Boom!

A thunderbolt cleaved the sky, the roar of thunder, deafening.

Li Xuan sighed inwardly, “The power of heaven and earth, it truly is extraordinary. The force of this bolt, even with my current strength, would be somewhat challenging to withstand.”

His curiosity piqued, he wondered if the concept of crossing tribulations existed in the martial arts of this world?

“The Martial Arts 1 create won’t include crossing tribulations. It would be foolish to arbitrarily set up a Heavenly Tribulation test for oneself.”

Li Xuan was thinking such.

As for whether, without a Heavenly Tribulation test, strength would be insufficient.

That’s not a question at all.

Who said that only those who endure a Heavenly Tribulation are powerful?

Is it not possible to directly control the strength of heaven and earth, the power of Heavenly Tribulation, instead of crossing the so-called Heavenly Tribulation?

“As long as the cultivation technique is good and the disciple is a genius, everything is possible!”

Li Xuan’s face was covered in a smile.

“Your disciple Meng Chong has successfully cultivated the Thunderbolt Vajra Fist; your Thunderbolt Vajra Fist has been completed!”

Suddenly, a golden light emerged.

Feedback from the Golden Finger came.

Meng Chong understood and had cultivated the Thunderbolt Vajra Fist.

“Excellent! Now that he has grasped the Thunderbolt Vajra Fist, it’s time to continue teaching Meng Chong new cultivation techniques.”

Li Xuan was overjoyed.

In his mind already existed the cultivation method of the Thunderbolt Vajra Fist. He could only exclaim, this Thunderbolt Vajra Fist was truly formidable.

With a slight punch, there was a force of thunderbolt.

“For a devil cultivator like Blood Heartless, facing the Thunderbolt Vajra Fist, he would be severely suppressed!”

If Blood Heartless wasn’t dead and had to face Meng Chong now, it would be difficult to predict the outcome.

The rain continued to pat down, but the gale had stopped.

The thunder and lightening also subsided.

Meng Chong returned in the rain.

“Master, I have realized the Thunderbolt Vajra Fist!”

Meng Chong said excitedly.

“Good! You have not disappointed your master. You should meditate for a while, and then your master will teach you the Eight Diagrams and the Dao of the Blade!”

Li Xuan nodded approvingly.

“Yes, Master!”

Meng Chong was thrilled.

Li Xuan decided to teach each disciple about the Eight Diagrams. What they could comprehend would depend entirely on the disciples themselves.

Each disciple’s understanding would be different.

The movement techniques are within; other subtleties are also within. Perhaps, as the disciples grow stronger, they will have new insights.

For example, Xu Yan, who understood the Light Crane Movement Technique, during the fight against Blood Heartless, he had a sudden insight into the technique of transporting through space.

He wondered what kind of movement technique Meng Chong could comprehend.

Perhaps it will be a fluke, and he will understand the technique of transporting through space too?

Three days later.

Outside Yunshan County, in a familiar forest.

Only the periphery of the forest had trees at this point, the inside was now a flat piece of land without even a single piece of grass.

With a wave of Li Xuan’s hand, amidst the surge of True Qi, an Eight Diagrams pattern emerged on the ground.

“This is the Eight Diagrams. It contains the mysteries of heaven and earth. Movement techniques can also be understood from it. Your master will teach you the Dao of the Eight Diagrams…”

Li Xuan recounted to Meng Chong all the knowledge related to the Eight Diagrams, as well as his own insights and theories, which contained powerful mysteries.

“Did you remember all of that?”

In the end, Li Xuan asked with a deep voice.

“Master, your disciple has remembered!”

Meng Chong nodded.

He stared at the Eight Diagrams pattern, lost in thought.

“This Dao of the Eight Diagrams is really profound. It sounds strong, containing the mysteries of heaven and earth, and one can always comprehend it.

“Master has said, each stage will have different enlightenments, and each person’s understanding will be different. One can comprehend their own martial arts from it.”

He decided to spend the next period of time understanding the Eight Diagrams.

“I have already understood the Thunderbolt Vajra Fist, next 1 need to comprehend a footwork or movement technique from the Eight Diagrams.

“The movement technique of my elder martial brother is extremely mysterious, and it was also understood from the Eight Diagrams. I am not learning his movement technique, 1 want to understand my own.”

“The one I understand myself will be the most suitable for me.”

Meng Chong was contemplating as he started to tread upon the Eight Diagrams pattern.

Seeing this, Li Xuan reminded him, “In understanding the Eight Diagrams, do not forget your own cultivation and aim to perfect your Qi and Blood as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Master!”

Meng Chong replied respectfully.

“Hm, practice well!”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he left.

Next, it was up to Meng Chong to see when he could comprehend his own movement technique from the Eight Diagrams.

As for the mantra of the movement technique, Li Xuan didn’t bother to make one. Meng Chong’s talent wasn’t in understanding mantras. It might even have the opposite effect if he was taught a mantra.

Capital of Qi Country.

The hubbub regarding the powerful person had gradually died down, and the court officials all understood that even if they sought out a powerful person, they would not be able to shake the position of the Guo Family.

The fervor to find a powerful person gradually abated as well.

All court officials wanted to learn martial arts from the powerful visitors or have their descendants become disciples of these powerful people.

Without exception, they couldn’t even get a glimpse of the great visitors.

In the backyard of the Qi King’s Mansion, Xu Yan’s residence.

Xie Lingfeng held a wooden stick and was sparring with Xu Yan. One did not use his inner martial arts qi, the other did not use his Qi and Blood. They were just practicing swordsmanship.

This wasn’t their first time.

“Brother Xu, are you sure that sparring like this will help you comprehend Sword Intent?”

Xie Lingfeng asked curiously.

After extensively discussing martial arts and especially swordsmanship with Xu Yan, Xie Lingfeng had recognized the reality that what he had been practicing was fake martial arts!

He hadn’t even touched the door of the true Sword Dao!

Now that he realized his mistakes, he naturally wanted to correct them. Therefore, he asked Xu Yan for guidance.. What is the true Martial Arts, and how should he cultivate it?
