Chapter 254: Golden Roc Transformation

The roasted tiger meat wasn’t very tasty. Jiang Xincheng could only eat about half a kilogram before losing his appetite. Just then, the red snake soup was ready. He started sipping it.

The red snake soup was incredibly delicious. The snake meat melted in his mouth, unbelievably savory, and the broth tasted fresh and delightful. Jiang Xincheng gulped down a whole large bowl along with the snake meat inside. Instantly, he felt his entire body grow hot.

Jiang Xincheng immediately sat cross-legged. He began circulating the Full Moon Silver Body cultivation method to absorb the medicinal energy hidden in the snake soup, using it to temper his body.

He repeated this several times until he finished and absorbed the entire pot of red snake soup. While enjoying the delicious meal, Jiang Xincheng felt his body strengthen noticeably. His Full Moon Silver Body cultivation improved significantly, inching closer to the peak of Minor Achievement.

Next, he resumed his training. But Jiang Xincheng sighed regretfully. His Divine Arrow Art practice had hit a bottleneck. Breaking through seemed impossible in the short term. He trained hard all day without any results. After careful thought, he decided to shift focus toward practicing movement combat skills. He would save the Divine Arrow Art for gradual progression, patiently waiting for a breakthrough opportunity.

With enormous reserve of Spiritual Sense Power inside his sealed space, he pondered deeply. He resolved to train in another Origin Force Combat Skill which similarly consumed vast Spiritual Sense Power but offered unparalleled speed.

Golden Roc Transformation!

This Heaven Grade, Lower Tier Origin Force Combat Skill blended Spiritual Sense and Primordial Force seamlessly. If not for its immense Spiritual Sense demands, it could easily rank as a Heaven Grade, Middle or even Upper Tier skill.

Its speed remained shockingly fast, like a great bird spreading its wings, covering vast distances instantly. If cultivated to Perfection, it even allowed low-altitude flight for short bursts – just like the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird from legends – faster than the eye could track.

Its sole drawback lay in poor agility. In confined areas, it could be hampered easily. But compared to other lower-tier movement skills, its dexterity still soared leagues above Earth Grade ones. Yet most excellent Heaven Grade Movement Combat Skills still edged it out.

To practice Golden Roc Transformation, one must channel Spiritual Sense to control Primordial Force. This forged invisible Golden Roc Wings behind the Practitioner. With these wings, speed skyrocketed, especially over long distances.

In his past life on Earth, Golden Roc Transformation ranked among the supreme escape techniques. It granted temporary flight and unmatched speed. Only its difficulty and monstrous Spiritual Sense thirst kept it from entering Heaven Grade, Upper Tier.

But Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense Power had already reached the peak, King Realm, Perfection stage. Among Earth’s current Practitioners, he stood at the pinnacle. Golden Roc Transformation was his perfect choice.

After brief contemplation, he chose to master this Heaven Grade, Lower Tier Origin Force Combat Skill. This powerful escape art would ensure safety against unforeseen threats.

After resting, Jiang Xincheng commenced Golden Roc Transformation training. The key lay in perfectly merging Spiritual Sense and Primordial Force to form the wings behind his back. The first step fused these energies to build the Golden Roc Wings structure.

Having experience forming Divine Sense Spring Silkworms and Divine Arrow constructs proved helpful. Still, sculpting Golden Roc Wings proved vastly more complex than either task required much greater effort. Time commitment soared and failure chances multiplied dramatically.

Each failure consumed enormous Primordial Force and Spiritual Sense Power. After few mistakes, both energies drained totally requiring recovery before another attempt.

Jiang Xincheng chose to train inside this sealed space precisely because Spiritual Sense refilled constantly here. For Primordial Force replenishment, he had prepared Tier 4 Spiritual Elixirs lately perfect for energy restoration.

Plus, Yuan Stones surrounded the cavern everywhere. If he activated Devouring the Cosmos, four Devouring Vortexes absorbed Primordial Force simultaneously topping off reserves swiftly energy depletion wasn’t a worry.

First Golden Roc Wings construction attempt… failed.

Second Golden Roc Wings construction… failed.

Third construction… failed.

…

Jiang Xincheng got stuck again in a relentless cycle of building and failing. To craft a pair of Golden Roc Wings required knitting together hundreds of thousands delicate patterns. Like wind currents, these textures felt weightless and free powering the wings’ speed.

Hundreds of thousands threads braided together crafting shape of a ghostly Golden Roc Wings pair. With single flap surges of velocity inflicted. Below the wings themselves stood countless sword-shaped feathers resembling mythical Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird wings tightly.

If honed sufficiently these sword-fathers could unleash devastating attacks especially combined with insane movement speeds.

Immersion in cultivation distorted time. Uncountable days and nights blurred past. After his 1,005th failure Jiang Xincheng attempted creating Golden Roc Wings for the 1,006th time. Already 99% completed needing only the final touch.

He focused intently careless distractions. Slowly meticulously inserting the last pieces. Suddenly he sensed vibrations behind. A pair giant wings spanning meters long materialized colorless and unseen sprouting from his back.

One gentle flap later.

BANG!

He launched forward violently snapping a large tree mid-rush. The burst of speed far surpassed his Five Elements Steps movement doubled easily.

He picked himself up briefly wincing unable to suppress smile. Merely success justified Heaven Grade Lower Tier Golden Roc Transformation combat art instantly doubled travel pace almost losing control. Continued training might unlock unimaginable potential.

Before advancing however adaptation came first. Smiling slow he channeled Golden Roc Transformation activating it once. Wings flapped behind sending him rocketing forward lighting-fast.

Prepared this time he avoided tree collision wholly. Spiritual Sense swept surroundings tracking everything sharply. WHOOSH! Zap across dozens yard line instantly. Another subtle wing flutter projected him more distance similarly.

Thousands repetitions later mastery arrived. His speed peaked at one and half times former maximum countless collisions with trees stones throughout left him ragged but progressing. Effort equaled reward. Though failing numerously he completely grasped Golden Roc Transformation. With this skill escape odds increased tremendously danger threats. Facing overpowering foes fleeing safely became achievable now.
