Chapter 39: Transmitting the Method of the Innate Realm

Xu Yan stopped practicing, his face beaming with an excited smile.

"By combining the Light Swallowing Body Technique with the Dragon Subduing Palm, my combat strength has greatly increased. With my current power, I can come and go freely even in an army of a hundred thousand, and slaying generals in the midst of a thousand soldiers is as easy as turning over one's hand!"

Xu Yan muttered to himself, a sense of pride welling up inside him.

He thought to himself, "Breaking off the engagement, huh? Thinking I'm not smart enough and a disgrace, huh? I said that one day your Jiang family would be unable to match me, and now you can't even reach my level.

"So what if I'm the general of Donghe? Even the old emperor of Qi can be ignored by me."

Xu Yan was a young man full of vigor and blood. Being jilted and ridiculed, how could he not feel a bit resentful?

At this moment, having entered the martial arts realm and greatly increased his strength, the armies of Qi seemed like mere chickens and dogs to him.

The pride of youth naturally surged within him.

He now felt that those who mocked him were pitiful, like frogs at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vastness of the world. Their mocking words no longer reached his ears.

They were no longer in the same world as him.

"Disciple, to be able to comprehend the body technique in such a short time and think of combining it with the Dragon Subduing Palm, well done!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.

Xu Yan was instantly startled and hurriedly turned around, only to see his master standing behind him with a calm demeanor.

"Master, when did you come?"

"I've been here since you started practicing the body technique and the Dragon Subduing Palm."

Xu Yan was greatly shaken: "I didn't notice at all. Master usually looks like an ordinary person, but this slight display makes me realize how insignificant I am!"

"When will I be able to be like Master, appearing as an ordinary person?

"This is what Master meant by returning to simplicity and the natural way!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his master was unfathomable.

"Disciple, with your current strength, not only can you come and go freely in an army of a hundred thousand, but you could also wipe them out, it would just take some time!"

Li Xuan then said sternly, "But disciple, remember, martial arts are not about killing. If you become a killer, you will fall into demonic obstacles and ultimately be destroyed."

He was worried that his disciple, with a proud heart and great strength, might become arrogant and lose his sense of reverence in the land of Qi.

This was not a good thing.

However, Li Xuan was not too worried that Xu Yan would go astray. His disciple had a good heart and knew his limits.

Moreover, his martial arts heart was firm.

With his master's guidance, he would not lose himself due to the weak martial power of the outside world.

Besides, the martial power of this world might not be as low as in Qi.

The Fire Mane Wolf was an example.

"Yes, Master, I will remember it in my heart!"

Xu Yan said respectfully.

"Hmm, although you should not become a killer, you should not be weak either. Kill when necessary, and have a clear sense of right and wrong. Do not bully the weak, and have a sense of measure."

Li Xuan said in a gentle tone.

He did not want his disciple to become arrogant and create slaughter.

Of course, he also did not want his disciple to be too soft and hesitant, failing to act when necessary.

Those who should be killed must be killed, without hesitation!

"I understand!"

Xu Yan bowed.

"Hmm, practice well and strive to achieve the minor success of the Blood Qi Realm soon. When the time comes, I will transmit the method of the next realm to you."

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Yan was immediately excited.

"Master, rest assured, I will strive to break through to the minor success of the Blood Qi Realm within half a month!"

"Good, in half a month, I will transmit the method of the Innate Realm to you."

After giving his disciple a boost, Li Xuan was very satisfied.

In half a month, he could transmit the method of the Innate Realm, allowing Xu Yan to begin comprehending it.

...

In the following half month, Xu Yan devoted himself entirely to intense practice, even pausing his further comprehension and practice of the Light Swallowing Body Technique and the Dragon Subduing Palm.

Hard work pays off.

After half a month, Xu Yan's blood qi soared thirty zhang high, reaching the minor success stage of the Blood Qi Realm.

On that day, Li Xuan sat in a chair, looking at the gloomy sky, which seemed about to snow.

"It's time to leave."

Li Xuan sighed, feeling it was time to leave this remote village.

Since crossing over to this world, he had not left the village, and he knew nothing about the outside world.

He only knew that he was in the territory of Donghe County, Qi State.

At this moment, a golden light appeared.

"Your disciple has achieved the minor success of the Blood Qi Realm, and you have directly reached the full Blood Qi Realm, with strength a hundred times that of the same realm."

The Blood Qi Realm was complete!

Li Xuan felt his blood qi surge instantly.

With a thought, his blood qi soared three hundred zhang high!

"My foolish disciple can do it. Achieving the minor success of the Blood Qi Realm in half a month, it's time to transmit the method of the Innate Realm to him.

"If he comprehends the method of the Innate Realm before breaking through, can I directly advance to the Innate Realm?"

Li Xuan pondered.

The golden finger's feedback was based on the disciple's cultivation results.

If a realm had not been reached but the method was comprehended, would there still be feedback?

Now, transmitting the method of the Innate Realm to Xu Yan could verify this.

"Master, I have broken through!"

Xu Yan returned excitedly, bowing.

"Hmm."

Li Xuan nodded, still sitting in the chair, his gaze lifting slightly. "I will transmit the method of the Innate Realm to you. You must comprehend it, but do not aim too high or be too hasty. Cultivation must be step by step.

"You must be down-to-earth and solidify your foundation. Otherwise, if your foundation is not firm and you blindly pursue breakthroughs, you will ultimately ruin your martial arts future."

To prevent his disciple from neglecting the cultivation of the Blood Qi Realm and becoming too ambitious, trying to break through to the Innate Realm without reaching the full Blood Qi Realm, Li Xuan gave stern and earnest advice.

"Yes, Master, I will be down-to-earth and carefully refine the foundation of the Blood Qi Realm."

Xu Yan composed himself and said respectfully.

"Hmm, I believe you have a sense of measure."

Li Xuan nodded, stood up, placed one hand behind his back, and looked into the distance with his head slightly raised.

For some reason, Li Xuan felt particularly at ease in this posture, exuding the demeanor of a strict teacher and a great master.

"Beyond the Blood Qi Realm is the Innate Realm. What is the Innate? It is transcending the mundane and returning to the true, purifying the mortal body, and becoming innate.

"Entering the Innate, in a certain sense, means transcending the mundane..."

Li Xuan began to explain the introduction of the Innate Realm, which he had prepared in advance.

Xu Yan listened attentively, his heart filled with excitement.

Entering the Innate meant, in a certain sense, transcending the mundane and no longer being an ordinary person.

And this was just the second realm of martial arts.

It was hard to imagine how powerful the subsequent realms would be.

"To break through to the Innate Realm, you need to have full blood qi, connect the two bridges of heaven and earth, link heaven and earth, guide the heavenly and earthly qi into your body, open the dantian qi sea, and refine blood qi into innate true qi...

"When your entire body's blood qi is transformed into innate true qi, you will enter the Innate Realm.

"The cultivation of the Innate Realm involves absorbing the heavenly and earthly qi and refining it into innate true qi..."

Li Xuan explained the method of cultivating the Innate Realm, which he had prepared, to Xu Yan.

He explained what the two bridges of heaven and earth were, where the dantian qi sea was, and so on.
