Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 7: Heavenly Cycle Stellar Force

Under the guidance of scientific theory, how many steps are involved in creating a cultivation technique?

The answer is four steps.

The first step is to determine the quantity and distribution of muscles in the human body.

The second step is to practice extensively and match each divine form technique with the corresponding trained muscles, commonly known as feeding data.

The third step is to select the optimal training plan for each muscle based on the data.

The fourth step is to integrate all the optimal solutions.

Yang Ning had already figured out the first step before he started his cultivation. He spent two days demonstrating the Twelve Divine Forms for the third and fourth steps.

The third and fourth steps are purely computational, so Yang Ning used the computational power of the Spirit Realm and obtained the results in less than a second.

After all, the number of muscles in the human body is only 639. Even if each muscle is assigned one technique, there would only be 639 techniques. And Yang Ning has never seen the limit of the computational speed of the Spirit Realm!

In reality, the new cultivation technique created by Yang Ning does not have as many as 639 techniques. It only has 365 techniques.

Because many techniques train more than one muscle, three to five techniques can work together to train a large group of muscles.

Because the number corresponds to the heavenly cycle of stars, Yang Ning named it "Heavenly Cycle Stellar Force." Following the principle of starting from easy to difficult, he divided it into seven levels.

With only the first four levels, "Heavenly Cycle Stellar Force" is already on par with the Twelve Divine Forms Technique. The remaining three levels require some complex equipment for the fifth and sixth levels, and electric shocks for the seventh level. Of course, in the Immortal Cultivation World, Yang Ning used a localized term called "thunderous power."

As for gravity, it can be used at any level, but currently, Yang Ning doesn't have the resources to create a gravity environment, so he can only leave it for later after disembarking.

Even for the sixth and seventh levels, Yang Ning doesn't plan to practice on the ship. It's too embarrassing. The first five levels are enough for him to practice for half a month.

Hmm, he is actually a bit superstitious. What if the formation can really isolate the chaos and primordial qi? That's why he chose to practice on the deck!

As for whether practicing on the deck with everyone will expose him, after trying for two days, Yang Ning is sure that it won't.

Because everyone is busy with their own training and no one cares about what others are practicing.

Moreover, it's not just Yang Ning who has wild ideas. He thought creating his own technique was already extravagant, but it turns out that everyone is creating their own techniques while practicing.

They come up with cool ideas for creation, much more extravagant than Yang Ning's.

And Wei Daocheng stays in the cultivation room all year round and never comes out.

Purely self-disciplined.

Yang Ning was also worried that Zhao Bu would cause trouble on the deck and delay his cultivation, but he found that he was worrying too much.

He is the only one in his small group who has mastered the breathing technique, so he feels quite insecure on the deck. Every day, he practices the divine forms like a mission and then runs away, without lingering on the deck.

His forms are not even standard. Yang Ning really doubts if this kind of practice has any effect.

The key is that he is not the only one playing like this. Among those who have mastered the breathing technique, about three or four out of ten are like this.

As more and more people master the breathing technique, there are also more and more lazy people. Some of them Yang Ning only saw on their first day and never saw them again.

This kind of atmosphere has also spread to the group of diligent disciples. Yang Ning noticed that there were several disciples who used to practice diligently for several hours every day, but their practice time became shorter and shorter until one day they stopped coming altogether.

Come to think of it, they are all twelve or thirteen-year-old kids. If there is no supervision, who can endure the hardships of cultivation?

If it weren't for the assistance of the Spirit Realm and Deep Blue constantly monitoring his physical data, being able to see his progress at all times, Yang Ning wouldn't have been able to persist.

Of course, it is also thanks to Yang Ning coming out of a society where people work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. He would work tirelessly for a few thousand yuan in salary. But now, what is he doing? He's cultivating immortality!

And the key is to keep cultivating until you can't die!

At my age, how can I sleep peacefully?

Moreover, the more he cultivates, the stronger his body becomes!

In the first five levels of "Heavenly Cycle Stellar Force," he first strengthens his entire body after laying the foundation. The first level strengthens the stomach and small intestine. Energy cannot be generated out of thin air, nor can it disappear into thin air. The physical body can become stronger through cultivation, relying on the nutrition brought by food.

The more he eats, the faster his cultivation speed. The more he eats, the faster his digestion speed. Coupled with a rigorous cultivation plan, his growth speed naturally becomes extremely fast.

On the fourteenth day of boarding the ship, on the third day of cultivating "Heavenly Cycle Stellar Force," Yang Ning found that his speed had already surpassed ten seconds for a hundred meters and reached 9.86 seconds. His height had also reached 1.64 meters.

On the sixteenth day, he only needed 8.52 seconds for a hundred meters. After activating the "Seven Days Breathing Method" to strengthen his physical functions, he reached 7.98 seconds!

This is ultimately a world of cultivation. In the previous world, humans would expend countless efforts just to advance by 0.01 seconds. But in this world, it is easy to surpass that.

It's as if the human body has no limits.

Twelve meters per second, how terrifying.

Coupled with his 0.13-second reaction speed, close to the human limit, and his 2.2 vision, as well as his flexible body after practicing the "Soul Refining" technique, now even if someone holds a gun and stands within seven steps of him, he can dodge and counterattack before the opponent pulls the trigger.

Clearly, in the eyes of cultivators, within seven steps, fists are faster!

Of course, if the gun is in Yang Ning's hands, that's a different story. His arms can withstand the recoil of larger firearms. The greater the recoil, the faster the bullet speed, making it more difficult to dodge.

On the eighteenth day, Yang Ning gained a little companion, Ning Rong. After switching positions and listening for a few days, she also mastered the breathing technique.

Yang Ning had originally tried to cultivate with Xun Hu, as the others were too lazy. With a little effort, he could surpass countless people. But Xun Hu preferred making friends and building connections. He said that being too diligent would lead to isolation from others. Moreover, his father, the king, told him that cultivation is not about fighting and killing, but about social relationships.

Yang Ning couldn't go against his father, so he had to give up.

On the other hand, Ning Rong unexpectedly endured the hardships and was very obedient. She would do whatever she was told and sleep at the designated time. This made Yang Ning somewhat impressed.

He also thought about the empress from the Ning family, who had a strong personality and managed her husband very well.

This is what you call genetic advantage. What's the use of being a prince with the bloodline of an emperor if you're afraid of death, lazy, and gluttonous? Having a strong and competitive personality, being able to endure hardships and work hard, that's what makes a superior bloodline!

Yang Ning extracted the part of "Heavenly Cycle Stellar Force" that involved digestion and named it "Cooking Gold and Jade Sutra," intending to teach it to Ning Rong. However, after researching it, he found that without the assistance of jade scrolls or cell-level control in the Spirit Realm, it would be extremely difficult for her to even grasp the basics of this technique. It's possible that she wouldn't learn it by the time they disembarked. Therefore, he had to simplify it further and finally created a technique called "Elephant Eating Skill."

The effect of "Elephant Eating Skill" was weakened by dozens of times compared to "Cooking Gold and Jade Sutra." However, when practiced to perfection, it could still double the digestion speed and double the cultivation speed.

In addition, Yang Ning established a positive feedback mechanism for Ning Rong through physical tests. Every day, Ning Rong could test her punching power, grip strength, pulling strength, speed, and reaction speed with Yang Ning.

Later, Ning Rong chose the sword as her weapon, so they added tests for drawing speed, striking speed, and swinging speed.

With data to support them, they could see their progress every day. Ning Rong's enthusiasm for cultivation was already not weak, but now it had greatly increased.

Unfortunately, there were no martial arts competitions or similar activities on the ship; otherwise, the young girl would definitely shine.

Yang Ning wasn't just doing good deeds. He made many modifications to his cultivation methods and needed a local cultivator as a reference to have a clear understanding of his own strength and avoid deviating too far.
