Chapter 701: Chapter 74 The Beginning of Spirit Root Martial Arts

Apart from Formation, An Jing also fortified the weaker aspect of his ’Art of Magic’.

Indeed, An Jing’s innate talent for Magical Combat is extraordinarily strong, so much so that he can yield an awe-inspiring effect with a single Divine Skill, and can even create a ’temporary Martial Vein Array Diagram’ akin to a Secret Transmission.

However, he has never systematically studied the Art of Magic.

Simply put, An Jing can effortlessly gather Fierce Flame and Golden Qi, shaping them into a Taibai sword burning with Bone-Eroding Blood Flame. But this is solely due to his innate talent; if asked to form a ’Qi Blade’ with purest Spirit Qi without involving Taibai Fiendish Qi and Mars Blood Fiend, he might need to expend even more effort.

And some simple yet extremely practical and frequently used Skills, such as ’acceleration’, ’Divine Movement’, ’remote retrieval’, ’cool wind’, ’Clear Heart’, ’Body Purification’ and other day-to-day magical skills, An Jing actually doesn’t know, making him seem like a young soldier who only knows slaughter rather than a powerful genius Cultivator.

Perhaps this is also a shortcoming of the Seven Fiend Tribulation - An Jing instantly masters destructive magical techniques, but these everyday skills do require serious study to fully comprehend.

In this regard, An Jing harbors no vanity or pride of being a supreme genius; he openly seeks guidance from Huo Qing and Nian Quan. Both have long been accustomed to taking care of him; the former is a master of Fire Manipulation Skills and Wind Control Skills honed for cooking and boiling soup, while the latter has practiced the Heart Clarity Spell and Body Purification Spell to a level of silent immediate activation.

This also aligns with the two’s talents, where the former encompasses fire, earth, and wood elements, and the latter is of heaven and water.

For Skills unknown to them, An Jing would turn to his teachers. Although the instructors at Third Middle School are somewhat perplexed why An Jing doesn’t even know these apprentice-level minor spells, considering that An Jing comes from the Wilderness, they refrain from inquiring further.

If one finds joy in learning, then progress will be unimaginably fast, and that is the case for An Jing. Although due to the sheer number of basic skills, he hasn’t finished learning all in two months, his foundation in the Art of Magic has dramatically transformed from where he began.

Of course, the most significant achievement for An Jing during this recent period has been designing a whole new ’local combat system’ based on the knowledge of the Tianyuan Realm, targeted at his apparent ’metal, water, wood’ Spirit Root.

The fundamental ’Taibai Luminous Godly Ban’, An Jing has almost displayed; he trusts that with the depth of the Tianyuan Realm’s experts, they will definitely recognize his legacy - revealing such foundational inheritance from the era of Dao Courtyard appropriately, on the contrary, can gain the trust of those ancient forces that possess the heritage of past Heavenly Venerate Emperor.

But as a fundamental inheritance implies, there must be a whole system centered around it. An Jing indeed has such a system, but the lowest level in his system is the sixth-tier Heavenly Venerate Inheritance, while the Supreme Celestial True Solution and the Seven Luminaries and Seven Evil Stars Destiny Law are even at the seventh-tier.

It’s best not to expose such a level of inheritance.

Thus, to refine his persona and also to better cultivate his Fate Pattern, using the Seven Luminaries and Seven Fiend’s attribute-quintessence, An Jing naturally attempts to create new spells.

An Jing has considerable experience in this area.

During the battle at Broken Blade Mountain Range against the Divine Repository Swordsman Xie Gusu, An Jing integrated Xuanyuan Pure Light with Annihilation Sword Intent, creating [Yin Yang Reincarnation Destruction], a Martial Vein Array Diagram comparable to the secret treasure of a Great Sect.

This Martial Vein Array Diagram has also accumulated significant experience for An Jing’s [Primordial Heaven and Earth], and one might even say, the structure of the ’Yin Yang Vortex’ in his Internal Array Realm is also derived from this Martial Vein Array Diagram.

Now, An Jing’s Inner Array Realm Tai Shi Taiyi has taken shape, capable of carrying almost all types of Spiritual Fiends, naturally, it can also simulate complete Formation Maps of lower grade than his own.

In other words, if he wants to, An Jing can now employ the Yin Yang Reincarnation Destruction once more.

In a sense, this is like a virtual machine.

What An Jing needed to do was to create new Martial Meridian Array Diagrams, more virtual machines, to accumulate more experience for the subsequent development of the "Primordial Taiyi" realm.

In addition to that, An Jing considered the Martial Arts cultivation of Huo Qing and Nian Quan.

Because of the great fame ’An Xuan’ had achieved, as friends of An Xuan, both of them were so harassed by various reporters and self-media bloggers that they had been holed up together lately, cramming on Arts of Magic and contacting each other.

An Jing himself, due to the dual cultivation of Immortal Martial Arts, had gained tremendous benefits and naturally hoped his friends could do the same— he learned the Tianyuan Realm Arts of Magic from his friends, and they also learned Martial Arts from the Huai Xu Realm through An Jing.

Moreover, just like the "Yin Yang Reincarnation", An Jing creating more Martial Meridian Array Diagrams was beneficial for his own cultivation. If Huo Qing and Nian Quan made progress in these diagrams and had their own thoughts and deductions, it could also save An Jing more time for comprehension.

Sharing thoughts and cultivation methods could naturally speed up research in a certain field, which is also the reason for the existence of Sects: collective wisdom in cultivating naturally leads to faster progress than groping alone.

Interestingly enough, Huo Qing was of fire, earth, and wood attributes, Nian Quan was of water, and An Jing was of metal, earth, and wood. Together, the three of them indeed made up the Five Elements.

"I mainly cultivate wood, with fire and earth as auxiliary. The Imperial Heaven and Houtu Method you taught me is almost perfected. Now, my Body Cultivation has reached the threshold of high-level Qi Refining,"

Huo Qing showed An Jing his cultivation. Surprisingly, he and An Jing were quite similar; in the aspect of Qi Refining, he mainly studied Formation Path and was even more skilled in the Spiritual Network than An Jing, while his Martial Arts, based on the foundation laid in childhood and the essence of Martial Arts imparted by An Jing, had quickly reached the sixth rank of Qi Refining. Among his peers, he might be just considered excellent in Third Middle School, but in ordinary public schools, he would already be regarded as a genius worthy of key cultivation.

Since Huo Qing’s main focus had previously been on Qi Refining, he had not yet begun cultivating Divine Abnormality, but with his current progress, it was time for him to prepare to gather the five Divine Abnormalities in order to be ready for advancing his Martial Meridian later on.

"My cultivation is less extensive; the core cultivation method I have is the ’Heavenly River Sword Skills’ you taught, and with this, I have a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation."

The pace of Nian Quan’s progress was also swift. Having entered Qi Refining just a year ago, he was now at mid-stage, and by the end of the year, he would most likely reach high-stage with the aid of spirit stones provided by An Jing, therefore surpassing Huo Qing.

However, his progress in Martial Arts was not as swift as Huo Qing’s; he has just barely completed the Emperor Heaven Method, and the Houtu Skills are still nourishing his meridians.

If it were not for spar with Yan Chengju, his progress might have been even slower.

But Nian Quan had a secondary focus: Alchemy Dao.

Nian Quan’s Spiritual Pupil was naturally advantageous for alchemy and talisman making. Given his talent, it would be a pity not to cultivate in this area, and An Jing also passed on his previous life’s Martial Arts experience, namely the explosive Martial Arts concept related to Elixir Power, to him.

Indeed, regarding the Martial Arts concept of Elixir Power, which emphasizes more on force and is calm like a lake at rest and powerful like a waterfall when active, Nian Quan took to it like a duck to water, quickly attaining the cultivation of Hidden Strength. When using swordsmanship with this power, it became even more exquisite.

Soon, taking into account the different situations of Huo Qing and Nian Quan, An Jing designed two completely different sets of Martial Meridian Array Diagrams for them.

Containing the three attributes of fire, earth, and wood, the Divine Abnormalities being ’Pupil Fire,’ ’Circulatory Organs,’ ’Jade Marrow Bone,’ ’Yet-to-be-completed Core Divine Abnormality,’ and ’Strength from Thought,’ the [Grass and Wood Withering and Flourishing Return to Flame Soil].

And with a pure Water Attribute, the Divine Abnormalities being ’Pupil Fire,’ ’Frost Mercury Blood,’ ’Dantian Sea,’ ’Yet-to-be-completed Core Divine Abnormality,’ and ’Sharp Divine Intention,’ the [Cold Water and Smoke Snow Swinging Blade].
