94. Fist Intent

"Immortality..."

Zhao Kongming murmured softly.

Then, he sighed deeply, "Indeed, the Martial Dao can grant immortality. However, achieving immortality through the Martial Dao is difficult! Extremely difficult! Even harder than reaching the heavens!"

Lin Fei frowned. Of course, he knew it was difficult. There were so many people in the world. If it were easy, wouldn't everyone be immortal? That was simply impossible!

Nevertheless, no matter how difficult, Lin Fei was confident.

"Please enlighten me, Master. How can one achieve immortality through the Martial Dao?"

Lin Fei asked solemnly. This had always been his doubt.

Martial artists practiced their skills, inner power, and true qi, step by step. Since none of these could grant immortality, how could the Martial Dao lead to immortality?

Zhao Kongming glanced at Lin Fei, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he slowly said, "I didn't tell you before because I feared you would aim too high and lose more than you gained. However, since you've comprehended the saber intent, which is comparable to the innate realm, there's no harm in telling you.

Martial artists are divided into Body Refining, Acquired, and Innate. Body Refining refines one's blood, muscles, and skin, enhancing physical qualities. Acquired cultivates inner power, while Innate cultivates true qi. Neither inner power nor true qi can grant immortality.

The reason lies in our bodies, which are merely mortal flesh. According to Qi cultivators, they are mundane. To attain immortality, one must transcend the mundane. At the very least, the body must not be composed of mortal flesh.

When a martial artist reaches Innate Perfection, or the Grand Master realm, no matter how much they practice, their true qi has reached its limit, and even their body has reached its limit, unable to advance.

At this point, we must build our foundation, transforming our bodies. The so-called foundation building is the establishment of the foundation for immortality.

Qi cultivators build the foundation for the Immortal Dao, while we martial artists build the foundation for the Martial Dao. Once the foundation is successfully built, both martial artists and Qi cultivators will undergo a rebirth, gaining extended lifespans.

Those who succeed in building their foundation will have a lifespan of at least several hundred years!"

A glint flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Foundation building, the foundation of the immortal Dao, and the foundation of the Martial Dao. Both are the basis for immortality. So that's how it is..."

Lin Fei understood. He understood completely.

Whether a martial artist or a Qi cultivator must build the foundation to achieve immortality. Otherwise, they would remain mortal flesh, forever unable to attain immortality.

"Since one can build their foundation, why couldn't the founder achieve immortality?" Lin Fei asked again.

"Yes, everyone knows that building one's foundation can lead to immortality. But, how many can actually do it? Those Qi cultivators, high and mighty. Do you really think it's because they have magical artifacts and spells?

Actually, it's not. Qi cultivators look down on martial artists simply because it's relatively easier for them to build their foundation compared to us. Qi cultivators study the Dao, nature, and the universe. They have created miraculous elixirs like the Foundation Establishment Pill.

By taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, Qi cultivators can make up for some of their shortcomings, thus successfully building their foundation. This is what they call seizing the fortunes of heaven and earth.

Lin Fei closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. In his mind, the Quadruple Wave Technique appeared. It was like a violent wave.

But at this moment, the founder's fist intent surrounded the Quadruple Wave Technique. Then, it seemed like countless fist techniques were demonstrated to the Quadruple Wave Technique.

Immediately after, Lin Fei's mind heard the system's voice.

"Your Quadruple Wave Technique is being ravaged by the fist intent of the perfection realm, feeling depressed, in unbearable pain, and unwilling to cultivate."

The voice in Lin Fei's mind made him slightly stunned. The Quadruple Wave Technique was unwilling to cultivate?

In his mind, Lin Fei could "see" it.

The Quadruple Wave Technique was indeed tragic, ravaged by the perfection realm's fist intent, without any power to resist.

However, it was so badly ravaged that the Quadruple Wave Technique had become unwilling to cultivate.

Isn't this a bit counterproductive?

But soon, Lin Fei's mind heard the system's voice again.

"Your Quadruple Wave Technique was defeated by the fist intent, realized its own shortcomings, became determined to make up for them, and increased its cultivation progress by 10%."

"Your Quadruple Wave Technique was stimulated by the perfection realm's fist intent and decided to strive harder, raising its cultivation progress by 10%."

"Your Quadruple Wave Technique has fallen into sudden enlightenment..."

Lin Fei remained motionless in front of the stone tablet. The system's voice kept ringing in his mind, one after another.

Lin Fei didn't pay any attention to it.

10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%...

Finally, Lin Fei's Quadruple Wave Technique's cultivation progress increased by 50%.

Adding the original 50%, the cultivation progress of the Quadruple Wave Technique reached 100%.

"Boom."

The next moment, in Lin Fei's mind, the wave transformed by the Quadruple Wave Technique suddenly expanded. At the same time, an earth-shattering momentum burst out from Lin Fei's body. Vaguely, a huge fist seemed to appear above Lin Fei's head!

"Fist intent!"

Zhao Kongming suddenly looked up, staring at the top of Lin Fei's head.

His heart was filled with immense shock!
