Long Chen/Skills

== Main Cultivation Techniques ==
=== Nine Star Hegemon Body Art ===
It is a Cultivation Technique that focuses on cultivating the nine stars within one's body rather than the dantian; in fact, in normal circumstances, people who have a dantian will be annihilated by the overwhelming power unleashed by the technique. Rather than calling it a body cultivation-focused Cultivation Technique, holding a strong body is more of a prerequisite to utilize the full power of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. Because of its origins, it deviates from the normal Cultivation Path and develops an additional 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Heavenstages for each Cultivation Realm, used to further strengthen the user so that they can support the power of the Nine Stars' Battle Armors.
==== Divine Ring: ====
Once one has reached the Blood Condensation Realm, the 13 Cyclones formed within one's dantian will connect with each other in a circular manner, forming a Divine Ring in the sky. Depending on how many Stars you have cultivated, more and more colored rings will appear near each other to form a pseudo rainbow. There will be more changes the further one goes with the technique. The main function of the Divine Ring is to absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth in a constant manner to resupply the body with more Spiritual Qi, and strengthen the base strength of the user. In certain circumstances, the Divine Ring can be used to counter Paragon Arts and weaken them to a certain level.
*Nine Stars: The Nine Stars represents half of the core of the technique, with each of them being as great as a whole new dantian positioned in different parts of one's body. Even if they are simply alternative dantians, the strength that they carry is way greater than a simple additional strength. Some of them also have particular characteristics.
*#Fengfu: Positioned in the bottom of the left foot. When fully developed, one will be unmatched among normal cultivators.
*#Alioth: Positioned in the center of the right palm. When fully developed, one will be unmatched among favored.
*#Controlling Fate: Positioned in the bottom of the right foot.
*#Enlightenment Palace: Positioned in the center of the left palm.
*#Divine Gate: Positioned in the spot between the eyebrows. When fully developed, one will be unmatched among normal Empyreans, and it also has the ability to counter soul-invading techniques.
*#Nether Gate: Positioned above the Dantian.
*#Violet Tower: Positioned below the Dantian.
*#Nirvana Infusion: Positioned to the left of the Dantian.
*#(9th Star): Positioned in the heart(?).
==== Nine Stars' Battle Armor ====
The Battle Armors included in this technique represent the peak performance of the Nine Stars Hegemon Body Art. When invoked, there doesn't seem to be any visible change except for the presence of stars within one's eyes, which correspond to the kind of Battle Armor summoned. The Fengfu Battle Armor will summon a star in one's eyes, while the 2nd Star Battle Armor will create two stars, and so on. When it is utilized, the physical power of the user skyrockets to absurd levels. However, one's body must be strong enough to support the energy of the Battle Armor, or there is a great chance that the body will explode from the overwhelming amount of energy. Each Battle Armor can be utilized only when the number of stars corresponding to the Battle Armor is fully transformed.

==== Hegemon Dao ====
This is the second half of the core of the technique. To utilize the Nine Stars Hegemon Body Art, one must cultivate the Dao of the Hegemon, which dictates that one must be domineering, a tyrant among people, and kill whoever doesn't want to submit to you. When the Hegemon Dao is manifested, it will cause the user to become a merciless tyrant, but the power they will possess will be increased manyfolds. While it is possible to suppress the passive nature of the Hegemon Dao, it will cause the cultivation technique to weaken. As for the Hegemon Dao's influence, it only gets stronger the further one proceeds with their cultivation path. The Hegemon Dao cultivated through the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art is also able to suppress other Daos, which lets Long Chen to utilize a Sword Dao similar to Yue Zifeng, and even increase its effective power.
==== Eight Gates ====
When Long Chen breaks through to the Human Emperor realm he gains the Eight Gates which seem to be vast sources of astral energy, it's such a colossal amount that he almost dies when he cracks the first gate open. Eventually he realizes his physical body is once again not strong enough so he starts weighted training. He trains until he can open the Gate of Life completely. After a while he concludes that the Gate of Life shouldn't be the first gate, and after a thorough round of testing this is the order he is sure of. (6179)
# Gate of Opening
# Gate of Rest (Healing)
# Gate of Life
# Gate of Pain
# Gate of Closing (Limit)
# Gate of View (Joy)
# Gate of Shock (Wonder)
# Gate of Death
When he reaches the 10th Heavenstage of Human Emperor his body becomes strong enough to open 5 gates at once, but then they suddenly form a pentagram which multiplies their power output by 100x far exceeding Long Chen's limits. Through some testing he realizes the gates are following the original pattern of his Nine Star Battle Armor formations before he deviated at the 5th star. 
Other uses are as of yet unknown, but some readers may recognize these from the popular anime Naruto. Some variation does appear in translation hence the optional names in parentheses.

==== Seven Supreme Yang Technique ====
Chapter 2885
This was a technique from the ancient era. Back then, it was the core treasure of the Seven Supreme Gate. The Seven Supreme Gate had been extremely famous back in the ancient era, with an inheritance stretching back almost thirty thousand years.
However, due to how long ago it was, much of the history had already become a legend. The Seven Supreme Yang Technique was also lost in the flow of history.
This technique was based on seven kinds of energy: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning. In order to use this technique, a person had to possess all these seven kinds of energy.
When people were born, they were born with innate talent. But if it wasn’t discovered, it would be concealed. Perhaps if other attributes were too strong, some weaker attributes wouldn’t manifest.
However, the Seven Supreme Yang Technique would draw out all those seven kinds of energy and turn them into seeds to nourish.
After that, seven acupuncture points were opened for the seven seeds to grow. That way, a person would come to possess seven kinds of different energy.
An ordinary person would definitely face contradicting flows of energy with seven seeds of energy. That would turn a genius into a cripple. But the creator of the Seven Supreme Yang Technique blazed an entirely new kind of cultivation path, making those seven forms of energy form a mysterious formation inside the body. When it was activated, six forms of energy became fuel for only one kind of energy. When those streams of power merged, their power was astonishing.
However, regretfully, this technique was now incomplete. The important method of how to transfer the streams of energy had been lost, and only some profound diagrams were left behind. No one was able to rebuild this technique from those fragments, thus, this tome had been thrown in here.
==== Starry River of the Sky Art ====
Chapter 2889
The Starry River of the Sky Art used the astral energy inside of the body to connect with the astral energy of the heavens, manifesting a formation that used the astral energy of the world.
An ordinary person only had a single astral space inside of their body. With it as the seed, utilizing so much astral energy was truly very dangerous.
Using the power of the soul to condense a formation and then using the astral space as a core to draw in the astral energy of the cosmos. If you were lacking Spiritual Strength, there was no way to do such a thing.
However, if you drew in just slightly too much astral energy, it would cause the astral space inside of the body to explode. The cultivator would be directly blown up.
Furthermore, when condensing the formation, the mind went on a mental journey outside of the heavens. It would be distracted by demons attempting to invade the soul. If a heart-devil formed from this, the Spiritual Strength would go out of control. It wouldn’t be a body explosion this time but instead a soul ignition that burnt the soul away until there was nothing left.
It could be said that it was an extremely unconventional technique. No one knew how the creator had managed to create such a thing.
However, after creating it, he didn’t leave behind a single disciple to carry on his legacy. It was because all his disciples died.
Later on, this technique was recorded and spread widely. The Starry Sky Saint didn’t wish for his life’s work, this peerless immortal ability, to be forgotten just like that.
Thus, this was no secret art. Many people knew of it, but all the large sects treated it as a forbidden technique that disciples were not allowed to practice.
Throughout history, some geniuses had managed to cultivate this technique. They made astonishing advancements, sweeping through those in the same realm. However, in the middle of their cultivation, most of them died. No one was able to cultivate it to the later stages.
That was why it was split into three scrolls. The first scroll could be studied by everyone. But the second and third scrolls couldn’t be taken out for fear that people would be bedeviled and unable to extricate themselves, ending up with them losing their lives to the yellow springs. There were far too many cases of people dying miserable deaths while cultivating this technique. 
Later on Long Chen finds an inheritance and because of the progress he's made and his relation to the NSHBA he discovers the entire Starry River of the Sky Art and proceeds to teach it to everyone around him, they in turn continue to spread the art around the entire world forming a new sect with the unaware Long Chen as it's Sect Master.

== Other Traits ==
Superior Intellect: His immense Spiritual Strength greatly helps him with his intelligence, increasing his ability to remember what he is seeing and reading. Combined with his familiarity with his own body, he can easily learn any Battle Skill. Intelligence must not be confused with Wisdom, which is acquired through the many life-and-death moments he went through, and the various experiences he faced after his reincarnation.
Master Strategist: As someone who has grown under the wing of a marquis in the secular world, he is familiar with many kinds of formations and strategies that are normally not present in the martial world due to the importance of one's cultivation rather than a group's total strength, such as his Dragonblood Legion. He can also come out with ideas that normal cultivators will never be able to think of because of these origins and his different perspective.
Charismatic Leader: Even though he has no potential to become a Ruler, his ideal that friends must be protected with one's own flesh and blood gave him the kind of charisma that great generals would possess. Thanks to this kind of charisma, he was able to form the Dragonblood Legion, the strongest army in the Martial Heaven Continent, formed by people with different origins but sharing the same life and death experiences, which made them bond into a single large family with sworn brothers and sisters.
Superpowered Strength: Because of the requirements of the Nine Stars Hegemon Body Art, Long Chen is forced to strengthen his body beyond the limits of a human, to the point where he requires the assistance of the essence blood of a True Dragon and his base cultivation realm to keep up with the Nine Stars' Battle Armor. Because of that, his physical strength is unimaginable, and can even match the physical strength of a Xuan Beast.
Abnormally-Large Spiritual Strength: After the Pill Emperor has been transmigrated into Long Chen's body, his Spiritual Strength spiked up to unimaginable proportions, where he could even sense around 20 meters from his body with his Spiritual Senses, and without even starting to cultivate. Even after sharing a portion of his Spiritual Strength with Meng Qi, the quantity was still enough to destroy the testing crystal in the Pill Tower if he didn't hold back, suggesting that his Spiritual Strength is beyond the high tier's Heaven Grade.
