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

Mystery (Seeking Monthly Ticket) _2

Only after battling the Great Grandmaster did 1 realize that Inner Realm Martial Arts holds some merit.

“Today, I will teach you a martial arts cultivation technique that transcends the Innate Realm. Absorb and understand it well; once you comprehend the technique and transcend the Innate Realm, there will be no more bottlenecks for you,” Li Xuan turned to face Xu Yan and said.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan respectfully replied.

“Theoretically, the Innate Realm corresponds to the Inner Realm’s Grandmaster Realm, and above the Innate Realm is equivalent to the Great Grandmaster Realm. But remember, never underestimate the Inner Realm’s Martial Arts.

“The path of martial arts requires assimilating the strengths of others to remedy your weaknesses, understanding oneself, deciphering the mysteries of heaven and earth, and fathoming the infinite Dao. Only then can you be invincible on the path of martial arts,” Li Xuan said solemnly.

Xu Yan bowed and acknowledged, “Disciple will follow Master’s teachings!”

“Hmm.

Li Xuan nodded.

He held the Jade Ruyi in one hand, and his other hand was held behind his back. He stood on the hillside, looking out at the horizon, and slowly said, “The Innate Realm is true detachment from the mundane world and the true entry into the path of Martial Arts.

“And transcending the Innate Realm brings us closer to deciphering the mysteries between heaven and earth.”

Xu Yan was shocked in his heart. Did transcending the Innate Realm already involve unraveling the mysteries between heaven and earth?

Considering the might of the Great Grandmaster, that formidable aura akin to divine might, is it related to this?

He pressed his ears closely to listen.

Li Xuan continued, “The realm above the Innate Realm is called the Tongxuan Realm!”

Tongxuan Realm!

Li Xuan had developed this as the third stage, which he determined after repeated deliberations and taking Inner Realm cultivation techniques into account.

“What is Tongxuan? It means understanding the mysteries, and also understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth. How to possess the power of Tongxuan?

n

First and foremost is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

H

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the foundation of martial arts and the basis for the changes in the mysteries of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy that a human body can absorb is limited, while the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is infinite.

“To comprehend Tongxuan, we must merge with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, utilizing the spiritual energy around us. All the changes in Tongxuan encapsulate this.”

Li Xuan elucidated the theory behind Tongxuan Realm, word by word.

Xu Yan was filled with excitement, his mind already picturing the impressive scene of being in the Tongxuan Realm.

With every move he made, it was like a force of divine power, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could be transformed into his power in an instant.

“If I can break through to the Tongxuan Realm, how many Great Grandmasters in the world would be my match? Demolishing a Great Grandmaster with one palm is not a just dream!”

As Xu Yan thought about this, he couldn’t help but feel invigorated.

Li Xuan continued, “The Innate Realm is about refining Innate True Qi, whereas the Tongxuan Realm involves the refinement of True Yuan!

“The evolution and sublimation of True Qi will produce True Yuan. True Yuan gushes like a spring and flows like a river…”

Xu Yan listened silently to his master explain about Tongxuan True Yuan. He was already contemplating how to refine True Qi into True Yuan.

“Tongxuan True Yuan is evolved from Innate True Qi. To turn True Qi into True Yuan requires the refinement and sublimation of True Qi.

“Just like the fog that condenses and settles to form droplets of water, the process to refine True Qi into True Yuan is similar.”

Li Xuan explained how to metamorphose True Qi into True Yuan.

When True Qi is condensed into liquid form, it becomes True Yuan. However, refining True Qi into True Yuan and breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm is not a simple task.

“True Yuan gushes like a spring, flows like a river, continuously without end; this is the foundation of the Tongxuan Realm.

“Tongxuan True Yuan can merge with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The range at which you can control the spiritual energy depends on the strength of your True Yuan.

“If powerful enough, it is not impossible to control the spiritual energy within a radius of one mile.”

Li Xuan glanced at Xu Yan, whose mind seemed to have grasped some understanding of the direction for cultivation.

“Master, how can True Yuan merge with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?”

Xu Yan raised his head and asked.

Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, “Assuming that spiritual energy is like fog, and True Yuan is akin to water, how do you think water can merge with fog?”

Xu Yan was startled, a spark of insight flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have vaguely understood something.

“Disciple, remember this: Tongxuan, or understanding the mysteries, means understanding the enigma of heaven and earth. Spiritual energy is the basis for this enigma. Only by merging with the spiritual energy and applying it can you understand the origin of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

“True Yuan merging with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can lead to the power of Tongxuan, laying the groundwork for gaining some control over the Great Power of Heaven and Earth.”

Li Xuan further explained the Tongxuan Realm.

After fully explaining the Tongxuan Realm martial arts theory he had compiled to Xu Yan, Li Xuan strolled back to his estate.

Xu Yan was left alone, immersed in understanding.

Now, he had absolute confidence in Xu Yan.

The martial arts cultivation techniques of the Tongxuan Realm were even more comprehensive than the Qi-Blood and Innate Realms, with a more internally consistent theory.

Even the Qi-Blood and Innate Realms, which only had a vague theory, could be comprehended, let alone the Tongxuan Realm, which at least held some substantial content.

After all, it was based on martial arts cultivation techniques from the Inner Domain.

With Xu Yan’s freakish talent, fully comprehending the Tongxuan Realm techniques was no issue at all.

“Now that I’ve passed the Tongxuan Realm on to Xu Yan, it’s time to prepare for the realm above Tongxuan. How should one practice after Tongxuan?

“How should 1 design it to best link up, with reasonable progression in theory?”

Back at the estate, Li Xuan sat in a chair and started pondering.

He picked up the Inner Domain martial arts cultivation techniques written by Xie Lingfeng and his partner again, reading once more in search of inspiration for the next realm.

However, the techniques written by these two only went up to the Grandmaster Realm, and nothing more.

“Qi-Blood Realm cultivates Qi-Blood, Innate Realm cultivates True Qi, Tongxuan Realm cultivates True Yuan, so what should the next realm cultivate?”

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

On the hillside, after Xu Yan had memorized the cultivation method of the Tongxuan Realm, he sat cross-legged, sucking in and expelling nature’s spiritual energy for cultivation.

At the same time, he began to attempt intuiting the mysteries of nature’s spiritual energy.

He hoped to achieve a keen understanding of the cultivation methods of the Tongxuan Realm.

“No!”

Suddenly, Xu Yan had a realization.

I,

Tongxuan Realm, where True Yuan merges with the universe, but how does one merge? Just like the master’s metaphor, how does water merge with fog?

“Although I have cultivated Innate True Qi, do I truly understand True Qi?

“Do I truly understand the mysteries contained within True Qi? True Yuan is the transformation of True Qi, so if 1 don’t even understand True Qi, how can I transform it into True Yuan?”

Upon this thought, Xu Yan withdrew his consciousness and began wholeheartedly feeling his True Qi.

“In the Qi-Blood Realm, 1 used the method of roasting meat to enhance my control over Qi-Blood, so how should 1 enhance my control over True Qi?”

Suddenly, Xu Yan realized that he should indeed improve his control over True Qi. Only then can he understand the mysteries of True Qi better.

“I used the method of roasting meat to master Qi-Blood, enhancing my control over it and understanding its essence.

“Is it feasible to roast meat with True Qi?

“No, True Qi is too powerful. Roasting meat is too easy, and it certainly won’t help improve my control over True Qi, much less understand its mysteries.”

Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the small village in the mountains, reminiscent of his initial attempts to comprehend cultivation techniques.

He lifted his hand, and the True Qi transformed into a golden dragon about a meter long in the palm of his hand.

Looking at the golden dragon in his hand, Xu Yan intended to split the dragon into two. However, he suddenly found that he couldn’t even split a small amount of True Qi.

Before the golden dragon had split into two, the True Qi lost its shape. The golden dragon disintegrated.

At that moment, his eyes lit up as if he had found a way to improve his control over True Qi.

Boom!

Powerful True Qi burst out, and a gigantic golden dragon soared into the air.

With one thought, the dragon split into two, then three, then four… until there were eighteen dragons.

“I can easily split my vast True Qi, but 1 couldn’t control a small amount of True

Qi, nor could 1 split it at will.”

Xu Yan became excited.

“I need to split my True Qi into smaller and smaller parts, splitting them until 1 can divide a strand of True Qi into eight or ten.”

Having grasped the method, Xu Yan became even more enthusiastic.

From each of the ten fingers on both his hands, a stream of True Qi emanated. He began researching how to split, and after splitting, how to split again.

Eeven learning how to interweave the True Qi together while keeping them separate without fusing into one.

“When I fully comprehend the mystery of True Qi, that will be when 1 understand the method of Tongxuan. When 1 reach the perfect Innate stage and break through to the Tongxuan realm, it will naturally come to fruition!”

Xu Yan was extremely excited, throwing his body and soul into splitting the True Qi.

Through this process, he sought to grasp and understand the essence of True Qi.
