Chapter 279 - 166: Casting the Dao Cauldron, Strength Skyrockets [Subscribe Requested]_3
If the quality of Zhou Chun’s Mana Essence was one before, it was now six.
For those who cultivated rapid progression techniques, the quality of their Mana Essence was, at most, between two and three.
This gap in quality would lead to an extremely exaggerated effect in actual spell combat and skirmishes.
For example, the Five Elements Spiritual Armor Technique Zhou Chun had practiced before depended on the cultivator’s own cultivation level and Mana for its defensive strength.
If Zhou Chun were to use this secret technique now, the defensive Spirit Armor he condensed would be much stronger than the second-grade inferior Body Protection Spells used by others, and it should be no problem for it to withstand a hit from a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Also, in terms of activating Magic Artifacts, this extremely high-quality Mana allowed him to activate higher-level Magic Artifacts much more easily than other cultivators of the same rank, and the power exerted would also be stronger.
Then there was the aspect of the special characteristics that came with the Mana.
The damage that the Golden Soup Magical Power had caused Zhou Chun previously was as great as the damage it would inflict inside an enemy’s body.
Its enhancement of the power of Magic Artifacts, such as Flying Swords, was also quite evident.
Zhou Chun just tried it and found that the second-grade superior-class Magic Artifact "Flying Dragon Snatch" he activated with the Golden Soup Magical Power was more than twenty to thirty percent stronger than before.
Now, an average second-grade inferior-class Magic Artifact might be shredded by the Crimson Gold Flying Claw after just a few collisions.
Last was the Dharma Power "Golden Cauldron Profound Light" that came alongside the successful cultivation of the first chapter of the Golden Cauldron Profound Technique. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
"Golden Cauldron Profound Light" was a special Dharma Power cast based on the "Dao Cauldron" within Zhou Chun’s body.
The so-called Profound Light was profoundness upon profoundness.
It had a very powerful ability to transform, not only could it become Sword Qi or sword light to attack enemies as its master willed, but it could also turn into a shield or Protective Barrier to defend oneself, and it could even be used to restrain enemies.
No matter how it was used, its power was far superior to the Divine Skills of those cultivators who practiced rapid progression techniques. Only Divine Skills possessed by cultivators practicing certain powerful Combat Techniques could contend with it.
In Zhou Chun’s own tests, when he used the Profound Light as a shield for defense, even if it was attacked by a second-grade inferior-class Magic Artifact driven by his Golden Soup Magical Power, it would require more than a dozen repeated strikes to break through.
And as long as the Profound Light shield couldn’t be broken in a short time, Zhou Chun could activate his Mana to repair the previous damage.
According to this test, he estimated that if he were to fully support this Profound Light shield, an average mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator practicing rapid progression techniques, even with a second-grade medium-class Magic Artifact, would have to spend quite some effort to break the shield.
This meant that even without the aid of his Spirit Pet, he could now independently battle most mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators with a very high chance of victory!
Such was the power of a top-grade Cultivation Technique!
Once it was successfully cultivated, not only would the speed and quality of cultivation improve rapidly, but one would also possess extremely strong Dharma Powers for defending and protecting oneself.
And "Golden Cauldron Profound Light" was just one of the Dharma Powers attached to the successful cultivation of the first chapter within the Golden Cauldron Profound Technique. Later on, as Zhou Chun’s cultivation level grew, he would be able to master even more formidable affiliated Divine Skills from the Techniques.
Moreover, the arts of protection and self-defense recorded in the other four chapters were now within his reach to cultivate after achieving the Golden Cauldron Profound Art.
