The "Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill" martial arts technique, categorized as a supreme martial art, only required about one million experience points for Chen Fan to advance it to the Perfection Realm.
Among the unlocked traits, the first two are relatively common, enhancing one’s True Qi and Spiritual Power.
Starting from the Great Success Realm, the unlocked traits become exceptional, with a new trait unlocked at each subsequent realm, totaling three traits.
These are: Observing Human Changes, Observing Earth Changes, and Observing Celestial Changes.
Heaven, Earth, and Man, the three transformations, are the core of this martial art, providing insight into all things.
Observing Human Changes, once activated, not only allows internal visualization to detect and treat injuries in one’s body but also enables one to see through the True Qi flow of opponents, identifying and targeting weak points accurately.
Observing Earth Changes, once activated, reveals the distribution of earth veins and changes in Primordial Qi. Shen Si can sense the presence of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which is precisely due to this ability.
From this, it can be inferred that his skill in the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill is not shallow, just one realm away from perfection.
If the cultivation technique he received were complete, perhaps he could have cultivated to the Perfection Realm.
The final Observing Celestial Changes is even more formidable, capable of foreseeing the future. The stronger the cultivator’s Spiritual Power, the longer the foresight, for instance, a cultivator with only one thousand points of Spiritual Power could foresee events within a few seconds.
If Spiritual Power is increased to ten thousand, it produces an exponential effect, allowing the cultivator to predict events within a few minutes.
With one hundred thousand points of Spiritual Power, the foresight period can be extended to one or two hours.
After cultivating the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, Chen Fan’s Spiritual Power increased from 2.8 million points to just over 3 million, a growth of 200,000 points.
It was inevitable; after all, his Spiritual Power was already very high. For the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, only a supreme martial art, to increase it by this much was not bad at all.
With 3 million points of Spiritual Power, he can foresee events happening within one or two days.
If his Spiritual Power grows to ten million, the foresight period could stretch to ten days to half a month.
Additionally, there are two limitations to using this ability.
One requires consuming Spiritual Power, and the other imposes a cooldown period.
The former is easy to understand: the longer the foresight span, the more targets and stronger individuals involved, the more Spiritual Power it consumes, potentially draining Life Force if it becomes unsustainable, as happened previously with Meng Xue.
The cooldown period refers to the time after use during which the ability cannot be used again, from now until the end of the foresight period.
For example, if he uses this ability now to foresee the future of Anshan City one day from now, the next second, the future of Anshan City would appear in his mind, detailed like a high-definition movie with every detail and sound.
Simultaneously, the trait Observing Celestial Changes would turn gray in the skill bar, unusable until one day later, from the moment he perceives Anshan City’s future.
"This second condition is indeed somewhat troublesome," Chen Fan pondered in his mind.
Even if his Spiritual Power reached ten million points and he could foresee events ten days to half a month ahead, he would not dare to use it casually.
Because once used, for those ten days to half a month, the ability cannot be used again.
Unless, if he advances the realm of the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill further, reaching the next level, the Observing Celestial Changes trait increases to Level 2, granting an additional usage opportunity.
Thankfully, this limitation is not terribly daunting; the key lies in how to utilize it effectively.
As long as the time is short and the Spiritual Power is sufficient, it is essentially unlimited use.
Imagine using this ability in combat; one would almost be unbeatable, as every move of the opponent is under control, even if not an evenly matched opponent, one could foresee the result in advance and choose to retreat.
This ability is already terrifying.
Furthermore, the strength of this martial art lies not only in foreseeing the future.
Through Observing Earth Changes, one can find various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. After personally consuming them to no further effect, they can be used to nurture others, such as the Meng Xue sisters.
Their Spiritual Power growth would not harm him.
"By the way, the uneasiness I felt earlier, could it indicate that something bad is about to happen?" Chen Fan furrowed his brows.
Now possessing the ability to foresee the future, it felt wasteful not to use it.
If he could foresee it, it would not be a loss.
After all, the enemies or fierce beasts encountered now are hardly strong enough to necessitate continuous foresight in battle.
"However, if I want to foresee, there is a prerequisite: the event must occur within the period I can currently foresee," Chen Fan pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try.
If he could not foresee, then he could consider it as if nothing had happened.
He silently recited, wondering about the uneasy feeling, will something bad happen in the future?
In the next second, most of his Spiritual Power was consumed, and simultaneously, a scene appeared in his mind.
The setting was a grand hall, surrounded by people, with two groups in the center clashing.
