After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

After entering the attic, you followed Shi Ying and explored from the first floor to the fifth floor.

[Besides some common body cultivation techniques, there are also some secret techniques from the Tianheng Sect, but they won't be of much use to you.]

The attic wasn't as spacious and well-equipped as I'd imagined; instead, it exuded an air of poverty and shabbiness. No wonder it belonged to a body cultivator who could sit at the same table as sword cultivators.

After reviewing another worthless jade slip, you suddenly turned and walked down the stairs.

Shi Ying paused for a moment.

"Where are you going? Didn't we already check downstairs?"

You didn't answer, but went straight to a corner of the lobby on the first floor, squatted down, and brushed away a thick layer of dust from the floor tiles with your fingertips.

Beneath the dust, the outline of a hidden door is faintly visible.

The entrance to this basement level wasn't particularly well-hidden; it had simply been obscured by dust due to long-term neglect.

You raise your hand and place it on the hidden door, applying slight pressure with your palm.

[Click!]

With a very soft, crisp sound, the hidden door slowly opened, revealing a deep, dark stone staircase.

Ignoring Shi Ying's shocked gaze, you stepped down. You encountered no traps or defenses, and after about twenty steps, you reached the end.

Before us was a small stone chamber, with three dusty jade slips resting on a stone platform in the center.

【"This is..."】

Shi Ying strode over to the stone platform, took out a jade slip, and probed it with her divine sense.

Seeing that no restrictions had been triggered, you stepped forward with relief, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the oldest-looking jade slip.

The moment your divine sense probed in, your expression changed drastically, followed by undisguised ecstasy.

[Combat Technique!]

The other two jade slips contained records of long-lost combat techniques.

Qi-refining cultivators possess magical techniques, while body-refining cultivators naturally have their own combat methods, namely combat skills.

However, body tempering is inherently much more difficult than qi cultivation, and the conditions for practicing combat techniques are even more demanding.

[Because practicing combat techniques has a fatal drawback: it requires a large amount of vital energy, which severely slows down the progress of body tempering, and even makes daily cultivation extremely difficult.]

Therefore, in this cultivation environment where rare spiritual herbs are scarce for millennia, body-refining cultivators can only focus their energy on their own cultivation and the development of their innate talents, while combat skills have gradually been neglected.

That makes sense, but these limitations don't seem to be a big problem for someone who owns a simulator.

On the other side, Shi Ying finished reading the jade slip and casually tossed it onto the stone platform.

This scene made your eyelids twitch; the little girl seems to be asking for trouble.

"Little Nuan, you don't actually want to learn combat techniques, do you?"

Seeing you staring at her with an unfriendly expression, Shi Ying's expression changed slightly. She hurriedly tried to explain the drawbacks of the combat technique, but was interrupted by the jade slip you tossed back.

"Don't be so skeptical. My father also studied combat techniques for a while, wasting a hundred years of his life, and ultimately had no choice but to give up."

[After investigating, she knew you understood, but seeing that you still picked up the jade slip she had thrown back, she quickly advised you:]

"The Tianheng Sect has never lacked geniuses in the art of body refinement, yet none have ever truly mastered it."

You neither confirmed nor denied this.

[Even the fastest body-refining prodigies can cultivate, they can't possibly have as much time as you, especially since you possess a cultivation cheat device like the Blood Qi Gu.]

Although the Gu worm's effectiveness diminished after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, it was still far beyond what ordinary body cultivators could achieve.

[Furthermore, your inherent foundation is several times stronger than that of ordinary body cultivators, so you're definitely going to master this combat technique.]

[After probing the jade slip with divine sense, a surge of information rapidly flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness, and countless images flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.]

A figure traversed the vast, desolate land, stepping through the air.

The figure's movements were not fast, even slow, but the distance covered by each step far exceeded the speed of an ordinary cultivator traveling at full speed.

With each step, a visible shockwave exploded in the void, followed by cracks in the ground beneath their feet and the collapse of mountains.

【Stepping into the Heavens!】

[As expected of the ultimate combat method for body cultivators, the name is truly imposing.]

You slowly opened your eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. Under Shi Ying's hesitant gaze, you quickly picked up the second jade slip.

[A moment later, the surprise in your eyes could no longer be contained; this second combat skill was actually a halberd technique.]

[Titled "Shattered Moon Amidst Surging Waves," its halberd strikes like surging waves, shattering the moon invisibly, a perfect blend of strength and gentleness.]

【Okay, okay!】

[Since obtaining the Broken Abyss, aside from some aimless dancing and overwhelming others with brute force, you haven't been able to unleash the full power of this Nascent Soul stage cultivator's natal magic weapon.]

If you can master this combat skill, your combat strength will experience a qualitative leap.

You take a deep breath, suppressing your turbulent emotions.

[You still harbor resentment over the Bloodstained Blade incident; after all, being defeated by someone of the same level is hardly something to be proud of.]

Now, you've finally found the confidence to contend with those unparalleled geniuses.

【...】

[In the following days, you didn't rush into cultivation. Instead, taking advantage of your status as a direct disciple, you immersed yourself in the sect's true cultivation manual pavilion, thoroughly reading all the available texts.]

Although you didn't find a third combat skill, it gave you a deeper understanding of body cultivation.

[This is a habit of yours; whenever you visit a sect, you always make sure to read through all the books available for borrowing in the cultivation technique pavilion.]

Because you know all too well that your foundation is vastly different from those old monsters. Becoming a prodigy isn't difficult, but becoming a true powerhouse requires much more than just fast cultivation speed.

Furthermore, one must possess the skills and knowledge to face various perilous situations.

Interestingly, Lei Qianyue, that simpleton, also comes to the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion every single day without fail.

[But she didn't interact with you at all, just sat at a distance, occasionally stealing a glance in your direction, and then offering a puff of pink mist.]

This child is probably beyond saving.

You silently complained to yourself, but didn't think about driving them away; after all, why not take advantage of free pink mist?

[You were only dragged out of the cultivation technique pavilion by Shi Ying when the day to depart for the secret realm arrived.]

[You did not depart from the main gate of the Tianheng Sect, nor did you register; instead, you secretly slipped out through a secret passage within the sect.]

[This group consists of only you, Shi Ying, and her father.]

You glanced at the dim, lifeless night, a thought flickering in your mind. It seemed this journey to the secret realm wasn't as simple as you'd imagined...
