Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 449 - 32 The "Dao" That Is Truly Meant to Be Conveyed

Chapter 449 -32 The “Dao” That Is Truly Meant to Be Conveyed

The people from other dynasties who had come to Datong were all royals and quite worldly, yet they had never heard of a “Martial Saint.”

Thus, they found it strange. In fact, not only them, but even the martial artists from the recently returned Taiping Sect were unclear about what exactly a Martial Saint was.

These royal members were very disciplined, so news was swiftly gathered.

“Martial Saint is a realm above that of a Great Grandmaster?” Yan Tian, who had also entered the realm of a Master of Destiny, knew what being above a Great Grandmaster represented, “Is it Datong’s Master of Destiny?”

“No, Datong had long eradicated the existence of the Masters of Destiny. According to the information gathered, the Martial Saint is the realm beyond a Great Grandmaster’s breakthrough, just like how Grandmasters advance to Great Grandmasters. Most importantly, Martial Saints have a lifespan exceeding 500 years, reaching up to 900 years!”

The person speaking was also a warrior of the Yan Family. When he had first learned this information, he couldn’t believe it, but it was indeed a fact.

“900 years?” Yan Tian was even more shocked. Even when he was a Master of Destiny, his lifespan was merely 500 years.

“Martial Saint, Martial Arts Saint… You’re saying this Martial Arts Saint is about to transmit teachings, right?”

“Yes, it’s said that this Martial Saint will transmit teachings in the Spirit World, and anyone can go and listen.”

Yan Tian was tempted.

A Martial Saint—he too wanted to witness it for himself.

“Can we go?”

Yan Tian murmured to himself. Their identities were highly sensitive, being the former royal family, and it wasn’t certain that Datong would allow it. However, thinking of the marvel of the Martial Saint, he was eager to see it for himself.

In the end, he went to see the officials of Datong.

“Of course you can. You are free to move as you please, as long as you don’t violate the law. We won’t interfere with you, and thirty years from now, even if your entire family wants to move back to Yan State, we won’t bother you.”

Datong never feared the rise of families. Allowing the Yan Family to come here was only to reduce their influence on the dynasty.

Yan Tian hadn’t expected that what Datong had said from the start was actually true, with no intention of restraining them.

This was a good thing, but it also proved Datong’s strength.

The mysterious existence of Martial Saints and the Spirit World, the rise of Datong was no coincidence.

Given the chance, naturally, they would not miss it.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two months had gone by. Most of Datong’s martial artists had already assembled in cities and the wilderness within the coverage area of the Spirit World.

All waiting to enter the Spirit World, to witness the capacity of the Martial Saint.

The Yan Family acted quickly and had arrived at these places one and a half months earlier, securing residences within the cities.

“With the existence of the Spirit World, the path of martial artists shines bright. Given time, Datong will surely become the strongest nation.”

As a Master of Destiny, Yan Tian, too, knew about the existence of the dynasty’s Spirit World, but he felt that although Datong’s Spirit World was small, its effects far surpassed that of the dynasty’s Spirit World.

“This is the true method of utilization!”

However, such a method of utilization couldn’t be achieved by just anyone. Behind this, there must be a fearsome power, perhaps even the creator of the Jade Talismans.

While he was lost in his wild thoughts, a voice appeared.

[Martial Saint’s transmission of teachings is about to begin. You may now log in.]

All the assembled martial artists were here for the Martial Saint, and without any hesitation, over a million martial artists began logging into the Spirit World.

Soon, they had gathered in a vast space, where at the center was a high platform.

“To be able to gather everyone in the same place… Yuelai Inn and the Spirit World truly have an inseparable connection.”

“All I want to know now is, when will Martial Saint Zhu Xiao appear?”

People discussed amongst themselves.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared atop the central platform.

“Ladies and gentlemen!”

The voice was pleasant to the ears—a female’s voice—and everyone knew Zhu Xiao had arrived.

It wasn’t clear who led the way, but someone shouted, “Welcome, Martial Saint!”

“Welcome, Martial Saint!”

Some might still harbor doubts in their hearts, but amid this atmosphere, no one wanted to be the odd one out.

Zhu Xiao, seeing this scene, pressed down with her hand and unleashed her aura: “Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet!”

The aura of the Martial Saint was equivalent to that of a Master of Destiny.

However, unlike the Master of Destiny, this aura was more pronounced, blatantly powerful.

In an instant, the powerful martial artists near the front were all suppressed and fell silent.

It was just a small affair, but it demonstrated the Martial Saint’s might.

Especially the Great Grandmasters at the front.

They understood that the title of Martial Saint was well-deserved, extremely powerful!

“Ladies and gentlemen, I too am clear on the purpose of your visit here, to know the details about Martial Saints. I can tell you explicitly that the Martial Saint is the path beyond a Great Grandmaster. However, my path is different…”

Zhu Xiao got straight to the point, immediately explaining her path.

This path was derived from Qi-Blood Martial Arts, but entirely different.

After half an hour, Zhu Xiao had only roughly explained her Cultivation Path.

“Gathering everyone here was indeed for the purpose of teaching. If you have any questions, you may ask them now, and I will answer,” she said.

Upon hearing this, all the strong warriors snapped back to reality.

A Great Grandmaster immediately spoke up, “Martial Saint Zhu Xiao, the path you described, which is completely different from the Qi Blood Martial Arts, is it real?”

“I’ve already explained it very clearly. Moreover, the Spiritual Cultivation Path exists, so why can’t my path exist?”

The Spiritual Cultivation Path, the cultivation methods that emerged from the Spirit World, even though there wasn’t a strongest practitioner yet, everyone knew it was a road not weaker than the Qi Blood Martial Arts.

And now, it seemed another path had emerged, which on the surface, appeared even more powerful.

“Martial Saint, is this path available for everyone to cultivate?”

“Like the Qi Blood Martial Arts, anything requires talent, and my path naturally does too. However, my path’s requirements are somewhat different and cannot be completely referenced to the Qi Blood Martial Arts.”

At these words, some low-level Martial Artists became excited.

Different talent requirements—might they have a chance?

They were Martial Artists whose talents were unsuitable for the Qi Blood Martial Arts, and their Spiritual Cultivation was the same. Martial Saint Zhu Xiao’s path might be a good direction for them.

“Lord Martial Saint, will you disseminate the cultivation methods?”

“I will pass on the most fundamental Cultivation Methods. The true method still requires one’s own enlightenment.”

Zhu Xiao intended for her path to flourish everywhere just like the Qi Blood Martial Arts, naturally not passing down a complete method to ascend to the heavens directly.

Even so, a portion of the Martial Artists was excited enough.

Having hope was better than none at all.

“Thank you for your great kindness, Martial Saint!”

“Lord Martial Saint, can those practicing Qi Blood Martial Arts switch to your path?”

“Of course. You can even transform a part of your cultivation to my path. However, I must say that if you focus solely on it, your strength will certainly decrease. Even if you specialize in it, it might not suit you. You could be a Great Grandmaster in Qi Blood Martial Arts, and still find it hard to reach the Grandmaster Realm on my path. You must think it over thoroughly.”

Although Zhu Xiao hoped more people would cultivate her path, she did not want to deceive anyone.

This statement poured cold water on some of the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.

They had obviously thought about this.

“Lord Martial Saint, is there a further path for the Qi Blood Martial Arts?” This was a top-notch Great Grandmaster asking, the man was none other than Yan Tian.

Zhu Xiao glanced at him.

Someone had found the key point.

“The Qi Blood Martial Arts, having developed till now with a history of ten thousand years, has endless potential, but currently there’s no clear way forward. However, my path originated from the Qi Blood Martial Arts, and I can advance further before reaching Great Grandmaster. The Qi Blood Martial Arts naturally can too.

Many Great Grandmasters have likely felt the obstacles ahead fading away. If they find the path, they may be able to advance further. Much like the sages created the Qi Blood Martial Arts, pushing it forward.”

These words from Zhu Xiao were like an enlightening elixir to all the strong practitioners.

They had all been thinking about breaking through to the next realm but had not found a good method, always feeling as if the future was uncertain, seemingly having a path yet feeling like there was none.

But Zhu Xiao’s words made them understand.

Breakthroughs depended on oneself; perhaps becoming the one to carve out a new path and standing shoulder to shoulder with the sages was not an impossibility.

All the powerful ones were excited!

But Zhu Xiao poured another bucket of cold water, “Although the path ahead exists, I must remind you of something. The sages who created the Qi Blood Martial Arts did not do so without any cost. Countless people died on the path of creation. Wanting to advance beyond the Great Grandmaster Realm is difficult, a difficulty you are all well aware of—no need for me to stress.”

“…”

The hearts of the Martial Artists crashed from the peak once again.

Indeed, the Human Race dominated its enemies and became Overlords through the immense contributions of the Qi Blood Martial Arts, but how many people have been buried along its developing path?

“Lord Martial Saint, is there a way to solve this?”

Someone speculated that Lord Martial Saint would not have spoken these words lightly.

Zhu Xiao gave a slight smile, finally asking, “A solution? The role of the Spirit World isn’t just to help Martial Artists break through!”

In an instant, all the Martial Artists understood something.

Of course, the Spirit World could be used to help with breakthroughs, so why couldn’t it help research new realms as well?

Looking at the eager Martial Artists, Zhu Xiao stated, “Although time was short this time, I’m sure everyone gained a lot. My path will be made public through the Spirit World. Until next time!”

Having said this, Zhu Xiao disappeared from the high stage.

This short session of imparting knowledge was indeed profound in its impact.

Zhu Xiao exited the Spirit World and found Wang Sheng, “How were my words?”

“Perfect!” Wang Sheng praised with a smile.

The words that followed were naturally what he had asked Zhu Xiao to say.

Wang Sheng wouldn’t let such a treasure as the Spirit World go to waste for the Martial Artists.

Just after the session ended, a substantial increase in harvested spiritual power was detected, evidently more effective than anticipated.

It also fulfilled Zhu Xiao’s intention, which was to impart knowledge!

What Zhu Xiao wanted to impart was also what Wang Sheng desired to convey.

Give all Martial Artists one thought: do not limit themselves to their current realm, for there is a long road ahead!

Only this way could more powerful beings emerge!

This was the true “path” they intended to impart!
