I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Chapter 272: Contest of the Arrogant, Qingzhou’s Yuling Mansion
 

Xu Yan and his companions, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but sigh; it turned out that the Wanshi Martial Arts Institute had once been so formidable, yet it ultimately couldn’t stand against the Spirit Sect and the ancestral families.

The Spiritual Realm is, after all, dominated by the Spirit Sect and the noble families; they forcibly erased the history of the Wanshi Martial Arts Institute from the memories of Loose Cultivators.

Wen Yong continued, “This is what the elders in our Wanshi Alliance said. After the calamity brought by the Blood Demon, following the competition for geniuses that shattered Wanshi, there was a time when the situation for Loose Cultivators in the Spiritual Realm was utterly miserable.”

“The Spirit Sect issued an order, forbidding anyone to spread, promote, or possess anything related to the Wanshi Martial Arts Institute, including its symbols and the like. Anyone found disobeying would be killed without mercy.”

“Informers would be handsomely rewarded. They were to assist the Spirit Sect families in rebuilding the order of the Spiritual Realm and widely circulate the slogans issued by the Spirit Sect families, with rewards for doing so.”

“Those who made significant contributions would be granted entry into the families of the Spirit Sect and would become one of their martial artists.”

“That was a dark era, in which many strong-willed and unyielding Loose Cultivators were killed.”

“There were innumerable instances of Loose Cultivators betraying their friends, and even their brothers and family members. Truly a sorrowful time!”

Xu Yan and his companions fell silent.

The plight of the Spiritual Realm’s Loose Cultivators was far worse compared to those in the Inner Domain.

They also understood why the Spiritual Sect Warriors looked down on those from the Inner Domain like dogs, all because of their aloof and arrogant mentality.

“Our Wanshi Alliance, upholding our principle, strives to break the existing situation, to fight for a place for all Loose Cultivators in the world. Some of our elders have experienced those dark times in the past.”

“Some elders even witnessed the disaster of the Blood Demon!”

Wen Yong exclaimed with a heavy sigh.

Being a Loose Cultivator at the bottom of the Spiritual Realm, Fang Hao understood all too well the plight of those at the bottom; he understood how the Spirit Sect and noble families looked down upon them from their lofty positions.

“As the Alliance Hierarch of Yuzhou, I will certainly lead the Yuzhou Alliance to sit on an equal footing with the Spirit Sect families!”

Fang Hao declared solemnly.

“I, Wen Yong, will most certainly assist the Alliance Hierarch with all of my might to create a great cause!”

Wen Yong declared with gravity.

Then, he turned to Xu Yan with a serious look, “Brother Xu, you should understand the influence that this competition of the finest talents will bring— even the once mighty Wanshi Martial Arts Institute fell apart because of it.”

“The rekindling of the competition is surely not a good thing. A single pair of hands cannot defeat four!”

Li Xuan had been silently listening, and he marveled inwardly at the strength of the Spirit Sect families, which far exceeded his expectations.

Even a force like the Wanshi Martial Arts Institute had been shattered.

“There won’t be dozes of Divine Refinement Celestial peaks or existences above the Divine Refinement who come to suppress me, Xu Yan’s teacher, will there?”

Such thoughts caused Li Xuan’s heart to tighten.

Wen Yong was right; two hands could not defeat four!

However, though he was one man, he wasn’t alone in battle when using the Divine Martial Body.

And with the number of Great Wilderness Warriors continually increasing, the second Divine Martial Body wouldn’t be far off.

Li Xuan assessed his own power and quickly regained his composure.

“No need to panic. With all my four Martial Arts combined, and with Formation, Domain Qimen, and the Sword Array… When I unleash all my strength and set up the Great Slaughter Formation, I will kill as many Divine Refinement beings as come my way; I am much stronger than the Blood Demon was.”

“Even those above the Divine Refinement are not impossible to defeat. Should they infuriate me, with one Great Formation, I could destroy a Transcendent Spirit Sect and let everyone in the Spiritual Realm know—I’m far more ruthless than the Blood Demon.”

With this thought, Li Xuan immediately relaxed.

I, invincible in the Spiritual Realm!

“If I ascend to the Divine Skill Realm, I will indeed be fearless.”

Li Xuan mused to himself.

He wondered when Xu Yan would be able to comprehend a Martial Arts cultivation technique from the Divine Skill Realm.

Once that happened, he would truly be fearless.

With Divine Skills unleashed, he could easily obliterate beings even above the Divine Refinement.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yan said earnestly, “I understand Brother Wen’s concerns, but I, Xu Yan, never fear any so-called prodigies. I have surpassed the prodigies of the ancient past.”

“I shall surely accept this battle. The saying ‘a single pair of hands cannot defeat four’ only applies to the weak.”

“A true strong man can subdue the entire world alone, be they four hands, eight hands, or sixteen hands—all are but chickens and dogs!”

The level of his master’s realm was beyond imagination. What did Divine Refinement Celestials amount to? No matter how many come, they were just marching to their deaths.

“To reach the pinnacle of the Martial Arts, one must invariably step on countless strong adversaries.”

Xu Yan thought to himself.

With the legacy of the Red Abyss, the Radiant Body, and a renowned reputation, the name of Sword God Xu Yan was not yet resounding enough in the Spiritual Realm. Since his adversaries had come to him seeking to enhance their prestige, he would naturally oblige.

Wen Yong looked at Xu Yan and fell silent for a moment. He, too, was a celebrated figure in the Yuzhou Wanshi Alliance, yet he realized that he lacked Xu Yan’s self-confidence and pride.

“Brother Xu, if you are confident, then let us fight—to amplify our prestige in the Spiritual Realm and suppress the true inheritors of the Spirit Sect!”

Wen Yong took a deep breath and then voiced his support.

“That’s the spirit. Since I, Xu Yan, dared to accept, I naturally have the confidence. I never do anything I am unsure of.”

“Brother Wen, your arrival is timely. Take these pills; they will help you in your cultivation.”

Xu Yan smiled.

He handed over two bottles of pills to Wen Yong.

Wen Yong had given him Spirit Jade marrow, which helped him achieve a breakthrough to the Divine Intent Realm; now, giving Wen Yong these pills would assist him in cultivating faster, hastening his breakthrough to Divine Refinement.

“This…thank you, Brother Xu.”

Wen Yong bowed and accepted the pills.

After reminiscing for a while, Wen Yong and Yu Gao bid farewell and left to investigate the movements of the Yu Divine Sect and Lu Xinting.
