Ning Cheng/Techniques

Cultivation Techniques
Mnemonic Chant ch 5 -6
 * This new Qi flow was clearly different from the description on the Ning Clan’s cultivation practice method’s Mnemonic Chant. Not only that, Ning Cheng felt that if he cultivated Qi according to the practice method which his mind produced, the effects could be even better.
 * Mysterious Yellow Formless ch 25-26
 * This is the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s genuine Cultivation Method. This ‘Mysterious Yellow Formless’ was a special type of Cultivation Method, not only did it vary from person to person but also differed due to time and place. This is a type of transforming Cultivation Method, one could use the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s technique correction, but yet one could not always obtain a transforming Cultivation Method.
 * A Cultivation Method that could change at all times depending on the cultivators need, this was the genuine way of the heavens and earth, also called Mysterious Yellow Formless. Only by having the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin, could one get the true Mysterious Yellow Formless.

Mysterious Wooden Wishful Tactics’ ch 35
It was wood based cultivation practice method. He gave it to An Yi.

Formless Creation ch 135
He wanted to clearly understand what the chant “Formless Creation” meant, as this could even be treated as cultivating in a Cultivation Method that had no Cultivation Method to Cultivate. The ‘Formless’ did not represent any Cultivation Method, but as long as one started to cultivate, at that moment his consciousness would automatically produce the most correct way to circulate his True Essence.

It was not so much as a Cultivation Method, rather it was better to say that it was Cultivation Method that changed at every moment. This Cultivation Method changed with time, place and the degree of purity of one’s Spiritual Qi. This kind of Cultivation Method was not something that could be inherited, and he was the only person in the entire world who could use it to cultivate.

Combining the information that he gleaned from the leather like parchment and the information that he obtained from the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin at the same place made Ning Cheng to vaguely grasp at the so called Heaven and Earth Cultivation Methods. As he had the good fortune to receive one of the five heaven defying treasures that was the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he learned that in this chaotic universe there were five kinds of Cultivation Methods that were not accepted by the Heavens and the Earth.

And as he felt his Origin Cultivation Method form in his mind, he found that this Cultivation Method was not set in stone like the others, one could change it anytime and anywhere, as it belonged to the Chaotic Origin Cultivation Methods, moreover it could only be acquired by a single person and that too if they had tremendous luck. If the Origin one obtained was more complete, the Cultivation Method generated would be even more powerful. This Cultivation Method as such was not something that was permitted by the heavens, if one did not have a great wisdom and great perseverance, then if they did not use it to cultivate their mortal bodies, then they were sure to be likely to face a terrifying tribulation lightning that would simply turn them into ash.

As for the other four types of the Cultivation Methods that were not of the Heavens or the Earth, he only came to know that they existed, but he also knew that he actually would not be able to understand anything about it.

Cultivation Practice Grades
Most Cultivation Practice methods are cla.s.sified into low level, followed by the True level, and then the higher one were cla.s.sified as the Profound Grade. But after the Profound Grade there was another level of cultivation practice methods known as the Tian Level cultivation practice methods, but they were simply stuff of the legends.

Techniques
This collapse would cause everything to come to a temporary halt; at that moment, the Spiritual Technique would then unleash a blazing inferno, causing everything and anything within the s.p.a.ce devoid of fire elements to turn into dust.

 * Profound Ice Spear Shadows ch 44: he change it into 36 Ice Swords. Ning Cheng knew that if he had to compete in Yuan Energy, then he would never be able to compete against Lian Hao, moreover now that he had removed the ice element from his 36 Ice Spear Technique, it had now turned into an elementless spear technique. But also because he had removed the ice element from it, his Yuan Energy consumption was also reduced, once he used his Yuan Energy to induce the ice element into his attacks, then for him the losses would far outweigh the gains.
 * ‘7 Pleiades Ice Needles ch 44 : 7 Pleiadene Ice Needle Technique. He did not have a needle type artifact, so he could only use his flying sword instead.
 * Axe Fist ch 59-61  :Axe Fist, this was what Ning Cheng had comprehended in the Daan Forest from the murderous aura that he had felt from the giant axe.

 * Embracing Yang G.o.d Tactic ch 312:The Embracing Yang G.o.d Tactic has already been modified by him and is now called the Formless G.o.d Tactic ch 340
 * Forsaken Land's Spiritual Consciousness Forbidden Sealing Method ch 324
 * Entangling Emotions Cultivation Method ch 326- 327
 * The Body-Forging Cultivation Method  ch 345
 * Spiritual Technique ch 401 this was a Spiritual Technique called ‘Maximal Flame’.It looks like the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique needed a Flame Spark as a base, at the same time he should also be able to bring out this Flame Spark, only then would it be able to make contact with the surrounding world. Then, in the shortest possible time, it would suck out the fire elements from the surrounding. These sucked out fire elements would then combine with the Flame Spark, causing it to produce a ‘lightning flash’, causing the fire elements in the surrounding s.p.a.ce to ‘disappear’, projecting a false s.p.a.cial collapse.

This was the most crucial point of the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique; it uses the disappearance of the fire element to create an illusion of a s.p.a.cial Collapse. Although it did not actually create a s.p.a.cial Collapse, as long as there was this illusion of s.p.a.cial Collapse, and he was able to seize this immediate opportunity of this fake s.p.a.cial Collapse, it would be tantamount to a successful execution on strike.

Only, this kind of Spiritual Technique not only needed a Flame Spark but also required one to have a robust True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness.
 * the Rainbow Fall Nine Revolutions ch 441.The Rainbow Fall Nine Revolutions was a superior grade cultivation method; however, it was not suitable for Ning Cheng's cultivation. Ning Cheng then pa.s.sed the Rainbow Fall Nine Revolutions to all the people belonging to the Rainbow Fall Sword Peak. At the same time, asked Tantai Fei to pa.s.s it along to all the True Inheriting and Core Disciples.
 * 'Nothingness Flame Patterned Spear' ch 514: Without the support from the Starry Skies' Sea of Consciousness, Ning Cheng felt sure that he could not compete against Kirk; the Starry Skies' Sea of Consciousness was just too powerful.

Moreover, without the Fire Origin, he could not have quickly melted the Ice Frost that had seeped into his body and had the potential to destroy his meridians. Without melting the Ice Frost that could soon ruin his body's Meridians, it would have become increasingly disadvantageous for him in the fight.

During the last attack that contained the Celestial River Flame's Fire Attribute, he managed to combine his Celestial River Flame with his Spear Intent, creating an entirely new attack. When stimulating the spear, it brought along endless flame patterns, these flame patterns were similar to the Axe Line Killing Intent that he had first comprehended, that turned every obstacle in its path into nothingness, allowing the Spear Intent to push forward unhindered.

The strength of his domain and the strength of his Celestial River Flame determined the power of this attack. From now on, Ning Cheng decided to name this attack as 'Nothingness Flame Patterned Spear'.

Killing Intent Realm/History ch 126
There was an essential difference between Killing Intents and Techniques, a Killing Intent is a source of power for a magic weapons and artifacts and even for the Techniques derived from the Origin. If a person had a formidable control over the Killing Intents, then he/she could simply destroy any kind of obstacles with just their Killing Intents. Whether it was Sword Intent or the Spear Intent or the Axe Intent or any other kinds of Killing Intents, they were all simply extensions of the true Killing Intent, and as such all these so called Intents were cla.s.sified as Killing Intents.

Moreover even Killing Intents have their own levels similar to cultivation levels, not only they were graded from high to low in each level, but the Killing Intents were also cla.s.sified into 5 different realms. When one initially feels the Killing Intent, and can make use of the Killing Intent for a short time, then it would mean that he/she had finally started to gain insights into the Elementary Realm.

The Killing Intent’s second Realm was the Realm of Minor Accomplishment, where one could stimulate their own murderous aura and incorporate it into their own magic weapons to fight against their opponents, which would immediately increase their killing potential by almost a full level. Ning Cheng understood, that he had also similarly surpa.s.sed the Realm of Minor Accomplishment, at the time that he had battled against Meng Yu Jing, he had comprehended that single spear, it showed that his Killing Intent had already advanced to the Realm of Minor Accomplishment.

The Killing Intent’s third realm was the Realm of Major Accomplishment, where one could stimulate their own Killing Intent to create a kind of Killing Force, this Killing Force would not only put you in an advantageous position, it can also subject your opponent to an invisible suppression and even inhibit the opponent’s fighting capabilities

The Killing Intent’s fourth realm was the Realm of Partial Omniscience, reaching this realm, as one’s Killing Intent rises, they can easily break free from the Killing Force, and conveniently use any kinds of techniques relating to Killing Intent simply with the tips of their fingers.

As for the Killing Intent’s fifth realm, it was the Realm of ‘Back to the Void’, the introduction for this realm was extremely vague, when a cultivator cultivates their Killing Intent to this realm, the Killing Intent would simply be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
