Chapter 261: 260. Stagnation and Progress of Cultivation
Translator: 549690339
The god in the darkness turned around and sat down, facing Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang quietly sensed the power concept within.
In the Divine Martial Demon Fist, the Houtu move also had a foundational effect.
Mastering this fist technique was extremely beneficial to a martial artist’s cultivation foundation.
The other fist techniques were the same, but the effect of Houtu was especially obvious.
In the world, one law was connected, and all laws were connected. The Great Dao returned to the same place. Many times, different methods achieved the same result.
For example, the Ten Dragon Emperor Fist of the Xia Dynasty, or the Nine Dragon Emperor Fist of the past, was the most fundamental move of the Yellow Dragon Fist.
The Yellow Dragon, the dragon in the center, rose from the earth.
The Yellow Dragon Fist had the characteristic of endless strength. It was the foundation of all forms of the Dragon Fist, and the combination of training method and fighting method.
In the Divine Martial Demon Fist, the importance of Houtu was not as important as the Yellow Dragon Fist and the Ten Dragon Emperor Fist, but in terms of characteristics, they were similar.
Chen Luoyang had been here for a period of time, and his understanding of this world’s martial arts had gradually deepened.
He felt that some of the principles were contradictory.
It wasn’t necessarily contradictory, but it seemed to be in a delicate balance.
In his previous life on Planet Blue, he had read many novels.
In many cases, the improvement of a person’s overall strength was based on the improvement of his cultivation realm, step by step.
Most of the ultimate techniques or spells were used in actual combat.
Internal and external techniques were more distinct.
However, Chen Luoyang felt that the world he was currently in was more like the ancient martial arts novels of his previous life in certain aspects.
A powerful martial art often did not only bring about powerful combat strength in the same realm, or help cultivators defeat powerful enemies of a higher level.
Sometimes, it would even directly affect the improvement of a person’s cultivation realm.
It was just like those martial arts novels where a top-notch internal art allowed the young protagonist to quickly complete decades or centuries of internal art cultivation in a short period of time, and thus become the top expert of the world.
In fact, when he read the web novels about fantasy and xianxia later, the main characters also completed the path that others would not be able to walk in thousands of years in a short period of time. There were similarities, but overall, they rose up step by step. Although it was fast, the levels were quite clear.
Unlike the world he was in now.
The Hierarch of Ancient Gods Clan was the most typical example.
Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong was able to break through to the 14th realm because he had absorbed the essence of Misty Cloud Palace’s martial arts and comprehended the tenth form of Dragon Fist.
Wang Fei, the former Right Emissary of the Ancient Gods Clan who had betrayed the sect, had successfully broken through to the thirteenth realm with the help of his special physique and the Great Sun Heavenly King Skill and the Grand Moon Scripture.
Ban Hongqing, who Li Yuanlong had nurtured as a secret weapon, had achieved unprecedented success in cultivating the Cauldron Heaven Divine Art. He had also crossed the natural moat that hindered countless people and reached the thirteenth realm.
Chen Luoyang wasn’t sure if Saber Emperor Yuwen Feng had comprehended the 11th and 12th Calamity of the Fiery Emperor before his strength had advanced to the level of approaching the 15th realm, or vice versa.
However, there was no doubt that the other party had made another breakthrough in his comprehension of the original martial arts.
There were still very few people who knew, but Chen Luoyang had already learned from the information provided by the black pot that the fourth disciple of Sword Emperor Tao WangJi, Absolute Sword Jie Xingmang, had just advanced to the eleventh realm not long ago.
To be honest, this made Chen Luoyang somewhat surprised.
Xie Xingmang, who had suffered a major setback after losing an arm, had actually broken through his original bottleneck and improved his cultivation after his injuries in other areas gradually recovered.
It was a blessing in disguise.
. Although he definitely didn’t think so.
Chen Luoyang guessed that the source of this change might be the transformation of the other party’s Sword Dao and that Absolute Sword.
In this aspect, Empress Yan Mingkong’s improvement should be related to her self-cultivation of the Nether Sword Essence.
If not for this incident, with Yan Mingkong’s talent, he might have been able to break through to the lith realm. but the iournev might not have been so smooth.
It was just that geniuses could do whatever they wanted and break common sense.
In the Ancient Gods Clan, besides the Demonic Blood, there were six peerless unique skills, thirty-six secret impartation skills, and various martial arts skills below the secret impartation skills, which formed an obvious hierarchy.
Those who had reached a certain level of cultivation and made great contributions might obtain an ultimate art of a higher level.
After that, his strength soared.
Zhang Tianheng, Wang Dubao, Nie Guangyuan, and the others were all the same.
Chen Chuhua, Wang Fei, Xiao Yuntian, and the others were even more so.
Back then, the reason why the younger faction could rise so quickly and have a large number of Martial King experts to compete with the elder faction was that, besides the Primordial Eight Characters Scripture, which allowed the direct disciples of the Demonic Sect to quickly learn, the Cult Master used his personal power to give special treatment to his trusted aides, which played a vital role.
This gave Chen Luoyang a feeling.
If a person was able to cultivate an extremely wondrous absolute art, then his strength could possibly advance by leaps and bounds.
At the very least, he had broken through his previous shackles.
In this world of martial arts, the sacred grounds of martial arts were becoming more and more oligarchic. Power and power were becoming more and more concentrated at the top of the pyramid. This was probably not unrelated to this.
Of course, all of the above had a prerequisite.
If you were given a divine technique, it would be useless if you could master it.
And this was related to something that Chen Luoyang had previously felt was the most wonderful thing about balance.
The more top-notch an absolute art was, the higher the difficulty of cultivating it.
Most of the time, it was not just because one’s innate talent and comprehension were high that one would be able to learn it.
His own God Devil Blood and Divine Martial Devil Fist could be said to be the best examples.
Putting aside the fact that every move of the Divine Martial Demon Fist required a lot of effort and even luck, he had to learn it first.
If it wasn’t for the foundation laid by the Heavenly Demon Blood, it wouldn’t have been so easy to cultivate the Godfiend Blood and the Godfiend Undying Body.
On the other hand, knowing the Heavenly Demon Blood didn’t mean that one could definitely refine the Divine Demon Blood.
Fei Chen, the founder of the Ancient Gods Clan of the Divine Prefecture, would agree to this.
The cultivation of the Tathagata Demon Palm was similarly very difficult.
Otherwise, Yanzhao would not have been able to dominate the Martial King Realm of the Divine Prefecture with a single incomplete manual.
Because besides him, only a few people in the entire Ancient Gods Clan had successfully learned this move.
Looking at Yuan Chen, Bukong, and Kong Tu, as well as the descendants of the Devil Buddha Misery Sea that they had brought over, it was obvious that not everyone could master the authentic and direct Buddha’s Palm.
While the various absolute arts that he practiced outside affected his cultivation realm, his cultivation realm itself would ultimately limit the progress of cultivating these absolute arts.
It felt like water being poured into a bottle that could forcibly expand the bottle.
However, if the speed of filling water was faster than the speed of the container expanding, then the water could still be filled. The capacity of the bottle had a limit.
This balance was at an interesting point. Everyone seemed to be different.
Chen Luoyang dispersed his fist intent.
The darkness faded, the god disappeared, and the heavy feeling also dissipated.
He stood up and casually walked around the room, deep in thought.
Because of the black pot, he had mastered the Divine Martial Demon Fist very quickly.
As long as he could meet the hard requirements before entering the sect, he would be able to enter the sect very quickly after stepping through the threshold.
However, he felt that the expansion speed of his ‘bottle’ seemed to be relatively slow.
Or rather, the bottle was too sturdy and would not swell so easily from the water.
According to the others, they should have broken through to the fifteenth realm long ago after cultivating the Divine Demon Blood and more than one move of the Divine Martial Demon Fist.
Previously, Chen Luoyang had thought that it was because his injuries had yet to recover.
But now that he had recovered, it didn’t seem like that.
Is it because my soul has yet to truly become one with this body?
Or perhaps, it was because the Black Pot had brought me great help in cultivating the Divine Demon Blood that the current cultivation could not be considered my own?
That didn’t seem right either…
During this period of time, he could clearly feel that the principles of martial arts were gradually integrated into his body.
Although he had taken advantage ot this body and had a good foundation, the two of them had gradually become one.
If not for that, just the mirror at the entrance to his heart would have been enough to make him feel like dying.
Chen Luoyang was deep in thought.
Now that he had mastered Houtu, the fifteenth realm was almost in front of him.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry to kick this last step.
The external situation was unstable, and he still needed to make more preparations.
The mysterious talisman decree that looked like a jade ring in the black pot might be able to give him some help. After he grasped the mysteries within it, it should be enough. However, he still needed to work on it for now, so he could not rush it.
He just didn’t know if his enemy would give him the time.
Chen Luoyang pushed open the door to the quiet room and walked out.
The attendants waiting outside the door quickly followed.
Chen Luoyang used the black pot to update the information regarding Tu Shanyi’s life experiences in the mortal world.
The other party and Xie Chong had returned to the Mortal World together.
Tu Shanyi reported his experiences in the Divine Lands to the people in charge of the situation in the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan.
As expected, it was a mess.
Everyone at the meeting had their own opinions and could not argue for a while without reaching a conclusion.
Although Chen Luoyang didn’t understand the details and didn’t know who was kind to him and who was malicious to him, based on the current situation, it would be very difficult for the Sect Leader to become his assistant. It would be good enough if he didn’t drag him down.
Even if he were to tear off his face and open his heart to find a strong leg to hug, the opposition of that leg would still target him.
If there was any hope, it would depend on how much authority the neutral faction, which was completely loyal to the sect master, had.
However, they had to be willing to speak first.
He hoped that his previous preparations were not in vain.
However, forging iron still depended on one’s own strength.
“Where’s Su Ye?” Chen Luoyang asked to his left and right, and someone immediately replied respectfully, “Reporting to Cult Master, the Right Emissary is in seclusion and hasn’t come out for a while. ‘
“What about that Ban Hongqing?” asked Chen Luoyang.
Reporting to Cult Master, when the Right Emissary went into seclusion, he brought him along. ” the subordinate replied.
“Very good.” Chen Luoyang nodded.
After saying that, he walked towards the place where Su Ye was in seclusion. His subordinates naturally immediately led the way for him..
