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

Chapter 76: True Martial Dao and False Martial Dao? (Seeking monthly votes)

"Master, I understand!" Xu Yan's face was filled with enlightenment as he said, "As long as they are enemies, we must crush their bones, scatter their ashes, and annihilate their souls. We must never show mercy!"

"If the opponent has a background and is supported by a powerful figure, then after eliminating them, we must erase all traces and distance ourselves from any connection."

"As long as no one knows, it has nothing to do with us!"

This is the experience of venturing into the world of Martial Dao.

Although the master is unfathomable, it is obvious that he cannot protect them everywhere. True strength lies in solving all enemies and troubles through one's own abilities.

Li Xuan nodded silently, knowing that his eldest disciple understood the "profound meaning" behind his words. This was very good.

"Master, I understand too!" Meng Chong also had a look of sudden realization.

He also felt that he had gained some understanding of how to deal with these enemies based on his own experience in the martial world.

If he couldn't handle it himself, he would find someone else to take the blame.

As long as they could crush the enemy's bones, scatter their ashes, and annihilate their souls, it would be enough.

Just like when he sought revenge in the past, he found Wu Huang and cleanly eliminated all of them!

Li Xuan was pleased. His second disciple had also gained enlightenment!

Both disciples were exceptionally talented individuals, and the master was very pleased.

"Master, Blood Wuxin mentioned that the Inner Domain Martial Dao is divided into Ninth Grade realm. Above the First Grade is the Qi Refining Grandmaster, who cultivates the internal energy of Martial Dao. Above the Grandmaster is the Great Grandmaster. Why are they different?" Xu Yan asked his doubts.

The Martial Dao passed down by the master includes Skin Refining, Bone Refining, and Internal Organ Refining, which belong to the foundational realm of Martial Dao. It can't even be considered an entry-level, as the entry-level of Martial Dao is the Lifeblood Realm.

Above the Lifeblood Realm is the Innate Realm.

The Grandmaster realm of the Inner Domain Martial Dao is similar to the Innate Realm. They can also control their energy and soar through the air, but they do not cultivate Innate True Qi, but rather the internal energy of Martial Dao.

"Master, in this remote wilderness, the spiritual intelligence of heaven and earth has disappeared, and the spiritual energy is violent. The creatures in the wilderness cannot perceive the existence of spiritual energy because they are in a world without spiritual intelligence."

They are unable to cultivate Martial Dao relying on spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in the world has become violent due to the loss of spiritual intelligence and cannot be guided into the body.

This is quite different from the Martial Dao passed down by the master.

Meng Chong nodded beside him, his face full of curiosity.

Li Xuan sat in his chair, his gaze profound. Instead of answering directly, he asked, "My disciples, how do you feel about Blood Wuxin's strength after fighting him?"

"He's quite formidable. I almost couldn't match him, but of course, it's because of my lack of experience. However, he was also injured," Xu Yan thought for a moment, evaluating Blood Wuxin's strength, and continued, "If my Lifeblood Realm was complete and Blood Wuxin was uninjured, in his peak state, I am confident that I wouldn't lose to him, and might even defeat him."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "You are only at the entry level of Martial Dao, the Lifeblood Realm, while he is a Grandmaster."

Xu Yan was taken aback. Yes, Blood Wuxin was a Grandmaster Martial Artist, and even in the Inner Domain, he was considered a strong presence. On the other hand, he had just entered the Martial Dao and was only at the Lifeblood Realm.

As a Martial Artist at the entry level of Martial Dao, he could actually fight against a Grandmaster. It was obvious who the true Martial Dao practitioner was!

In that instant, Xu Yan understood.

All those Ninth Grade, Eighth Grade, Fifth Grade, Third Grade, and First Grade rankings didn't sound profound at all.

On the other hand, what he cultivated, Skin Refining, Bone Refining, and Internal Organ Refining, thundered through his tendons and bones, and his blood and energy were like a raging wave. It sounded much stronger than First Grade and Third Grade.

"Master, I understand now. They cultivate a false Martial Dao!" Xu Yan suddenly realized.

"I see!" Meng Chong also understood, his face filled with realization. "So, the so-called Grandmaster is actually a false Innate, and their strength is much weaker than the true Innate Realm. No wonder he couldn't kill me with a single strike!"

Now everything became clear.

The one who doesn't cultivate with blood and heart is not a true Martial Dao practitioner. His strength is too weak, that's why he couldn't kill him with just one move.

Li Xuan smiled and remained silent. It was the disciple's own realization, he never said it was a fake Martial Dao!

Of course, the Martial Dao he created is definitely more than just fake or false. Whoever is stronger is the True Martial Dao!

From the current perspective, the Martial Dao he created is stronger.

As for the future, whether it will trigger a dispute between true and false Martial Dao, Li Xuan doesn't care about that.

"Lifeblood Realm should correspond to First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade. However, in terms of strength, Lifeblood Realm is stronger than Third Grade Martial Artists in the inner domain.

"Xu Yan, after all, has a jade bone foundation. His strength is far beyond that of an ordinary Lifeblood Realm, so he can cross the border and fight against the masters in the inner domain. If it were a golden bone foundation, he could also fight against the masters in the inner domain.

"As for those with a copper bone or iron bone foundation in the Lifeblood Realm, they cannot fight against the masters, but they are still stronger than the upper Third Grade in the inner domain."

Li Xuan evaluated it in his mind and roughly estimated the gap in strength between the two.

In the inner domain, Qi Refining Grandmasters, in terms of strength, are definitely far superior to First Grade Martial Artists.

"Qi Refining Grandmasters cultivate Martial Dao internal energy, it's just a different name. It can also be called True Qi. It's just that the True Qi they cultivate, in terms of power, purity, and quality, is not as good as the Innate Realm.

"Although I am only at the entry level of the Innate Realm, in terms of strength, I am not inferior to the grandmasters in the inner domain."

Li Xuan compared and evaluated the two Martial Dao systems in his mind.

Lifeblood Realm corresponds to the upper Third Grade in the inner domain, and Lifeblood Realm Martial Artists are stronger than Third Grade Martial Artists in the inner domain.

Innate Realm actually corresponds to Qi Refining Grandmasters in the inner domain. They both cultivate True Qi, but the Innate True Qi of the Innate Realm is stronger than the internal energy of the grandmasters in the inner domain, so naturally the Innate Realm is stronger.

"Martial Artists who enter the Innate Realm with an iron bone foundation will have a smaller gap in strength compared to the grandmasters in the inner domain, roughly between thirty to fifty percent stronger than the grandmasters in the inner domain.

"And if it's a copper bone, golden bone, or jade bone foundation... then it will be much stronger."

Of course, the grandmasters in the inner domain also vary in strength.

But overall, the Martial Artists of the Innate Realm are still stronger.

The stronger the foundation of the Innate Realm, the greater the gap in strength between the two.

"Grandmasters in the inner domain are already at the peak. Are there any stronger ones beyond the grandmasters?"

Blood Wu Xin is a Martial Artist at the master level, and he is also a strong one in the inner domain's demonic sect, so he should be very familiar with the inner domain's Martial Dao.

"No matter if there are stronger Martial Artists beyond the grandmasters, for the time being, they don't pose a threat to me. Xu Yan is not far from reaching the complete Qi and Blood stage.

"Once Xu Yan breaks through to the Innate Realm, my strength will be even stronger.

"The realms after the Innate Realm should also be created. The realms have been temporarily set, and when Xu Yan breaks through to the Innate Realm, I will pass on to him the techniques above the Innate Realm."

Li Xuan pondered in his mind that the Martial Dao world in the inner domain doesn't pose much of a threat to him.

After Meng Chong entered the Martial Dao, the feedback from the Goldfinger could also enhance his strength.

"Master, in the desolate border, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is fading away, and it's impossible to cultivate Martial Artists. What should we do?"

Since the differences between Martial Dao have already been answered.

The problem of being unable to cultivate Martial Artists in the desolate border is right in front of them.

Does that mean they have to go to the inner domain to cultivate?

Although he really wants to go to the inner domain to experience, it's not the right time yet. His parents and family are too weak to suppress the desolate border.

"You are already a Martial Artist!"

Li Xuan smiled and said.

Xu Yan was taken aback, slapped his head, and said, "That's right, I am already a Martial Artist. But why did Blood Wu Xin say that in the desolate border, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is fading away, and Martial Artists cannot be born?"

He has already entered the Martial Dao and belongs to the Lifeblood Realm Martial Artist. The cultivation after this involves the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to break through to the Innate Realm.

"According to Blood Wu Xin, without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it's impossible to absorb spiritual energy into the body. Does that mean I can't break through to the Innate Realm in the desolate border?"

Xu Yan looked somewhat worried.

"That's Blood Wu Xin's opinion. That's the Martial Dao they cultivate. But you are not cultivating the Martial Dao of the inner domain."

Li Xuan looked at Xu Yan, who was somewhat worried, and couldn't help but laugh.

"What does it matter if there is no spiritual energy of heaven and earth? You can be the bridge between heaven and earth, connecting with heaven and earth. Who needs the assistance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Xu Yan was taken aback by the words, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. His eyes brightened as he said, "I understand, so that's how it is!"

Heaven and Earth Bridge!

Why is it necessary to break through the Innate Realm by connecting the Heaven and Earth Bridge? It is to use oneself as a bridge, to communicate with heaven and earth, and to absorb and release the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

This is the true Martial Dao.

There is no need to rely on external opportunities to cultivate!

Therefore, the cultivation of Martial Artists in the Inner Domain is definitely a pseudo Martial Dao!

"It's good that you understand," Li Xuan nodded.

He looked up towards the direction of the endless mountains, wondering what kind of world the Inner Domain was.

The Inner Domain should be easier to find talented disciples, right?

Li Xuan thought so.

Blood Wu Xin fled to the border wilderness, and it shouldn't take long for the Inner Domain to discover his whereabouts. Perhaps someone would come to chase him to the border wilderness.

Although the border wilderness is special, and Blood Wu Xin only fled here, he can rely on devouring blood essence to cultivate. For other Martial Artists who come to the border wilderness, once they consume too much, their recovery will be very slow.

For other Martial Artists, they wouldn't rashly come to kill him.

But Li Xuan believed that someone would definitely come to kill him.

So he said, "Since Blood Wu Xin came from the Inner Domain, there will definitely be other Martial Artists coming here."

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were startled.

"I want to enter the Martial Dao within a month!" Meng Chong clenched his fist and said firmly.

He didn't want to experience the frustration of almost being killed by Blood Wu Xin again!

Meng Chong went to cultivate.

He had already broken through the bottleneck of the Copper Bone and could temper the Golden Bone. After the Golden Bone, there was still the Diamond Glass Bone.

Xu Yan looked at his master and said firmly, "Master, I want to learn swordsmanship!"

Although Dragon Subduing Palm is powerful, he felt that it was not enough!

Blood Wu Xin's swordsmanship is actually very powerful. At the beginning of the battle, it posed a considerable threat to him.

If he knew swordsmanship, would he have fallen into a disadvantage?

Li Xuan was not surprised by this. From the first time he saw Xu Yan, he saw a sword hanging from his waist.

Even though he cultivated the Martial Dao and practiced Dragon Subduing Palm, he often had a sword hanging from his waist.

It shows that he likes swords!

And from the Qi Emperor's Treasury, he found a treasure sword. He didn't bring it with him this time when he went to the capital in a hurry.

Li Xuan had long been prepared.

He already had a plan for how to cultivate and teach his two disciples, what martial arts techniques and skills to impart to them.

Xu Yan would cultivate palm and sword, the combination of palm and sword is unparalleled!

As for Meng Chong, he would cultivate knife and fist, the combination of knife and fist is extraordinary!

As for other martial arts techniques and skills, they would have to comprehend them in their own cultivation.

He would provide a framework for his disciples, and they could fill it with anything they wanted.

When the disciples venture into the Inner Domain in the future and absorb the essence of the Inner Domain's Martial Dao, they can fill this framework, and it will become their own.

Moreover, with the Martial Dao techniques from the Inner Domain, he would have a reference point for creating subsequent techniques, so that he wouldn't be completely directionless.

But one thing must be taken seriously, the cultivation techniques for future realms must be stronger than the Martial Dao of the Inner Domain, no matter what!

Only in this way can he establish that what he passes on is the True Martial Dao!

"If my Martial Dao spreads, oh!"

Li Xuan suddenly felt a sense of alarm. If this were to spread, it would definitely eliminate the existing Inner Domain Martial Dao.

This would trigger a dispute!

"We must not act too hastily. We need to be steady, at least until my disciple becomes powerful enough," Li Xuan thought.

He felt the need to be steady.

If he were to rashly provoke a dispute over authenticity, the resulting storm would be too great for his current strength to withstand.

Moreover, his goal was to create martial arts techniques, recruit talented disciples, and make himself powerful and invincible.

He couldn't get involved in disputes and hinder his own growth.

"We can start from the Border Wilderness!" Li Xuan had a plan in mind.

He would promote his Martial Dao starting from the Border Wilderness. Once the strength of the Border Wilderness increased, its people would venture into the Inner Domain and gradually spread his Martial Dao.

Even if it sparked a dispute over authenticity, he could hide in the background and watch the situation unfold.

Naturally, there would be Martial Artists from the Border Wilderness who would defend their own Martial Dao.

Of course, this was just a rough idea. Whether it could be implemented, how to implement it, and whether it would be successful were all unknown.

What mattered now was to make himself powerful and help his disciple become powerful as soon as possible.

Only when his disciple became powerful and successfully cultivated the created techniques would he reap greater rewards.

After glancing at Xu Yan, who was full of anticipation, Li Xuan nodded and said, "Alright, today you should settle down and reflect on the gains from your battle with Bloodless Heart. Come find me tomorrow."

"Yes, Master!" Xu Yan nodded excitedly.

"Master, I'm going back to East River County!" Xu Yan said hurriedly.

He had left his sword at home in East River County and didn't have it with him.

"Alright!" Li Xuan nodded.

Xu Yan hurriedly left.

After looking at Meng Chong, who was meditating, Li Xuan said to Shi Er, who had just returned and didn't know what had happened, "Just make Meng Chong's meal."

"Yes, Master!" Shi Er respectfully replied.

Li Xuan got up from his chair, holding Bloodless Heart's long knife in one hand and the bag left behind by Bloodless Heart in the other, and entered the room.

He deliberately left this bag behind.

After entering the room, he put the long knife aside. This knife was not an ordinary steel weapon; it could contain True Qi.

He opened the bag and found a small booklet inside, emitting a bloody color. It was obviously not something from the righteous path.

"The cultivation technique Bloodless Heart practiced!" Li Xuan felt delighted. He had indeed gained something.

He took out the small booklet.

There were also two translucent white crystals in the bag. Li Xuan took them out and sensed the spiritual energy contained within.

"These should be Inner Domain spirit stones or spirit crystals!"

In the Inner Domain, where the spiritual energy was gentle, it was only natural to have jade stones containing spiritual energy.

And jade stones containing spiritual energy were called spirit stones or spirit crystals.

However, it was clear that these were very rare items. Despite being a Martial Artist at the Grandmaster Realm, Bloodless Heart only had two spirit crystals.

He relied on his essence blood for healing, not spirit crystals, so there was no issue of consuming them for healing purposes.

Ultimately, it was because spirit crystals were rare, and as a Grandmaster, he didn't have many.

Regarding updates, unless there are special circumstances, there will be one chapter released around 18:00 and another around 20:00. The update times are relatively fixed.
