The combat techniques of the Void Realm are not like the martial techniques on the Yuan Star. Even the lowest level of combat techniques in the Void Realm can only be cultivated by those at the Nascent Soul stage.

This is because the combat techniques here use one's own spiritual power to mobilize the power of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, then combine it with the power of the Great Dao that one has comprehended, and finally, after reaching the Void Refinement stage and comprehending the Great Dao Wheel, the power of the Great Dao between heaven and earth can be harnessed.

This is not as simple as just adding one, one, and one!

As cultivators progress, after reaching the Divine Infant stage, the majority of them tend to shift their focus to the comprehension of the Great Dao during cultivation, somewhat neglecting the tempering of spiritual power. The cultivation of spiritual power seems to have become merely a step in advancing in realm.

However, in battles, spiritual power is indispensable, although it seems less important compared to the comprehension of the Great Dao.

But, in reality, when cultivators advance to the Integration Realm stage, they realize that the tempering of spiritual power should not be overlooked. Most cultivators at the Integration Realm will revisit the tempering of spiritual power, as the intensity of spiritual power before the Integration Realm, after the Divine Infant stage, is comparatively less than the enhancement brought by the Great Dao comprehension in battles.

Combat techniques allow spiritual power to provide more combat strength enhancement for cultivators at the Divine Infant and Void Refinement stages!

Every combat technique is the result of countless experiments and deductions by predecessors, resulting in a masterpiece of essence, and likewise, the value of each combat technique throughout the Void Realm is extremely high!

The levels of combat techniques are divided into four grades, ascending from Human Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, Saint Grade!

Each grade is further divided into three levels: high, medium, and low.

Whether there is anything beyond this is unknown.

The power that different grades of combat techniques can exert varies greatly.

Of course, this also depends on the level of mastery of the combat technique. If a cultivator can master a Human Grade combat technique to perfection, defeating someone of the same realm who has just mastered an Earth Grade combat technique is not impossible!

Human Grade combat techniques are generally popular among Nascent Soul stage cultivators because their spiritual power reserves are relatively low, and each combat technique requires a vast amount of spiritual power as support.

Therefore, generally, Nascent Soul stage cultivators will choose Human Grade combat techniques, while only some exceptionally talented individuals will opt for Earth Grade combat techniques.

Likewise, Earth Grade combat techniques are suitable for Void Refinement stage cultivators, while Heaven Grade combat techniques suit Integration Realm cultivators.

However, this is not absolute. Nascent Soul stage cultivators are not barred from learning Heaven Grade combat techniques. Still, even if an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator exhausts all their spiritual power, they cannot execute the combat technique!

This is why giving a Heaven Grade combat technique as a reward to Jiang Chen by Jian Cangqiong surprised everyone.

First, Heaven Grade combat techniques are extraordinarily precious. If word got out that Jiang Chen possessed a Heaven Grade combat technique, even some Integration Realm powerhouses might be tempted to seize it!

Even the weakest Heaven Grade Primary War Technique would prompt some small and medium forces to react!

"From the great battle, I found that you could control the formation to launch attacks multiple times, and your spiritual power density far exceeds that of ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Due to the heavy losses suffered from the great battle a century ago, the Archive Pavilion is virtually non-existent. I suppose those Human Grade combat techniques don't interest you, and the Earth Grade combat techniques are almost entirely ruined, so the only viable option is this Heaven Grade Primary 'Five Elements Sealing Demon Sword'!"

Jian Cangqiong lightly chuckled and glanced at the jade slip in Jiang Chen's hand.

Jiang Chen gradually put aside his astonishment, looked down at the jade slip in his hand, and a flicker of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you, Dean!"

He stored the jade slip into his space ring and bowed to Jian Cangqiong with cupped fists.

He addressed him as Dean, not Teacher, because the 'Five Elements Sealing Demon Sword' combat technique was awarded to him in Jian Cangqiong's capacity as the Dean.

"Young Jiang, don't thank him. The 'Five Elements Sealing Demon Sword' combat technique was created by the first Dean of Changlin Academy. Since then, no one has mastered it because mastering this technique requires one to comprehend the Five Elements Great Path."

Hu Yiqiu grinned: "Throughout these years, no student at Changlin Academy has ever been able to comprehend the Five Elements Great Path, and even the entire Changlang Continent has rarely seen someone who can understand all five of the Great Paths. Even those so-called 'Sons of the Heavenly Dao' couldn't achieve that."

"So, if he doesn't give it to you, who else would he give it to? Even if you hadn't made such a great contribution, he would still have given you this combat technique!"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, glancing in surprise at Jian Cangqiong, while Yun Tao and Ouyang Ruoxue, upon hearing this, also looked at Jian Cangqiong oddly.

Cough!

Jian Cangqiong coughed to disguise his embarrassment.

"Moreover..."

Hu Yiqiu cast a disdainful glance at Jian Cangqiong: "Cang Qiong, you are still Young Jiang's teacher, aren't you ashamed to treat your student like this? Giving him a reward that only Young Jiang can learn, how about you hold on to the combat technique and wait until he has offspring?"

Jian Cangqiong felt a bit humiliated by Hu Yiqiu's reprimand, but the truth was as such, leaving him at a loss for words in rebuttal!

"Master, no matter how suitable the combat technique is, it shouldn't be given directly, that's against the Academy's rules."

Jiang Chen, unable to stand by, interjected for Jian Cangqiong.

"You brat, what are you interrupting for? Can't you see this guy is almost embarrassed enough to pull out something else? What if he doesn't take it out because you spoke? We can't just rob him, can we?"

Hu Yiqiu glared at Jiang Chen, speaking with irritation.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, glanced at Jian Cangqiong, and his gaze fell on Jian Cangqiong's right hand, which was already placed on the space ring.

"Elder Wine, am I that stingy?"

Jian Cangqiong chuckled bitterly and shook his head, taking out another item from the space ring and handing it to Jiang Chen: "This is the key to the Spirit Herb Pavilion at the Academy. Besides the 'Five Elements Sealing Demon Sword', your reward this time includes any three spirit herbs you choose. Because of the great war a century ago, the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Pavilion are insufficient, but there are still some good items. Choose wisely."

"You lack sincerity."

Hu Yiqiu's eyes brightened as he snatched the key from Jian Cangqiong's hand and stuffed it into Jiang Chen's hand.

"You know the Academy's rules well, for the nonsense about not letting the pearl remain in the dark, the Spirit Herb Pavilion requires the student to choose the herbs themselves. Young Jiang is not a Pill Master; how could he possibly pick the best spirit herbs?"

Then, he critiqued once more: "If he ends up selecting three first-grade spirit herbs, wouldn't he be at a loss?"
