LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 540: The Ultimate Art Revealed_1
```
Along with Gu Chen's seclusion this time, three days and three nights quickly passed.
On this day, within the secret chamber of Jing Tian Department's headquarters, Gu Chen, who had been sitting still for three days and nights without any movement, suddenly opened his eyes and took a long breath.
"It's indeed difficult to deduce an ancient technique," Gu Chen sighed.
At this moment, the spirit crystals that were piled up like a mountain in front of him had all disappeared, absorbed by Gu Chen and transformed into power points on the panel. The number was so astronomical that it had made even Gu Chen himself blink in surprise initially, and he was still feeling the aftereffects.
It was really an astronomical number, and if it had been up to Gu Chen to slay demons and spirits himself, he wouldn't know how long it would take.
Of course, that's assuming there were that many demons and spirits for him to hunt.
After all, this was the accumulation of sixty percent of the Jing Tian Department of Da Xia over more than three hundred years, which could be considered extremely astonishing.
During these three days and nights, apart from absorbing spirit crystals, Gu Chen had been enhancing his martial arts and deducing ancient techniques. His mind was always filled with various experiences of Heavenly Martial Skills, which were enormous and intricate. The intensity of such deductions, even for Gu Chen, who had reached the Divine Intent Realm, was slightly uncomfortable for the mind.
Of course, the process was not easy, but Gu Chen knew that the final result would certainly be pleasing, and he also greatly enjoyed this improvement process.
"Continue." After taking a moment to recover, Gu Chen closed his eyes again, called up the panel, and began to wholeheartedly deduce once more.
As the deduction continued, the massive number of power points on the panel decreased continuously, and time passed by little by little.
After some time, on this day, suddenly, Gu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, shuddered, and terrifying sounds like tsunamis came from within his body. His body shone brightly, and it seemed as though flames were burning inside every pore of his skin.
It was the surge of his powerful cultivation coursing through his limbs and bones!
With a hum, the Holy Domain manifested in the nick of time, enveloping all the forces without letting them disperse even the slightest, perfectly concealed upon Gu Chen's body surface.
"Finally... success!" As the power points returned to zero, Gu Chen opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
At this moment, he felt in an unprecedentedly good condition, reaching a pinnacle in his life!
Looking at the outcomes this time, with various martial arts techniques and cultivation levels on the panel, even the tranquility of Gu Chen's mind was unavoidably stirred.
"It's just a pity that the Heavenly Human Realm is indeed very difficult, and it cannot be achieved in a short time," Gu Chen frowned slightly. After this enhancement, he vaguely felt a certain suppression.
This was pressure coming from the ceiling of Jiuzhou.
Due to the invasion of demons, the world here was broken, and the rules incomplete, thus unable to give birth to martial artists of the Heavenly Human Realm; the ceiling pressed down, making the Divine Intent Realm the highest achievement that a martial artist in Jiuzhou could attain or bear.
In other words, Gu Chen's current martial arts cultivation was basically the peak of Jiuzhou, with no way forward, restricted by this great world of Jiuzhou.
Therefore, he had just expressed that sigh, for even using the previously massive amount of power points to enhance his cultivation, he still found it difficult to break through.
At this moment, Gu Chen could not hide the joy in his heart, his eyes slightly drooping as a thought brought out the thoroughly updated panel.
Name: Gu Chen
Martial Skills: Great Sun Golden Body (Minor Success), Nine Dragons Skill (Minor Success), Heaven Snatching Earth Seizing Method (Minor Success), Astounding Imperial Dragon Fist (Minor Success), Intention Sword Skill (Minor Success), Quick as Light and Shadow (Minor Success), Heavenly Human Gazing Skill (Minor Success)
Inner Force: Nine Yang Heavenly Skill
Cultivation: 4,400 years
Realm: Mid Divine Intent Realm
Power Points: 0
After this period of seclusion, at this moment, Gu Chen's panel, compared to before, has undergone a thorough and drastic change that turned everything on its head!
All seven martial skills listed on the panel were ancient techniques, and all of them had reached minor success!
To reach this step, it could be said that Gu Chen had spent most of the power points he gained this time.
Even the internal force, after several deductions and fusions, had likewise yielded an ancient-level internal force technique for Gu Chen!
At this moment, besides the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill which was a gift from the Tower Supervisor before the seclusion, the rest of the eight ancient techniques on the panel were all a result of the deductions made using countless power points.
Furthermore, Gu Chen's cultivation had also greatly improved, from the previous 2,200 years to now 4,400 years, doubling exactly!
"Fortunately, the conversion ratio of power points to cultivation is still two to one; otherwise, I simply couldn't have deduced these ancient techniques," Gu Chen sighed lightly.
The effort of the entire nation, spending sixty percent of Da Xia's reserves, was required to achieve this step, indicating how difficult ancient techniques are.
It's no wonder that after endless ages in Jiuzhou, there are only so few ancient techniques in the world. Even with Gu Chen's panel that allows for infinite deductions, he still felt the difficulty, let alone others.
The reason Gu Chen hadn't chosen to elevate his cultivation directly to the Great Perfection of the Divine Intent Realm was also based on his own considerations.
After reaching the Divine Intent Realm, he had only two opponents left, the Holy Lands and the demon sect leader Dugu Yun, the former housing divine intent realm martial artists who were no doubt masters of ancient techniques, and the latter, needless to say about ancient techniques, his true body was even beyond demons, a devil containing all sorts of terrifying and arcane methods, deserving of even more caution.
