Chapter 458: Chapter 10 Great Qian Yuan, Unmatched Divine Skill!_3

His own ox cart seemed to have fallen into the eye of a storm.

The Silver-haired Taoist blasted back with a counter-move.

Boom!!!

Li Guanyi’s pupils constricted, his body tensing almost instinctively, a warrior’s innate defense kicking in.

This torrential rain was utterly dispersed!

It transformed into a state like white clouds, the ox cart as if falling from the summit of clouds.

The Silver-haired Taoist sat there, as if seated atop the clouds, his temples slightly lifted, composed and tranquil, his hand gently resting on Li Guanyi’s shoulder. Then all the rosy clouds dissipated, and Li Guanyi gasped deeply, only to see that above the firmament, the clouds had scattered, leaving only the clear and bright moon hanging high in the sky.

He pondered in amazement.

Was this, too, a form of martial arts?

The Taoist spoke calmly, "This is the summary of all my knowledge, the grandest piece. Today, I pass it on to you. In the time it takes to travel from here to Zhenbei Pass, ask any questions you have. Whatever you can learn is your own good fortune."

Thus, he imparted to Li Guanyi the first Chapter of the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture" in great detail.

Li Guanyi remained silent, not asking about the Silver-haired Taoist’s realm, but instead asked curiously, "I wonder, how many layers of heaven has the Sword Madman Murong Longtu attained in the Martial World?"

The Taoist fell silent for a long time.

Li Guanyi ventured, "Eight?"

The Silver-haired Taoist shook his head.

Li Guanyi then showed his reverence and asked, "Nine Heavens?"

The Silver-haired Taoist replied indifferently,

"The Ninth Heaven is the pinnacle of the world, yet the Sword of Sword Madman exists in a realm beyond even that."

Li Guanyi burst out laughing, feeling that even if he were to travel the world in the future, he wouldn’t have to worry about his aunt’s safety. The Divine Sword, hailed by the Silver-haired Taoist as beyond the Ninth Heaven, what kind of grace must it possess?

It must be akin to the palm of the Taoist, the arrows of General Xue.

It was probably a Divine Skill that he could not begin to comprehend at the moment.

The Martial World is small, yet the world is vast; Martial Masters like Yue who possess such combat prowess are ranked only thirty-fourth on the Divine General List, which shows the vastness of the world. Li Guanyi, being recognized by the Taoist as having the peak strength of the third layer of heaven and a rudimentary level of the fourth layer, could only dream about the future.

How strong is Yuwen Lie, his sworn enemy?

What kind of martial prowess did his father have back then?

And how about the World’s Number One Divine General? Compared to the legends of the Martial World, who is stronger and who is weaker?

What about the Divine Skill of the Red Emperor, the six Palace Masters of the Academy, the Innate talents of the Taoist sect, and the capabilities of Gongyang Su Wang from Confucianism?

After indulging in these thoughts,

Li Guanyi had no choice but to grimly delve into the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture."

The Taoist had said that realm is merely the robustness of Inner Qi and bears no direct correlation to victory, defeat, life, or death. He had once seen a Mystic Turtle in the North Sea as vast as a mountain, its vitality as strong as that of a Grandmaster. Yet, a warrior of the Five-layered Heaven, commanding a Dragon Warship and leading an army, could hunt it down.

They would carve the meat of the Mystic Turtle for a soup; its fat was used for the Long-burning Lamp, to be sent to the Central Plains.

But still, Inner Qi is important.

Although the summary of the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture" displays profoundly mystical and deep martial arts,

it is actually based on Mathematics and Mystical Skills, extremely complex disciplines. The Taoist spent an entire night barely managing to finish explaining it, and the ox cart slowly arrived in a small town for repairs. Since there was no danger as before, they rented three guest rooms this time.

Li Guanyi mused and struggled to grasp this martial art.

It was less like martial arts and more like a way to calculate all forms of power, a ludicrous application of Mathematics and Mystical Skills to deduce the trajectories of all forces, and then with overwhelming Inner Qi and a powerful Primordial Spirit, bend them to one’s will.

Li Guanyi felt that on this journey to Zhenbei Pass, he might only be able to learn this one Chapter. It was impossible to fathom the truth of the Taoist’s strength through the bronze tripod, much less draw out Primordial Qi from it.

Fortunately, there was the time spent with Elder Zu.

And with the experience of the sixtieth Chapter of the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture" and the Formation foundation obtained from Hou Zhongyu, Li Guanyi was not completely unable to get started. However, his progress was excruciatingly slow, and after a full day, he had made little progress, facing obstacles at every turn.

To take one step required long contemplation before he could proceed with further thought.

Unknowingly, it was past midnight, the moon was at its zenith, but Li Guanyi had not the slightest inclination to sleep, only a slight throbbing at his forehead. He was so frustrated that he wanted to give up, but recalling the Taoist’s vast Absolute Skill and the ability to simultaneously control Inner Qi, the body, and the Primordial Spirit as one,

he clenched his teeth and persevered.

Li Guanyi could sense that once they reached Zhenbei City, the Taoist would leave without a moment’s hesitation.

Li Guanyi, clutching his forehead, pondered over the fundamentals of the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture": "There is nothing greater than heaven and earth, yet even these have their limits. The vastness of heaven is bound by Yin Yang, and the vastness of earth is defined by hardness and flexibility."

"In such deduction, how should one proceed? What is heaven and earth, and what are their limits? How does one leap from heaven and earth to Yin Yang and hardness and flexibility?"

These questions were all very difficult.

The Qilin lay sprawled on the bed, sound asleep.

The Qilin, a creature that does not need to cultivate, was already almost five hundred years old, but still only considered a youth. Once it became an adult, even if it merely slept its way there, it would possess the combat power of a human Martial Master clad in armor and wielding a mystical weapon.

It was downright unreasonable.

Annoyed at the thought, Li Guanyi reached over and lifted the Qilin.

The drowsy Qilin muttered, "Is it time to eat?"

Amused but frustrated, Li Guanyi said, "Accompany me in cultivation!"
