One Step, One Kill

Chapter Six: Pangu's Creation Technique

Since learning the "Mountain-Opening Fist" from the old slave Qi Mo, Lin Yisheng knew that there were four grades of martial arts techniques in this world.

Heaven and earth were dark and yellow!

Yellow level is the lowest, and Heaven level is the highest.

Each grade has three levels: upper, middle, and lower. "Mountain-Opening Fist" belongs to the lower grade of the Yellow rank and is the most basic introductory martial art in the Great Spirit Empire. It is easy to learn for free.

Learning mid-grade and high-grade Yellow-level martial arts is not easy; it's the kind of martial arts that only high-ranking guards of ordinary families or soldiers of the Imperial Army can learn.

As for martial arts of the lower-grade Xuan level and above, they are generally only practiced by direct relatives of large families and are not easily passed on to outsiders, making them difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

According to Qi Mo, the martial art "Shadow Chasing Hand" practiced by Wu Xuli, the head of the Wu family, is a mid-grade Xuan-level martial art, which is already the highest grade martial art in the Wu family. The Wu family does not have a higher grade than that.

As for Earth-level martial arts above the Profound level, it seems that only aristocratic families, the four major sects, the royal family, and the Holy Spirit Cult possess them.

The Golden Venerable of the Holy Spirit Cult is said to cultivate only Earth-level martial arts.

As for the highest-grade Heaven-level martial arts, they are legendary to people of Lin Yisheng's or Qi Mo's level.

Ironically, Lin Yisheng easily obtained this legendary martial art.

After examining Yin Chengdao's "memories," it was discovered that the "Pangu Creation Technique" was a secret manual that Yin Chengdao had obtained ten years ago when he traveled to another empire on the Eastern Spirit Continent, the Great Wu Empire. Since Yin Chengdao himself was a spiritual cultivator, his spiritual cultivation method had reached a critical moment of breakthrough, so he did not focus on cultivating the "Pangu Creation Technique."

However, Yin Chengdao was a man of exceptional knowledge. After browsing through the "Pangu Creation Technique," he determined that this martial arts technique was a high-grade Heaven-level technique, of immense value. Fearing that it might be discovered by someone with ulterior motives and cause trouble, Yin Chengdao destroyed the manual after memorizing its contents.

In other words, if Yin Chengdao hadn't failed in his attempt to "seize" Lin Yisheng's body and instead passed on his "memories," this top-grade Heaven-level martial art might have been lost to history.

Having obtained this top-grade Heaven-level martial art, Lin Yisheng lost interest in the spiritual cultivation techniques in Yin Chengdao's "memory".

Although the legendary spiritual masters are very powerful, they first came into contact with martial arts. Lin Yisheng, who was based on the "Mountain Opening Fist", yearned for martial arts cultivation.

More importantly, in Yin Chengdao's "memory", he, a newly promoted "Great Spirit Master", was far from being a match for Mo Wentian, the Golden Venerable of the Holy Spirit Sect. He lost his spiritual core in just a few moves and died after escaping to the Misty Forest.

This "memory" led Lin Yisheng to underestimate the abilities of spiritual practitioners.

Moreover, the Golden Venerable of the Holy Spirit Cult only practices Earth-level martial arts, which may not even be of high-level quality.

This "Pangu's Creation Technique" is a top-grade Heavenly Rank technique!

If one could cultivate to the highest level, wouldn't one be far more powerful than the Golden Venerable of the Holy Spirit Cult?

With this in mind, Lin Yisheng gave up on continuing to search for Yin Chengdao's "memories" related to spiritual cultivation techniques and decided to stay in the Misty Forest, first successfully cultivate the "Pangu Creation Technique" and then find a way to get out.

The "Pangu Creation Technique" has seven stages, one step at a time. Only after mastering the first stage can one continue to practice the second stage, making the progress clear at a glance.

The first stage of the exercise is called "Pangu Body Refinement," which consists of seven movements. It may seem simple, but it requires a unique breathing technique.

When Lin Yisheng first tried the first movement, he knew that although the movement was simple, it was not easy to practice. It was easy to forget to coordinate breathing while practicing, which would result in low training effect and half the result for twice the effort.

Nevertheless, the results were quite remarkable.

Lin Yisheng spent half an hour practicing the first movement, almost an hour practicing the second movement, and nearly two hours practicing the third movement.

His movements weren't quite practiced yet, and his breathing wasn't perfectly coordinated, but after finishing, Lin Yisheng was pleasantly surprised to find that he had unknowingly made a breakthrough.

Breakthrough from the fifth level of Body Tempering to the seventh level of Body Tempering!

He skipped two grades!

Lin Yisheng guessed that this was probably due to the spiritual energy that Yin Chengdao had transmitted into his body, but he could not deny the fact that the "Pangu Creation Technique" was powerful.

As expected, it is a top-grade Heaven-level technique, hundreds of times more powerful than the "Mountain-Splitting Fist"!

After learning the third movement of "Pangu Body Refining", Lin Yisheng had to stop.

Because he was hungry!

Before being offered as a human sacrifice at the Holy Spirit Temple, Lin Yisheng had a hearty meal. However, after continuous battles and escapes, coupled with nearly three and a half hours of cultivation, his body was completely exhausted, and his stomach naturally began to rumble with hunger.

As soon as he got hungry, Lin Yisheng thought of a very serious problem.

How can I survive in this misty forest?

This misty forest seemed to consist only of trees and perpetual fog; not only were there no wild animals to be seen, but not even flowers or grass.

Without wild animals and flowers, am I supposed to eat tree leaves?

With a worried expression, Lin Yisheng's gaze fell on Yin Chengdao's corpse.

Suddenly, another "memory" belonging to Yin Chengdao popped into his mind, and Lin Yisheng's eyes lit up.

They rushed to Yin Chengdao's body and searched his body, finding a bag about the size of a palm.

This is a spatial bag. It is said that only Earth Spirit Masters who have reached the Spirit Infant Realm can make spatial bags. Although it is small in appearance, it has a huge space inside and can hold and store a lot of things. It is the best magic weapon for home, travel and adventure.

Unlike the legendary spatial rings with added restrictions, the spatial bag can be opened with just a little spiritual energy.

Fortunately, Lin Yisheng had spiritual energy transmitted by Yin Chengdao before his death, so he easily opened the spatial bag.

It contained over a thousand cubic meters of space, demonstrating that Yin Chengdao's spatial bag was no ordinary item, but rather a high-grade one.

Reaching inside, Lin Yisheng pulled out a large piece of dried meat.

This is not ordinary jerky, but jerky made from the thigh meat of the Wind Chaser Deer, a mythical beast with delicious meat.

Although the Wind Chaser Deer is a very common exotic beast in the Eastern Spirit Continent, it runs as fast as the wind and is extremely vigilant. It often runs away at the slightest disturbance, making it difficult for ordinary hunters to catch. Therefore, its meat is very popular in the Eastern Spirit Continent, and it is said that it costs three gold coins to buy a whole deer.

In the Great Spirit Empire, one gold coin is enough for a family of three from a commoner family to eat and drink for a year.

Clearly, Yin Chengdao, this spiritual cultivator, is a wealthy man who knows how to enjoy life and is unwilling to compromise himself, hence the space bag is filled with delicious food.

This is a huge bargain for Lin Yisheng!

After quickly finishing the dried venison, Lin Yisheng reached into his spatial bag, took out a bottle of fine wine he had never tasted before, twisted off the cap, and took a big gulp.
