Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 24.2: The Sword that Blooms from The Trees

The dim lamplight gently seeped through the wall, faintly outlining the silhouette of the grass, but it didn't appear bright. Instead, it accentuated the surrounding darkness of the night.

The wild grass, rising and falling along the hillside, resembled an endless river. The fireflies in the grass were like the fishing lanterns reflecting on the river's surface.

Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew by, extinguishing the lamp inside the wall in an instant. The dim, heavy, and somewhat intoxicating glow quietly disappeared.

Countless fireflies that had been perched on the plants and trees took flight, transforming into a sea of stars that followed the wind.

Meng Jintang lifted her hand and gently brushed aside the veil in front of her face.

The colors of the fireflies were vividly reflected in her eyes.

The fireflies had already flown by, but the traces of their light remained in her heart. Each trail resembled a graceful sword flash, and Meng Jintang could see the patterns on their tiny wings.

They fluttered so quickly, yet to her, it was one motion after another, clear and distinct.

Groups of fireflies floated gracefully up and then descended, their flight light and delicate.

Chen Shen stood on the ground, and as he looked up, he saw the profile of the young woman in her flowing green dress. Fireflies drifted gracefully through the air, their faint yellow light resembling the last trembling flicker of a candle after burning all night—now bright, now dim.

The night was thick, and the night breeze brushed aside her veil, which was white. However, the girl's complexion was even paler than the veil, as if the dew on the reeds had frozen into a thin layer of frost in the light chill of the night.

Her inner energy naturally flowed through both the small and large meridians.

If Meng Jintang were to open the "[Learned Martial Arts]" interface, she would find that her "Mysterious Void Technique (I)" had unknowingly broken through a level, advancing to a higher level and finally stopping at "10000/10000 (Total Level 4, Current Level 4)."

[System: Under the moonlight, everything becomes enlightening. You have comprehended the martial art "Sword That Blooms from The Trees (Initial Form)," earning 1000 experience points and 5 free attribute points.]

[System: [Martial Arts Creation] function activated.]

Meng Jintang noticed the notification but remained in her contemplative state while watching the fireflies' flight. After a while, she turned to face Chen Shen and whispered, "I'm going back home now."

Chen Shen instinctively called out, "Miss Meng..." but then stopped abruptly.

After composing himself, he earnestly continued, "Miss Meng, for your great kindness and grace, I have no way to repay you. In the future, if you ever need my assistance, I will obey without hesitation."

Meng Jintang smiled gently and said, "No need to be so modest, Mr Chen. Farewell."

As she uttered the final word, her figure swayed lightly, and she disappeared completely into the distant, boundless night.

At Hanshan Sect, Sky-Residing Pavilion.

Although it was just the beginning of autumn, people outside were still making the most of the lingering summer. However, the temperature in the mountains was lower, and it decreased with higher altitudes.

Moreover, Meng Jintang had the [Cold Poison in Body] debuff, which required her to dress in long sleeves and pants even during the hottest days. Now, she had already taken extra precautions, covering her bed with a quilt for better health.

With no one else in the sect, Meng Jintang, who had risen early, didn't bother changing into outdoor clothes. She draped a blanket over herself and slipped on her slippers, then lazily walked out of her room.

She leisurely lit the stove first and, once the hot water had boiled, she brewed herself a cup of wolfberry and red date tea. The red dates were purchased from the town at the foot of the mountain, while the wolfberries were from the medicinal fields.

Meng Jintang hadn't expected that just by going down the mountain once, her martial arts proficiency would climb two levels, reaching 620.

Additionally, during the process of instructing Chen Shen, she had gained the special bonus of "[Mutual Learning and Growth]."

All these factors converged to create a particularly conducive state for enlightenment. She only glanced at the fireflies twice and was fortunate enough to acquire a relatively high-quality sword technique, the "Sword That Awakens Blooms from Brushing Against Trees."

"The autumn grasses merge as one, now and in the gentle evening breeze.

Soaring like a falling star, brushing against trees as if they were in bloom. 1”

The "blooms" that appeared from the trees were not real flowers but fireflies perched on the branches.

The newly comprehended martial art wasn't a fragment but carried a special label: "Initial Form."

When Meng Jintang opened the [Martial Arts Creation] interface, she saw three main categories: [Creation], [In Creation], and [Created].

Additionally, there was a function button labeled [Trimming and Refinement], which was currently in an inactive gray state.

Among them, "Sword That Blooms from The Trees" was listed under [In Creation], and there was a line of text that read, "Current Completeness: 3%."

When she opened the [Creation] function, as expected, the system informed Meng Jintang that she could currently only create sword techniques. She was limited by her own martial arts proficiency and could only create sword techniques up to level 2.

If the creation failed, it would trigger the [Mental and Spiritual Exhaustion] state, causing a comprehensive reduction in her character card attributes for a period of time.

Players on the forum had calculated that if a player continuously used the [Creation] function and selected the highest-level martial art they could create each time, the failure probability would accumulate.

The first failure had a probability of around 30%, the second around 60%, and by the third attempt, it's almost guaranteed to fail.

Similar negative accumulations reset approximately every ten days of in-game time. However, if someone created martial arts much lower than their own proficiency, there wasn't as much concern.

For example, if someone could create martial arts at level ten, but they chose to create a martial art at levels two or three, there was minimal negative impact.

"Sword That Blooms from The Trees" comprised eight techniques. In its complete state, it would be a level seven sword technique, far exceeding Meng Jintang's current limit for creation. Clearly, this was a special result born from her state of enlightenment.

Meng Jintang had previously comprehended martial arts like "Bear-Pard Strength", but at that time, there was no indication that she could create her own martial arts.

She contemplated this and realized that, on one hand, "Bear-Pard Strength" was a complete martial art with low difficulty, lacking room for further development.

It was highly likely that others in this world had already created the same martial art. Additionally, Meng Jintang remembered that during her first mountain climb, she had exhausted the true Qi in her Dantian, pushed her palms, and killed the Small Green Snake King.

The feeling of that moment was somewhat similar to a weaker version of "Bear-Pard Strength." Such simple power techniques were not deemed worthy of a special function by the system, as they were too straightforward and lacked complexity.

After reviewing the martial arts she had previously learned, Meng Jintang was somewhat in disagreement with the new function's statement that she could only create sword techniques.

Meng Jintang felt that her current approach was too limited. After all, she had crossed over into this world, and it was a real world for her.

She couldn't solely rely on the system's assistance. So, she got up from the recliner and immediately performed a set of techniques that did not exist in any martial arts sect in this world.

Her movements were graceful and elegant, with a commanding presence that resembled that of a predatory bird. It was clear that she was very familiar with these techniques.

This set of techniques included palm strikes, fist techniques, leg techniques, and more. While there were various movements and jumps throughout, remarkably, she never left the immediate area. It was a unique martial art that could be practiced continuously in a very confined space.

[System: With a heart like the moon illuminating a cloud-stream, everything leads to enlightenment. You have gained insights into a martial art called "Unnamed 1."]

[Unnamed 1]: 0/100 (Total Level: 0, Current Level: 0);]

The lack of judgment and experience points for a 0-level martial art did not dampen Meng Jintang's enthusiasm for creation. She happily renamed the new martial art with a name that is more familiar among players and has been personally practiced by many - "Eagle's Ascent."
