Chapter 617: Chapter 576: Reaching the Pinnacle, Breaking Through

The smoke gradually surfaced like a tide, transforming into snake-like characters, appearing before Qin An.

[Scholar lv.21 (0/100000): Your reading speed has greatly improved, allowing for eidetic memory, deeper understanding, analogy, increased benefits, and significantly enhanced proficiency.]

[Talent: Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Cultivation Techniques Insight Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Cultivation Techniques Meditation Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Cultivation Techniques Enhancement Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Cultivation Techniques Resistance Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Attributes Enhancement Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Insight Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Cultivation Techniques Attributes Fusion Perfection]

This past month, Qin An almost never stopped, constantly cultivating the proficiency of the Scholar Profession every moment. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He read through all the books Zhou Wuming gave him, almost every minute and second improving himself.

In this frenetic yet monotonous life, Qin An finally raised his scholar level to level twenty-one.

Upon reaching level twenty-one, he gained the trait of significantly enhanced proficiency, and all talents reached the level of Perfection in the Element Transformation Realm.

Additionally, he acquired a new talent of Perfection in Fusion of Element Transformation Realm Heart Method Cultivation Techniques Attributes.

This talent was quite interesting.

While cultivating heart methods, Qin An could fuse all heart method attributes into a colorless attribute.

The colorless attribute could morph into numerous forms, nearly encompassing all current attributes, truly a terrifying talent.

Of course, the colorless attribute also allowed for future fusion of more attributes.

The terrifying aspect of this heart method was that every time Qin An cultivated a new attribute cultivation technique, his heart method would be enhanced to a formidable level, each time being a huge qualitative transformation.

On the shore, Zhou Wuming and Liu Rong had been waiting all along.

During this period, besides daily tasks, they waited here for Qin An to emerge from the Celestial Cloud Pool.

Qin An’s life was very monotonous, and theirs was too.

But fortunately, they were top experts, so this kind of tedious and tasteless life didn’t bother them.

Today, they saw some changes in Qin An and hurriedly approached him.

Zhou Wuming asked, "Mr. Qin, have you finally reached the point of breaking through to the Tripod Aspiration Realm?"

Qin An came to his senses and nodded, "Killing intent still resides in my mind and soul, but I just need to break through to the Tripod Aspiration Realm, and then carry out boundless slaughter outside, which would thoroughly cleanse all the killing intent, restoring my mind and soul to their pure and pristine state."

Liu Rong asked, "How can one reach the Tripod Aspiration Realm?"

Qin An turned to the bookshelf beside him and said, "Zhou Senior, is the Celestial Cloud Heart Skill you mentioned here?"

Zhou Wuming nodded and then waved his sleeve, causing a cultivation technique book to float from the shelf into his hands.

He tossed this cultivation technique book in front of Qin An and said, "This is the most powerful heart method in my Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, named the Celestial Cloud Heart Skill."

"This heart method uses killing intent as the path, the stronger the killing intent, the more powerful the cultivation method becomes, and killing intent is linked with slaughter; the higher the quantity and quality of slaughter, the more formidable its power."

Qin An, in the Celestial Cloud Pool, raised his hand to grab this Celestial Cloud Heart Skill, finding it indeed as Zhou Wuming said, a cultivation method using killing intent as the path.

Moreover, the terrifying aspect of this cultivation method lies in slaughter.

The top experts in this world all reached their height by unleashing boundless slaughter.

As the saying goes, amidst piled skulls behind, reputation shines bright ahead, that’s how it is.

And with this Celestial Cloud Heart Skill, any practice can transform past slaughters into latent power within.

Once unleashed, it will be boundless, extremely terrifying.

Qin An thought to himself, "Even the Evil Extermination Bureau may not possess such a formidable and terrifying heart method; this Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land is truly a treasure land, and this is likely the most precious thing apart from the Celestial Cloud Pool."

Thinking of this, Qin An looked up at Zhou Wuming and said, "Zhou Senior, could I trouble you and others to wait for me on the side for a moment?"

Zhou Wuming and Liu Rong exchanged glances, not disturbing Qin An, retreating several steps to patiently wait.

Qin An began reading the Celestial Cloud Heart Skill again, and upon finishing, achieved a profound understanding of it.

He didn’t hesitate, and then operated his internal Void Essence according to the path of the Celestial Cloud Heart Skill.

After operating the Void Essence, smoke appeared, gradually consolidating into new characters.

[You cultivated the Celestial Cloud Heart Skill, triggering the Scholar Profession Talent, Celestial Cloud Heart Skill (Perfection)]

This heart method appeared as an ordinary heart method, yet it could be cultivated perpetually.

Therefore, even now, upon triggering the corresponding talent, it could be perfected into Perfection.

Qin An did not hesitate, looked at Zhou Wuming again, and said, "Zhou Senior, how are the demon spirits I requested from you?"

Zhou Wuming waved his hand, releasing a large number of demon spirits from his sleeve, piling like a small mountain before Qin An: "These are the demon spirits I requested someone to collect, not much, but should be sufficient for Mr. Qin."

Qin An’s mouth twitched slightly, looking at the small mountain of demon spirits, feeling speechless.

This quantity of demon spirits would be a terrifying asset even in the Evil Extermination Bureau, but in the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, they produced this amount without hesitation.
