Chapter 796: Chapter 746: Immortal Martial, Divine Hidden
“If you wish to explore the Immortal Martial Path and ascend to the Human Immortal Realm, you can only truly step into this stage when you have reached the perfect state in the second step,” Pei Xuanjing said softly.
According to Pei Xuanjing, the most perfect state for the Spirit Martial Realm body actually involves condensing all 365 major acupoints in the body and also refining countless minor acupoints to perfection. Only when the body has reached a flawless state, capable of regenerating lost limbs and reproducing flesh, can it be considered the perfection of the Spirit Martial Realm.
The only time to truly comprehend the extremes of the realm is when you try to explore the location of your Divine Hidden. Then, opening your Divine Hidden, you would have the chance to step into the Immortal Martial Realm.
Indeed, it’s just a chance.
In order to locate the Divine Hidden, one must refine the body to its utmost perfection. Yet, to unlock the sealed Divine Hidden, one is still missing a key. This decisive key is the Martial Path Willpower.
Martial Path Willpower is essentially the Martial True Intent required for a mortal martial artist to ascend from the Fourth-grade to the Third-grade realm.
Once upon a time, Pei Xuanjing thought during his cultivation that this Martial True Intent was his own will, part of the Refining Spirit method in the essence, qi, and spirit path. After stepping into the Spirit Realm, his practice involved refining the essence, qi, and spirit with this as the foundation.
However, once he truly stepped into the Nine Realms of Spirit and peaked in all aspects of essence, qi, and spirit, he found out that things weren’t exactly as he thought.
Indeed, the Martial Path Willpower belongs to the ‘spirit’ section among the essence, qi, and spirit, but it’s not just that. Instead, it can exist independently and is not something that dissipates with the Refining Spirit path.
Pei Xuanjing once thought that the Martial Path Willpower he had cultivated was thoroughly integrated into his Primordial Spirit and had become the nourishment for his Primordial Spirit, merging into one.
Now, however, he has realised that things are not that simple. Even now, when his Golden Core is in circulation and his essence, qi, and spirit are harmoniously integrated, the Martial True Intent still exists, hidden. Although he doesn’t explicitly cultivate it, as his strength has increased, so has his Martial True Intent.
So, he realized that Martial True Intent exists independently. It belongs to the spirit, but it can also exist standalone. It’s the crystallization of Pei Xuanjing’s initial Martial Path, the proof of the existence of Martial Arts.
The Martial True Intent can continuously transform and is a manifestation of Martial Path Willpower. It’s an idealistic embodiment and the key to unlocking the Divine Hidden within a human body. It’s the core of a martial artist. Only by opening the Divine Hidden within the human body can one symbolically step on the Immortal Path.
The third step, the Immortal Martial Realm.
This is the third major realm of Martial Arts practice, named ‘Immortal Martial Realm’ by Pei Xuanjing. As the name implies, it refers to the Immortal Martial Artist, or in other words, what Pei Xuanjing deems as a Human Immortal.
Even though this realm is still out of reach for Pei Xuanjing, and he has never truly touched upon it, he still has absolute confidence in his deductions. If his deductions are correct and the Path of Human Immortal truly exists, then without a doubt, his idea of opening one’s Divine Hidden, fighting against the heavens and earth, and completing the small universe within the body and the grand universe of heaven and earth is absolutely plausible.
According to Pei Xuanjing, Mortal Martial, Spirit Martial, and the legendary Immortal Martial form a complete gradual process on the Path of Human Immortal. It’s a transition from nothing to something, from mortal to True Immortal.
“The Immortal Path is hard to find. Regardless of anything else, at the least, this is a way to become an Immortal that can be seen with the naked eye,” said Pei Xuanjing, his eyes unfathomable, revealing no joy or sorrow. “However, apart from currently needing me to deduce the practice for the Martial Dao of the Spirit Realm, this path also requires others to try it out. More data would give me more references, enabling me to see the pros and cons of this path more clearly and to constantly perfect it.”
With the Martial Path cultivation methods currently in Pei Xuanjing’s possession and his experience in the world of immortal sects as his accumulation, Pei Xuanjing could deduce several paths for cultivators in the Spirit Martial Realm to follow.
However, even if he could deduce these paths and skills, whether they are genuinely useful or could meet his expectations, all remain unknown.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing required verification. He needed people to cultivate these skills and walk these paths. Then, he could observe their cultivation experiences and find out whether the methods and paths he deduced have any defects.
The Life Simulator could accomplish this. If Pei Xuanjing so wished, he could choose to verify these during the Life Simulation.
However, doing so would consume a considerable cost. One Life Simulation would need one hundred million points of Taoyun value. To Pei Xuanjing, every chance to simulate life was extremely precious. Since there are alternative methods for verifying the cultivation techniques, he wouldn’t directly do so when given a choice.
“Next, after deducing the skills, they will be placed into the Taoist Academy’s exchange system, clearly labeling the conditions and selecting cultivators to practice these skills. That would be the best method,” Pei Xuanjing said, a smile playing at his lips.
This kind of experiment, which lets cultivators in the Taoist Academy try it, although seeming somewhat inappropriate, is actually not. To many cultivators in the Taoist Academy, such an opportunity is virtually unheard of.
For most ordinary cultivators, finding suitable skills for their cultivation would be incredibly challenging without the exchange system of the Taoist Academy.
Even with the platform of the Taoist Academy’s contribution system, the huge price is extremely burdensome for many cultivators. Yet, they still aggressively pursue it.
Even so, it’s impossible for cultivators to find powerful, top-tier techniques — or say techniques that lead straight to the peak — on the Taoist Academy’s contribution system platform. Nobody except Pei Xuanjing publicly shares such techniques.
Now, all Pei Xuanjing needs to do is put the deduced techniques and paths into the system. He doesn’t have to use any other means. Even if he made it clear that there might be dangers and uncertainties, the rarity and benefits of these skills would draw countless cultivators. Nobody would refuse.
The cultivation world is becoming increasingly competitive, especially with the appearance of the Taoist Academy. More and more people, who would have never had the chance to cultivate, have started there. Their participation has accelerated the internal competition in cultivation.
After the resurgence of Heaven and Earth, even though countless heavenly and earthly treasures have emerged, facing an increasing number of cultivators, especially when the methods of Pill Refining, Tool Refining, and cultivation have been disseminated freely, countless cultivators are competing for resources. Although more and more powerful individuals are appearing, the competition is inevitably becoming increasingly fierce.
