Chapter 456: Chapter 10 Great Qian Yuan, Peerless Divine Skill!

Li Guan Yi didn’t know what the wooden stick he drew represented, but the Silver-haired Taoist pinched the stick, his eyes slightly lowered: "Qian Trigram, used nine·Group of Dragons without a Leader·Auspicious..."

He looked at the young man before him. Inside the Qian Trigram’s Group of Dragons without a Leader, there were several interpretations. Some said that the dragons of the world fought each other, entwined without a leading head, focusing on the myriad grassroots dragons and snakes intertwining with each other.

Some said it was everyone being like a dragon, yet without a ruler above them, the focus laying on the concept of everyone being like dragons; while the third interpretation had another meaning.

The Taoist calmly passed over, reinterpreting with the Six Trigrams Method.

And saw that all six lines were yang.

Purest and most yang.

Thus, he arrived at a more precise answer.

Used nine: Heaven’s Virtue cannot take the lead.

All six lines positive, the most firm and yang, representing the great virtue of heaven, everyone like dragons, the world as a commonwealth.

Heaven’s Virtue?

The Silver-haired Taoist remained silent.

Whether interpreting the Group of Dragons without a Leader in the mundane sense or looking at it from a deeper level, both were outrageously implausible. Although it was merely a divination derived from shaking a stick, even if it was a mere trick of Taoists, it was enough to leave one speechless.

Was it the ’head’ that unraveled the entanglement of dragons or the starting point of a future era of heroes? Behind him, everyone as dragons, the ’Heaven’s Virtue’ was the kind of supposition that, if passed on, would attract countless dangers.

Over there, Li Guan Yi curiously wanted to take a look, but the Taoist smoothed out the stick.

He casually tossed it, and the sticks that fell to the ground regrew their roots and buds, turning into a dense forest. The Taoist said plainly, "I already know, and once you see it, it won’t be efficacious anymore."

Li Guan Yi was struck dumb, "Is there such a saying?"

The young man was skeptical,

Feeling that the Taoist before him was fooling him.

However, Li Guan Yi didn’t care much, just sat cross-legged there, carefree he said:

"Then, may I know what martial arts you plan to teach me, senior?"

The Taoist pondered for a moment, then said, "Before that, I have a question."

"Do you know the martial arts of the heroes of the world?"

Li Guan Yi shook his head, saying, "Elder Xue never told me. He said I should take it step by step, lay a solid foundation, and then consider the heroes of the world."

The Silver-haired Taoist smiled faintly, saying, "That’s a good idea."

"Alas, he probably never expected that by the time you could observe the world, you would already have entered into it. As such, let me tell you."

"In the first three layers, martial artists cultivate their physique, Inner Qi, and organs. The peak of the Third Layer Heaven is the initial cultivation of the Primordial Spirit. This marks a phase."

"From the Fourth to the Sixth Layer Heaven, it’s mainly about Condensing the Primordial Spirit and the will. Gradually, one acquires the means to interfere with the present world and direct Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi against foes."

"The Seventh Layer allows one to merge their will with the Qi of heaven and earth, elevating it to Dharma Form."

"A common martial artist of the Third Layer Heaven can become a general, commanding a thousand; the Fourth Layer is considered mid-level military command. Those young military officers in their thirties, with exceptional talent, are mostly at this rank; as for the generals of nations, senior military officers who can participate in great wars, most have reached the Sixth Layer."

Having experienced a great event in the world, Li Guan Yi quickly identified the corresponding individuals.

The Third Layer Heaven was like young generals Geshu Yin and Yuwen Hua.

The Fourth Layer Heaven was Generals Qibi Li and Gong Zhenyong who had taken that step.

As for the Fifth and Sixth Layers, they were probably the level of Lu Youxian and Ye Buyi’s father.

Lu Youxian was skilled in laying out battle formations and defending cities. Such generals were not known for their martial prowess.

The Taoist spoke with an even tone, "Many famed generals do not pursue their own martial arts but instead suppress their own power to the Sixth Layer Heaven to match the army’s battle formation. Many generals of the Sixth Layer Heaven can lead elite armies of more than ten thousand."

"They participate in large-scale battles, merging their Qi Mechanism with that of the battle formations. With their Dharma Form-level Martial Skills and Divine Charm, supported by the great momentum of military formations, they can exert prowess not inferior to Martial World Grandmasters. Combined with the killing aura of the Military School and Mystical Skills, their power is unpredictable."

"Weaker in single combat, stronger in military formations."

"Some War Generals have a Dharma Form and also understand battle formations; under their command are elite and valiant troops. One cannot judge their strength by Inner Qi alone, remember that."

"And martial artists of the Seven Heavens, regardless of their natural talent, can all condense a Dharma Form."

"With such martial skills, one can establish a sect and create a legacy, becoming a Grandmaster; the founders of the major forces in the Martial World, the top thirty on the Divine General List, mostly have such power and realm."

"This vast world is filled with countless martial practitioners, and who knows how many cultivate Taoist Skills, or Confucian methods, yet within a thousand li, martial artists and cultivators who can be called of Grandmaster Realm are few and far between."

Li Guan Yi reflected thoughtfully. It seemed, Xue Daoyong and Yue Qianfeng were of such a standard.

Looking at it this way, Brother Yue, being only in his forties with such martial prowess, indeed was an exceptional talent. No wonder he received the teachings of Ji Yanzhong back then and inherited the Red Dragon Power.

Considering this, would all the Grandmaster Level martial artists from Chen Country’s Northern Domain and Ying Country’s Southern Region come over within the span of two or three thousand li for the Qilin Hunting Conference?

Troublesome, quite troublesome.

Li Guan Yi thought about it and decided to leave this matter to Elder Xue.

The Taoist looked at Li Guan Yi and said calmly:

"Your mastery reaches the peak of the Third Layer Heaven, as for the techniques of the Fourth Layer Heaven."

"Two layers, Second Layer Heaven!"

Li Guan Yi interrupted.

Sitting upright, he gestured with his fingers, pointed to his eyes and emphasized, "Second Layer Heaven, senior."

"I’ve just opened the Ancestor Acupoint in my brow and two Eye Acupoints. If looked at from the Martial World’s perspective, among the usual seven orifices, without the brow’s Xuan Gate Ancestor Acupoint, I’ve opened two orifices, a martial artist who has just entered the Second Layer Heaven."
