I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1006: Chapter 552: Guidance Book Mastery Chapter 1006: Chapter 552: Guidance Book Mastery As the sword light flashed, the outcome was no longer in doubt.

Chen Mobai flicked his sleeve gently, and a soft mist of cloud and twilight unfurled, securely catching Yin Qingmei as she fell from the stage, shielding her as she lightly touched down to the ground.

This “Red Misty Cloud Silk” had been refined by Ming Yuhua, and it was already a lower-grade Rank-3 Magic Artifact.

Although its defensive power was only marginally acceptable among Rank-3 Magic Artifacts, the key was that it could continuously advance in rank, and both the materials and the path for enhancement were clear and straightforward.

As long as Chen Mobai could obtain Rank-3 materials like Chixia, Fresh Wind, Jade Dew, and Smoke Stream Spiritual Material, he could upgrade it into a Rank-3 Peak Magic Artifact.

If he could later acquire the Rank-4 versions of these five types of materials, then it could be upgraded into the “Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo.”

The full potential of this Magic Artifact could reach the Fourth Stage Pinnacle.

Moreover, if it could be combined with a Formation and nature’s spiritual energy in the future, it could even exert power beyond Rank-4, but this was something only Ancestor Yunya of the Dance Tool Dao Academy had ever achieved.

“Sect Leader, I’ve let you down.”

After landing, Yin Qingmei immediately came before Chen Mobai to apologize.

“It’s alright.”

Chen Mobai merely smiled and spoke two words. Yin Qingmei had already done very well. Although she hadn’t managed to defeat Bai Cai, she had helped him complete the final piece of the puzzle.

His left eye opened slightly, and the golden lines within had already outlined Bai Cai completely.

With that, he finally made an entry into the “Guidance Book.”

When he was studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute, he had spent a lot of effort trying to practice this number one auxiliary Cultivation Technique of the Immortal Gate, but he had never been able to find his way into it.

The reason boiled down to nothing more than his own lack of comprehension.

Chen Mobai didn’t pay too much attention to this. After all, if he continued along the path of the Pure Yang Scroll, the Broad Avenue to the heavens lay ahead, and whether he had the Guidance Book or not didn’t matter much.

However, whenever he had time, he would still attempt to practice it.

Persistence is the key to success in any endeavor.

After Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, he finally entered the state of Guidance Book during a chance occurrence.

That was during his battle with Nanxuan Jing!

But at the time of that life-and-death fight, Chen Mobai didn’t realize that it was the state of the Guidance Book; he simply thought his talent for Magic Duels was exceptional and naturally advanced to that kind of analytical state of the Empty Ming Realm, where he could assess both the enemy and himself.

However, upon reflection afterward, he noticed something was amiss.

Though over the years Chen Mobai had also come to understand that his talent for Magic Duels was somewhat exceptional, no matter how exceptional it was, it shouldn’t have been possible to visualize both the opponent and himself in such detail, even quantifying them and forming comprehensive models and data for comparison!

He realized that at that moment, he might have accidentally satisfied the requirements of the Guidance Book with his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, naturally advancing to that state.

After realizing this, Chen Mobai reviewed the battle with Nanxuan Jing in his sea of consciousness hundreds of times, and he finally grasped the opportunity to practice the Guidance Book.

It was battle!

Because only during combat was his thought process at its sharpest, meeting the requirements to master the Guidance Book.

Chen Mobai tried many things in the Little Red Sky, but because he knew that the battles there weren’t life-and-death struggles, progress with the Guidance Book was slow, sometimes working and sometimes not.

The breakthrough opportunity came when Zhuo Ming cultivated the Rank-2 Enlightenment White Tea!

Resources were still the key!

After all the roundabout paths, Chen Mobai found himself back on the Broad Avenue.

Drinking a cup of Enlightenment White Tea every day, even though only the first cup was effective, he would continue to replace the water until there was no trace of the tea’s flavor, because although the subsequent cups didn’t allow him to enter a state of Enlightenment, they still enhanced his cognitive processing.

He would even swallow the tea leaves last, demonstrating an aspect of frugality.

But the real breakthrough in mastering the Guidance Book came during his battle with Master Huakai.

It was an unmistakable life-or-death duel, and without his conscious awareness, Chen Mobai once again entered that supremely calm state of the Empty Ming Realm.

Utilizing Gongsun Jielu and Lan Haitian’s successive interventions, he barely managed to establish a three-dimensional model of Master Huakai, and after negotiating with the Purple Electric Sword the reward for three strikes, he finally won a hard-fought victory!

After slaying Master Huakai, Chen Mobai drank all of his remaining Enlightenment White Tea under the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and even obtained half a pound more from Wen Ren Xuewei, so as to firmly grasp the state of the Guidance Book.

However, Chen Mobai discovered that his version of the Guidance Book seemed to be somewhat unorthodox.

It could only be augmented when he was in a state of combat.

Concerned about this, Chen Mobai sought out a professional, Ding Chundzhi of the Astral Observation Academy.

But Ding Chundzhi told Chen Mobai that this was normal; for example, when he practiced the Guidance Book, it was to improve the accuracy and speed of his astrological deductions.

However, as one’s Cultivation Level advanced and Divine Sense was enhanced, the scope of the Guidance Book’s application could broaden. That depended on the individual.

Elder Yuanxu’s Guidance Book was fully focused on research.

Originally, this was the purpose of the Guidance Book.

Using it in combat was just a basic analytical function that came with it.

Most who mastered the Guidance Book could do this, but wouldn’t delve deeper into research and application.

“Brother Chen is an unparalleled genius in Sword Cultivation, so after mastering the Guidance Book, it automatically augmented your strongest ability to duel, further reinforcing your strength. With further practice, you can extend its application to Farming, Talisman-making, and so on. It’s because your talent for dueling is too overpowering, you need not worry!”
