Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 476 - 9: The Destructive Power of Position in the Spirit World

Chapter 476 -9: The Destructive Power of Position in the Spirit World

The Martial Madman was considered a celebrity in the Spirit World, yet no one knew his background.

Nobody knew more than the fact that the Martial Madman loved to fight; whenever he appeared in the Spirit World, it was to challenge others. Unlike other martial artists who would seek a new opponent upon refusal, the Martial Madman would persist in his challenges.

Thus, not many people were fond of the Martial Madman.

It was for this reason that Mo Yang accepted the Martial Madman’s challenge on the first offer.

He had thought it would not take much effort, but now it seemed that the Martial Madman’s strength was much greater than imagined.

“Martial Madman, everyone says you’ve just broken through to Great Grandmaster and don’t possess much strength, but now it seems that’s not necessarily true; your power is greater than imagined; this time I will go all out!”

“That’s exactly what I want!” Wang Sheng desired an opponent who would give their all, as it would allow him to see the extent of these powerful beings who stepped into unknown realms.

Without hesitation, Mo Yang took out his weapon, a long staff.

“Though it’s not as good as my weapon in reality, it’s not far off. Take this!”

With a swing of his two-handed staff, Mo Yang stirred up a gale as sharp as a blade, as his Qi Blood Power surged towards Yun Xiao.

Even with his strength self-sealed, Wang Sheng’s vision allowed him to deal with the attack quite easily.

He blocked Mo Yang’s strike with his spear.

In the moment of blocking, he felt a tremendous power.

“Not right!”

“This is not pure strength.”

In the moment of contact, Wang Sheng saw what he was looking for. Mo Yang’s power was abnormal.

He could feel the power, but it was only a “feeling”.

“No wonder it’s Mo Yang, to give me a surprise on the first encounter.”

Wang Sheng was searching for cultivators that combined spirit and body. He thought it would be difficult, but he never expected to encounter one on his first try.

The power in Mo Yang’s staff was generated from his own body and Qi Blood, but Wang Sheng sensed an additional energy within that power: spiritual power.

By using spiritual power to interfere, it made the opponent “feel” the magnitude of the user’s strength.

In theory, if the opponent fell for it, they would continue to believe they were weaker than Mo Yang.

It might seem inconsequential, but what if it also affected things like speed?

If successful, it could grant numerous advantages and potentially make one invincible amongst those of the same level.

“Indeed, self-sealing my power was the right choice. If it were not for the seal, my spiritual body’s strength would likely not have been disturbed.”

Mo Yang’s technique was very clever, but if the opponent’s spiritual power was vastly superior, they would not be affected.

Like Wang Sheng, even with his power self-sealed, he quickly adapted.

“Keep going. Although it’s different from what I’m seeking, there’s still something to learn here. Using pure Qi Blood Power to influence spiritual power is a clever approach.”

The battle continued, with Wang Sheng absorbing Mo Yang’s cultivation experience while gradually taking the initiative.

“Big Brother is being suppressed. How is that possible? Is the Martial Madman really that strong?”

“…The Martial Madman is progressing quickly. Initially, Big Brother was suppressing him. As the fight continued, the tide gradually turned. Is he that powerful?”

Mo Yang’s followers went from full confidence to disbelief.

They knew Big Brother was powerful, but still, he was being suppressed.

They wanted Big Brother to win, but nothing could change the outcome.

In the end, Mo Yang was defeated by the spear.

“I lost!”

Mo Yang was very convinced.

The more they fought, the clearer it became that the “Martial Madman’s” strength was far beyond imagination.

Wang Sheng helped Mo Yang to his feet.

“You’re strong. Under equal conditions, I may not be stronger than you…” Of course, this was merely a courtesy. If Wang Sheng could use his martial skills and divine skills, Mo Yang would have lost even faster.

Having lost is having lost. Your Excellency adapts to combat quickly, and it didn’t take long for you to figure out my fighting technique. Is this your true purpose?”

“Yes.” Since Wang Sheng had been figured out, he straightforwardly admitted, “The development of Qi Blood Martial Arts to Great Grandmaster has been researched by countless people in the world together, exchanging knowledge to perfect its flaws, ultimately paving a fairly smooth path. But to this day, all Great Grandmasters are blindly conducting their research, which isn’t right.”

Wang Sheng had been promoting this power ever since he began challenging Great Grandmasters.

An individual’s wisdom is profound, but ultimately, it pales in comparison to collective brainstorming.

Therefore, he wanted all Great Grandmasters to exchange knowledge.

The goal was to reap the Spirit World, but also genuinely for the advancement of these martial artists.

“You should be exchanging knowledge with one another. If you continue to hold your knowledge so tightly, even if you break through to the next realm, the next step will still be infinitely out of reach.”

Zhu Xiao saw through this, which is why she passed down her Body Cultivation without any reservation, hoping that successors could reach the same heights as her and exchange insights.

“Exchange ideas?”

Mo Yang had not expected the martial enthusiast to challenge him for this purpose.

However, after pondering, he too agreed with the idea.

“After many years of travel, to think I’ve neglected such a simple truth, thank you for the reminder. It seems it’s time for me to get out and see the world. In that case, would you care to sit and discuss the path with me?”

Mo Yang was a man of action, not fond of idle chat.

“Of course.” Wang Sheng nodded.

The two, originally familiar with each other’s cognition, now exchanged ideas as strangers, both very satisfied with what they gained.

After Wang Sheng left, Mo Yang also emerged from his place of closed-door training.

“Should I also learn from that martial enthusiast?”

…

Wang Sheng was unaware of Mo Yang’s thoughts. After leaving Mo Yang, he went on to challenge another strong figure who had stepped into an unknown domain.

This time, the person’s path was even more unique.

“Tap into the potential of one’s bloodline? Instead of seeking the strength of predecessors, better to make oneself powerful.”

Wang Sheng did not quite agree with this person’s philosophy, therefore they did not exchange ideas for long.

But they still had a discussion.

Yet, as the number of challengers grew, he lost that inclination.

Paths differ, some with infinite potential, others clearly choked and narrow.

No need to fret over this.

However, most martial artists heeded his advice, stepping out of their training retreats to undertake challenges and exchanges.

“The harvested spiritual power is more abundant than before; it seems the path is correct. Moreover, during these exchanges, many are on the verge of breakthrough, just a step away.”

Once they broke through, the benefits for him would be even greater.

Not only that, but during the challenges and exchanges, he also came up with ideas about the problem of the dividing line.

“Those in the game are lost; in fact, there’s no need to create a channel to let bodily strength flow into the spirit. If the dividing line is erased, the Inner Core Skill would naturally harness bodily strength…”

There were many Great Grandmasters who had stepped into unknown domains, naturally including several who cultivated Qi-Blood and spirit concurrently.

From these individuals, Wang Sheng saw many possibilities.

Though their circumstances were not identical to his, there was much to learn.

“So the only thing left to do is to erase the existence of the dividing line… Continue!”

Now, aside from cultivation, he was figuring out how to erase the dividing line.

“There are still plenty of Great Grandmasters entering unknown domains, enough for me to challenge for some time.”

As time went on, the martial enthusiast’s fame grew ever greater.

Wang Sheng thought such days would continue.

But while he sought peace, the cosmos was not so tranquil.

Tides in the starry sky fluctuated once more, raising endless cosmic waves that obliterated countless planets outright.

Although Wang Sheng’s location was not destroyed, it was greatly affected.

The entire world experienced a massive shakeup.

Accompanying the tremor was a mysterious energy that under its influence,

the Spirit World was severely impacted.

His once steady Spirit World was now crashing down like the sky was falling.

Wang Sheng naturally felt the anomaly.

His Spirit World was struck by an unknown force, the sensation distinct and clear.

“This power targets the Spirit World specifically, if not for my unique circumstance…”

Wang Sheng was well aware that the unknown force was highly specialized, but as long as his Spirit existed, his Spirit World wouldn’t collapse.

And—

“It seems this unknown force wasn’t aiming for me. My Spirit World seems to have been just collateral. The unknown force merely passed through. With that in mind, what the unknown force truly targeted was…”

Wang Sheng immediately proceeded to the Spiritual World of the First Dynasty.

“Particularly targeting the Spirit World, aside from me, only one legacy remains; the question is whether it will be observable.”

But he might have arrived too late!

The Spiritual World of the First Dynasty had already begun to collapse completely.

Years ahead of his predictions!
