Chapter 38: Xu Yan's Epiphanies, the Qinghong Body Art
After thinking of the incantation for the body art, Li Xuan made his way to the Eight Trigrams and said, "Disciple, you have diligently cultivated in recent days, and your speed and agility have improved significantly."
"However, you are still far from truly comprehending the essence of body arts."
"By now, you should have gained some insights into the path of body arts, and it is time for me to impart to you the incantation for the body art."
"Pay close attention and remember it well," Li Xuan instructed.
Xu Yan halted his movements and eagerly replied, "Yes, Master!"
"The true power of body arts lies in lightness and speed. Light as a feather, silent as a falling leaf, fast as lightning, leaving no trace behind..." Li Xuan explained in a tone befitting a master.
Xu Yan listened intently, his eyes widening as he began to understand how he should go about comprehending the body art.
"Light as a feather, swift as thunder, leaving no shadow behind," Li Xuan recited the newly crafted incantation, emphasizing each word.
"Disciple, meditate on this incantation and strive to comprehend its true meaning," Li Xuan concluded, turning to leave with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, Master!" Xu Yan bowed respectfully.
Li Xuan had provided the basic incantation, and it was now up to Xu Yan to cultivate and make his own breakthroughs in comprehending the body art.
However, Li Xuan had faith that his disciple would not disappoint him.
Xu Yan's mind was filled with the two lines of the incantation, and the more he meditated on them, the more profound their meaning seemed to become.
As he raised his head, he noticed that his master had already departed. Just as he was about to resume his training, he paused abruptly.
"Master said that the power of body arts lies in lightness and speed... What is this? Master's strides are so relaxed and carefree..." Xu Yan observed the way his master walked away, his hands behind his back, exuding an air of tranquility and ease.
"Is Master unintentionally revealing his mastery of body arts through his casual strides? No! Master's realm is so high that he has returned to the basics. Although he seems to walk slowly, his movements actually embody the ultimate principles of body arts."
"It is said that teaching can be done through words and actions. Did Master just impart the oral teachings while also demonstrating the bodily teachings through his relaxed strides?"
"Yes! That must be it! I must understand the profound meaning hidden within Master's strides!" Xu Yan's mind raced with excitement, and he felt reinvigorated.
He fixed his gaze on his master's retreating figure, noticing the indescribable ease and lightness in his steps, coupled with a carefree and unrestrained demeanor. The more he observed, the more convinced he became that his master's strides contained the secrets of the body art.
"Light as a feather, swift as thunder, leaving no shadow behind... I think I'm starting to understand," Xu Yan murmured as he continued to focus on his master's strides. Gradually, a flash of insight seemed to appear in his mind, merging the concepts of ease, lightness, and unrestrained movement with the incantation.
He felt as if he was on the verge of comprehending something profound.
At that moment, Li Xuan's figure had already disappeared from Xu Yan's line of sight.
Li Xuan felt pleased with himself for crafting the incantation and imparting it to his disciple. Soon, he would be able to reap the benefits of an improved body art.
As he walked, his strides exuded relaxation and freedom, and he felt as if he were floating. He even felt like humming a tune or two.
Little did he know that his carefree strides had caught Xu Yan's attention, who then proceeded to interpret and analyze the subtle nuances of his master's movements, seeking to uncover the profound principles within.
...
Ever since Xu Yan had witnessed the subtle profundity in his master's strides, he couldn't help but think about them whenever he meditated on the body art incantation or cultivated his body art.
The image of those carefree, relaxed, and unrestrained strides kept flashing in his mind, complementing the incantation and leading to new insights with each cultivation session.
It felt as though he was on the brink of breaking through and comprehending a powerful body art.
Within the Eight Trigrams, Xu Yan's steps became lighter and more agile. He moved silently, his turns smoother, and his leaps graceful, as if he were floating.
His figure danced across the Eight Trigrams, his movements becoming increasingly light and swift.
At that moment, his mind was filled with nothing but the image of his master's carefree and unrestrained strides, which seemed to grow increasingly profound and clear.
He felt a sudden enlightenment wash over him.
"Light as a feather, silent as a falling leaf, fast as thunder, leaving no shadow behind... I think I'm starting to understand. Light as a feather, swift as the wind, leaving no trace, as fleeting as a thunderclap... This must be the Qinghong Body Art!
"Although I have not yet grasped its true meaning, I have at least entered the threshold of understanding this body art.
"Light as a feather, silent as the wind, vanishing without a trace—the Qinghong Body Art!"
In that instant, Xu Yan was overwhelmed with insights, and in that fleeting moment, his figure seemed to flicker.
In the blink of an eye, he seemed to teleport to another location.
He landed silently, without making a sound or stirring up any dust.
His figure flickered across the Eight Trigrams, moving faster and lighter with each step. In an instant, he changed positions, moving with such incredible speed that not even a whisper of wind could be heard.
"I've finally succeeded in cultivating the Qinghong Body Art!"
Xu Yan was thrilled.
He let out a triumphant roar, leaped into the air, and in an instant, found himself a hundred feet away. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Dragon Subduing Palm, sending a crimson dragon rushing forward to smash a pit into the ground.
Xu Yan's figure flickered as he struck with the Dragon Subduing Palm, shifting left and right, up and down, his movements fluid and graceful. With each change in position, the Dragon Subduing Palm erupted from a different angle, its speed unmatched.
With his newfound understanding of the body art, Xu Yan's combat prowess skyrocketed.
"Next, I must cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Minor Completion stage of the Qi and Blood Realm as soon as possible!"
Xu Yan's heart was filled with excitement.
...
"Your disciple has successfully cultivated the body art you created, naming it the Qinghong Body Art. With this, you have directly achieved great success in your body art, ten times that of your peers."
On the third day after imparting the incantation to Xu Yan.
Li Xuan sat in his chair, idly playing with a jade scepter.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared.
In an instant, the profound principles of the Qinghong Body Art flashed through his mind, and he immediately achieved great success.
Li Xuan jumped to his feet, his face lit up with excitement.
"As expected, having an incantation makes a world of difference.
"My disciple truly has monstrous talent. With the incantation, he was able to grasp the essence of the body art.
"It was worth all the effort I put into creating the incantation.
"It seems I can teach him the cultivation method for the Precelestial Realm earlier than planned, so he can get a head start on understanding and hopefully break through the Precelestial Realm soon."
With a slight movement of his feet, Li Xuan's figure became as light as a feather, moving silently and swiftly, disappearing from the small village in an instant.
His figure flickered, moving at incredible speed without making a sound.
Li Xuan, still playing with the jade scepter, had already arrived at Xu Yan's cultivation spot.
There, his disciple was practicing the body art, continuously unleashing the Dragon Subduing Palm, combining his new understanding of the body art with the powerful palm strike to refine his combat skills.
"It's time for me to show my disciple a thing or two!"
A smile appeared on Li Xuan's face.
In the next moment, he moved silently and appeared behind Xu Yan.
With his Qi and Blood Realm at Great Completion, a hundred times more powerful than his peers, and the Qinghong Body Art at Great Completion, ten times faster than his peers, there was no way Xu Yan could detect his presence.
Xu Yan, completely absorbed in his practice, was oblivious to the figure trailing behind him, mirroring his every move.
Li Xuan kept his hands behind his back, following Xu Yan's every shift and turn without making a sound. Xu Yan remained unaware of his master's presence.
"Disciple, you're about to witness the true power of your master!"
A joyful smile spread across Li Xuan's face.
