Chapter 353

Xu Yan continued to look at the introductions on the celestial realm’s three states written on the stone wall. Even though the cultivation of Martial Artist’s Celestial realm was different from the Divine Intent State, he could draw lessons from it. Perhaps, it could provide an opportunity for him to fully comprehend the cultivation technique of the Divine Intent State.

“The first state is gathering divine energy… condensing and gathering it; the key is to feel one’s divine energy…”

Xu Yan suddenly remembered. When he destroyed a treasure in Yinlou Pavilion, there was Stone You Grass in a cave in the cliff. When he approached the Stone You Grass, he felt some exhilaration. The effect of the Stone You Grass was to nourish the spirit.

“That Peak Great Grandmaster nurtured the Stone You Grass and used it to sense his divine energy, to condense his divine energy…”

Perhaps, the half-step Celestial Beings in the Inner Domain have all condensed their divine energy in a similar manner.

They relied on external objects and were deficient in the cultivation techniques of Celestial Beings. Furthermore, the Inner Domain had specific limitations, preventing one from completely breaking through the Martial Arts Celestial State.

At the half-step stage, while one can feel and condense one’s divine energy, one is unable to gather it.

This is why the aura of the half-step Celestial Beings appears less solid and substantial, and instead seems rather vague.

After understanding the underlying reason, Xu Yan’s pupils brightened. He seemed to have a glimmer of understanding. A light flashed in his mind and the cultivation techniques of the Divine Intent State began to emerge clearly.

“Miss Du, I’ve had some insights. You may leave me now.”

Xu Yan sat cross-legged, seizing this revelation to begin understanding the Cultivation Technique of the Divine Intent State.

Seeing this, Du Yuying quietly backed away a few steps. She sat on the floor and silently watched Xu Yan who was absorbed in thought. Her heart pounded, and her face occasionally blushed, lost in thought.

As the information about the three states of the Celestial Beings surfaced in Xu Yan’s mind, the Divine Intent State’s Cultivation Technique also manifested.

“To gather divine energy, you need to sense your divine energy. While the Martial Arts Divine Intent lies in my heart, in my Sword Intent, and in my understanding of the Tongxuan Realm… Condensing the Martial Arts Divine Intent, I have understood, but what is the will of heaven and earth? How can it be refined into divine intent?”

“The universe is vast, while humans are minute. Synchronizing with the universe allows one to comprehend its changes. Sword Intent transforms into mountains and rivers, encapsulating the universe within… My will is the will of the heavens, and the will of the heavens lies within my heart.”

During Xu Yan’s comprehension, the Divine Intent State’s martial arts method gradually became clearer.

How to condense the Martial Arts Divine Intent, how to turn the universe’s will into one’s own, that is, how to open the mud pill palace and nourish the Soul Pedestal, all these points gradually became clearer.

Moving from the Tongxuan Realm to the Divine Intent State is a great leap.

The foundation of cultivation in Divine Intent State primarily relies on opening the mud pill palace and nurturing the Soul Pedestal. Once the pill palace opens, one’s soul will converge at the Soul Pedestal in the mud pill palace.

Condensing the Martial Arts Divine Intent, transforming the will of Heaven and Earth, condensing it into a single, Divine Intent!

Where there is divine intent, there is the will of Heaven!

The will of Heaven cannot be disobeyed!

The strength of the Divine Intent State transcends the domain of imposing divine might, far beyond what a minor Celestial Being’s divine might can compare to.

The clearer Xu Yan’s comprehension of martial arts was, the deeper he sighed about the Divine Intent State’s mysteries. With a single thought, enemies would be obliterated into ashes.

Du Yuying kept staring at Xu Yan, the more captivated she became the more Xu Yan seemed to be enveloped in a layer of Spiritual Brilliance.

Seems like he was… enlightened?

This word popped up in her mind.

Understanding the martial arts method of the Divine Intent State is not a matter of a day or two. Xu Yan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his breath was profound, and Spiritual Energy was gathering around him.

Sometimes Sword Intent would emerge, sometimes with a slow breeze around him. He was wholly immersed in martial arts enlightenment.

By the time Xu Yan emerged from his thoughts, he took a deep breath, his heart full of excitement. He had already understood the cultivation method of the Divine Intent State.

He had already understood the Cultivation Technique fully. He was just waiting for the completion of the Tongxuan Realm. After accumulating his foundational strength, he could open the mud pill palace, nourish the Soul Pedestal, condense the Martial Arts Divine Intent, and breakthrough to the Divine Intent Realm in one go.

“It’s close. It won’t be too far off!”

Xu Yan murmured to himself.

Breakthrough to the perfect state in the Tongxuan Realm within a year?

Then spend half a year to accumulate foundational strength, and when breaking through to Divine Intent State, further refine and transform himself. This cultivation speed is extremely fast.

“Perhaps, it will not even take me a year.”

Xu Yan was full of yearning.

The Divine Intent State is a significant upgrade. Only after stepping into the Divine Intent State can one truly show the mysteries of the Sword Intent.

The Heart Sword Realm, he should also think about how to break through the Heart Sword Realm.

To transform all things in the universe into a sword!

What a formidable Sword Dao state.

“The Divine Intent State, condensing the Martial Arts Divine Intent, my intent is the intent of Heaven. Can divine intent transform everything into a sword? I should also take some time to consolidate my understanding of the sword Dao and comprehend how to breakthrough the Heart Sword Realm.”

Xu Yan thought to himself.

“We are done here, Miss Du. Let’s go.”

Xu Yan stood up and said.

“Oh, okay!”

Du Yuying seemed lost in thought. There was a slight hint of confusion in her eyes and her face was flushed. She replied hurriedly in a low voice.

They reaped many rewards at the tomb of Celestial Being. Du Yuying perfected her deficiencies, while Xu Yan broke through the minor achievement stage of Tongxuan Realm and understood more about the three states of Celestial Beings. He even understood the cultivation method of the Divine Intent State.

Upon leaving the tomb of Celestial Being.

Xu Yan waved his hand, completely sealing the tomb’s entrance.

This place returned to normal, a barren hill in the wilderness, and outsiders would find it hard to believe that a renowned Martial Artists Celestial Being had been buried here!

In the Ling Domain, he was known as the Blood Demon, killing countless people.

In the Inner Domain, he was the Demon Lord of the Demon Sect, with a tremendous demonic aura.

Born humble, buried in the wilderness, that was indeed his final resting place.

Xu Yan and Du Yuying left the tomb of the Celestial Being and came out of the deserted mountains to walk among the forests.

This was the region of the Yan Country.
