I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 105: Innate Qi is Universal Truth (Seeking Monthly Votes)

When Xu Yan broke through the Lifeblood Realm in his Shi Er Martial Dao entry, he looked surprised. How could it be so weak?

The sound of thunder in his bones was much smaller than before.

The Qi and blood also seemed very weak.

Meng Chong had the same thought.

Su Lingxiu, on the other hand, was amazed. This is the sound of thunder in the bones, the Qi and blood like a protective barrier. It's truly extraordinary, and it looks very powerful.

It's much more powerful than the internal Martial Dao.

After Shi Er's breakthrough, Li Xuan saw a golden light appear.

"Your servant Shi Er has cultivated the Martial Dao entry you created, and your True Qi has improved slightly," the feedback from Goldfinger said. It seems that the feedback obtained from practicing a technique that has already been created is very limited.

Shi Er is still his servant.

If they were strangers, unrelated individuals, one or two, they probably wouldn't receive any feedback.

"So, True Qi has only improved slightly," Li Xuan sighed. This time, the feedback from Goldfinger was true. His True Qi had only improved slightly, less than one percent.

"So, only disciples who cultivate the technique I created can receive rich feedback."

"As for those who cultivate existing techniques, the feedback is too little. But if there are many of them, they should still gain something."

However, Li Xuan knew that his fundamental focus was still on his disciples.

Only by continuously cultivating and becoming stronger can they truly become powerful.

"Shi Er's Copper Bone entry is just like this," Li Xuan glanced at it. Shi Er's entry-level strength was not much different from his evaluation.

Shi Er restrained his Qi and blood, extremely excited. With a thump, he knelt down in front of Li Xuan and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Master, for passing on the Martial Dao to me!"

Then he thanked Su Lingxiu, "Thank you, Heavenly Woman, for giving me the elixir!"

"Mm!" Su Lingxiu nodded.

"Sister, are you the Heavenly Woman?" Xu Yan looked surprised.

Kou Ruozhi had said that she was as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, the unparalleled beauty in the world. Could it be that she was his junior sister?

However, Kou Ruozhi had indeed not lied.

His junior sister was truly a peerless beauty.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Su Lingxiu looked at her senior brother with confusion.

Why did her senior brother's gaze seem a bit strange?

"Kou Ruozhi told me..." Xu Yan didn't hide anything and told her everything Kou Ruozhi had said.

Su Lingxiu became angry as soon as she heard it. Kou Ruozhi actually wanted to use her to win over her senior brother, clearly not putting her, the Heavenly Woman, in his eyes.

This is unacceptable!

"Kou Ruozhi is tired of living. I'm going to bury him!" Su Lingxiu said, her anger evident.

Xu Yan nodded and said, "I've always felt that he is a cunning person!"

Su Lingxiu looked at Shi Er and said, "Shi Er, go and capture Kou Ruozhi!"

"Yes, Heavenly Woman!" Shi Er nodded decisively.

"Don't call me Heavenly Woman!" Su Lingxiu glared at him in anger.

"Yes."

Shi Er nodded.

Just broke through the Lifeblood Realm and became a true Martial Artist, Shi Er was excited. He immediately set off to East River County to capture Kou Ruozhi.

After giving instructions to Shi Er, Su Lingxiu continued to refine pills.

The second batch of pills also failed, but there was progress.

After two attempts at pill refining, Su Lingxiu was tired and needed to settle down, summarize her pill refining experience, and improve her pill refining method.

Returning to her chamber, she lay down on the bed.

"Miss."

Zhou Ying came in with a basin of water and wiped Su Lingxiu's face.

"Aunt Zhou, when I successfully refine the pills and enter the Martial Dao, you should also cultivate the Martial Dao. With my pills, you will definitely be able to successfully cultivate the Martial Dao."

Su Lingxiu spoke.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Miss."

Zhou Ying nodded.

Then she worriedly said, "Miss, by returning to the inner domain this time, we attracted a Grandmaster. Our whereabouts in the border wilderness may have been exposed."

Su Lingxiu shook her head and said, "It may not have been exposed. The Grandmaster is arrogant and easily captures you and me. Perhaps he discovered your trail and followed you, but others may not know."

"He has already been killed by my master, not even leaving a trace of ashes. Our whereabouts should be unknown. We are in the border wilderness."

Zhou Ying still had some worries and said, "I hope so."

Su Lingxiu smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? We have our master."

Zhou Ying thought about it and agreed. That senior was unfathomable.

Outside the manor, on a small hill.

Meng Chong sat cross-legged, holding the hilt of his knife, continuing to nurture his knife and comprehend the Great Sun Golden Body.

Li Xuan walked leisurely on the small path of the hill, with Xu Yan following closely behind.

Because of Su Lingxiu, a Grandmaster attacked. Although he was killed with a single palm, Li Xuan did not dare to be careless.

Although the Grandmaster was arrogant and might have followed Zhou Ying, there was little possibility that Su Lingxiu's and Zhou Ying's whereabouts were exposed.

But they still had to be prepared for the unexpected.

He was not afraid of the Grandmaster, but he was afraid of someone above the Grandmaster.

Of course, from the current information, there were no Martial Artists above the Grandmaster in the inner domain. Even if there were, they would be hidden old fellows.

Xu Yan had already reached the small achievement of the Innate Realm and it was time to teach him the Martial Dao methods above the Innate Realm.

Li Xuan stopped walking.

"Disciple."

"Master!"

Xu Yan respectfully said.

He was somewhat excited because his master was going to teach him the Martial Dao methods above the Innate Realm.

"Yesterday, in the battle with the Grandmaster, what did you comprehend?"

Li Xuan asked.

Xu Yan pondered and said, "The Grandmaster is very strong. The internal energy of his Martial Dao is much stronger than that of a Grandmaster, like the difference between a stream and a river. And I feel that the Grandmaster seems to have a kind of imposing aura, like a divine might."

Only after fighting the Grandmaster did he realize that the Martial Dao in the inner domain was not without its merits.

"Today, I will teach you the Martial Dao techniques above Innate Qi. You must comprehend them well. Once you understand the techniques, there will be no bottleneck for your Innate Qi."

Li Xuan turned around and looked at Xu Yan.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan respectfully said.

"Innate Realm theoretically corresponds to the Grandmaster realm in the inner domain, while Innate Qi corresponds to the realm above the Grandmaster. But you must remember not to underestimate the Martial Dao in the inner domain."

"On the path of Martial Dao, you must learn from others' strengths to make up for your weaknesses, understand yourself, understand the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, and understand the boundlessness of the Great Dao. Only then can you be invincible on the path of Martial Dao."

Li Xuan's expression was solemn as he spoke in a deep voice.

Xu Yan bowed and said, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings!"

"Mm."

Li Xuan nodded.

With one hand holding a jade ruyi and the other behind his back, Li Xuan stood on the hillside, gazing at the horizon, and slowly said, "The Innate Realm is truly transcending the mundane, truly stepping onto the path of Martial Dao."

"And on the level of Innate Qi, it involves the profound mysteries of heaven and earth."

Xu Yan's heart shook. Just by reaching the level of Innate Qi, did it already involve the profound mysteries of heaven and earth?

He thought of the power of a grandmaster, that aura resembling heavenly might. Was it also the same?

He listened respectfully.

Li Xuan continued, "Above the Innate Realm is the Universal Truth Realm!"

Universal Truth Realm!

This was the third realm created by Li Xuan, determined after careful consideration and reference to internal cultivation techniques.

"What is Universal Truth? It means understanding the profound mysteries, understanding the profound mysteries of heaven and earth. How does one possess the power of Universal Truth?

"First and foremost, it is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the foundation of Martial Dao, the basis for the profound changes of heaven and earth. The amount of Entering Spirit Qi a person can absorb is limited, while the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is limitless.

"To attain Universal Truth, one must harmonize with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around oneself. All transformations of Universal Truth are within this."

Li Xuan explained the theory of Universal Truth word by word.

Xu Yan listened with blood boiling. In his mind, he had already imagined the powerful scene of the Universal Truth Realm.

With a raise of his hand or a step, he would possess a majestic aura, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would instantly become his power.

"If I break through to the Universal Truth Realm, how many grandmasters in the world would be my match? It wouldn't be a dream to defeat a grandmaster with a single palm!"

The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more excited he became.

Li Xuan continued, "The Innate Realm is the refinement of Innate True Qi, while the Universal Truth Realm is the refinement of True Essence!

"The transformation and sublimation of True Qi into True Essence, True Essence flowing like a river..."

Xu Yan listened quietly as his master explained the True Essence of Universal Truth, already starting to comprehend how to refine True Qi into True Essence.

"Universal Truth True Essence is transformed from Innate True Qi. To transform True Qi into True Essence, it requires the sublimation and refinement of True Qi.

"Just like this mist, condensing and falling, it becomes droplets of water. Similarly, True Qi needs to be refined into True Essence."

Li Xuan explained how True Qi could be transformed into True Essence.

True Qi condenses into liquid, becoming True Essence, but refining it into True Essence and breaking through to the Universal Truth Realm is not simple.

"The dantian surges like a spring, and True Essence is like a river, unending. This is the foundation of the Universal Truth Realm.

"Universal Truth True Essence can harmonize with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The strength of True Essence determines the range of control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"If it is strong enough, controlling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of one li is not impossible."

Li Xuan glanced at Xu Yan, who was already in the midst of comprehension, seeming to have some understanding of the direction of cultivation.

"Master, how can True Essence harmonize with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Xu Yan raised his head and asked.

Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, "If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like this mist, and True Essence is water, how do you think they can harmonize?"

Xu Yan was startled, and a flash of insight appeared in his mind, vaguely understanding something.

"Remember, Universal Truth, Universal Truth, is the profound mystery of heaven and earth. And spiritual energy is the foundation of the profound mysteries of heaven and earth. Only by harmonizing with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can one understand the foundation of the profound mysteries of heaven and earth.

"By harmonizing True Essence with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one can possess the power of Universal Truth, laying the foundation for controlling the great power of heaven and earth."

Li Xuan further explained the Universal Truth Realm.

After explaining the complete theory of the Universal Truth Realm Martial Dao that he had created to Xu Yan, Li Xuan returned to the estate with a leisurely pace.

Leaving Xu Yan alone to contemplate.

He now had full confidence in Xu Yan.

The Universal Truth Realm Martial Dao technique was more complete and the theory more self-consistent than the Lifeblood Realm and Innate Realm that had been created.

Between the Lifeblood Realm and the Innate Realm, there is only a vague theory that can be comprehended, but the Universal Truth Realm at least has some practical value.

After all, it refers to the Martial Dao techniques of the Inner Domain.

With Xu Yan's talent, comprehending the Universal Truth Realm techniques is not a problem at all.

"The Universal Truth Realm has already been passed on to Xu Yan. Now it's time to prepare for the realm beyond the Universal Truth. How should one cultivate after the Universal Truth?"

"How should it be arranged to better connect and make the hierarchical theory more reasonable?"

Back at the manor, Li Xuan sat in a chair and began to contemplate.

He picked up the Martial Dao techniques written by Xie Lingfeng and Xu Yan and read them again, hoping to find the path to the next realm.

However, the techniques written by Xie Lingfeng and Xu Yan only went up to the Grandmaster realm, and there was nothing beyond that.

"In the Lifeblood Realm, one cultivates blood through Qi Refining, in the Innate Realm, one cultivates True Qi, and in the Universal Truth Realm, one cultivates True Yuan. So, what should one cultivate in the next realm?"

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

On the hillside, after Xu Yan recorded the cultivation method of the Universal Truth Realm, he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At the same time, he started to try to comprehend the profound aspects of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He wanted to gain insight into the cultivation method of the Universal Truth Realm.

"Not right!"

Suddenly, Xu Yan had a feeling.

"The Universal Truth Realm, the integration of True Yuan with heaven and earth. But how does one integrate with heaven and earth? Just like how water integrates with mist, as Master metaphorically described.

"Although I have cultivated Innate True Qi, do I really understand True Qi?

"Do I truly comprehend the mysteries hidden within True Qi? True Yuan is the transformation of True Qi. If I don't even understand True Qi, how can I transform it into True Yuan?"

With this thought, Xu Yan withdrew his focus and began to wholeheartedly comprehend his own True Qi.

"When I was in the Lifeblood Realm, I used the method of roasting meat to enhance my control over blood. So how can I enhance my control over True Qi?"

Suddenly, Xu Yan realized that he should enhance his control over True Qi. Only then could he better comprehend the mysteries of True Qi.

"I used the method of roasting meat to cook Qi Refining blood and enhance my control over blood, which also deepened my understanding of blood's essence.

"Can I roast True Qi?

"No, True Qi is too strong. Roasting it would be too easy and wouldn't enhance my control over True Qi, nor would it help me understand its mysteries."

Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he seemed to be back in the small village, recalling the situation when he first comprehended the techniques.

Raising his hand, True Qi appeared and transformed into a golden dragon about ten feet long.

Looking at the golden dragon in his palm, Xu Yan had the thought of splitting it in half, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't split this small amount of True Qi into two.

Before the golden dragon could split into two, the True Qi failed to take shape and dissipated.

In that instant, his eyes lit up as if he had found a way to enhance his control over True Qi.

Boom!

Powerful True Qi erupted, and a golden dragon soared into the sky. With a single thought, Xu Yan split the dragon into two, then into three, four... all the way up to eighteen.

"With such a vast amount of True Qi, I can easily split it. But with a small strand of True Qi, I can't control it or split it as I wish."

Xu Yan became excited.

"I want to split True Qi bit by bit, until I can split a strand of True Qi into ten or eight strands."

After realizing the method, Xu Yan became invigorated.

With ten fingers, True Qi emerged from each one. He began to study how to split and further split them.

He even intertwined the True Qi with each other, but they remained separate and did not integrate into an Integrated Union.

"When I comprehend the wonders of True Qi, it will be the same when I comprehend the method of Universal Truth. When I reach Innate Perfection and break through the Universal Truth realm, it will all fall into place!"

Xu Yan became even more excited and devoted his entire being to splitting True Qi.

He sought to comprehend and understand the essence of True Qi.

Meanwhile, Su Lingxiu finished resting and prepared to start alchemy again. At this time, Shi Er brought Kou Ruozhi along.
