5 min read1,373 words

After thinking of the body technique incantation, Li Xuan came to the Bagua diagram and said, "Disciple, your diligent practice these days has improved your speed and made your steps more agile.

"But you are still far from comprehending the body technique.

"Now, you should have gained some insights into the body technique. It's time to teach you the incantation.

"Remember it well."

Xu Yan stopped and said excitedly, "Yes, Master!"

"The strength of the body technique lies in its lightness and speed. Lightness means being silent and imperceptible, and speed means being as swift as lightning..."

Li Xuan spoke with the air of a master.

Xu Yan listened thoughtfully, and vaguely, he seemed to understand how to comprehend the body technique.

"Light as a feather falling on a leaf, swift as a thunderbolt leaving no trace!"

Li Xuan spoke the newly created incantation word by word.

"Disciple, you must deeply comprehend this incantation!"

After saying this, he turned and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan bowed.

By giving Xu Yan the two lines of the incantation, it was now up to Xu Yan to comprehend the body technique.

However, Li Xuan believed that his disciple would not disappoint him.

Xu Yan's mind was filled with the two lines of the incantation. The more he comprehended, the more profound it seemed.

Lifting his head, he saw that his master had already left. Just as he was about to continue practicing, he suddenly paused.

"Master said the strength of the body technique lies in its lightness and speed...

"This is? Master's steps are so carefree and relaxed..."

Xu Yan saw his master leave with his hands behind his back, his steps carefree and relaxed, exuding an indescribable ease.

"Master's steps are carefree. Is this an unintentional display of the body technique?

"No! Master's realm is so high that he has returned to simplicity. He may seem to walk slowly, but it actually contains the profound principles of the body technique.

"As they say, teaching by words and example. When Master just taught me the incantation, his carefree steps were a form of teaching by example?

"Yes! It must be so. I must understand the profound meaning in Master's steps!"

After this realization, Xu Yan's spirit was immediately invigorated.

He immediately focused his eyes on his master's steps, which were carefree and light, and even more free and unrestrained.

The more he watched, the more he felt that his master's steps contained the profound principles of the body technique.

"Light as a feather falling on a leaf, swift as a thunderbolt leaving no trace... I have some understanding."

As Xu Yan watched his master's steps, a flash of insight gradually appeared in his mind. The carefree, light, and unrestrained steps merged with the incantation.

He vaguely understood something.

At that moment, Li Xuan's figure had already disappeared from Xu Yan's sight.

Li Xuan was in a great mood. By creating two lines of the incantation and teaching them to his disciple, he would soon receive feedback on the body technique.

Therefore, his steps were carefree and unrestrained, and he even felt like humming a few songs.

He had no idea that his carefree and unrestrained steps were being observed by Xu Yan, who was trying to understand the profound principles in them.

...

Since Xu Yan had observed his master's steps, which contained profound principles, he constantly visualized those carefree and relaxed steps in his mind while comprehending the body technique incantation and practicing the body technique.

Combining the incantation with the steps, he continuously gained new insights.

It seemed that he was just one step away from comprehending the powerful body technique.

In the Bagua diagram, Xu Yan's steps became lighter and faster, landing silently, and his movements became smoother and more graceful.

His figure moved gracefully on the Bagua diagram, his steps becoming lighter and his speed continuously increasing.

"Faster!

"I feel that I am just a little bit away from comprehending the body technique."

Xu Yan's gaze was determined.

At one moment, his mind was filled only with his master's carefree and unrestrained steps, which gradually became more profound and clearer.

A profound understanding surged in his heart.

"Light as a feather falling on a leaf, swift as a thunderbolt leaving no trace... I have some understanding. Light as a feather, silent and imperceptible, swift as a thunderbolt in an instant... This must be the Light Swallow Body Technique.

"Although I have not fully grasped its true meaning, I have finally entered the realm of the body technique.

"Light as a feather, silent and imperceptible, swift as a thunderbolt, leaving no trace—this is the Light Swallow Body Technique!"

At one moment, infinite insights surged in his mind. In that instant, his figure became elusive.

In a flash, it seemed as if he had teleported to another position.

Landing silently, without a trace of dust.

His figure moved elusively in the Bagua diagram, becoming faster and lighter, and in an instant, he changed position.

Moreover, at such incredible speed, there was not a hint of wind.

Elusive and light as a feather, silent and imperceptible.

"I have finally mastered the Light Swallow Body Technique!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited.

He let out a long cry, leaped into the air, and in an instant, he was a hundred feet away. He struck out with the Dragon Subduing Palm, and a red dragon burst forth, creating a crater on the ground.

As Xu Yan's figure moved elusively, he struck out with the Dragon Subduing Palm, moving left and right, up and down, and changing positions in an instant. The Dragon Subduing Palm naturally struck out from different positions in an instant.

With the comprehension of the body technique, Xu Yan's combat power soared.

"Next, I will work hard to practice and quickly advance to the initial stage of the Blood Qi Realm!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited.

...

"Your disciple has successfully mastered the body technique you created and named it the Light Swallow Body Technique. You have directly achieved mastery of the body technique, ten times more powerful than those at the same level."

On the third day after teaching Xu Yan the incantation.

Li Xuan was sitting in a chair, playing with a jade ruyi.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared.

In his mind, the profound principles of the Light Swallow Body Technique instantly surfaced, and he achieved mastery.

Li Xuan stood up, his face showing excitement.

"Indeed, with the incantation and without the incantation, it's different.

"My disciple is a genius. As long as he has the incantation, he can comprehend it.

"It was worth the effort to create the incantation.

"It seems that I can teach him the cultivation method for the Innate Realm earlier, so he can familiarize himself with it and strive to break through to the Innate Realm as soon as possible."

With a light step, he moved as light as a feather, silently and imperceptibly, and in an instant, he left the small village.

His figure moved elusively, extremely fast, but without a hint of wind, completely silent.

Li Xuan, playing with the jade ruyi, had already arrived at Xu Yan's practice location.

He saw his disciple practicing the body technique, continuously striking out with the Dragon Subduing Palm, using the body technique to practice combat strategies.

"It's time for Master to show his skills!"

Li Xuan's face showed a smile.

With a light step, he silently and imperceptibly appeared behind Xu Yan.

With his mastery of the Blood Qi Realm and ten times the power of those at the same level, and his mastery of the Light Swallow Body Technique, ten times more powerful than those at the same level, Xu Yan could not detect his presence.

At that moment, Xu Yan was excitedly practicing, completely unaware of the person following him.

Li Xuan, with his hands behind his back, followed Xu Yan's movements, always staying behind him silently and imperceptibly, without Xu Yan noticing at all.

"Disciple, you will soon feel the power of your Master!"

His face showed a joyful smile.
