Three Revolutions Heavy Origin Art

A dangerous technique that requires the cultivator to voluntarily disperse their cultivation from late Foundation Establishment back to early, compressing true essence toward solidity to ease the Core Formation bottleneck.

Story context

This chapter is a pure information-explosion milestone. Han Li finally deciphers both golden pages from Li Huayuan’s cave, and what he finds will define his entire cultivation path for the rest of the arc. First up: a complete, thirteen-layer Azure Origin Sword Art that reaches all the way to Spirit Transformation—no holes, no missing pieces. Then comes the real bombshell: an auxiliary “Three Revolutions Heavy Origin Art” that claims to bypass the Core Formation bottleneck… by demanding the practitioner disperse their cultivation three times and start over. Han Li’s emotional rollercoaster—from ecstasy to horror to calculating acceptance—is a masterclass in the Mortal Stream’s trademark trade-off logic. Every shortcut has a price, and this one wants three decades of your life.

Why it matters

*Buckle up, cultivators—this chapter is where the long game gets real.* The Three Revolutions Heavy Origin Art is *not* a feel-good power-up. It’s a grueling, multi-decade commitment that asks Han Li to destroy his own progress three times on the off-chance that the fourth rebuild sticks. But that’s precisely why it fits the Mortal Stream so perfectly: there are no free lunches, only expensive investments with uncertain returns. Pay close attention to the tone shift in Han Li’s internal monologue—he goes from despair to manic joy to white-faced panic to cold calculation. The man never stays emotional for long; he always pivots back to logistics. Also, keep an eye on the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords—they’re a promise of future power that won’t pay off for a very, very long time. This is the kind of chapter that sets up payoffs hundreds of chapters later.
