I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter 194 Above Tongxuan, Martial Arts Divine Intent_2
 

“`

Not a single one escaped!

Even four half-step Celestials, unless they encountered a true Martial Arts Celestial, would not all fail to escape!

Even if I made a move, I couldn’t kill all four half-step Celestials, let alone the dozens of peak Great Grandmasters included.

Only a true Martial Arts Celestial could possess such terrifying strength!

The red-robed, green-faced man spoke in a deep voice, “Inner Domain, why would there be a Martial Arts Celestial? Rumor has it that the Demon Lord came out from the Spiritual Realm Gate. You are the Demon Lord’s true confidant; you understand the hidden secrets better than anyone else.”

The Demon Child fell silent.

In a trance, it seemed as though he went back to his childhood, when he went up the mountain to collect herbs and saw a man lying on the ground, covered in blood and gasping for breath.

He crushed the Spiritual Medicine he had painstakingly harvested and poured it into the man’s mouth, and then called for his parents to save him.

Because of this act, the trajectory of his life changed.

That man taught him Martial Arts, took him by his side, and together they slaughtered Martial Artists and established the demon cult, until that man suddenly mysteriously disappeared, and he returned to this small mountain village.

“Demon Child, don’t you want to become a true Martial Arts Celestial? The Demon Lord has already vanished—whether he entered the Spiritual Realm Gate or died, do you not ponder in your heart?

“Do you really plan to grow old and die in this mountain village?” the red-robed, green-faced man said gravely.

The Demon Child raised his head and let out a sigh, saying, “If he had returned to the Spiritual Realm Gate, he would have taken me with him. Since there are Martial Arts Celestials in the Inner Domain…”

The red-robed, green-faced man instantly understood the Demon Child’s implication. If there truly were a Martial Arts Celestial on Canglan Island, could the Demon Lord’s disappearance be related to it?

“With our power, we cannot oppose a Martial Arts Celestial. In the Inner Domain, a peak Great Grandmaster is already the pinnacle of Martial Arts, and who wouldn’t want to advance further?

“Red Jue, you know what you relied on to take that step forward; it was the spirit and will contained within the fifth-grade Stone You Grass that allowed you to take it.

“If there is a path beyond Great Grandmasters, but it’s controlled by someone else, what do you think all the Great Grandmasters in the world would feel?” the Demon Child spoke with a fierce gleam in his eyes.

The red-robed, green-faced man took a deep breath and spoke with gravity, “Ultimately, we must take this step. There’s no other way. We will use the Inner Domain’s Martial Artists to coerce that Martial Arts Celestial.”

“I will make a move, and the other half-step Celestials in the Inner Domain, they will also make a move, especially some of those who are old and nearing the end of their lives.”

The Demon Child lowered his head and continued carving the statue.

The red-robed, green-faced man turned to leave, “I await the grand arrival of the Demon Child at any time!”

Once the red-robed, green-faced man disappeared, the Demon Child finally stopped his carving, his gaze profound. The image of that spirited figure who once dominated the world surfaced in his mind.

“Uncle Blood Spirit, did you die by his hand? You said you were a Divine Refinement Celestial, a being at the pinnacle of Celestials, and you bravely promised to take me through the Spiritual Realm Gate…”

In this Inner Domain, no one understood the Demon Lord better than he did.

…

The Green-faced Forces, along with the Demon Child and some other powerhouses, were brewing a storm, gathering Great Grandmasters from all over to threaten Canglan Island. Of course, Li Xuan knew nothing of this.

Naturally, even if he were aware, he wouldn’t care.

With his current strength, even if all the Great Grandmasters in the world attacked, what could they do?

Atop a mountain on Canglan Island, Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the vast Cang River, with Xu Yan respectfully standing beside him.

After a period of consolidation, the Sudden Wind Sword Intent had reached Perfection, and Xu Yan’s Sword Dao had also improved, not far from achieving Sword Heart Clarity Perfection.

Furthermore, the understanding of the Tongxuan Realm was becoming deeper.

The Minor Achievement of the Tongxuan Realm was not too far off.

“My disciple, you have already reached the Tongxuan Realm. Do you have some insight into what lies beyond Tongxuan?” Li Xuan asked.

Today, he would transmit to Xu Yan the fourth Realm of Martial Arts Techniques, which were above Tongxuan.

“Master, above Great Grandmasters lies the Martial Arts Celestial, and Martial Arts Celestials cultivate the consciousness of the spirit. Is it the same beyond Tongxuan?” Xu Yan said respectfully.

“The three Realms of Martial Arts—qi and blood, Innate, Tongxuan—all speak ultimately of cultivating the mysterious within the human body, utilizing the flesh to Control the power of Tongxuan.

“The fourth Realm of Martial Arts is about cultivating what is beyond the body’s mysteries, cultivating the Divine Intent of Martial Arts!” Li Xuan spoke with solemnity.

“`

Martial Arts Fourth Realm, above Tongxuan Realm, how to cultivate, how to transition, was a concern for Li Xuan when Meng Chong nearly died at the hands of that “Senior Wu,” and realized the other was possessed.

From that point, Li Xuan had an idea and used it as a trigger to start creating the cultivation methods for the Martial Arts Fourth Realm.

As hypothesized, above the Great Grandmaster, one cultivates the Divine Soul!

Only with a Divine Soul does one possess the power to take over another’s body.

Whether it’s the master of Yinlou Pavilion or the several men with green faces, they are all half a step away from becoming Celestials, having not yet condensed a Divine Soul, only a strong spirit body, and not yet transformed into a Divine Soul.

Still, using the half-step Celestials as a reference, Li Xuan could roughly determine that whether the Celestials refined their spirit bodies or called it Divine Soul,

Both were rather insubstantial and not powerful enough.

Likewise, with the cultivation of Divine Soul, there were distinctions in strength.

Above Tongxuan Realm, Li Xuan had confirmed the direction of his cultivation, cultivating the Divine Intent of Martial Arts, which was a critical Realm to reach after realizing that possibly above the Great Grandmaster, one might be cultivating the Divine Soul.

Li Xuan, to keep his Martial Arts creations always stronger, had racked his brains and made them as mystical yet self-consistent as possible, seamlessly connecting them to the Tongxuan Realm.

After consecutively killing half-step Celestials, Li Xuan gained tremendous confidence in this.

“Martial Arts Divine Intent?”

Xu Yan’s heart was throbbing with excitement, he focused intently, afraid of missing the slightest bit.

Li Xuan spoke solemnly, “Open the mud pill, nurture the Spirit Pedestal, condense the Divine Intent; the shape of Divine Intent is the foundation of the Primordial Spirit…”

Martial Arts Fourth Realm, Divine Intent Realm!

The cultivation of the Divine Intent Realm lies in opening the mud pill palace, nurturing the Spirit Pedestal, and condensing Martial Arts Divine Intent on the Spirit Pedestal.

Li Xuan had refined this theory after much deliberation, initially worried that the Martial Arts Divine Intent, condensed in the Divine Intent Realm, wasn’t strong enough.

However, after encountering the half-step Celestials, he found that the Divine Intent Realm still retained a significant advantage.

Li Xuan continued to explain the Divine Intent Realm: “The shape of Divine Intent is like the true self, feeling the Domain on the Spirit Pedestal, condensing the Will of the Earth, transforming it into one’s own intent, refining the shape of the Divine Intent, this is the foundation of the Primordial Spirit…”

After the explanation, Li Xuan raised his hand and pointed to the location of the mud pill palace, saying, “Martial Arts Fourth Realm, open the mud pill palace, nurture the Spirit Pedestal, if the mud pill palace is not opened, the soul and Divine Spirit cannot feel, the Spirit Pedestal cannot be built, naturally everything is just empty talk.

“Therefore, the first priority is to open the mud pill palace, nurture the Spirit Pedestal, condense the Divine Intent, and shape it like the true self.

“Condense the Will of the Earth as one’s own intent, refine the shape of the Earth as the Divine Body; my intent is the Domain’s Intent, my form is the Domain’s Form.

“Where the Divine Intent goes is as the Domain’s Intent, the Domain’s Intent must not be defied!”

Xu Yan listened so intently, his mind wandered to the mystical, mumbling, “The Domain’s Intent is my intent, the Domain’s Form is my form; my condensing of Divine Intent is like the Domain’s Intent, the Domain’s Intent must not be defied!”

In that instant, he seemed to see himself where his Divine Intent reached, like the descent of the Domain’s Intent, irresistible by anyone, defied by no one!

Those who go against it will be annihilated, those who defy it will be executed, all in the blink of an eye!

How powerful was that!

Martial Celestials were merely spiritual oppression, suppressing the consciousness of Martial Artists, whereas Martial Arts Divine Intent was like the Domain’s Intent.

Those who defy the Domain’s Intent can be executed with a single thought!

Under the Divine Intent, all are as mere ants!

Xu Yan was deeply shocked; he felt that even if he reached Perfection in Tongxuan Realm, he would be unable to resist a Martial Artist of the Divine Intent Realm, almost unable to contend.

Unless his own Sword Intent was already powerful enough to contend with the Martial Arts Divine Intent!

However, what if the opponent also comprehended Sword Intent?

How powerful would the Sword Intent controlled by a Warrior of the Divine Intent Realm be?

Xu Yan realized that the Divine Intent Realm was a watershed, a significant transformation and leap, hence no matter how powerful the Tongxuan Realm was, it could not contend with the Divine Intent Realm.

Tongxuan blends with nature’s spiritual energy, possessing the mysterious power of the Domain, yet can it contend with the Domain’s Intent?

It cannot!

Tongxuan might be able to oppose Martial Celestials, but it could hardly reverse the fighters of the Divine Intent Realm.

In an instant, Xu Yan suddenly felt that the so-called Martial Celestials were so weak, unworthy of the name “Celestial.”

On Xu Yan’s body, Sword Intent surged as if it wanted to merge with the Domain, to act on behalf of the Domain’s Intent, as mountains and rivers emerged, as if transforming into the entire shape of the Domain.

In his mind, inspirations surged, the Martial Arts Techniques of the Divine Intent Realm emerged one by one, the more he contemplated, the more mystical and unfathomable they felt.

The more he sensed an unparalleled power.

My intent is the Domain’s Intent, my form is the Domain’s Form!
