Peace Order-Chapter 85 - 63: Zither Sound Moves the Myriad Laws

Li Guanyi today wore a set of black clothes with a subtle pattern, slinging a pouch over his shoulder, unable to put down the Battle Halberd that he cherished so much.

He found his fondness for heavy blades had lessened by the day.

Take the Battle Halberd he now held, for instance.

As long as the sword-wielding opponent before him had not reached the level where Inner Qi could leave the body and cleave with Sword Qi,

Li Guanyi could burst his adversary’s forehead with a single move, the Phoenix Head Nod.

Even if you used Sword Qi, my Battle Halberd still has an advantage of seven or eight feet in distance over you, striking before you can, however, once you reach a certain level, it no longer depends on the weapon, Li Guanyi thought back to the day Yue Qianfeng and Xue Daoyong fought, a battle that shook an area of tens of miles.

The elder released a shot from his bow, hundreds of golden rays fell to the ground.

General Xue’s one arrow traveled over three hundred miles, ripping through Holy Mountain.

At that realm, there was no difference between a Battle Halberd and a sword, what mattered was the martial artist’s strength.

Strength...

Li Guanyi felt a flame quietly burning in his heart, and even though he had come to terms with his past, his yearning for power was growing by the day without his own awareness, the elder took him and Xue Shuangtao to a small courtyard near Wind Listening Pavilion.

The courtyard was not tall, just two floors.

An old man with white hair and eyebrows, his face full of wrinkles, was sitting at the entrance, basking in the sun. Seeing Xue Daoyong, he stood up and bowed in greeting.

Xue Daoyong waved his hand and said, "Today, I’ve brought the kids to choose a few Entering Realm Cultivation Techniques."

"You go get ready."

The elder acknowledged and left.

Dressed in loose-fitting clothing, Xue Daoyong said to Li Guanyi,

"Since you’re going to look for an Entering Realm technique, I should also talk about the realms you’ll encounter after entering. A martial artist at Body Refining Entering Realm can roam the Martial World without fear of being killed by some random band of mountain thieves."

"You could serve as a Guest Elder in an aristocratic family of a small town."

"Even in a place like the border troops, you would be at least a squad leader. Guan Yi should know this."

Li Guanyi nodded in agreement.

Xue Daoyong continued, "For someone from a small place, entering means becoming a person of renown, one in a hundred among those who practice martial arts, enough to live without concerns for a lifetime. For many, it is the goal of their lives."

"But when you look out across the world, there are many heroes; looking back into the past, the number of prominent figures is countless."

"The peak of Martial Tao, this is just the beginning."

The old man pointed to a nearby stone stele, about a fist thick and extremely solid, saying:

"For instance, a martial artist who has just entered cannot break this stone stele."

"If you don’t believe me, give it a try, and see if you can shatter this stone stele with the power of an Entering Realm technique."

He wanted the young man before him to understand the limits of a Body Refining Entering Realm martial artist.

Li Guanyi nodded.

His shoulder moved, dropping the Weapon Bag, he reached out and grabbed the Battle Halberd, bringing his left and right hands together to form a seven or eight feet long weapon. Grasping it with both hands, he swept fiercely, his Inner Qi bursting forth. Although he still couldn’t perform the Wave-Rolling level of martial arts, basic moves were not a problem.

It was the essence of staff techniques incorporated into the Battle Halberd.

With the help of the toughness and elasticity of red sandalwood, the power was perfectly concentrated on the blade of the Battle Halberd.

A technique relying on a short, abrupt burst of force at one point.

The stone stele directly split in half from the middle.

With a flick of his wrist, Li Guanyi swept the Battle Halberd with the technique of a heavy blade, Sweeping Cloud, following the momentum to form an arc. As for raising it high, turning the blade, and striking with the Crescent Blade, he ultimately burst the stele, sweeping it in half, leaving a small portion split down the middle.

Li Guanyi put away his weapon and said, "Broke it."

Xue Daoyong was speechless. freeweɓnøvel~com

Xue Shuangtao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The elder grinned and said, "...You little rascal."

"I meant with your fists!"

He walked to another stone stele.

Li Guanyi looked at this stele; it was made of the standard granite that would unquestionably hurt like hell if one punched it. And he knew the strength of his own punch, it was impossible to break the stele. He would also injure his knuckles, certainly fracture his fingers, and possibly even break them.

At last, the elder had saved some face, speaking indifferently, "It can’t be destroyed, can it?"

"You’d even hurt yourself."

His palm caressed the stele, saying, "Before entering, martial artists refine their bodies with Qi."

"What path do you take after entering? Forebears relentlessly explored, and ultimately found three Gates."

"Body Casting, Qi Condensation, Meridian."

"Body Casting martial artists are like iron cast bodies. Even if they can’t break the stele, they won’t injure themselves..." He raised his fist and punched with the power appropriate for an Entering Realm martial artist. The stele barely trembled, small pieces of rock fell, but the elder’s fist remained undamaged.

"Martial artists of this level refine their bodies to this extreme to protect themselves and to bear a greater burst of Inner Qi."

"Then comes Qi Condensation."

"After entering, the Inner Qi leaves the body, but the Qi you release now is scatter and useless. It can attack foes but is not very effective. Solidify the Qi, like forging iron into a weapon, then you can achieve this," said the elder, throwing another punch with the same strength and Qi Mechanism.

The stele, at least a fist thick, was shattered by the punch. When the Qi Mechanism left the body, it seemed to turn into a sharp edge, extremely condensed.

Xue Daoyong said, "The third Gate is named ’Meridian.’"

"The Qi Mechanism is concentrated, the body forged, then strength can come from the smallest parts of the meridians."

He extended a hand and lightly pressed on the stele.

When he lifted it, there was an unmistakable handprint on the stone.

The elder showed Li Guanyi the realms one must pass through after entering.

"After entering, first cultivate Body Casting. Once that is achieved, you can condense the Qi. Once the body is forged like iron, and the Qi Mechanism solidified, then you can open the Meridians. At that stage, every pathway in the body is unblocked, Inner Qi refined like a sword. At this level, when Inner Qi leaves the body, it’s exceptionally focused, and even normal armor can be pierced with bare hands."
