Chapter 402: Chapter 34: Inner Core Skill, Six Breakthroughs
For over a year, Wang Sheng had been cultivating, and the pure spiritual energy gained from his spirit world was quickly depleted.
He originally thought that with so much pure spiritual energy, the realm should have been the first to break through, but the reality was not so.

In fact, throughout this year, there hadn’t been much progress in various martial techniques or even knowledge-based skills since Wang Sheng’s main focus had been on his spirit world and cultivation techniques.
The daily accumulation of pure spiritual power wasn’t much, and for Wang Sheng it could be said to be like casting a cup of water on a cartload of burning wood—his strength was too formidable, and the slight increase in spiritual power couldn’t provide him with an effective boost.
But the persistent trickle added up day by day, collecting a considerable amount of pure spiritual power over ti, which greatly helped with his cultivation.
As a result, the realm linked with spiritual power, such as the Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter, had made great progress, almost to the point of a breakthrough, an advancent.
Among them, Inner Core Skill was the foundation thod he cultivated in conjunction with the harvesting thod.
This cultivation thod was also a combination of various Inner Core Skill cultivation techniques in Wang Sheng’s mory. Although it was called a cultivation technique, it was actually more like a thod guiding him on his path.
Other cultivation techniques had powerful entries appear when breaking through three tis, such as the Blood Qi entry of Ba Duan Jin, the Five Internal Organs Containing God of the Five Elents Fist, and so on.
But the Inner Core Skill didn’t have any. The only special aspect was the breakthrough once, which gradually led him towards a different path from Qi Blood Martial Arts.
And the subsequent three breakthroughs didn’t yield any remarkable effects either.
Now, the Inner Core Skill, which he started cultivating at the sa ti as Ba Duan Jin, had also successfully broken through six tis.
“What effect will the Inner Core Skill have after breaking through six tis?”
Unlike other skills, the Inner Core Skill was his most valued ability. Although he did not have to force it, if there was any powerful ability, naturally it would be better.
“For a skill categorized under cultivation techniques, the only thing to do is to try and cultivate it.”
Cultivating the Inner Core Skill was already a daily necessity for Wang Sheng, who did not hesitate and directly began to attempt cultivation.
After a while, Wang Sheng completed a full cycle of Inner Core Skill cultivation.
“Each level increase would speed up the cultivation process. This ti was the sa—the cultivation speed increased again, and the path beca even clearer.”
This result was an expected outco. The level increase of cultivation technique skills would do just that.
“But what cos next is the key point. Even though no new entries appeared, the effects are actually better than if they had!”
The Inner Core Skill had broken through six tis and finally gained a new special effect.
“Enhancent Talisman: 6 (77%)”— “Enhancent Talisman: 6 (77.5%)”
During this period, Wang Sheng had put all his focus on cultivating his technique, hence the Divine Ability Martial Techniques had not progressed at all and fell into stagnation.
However, just after cultivating the Inner Core Skill a mont ago, these Divine Skills and martial techniques had all made progress.
The most significant of these was the lowest-level Divine Skill, “Enhancent Talisman.”
After one cycle of the Inner Core Skill, it had directly increased by 0.5% progress.
This was the special effect of the Inner Core Skill breaking through six tis, which Wang Sheng nad “The Way and The Law.”
Each ti, while cultivating the Inner Core Skill, the martial techniques and Divine Skills would also make certain progress, and even without direct cultivation, the progress bars of these martial techniques and Divine Skills would grow.
The path of cultivation and the thod of protection, both are indispensable on the path of cultivation.
This ti, the Inner Core Skill linked the two, allowing for joint progress.
“It’s truly a fundantal thod, not showing off, but when it does, it’s a ga-changer!”
“The Way and The Law” might not seem like much on the surface, and it might not have increased Wang Sheng’s power by much, but in reality, the effect was incredibly astonishing.
“Why has there been so little progress in Wang Sheng’s martial techniques and Divine Skills for over a year, or even longer, except for the self-progressing ‘Sleeve Universe’?”
Ti is finite, and each day offers only so much of it. Wang Sheng must divide it among all his skills. If he were to spread it evenly, it would only lead to diocrity.
Yes, diocrity, not balance.
If he spent the sa amount of ti on everything, he wouldn’t even be close to perfecting his Spirit World, let alone dealing with the Heavenly Father.
Moreover, as the skill levels increase for Breaking through, the difficulty of each enhancent grows, demanding more ti.
Both Cultivation Techniques and martial skills are important, but prioritization is key.
Thus, Wang Sheng focused most of his energy on Cultivation Technique-related skills.
Skills in the realm of Cultivation Techniques could derive Divine Skills, and improving them could also increase combat power.
This didn’t an, however, that Wang Sheng disregarded the enhancent of martial techniques and Divine Skills.
The combination of Divine Skills derived from Cultivation Techniques with martial techniques and Divine Skills was his most potent offensive strategy. For example, the “Shocking World Dragon Spear” that inflicted heavy damage on the Heavenly Father several tis was a fusion of the Blood Qi Divine Ability and the Six Harmonies Spear.
However, due to ti constraints, Wang Sheng’s martial skills hadn’t seen significant progress in quite a while.
If this continued, the gap between Cultivation Techniques and martial skills and Divine Skills would widen even further, possibly leading to incompatibility.
Normally, Wang Sheng wouldn’t allow this to happen. The mont a gap ford, he would make use of ti to cultivate, not necessarily to beco much stronger but at least to be sufficient within the corresponding realm. However, this naturally required a considerable amount of ti.
But this ti, breaking the limits of Inner Core Skill six tis gave him a trendous surprise.
[Cultivating Inner Core Skill simultaneously augnts martial techniques and Divine Skills.]
This indicated not rely the advancent of martial skills but, more importantly, the freeing up of ti to do other things.
“Surprises always co so unexpectedly, huh!”
“Let’s see how the enhancent speed is.”
Wang Sheng entered cultivation once more, this ti for an entire day, to test the overall effect of the Inner Core Skill.
“Not too shabby. Although the speed isn’t extrely astonishing, it’s still able to keep pace with my own cultivation progress.”
The higher the level of martial techniques and Divine Skills, the less they gain from each session of cultivating Inner Core Skill.
“It’s good enough. Besides, the effects are likely to improve later on.”
In any case, Wang Sheng was very satisfied with his current state of Inner Core Skill. It didn’t overtly boost combat power, but its effects were profoundly powerful.
“And after more sessions of cultivation, I’ve found that breaking the limits of Inner Core Skill makes it more convenient to integrate my powers. The combination of the Five Internal Gods and the Spirit World should beco even closer. I’ll see if I can solve so problems.”
Theoretically, the ergence of the Five Internal Gods and the Spirit World was influenced to a certain extent by Inner Core Skill, as the foundational thod.
The existence of Inner Core Skill had caused the derivative terms of Wang Sheng’s other Cultivation Techniques to lean more towards the path of Inner Core Skill.
Therefore, with this limit-breaking of Inner Core Skill, Wang Sheng’s understanding of both his Five Internal Gods and Spirit World deepened.
“Both terms are on the verge of a breakthrough. So let push them the final step.”
Both terms were nearing completion. Wang Sheng planned to attempt crossing that final barrier.
“The Spirit World, with the presence of the Five Internal Gods, possesses the most basic Five Elents, so it can mimic many things to a high degree. Although all of the Five Internal Gods are awakened, they aren’t yet perfected, which ans they haven’t achieved mutual generation and inhibition, so there are still many flaws.”
“What I need to do is redy these flaws as much as possible. Eventually, the Spirit World will perfectly simulate the external world, including its deeper aspects.”
“And the first step is to refine the mutual generation and inhibition of the Five Elents in the Spirit World while also advancing the progress of the Five Internal Organs Containing God.”
Ordinarily, Wang Sheng, despite being proactive, would mainly rely on increntally filling the progress bar for the Five Elents Mutual Generation and Inhibition to be achieved.
But the breakthrough in Inner Core Skill now offered him the potential to actively drive this process.
“But for now… let’s have everyone temporarily exit!”
Next, actions concerning the very essence of the Spirit World would take place, which were unsuitable for outsiders to witness. Hence, Wang Sheng decided to kick everyone out.
“I wonder how they will react?”
Wang Sheng chuckled, knowing how much martial artists now relied on the Spirit World.
However, he still had to say what needed to be said.
So it wasn’t long before those within the Spirit World heard a familiar voice for the first ti in over a year.
[The Spirit World will shortly undergo temporary shutdown. Please exit on your own. Otherwise, you will be forcibly ejected after one stick of incense. Once the shutdown concludes, you can log in at the sa location.]
Martial Artists within the Spirit World were quite surprised. What had happened?
Unfortunately, no one answered them.
The vast majority exited directly, while a few were forcibly kicked out by Wang Sheng.
He required Pure Spiritual Energy, and that was still the case now, but this was insignificant compared to the advancent of the Five Internal Gods and the Spirit World.
People leaving the Spirit World felt lost.
They had grown accustod to cultivating inside it and were now sowhat dependent on it because it was just too convenient.
“Why shut it down all of a sudden? My tasks aren’t done yet. What if it never reopens?” So were quite worried.
“Didn’t the mysterious voice say we could enter again? Just wait!”
Innurable people discussed the closure of the Spirit World, but only Zhu Xiao found Wang Sheng and asked, “What are you planning to do?”
“I’m just going to perfect the Spirit World!”
(The storyline of the Spirit World is nearing its end, soon to move into the next volu.)
