Chapter 37: Today, This Master Will Show You My Skills (Please Continue Reading)
Li Xuan sat in his chair, appearing relaxed, but with a hint of worry in his heart.
It had been a long time, and Xu Yan had not yet mastered the Dragon Subduing Palm. Had the technique he created been too vague, making it difficult to comprehend?
"No rush. Seeing progress is a sign of hope," Li Xuan reassured himself.
"Even if he doesn't master the Dragon Subduing Palm, as long as his cultivation continues to improve and he can reach the Innate Realm, that will do. Worst comes to worst, I can just say he lacks the talent for the Dragon Subduing Palm."
"Should I teach him swordsmanship? That should be easier to cultivate, and Xu Yan might have a talent for it."
Li Xuan pondered how to teach Xu Yan swordsmanship if he decided to go down that path. Xu Yan always carried a sword with him, indicating his interest in sword techniques, and suggesting that he might have a strong talent for swordsmanship.
How should he teach him swordsmanship? That was the question. After all, Li Xuan didn't know any sword techniques or moves; he could only gesture vaguely. The real challenge was creating a set of swordsmanship theories that Xu Yan could understand and comprehend.
"Let's wait a little longer. Perhaps, at some point, he'll have a flash of insight and successfully cultivate the Dragon Subduing Palm."
Li Xuan focused his mind, trying once again to probe the golden light, but to no avail.
"What's the deal with this golden finger? Can I only use it passively?"
He shifted his body to get into a more comfortable position.
Originally, he had planned to move after Xu Yan returned this time. However, since he had to continue teaching Xu Yan martial skills, he would have to stay in the small village for a while longer.
"Your disciple is cultivating the Dragon Subduing Palm that you created. Your own Dragon Subduing Palm has reached perfection, and its power is ten times that of the same realm."
Suddenly, the golden light appeared.
Rumble!
Li Xuan's mind was filled with the true meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm, instantly elevating it to the level of perfection, and its power increased tenfold compared to the same realm.
In an instant, his eyes seemed to reflect the image of eighteen hundred-foot-long dragons roaring and spiraling!
"Damn! My disciple is amazing! He actually cultivated it!" Li Xuan was thrilled.
He jumped up from his chair and left the village.
He arrived at the hill where Xu Yan had been cultivating and saw from a distance two red dragons, each seventy to eighty feet long, spiraling and dancing with agility. They slammed into the ground, creating a massive pit.
Li Xuan's curiosity was piqued.
"Not bad, disciple. You've barely managed to grasp the basics of the Dragon Subduing Palm." Li Xuan's steps were casual, and his tone carried a hint of satisfaction.
"Master!" Xu Yan stopped cultivating and bowed respectfully. "It's all thanks to your excellent guidance."
Li Xuan looked at the ground, which was covered in pits of various sizes, and the surrounding vegetation had been completely destroyed.
"Your Dragon Subduing Palm has form, but it lacks vitality. Since you've managed to cultivate it, I no longer need to worry about affecting your cultivation. Today, let me show you the true power of the Dragon Subduing Palm at the Qi and Blood Realm."
Li Xuan emphasized that this was the Dragon Subduing Palm of the Qi and Blood Realm and not his true strength.
"Yes, Master!" Xu Yan was thrilled.
He was eager to witness his master's display of the Dragon Subduing Palm at the Qi and Blood Realm, hoping to gain some insights from it.
"Watch closely!" Li Xuan raised his hand and struck out with a palm.
Roar!
A golden hundred-foot-long dragon burst forth, its head thrown back as it let out a dragon's roar, as if it were alive.
Rumble!
The golden dragon flew out, its claws tearing apart a large tree. Its tail swept across the ground, creating a deep furrow.
Boom!
Finally, the golden dragon slammed into the ground, creating a massive pit!
Li Xuan's expression remained calm, as if he had merely waved his hand casually, and it was no big deal. But in reality, he was thrilled.
Even if Xu Yan had cultivated it to Great Perfection, it would not have had such might.
This was the true strength of a master! After all, Li Xuan's Dragon Subduing Palm was ten times more powerful than any other at the same realm.
Xu Yan's eyes widened in shock.
"This is just the Qi and Blood Realm's Dragon Subduing Palm? It's terrifying! With such power, one could easily take on an entire army.
"Master casually waved his hand, and yet the force was so overwhelming.
"And Master's Dragon Subduing Palm actually roared like a living dragon.
"I still have a long way to go!"
Xu Yan's heart was filled with awe. He had become aware of his own shortcomings.
His Dragon Subduing Palm lacked vitality. Compared to his master's, it still seemed stiff.
"Dragons possess divine abilities and adapt to the situation. So, this is what the true meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm in the oral transmission should be. This is just the Qi and Blood Realm's dragon. I wonder if a higher realm would allow one to manifest a dragon with true divine abilities?"
The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more he marveled at the profoundness and power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.
However, his own understanding of the oral transmission was still superficial.
Seeing his disciple's astonished expression, Li Xuan felt pleased. With his hands behind his back, he strolled away with a leisurely gait.
"Disciple, don't be influenced by my palm strike. You must cultivate your own understanding of the Dragon Subduing Palm."
"Yes, Master, I understand!" Xu Yan bowed.
"Now that you've grasped the basics of the Dragon Subduing Palm, it's time to delve deeper into the Eight Trigrams," Li Xuan nodded.
Since Xu Yan had successfully cultivated the Dragon Subduing Palm, Li Xuan wanted him to explore the Eight Trigrams further. If he could gain some insights, it would benefit Li Xuan as well.
The Eight Trigrams, as defined by Li Xuan, were profound and could be cultivated beyond the Qi and Blood Realm; they could be continuously explored and cultivated.
Each stage of cultivation could bring about different insights.
Of course, it all depended on Xu Yan's ability to achieve these insights.
"Yes, Master!"
...
As the days grew colder and autumn deepened, the chill in the air became more pronounced.
However, for Li Xuan, this winter would be a comfortable one. Even with his thin clothing, he wouldn't feel the cold.
During this time, Xu Yan spent more time studying the Eight Trigrams.
He practiced moving nimbly across the Eight Trigrams diagram, and his agility and speed had improved significantly. However, he still hadn't managed to create a unique set of movement techniques.
Li Xuan watched Xu Yan stepping on the Eight Trigrams, his body agile and his speed greatly increased. He fell into deep thought.
"Is it because there's no oral transmission that you can't gain insight into it?"
"The Eight Trigrams that I've taught you encompass a lot more than just movement techniques.
"Is it because there's no specific oral transmission for movement techniques that you haven't been able to create your own set of movements?"
With this thought, Li Xuan began to ponder.
"Let's try creating a couple of lines of oral transmission."
Li Xuan recalled how his disciple had broken through the constraints of Copper Bones and refined Golden Bones due to the bone refinement realm oral transmission he had made up.
Similarly, Xu Yan had successfully cultivated the Dragon Subduing Palm after Li Xuan created an oral transmission for it.
Xu Yan had comprehended the Dragon Subduing Palm from the oral transmission and then cultivated it successfully.
Therefore, having just a theoretical framework might not always lead to successful cultivation. Combining it with oral transmissions significantly increased the chances of success.
"How should I create an oral transmission for movement techniques?"
Li Xuan sank into contemplation.
A gust of wind blew, causing a few yellowing leaves on a distant tree branch to flutter to the ground.
A flash of inspiration struck Li Xuan, and he exclaimed, "I've got it!"
