Chapter 207: Chapter 208 Fertile Great Luo Palm (Please Collect, Reward, and Recommend)

Chu Fengmian inwardly heaved a sigh.

Thankfully, the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Saint Heir was the Killing Heart Demon Technique, an absolute evil cultivation method.

This thunder, inherently the power of utmost yang and firmness, possessed a great restraint against evil cultivation methods. Otherwise, the Saint Heir might have been able to reach this fifth gate just like Chu Fengmian.

Passing through the boundless thunder of the fourth gate to arrive here at this fifth gate.

However, since the Saint Heir had already passed through the first three gates, he certainly must have reaped many benefits and would undoubtedly become one of Chu Fengmian’s powerful rivals in the future.

"May I ask senior, what is the test within this fifth gate?"

Chu Fengmian steadied his mind, temporarily setting aside other matters and focusing all his attention on the test before him.

The test of the fifth gate was the last one, but it was also expected to be the most difficult.

If he succeeded in this test, Chu Fengmian would be worthy of receiving the inheritance of the Emperor of Fertility, but if he failed, Chu Fengmian would have nothing to show for his efforts.

With success or failure hinging on a single moment, Chu Fengmian had no choice but to take this seriously.

"The test? The test within this fifth gate is very simple, just defeat this king."

The Emperor of Fertility chuckled loudly.

"Without defeating this king, what qualifications do you have to obtain my inheritance?"

"What!"

Chu Fengmian’s pupils sharply constricted.

Defeat the Emperor of Fertility?

Even if the Emperor of Fertility before him was merely a projection, he still possessed the strength of a saint. Even if Chu Fengmian’s power were increased tenfold, he still might not be sufficient to defeat the Emperor of Fertility.

This test was simply impossible for a person to complete. Could it be that the Emperor of Fertility had designed a test meant to toy with them?

As Chu Fengmian’s mind was still racing, the Emperor of Fertility saw his expression and chuckled again before speaking.

"Of course, I don’t expect you to defeat me with strength; your power is far from a match for even this projection that I have left behind."

"What I want to test is your understanding and learning ability of martial skills. I will teach you my strongest martial skill that once dominated across the Nine Domains, the Fertile Great Luo Palm."

"I will then suppress my power to the same level as yours, and afterwards, if you can comprehend the Fertile Great Luo Palm to a degree of seventy percent, you will be sufficient to defeat me."

"Whether you pass the test will depend on your ability to grasp martial skills. Without outstanding comprehension, you are not worthy to be the person who inherits my mantle."

The Emperor of Fertility spoke proudly.

He had arranged so many tests precisely to assess the warrior truly worthy of inheriting his power.

Aptitude, demeanor, mentality, strength—all were indispensable. Such a mighty figure as he had extremely stringent requirements for his disciples.

"Comprehend martial skills?"

This test wasn’t too difficult to understand. However, the Fertile Great Luo Palm was a palm technique.

And as a Sword Cultivator, Chu Fengmian had never researched palm techniques in his previous life, rendering all his past experiences utterly meaningless.

"This king will give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, I will make my move."

As the Emperor of Fertility spoke, he suddenly transmitted a series of images directly into Chu Fengmian’s mind.

These were the various images of the Fertile Great Luo Palm.

Afterwards, the Emperor of Fertility suppressed his power to around the pinnacle of the Wind-Riding Realm, roughly equal to Chu Fengmian’s full strength, and waited.

After so many assessments, the Emperor of Fertility had already fully grasped Chu Fengmian’s strength and naturally knew it like the back of his hand.

"Fertile Great Luo Palm."

Chu Fengmian closed his eyes, and in his mind emerged everything about the Fertile Great Luo Palm.

This Fertile Great Luo Palm was a martial skill created by the Emperor of Fertility at the peak of his power, ranked as an Earth-level supreme technique.

However, in terms of power, it was even close to the level of a Heaven-level martial skill.

"What a powerful palm technique."

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but admire it. Many of the powerful martial skills handed down today were actually created during the flourishing era of martial arts in ancient times.

In this era, being able to create an Earth-level inferior martial skill was enough to be regarded as a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Persons like the Emperor of Fertility, who could create an Earth-level supreme martial skill, were extremely rare. Such figures were held in high esteem even among the seven major sects.

Indeed, the Emperor of Fertility was a true Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Chu Fengmian observed everything about the Fertile Great Luo Palm, and his brows couldn’t help but furrow tightly.

Almost as he had expected, when it came to palm techniques, Chu Fengmian was completely ignorant. With just ten minutes of time, Chu Fengmian feared he could barely begin to use the palm technique.

He might not even be able to unleash one-tenth of its power, let alone reach seventy percent of its power.

"Isn’t there any other way?"

Chu Fengmian thought anxiously in his heart. If he failed this final assessment, all his efforts would be in vain.

"Palm techniques... If I can’t cultivate palm techniques, then what about altering this palm technique?"

Countless ideas ran through Chu Fengmian’s mind, and he suddenly had an insight.

Since he had no advantage in cultivating palm techniques, why not alter the palm technique?

This Fertile Great Luo Palm could be regarded as the martial arts culmination of the Emperor of Fertility’s life.

But what suited the Emperor of Fertility might not necessarily suit Chu Fengmian. Chu Fengmian could modify this Fertile Great Luo Palm into a martial skill that suited him better.

No sooner said than done.

In Chu Fengmian’s hands, the Red Flame Sword was immediately drawn. Following the activation method of the Fertile Great Luo Palm, Chu Fengmian infused its power straight into the sword edge.

Then, Chu Fengmian used Spiritual Power to begin moving.

Creating a martial skill.

What Chu Fengmian had to do now was to create a new martial skill based on the technique of the Fertile Great Luo Palm.

In terms of palm techniques, Chu Fengmian certainly knew nothing. But when it came to swordsmanship, there were few in this world who could compare to Chu Fengmian.

He now intended to integrate the power of the Fertile Great Luo Palm into his swordsmanship to create a new sword technique, most suitable for Chu Fengmian.

"Creating a sword technique?"

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s actions, the Emperor of Fertility on the side also realized Chu Fengmian’s intention and was startled.

The Chu Fengmian before him was actually creating a new sword technique from the Fertile Great Luo Palm.

Creating martial skills, creating swordsmanship, that was something only martial artists with at least the strength of a Saint could achieve. Only with the strength of a Saint could one truly understand the essence of martial arts.

However, among ten Saints, perhaps not even one could create a martial skill or sword technique. To create martial skills or swordsmanship required an extremely deep understanding of martial arts.

He had never seen a junior with the strength of the Riding Wind realm and only the realm of Sea of Consciousness create a sword technique.
