Xu Yan sheathed his sword, standing proud.
Hu Shan’s lips quivered, his face horribly pale, eyes wide in disbelief.
This was his original creation!
He just used it, and it was immediately stolen by the opponent?
And used better, stronger than him!
Is this some kind of demon? With such an ability, who among the world’s swordsmen and martial artists can stand against him?
Who could possibly cross swords with him?
Unless, with a higher realm, he crushes with absolute power.
Otherwise, within the same realm, he is invincible!
No!
He could even cross realms to fight!
At this moment, he had to believe what Xu Yan said was true. He learned the swordsmanship on the spot and used it as he pleased.
Xie Lingfeng was somewhat dispirited!
This battle had impacted him greatly, he began to question his life.
His confidence in his gift for sword Dao began to waver!
After a while, he managed to calm his mind slightly, sheathed his sword, took a deep breath and bowed, “Brother Xu, I admit defeat!”
Although, he hadn’t really lost yet.
However, Xie Lingfeng knew he could not win.
His swordsmanship was completely understood by the opponent, and he could only remain undefeated by relying on a stronger realm.
“You haven’t lost, I haven’t defeated you yet!”
Xu Yan thought about it and said honestly.
Xie Lingfeng was strong, his swordsmanship was proficient, all he lacked was a clear understanding of the sword.
Although he could see through Xie Lingfeng’s weak swordsmanship, with his current strength, he couldn’t guarantee that he would seize the fleeting opportunity.
In addition, Xie Lingfeng was remarkable at adapting to changes, and even if he seized the weak points to counterattack, it might not necessarily result in his defeat.
However, if the battle really continued, Xu Yan felt that he could win.
But the opponent was already dispirited, so it would be better to leave some room for maneuver.
Xie Lingfeng gave a bitter smile. His swordsmanship was completely understood by the opponent. It was absolutely impossible for him to win. He could only be defeated. It was only a matter of time.
Xu Yan was just comforting him.
After a long silence, Xie Lingfeng said, “1 started learning the sword at the age of six, and after twenty years, 1 became the youngest Grandmaster martial artist on Sword Sovereign Cliff in a thousand years.
“Throughout the Inner Domain, 1 believed there was no one of my generation who could defeat me. Today, after a battle with Brother Xu, 1 realized that there are people beyond people.
“However, 1 have many doubts in my heart, I wonder if Brother Xu can enlighten me.”
Xu Yan considered it. Xie Lingfeng’s attitude was decent, he was not arrogant, and Xu Yan also wanted to learn about the Inner Domain from Xie Lingfeng to prepare for his future visit.
So he nodded and said, “Sure!”
Xie Lingfeng stared at Xu Yan and asked, “Brother Xu, are you a Border Desolate native?”
Xu Yan chuckled, saying, “1 know what you want to ask, and I’m not afraid to tell you, I am the Border Desolate person you speak of.
“You definitely want to ask, how did 1 become a martial artist?
“In the Border Desolate, there is no Heavenly Earth Lingji, and thus, cultivation into a martial artist should be impossible, right?”
Xie Lingfeng nodded, saying, “Exactly!”
He was genuinely stunned. A martial artist from the Border Desolate, and so strong at that.
“The true martial arts don’t concern themselves with the world they are in. Even if the world lacks the Lingji, by using oneself as a bridge, one can still connect with Heaven and Earth, and become a martial artist…”
Xu Yan said solemnly.
“True martial arts?”
Xie Lingfeng furrowed his brows, what is true martial arts?
Could it be that what he had been cultivating was false martial arts?
An absurd thought welled up in his heart.
“Yes, the true Martial Arts, and what you in the Inner Domain practice is actually pseudo martial arts!”
Xu Yan nodded.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible, nonsense!”
Hu Shan jumped up and shouted.
What nonsense!
The Inner Domain cultivates pseudo martial arts? The Border Desolate practices the true martial arts?
The greatest fallacy under the sky!
“I know it’s hard for you to accept, but this is the truth!”
Xu Yan wasn’t surprised by their reaction.
Anyone who has been cultivating for most of their life, suddenly being told that what they have been cultivating is false, who would accept that!
Xie Lingfeng’s face grew solemn, and he said in a deep voice, “Brother Xu, what makes you say this? My martial arts, could they possibly be false martial arts? No more than there being some differences between the two, it’s not a matter of true or false, right?”
If the martial arts he cultivated were false, wouldn’t the legacy of the Sword Master Cliff also be false martial arts?
Is all of the martial arts in the Inner Realm fake?
He simply couldn’t accept such a conclusion. Once it spreads, how many martial artists will rage, how many faction legacies will be filled with murderous intent, this would shake the foundation of the martial arts in the Inner Realm.
“Come, come, come, let’s discuss martial arts. Clarity will make you understand why it’s considered false martial arts!”
Xu Yan’s spirit revived, his face filled with excitement.
Discuss martial arts!
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were energized. Discuss martial arts!
“Alright!”
Xie Lingfeng sat down cross-legged.
“Should 1 start, or will you?”
Xu Yan’s face was filled with excitement.
Finally, someone could discuss martial arts with him. He wanted to tell Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan what real martial arts were like.
H
1’11 go first.”
Xie Lingfeng started to speak.
“Good, please proceed!”
Xu Yan nodded.
“Martial arts begins from the Ninth Grade… a First Grade, is already a martial arts master. Breaking through the First Grade shackles, drawing nature’s spiritual energy into the body, condensing the martial arts Inner Qi, means one becomes a Qi Cultivation Grandmaster. This is a strong practitioner within martial arts, and above the Qi Cultivation Grandmaster, is the Qi Cultivation Great Grandmaster…
“A Qi Cultivation Great Grandmaster’s Inner Qi flows like rivers, circulating throughout the body like blood…”
Xie Lingfeng started from the beginning of martial arts, the Ninth Grade stage, and all the way up to the Qi Cultivation Great Grandmaster stage.
This was the martial art of the Inner Realm.
Xu Yan listened with fascination. Xie Lingfeng’s explanation was more detailed and complete than the one given by the Bloodless Heart, giving him a true understanding of the Inner Realm martial art.
The Inner Realm martial arts was not without its merits.
However, Xu Yan remained adamant in his belief that the Inner Realm martial arts were false.
His conviction only strengthened.
Li Xuan, who had been watching quietly, couldn’t help but sigh after listening to Xie Lingfeng’s explanation: “The martial arts of the Inner Realm is indeed very strong, but it’s ultimately not as good as the martial arts 1 created. If my martial arts were more widely practiced, once it spreads, 1 fear it would have a significant impact on the Inner Realm martial arts.”
All martial artists yearn for power.
They all want to cultivate more powerful techniques, and the martial arts he created was stronger than those in the Inner Realm. Once spread, the Inner Realm martial arts would gradually be abandoned.
And those martial arts forces with long-standing legacies, certainly would not accept this easily. Moreover, with the huge number of believers in the Inner Realm martial arts, this would inevitably trigger a vigorous dispute over the truth and falsehood of martial arts.
Of course, the premise of all this was that he’d spread his martial art, and it had gained some scale and attention.
There would be no danger for Xu Yan on this journey. Xie Lingfeng and the others did not act arrogantly for coming from the Inner Realm, so Li Xuan didn’t stay on.
The final result of the martial arts discussion, he could predict.
“Brother Xu, it’s your turn!”
After Xie Lingfeng finished speaking, he seriously turned his gaze at Xu Yan.
“Alright!”
Xu Yan nodded, and began to speak, “To practice martial arts, you first need to have a solid foundation. This foundation begins from refining the skin… the one who temper into golden bones is the pride of the ancient times. Once golden bones are formed, even if they are buried underground for ten thousand years after death, they will remain golden and brilliant, and their hardness surpasses steel…”
“Wait a minute!”
Xie Lingfeng interrupted.
His brain was buzzing at that moment. The foundation of martial arts is refining the skin? Mastering skin refining makes it hard for common blades or swords to harm you?
Then refining bones, and even dividing it into iron bones, copper bones, and golden bones?
After refining into golden bones, even if you die and are buried underground for ten thousand years, the bones will still be golden and brilliant, and even harder than steel?
This sounded very mystical, and surreal.
He felt his head buzzing, and even a bit burning, as if his brain was on fire.
“You said, golden bones buried in the ground, are still brilliant golden after ten thousand years?”
Is this the basic stage of martial arts?
“Yes!”
Xu Yan nodded, “Only with a solid foundation can we get to the core of martial arts. Above golden bones are jade bones, which are flawless and ever enduring!”
Xie Lingfeng scratched his head, he felt his brain burning, under extreme shock.
Is martial arts like this?
So mystical?
Is what 1 practiced really false martial arts?
“Brother Xie, are you alright?”
Xu Yan looked at Xie Lingfeng, whose hair was disheveled, his face flushed, and his entire being seemed off.
“The blow of learning that what he has been practicing is false martial arts is too great. Sigh, 1 shouldn’t have been so blunt with him.”
Xu Yan sighed in his heart..
