Chapter 29

Although Xu Yan had stepped into the world of martial arts, his daily life remained the same, cooking when it’s time to cook, feeding the chickens when it’s time to feed them. Li Xuan seemed leisurely as usual.

However, behind the scenes, he was truly fretting, contemplating how to conceptualize the framework of the Innate Realm cultivation, the theories of the Innate Realm, and even the cultivation techniques.

Beyond the Innate realm, a concept for future cultivation directions was needed as well.

In preparation for the haphazard creation of realms and cultivation techniques in the future, the theoretical groundwork was essential.

If the cultivation technique devised was not mystical enough, Li Xuan’s practice wouldn’t be powerful enough, the concept wouldn’t be deep enough, and it would not be sufficient to guide Xu Yan, the genius, to profound insights.

If what he creates was too mystical and departed from the framework, he was afraid that it would not be possible to connect with the next stage, and even more scared that Xu Yan could not understand it, leading to stagnation or even regression in his cultivation!

“Damn, this is too hard!”

Li Xuan sighed privately.

Under the pressure, it was difficult to unleash his creativity, making the process seem restrictive and complicated.

If he tried to let go and make things up, he feared that Xu Yan would not understand, staying stuck in the realm of basic cultivation! In the end, the one who would be damaged is himself.

Li Xuan was fraught with concerns about crafting the cultivation technique for the Innate Realm.

In these days, Xu Yan had also been scratching his head in distress while pondering the four phrases of the cultivation technique, but he was not making any progress, feeling deeply frustrated.

“If 1 can’t comprehend such simple techniques, my master will surely be disappointed.”

“What’s the point of cultivating Jade bones? Without understanding the cultivation techniques, how can I continue my martial arts practice?”

“The Martial Path is endless. If 1 can’t even understand such simple techniques, how can I step into a more powerful and profound realm of martial arts?”

Xu Yan was consumed with worries.

Suddenly, he remembered the words of his master.

“Master said, just do your best, inability to understand won’t hinder cultivation…”

“I have devoted all my energy to the cultivation techniques and my energy consumption has caused me to neglect cultivation.”

“In fact, my master was telling me not to be too caught up, but to comprehend during cultivation, and thus understanding the essence…”

After such consideration, Xu Yan’s eyes brightened.

He immediately calmed his mind and began to perceive the flow of True Qi and the slow increase keenly, without any distraction.

Only during his cultivation did the four phrases of the cultivation technique occasionally surfaced in his mind.

With the progress of cultivation, Xu Yan began to realize something gradually: “Thousands of streams make a big river… Each cultivation session added to my True Qi, isn’t this just like the convergence of thousands of streams?”

“A long river streams into the ocean… The essence here is to gather True Qi, like an ocean… No, the body is like an ocean to accommodate True Qi.”

“Surging waves ripple across the ocean, and True Qi can shake a million mountains – True Qi should not remain calm but should be like surging waves or turbulent currents. Only then can it effectively reinforce the body.”

“If True Qi can shake a million mountains, does it mean – bones are like mountains, True Qi shakes the mountains…”

Xu Yan experienced a moment of enlightenment, with the concept of the four phrases of the cultivation technique presenting itself before him.

At this moment, he vaguely comprehended and discerned the essence of martial arts within it.

“Gathering of True Qi, like turbulent currents, like surging waves; striking the Jade bones… The whole body is like an ocean…”

Xu Yan immersed himself in the realization. His body’s True Qi gradually became like a raging torrent, striking his Jade bones incessantly.

“I understand now!”

At one moment, Xu Yan’s heart was filled with excitement as he instantly grasped the concealed essence of martial arts within the four phrases of the cultivation technique.

As he took a deep breath, his bones vibrated, a rumbling sound emerged around his body, and a thunderous sound seemed to echo inside him.

The sound wasn’t loud; it seemed to resonate only within his body.

At one moment, strands of Qi and blood incessantly bubbled up, circulating throughout his body in a new manner. His marrow flowed like a river, generating Qi and blood continually and more rapidly than before.

Meanwhile, his Qi and blood surged like a torrent, constantly churning, occasionally striking his bones. The Qi and blood rebounded on hitting the bone, causing a body-wide tremor.

His physical body was fortified through this repetitive Qi and blood rebound. The Qi and blood itself was refined, becoming more powerful in the process.

His Qi and blood swirled around him, and between Xu Yan’s breaths, his chest and abdomen reverberated, Qi and blood boiling, an intense vitality was breathed out like a raging fire.

After practicing for a while with the newly understood method, Xu Yan could feel his personal enhancement.

More so, it was an all-rounded improvement, with both his physical body and Qi and blood growing stronger.

“The technique Master taught me is exceptionally profound. Indeed, understanding the technique brings a different experience to cultivation.”

“After understanding the technique, I’m improving much faster, and my Qi and blood have grown stronger.”

Xu Yan was filled with excitement.

“I have finally understood the technique. 1 won’t let Master down!”

He was thrilled to the core.

Li Xuan was creating a cultivation method for the Innate Realm, mainly the theoretical framework and how to bridge it with Qi and blood.

He had already established that the Innate Realm cultivates True Qi!

The normal Qi and blood would transform into Innate True Qi. However, transforming into Innate True Qi required a process. The first step was to open the bridge between Heaven and Earth!

“Once the bridge between Heaven and Earth is opened, the Qi and blood circulates throughout the body, transforming into Innate True Qi… Only after opening the bridge, one can inhale and exhale nature’s spiritual energy, converting it into True Qi…”

“The Innate involves inhaling and exhaling nature’s spiritual energy, rising in the air by controlling the energy, traversing hundreds of miles in an instant, no longer an ordinary human…”

Li Xuan found the more he pondered, the more realistic this concocted theory became. It was theoretically sound and the structure held up.

The only thing missing was for his naive student, Xu Yan, to comprehend it.

The only problem was…

Looking up at the sky, Li Xuan wondered to himself: “Does this world have spiritual energy? If not, isn’t this all in vain?”

“The air here is so fresh, really sweet-smelling. There should be spiritual energy, right?”

Regardless of the existence of spiritual energy, the Innate Realm definitely involves inhaling and exhaling nature’s spiritual energy, refining it into Innate True Qi, and surpassing the physical constraints of mortality.

“The second realm I’m creating is already so escalated. Once mastered, one would already become really powerful. Future realms must continue to be more mysterious. Otherwise, they won’t be powerful enough.”

Li Xuan sighed internally. Creating these techniques was not an easy task.

But after several days of contemplation, he managed to devise the cultivation method for the Innate Realm.

Theoretically, it would connect seamlessly with the Qi and Blood Realm.

Whether it would work or not was now all up to Xu Yan.

“There’s no rush to tell Xu Yan just yet. He has just entered the Qi and Blood Realm. At least let him get used to it first,” thought Li Xuan.

“Otherwise, if he hasn’t even grasped the Qi and Blood Realm technique and starts pondering over the Innate Realm cultivation, what if he can’t handle it and ends up doing more harm than good?”

Li Xuan decided to hold off, at least until Xu Yan had managed to grasp the four sentences of the technique.

“I wonder if that silly student has made any progress? The four sentences of the technique weren’t mysterious enough. They were slightly vague. I need to make them better next time.”

Lixuan summed up his experience secretly. The next time he created a technique, it had to be more profound, have sufficient artistic conception, and be somewhat related to the cultivation realm.

It couldn’t be too vague.

Otherwise, it would be hard to grasp..
