Chapter 265: Chapter 126: Martial Artist of the Big City (3/3)

"Subdue Evil’s personality is truly too sadistic, too sword-like..."

An Jing pondered in his heart, "Were the ancient Immortals really like this?"

He couldn’t quite figure it out.

In any case, after a period of time, Mingguang Dust, whose true body had returned, was very satisfied with the diligence of An Jing and You Ruhui.

"Not bad. If it were me, I’d also have you start with deep reflection."

After encouraging their efforts, and once You Ruhui reluctantly returned to his room for deep reflection to change his Inner Breath attribute, Mingguang Dust brought his new educational plan to teach An Jing.

"How much do you know about the path of Martial Arts?"

Getting straight to the point, Mingguang Dust asked the most basic question, and after thinking for a moment, An Jing seriously replied, "From common people to Inner Strength, I understand quite deeply."

"But the family’s Martial Scripture only describes a few common Divine Abnormalities at the Inner Strength level, and the Martial Meridian is written so vaguely, I really don’t understand it."

"Good, it means you haven’t had the chance to go down the wrong path yet."

Mingguang Dust nodded and said, "Then let’s start with Inner Strength."

"An Jing, you should know that the entire process of the Triple Nourishment of Inner Breath is for filling the whole body with Inner Breath, so that it can adapt to the Mysterious True Evil Spirits bestowed by the Fate Pattern, right?"

"I do," An Jing nodded slightly, understanding that it was the same principle as Qi Refinement in immortal cultivation. The whole realm of Inner Breath is to make the body adapt to the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, to incorporate it within oneself and embark on the next step of cultivation.

But starting from this step, the path of Martial Arts via Fate Pattern began to show a slight difference... So within the Fate Pattern, there was also a trace of the bestowed Mysterious True Evil Spirits?

This indeed meant there was no need to search for it in the outside world... No wonder only those with Fate Patterns could break through to Inner Strength, just like only those with Spirit Roots could absorb Spirit Qi!

Damn, the family’s Martial Scripture only mentioned ’Inner Breath achieves Perfection, Spirit Qi manifests on its own’... So it was this kind of self-manifestation!

Mingguang Dust didn’t know that An Jing was pondering how many errors and vaguenesses might exist in his own family’s Martial Scripture. He earnestly said, "After reaching the pinnacle of Inner Breath like Tide, you must seek the power of the Fate Pattern, comprehend Divine Skills and Special Abilities, and then master the relevant Spirit Qi and Evil Qi."

"Thereafter, it is about refining this Evil Qi through various methods, merging it with Inner Breath, and condensing it in some part of the body."

"Then comes the Embracing the Pill into unity, the condensing of Divine Abnormalities."

"Different Divine Abnormalities have different methods, but there are also many common details..."

An Jing listened intently to Mingguang Dust’s explanation about the details of condensing Divine Abnormalities, but as he listened, he couldn’t help but freeze in surprise.

For, these methods of condensing Divine Abnormalities... why did they resemble so much the condensation of Forbidden Seeds and Magic Prohibitions of his Taibai Luminous Godly Ban?

However, Divine Abnormalities, as a kind of actively usable Special Ability, were a bit more complex than condensing Magic Prohibitions!

But An Jing was also very clear—The Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, from beginning to end, could condense twelve Divine Skills, with each Nine Prohibitions condensing one.

This, compared to Divine Abnormalities, was yet more complex and powerful!

"Indeed, martial arts and immortal laws share common ground at their core. The Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, a body refinement immortal technique, is probably the origin of martial arts cultivation methods!"

Immortal laws and martial arts can learn from each other.

With An Jing’s wisdom, how could he not understand this?

With corresponding matches, An Jing could even confirm that he had already mastered the skills for condensing divine abnormalities, and even more advanced ones!

It should be known that the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban directly uses ’Taibai Evil Qi’ to condense divine prohibitions! Whereas general divine abnormalities only require a strand of Spiritual Fiend similar to Taibai Evil Qi, supplemented by Inner Breath, to be shaped!

Mingguang Dust didn’t know this, but seeing that An Jing seemed thoughtful and appeared to have some insights, he nodded satisfactorily, "The realm of Inner Breath is just the foundation; therefore, even those without a Fate Pattern can cultivate."

"But starting with Inner Strength, one must condense divine abnormalities relevant to their own Fate Pattern."

An Jing nodded. Just as different Spirit Roots cause Qi Refinement cultivators to choose different cultivation techniques, Fate Pattern does as well. In fact, because Fate Patterns come with inherent special abilities and divine skills, the majority of martial artists design their future martial paths around the core abilities of their Fate Patterns.

"Inner Strength Five Bans, as the name implies, if one does not have special talents, with the human body one can at most condense five divine abnormalities."

Mingguang Dust’s figure flashed with the glow of a mirror behind him as he condensed his ’Mirror Self,’ and then started pointing here and there at ’himself,’ using it as a teaching example for An Jing, "The five divine abnormalities must be distinct and must encompass the whole body."

"The Dharma Body of my Mirror Self that I’m demonstrating only has the strength of the peak Inner Strength level. The five divine abnormalities are ’Pupil Fire,’ ’Bright Mirror Heart,’ ’Frost Mercury Blood,’ ’Circulatory Organs,’ and ’Sharp Divine Intention.’

"Since I didn’t condense many divine abnormalities related to the body, only covering the whole body with Frost Mercury Blood and Circulatory Organs, the strength of my body at the peak of Inner Strength probably isn’t as strong as yours."

Seeing An Jing standing still, Mingguang Dust even motioned for An Jing to come forward and feel it for himself, "Come on over, I’m personally showing you. Do you know how hard it is to find a suitable model?"

"...Oh." An Jing was shocked. He hadn’t expected Mingguang Dust to use such fundamental divine powers just to condense a model for him as teaching material.

But indeed, with a physical model and hands-on teaching from a Divine Repository True Person, An Jing could clearly sense the ’Mingguang Dust’s’ various physical attributes at the peak of Inner Strength.

As Mingguang Dust said, he focused on inner cultivation, battling with the Inner Breath and Spirit Qi. His body’s strength at the peak of Inner Strength tier was similar to that of An Jing when only using Taibai Luminous Godly Ban’s four or five bans.

It might be slightly stronger, but inferior to An Jing when circulating the Houtu Skills simultaneously.

In any case, neither An Jing nor Mingguang Dust at the Inner Strength level could withstand the Chongming Sword Box. They were quite different from body refinement martial artists like Lu Jin, who could take a blow from a sword box and only incur minor injuries.

Correspondingly, An Jing sensed that the Inner Breath within Mingguang Dust’s body was extremely dense and surging, and a Yang Attribute Spirit Qi resided in the ’eyes,’ whose radiance even penetrated the eyelids, scorching An Jing’s hand to a blackened crisp.

"How amazing that Spiritual Light is."

An Jing withdrew his hand, his gaze solemn as he looked at his superficially carbonized palm, "If I hadn’t withdrawn my hand, just a breath longer and even my flesh and bones would have been scorched and cooked!"

"I originally thought my strength was not up to the peak of Inner Strength, but I could at least match the middle and higher tiers, and wouldn’t be easily injured. I could escape at will."

"It seems now that a high-level Inner Strength practitioner from a Great Sect could easily inflict a fatal wound on me!"

This was without even opening his eyes. If he really opened them, An Jing felt that the Pupil Fire aroused by Mingguang Dust would not be the same as that of the Vice Envoy of Medicine and Lu Jin. A direct glance from him and even the flying swords of the Sword Box might melt mid-air!

—Truly incredible. If the master is a martial artist from a major city, I should now be considered a martial artist from a small city, and I could only fight against common countryside Inner Strength practitioners. I really need to make a breakthrough soon!
