cultivation, he encountered a problem he had never faced before.

"Before, no matter what cultivation method I practiced, I would only read it ten times at most before I could understand and comprehend it, and the corresponding method would be displayed on the panel. But this time, I read it twenty times in total, and I still felt like I was seeing flowers through a fog. It really is a supernatural power. The difficulty of cultivation has increased dozens of times compared to other cultivation methods." Su Chen finally got the result he wanted after reading the manual a hundred times.

The panel suddenly changed, displaying new text:
Name: Su Chen

[Martial Arts: Boundless Vajra Iron Cloth (Seventh Level); Nirvana Draw Sword Technique (Thirteenth Level)...]

[Supernatural Power: Blood Transformation Technique (0%)]

【简单模式：无量金刚铁布0次（4万纯元丹/次）；寂灭拔刀术0次（6000纯元丹/次）……蜕血大法0次（10000皇血丹/次）】

"A new category for supernatural powers has been added, which is exactly what I guessed!"
However, the cultivation of supernatural powers seems to be quite different from the cultivation of martial arts.

There are no small achievements or major achievements, no first level or second level, but instead a progress bar format.

Could it be that if I push the progress bar to its maximum, I can learn this supernatural power?

Su Chen pondered, based on his understanding of the panel, it shouldn't be that simple.

After all, this technique is not a complete one; no matter how powerful the stats are, they can't complete the technique for him.

"It is estimated that the new cultivation conditions will only appear when cultivation reaches a certain level."

"Never mind that for now, let's practice and see how it goes."

Su Chen examined the Imperial Blood Pills he obtained from Qian Shuang's residence, counted them carefully, and arrived at an accurate number.

There are 15,000 in total.

There were originally more than 30,000, but half of them were given to Zhu Yan, so only these are left.

Fortunately, that's enough to activate the easy mode once.

He took out ten thousand Royal Blood Pills and swallowed them one thousand at a time. Soon, a surge of powerful blood energy welled up in his body.

His surging blood and qi caused his body to turn red.

After swallowing ten thousand Royal Blood Pills at once, Su Chen's skin turned bright red, like iron being scorched by high temperatures.

Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough to withstand the surge of blood and qi condensed from these ten thousand Imperial Blood Pills.

Seeing that the conditions on the panel were all set, Su Chen quickly switched to easy mode.

[Easy Mode Activated: Swallow 100 times to increase the Blood Shedding Technique by 1%.]

When the simple mode was activated, Su Chen was completely stunned.

"Wait a minute, why is it only a 1% increase? That's way too slow!"

He thought it would be a sudden boost to the limit, but who would have thought it would only be a mere 1%.

This is simply a way to fob off a beggar.

Just as I sensed something was wrong, the panel had already been upgraded.

Su Chen's body did not change much; in fact, he felt nothing at all during the enhancement process.

"Ten thousand Royal Blood Pills can only improve by 1%. To cultivate to the limit, wouldn't it take one million Royal Blood Pills?"
No wonder Qian Shuang has never been able to cultivate to the level of supernatural powers. With so many pills, who could possibly refine such a thing in less than several hundred or even a thousand years!

After some calculations, he finally understood why Qian Shuang had only cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even with his advanced skills, without sufficient elixirs, it would probably take him over a hundred years to cultivate.

Slow as a snail!

Su Chen was unaware that cultivating a supreme divine ability within a hundred years was already astonishingly fast.

Which martial artist at the Divine Power Realm doesn't spend a thousand years in seclusion?

"I thought the Imperial Blood Pill would be enough, but now it seems it's far from sufficient."

The remaining Imperial Blood Pills were not enough for Su Chen to continue his cultivation, but he did not leave seclusion. Instead, he planned to take this opportunity to cultivate the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt and the Annihilation Drawing Sword Technique to their limits.

In particular, the Nirvana Sword Drawing Technique has been neglected since Su Chen obtained the Myriad Intent Technique due to the lack of Pure Yuan Pills.

Having now obtained over 100,000 Pure Yuan Pills from the Vice Sect Master, Su Chen naturally didn't need to be stingy.

Moreover, even after Su Chen cultivates the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt technique to its limit, he still has enough Pure Yuan Pills left for further cultivation.

Soon, after an hour, Su Chen had pushed the Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique to its limit.

The panel refreshed, and as he expected, new conditions appeared. But this time, the conditions surprised Su Chen slightly.

"The new condition is the Supernatural Fruit!"

The panel shows that ten Divine Fruits are needed to further improve the Annihilation Draw Sword Technique.

"Very well, it seems that we have no choice but to go to the battlefield, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away, now."

Su Chen murmured to himself, not really caring, since he had planned to go to the front lines anyway.

Only on the front lines is there a chance to obtain the Supernatural Fruit.

Temporarily abandoning the upgrade of the Nirvana Draw Sword Technique, Su Chen turned to upgrading the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt Technique.

As soon as the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt technique was enhanced, Su Chen clearly felt that his realm had entered the Perfect Longevity Realm.

Next, I can start preparing to break through to the Divine Power Realm.

Recalling Yang Jiu's introduction to the Divine Power Realm, Su Chen's heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.

"Only by reaching the realm of supernatural powers can one truly step onto the stage of the Ten Directions World!"

Having cultivated to this point, Su Chen naturally wanted to take a turn on this stage.

After venting his lofty aspirations, Su Chen's attention returned to the control panel.

As is customary, the conditions for advancing to the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt skill change with each breakthrough in a major realm.

This is the same as the Annihilation Draw Sword Technique.

As expected, the panel presented new conditions.

It wasn't a pill or a fruit, but a cultivation technique that made Su Chen's eyelids twitch.

"The Pure Dharma?"

Judging from the name alone, Su Chen had no idea what kind of cultivation technique this was.

"It's probably another niche but powerful technique."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen gave up and decided to find out more information later.

"My benefactor, you've emerged from seclusion?"

Half a day passed, and Zhu Yan was also in seclusion cultivating when he suddenly felt a surge of energy. He opened his eyes and saw Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded: "We've almost finished cultivating. Let's not delay any longer and go take care of some important business."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yan was about to ask Su Chen how his cultivation was going when Su Chen changed the subject.

Seeing his serious expression, Zhu Yan became curious, wondering what important matter he was talking about.

Su Chen did not answer, but left with Zhu Yan.

After a while, the two arrived above a ruined city, transformed into two ordinary people, and entered the city.

Zhu Yan looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help but ask Su Chen, "My benefactor, what's this?" (End of Chapter)
