Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

In the cave, Wang Chen opened his eyes.

His upper body was completely bare, and he was only wearing a pair of shorts; his skin was significantly red and faintly displayed a strange texture.

However, it quickly faded back to normal.

Wang Chen had just completed the first layer of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel Cultivation Technique.

For Wang Chen, this Cultivation Technique was undoubtedly peculiar, greatly differing from the Body Refinement techniques and Martial Arts skills he had mastered in the past.

Although his body had already cultivated the Corpse Dog Wheel.

In reality, Wang Chen could be said to be learning from scratch, gradually integrating the original owner's memories into his own understanding.

Because only in this way could he truly unleash the power of this Cultivation Technique in battle.

[Name: Wang Chen (Ling Zhiyuan)]

[Age: 15]

[Cultivation Level: Martial Apprentice]

[Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel (Corpse Dog): 47/100]

[Potential: 79]

After a session of cultivation, the experience points of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel had increased by 1 point, but 2 points of potential had been consumed!

Wang Chen had come to understand.

A Martial Artist's Life Qi didn't appear out of nowhere; its source was indeed a person's potential, which, eight or nine times out of ten, came from daily diet.

In Ling Zhiyuan's memories, there were deep impressions of the heavily medicinal-tasting food consumed during martial training!

The Ling Family was a prominent clan in Anyang City. Ling Zhiyuan usually lived in luxury, not only consuming exquisite ingredients but also taking specially prepared medicinal supplements to strengthen blood, flesh, and bones, thereby enhancing potential and consequently fostering Life Qi to solidify into a Fiend Wheel.

A complete Martial Arts Dharma Technique!

However, because Ling Zhiyuan preferred literature over martial arts, he only learned the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel under pressure and didn't pay attention to or research these martial arts concepts.

This left Wang Chen with no choice but to analyze and explore on his own.

It turned out that normal cultivation required the consumption of 2 points of potential for 1 point of Cultivation Technique experience, which was double compared to simply adding the points directly!

After thinking it over, Wang Chen decided to add 1 more point to the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel.

[Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel (Corpse Dog): 48/100]

[Potential: 78]

After adding the points, he distinctly felt an unusual sensation; the Life Qi inside his body grew stronger, but there were also some signs of disorder.

This confirmed that adding points to this Cultivation Technique indeed should not be done recklessly!

In the following days, Wang Chen hunted fish in the pond to stave off hunger, then invested most of his time into cultivating.

He enhanced his Cultivation Level by consuming 3 points of potential to gain 2 points of experience each day.

Half a month later, the experience points for the first layer of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel reached 78 points, still 22 points away from being maxed out.

At the same time, his potential had decreased to 44 points.

Throughout this period, he had only managed to increase his potential by 1 point!

This was clearly because Wang Chen was eating fish every day, which sustained his life but hardly increased his potential.

To gain more potential, Wang Chen needed better food or supplements!

Realizing this, Wang Chen no longer focused solely on the fish in the pond.

In fact, after half a month, he had nearly depleted the large fish there; the trapping method had long since become ineffective, and he needed to dive into the water to hunt to achieve any results.

Wang Chen expanded his hunting range, starting to search for beasts nearby.

Before long, creatures like snakes, wild rabbits, and badgers appeared on Wang Chen's menu.

He even hunted down a sika deer!

After glutting on deer blood and feasting on its meat that evening, Wang Chen's potential increased by 2 points!

Regrettably, his original self had no knowledge of survival in the wild and was completely ignorant of herbal medicine, causing Wang Chen to struggle with collecting medicinal herbs to supplement his physique and nurture his Qi in the vast mountains.

He was also afraid of accidentally poisoning himself by trying unknown plants, which could potentially cost him his life!

Nevertheless, he persisted, and the area between his eyebrows increasingly swelled as if something was about to break through the skin.

This was a sign that the Obscure Tortoise Wheel was about to coalesce.

Corpse Dog at the top, Obscure Tortoise between the brows, Sparrow Shadow at the throat, Swallowing Thief at the heart, Non-Poison at the navel, Chu Hui at the base, Chou Fei at the bottom—these are the seven fiendish transformations hidden within the body by the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel, the fundamental Dharma Technique of this cultivation method.

In fact, only men could completely cultivate this technique!

Seeing a breakthrough was imminent, Wang Chen calmed his mind and stopped directly adding points, instead choosing to solidify his foundation step by step.

A month after settling in the small valley, the experience points of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel reached 99!

That day, Wang Chen cooked a pot full of cured meat he had accumulated from his usual hunting, enjoying it heartily until it was all gone.

That night, he began his assault on the second layer of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel.

Ling Zhiyuan's martial arts talent was excellent, and by inheriting his body and memories, Wang Chen also possessed this aptitude.

Moreover, Wang Chen's will and experience far exceeded that of Ling Zhiyuan, and combining this talent, his progress in cultivation was rapid, yet showed no signs of crumbling or dispersal.

Rather, it was quite solid and stable.

On this basis, Wang Chen did not opt for the easiest method of adding points for advancement but strictly adhered to the Dharma Technique of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel to break through his own limits.

In the cave, by the fire pit, Wang Chen's muscles tensed up, his skin surface took on an almost demonic red hue, and his tendons twisted beneath the membrane, emitting an enveloping heat.

This was a sign that his Life Qi had been stimulated to the utmost!

At his brow, a perfectly round wheel, red as blood, prominently emerged!

"Break!"

Accompanied by a deep shout, Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, which gleamed with a captivating brilliance.

The wheel at his forehead instantly expanded and then contracted back, leaving behind a faint silver-white shadow hanging above for a long time.

Life Qi in Wang Chen's body swept through his organs and limbs like a storm, cleansing every inch of his muscle and bone, then slowly reintegrating.

[Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel (Obscure Tortoise): 0/200]

He had succeeded!

With the coalescence of the Obscure Tortoise Wheel, Wang Chen formally stepped into the second tier of martial artists—the Warrior Realm.

He stood up, and his joints immediately made a dense, grinding noise, his muscles noticeably swelling.

His entire stature had grown by an inch or two.

This cultivation technique clearly also had a powerful effect on altering his physique and physique.

Wang Chen clenched his fist, feeling that his strength had increased at least several times compared to before.

His means of survival in this world had significantly improved!

However, there were also problems; Wang Chen soon noticed that his shorts had burst open, and his outer garment had become noticeably too small, feeling awkwardly tight around his body.

Although this issue was not unsolvable, he decided after some thought to leave this place.

During this month, Wang Chen had been eating bland, tasteless food.

Lacking food salt wasn't a major issue in the short term, but it would inevitably lead to various problems over time.

Memories from Ling Zhiyuan informed Wang Chen that food salt in this world is not cheap, especially refined salt, which is quite expensive.

Besides, Wang Chen's potential points were nearly depleted; he needed better and more sources of food.

Staying in this small valley, these needs could not be met.
