I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 263: The Breathing Technique That Came to His Doorstep

Near noon, the golden streams of light in the ring shone brightly, dyeing everything in its path golden. Chen Yiming’s consciousness screamed in pain. It felt as if he was an ordinary person being bitten by countless ants. There was no part of his body that didn’t hurt.

He had tried to leave the figure in his mind here to cultivate, and let his consciousness slip back into his main body. However, as soon as he left the figure, the exposed part of his consciousness was burned up by the golden streams of light, and he was so frightened that he quickly retreated into the figure.

“As expected, I still have to rely on the system!”

Chen Yiming sadly realized that the one who could materialize the spiritual power was the figure in his mind. In the face of the power of the natural world, his consciousness was still very weak.

Fortunately, the recovery ability from his Level-2 Undying Body talent was powerful, and it worked just as well on his spiritual power. The parts that had been burned away quickly grew back automatically.

Not long after, just as Chen Yiming was about to faint, the golden vortex above his head and the silver vortex under his feet dissipated.

“It’s finally over!”

Chen Yiming sighed in relief. In a flash, his consciousness was brought back to his body by the figure.

At this moment, the burning feeling had disappeared, and he was in high spirits. His perception had clearly increased, and it was reflected in each of his five senses, such as his vision, hearing, and taste.

“The problem with the breathing technique has been resolved. Next..”

Just as he had this thought, a piece of bad news came from the figure in his mind.

The golden and silver vortexes that seemed to be able to resonate with the natural world were actually built in the special environment of the ring. It could also be said that the breathing technique that the figure in his mind had figured out was incomplete.

Chen Yiming’s expression froze, but he quickly recovered.

......

It was enough for the time being. He could think of a solution later.

He stood up and returned to the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

…

At noon in the middle of summer, the sky was clear and blue. The scorching sun poured down, as if it wanted to purify the earth.

Along the way, Chen Yiming noticed that something was amiss in the wilderness. Almost everyone he met was heading towards the same place and had brought as many supplies as possible.

After roughly confirming their location, Chen Yiming realized that they were not heading towards the base city. This puzzled him and also piqued his interest.

Thinking that it was meaningless to return to the Myriad Phenomena Sect, he specially chose a team of people who did not know each other and approached them.

This group of martial arts practitioners was different from most of the others. They were all traveling light and did not carry much supplies other than their weapons.

Traveling light in the wilderness usually meant that one was strong and had the absolute confidence to hunt mutant beasts at any time.

Of course, Chen Yiming wasn’t rash. He controlled his aura to the same level as the group so that he could interact with them.

Zhang Cheng came from Sanjiang City, the neighboring province. He had just turned 30 this year, but he looked to be 23 or 24 years old. He had graduated from the provincial martial arts school and opened a martial arts school in Sanjiang City. Within a few years, he had risen to fame. He was a warrior who had mastered the transformation of internal force.

The other man and woman in the team were in a similar situation. They were not from Jiangnan province. The three of them knew each other and formed a team, planning to enter the otherworld through the base city in Jiangnan province.

Faced with Chen Yiming’s bold question, Zhang Cheng didn’t hide anything and said, “To be honest, the three of us are from Haojiang province. We heard that the base city in Jiangnan province is operating on a trial basis and are interested in exploring the otherworld.”

Chen Yiming instantly recalled the railway from East Lake City to the base city that was under construction.

In order to make it easier to manage, the starting point for entering the otherworld was set up in the major cities in the province to prevent the base city from being under too much pressure.

“Isn’t there also a stronghold in the otherworld that is being established by Haojiang province?” he asked again.

Zhang Cheng looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. It was the same for the other man and woman. Haojiang province was close to Jiangnan province, but there was already a gap in the levels of the two provinces. Now, there was suddenly a powerful person in Jiangnan province who was equivalent to the master realm.

There was already news in Haojiang province that they might give up on the stronghold that they were building and directly use the base city in Jiangnan province to enter the otherworld.

“With a real big shot in Jiangnan province, we can feel more at ease.”

Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt that the influence of having a martial master was very strong.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation in the Daxia Kingdom, this was very normal. If three or four provinces shared a stronghold from the otherworld, it would be more beneficial for them to gather their forces.

And because of him, Jiangnan province was the first to take the lead, and the influence it created was far from over.

The place where the four of them had stopped for the time being was surrounded by tall pine trees. Pine cones were scattered all over the ground, and from time to time, other teams would pass by.

However, when they saw them, they consciously took a detour.

As they chatted, Chen Yiming suggested that they go to the otherworld together. Zhang Cheng and the other man and woman exchanged glances.

Although they had just met and were not familiar with each other, there was no need to be overly vigilant on the blue planet. If they could not get along, they could just part ways after entering the otherworld.

Soon, Chen Yiming joined the team and headed towards Jiangdu City.

…

In a wooden house in the Myriad Phenomena Sect, on the tea table, a pot of hot tea was steaming.

As the former sect master, Ye Jianyuan had personally welcomed Xie Weilin, who had ascended the mountain. The reason he had lowered his status to do this was naturally to help Chen Yiming to deflect some of the matters.

Even if Xie Weilin was the daughter of the head of the security bureau, she would have to wait obediently for Chen Yiming to return.

“Sect Master Ye, where is Chen Yiming?” Xie Weilin asked anxiously.

She had been brought here by the disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Sect to wait. The moment Ye Jianyuan appeared and not Chen Yiming, she felt that it would be difficult for her to settle the task she had been assigned to do.

Ye Jianyuan was in no hurry. He first took a sip of hot tea and put down the teacup.

“I’ve already resigned from the position of sect master. It’s more appropriate to call me Elder Ye. Sect Master Chen had some inspiration from his cultivation yesterday and is no longer on the mountain. You can tell me what happened, and I’ll help you pass on the message.”

Xie Weilin was dumbfounded when she heard this.

In order to allow his daughter to better grasp the bargaining chip, Xie Jimin had told her part of the insider information from the higher-ups.

The stronghold established in Jiangnan province had yet to meet the operating standards set by the Daxia Kingdom. Of course, if they could get Chen Yiming’s help, it would be no problem at all.

The trial operation of the base city was actually a temporary plan to get it ready earlier. Other than the railway with the nearest city, Jiangdu City, it would still take a lot of time to complete the railway between the base city and the other cities in the province.

The main reason for this was that they were afraid that the neighboring provinces would secretly offer better conditions to attract Chen Yiming away.

Therefore, Xie Weilin had come today with great sincerity.

Ye Jianyuan noticed the change in the other party, so he said in a gentle tone,

“Why don’t you tell me what it is? I’ll discuss it with the court heads of the Myriad Phenomena Sect on behalf of Sect Master Chen. When Sect Master Chen returns, I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible.”

As the sect master of a large sect who had been in power for many years, Ye Jianyuan could easily take the initiative. It was far from what Xie Weilin could deal with.

This was the truth. It seemed like he was helping the other party resolve the problem, but in reality, Xie Weilin was in a dilemma.

However, all the higher-ups in Jiangnan province thought that Chen Yiming had just taken over as the sect master. How could he disappear the next day?

The possibility that they couldn’t find Chen Yiming wasn’t part of the plan Xie Jimin had given his daughter at all.

“Please give me some time.”

With that, Xie Weilin shamelessly ran out of the wooden house.

…

About 10 minutes later, she returned.

Xie Weilin took out a box made of a special material and solemnly placed it on the tea table.

“This is the first half of a breathing technique.”

As she spoke, her breathing quickened, and her heart pounded violently. This thing was too precious, and she could not deal with it calmly.

It had to be known that although this was only half of the breathing technique, but anything related to the master realm was always considered a top secret in a country. How could it be taken out so easily?

Ye Jianyuan looked at the box solemnly.

He had once undergone the test with the help of the martial master guarding the south. He knew that he could not break through to the master realm.

After interacting with many friends at the peak of the warrior realm for many years, he had also learned a small portion of the content regarding breaking through to the master realm.

Choosing a body part to use as a medium to sense the outside world was the easiest stage. Almost no one who could reach the peak of the warrior realm had very low perception.

Therefore, this stage was usually ignored. The difference was everyone’s habits and the risk they were willing to take.

For example, the sensitivity of each part of the body was different. The body parts like the hands and feet would definitely be much less sensitive than the eyes, ears, nose, and tongue.

However, from a risk perspective, if a portion of the hands and feet were injured, the effect on the sense of touch would be limited. However, if the eyes, ears, nose, and tongue were injured, they might lose all their vision, hearing, smell, and taste.

The materialization of spiritual strength was usually the core content of the first half of a breathing technique.

The test that Ye Jianyuan had once undergone was to skip the breathing technique and experience the tempering of one’s spiritual strength with the help of an external force from the master realm.

Therefore, he knew how precious the other half of the breathing technique was. In addition, he knew that Chen Yiming hadn’t really broken through to the master realm, so he couldn’t reject him.

Ye Jianyuan solemnly moved the box in front of him and sighed.

“To me, this half of the breathing technique is a priceless treasure, but to Sect Master Chen…”

He did not finish his sentence, leaving room for retreat.

Xie Weilin understood his meaning and begged with a bitter smile, “The first half of the breathing technique is already the most sincere gift that Jiangnan province can offer. We can discuss the other aspects.”

Ye Jianyuan pretended to be deep in thought.

It seemed that Jiangnan province didn’t really understand Chen Yiming’s situation, to the extent that their judgment had been wrong. As the former sect master, it was his instinct to get as many benefits as possible for the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

“Alright, we’re all from Jiangnan province. I’ll find Sect Master Chen as soon as possible to discuss this matter.”

As Ye Jianyuan spoke, he stuffed the box into his pocket.

Xie Weilin immediately cried tears of joy and kept thanking him.

In her eyes, as well as Xie Jimin’s, if the Myriad Phenomena Sect accepted this half of the breathing technique, at the very least, the overall situation in Jiangnan province would be stabilized. It would not be a problem for them to discuss the other aspects slowly.

After Xie Weilin left, Ye Jianyuan immediately gathered the heads of the 12 inner courts.

The main content of the discussion was about the privileges of the stronghold established by the Myriad Phenomena Sect in Jiangnan province, as well as which location to occupy as the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s base in the otherworld.

…

Outside Jiangdu City, Chen Yiming’s team of four people stopped in their tracks when faced with the queue that was several kilometers long.

Each of the three martial arts experts from Haojiang City had mastered the transformation of their internal force. Naturally, they would not queue up to enter the city like ordinary martial arts practitioners.

At this level, as the main force in the exploration of the otherworld, it was normal for them to have some special privileges.

First, Zhang Cheng contacted an official from the organization in Jiangdu City.

After receiving an agreement, Zhang Cheng took the lead and led the three of them to the soldiers who were checking their identities.

There was a long queue behind them, and there were many people whispering. Previously, many people had cut the queue and entered the city, so everyone already knew the reason for this.

Even if they felt that it was unfair, they could only sigh in their hearts. No matter where one went, strength spoke for itself.

“Please show me your identification.”

Zhang Cheng and the other man and woman had obtained the certificates issued by the provincial office in advance. The soldiers checked the documents once and let them pass.

“Please show me your identification.”

Chen Yiming felt a little awkward. He couldn’t reveal his identity now, could he?

Fortunately, he was quick-witted. A trace of illusory internal force covered his identity card and the eyes of the soldiers. With his current control over his internal force, he could do it without anyone noticing.

Therefore, after the first three people had successfully passed, the soldier subconsciously felt that Chen Yiming should also pass. He imagined the corresponding scene and let him pass.

Just like that, the four of them successfully entered Jiangdu City.

However, what greeted their eyes was a crowd that filled the entire street.

In reality, not everyone wanted to enter the otherworld. There were also a large number of outsiders who wanted to watch and see if they could enter or not.

Therefore, Jiangdu City welcomed an unprecedented crowd. In just half a day, all the streets were completely filled. All the shops selling food were forced to close their doors, and the ingredients they had prepared were all used up in less than an hour.

“This… there are way too many people here!”

Xu Xiurong’s red lips parted slightly as she glared at the crowd.

She was 31 years old and came from a large martial arts clan in Haojiang province. She was also a senior member of a large provincial sect, and had a position similar to the court heads in the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

To ordinary people, she might have reached the age where she should be thinking about marriage, but to those who had the talent to reach the second stage of the warrior realm, this was the age when one had just unleashed most of their potential.

From the age of 10 to 30, it was a process of rapid growth in martial arts. Xu Xiurong had only just started to reach her peak now.

“That’s true. I’ve lived for more than 40 years, but I’ve never seen so many people pouring into a city.”

Yuan Guangzhou could not help but be shocked.

He was the oldest in the team. He had a beard and looked like a middle-aged man.

He spoke very little along the way, but in reality, he was the strongest person among the three of them. As the big boss behind a pharmaceutical giant in Haojiang province, he was not lacking in skills or strength.

Chen Yiming’s expression remained the same, but his heart was racing.

There were so many martial arts practitioners gathered in Jiangdu City, and there was still a long line outside the city. There were also people rushing over from the wilderness. It could be seen that this was no longer just a matter that involved Jiangnan province.

It would not be an exaggeration to expand the scope to four or five provinces around the country. In the end, it might gather about 10% of the martial arts power of the Daxia Kingdom below the peak of the warrior realm.

This was because, at the moment, other than Jiangnan province, no other provincial base city had started to operate and allow the civilian martial arts factions to enter the stronghold of the otherworld.

In fact, his guess was considered conservative. If the other provinces could not keep up with Jiangnan province in the short term, more martial arts practitioners would gather here.

Usually, people would follow the crowd, and martial arts practitioners were no exception. The more people there were in a stronghold in the otherworld, the more people there were to share the risk.

Humans tended to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In addition, Chen Yiming’s faction was in Jiangnan province. This way, more and more martial arts practitioners from the surrounding provinces would flock to Jiangnan province.
