When Zhou Fan finally opened his eyes again, an entire day had passed. Looking around, he could still see signs of destruction from the previous day.
However, he didn't plan to stop after creating two martial arts. Since a day had passed, Zhou Fan had regenerated his Qi. He once again pondered what martial arts he could make.
'Perhaps a long range attack? Maybe an invisible one?' He continuously formulated ideas in his head and decided that next, he would create a piercing long range attack.
As he considered the possibilities, Zhou Fan pointed out two fingers. On them, a thin, sword-like shape began to form. The Qi was yellow and gave off a feeling that made one feel like they would be cut in half if they looked too long.
As he stared at the attack, he named it yellow piercing sword finger. Although quite long, the name couldn't fit better.
Zhou Fan turned his attention to the farthest mountain peak and shot the yellow piercing sword finger towards it. It moved at an incredible speed. Even a core formation cultivator may not be able to see it before they were hit.
Once it came in contact with the mountain, no fancy explosion happened. Instead, the yellow piercing sword finger cleanly shot out of the back of the peak and embedded itself into the ground.
Although no mortal could see it, a small vertical slice cut through the peak. The yellow piercing sword finger had silently cut through it.
Seeing the results, Zhou Fan gave an approving nod. After testing it a few more times, Zhou Fan moved on to the next move.
-------------------
After an entire day of theorizing and testing martial arts, Zhou Fan had created 3 more.
The first one was the Dao finger. Like the Buddha's palm, it was shaped after one of Zhou Fan's body parts. Of course, it was the finger.
When he used the Dao finger, it would add many different elements onto it and cause an immense, but focused, destructive power.
Although he added all the elements he knew of, he didn't mix them. Instead, they were patched together like cloth. If he mixed them altogether, the result would be Chaos Qi. Since he already had a move that used it, he needed to create non world destroying moves. Moves that he could use against people weaker than him.
Naturally, that was for the future. Since there were no other cultivators, besides the ones he taught, there was no one to use these moves against.
The next martial art he created was 'Lightning Dragon'. Although he had previously used this to destroy a volcano, that was a messy and less advanced version of this technique.
Now, it was much bigger and much stronger.
Finally, he created a defensive spell. He called it 'Impenetrable Bubble'.
Although it wasn't literally a bubble, it was see-through and only slightly tinted yellow.
When he used the move, a giant dome would cover the area he targeted. After further thought, he changed it into a sphere so that an underground attack wouldn't be able to break through the bottom.
Now that he had these martial arts, Zhou Fan considered creating a school. Naturally, it would be a cultivation school.
He had hesitated at the thought for a while, but the thought of being the sole cultivator sounded extremely boring.
From what he could tell, he was extremely talented compared to others. At least, none of the race's rulers or the beasts could match up to him.
At the very least, having some competition would give him some motivation. However, without his assistance, nobody would be able to cultivate.
Although there was the issue of Qi, he could create a formation for that now.
Before doing all that, however, he chose to first go back to the cave. Although the rulers weren't talented with cultivation, there might be some members that have a bit of talent.
He also needed a location. There, he could build a big school that can house the greatest talents of the world.
Unfortunately, all of that sounded extremely tedious for the current Zhou Fan. As such, he decided to first break through to the next realm before starting a school.
Since he was already at a nice place, Zhou Fan didn't bother going to another place in order to cultivate. Instead, he crossed his legs where he was and began.
After a month, Zhou Fan broke into the second level of soul formation. Although he frowned at the speed, it was reasonable enough. After 2 more months, Zhou Fan broke into the third level.
It seemed that it would take a good while to break through the levels. In the end, he decided against going back to the cave to tell them about his absence.
Zhou Fan estimated that it would only take him 5 years to break into the next level.
As he cultivated, he could sense the continous growth of the soul. Zhou Fan could tell that once he was done with this realm, he would have a perfect body, mind, and soul.
It took him another 3 months to break into the 4th level. As he did so, he became confident that he could destroy an entire kingdom with Chaos buddha's palm.
Another 4 months passed and Zhou Fan broke into the 5th level. As he had cultivated, some explorers climbed the peak he was at, and Zhou Fan gently sent them down. He also used his new martial art, impenetrable bubble, to form a dome so that no more intruders could disturb him. Luckily, maintaining the bubble didn't take any concentration.
After 5 more months, Zhou Fan broke into the 6th level. Compared to the previous level, he felt he was at least 20 times stronger. During the entirety of soul formation, his power had been shooting up exponentially. At this point, he could destroy half an empire with Chaos Buddha's palm.
After 6 more months, Zhou Fan broke into the 7th level. By now, he was confident in destroying 5 empires if they were side by side.
As he continued, nothing disrupted him or caused an unusual event. Zhou Fan had absolutely no worries as he cultivated on.
