He had over two hundred thousand physical attributes, a feat achieved by supplementing several martial arts and amassing a large quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

But even a beginner level of the Longevity Technique already had sixty to seventy percent of its effects, an astonishing result.

However, such immense benefits were not easily obtained. From ancient times to the present, very few have been able to unlock its mysteries, which speaks volumes.

The second trait, the Art of Staying Young, might not seem as remarkable at first glance, but it is not so simple.

The effect at Level 1 is a ten percent reduction in the rate of aging.

However, a martial artist's constitution is vastly different from that of an ordinary person.

An average person who doesn't exercise or maintain their health might go from a vigorous youth to a middle-aged person in ten years.

For one who exercises daily and maintains their health, this process might take fifteen to twenty years.

For a martial artist, this process could last thirty to forty years. On that basis, a further ten percent reduction could extend this period to over forty years.

That's just the effect at Level 1. At the Perfection Realm, the effect at Level 5 can slow the aging rate by nearly forty percent!

Martial artists at the same level would have graying hair while practitioners of the Longevity Technique would still have jet-black hair or only a few wrinkles.

As the saying goes, "Flowers may bloom again, but a person never regains youth." This kind of effect is irresistible.

To further slow down the aging process, one would need to acquire the subsequent volumes of the Longevity Technique.

Of course, this trait means it can only slow down aging, not stop it completely; it just makes the process much slower.

Chen Fan's face revealed a look of anticipation.

This was just the beginner level; the traits unlocked later would be even more powerful.

Earlier, he spent one and a half million experience points. This time, he invested three million experience points.

Instantly, the cultivation progress of the Longevity Technique skyrocketed to one hundred percent, directly entering the Small Success Realm.

This time, in addition to the physical changes, Chen Fan felt a significant increase in his True Qi.

"Is this the trait that boosts the Primordial True Qi?"

Chen Fan was delighted.

He currently mastered several secret techniques but was limited by his insufficient True Qi.

For example, the Heaven-Piercing Arrow and the Giant Spirit Hand each required ten million points of True Qi, while his most powerful attack, the Heaven-Burning Arrow, needed a staggering fifteen million points of True Qi!

As one of the top-tier supreme martial arts, the Longevity Technique surely wouldn't lack in its amplification effects on True Qi. It might even boost his True Qi to over ten million points in one go.

Chen Fan looked excitedly,

[Longevity Technique (Water): Initial Glimpse (0%), Traits: Longevity Level 2, Art of Staying Young Level 2, Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence Level 1]

[Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence: Each skill level increases Primordial True Qi by three times]

"Indeed."

Chen Fan's face lit up with a smile.

The trait of the Undying Golden Body was a one-time Primordial True Qi increase.

The Longevity Technique directly boosts it by three times!

At the Perfection Realm, it adds an additional twelve times!

Chen Fan looked at the attribute bar.

His current True Essence Value was over ninety-nine thousand, just short of one hundred thousand points. Another enhancement of the Longevity Technique, and his True Qi would undoubtedly break through the ten million point mark.

If he reached the Perfection Realm...

A bold thought crossed Chen Fan's mind.

The Sea of Qi in his dantian could be so full of True Essence that he could attempt to break through to the Celestial Human Realm?

He had heard some things about breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm: the Martial Arts True Pill that martial artists condense affects how much they can absorb and use the power of heaven and earth. The better the quality of the Martial Arts True Pill, the higher the limits.

For instance, the President Shi Tao had condensed a First-grade Martial Arts True Pill, making him one of the standout Celestial Realm martial artists. Most condense Second-grade Martial Arts True Pills, and quite a few condense Third-grade Pills.

There were even rumors of a Celestial grade above First-grade.

However, those who could condense such quality were as rare as phoenix feathers. There were hardly any known successful cases in this era.

Chen Fan's goal was naturally Celestial grade.

After all, if he had the attribute panel, why wouldn't he aim for the best? Otherwise, it would be a waste.

"Let's continue."

He collected his thoughts and this time, invested six million experience points.

As expected, the realm of the Longevity Technique broke through again, reaching the stage of Entering the Hall. Simultaneously, a flash of insight crossed his mind.

"As expected of a Divine Demon-level Martial Art, it unlocked new traits again."

Chen Fan smiled, filled with anticipation.

[Longevity Technique (Water): Initial Glimpse (0%), Traits: Longevity Level 3, Art of Staying Young Level 3, Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence Level 2, All Rivers Flow into the Sea Level 1]

[All Rivers Flow into the Sea: Each skill level doubles the natural recovery speed of injuries and True Qi. The more depleted the True Qi, the faster the recovery speed, up to three times]

Chen Fan's eyes widened.

No wonder he didn't feel anything because his True Qi was full and unspent, and he had no injuries. But once he was out in the wild, this trait would truly shine, especially during a Beast Tide.

Why were Beast Tides terrifying? It's because of the endless Fierce Beasts. They couldn't be killed off completely, and the natural recovery speed of True Qi for martial artists was too slow to keep up with the consumption. As for injuries, they'd also need True Qi to heal, further increasing the consumption.

Mid to High-level Fierce Beasts might be dumb, but not so much that they'd watch you meditate and recover without attacking. Especially since Beast Tides are often commanded by Commander-level or even Beast King-level Fierce Beasts.

No matter how strong a martial artist, once their True Qi was exhausted, they'd have to rely on physical strength, and if that too was exhausted, they could only wait for death.

This trait, however, would allow a cultivator's True Qi to naturally recover at twice the previous speed. The more depleted the True Qi, the faster the recovery speed, up to four times the previous.

If cultivated to perfection, the normal recovery speed would be four times the previous, and in extreme cases, it could be ten times!

What does this mean?

Chen Fan calculated that in a meditative state, it took three hours to fully recover his True Qi.

If he didn't meditate but let it recover naturally, it would take about twelve hours.

Level 1 of All Rivers Flow into the Sea could cut this time in half. Six hours to fully recover.

At perfection, Level 3 All Rivers Flow into the Sea would require only three hours, identical to meditative recovery.

And he wouldn't need to face the adverse effects of meditation, like sitting still and unable to move.

The key is, this is just the beginning.

The more True Qi expended, the faster the recovery speed!

Reaching ten times, his True Qi could be fully restored within an hour. It might even reach a point where the True Qi used wasn't enough to keep up with the recovery.

"What a horrifying trait."

Chen Fan gasped.

This trait was perhaps the core advantage of the Longevity Technique.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, each had its role.

One significant role of Water is healing.

Everything needs water to survive!

"Indeed, every Divine Demon-level Martial Art must be sought after at all costs; they cannot be missed."

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

Just this trait alone would allow him to remain undefeated in the upcoming Beast Tide, unless a Beast Emperor-level or multiple Beast King-level Fierce Beasts appeared.

If he hadn't obtained this martial art, holding off the flood of fierce beasts would be several times more difficult!

"Just two more realms to Perfection."

Chen Fan's gaze shifted to the experience points bar.
