I Become Invincible After the Fairy’s Embrace - Chapter 7:

Chapter 7: Defying Heaven, Stepping Into the Ultimate Realm in Moments!

Qin Yun arrived at the Battle Technique Pavilion. 

The Fourth Elder on duty looked surprised and asked, “Young Master, what brings you here?”

Qin Yun replied calmly, “I was wandering around and happened to pass by, so I thought I’d take a look.” He made up the reason to avoid the Fourth Elder worrying and blocking him from entering.

The Fourth Elder advised, “The Ten Sect Assembly is the day after tomorrow. Disciples from every sect will gather near Luo City. Young Master, don’t go out tomorrow. When the assembly begins, follow us to observe it.” 

He was afraid Qin Yun would sneak out again and be targeted by someone with malicious intent. 

The last time Qin Yun disappeared, the entire Heavenly Mystic Sect had been thrown into chaos, and if Qin Yun hadn’t returned in time, they would have dispatched everyone to search for him.

Qin Yun answered quickly, “Fourth Elder, don’t worry. I won’t go out before the assembly begins.”

The Fourth Elder finally relaxed and nodded. Qin Yun then said, “Fourth Elder, I’m bored and want to take a look at some battle techniques.”

The Fourth Elder replied, “Young Master, feel free to browse, but you must not secretly cultivate anything. The power of these techniques is great, and your current cultivation level cannot handle them. You may injure your meridians.” After the reminder, he allowed Qin Yun to enter.

The Battle Technique Pavilion had two floors. The first floor was for disciples, and the second floor was restricted to elders only. Qin Yun had no such restriction and went straight to the second floor. Only thirty-two battle techniques were stored here, all of them Profound grade. Battle techniques were divided into six grades: Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Saint, and Divine. Yellow-grade was the lowest; Divine-grade stood at the peak.

Within the top ten sects of Luo City, Profound-grade battle techniques were extremely precious. They were never casually handed out unless the disciple had made immense contributions or possessed exceptional potential.

Qin Yun frowned slightly as he examined the techniques. There were all kinds of techniques, yet he didn’t know which suited him best.

The silver-haired woman’s cold voice suddenly sounded, “Choose Windstep and Tyrant Sword Slash. Everything else is garbage.”

“Garbage…” Qin Yun’s mouth twitched slightly. But considering her mysterious identity and her ability to turn stars and moon into clothing, it made sense that Profound-grade techniques wouldn’t catch her eye.

Qin Yun picked up Windstep and Tyrant Sword Slash. He asked, “Senior, these two should be pretty strong, right?” Anything the silver-haired woman chose should definitely not be weak.

She replied indifferently, “They are still garbage. But compared to the other garbage, they are slightly better.”

Qin Yun let out a helpless smile. He thought she had found some hidden supreme technique or ancient treasure, but she had merely picked the slightly taller one among dwarfs.

The silver-haired woman said coldly, “Although you possess the Swallowing Heaven Divine Veins, you have not grown yet. No matter how strong you become, you must learn how to survive. Windstep doesn’t have much offensive power, but it greatly increases your speed and can save your life at critical moments.”

Qin Yun nodded in realization.

He then asked, “Senior, what about Tyrant Sword Slash?”

“The power of Tyrant Sword Slash is the strongest among all techniques here. When released, its strength is tyrannical and overwhelming. But its flaw is also obvious—it requires extremely resilient meridians. If your meridians lack toughness, long-term use will damage them, even causing them to rupture.”

She added, “But since you possess the Swallowing Heaven Divine Veins, you don’t need to worry about this.”

Qin Yun finally understood why she chose one movement technique and one offensive technique—they complemented each other perfectly.

He frowned and looked at the two techniques. “Senior, learning both at once will take me quite some time…”

“You don’t need a long time. A moment is enough,” the silver-haired woman said calmly.

“A moment?” Qin Yun was puzzled.

“Just cultivate one first. You’ll understand.”

Qin Yun opened Windstep. In the past, when he read it out of boredom, he had been overwhelmed by the obscure true qi circulation diagrams and ended up with a headache. But now, as he flipped it open again, he froze.

It wasn’t difficult.

It was simple.

Extremely simple.

At first glance, he understood everything. Not only that—he memorized the entire true qi circulation diagram instantly, imprinting it deeply into his sea of consciousness.

How could this be?

Qin Yun was shocked. He tried circulating true qi according to the diagram.

Windstep.

A breeze rose beneath his feet, and his body instantly shot one meter forward.

He had learned it…

He had actually mastered Windstep after a single glance and one attempt. This was a Profound-grade battle technique. Qin Yun had seen the sect’s senior brother train a similar technique; it had taken him three full years to master it, and he was known as the most gifted disciple in the entire sect.

The silver-haired woman instructed, “Continue cultivating. Don’t stop.”

Qin Yun obeyed and began performing Windstep repeatedly. On the second attempt, he clearly felt more proficient, and his true qi consumption decreased significantly.

After a short while, his speed increased rapidly. Suddenly, a strange enlightenment surged within him. He took a single step forward and crossed ten meters, a layer of wind visibly swirling around him.

He felt Windstep undergoing a dramatic transformation.

“Senior, what’s happening?”

“You have cultivated Windstep from beginner to minor mastery, then to major mastery, and now you have surpassed major mastery and entered the ultimate realm.”

She explained, “The Windstep you now possess is equivalent to a pseudo–Earth-grade battle technique.”

“Ultimate realm… pseudo–Earth-grade…” Qin Yun was shocked. The ultimate realm represented the pinnacle of a technique. Cultivating a technique to major mastery already unleashed its full potential, yet above major mastery was the ultimate realm, where the power could increase more than twofold.

But techniques were extremely difficult to cultivate to major mastery—let alone to the ultimate realm.

Qin Yun knew he could never have done this before. It had to be the Swallowing Heaven Divine Veins. But to advance from beginner level to the ultimate realm in one go… this ability was truly defying heaven.

The silver-haired woman said, “The Swallowing Heaven Divine Veins you possess are the strongest meridians in the world. Profound-grade techniques mean nothing. Even if it were Saint-grade or Divine-grade, you could master them quickly.”

“Even Divine-grade in a moment?” Qin Yun’s breathing quickened.

“Of course.”

Qin Yun grew excited. If he could obtain a Divine-grade technique, he could unleash its terrifying power instantly. Though finding one wouldn’t be easy, he wasn’t worried—he could take his time.

He asked, “Senior, you once said the Swallowing Heaven Divine Veins are part of the Swallowing Heaven Divine Physique. What are the other parts?”

“You won’t benefit from knowing now. Your cultivation level is too low to restore the power of the Primordial God-Sealing Hall. Once you reach the level required to open the hall, you can restore its power and reshape the remaining parts. Don’t ask more—I won’t answer.”

Seeing she refused to speak further, Qin Yun stopped asking.

He then continued cultivating Tyrant Sword Slash…
