Chapter 282: The Spirit's Divine Power is Born from the Laws of Heaven and Earth

As Xu Yan contemplated his insights, he immersed himself in the profound art of the Divine Might Martial Way. The more he delved into it, the clearer the path became.

"I finally understand," he said to himself. "Master drew the patterns of the heavenly laws for me to ponder, wanting me to realize that just as there are laws in heaven and earth, there are also laws for martial artists, and Divine Might is the law of the martial path."

"It's a pity I was too dull-witted to realize Master's true intentions sooner," Xu Yan lamented. If he had understood earlier, he might have already comprehended the Divine Might Martial Way.

"Master's teachings were meant to guide me onto my own unique martial path, not to follow in his footsteps," he continued. "That's why Master never explicitly stated the key points but instead wanted me to discover them through my own enlightenment."

"I should have understood that Master's actions always had a deeper meaning," Xu Yan thought, feeling a twinge of shame as the realization sank in.

Li Xuan, immersed in his study of the Tai Cang Book's heavenly laws, suddenly sensed something and turned his attention to Xu Yan. A slight furrow formed on his brow.

"Has Xu Yan had a breakthrough in his understanding?" Li Xuan wondered.

Xu Yan gradually entered a state of self-forgetfulness, his mind free from all distractions and unaffected by the outside world. His entire being was focused inward, as if on the cusp of enlightenment.

"Divine Might is within reach!" Li Xuan exclaimed with great joy.

"Once one enters the Divine Might realm, Divine Might is born," he continued. "I wonder what Divine Might I will manifest when I attain that realm. And since Xu Yan has also entered the Divine Might realm, the feedback I receive will surely be significant."

Li Xuan's excitement grew as he contemplated the possibilities. "The Four Gates of the Martial Way, especially the Strange Gate, are quite unique. Will they also possess Divine Might? Even if they don't give birth to Divine Might, they will undoubtedly produce abilities that are no less powerful."

"The Divine Might of the Physical Body Martial Way, the Divine Might of the Pill Master Martial Way..." Li Xuan's excitement continued to build.

"The Divine Might that arises from within is akin to the Divine Might of the Primordial Gods," he mused. "It grows stronger as one's realm and strength improve, with no apparent limit."

"Additionally, one can also create Divine Might of the Later Gods," he realized. "This is the Martial Way of Divine Might."

With this thought, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel thrilled. "I should also create some Martial Divine Mights. After all, later martial artists, even if they break through to the Divine Might realm, may not have very strong Divine Might, or they may only possess one type.

"In that case, they will need to cultivate other Martial Divine Mights. Now that the Divine Might realm has been achieved, how can there be a lack of Divine Might techniques?"

With this in mind, Li Xuan began to ponder how to create Martial Divine Mights.

"There are strong and weak Divine Mights, with minor and major distinctions," he noted. "The Divine Might that arises from within may not necessarily be stronger than the Divine Might that is created."

"For example, the Divine Might that Stone Er and Zhou Ying manifest may only be minor Divine Mights," he speculated. "If one's innate Divine Might is not strong, they can compensate by cultivating more powerful Divine Mights. This is where the true strength of the Great Wilderness Martial Way lies."

Li Xuan's thoughts stirred, and the door to the Martial Divine Might began to reveal itself in his mind.

Creating Martial Divine Mights! By further refining this concept, in addition to the innate Divine Might, one could cultivate Divine Might acquired later in life, and these created Divine Mights would undoubtedly include some powerful abilities.

"As a Martial Ancestor, I've devoted so much effort to the Martial Way," Li Xuan sighed inwardly. "I might as well take the time to compile a Martial Divine Might manual."

The Martial Divine Might manual would encompass both major and minor Divine Mights, as well as various techniques.

"Looks like I've got my work cut out for me again," Li Xuan thought with a mental sigh. He knew that creating Divine Mights would require significant effort and mental exertion.

Of course, there was no rush at the moment, as he himself didn't yet know what Divine Might was. He would have to wait until he broke through to the Divine Might realm and comprehended the mysteries of Divine Might before he could use that foundation to create various Divine Mights.

As for whether the created Divine Mights could be cultivated, Li Xuan wasn't concerned. Even if his four disciples didn't cultivate or comprehend them, he could pass them on, and surely some later genius would be able to understand them.

In this world, there might not be another freak like Xu Yan, but there would be no shortage of proud sons of heaven. Someone would eventually be able to comprehend the Divine Mights.

Moreover, with the assistance of the Great Dao Golden Book, the Divine Mights he created would be relatively complete, and the difficulty of comprehension would be reduced. Even if the major Divine Mights were challenging to understand, the minor Divine Mights should be within reach.

Although Xu Yan had realized the true meaning of Divine Might, it would still take him a little time to fully comprehend the Martial Way of the Divine Might realm.

However, it would only be a matter of a few days.

Li Xuan continued to delve into the heavenly laws on the eighth page of the Tai Cang Book, awaiting the moment when Xu Yan would completely comprehend the Martial Way of the Divine Might realm.

On the third day of Xu Yan's contemplation of the Martial Way of the Divine Might realm, a message arrived: The Wan Shi Alliance's Luozhou League had been exposed, and they were engaged in a fierce battle with the Lingzong family.

Moreover, they were calling upon loose cultivators to unite and stand against the Lingzong family, and they seemed to have the upper hand.

"Are the Lingzong family and the aristocratic families of Luozhou so weak?" Fang Hao asked, his face filled with confusion.

"The foundations of the Lingzong family and the aristocratic clans are not so easily shaken," Li Xuan explained. "Moreover, the fact that the Wan Shi Alliance was exposed passively indicates that the Lingzong family already has a good grasp on them. The only uncertainty lies in the strength of these loose cultivators, which may have exceeded expectations."

"But that's all there is to it," he continued, his tone skeptical. "Once the Lingzong family recovers from this surprise, they will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the Luozhou League. And the stronger members of the Lingzong family have yet to make their move."

"Aside from loose cultivators who hold deep grudges against the Lingzong family and the aristocratic clans, the rest will remain spectators, or even turn against the Wan Shi Alliance to curry favor with the Lingzong family," Li Xuan added. "Additionally, the Alliance's slogan is too bland and uninspiring."

At this point, Li Xuan felt it necessary to educate Fang Hao, his disciple and the leader of the Wan Shi Alliance's Yuzhou League. He needed to ensure that Fang Hao didn't make the same mistakes and harbor unrealistic expectations of garnering support from all loose cultivators.

"Instead of calling for unity among loose cultivators, it would be more effective to invoke a sense of rebellion with a slogan like, 'Are the nobility born from a different breed?' Those with passion and ambition will naturally respond," Li Xuan advised. "Loose cultivators in the Spirit Realm have been subdued by the Lingzong family for too long. Their minds are filled with nothing but aspirations to join the ranks of the Lingzong family and aristocratic clans, believing that it will elevate them to a higher status."

"Be wary of such cultivators," he cautioned Fang Hao. "Once they become part of the Lingzong family, they can be the cruelest to their fellow loose cultivators. Don't be too naive about this."

"For the Wan Shi Alliance to succeed," Li Xuan continued, "it needs not only the strength to counter the Lingzong family and aristocratic clans but also to offer tangible benefits to the loose cultivators of the world. Promise them a share of the Lingzong family's resources if they help bring them down..."

Fang Hao's eyes widened as he listened to his master's teachings, his mind opening to new possibilities. He realized that there was a different approach to gaining support, and he understood that for the Wan Shi Alliance to succeed, they needed the strength to challenge the seemingly invincible Lingzong family.

Otherwise, all their efforts would amount to nothing.

As for the true strength of the Wan Shi Alliance, even Fang Hao wasn't entirely sure. Although Yu Gao had hinted at the presence of numerous powerful cultivators within their ranks, the full extent of their capabilities remained unknown.

After imparting these words of wisdom to Fang Hao, Li Xuan returned to his study of the Tai Cang Book. Suddenly, the golden book of the Dao appeared in his spiritual platform, emitting a dazzling golden light.

This sight filled him with excitement.

Xu Yan had finally comprehended the divine power of the Spirit God Realm through his self-created martial way!

"Your disciple, Xu Yan, has comprehended the martial way of the Spirit God Realm that you fabricated, and you have broken through to the Spirit God Realm as well!"

Boom!

In that instant, Li Xuan felt his divine sense and divine will merging, his entire being undergoing a sublime transformation. His Niwan Palace glowed with radiant light, and his spiritual platform expanded, becoming more pure and profound.

As his divine sense condensed, a humanoid figure took shape on his spiritual platform.

Li Xuan sensed the changes within himself and marveled at the mysteries of his divine sense. He had now fully grasped the martial way of the Spirit God Realm, and his heart swelled with awe and excitement.

Xu Yan had truly lived up to his reputation as the pioneer of his martial way!

Divine power, the law of the martial artist!

The law cultivated by martial artists!

On his spiritual platform, Li Xuan opened his eyes, and at that moment, his divine sense was almost indistinguishable from his physical body.

He raised his hand, and the golden book of the Dao landed in his palm, its immensity overwhelming him as if he were grasping the very essence of the Dao.

Holding the book in one hand, he let the golden light envelop his divine sense.

A smile appeared on the face of Li Xuan's divine sense, which hovered above his spiritual platform.

"So this is the martial divine sense!" Li Xuan exclaimed, truly grasping the immense power of the Spirit God Realm that he had fabricated.

The heavenly laws of the Tai Cang Book, etched into his memory, had finally revealed their mysteries to him. He had comprehended the profundities of the first page, gaining a profound understanding of the wonders of the heavenly laws.

"With your breakthrough to the Spirit God Realm and the condensation of your martial divine sense, you have obtained the Spirit God Technique 'Modeling Heaven and Earth'!"

Boom!

In that moment, Li Xuan's divine power was born.

"Modeling Heaven and Earth," he murmured, his heart filled with joy. "What a formidable divine power this is!"

"With your breakthrough to the Spirit God Realm and the condensation of your martial divine sense, you have obtained the Spirit God Technique 'Sword Cosmos'!"

A second divine power was born, as he had anticipated—a sword-based divine power.

"Sword Cosmos," he whispered. "Within the sword, there is a cosmos. Life and death hang by a thread within that cosmos!"

"Excellent! Truly powerful!" Li Xuan exclaimed, thrilled by the might of this divine power.

With the condensation of his divine sense, he had acquired two divine powers, both of which were preeminent divine powers of the martial way.

"With your breakthrough to the Spirit God Realm and the condensation of your martial divine sense, you have obtained the Spirit God Technique 'Calm-Cutting Divine Sword'!"

A third divine power emerged, also related to the sword.

"This sword divine power is extraordinary!" Li Xuan's eyes lit up with excitement.

The Calm-Cutting Divine Sword required only a trace of the enemy's aura. No matter how far away they were or where they hid, a single sword strike would be enough to sever their divine soul!

"As your realm and strength increase, this divine power will become akin to the causal divine power," he realized. "Even without the enemy's aura, a single sword strike from a distance will be enough to eliminate them!"

There was no doubt that this sword divine power was incredibly powerful, allowing him to strike down his enemies no matter where they fled.

"You've broken through to the Divine Might realm and condensed your Martial Dao primordial spirit. You've obtained the Divine Might, 'Divine Dragon's Descent'!"

And with that, another Martial Divine Might was born.

However, this Divine Might belonged to the Dragon Descending Palm, and when unleashed, it was like summoning a true divine dragon.

Naturally, the might of the Divine Dragon's Descent was relative to one's realm.

Nevertheless, the power of this Divine Might was extraordinary and possessed the true strength of a divine dragon.

"The Dragon Descending Palm eventually becomes a Divine Might. I never expected that I would truly summon a dragon with my palm!"

Li Xuan felt a bit embarrassed. He had initially fooled Xu Yan with the idea of summoning a dragon, never imagining that it would come true in the end.

"Four Divine Mights!"

Li Xuan was thrilled. With his entry into the Divine Might realm and the condensation of his primordial spirit, he had acquired four Divine Mights.

"You've broken through to the Divine Might realm and condensed your Martial Dao primordial spirit. You've obtained the Divine Might, 'Instantaneous Heaven and Earth'!"

A fifth Divine Might was born—Instantaneous Heaven and Earth!

"This is a speed-type Divine Might. Crossing the heavens and earth in an instant is faster than even the Thunder Crossing the Void."

Li Xuan was filled with emotion.

Thunder Crossing the Void was indeed powerful. Once fully unleashed, it could cross the void like thunder.

But Instantaneous Heaven and Earth was even faster, allowing one to traverse the entire world in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, one could cross the heavens and earth.

Of course, the power of the Divine Might was dependent on one's strength.

Obviously, even though Li Xuan had broken through to the Divine Might realm, he couldn't instantly cross the vast heavens and earth with a single step.

"Only five Divine Mights so far."

After the birth of Instantaneous Heaven and Earth, no more Divine Mights emerged, leaving Li Xuan feeling a bit disappointed.

"But this is enough. Law of Heaven and Man, Sword Cosmos, Calm-Cutting Divine Sword, Divine Dragon's Descent, and Instantaneous Heaven and Earth... Each of these Divine Mights is unique and powerful!"

Li Xuan felt he should be content.

The Law of Heaven and Man was far superior to the Six Feet Golden Body. When combined, it would be even more terrifying.

Sword Cosmos integrated offense and defense and was unmatched in sword techniques.

Divine Dragon's Descent was a peerlessly domineering Divine Might. Who could stand against a descending divine dragon?

"I obtained these Divine Mights when I broke through to the Divine Might realm. When Xu Yan breaks through, there will definitely be feedback, and I will gain more Divine Mights then.

"The same goes for Meng Chong. He will obtain a physical body Divine Might, and the Six Feet Golden Body will definitely evolve into a powerful Divine Might, similar to the Law of Heaven and Man.

"When Su Lingxiu breaks through, she will also gain feedback and obtain a pill master's Divine Might..."

With these thoughts, Li Xuan was filled with anticipation.

After breaking through to the Divine Might realm, his Martial Dao progressed even further, and he had a profound understanding of Divine Mights. The next step was to put his knowledge into action and compile a manual of Martial Divine Mights.

"There are definitely major and minor Divine Mights. Although the Divine Mights I've obtained are all major ones, someone like Stone Er might not obtain such powerful Divine Mights when he breaks through to the Divine Might realm.

"Let's use the perfection and strength of the Martial Dao laws as a standard to distinguish between major and minor Divine Mights."

Li Xuan thought to himself.

"Since I'm compiling Divine Mights, I should also categorize them—offensive Divine Mights, defensive Divine Mights, speed Divine Mights, and so on."

Compiling a manual of Martial Divine Mights was not something that could be done overnight, and it would undoubtedly be a challenging task. However, for the prosperity and perfection of his Martial Dao, Li Xuan was determined to persevere.

"Once the Divine Might manual is complete, I'll give a copy to each of my disciples. They can study and comprehend as much as they can."

Li Xuan smiled.

Now that the Divine Might manual was taking shape, he couldn't let it gather dust. He would give it to his disciples so that they could study and gain insight into these Divine Mights.

"Now that I've entered the Divine Might realm, who in the Spirit Realm can be my opponent? Can the strongest experts of the Superlative Spirit Sect withstand a single palm strike from me? If dozens of them were to besiege me, could they withstand a single full-powered strike?"

Li Xuan was full of confidence at this moment. Breaking through to the Divine Might realm didn't just grant him powerful Divine Mights, but every movement and technique he executed now carried the might of a Divine Might. He had truly reached a whole new level!
