Chapter 29: Xu Yan's Enlightenment of the Qi and Blood Realm's Manual
Chapter 29: Xu Yan's Enlightenment of the Qi and Blood Realm's Manual
Even though Xu Yan had entered the path of martial arts, his days remained unchanged. He continued his routine of cooking and feeding the chickens while Li Xuan seemed to carry on with his usual carefree demeanor.
However, behind the scenes, Li Xuan was scratching his head, pondering how to fabricate a cultivation framework for the Innate Realm, as well as its theory and manual.
Aside from the Innate Realm, he also needed to conceptualize the direction of cultivation for the subsequent realms.
By laying this theoretical foundation, he would be able to blindly concoct future realms and techniques more effectively.
If the techniques he fabricated were not profound enough, Li Xuan's cultivation would not be strong enough, and the depth of his insight would be insufficient to allow Xu Yan, that monster, to truly comprehend them.
On the other hand, if he made them too abstruse and detached from the framework, he feared that Xu Yan might not be able to connect the dots and get stuck in his cultivation of the Qi and Blood Realm!
"Damn, this is too difficult!"
Li Xuan sighed inwardly.
With this pressure on his mind, he found it hard to let go and be creative, feeling restrained in his fabrication.
But if he just made things up as he went along, he worried that Xu Yan might not be able to comprehend them, stalling his cultivation in the Qi and Blood Realm, which would ultimately be detrimental to Xu Yan himself.
Over here, Li Xuan was secretly troubled by the task of concocting the Innate Realm's cultivation technique.
Xu Yan, on the other hand, had been scratching his head for days, trying to comprehend the four-line manual. Yet, he made no progress, and his heart was filled with gloom.
"If I can't even comprehend something as simple as this manual, Master will surely be disappointed.
"What's the point of refining my bones if I can't understand the manual? How can I continue on the path of martial arts?
"Martial arts have no limits. If I can't even grasp something as basic as this manual, how can I hope to cultivate a more powerful and profound state?"
Xu Yan frowned, deep in thought.
Suddenly, he recalled his master's words.
"Master said that even if I can't comprehend it, it won't hinder my cultivation...
"I've been too focused on the manual, exhausting my mental energy, and neglecting my cultivation.
"What Master was really telling me was not to get too caught up in it. It's through cultivation that I'll be able to understand the wonders contained within..."
After this epiphany, Xu Yan's eyes lit up.
He immediately calmed his mind and began to cultivate, carefully sensing the flow and gradual enhancement of his qi and blood, with a single-minded focus.
However, during his cultivation breaks, the four lines of the manual would occasionally pop into his mind.
As he cultivated, Xu Yan gradually began to comprehend the meaning behind the lines: "A thousand streams and ten thousand rivers converge to form a great river... Each time I cultivate, my qi and blood strengthen and increase, drop by drop. Isn't that like the gathering of a thousand streams and ten thousand rivers?
"The ten thousand rivers flow into the great ocean... The essence of this line is to gather qi and blood, forming an ocean within the body... No, it's about making the body like an ocean, accommodating the qi and blood.
"The surging waves stir up a thousand layers of foam, and the qi and blood can shake ten thousand mountains—qi and blood should not be calm, but like a torrent, like surging waves, to stimulate it and effectively strengthen the physique.
"Qi and blood can shake ten thousand mountains, implying that the bones are like mountains, shaken by the qi and blood..."
Xu Yan's mind lit up, and he felt that the essence of the four-line manual had finally revealed itself to him.
At that moment, he vaguely comprehended the wonders of martial arts contained within.
"The qi and blood converge, like a torrent, like surging waves; striking the jade bones... The entire body becomes an ocean..."
Xu Yan was immersed in this realization, and the qi and blood within his body gradually flowed like a torrent, layer upon layer, constantly pounding against his bones.
"I understand!"
At a certain moment, Xu Yan's heart stirred with excitement as he suddenly grasped the hidden wonders of martial arts within the four-line manual.
His bones trembled, and a series of booms resonated throughout his body, as if thunder rumbled within him.
The sound was not loud, as if it reverberated only within his body.
At that moment, strands of qi and blood emerged and circulated throughout his body in a new way. His bone marrow flowed like rivers, constantly generating qi and blood, and the process became faster and more abundant.
At the same time, the qi and blood within his body surged like a torrent, constantly circulating and pounding against his bones. The qi and blood struck his bones and rebounded, causing waves throughout his body.
With each rebound of qi and blood, his physical body was strengthened, and the qi and blood were purified, becoming more potent.
The vigorous qi and blood surrounded his body, and with each breath, his chest and abdomen rumbled, the qi and blood boiled, and a fierce aura surged like flames.
However, after cultivating with this newfound comprehension for a while, Xu Yan could feel his own improvement.
It was an all-around enhancement, both in his physical body and his qi and blood.
"The manual Master taught me is truly profound. As I suspected, cultivating after comprehending the manual is different from before.
"After understanding the manual, my progress is faster, and my qi and blood have become more powerful."
Xu Yan's heart was filled with excitement.
"I've finally comprehended the manual; I won't let Master down!"
He felt invigorated.
...
Li Xuan was in the process of concocting the cultivation method for the Innate Realm, focusing on its theoretical framework and how it connected to the Qi and Blood Realm.
The first thing he had decided on was that the Innate Realm cultivated true qi!
All the qi and blood in the body would be transformed into Innate True Qi, and to achieve this transformation, a process was required. The first step was to open the Heavenly Bridge!
"After opening the Heavenly Bridge, the qi and blood circulate through the body and transform into Innate True Qi... Only by opening the Heavenly Bridge can one absorb the heaven and earth's spiritual energy and transform it into true qi...
"Those in the Innate Realm can absorb and expel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, ride the wind and fly, and travel a hundred miles in an instant. They are no longer ordinary mortals..."
The more Li Xuan pondered, the more he felt that this fabricated theory was extremely realistic, with a perfect theory and a solid framework.
All that was left was for his foolish disciple, Xu Yan, to figure it out.
The only problem was...
Li Xuan looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "Does this world have spiritual energy? If not, wouldn't all this be for nothing?
"The air here is so fresh and sweet; there should be spiritual energy, right?"
Whether spiritual energy existed or not, the Innate Realm was about absorbing and expelling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining it into Innate True Qi, and returning to the innate from the acquired, thus transcending the mortal body.
"I've made the second realm so lofty, and once cultivated, it will already be very powerful. For the following realms, I'll have to continue in this abstruse direction to ensure sufficient strength."
Li Xuan sighed inwardly; fabricating cultivation techniques was no easy task.
However, after several days of contemplation, he finally managed to concoct the cultivation method for the Innate Realm.
Theoretically, it could connect to the Qi and Blood Realm.
Whether it would succeed or not depended entirely on Xu Yan.
"There's no need to rush to teach this to Xu Yan. He has just entered the Qi and Blood Realm, so I should let him get familiar with it first.
"Otherwise, if he hasn't even grasped the Qi and Blood Realm manual and has to start comprehending the Innate Realm technique, what if he can't wrap his head around it? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?"
Li Xuan decided to hold off for a while, at least until Xu Yan had cultivated the Qi and Blood Realm to a greater degree, or at the very least, comprehended the four-line manual.
"I wonder if that foolish disciple has made any progress with the manual. It's not abstruse enough and a bit too general. Next time, I'll have to make it more profound and meaningful, and it should be more relevant to the cultivation realm."
Li Xuan secretly noted his experience, resolving to make the next manual more abstruse, with a deeper essence, and more closely tied to the cultivation realm.
It shouldn't be too general; otherwise, it would be difficult to comprehend.
