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

Chapter 95: Divine Thunder Crossing, the Method of Sword Cultivation (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Xu Yan had another realization and integrated the Integrated Union with Qing Hong's body movement technique, comprehending a new body movement technique.

Meng Chong was gazing into the distance when suddenly, a figure appeared beside him!

It was Xu Yan.

"Senior Brother, what kind of body movement technique is this?" Meng Chong was shocked.

It was too fast, silent, and left no trace.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Junior Brother, I call this body movement technique 'Heavenly Thunder Flash.' Just like a flash of heavenly thunder, it leaves no trace and cannot be captured."

"Heavenly Thunder Flash?!" Meng Chong murmured.

"Yes, Heavenly Thunder Flash!"

Xu Yan's figure didn't move, but in an instant, he disappeared, leaving no trace.

Even though they were so close to each other, Meng Chong didn't notice any signs before Xu Yan used the Heavenly Thunder Flash. It was as if he had vanished in the blink of an eye.

"This body movement technique is too powerful!" Meng Chong exclaimed.

Senior Brother's comprehension is truly terrifying!

Xu Yan's figure reappeared and said, "Junior Brother, shall I teach you the Heavenly Thunder Flash?"

Meng Chong pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Senior Brother, I cultivate the Martial Dao of the physical body. Although the Heavenly Thunder Flash is fast, I don't feel it suits me."

Scratching his bald head, Meng Chong smiled foolishly and said, "I prefer a domineering body movement technique that is both fast and fierce. Besides, even if I cultivate the Heavenly Thunder Flash, I won't be able to do it as well as Senior Brother."

Xu Yan also realized that their master had said that everyone's comprehension was different, and only what suited oneself was the best.

"In that case, Junior Brother, you can refer to it and comprehend a body movement technique that suits you."

"Alright."

Meng Chong nodded.

Xu Yan stood on the shaking divination hexagram and said, "Junior Brother, if you want a domineering and fast body movement technique, you should carefully comprehend it from this thunder."

Meng Chong felt that it made sense.

...

Li Xuan habitually took out the ancient parchment book and read it every day, hoping that one day he would suddenly have a realization.

Just like Xu Yan, who always suddenly comprehended things on his own.

Golden light suddenly appeared.

He was delighted. Did Meng Chong break through to the Lifeblood Realm Great Perfection, or did Xu Yan break through to the Innate Realm Small Perfection?

"Your disciple Xu Yan comprehended the Heavenly Thunder Flash body movement technique from the gossip you compiled. His Heavenly Thunder Flash has reached Great Perfection!"

Xu Yan had a new realization!

Heavenly Thunder Flash!

In an instant, he had mastered the Heavenly Thunder Flash body movement technique, and he had directly reached Great Perfection.

It was as if he had been born with this body movement technique.

"What a powerful body movement technique!"

Li Xuan exclaimed. With this body movement technique, he would have more than enough to fight or escape.

His figure suddenly disappeared from the chair.

Shi Er, who was diligently cultivating by the side, was completely unaware.

Outside Cloud Mountain County.

Li Xuan's figure appeared, looking down at his two disciples below who were exchanging insights on the gossip. Xu Yan was guiding Meng Chong on how to comprehend his own body movement technique.

Meng Chong seemed to have some realization.

In an instant, Li Xuan returned to his chair. From leaving to coming back, Shi Er remained completely unaware.

"My second disciple is also about to have a realization. I wonder what powerful body movement technique he will comprehend!"

Li Xuan eagerly anticipated it.

"Xu Yan is truly worthy of being the eldest senior brother, worthy of being my Martial Dao pioneer. In the future, I can let him teach and improve the comprehension of the disciples I accept."

Li Xuan sighed in his heart. In terms of comprehension and imagination, Xu Yan was undoubtedly the strongest.

Three days later.

Outside Cloud Mountain County, a figure emitting a lustrous golden light appeared. It was extremely domineering. With a loud rumble, a thunder-like golden light flashed through the mountains and disappeared in an instant.

Meng Chong did not break through the Innate Realm, even though he comprehended the body technique, he couldn't disappear in an instant like Xu Yan, leaving no trace.

However, when he flew, his speed was extremely astonishing.

He was like a thunderbolt, sweeping across the ground, with an unparalleled domineering presence.

Truly fast and fierce!

"I've comprehended it!"

In Meng Chong's mind, the way of the body technique appeared.

Once he breaks through the Innate Realm, he can truly cross the sky like a thunderbolt, disappearing in an instant.

Although his speed is slightly inferior to the Thunder Flash, this body technique is perfectly suited to his style, fierce and domineering enough!

Boom!

Meng Chong's figure paused and returned to its original position.

"Senior brother, I've already thought of a name for the body technique, it's called 'Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky', like an angry thunder crossing the sky!"

Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky!

"Our cultivation level is still low, and we have almost reached the comprehension of the Eight Trigrams. We can't make any further progress. Next, we should focus on cultivating and improving our cultivation level!"

Xu Yan nodded and said.

"I must break through the Innate Realm as soon as possible."

Meng Chong nodded solemnly.

Only by breaking through the Innate Realm can he display such a domineering body technique!

He was full of anticipation.

...

Li Xuan was looking at the ancient book when golden light appeared.

He was overjoyed because Meng Chong had clearly comprehended the body technique.

"Your disciple Meng Chong has comprehended the body technique Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky from the Eight Trigrams you compiled. Your Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky is complete!"

Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky body technique!

"This body technique really suits Meng Chong. He is like a bald brute, like a golden arhat. This body technique has a domineering presence that matches him very well."

Li Xuan sighed in his heart.

Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky, as the name suggests, although it is not as fast and elusive as the Thunder Flash, it is extremely fast, like an angry thunder crossing the sky, disappearing in an instant.

"Thunder Flash + Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky, you have obtained the Divine Thunder Crossing Void!"

Suddenly, golden light appeared again.

Li Xuan was overjoyed.

"I finally have a Martial Dao that belongs to me as a master!"

It wasn't easy!

Divine Thunder Crossing Void is an extremely powerful Martial Dao technique.

Like a divine thunder, it can cross the void, nothingness, and travel through space.

In an instant, it can cross the void.

Of course, this is a very high realm that can only be achieved with high cultivation level.

With Li Xuan's current strength, it is naturally far from being able to cross the void and travel through space.

However, when displayed, it is faster than Xu Yan's Thunder Flash and more domineering than Meng Chong's Angry Thunder Crossing the Sky, as if it possesses the power of divine thunder.

"Good disciple! I am invincible, all thanks to you!"

Li Xuan was excited.

In a good mood, he raised his hand and a strand of True Qi turned into a small thunderbolt, which he threw into Shi Er's body, accelerating his Internal Organ Refining progress.

As for whether this would cause Shi Er to grow too fast, it was not a problem at all. Shi Er's talent was already like this, and there was no issue of affecting his foundation.

Shi Er suddenly felt as if his internal organs were surrounded by strands of lightning, and while it was painful, his Internal Organ Refining speed actually began to increase.

He was overjoyed!

"I'm about to complete Internal Organ Refining. I strive to enter the Martial Dao within a month!"

The Lifeblood Realm seemed to be within reach!

Li Xuan disappeared from the chair in an instant, like a divine thunder, and appeared in front of Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were shocked in their hearts. When did their master arrive?

Just now, they seemed to have sensed a majestic divine power!

"With your current cultivation level and comprehension of the Eight Trigrams, it's almost enough. Don't be too obsessed. Follow your heart. When your cultivation level improves and your horizons broaden, you will naturally have new insights."

Li Xuan swept his gaze and found that the Eight Trigrams Diagram had been erased.

Then they knew that Xu Yan and Meng Chong's gossip and insights had come to an end.

So, in a stern tone, the strict master spoke up.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan and Meng Chong respectfully replied.

"Master, when I was sparring with Hu Shan, I realized that my knife technique seemed to rely on brute force, unable to fully demonstrate my true strength. So, I want to learn the way of the knife!"

Meng Chong respectfully spoke up.

Li Xuan had already prepared for this and was planning to find an appropriate time to teach Meng Chong the knife techniques he had compiled.

So he asked, "What do you think is the way of the knife?"

Meng Chong paused, unable to help but ponder.

"The master teaches the way, not just the technique. What he taught me must be the way of the knife... What is the way of the knife?"

Taking out the large cleaver he carried with him, he said, "Master, the way of the knife lies in killing enemies, in ferocity, in fierceness."

Li Xuan, with his hands behind his back, displayed the demeanor of a strict and knowledgeable master. "What you are talking about is only the ferocity of the knife, not the way of the knife.

"The way of the knife is not limited to ferocity and fierceness.

"The knife is a blade that opens heaven, a blade that cuts through the universe, making me invincible!

"Standing in the world, dominating everything, even in the face of ten thousand enemies, I will forge ahead!"

Meng Chong listened, his heart filled with excitement, his face slightly flushed.

"A blade that opens heaven, a blade that cuts through the universe, making me invincible?"

He muttered to himself, the more he repeated it, the more he felt the dominance, this is the true way of the knife, the power it should possess.

"Please teach me, Master!"

Meng Chong said excitedly.

"The way can only be understood. As your master, I can open this door for you, but whether you can understand it and step into it depends entirely on yourself."

Li Xuan looked at him with deep eyes.

Meng Chong took a deep breath and respectfully said, "Disciple understands and will definitely not disappoint Master!"

"Good, very good!"

Li Xuan nodded.

"To enter the way of the knife, there is also a foundation. Just like the way of the sword, only those with a clear Sword Heart can truly step into the path of the sword.

"And for the way of the knife, to enter, one must awaken the knife soul!"

Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

Awaken the knife soul?!

Meng Chong was taken aback. He thought that to enter the way of the knife, one needed a clear knife heart, just like the corresponding Sword Heart.

Xu Yan, who was beside him, was also surprised.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Li Xuan knew that his disciples thought that the way of the knife required a clear knife heart, corresponding to the Sword Heart.

He smiled inwardly, "The technique I created, how could it be so easily guessed?"

"Master, what is the knife soul?"

Meng Chong was a little confused.

If entering the way of the knife required a clear knife heart, he could still follow his senior brother's example and perhaps achieve it.

But awakening the knife soul was completely beyond his comprehension.

What is the knife soul?

"The knife soul, simply put, is the soul bestowed upon the knife."

Li Xuan's tone was profound, "It is a state of mind. When the knife is in hand, it is like an extension of my body. Although the knife is sharp, it does not harm oneself.

"All the knives in the world sing for me, all submit to me...

"It is similar to having a clear Sword Heart, but with a different approach."

Meng Chong fell into contemplation. It sounded too profound to him. He looked at the knife in his hand, a precious blade, but he didn't feel the sense of "an extension of my body."

Li Xuan continued, "Awakening the knife soul is the foundation of the way of the knife. Whether it's a big knife, a small knife, a long knife, or a short knife, you can wield them as you wish, and they can dominate the world."

Meng Chong was stunned. He liked the large cleaver, which exuded a domineering and powerful aura when used. But how could a short knife display the aura of dominating the world?

Is this the difference between knife techniques and the way of the knife?

In his mind, he seemed to see the aura of dominating the world, a single slash causing the heavens to collapse and the universe to shatter.

His heart was filled with excitement, and his eyes were filled with longing.

"I must awaken the knife soul, I must step into the way of the knife!"

His breathing became rapid. "Master, how can I awaken the knife soul?"

"Soul Awakening of the Blade, besides self-realization and the mysterious search for one's own blade soul, there is another method."

Li Xuan had already figured out how to awaken the blade soul.

Whether it can succeed or not, it all depends on Meng Chong himself.

"Master, what method?" Meng Chong asked excitedly.

Instead of being clueless and pursuing the mysterious, it is naturally easier to grasp the method when one has a clear understanding.

"The method is to nurture the blade!"

Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

Meng Chong was taken aback, "Nurture the blade? How?"

In the martial world, there is also a saying about nurturing the blade, but what Master meant was obviously not the same!

"Nurture the blade with your body, nurture it with your heart, nurture it with your intention, nurture it with yourself..."

Li Xuan's expression was solemn as he slowly said, "The blade never leaves your side, nurture it with your body, nurture it with your heart, nurture it with your intention, the blade becomes me, I become the blade.

"Nurture your vitality and blood in the blade, nurture your emotions in the blade, nurture your insights in the blade...

"Until one day, when you feel something in your heart, when the blade resonates with you, when your heart and the blade are one, my heart becomes the blade's heart, my soul becomes the blade's soul.

"That is when you draw your sword, and the awakening of the blade soul occurs!"

Meng Chong was shocked. Nurturing the blade turned out to be so mysterious?

"The blade resonates with you, your heart and the blade are one, my heart becomes the blade's heart, my soul becomes the blade's soul..."

Meng Chong muttered to himself.

The more he repeated it, the more shocked he felt, realizing the immense power and profoundness of the way of the blade.

Just the awakening of the blade soul was so unfathomable.

The more he repeated it, the more excited his heart became, and his blood seemed to boil.

"Master, I will definitely nurture the blade and awaken the blade soul!"

He said firmly.

"Then start nurturing the blade from today."

Li Xuan nodded.

"Yes, Master!"

Meng Chong took a deep breath, inserted the big blade into its sheath, and hung it tightly around his waist, gripping the handle with one hand.

But how to nurture the blade? He was a bit confused and could only look to his master for guidance.

"First, nurture the blade with your vitality and blood, let your vitality and blood nourish the precious blade. Nurture it with your body, nurture it with your heart, nurture it with your intention... It all depends on you. Nurturing your vitality and blood is easy, but nurturing your heart and intention is up to you."

Li Xuan pointed out.

"Master, I understand!"

Meng Chong took a deep breath.

Vitality and blood surged into the precious blade in his palm, nurturing it carefully, and feeling the changes in the blade, searching for how to nurture it with his heart.

Li Xuan spoke again, "Don't forget to cultivate. Nurturing the blade should not interfere with your cultivation. Only then can it be considered true nurturing of the blade, rather than putting all your heart and soul into nurturing the blade and neglecting cultivation.

"Otherwise, even if the blade is nurtured, the person will be wasted.

"The nurtured blade will only be temporary."

Meng Chong must avoid getting stuck in a rut, focusing solely on nurturing the blade and neglecting cultivation, which would be a reversal of priorities.

Nurturing the blade and awakening the blade soul is secondary, cultivation is the right path.

"Nurturing the blade is a long process, it all depends on your heart. If you can't reach the Lifeblood Realm, then nurture it until the Innate Realm. Persistence will always yield results. If you waste your cultivation, it will all be in vain."

Li Xuan's voice was like a resounding bell, making Meng Chong's heart tremble.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, he broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Fortunately, Master reminded me. Otherwise, I would have been obsessed with nurturing the blade and neglected my own cultivation."

He respectfully said, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I understand. I will definitely not neglect my cultivation!"

"Good, cultivate well and improve your strength and realm. That is the most important thing."

Li Xuan nodded.

After speaking, he disappeared in an instant.

Even Xu Yan, who was also in the Innate Realm, couldn't detect any trace of him.
