Chapter 87: The Rising Dragon Over Rivers and Mountains Spiritual Body_2

Li Xuan only then understood what kind of transformation Xu Yan had undergone during his breakthrough.

“Your disciple Xu Yan, who has cultivated the cultivation technique you created, has broken through to the Innate Realm. Your mastery of the Innate Realm is a hundred times stronger than others at the same level.”

“Your disciple has elevated his Descending Dragon Palm to the third level, comprehending the true essence of the dragon’s might within it. Your mastery of the third level of the Descending Dragon Palm and the true essence of the dragon’s might is complete.”

“Your disciple’s jade bones illustrate the mountains and rivers, with dragons soaring within, transforming into the dragon-soaring mountains and rivers spiritual bones. You’ve attained the dragon-soaring mountains and rivers’ spiritual body.”

The dragon-soaring mountains and rivers’ spiritual body!

Li Xuan was extremely excited; Xu Yan’s breakthrough had brought him enormous gains.

Strength instantly skyrocketed.

Having obtained the Innate Spiritual Bones not long ago, he now had also acquired the dragon-soaring mountains and rivers’ spiritual body.

At this moment, Li Xuan perceived the mysteries of the spiritual body. Without the need to circulate cultivation techniques, nature’s spiritual energy proactively entered his body, constantly refining into True Qi.

He had a natural affinity with nature’s spiritual energy and all spiritual beings.

The dragon-soaring mountains and rivers’ spiritual body made it feel as if there was a dragon soaring within him, with mountains and rivers hidden away, containing immense power.

“With my current strength, I should be able to travel unhindered in the Inner Domain, right?”

“I can even thrash Great Grandmasters, can’t I?”

Li Xuan thought excitedly.

However, the details of the Inner Domain should not be taken lightly; Xue Wuxin and Xie Lingfeng might not fully comprehend the secrets of the Inner Domain.

A Grandmaster in cultivation might not be at the pinnacle.

Moreover, even among Great Grandmasters, there can be vast differences in strength.

Xue Wuxin practices demonic cultivation techniques, which seem powerful, but are actually flawed.

Xie Lingfeng, after all, is young.

So, one should not get carried away, and must never assume that there are no strong people in this world.

Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong below, hoping his second disciple would also show some impressive progress.

Since Xu Yan had already made his breakthrough, Li Xuan stopped paying close attention and left directly to return to the small courtyard.

Feeling in high spirits today, he gave some pointers to Shi’er and incidentally taught him the technique for Viscera Refinement.

And a wisp of the Mountains and Rivers Sword Intent emerged, enabling Shi’er to refine his bones even faster.

Shi’er was overjoyed. With this rate of Bone Refinement, it wouldn’t be long before he completed the tempering of his copper bones.

He no longer hoped for golden bones; once copper bones were refined, he would start the Viscera Refinement and strive to enter the gate of Martial Arts as soon as possible.

After his breakthrough, Xu Yan did not immediately return but continued to consolidate his realm.

Meng Chong stood under the blazing sun, practicing the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, and at this moment he entered a mysterious state.

His mind’s great sun connected with the great sun in the sky, and waves of fiery breath filled his body, the lustrous golden light shining brilliantly. His blood and qi forged a bell increasingly stronger, and his flesh was rapidly becoming more powerful.

“The great sun in my heart resonates with the great sun above; I’ve finally done it. My cultivation speed has increased, I feel as though I’m growing stronger inside a furnace.”

Meng Chong was extremely excited.

He felt he wasn’t far away from mastering the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield.

Xu Yan returned on the third day after his breakthrough.

“Master, I’ve broken through to the Innate Realm.”

Xu Yan said excitedly.

“Very good, my disciple, you’ve truly stepped onto the path of Martial Arts. Do not slack off; strive for early mastery of the Innate Realm.”

Li Xuan said with a pleased look.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan replied respectfully.

After glancing at Shi’er who was in the midst of true cultivation, Xu Yan sensed a faint trace of Sword Intent seemingly lingering around Shi’er, which seemed to accelerate his bone refinement process.

“Master, what’s happening with Shi’er?”

“Shi’er’s aptitude is average; his cultivation is too slow. A bit of Sword Intent makes him cultivate a little faster.”

Li Xuan said with a smile, “Copper bones are basically his limit, but by achieving that, it means he has left the ranks of the lower level Martial Artists.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan seemed thoughtful and said, “Master, can I also use the Sword Intent to help my father and the others to complete Bone Refinement swiftly?”

Li Xuan said with a smile, “Martial Arts foundation depends on oneself, step by step, solid cultivation, and comprehension of the insights gained from practice. Forcing growth will ultimately lead to an unstable foundation.

“However, if there’s no hope for golden bones, it’s indeed not a problem. You may use your Sword Intent to assist in Bone Refinement; it’s just copper bones, after all, and can hardly be considered as forcing growth.”

“You must gauge this carefully and ensure that your Sword Intent does not harm anyone,” Li Xuan cautioned.

Xu Yan had a moment of realization, thinking to himself, “As long as one does not possess the prodigious talent of ancient prodigies, one can sharpen oneself with Sword Intent without worrying about rushing the process and compromising one’s foundation.”

With this thought, Xu Yan had an epiphany, “So, that’s it. My master had already seen through my potential as a prodigy of ancient times, which is why he did not use Sword Intent to assist me in Bone Refinement. Instead, he made me lay down a solid foundation in martial arts, step by step, imprint by imprint.”

“Yes, Master, I understand,” he said.

Xu Yan nodded in excitement.

Since Sword Intent could assist his parents and accelerate their Bone Refinement, this was a good thing. He did not believe that his parents had the innate capacity of ancient prodigies.

Besides, they had started cultivating martial arts at a later age, which was inevitably a bit late.

Managing to cultivate copper bones was already quite an achievement.

“Why are Shi’er’s copper bones a bit weak?” Xu Yan asked with curiosity.

Shi’er was in the phase of cultivating copper bones, yet seemed to be weaker than when Xu Yan underwent the same phase.

“Even within the same level of copper bones, there are differences,” Li Xuan explained.

“I see!” Xu Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he asked, “Master, in terms of jade bones, am I strong or weak compared to others?”

Li Xuan chuckled to himself, thinking, “Strong or weak? Aside from myself, your jade bones are certainly the strongest, especially now that they’ve further transformed into the Dragon Ascension Spiritual Bones.”

However, what he said was, “Disciple, as long as your martial heart is clear and you carry the conviction of never losing to others throughout your life, then you will never lose to anyone!”

Xu Yan became thoughtful.

“What Master is saying implies that there are stronger jade bones than mine. But as long as I remain resolute in my martial journey, I can catch up with, and even surpass them!”

With a determined gaze and high fighting spirit, he declared, “Master, rest assured, my martial heart will not falter. I will always cultivate with the belief of never losing to anyone and won’t be knocked down by any setback!”

“Good! With such conviction, I believe you will not lose to anyone,” Li Xuan affirmed warmly.

Yet, he mentally added, “Except to me.”

“Master, Xie Lingfeng and another person want to visit you. Would you like to meet them?” Xu Yan brought up the matter concerning Xie Lingfeng.

Li Xuan pondered.

“Xie Lingfeng comes from the Inner Realm’s Sword Venerate Cliff, which is an incredibly strong force within the Inner Domain, and he has an impressive background, surely possessing numerous martial arts techniques.”

“If I can refer to the techniques of the Inner Domain, creating new techniques will be much easier and ensure they are not weak in comparison.”

“Both of them have been thoroughly convinced by Xu Yan that they have been practicing pseudo Martial Arts, and they must be thinking about how to switch to the true Martial Arts.”

“A Grandmaster’s martial artist’s Inner Qi is, in fact, similar to True Qi. To convert it into True Qi, one simply needs to purify it, which will enhance it, turning it into True Qi, though it certainly won’t be Innate True Qi.”

Xie Lingfeng’s wish to see him was definitely for martial arts matters.

A Grandmaster Martial Artist’s Inner Qi is also True Qi, just referred to differently in the Inner Domain.

However, it is much inferior to Innate True Qi.

To convert it into True Qi, one essentially needs to purify it to enhance its quality.

And the method? Li Xuan, albeit a Great Grandmaster of the Innate Realm and possessing Innate Spiritual Bones and a Dragon Ascension Spiritual Body, was far superior in harnessing nature’s spiritual energy compared to other martial artists.

Purifying martial Inner Qi and transforming it into true True Qi wasn’t a challenge for him.

It was just a matter of slightly tweaking the method of condensing and refining qi and blood into Innate True Qi to achieve it.

Of course, the True Qi derived from martial Inner Qi would definitely be weaker than the pure Innate True Qi.

But, that is relative to martial artists with golden or jade bones. For those with copper bones or less, it might not be much weaker, and after all, Inner Realm Martial Arts Inner Qi also ranges in strength.

Xie Lingfeng’s Martial Arts Inner Qi was stronger than that of Xue Wuxin.

If he were to refine it into True Qi, although it wouldn’t match Xu Yan’s Innate True Qi, it would certainly not be weaker than the Innate True Qi of copper-boned warriors like Shi’er. After all, Xie Lingfeng was also a prodigy from the Inner Domain.

“That’s fine, let him come over when he has time,” Li Xuan nodded.

Xie Lingfeng had a background in the Inner Domain, and Xu Yan would sooner or later venture there. Moreover, Xie Lingfeng was a decent person, so adding connections in the Inner Domain for his disciple was a good thing.

Besides, should a conflict ever arise between true and pseudo Martial Arts, having an extra source of strength wouldn’t hurt.

Most importantly, they could potentially acquire Inner Realm martial arts techniques from Xie Lingfeng and his companion. With those as a reference, creating subsequent techniques would also become easier.
