Skyword Records- Sheng Zhen's Cultivation Arts (Interlude)

Sheng Zhen, a reincarnate who aimed to become the greatest cultivator ever, always knew how difficult the task actually was.

No one had ever seen the peak of the cultivation. Neither Realm Kings, not Divine beasts, and not even the Primordial who created the universe at Genisis.

From the moment he set his goal, he scoured the Skyword for the greatest physiques, cultivation arts, martial skills, heavenly sutras, ever put into writing.

It was only after years of scouring through Heavenly and Divine level cultivation techniques Sheng Zhen settled on the ones he is practicing at the moment.

.

'Bastardized' Eternal Sutra-

As the name suggests, the bastardized version of Eternal Scripture, one of the seven Genisis Scriptures. Created by a mysterious woman named Magu based on her understanding of Eternal scripture, it is the only piece of Genisis scriptures he had been able to get hold of.

Representing the cosmic concept of Eternity, and in turn Immortality, the goal of every cultivator, it is a technique that is unmatched in the purity of essence Qi. Cultivators of this technique advance at an unprecedented rate while experiencing no bottleneck.

Magu, its creator claimed when cultivating it, the cultivator is being constantly being pushed towards the state of Eternity (Immortality), which means Sheng Zhen is always advancing in his cultivation level all the time without even actively trying to cultivate.

So much so that when he reached the peak of Foundation establishment, he had to partially seal his cultivation so he did not accidentally advance into the False Core realm without taking the Five Elements Pill.

.

Celestial Manual-

One of the Heavenly Ranked Essence Cultivation Manuals of Sheng Clan, Celestial Manual is a unique cultivation manual that uses the Essence Qi of Heavenly Bodies to cultivate. During the day, the sun's essence cultivates Yang, in the night, the Essence Qi riding along the rays of Moon and Stars supplements Yin.

A simple yet incomparably powerful art, Celestial manual refines the cultivator's Qi to a degree that it could contain the power of Heavenly Bodies. On completion, every grain of practitioner's Qi would have power comparable to that of the sun and stars.

.

Realm Apotheosis Art-

Apotheosis, the evolution to the peak, the elevation to a divine status. This is enough to summarise the Realm Apotheosis Art.

It is one of the most difficult arts to cultivate in the entire cosmos, so much so that without the terrifyingly fast cultivation speed granted by Eternal Sutra, Sheng Zhen would not have dared to think of cultivating it.

This art mimics the process of Heavenly event Realm Ascension, the elevation of the low ranked realm to high ranked realm. The body is the realm and every cell, essence, and soul that makes up this realm undergoes a slow but relentless evolution.

Because it was so difficult, no one ever completed cultivating it to the end, not even its creator but even that made its creator strong enough to slaughter Realms Kings and roam the cosmos unhindered.

.

Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Technique-

A Body Forging technique of highest order, it is a demonic technique created by the Human race during the First Era just after Genisis. During that time titanic beasts with incomparably powerful bodies roamed the worlds and oppressed humans and other humanoid races, who were not born with a powerful body.

This technique was made out of sheer spite, a rough, unrefined technique that was meant to steal one thing the beasts were so proud of, their physical strength. Using the blood of the beasts as a medium, the blood of a slain beast was used to steal their strength.

As time went on, the technique was refined, allowing its user to not just steal the physical strength of beasts, but also their affinity, attributes, even heritage techniques while simultaneously using demonic Qi to refine the body.

But despite being such a strong technique, it has its drawbacks. Every now beast whose strength is absorbed, new beast blood cannot be absorbed till the last one's strength is mastered. But if the cultivator fails to do so, the beast takes over, annihilating the cultivator's consciousness.

Because of that, the number of cultivators who had cultivated ten thousand beasts technique to completion since genesis could be counted on one hand.
