Stronger by Killing

...

At this moment, the system displayed a prompt:

[Switch to Same Realm Cultivation?]

...

[Use 1 billion Experience Points]

[Switch to Same Realm Vast Spell Cultivation]

[Switch successful]

[Vast Spell cultivated to the twelfth level]

[Current Realm is Nirvana Seventh Realm]

...

At the moment of successful switching,

Gu Zhan sensed a change in the divine power within his body. Previously, Chang Chun Skill was a rather violent force, whereas now, the Vast Spell was a kind of energy filled with righteousness and grandeur, with a much higher affinity with Heaven and Earth, and its purity had significantly improved.

Feeling the power of the Vast Righteous Qi, Gu Zhan didn’t linger further. After all, system switch cultivation was smooth and without any adaptation issues, as if he had been cultivating the Vast Spell from the very beginning.

Immediately,

Gu Zhan began to review other secret manuals.

This time, the number of secret manuals obtained was substantial, and the grades were not low. There were several forbidden techniques too, but they held little significance for Gu Zhan. Finally, he found a forbidden technique of high tier, sent by Master Xuan Yang, called Shrinking Inches, a Stealth Technique capable of crossing thousands of miles in a single step when mastered.

Gu Zhan then summoned the system to analyze this forbidden technique:

Magic: Shrinking Inches

Grade: High Tier Forbidden Technique

Can be converted into Martial Skill

...

Gu Zhan did not hesitate and chose to convert it immediately:

[Use 30 billion Experience Points]

[Shrinking Inches successfully evolved into Martial Arts Technique]

Distances Vanished: A space-type martial technique, an enigmatic escape technique that teleports thousands of miles away instantly.

...

Gu Zhan smiled slightly,

This forbidden technique’s grade was high, and its means were quite obvious,

With his current cultivation in the Cultivation Realm, he was considered strong, easily handling the cultivators emerging during the Spiritual Qi Revival. However, his methods were too simple, no problem for ordinary cultivators, but if he encountered those old monsters, living for thousands of years with various bizarre techniques, he might suffer. This Distances Vanished technique could definitely be considered a trump card.

However, glancing at his remaining Experience Points, he smiled wryly and whispered, "Looks like I’ll need to kill a few more people!"

Next, he started searching through the pile of items,

And when he saw the array maps sent by Changmingzi, he made two delightful discoveries.

He was not unfamiliar with array maps,

Not to mention the Cultivation Realm, even in the Martial Arts World, there were many formations, like the Beidou Bang’s Five Elements Water Array. Back then, Dragon King Mo Jingzhou used the Five Elements Water Array in Canglan City to become one of the top five Supreme Grandmasters of Yunzhou, even regarded cautiously by Wei Wuya.

Lately, with Immortal Sects descending, Gu Zhan also acquired many array maps. However, these maps held little practical significance, relying on spiritual qi circulation and serving to assist specific cultivation techniques or magic.

The maps from Changmingzi were mostly for gathering spiritual qi or aiding certain cultivation techniques or magic cultivation.

Only two array maps made Gu Zhan’s eyes light up.

Not because they were particularly special, the functions of the arrays were—one gathered spiritual qi to enhance battle power for cultivation technique users by aligning with surrounding great forces, the other allowed individuals cultivating the same technique to form a Combined Attack Formation.

These types of formations were common in the Cultivation Realm,

Yet, through the system’s simulation, unforeseeable effects emerged.

[Use 10 billion Experience Points]

[Successfully simulated Martial Arts Array]

God-Trapping Array: A grand array using the great forces of Heaven and Earth, utilizing runes as a medium, shielding Heaven’s rules to suppress a cultivator’s cultivation without limit.

...

Through the system’s detailed notes,

Gu Zhan understood the God-Trapping Array’s function, which involved carving array maps in a specific way, building grand structures like cities, casting and etching unique runes in special paths to create a grand array.

The medium of the grand array was this runic power.

Through the array, it could alter the heaven-and-earth rules within its covered range to suppress cultivators’ cultivation. In other words, indiscriminately suppressing, even a Golden Core Cultivator entering the city would find their techniques tightly restrained.

However, this suppression,

Was akin to turning a city into a small world with different rules: no spiritual qi, no Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Whether martial artists or cultivators, profound techniques were restrained.

However, there was a distinction:

In worldly cultivation, only martial artists cultivate vital energy and blood,

Both suppressed, martial artists could still rely on their strong bodies for power, making cultivators vulnerable against martial arts experts, while military heavy weapons’ power would be greatly magnified.

Watching the system’s explanation, a faint smile slowly appeared on Gu Zhan’s face:

"The ace against the Cultivation Realm for martial arts is emerging!"

While speaking,

Gu Zhan turned to look at the second array map,

"This grand array is a nightmare for cultivators!"
