The System bullet comments ceased, and Li Xuanxiao withdrew the outdated 'Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal'.
[Successfully retrieved Xuan Realm Martial Art Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal, returning 1000 Demon value Points!]
The new Mystic Realm Martial Art 'Great Thousand Reflection' was a comprehensive upgrade of 'Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal'.
Li Xuanxiao immediately began upgrading this new Mystic Realm Martial Art.
[Consuming 3000 Demon value Points, Great Thousand Reflection has reached first glimpse!]
[Consuming 8000 Demon value Points, Great Thousand Reflection has stepped into Minor Achievement Realm!]
[Consuming 20000 Demon value Points, Great Thousand Reflection has stepped into Major Achievement Realm!]
[Consuming 50000 Demon value Points, Great Thousand Reflection has stepped into Perfection Realm!]
[Consuming 100000 Demon value Points, Great Thousand Reflection has reached Transcendent Realm!]
Consuming 181000 Demon value Points, this Martial Art was completed in an instant.
Li Xuanxiao only felt refreshed; he had never felt so dominating!
Countless streams of information rushed through his mind, then internalized into instinct.
Compared to 'Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal', the attack pattern of 'Great Thousand Reflection' had a difference.
It no longer required condensing a golden palm print to attack the enemy; instead, it directly emitted Buddha light through the golden rays from his eyes.
This was not only faster and covered a larger area, but it was also much harder to defend against.
This Cultivation Technique also enhanced its auxiliary ability, allowing him to slow down others' movements even more, and his perception of weaknesses became sharper.
Then, a new ability was added—Seeing Through Illusions!
Ordinary deceptive techniques, illusions, and Restrictions could all be seen through.
This was a qualitative leap!
Li Xuanxiao was very satisfied; the Mystic Realm level was still quite useful for the time being.
After all, whether for Martial Artists or Demons, there was usually a lag in cultivating Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts.
Those who could cultivate Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, and Demonic Techniques corresponding to their current Realm were the top-tier figures among humans and Demons.
Those who could achieve something close to Li Xuanxiao—cultivating Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques one level below their own Realm—were already considered the elite among humans and Demons.
Having tasted the benefits of deduction, Li Xuanxiao's gaze turned to the last Xuan Realm Martial Art, 'Dharma Breaking Qi Extinguishing Slash'.
Since the Demon value Points was still abundant, why not let him indulge completely this time!
Continue the deduction!
[You stirred your True Essence, and a layer of blue fluorescence appeared...]
[Demon value Points - 10000]
[Demon value Points - 10000]
[Demon value Points - 10000]
[Demon value Points - 10000]
Another sequence of light screens flashed by.
[...Comprehended a brand new Cultivation Technique, which you call 'Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash'!]
[Deduction successful!]
[Remaining Demon value Points: 380000]
Repeating the old trick: Recycle and upgrade in one go.
[Successfully retrieved Xuan Realm Martial Art Dharma Breaking Qi Extinguishing Slash, returning 1000 Demon value Points!]
[Consuming 3000 Demon value Points, Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash has reached first glimpse!]
[Consuming 8000 Demon value Points, Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash has stepped into Minor Achievement Realm!]
[Consuming 20000 Demon value Points, Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash has stepped into Major Achievement Realm!]
[Consuming 50000 Demon value Points, Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash has stepped into Perfection Realm!]
[Consuming 100000 Demon value Points, Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash has reached Transcendent Realm!]
Another 181000 was consumed, bringing Li Xuanxiao's Demon value Points down to 200000.
He opened the System panel again:
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Origin Realm Sixth Layer]
[Cultivation Techniques:
Origin - Origin Tracing Martial Art (Major Achievement), Mahayana Origin Scripture (Major Achievement)]
[Martial Arts:
Origin - Zen Sea Thunder Sound (Major Achievement)
Mystic - Mirage Shadow Blade (Minor Achievement), Star Falling Shadow Chasing Blade (Transcendent), Universal Salvation (Transcendent), Star-Chasing Moon-Pursuing (Transcendent), Myriad Moon Shadows (Transcendent), Great Thousand Reflection (Transcendent), Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash (Transcendent)]
[Demon value Points: 200000]
Now, his Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques started at the Mystic Realm at the lowest.
Furthermore, except for 'Mirage Shadow Blade', all Mystic Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts had reached the Transcendent Realm.
The reason for not upgrading 'Mirage Shadow Blade' was that as a blade technique, it overlapped somewhat with 'Starfall Chasing Shadow Blade'.
'Starfall Chasing Shadow Blade' had very strong applicability; it could display considerable advantages in both group attacks and single-target attacks.
Therefore, there was no need to upgrade 'Mirage Shadow Blade'.
From 2310000 down to 200000, a total consumption of 2110000.
In exchange, his Realm advanced two layers, and his Martial Arts were comprehensively upgraded.
Whether it was True Essence reserves or the actual combat power he could exert, both had increased significantly!
Li Xuanxiao was now absolutely certain that among the Martial Artists of the Dayu, Tianxuan, and Qingluan Three Kingdoms, he was unquestionably the number one!
No one is stronger than me!
Everything settled, Li Xuanxiao exited the System and turned to nod at the two Origin Realm Martial Artists.
He returned directly to the front line camp, hiding his merit and fame deep.
He left the two Origin Realm Martial Artists standing bewildered in the wind amidst the piles of Demon corpses.
...
Back in the Deputy General's tent, Li Xuanxiao began to seize time to recover his True Essence.
If every single Demon Army only had two Demon Venerables, then he could simply push straight through!
Previously, he was confident in fighting five enemies at once; now, with his strength significantly improved, Li Xuanxiao had become even more inflated.
"I want to fight ten!"
One Demon Army could provide a million Demon value Points; what about the other four Demon Armies?
He dared not imagine, dared not imagine!
Li Xuanxiao's mouth was almost splitting into a grin; he just wanted to recover his True Essence quickly so he could rush to support other passes.
However...
Was this performance by the Myriad Demon Nation too weak?
Five Demon Armies, and each only had two or three Origin Realm Demon Venerables?
That was only about ten in total, less than the Dayu!
Li Xuanxiao circulated his Cultivation Technique to recover his True Essence while thinking.
He had a suspicion that these five Demon Armies were likely just a vanguard force.
The real main force was probably still behind them!
If it weren't for his existence as a BUG-like anomaly, the Pei Prefecture Martial Army would probably still be locked in a war of attrition with the Demons.
The casualties among the Martial Artists below would also not have been as light as they were now.
The three waves of Demon attacks, plus one surprise attack, would have been enough to cause heavy losses to the Pei Prefecture Martial Army!
The reason this Pei Prefecture Demon Army retreated so quickly was mainly due to his existence.
But the other passes did not have a powerhouse like him!
At this moment, the Martial Armies at the other passes were likely engaged in fierce battles with the Demon Armies.
Moreover, based on the combat power displayed by White Crane and Peacock, they were basically just one tier below his current Origin Realm Fourth Layer self.
If he didn't possess Origin Realm Buddhist Dharma, defeating them would definitely have required considerable effort!
The Origin Realm Martial Artists at the other passes were not as fierce as him.
If the highest commanders of the other few Demon Armies were also Demon Generals at the level of White Crane and Peacock, then they would likely fall into a disadvantage!
Thinking this way, a sense of urgency welled up in Li Xuanxiao's heart.
Whether it was for harvesting Demon value Points, defending the Dayu, or preparing for the main Demon force that had yet to arrive, he needed to support the other passes as soon as possible to reduce his side's losses and enhance his own strength.
His current strength might be formidable, but the Myriad Demon Nation's vanguard force alone contained Demons at the Origin Realm Third Layer level.
If the main commanders were present, they would at least be at the Origin Realm Seventh Layer!
"I cannot relax. After recovering my True Essence as soon as possible, I must go support the other passes!"
Having made up his mind, Li Xuanxiao accelerated the circulation of his Cultivation Technique to restore his True Essence.
