Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 811 - 518: Eight Extremes Divine Skill?

Yan Chuan entrusted the war entirely to Ni Mengtong and Tan Yunqing—

Ni Mengtong commands thirty thousand Tan Valley Army.

Tan Yunqing deploys over ten Innate experts.

Tension is high.

Battle looms.

Before this, Yan Chuan privately met with Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang.

"We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and there was never an opportunity to chat. You both gave me a huge surprise at Cang Mountain." Yan Chuan patted his two disciples on the shoulder, with a look of satisfaction.

He truly did not expect that his two disciples, who were of dull aptitude, would grow to the Second Tier of Cang Mountain Sword Discussion in just over a year apart, and could easily secure a spot among the Twelve Strong in the inaugural discussion.

They grew so fast!

Yan Chuan was thrilled!

"Master!"

Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang, upon seeing their master again, were overjoyed to hear his praise. Jin Yutang, who had long been bursting with things to say to his master, finally had the chance, but didn't know where to start.

On the side.

Yu Jinpeng's eyes welled up: "I've been away for over a year and couldn't fulfill my filial duties in front of Master, feeling truly ashamed!"

After being apart for over a year, the longing was genuine.

They didn't bring any gifts for their master, but upon meeting, their master had a 'great gift' for them, "Disciple is ashamed!"

"No need for that," Yan Chuan laughed: "I am already very comforted that you are safe and sound outside, and even more so that you have accomplished such great feats, bringing honor to my name."

Jin Yutang was moved: "Disciple achieved nothing, without Master's guidance, my senior brother and I couldn't possibly have proven Dao at Cang Mountain."

Truthfully, Jin Yutang felt like he was dreaming until now.

This year.

Or from July the year before, everything seemed like a dream, from the daily increasing attainment in boxing at the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall in Guangling City, to the Limit-breaking at Jian Province Competition the following year, to the unexpected opportunities and rapid growth in the Mountain and Sea Realm nearly a year later. They thought that reaching the Peak State before the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion would already be astonishing, and neither Jin Yutang nor Yu Jinpeng ever imagined they could break through to Innate at Cang Mountain.

Innate?

Grandmaster?

What kind of figures are those?

How many have been stuck at this step at the Peak State?

The inaugural.

This one.

How many Heavenly Prides have been stopped?

They?

Without that cave mansion, there would have been no hope.

But who would have thought, one piece of advice from Master, and in the last two hours of the Sword Discussion, they both proved Dao, a shocking upset.

From this moment!

They are also Innate!

They are also Grandmasters!

Renowned throughout the world.

Admired by thousands.

Jin Yutang was grateful, knowing that everything was thanks to his old master: "Without Master, there would be no disciple!"

Jin Yutang knelt on the ground, eyes reddened.

"You two!" Yan Chuan shook his head. What's with all this sadness with three Innate in our school? He helped Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang up, while the three of them chatted. Listening to the stories, Yan Chuan realized the two had quite the experiences this past year. They originally trained and managed outside 'Mangjin City' in the Qi Wu Realm of Jinze Region, hoping to lay a foundation for Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall and Hundred Flower Palace.

"Last December, I went with senior brother to teach boxing to surrounding tribes, along the way we were chased by Alien Beasts and accidentally entered a mysterious cave mansion. We didn't know how we got in or how we would get out, and stayed there for several months, able to survive without food or drink. The cave was barren and dull, so my senior brother and I focused on practicing boxing with clear minds. One day, we suddenly came to our senses and the world had changed, like awakening from a dream and returning to reality."

Like a dream of South Branch!

A dream of a hundred days!

"That perhaps was a War God's cave mansion, full of impressions, abundant with Primordial Qi, with mysterious Arrays. Encountering such a cave and practicing within for a hundred days, reaching the Peak State upon leaving, is your great fortune." Yan Chuan marveled.

The Mountain and Sea Realm is vast and mysterious, nurturing countless strong individuals and opportunities, with unknown miracles happening daily. Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang's encounter might be extraordinary in the Great Yan, but is commonplace in the Mountain and Sea Realm. At least Yan Chuan has read many records, where people encountered ancient cave mansions, gained enlightenment of impressions, and directly entered the War God Realm.

Like the dream of Yellow Millet!

Instantly becoming a War God!

Compared to those records, Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang's opportunity of merely reaching the Peak State is nothing?

Not worth mentioning.

In terms of opportunity, their greatest opportunity was Yan Chuan—

...

"Jinpeng has a peaceful temperament, perfectly suitable for practicing 'Tai Chi Boxing.' You've seen Jing Bao at Cang Mountain, whose practice of 'Tai Chi Divine Skill' is deduced from 'Tai Chi Boxing,' which includes 'Tai Chi Skill,' 'Tai Chi Boxing,' 'Tai Chi Sword,' 'Tai Chi Spear,' 'Tai Chi Saber,' and so forth, integrated into one, it's already a First-Grade Absolute Skill."

First-Grade Absolute Skill!

Geng Five Absolute Skills!

Yan Chuan has customized many Absolute Skills for many people, and of course, he would not overlook his own disciples. The "Tai Chi Divine Skill" was specially tailored for Yu Jinpeng.

"Thank you, Master!" Yu Jinpeng had seen Jing Bao demonstrate the "Tai Chi Divine Skill." In terms of intricacy and power, it far surpassed his "Tai Chi Boxing." Switching from "Tai Chi Boxing" to practice the "Tai Chi Divine Skill," his innate foundation, and his future path in innateness had found a direction.

Yu Jinpeng, "Tai Chi Divine Skill."

Beside him.

Jin Yutang was full of anticipation.

His "Baji Fist" wasn't bad either; he had defeated many Heavenly Prides on Cang Mountain. However, compared to those top Heavenly Prides, he seemed slightly inferior. He felt that his "Baji Fist" had reached its peak, difficult to progress further, but others continued to advance even during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion.

That's where the gap showed.

The skill Master prepared for Senior Brother was Jing Bao's "Tai Chi Divine Skill," which Jin Yutang had seen and found extremely formidable.

What about him?

What had Master prepared for him? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Eight Extremes Divine Skill"?

"Certainly not 'Eight Extremes Divine Skill.'" Yan Chuan smiled at Yu Jinpeng and said, "Outside the Nine Provinces, there is the Eight Yins; outside the Eight Yins, there is the Eight Zones; outside the Eight Zones, there is the Eight Extremes. 'Baji Fist' implies that the momentum can reach all directions to the farthest places. This boxing method is simple and straightforward, fierce and crisp, with many Shock Foot and force-exerting actions. I have extrapolated an Absolute Skill based on 'Baji Fist' and drew inspiration from 'Zhou Yi' to create a boxing method; the moves are simple, but the essence lies in moving energy and exerting force. This skill is regarded as the utmost in masculinity, extremely firm and strong, but when practiced deeply, can be easily controlled, both hard and soft, as you wish. When at its peak, hard force and soft force blend into one, reflecting the principle of old yang giving birth to little yin in 'The Book of Changes.'"

"What is this skill called?" Jin Yutang was fervently excited by Yan Chuan's words.

'Baji Fist' was already the fiercest boxing method he had seen, and the skill Master mentioned was even more valiant than 'Baji Fist'?

Supremely firm and strong!

How strong could it get?

Jin Yutang was looking forward to it.

"This skill is called the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.'"

"With your foundation in 'Baji Fist,' practicing this boxing method, which is simple in form yet deeply powerful, couldn't be more fitting. This skill relies entirely on strong and fierce power for victory, and fits well with your nature. Moreover, I noticed that on Cang Mountain, you once deployed a set of 'Eight Gates Secret Skill' that could tap potential. I have a Divine Skill named 'Qiankun Great Shifting,' which has a similar magical effect, and I'll incorporate the Eight Gates into it, modifying the seven layers of 'Qiankun Great Shifting' into eight layers to enhance its power further. Coupled with 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms,' once you've mastered these two Divine Skills, you'll find it hard to encounter an opponent of equal rank!"

'Baji Fist' + 'Eight Gates Secret Skill' → 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' + 'Qiankun Great Shifting'!

Jin Yutang's martial arts were upgraded, all elevated to advanced Divine Skill Absolute Skills, no need to abandon previous accumulations, could be smoothly transitioned, and form combat power, dramatically boosting battle power in a short time.

Jin Yutang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master!"

...

Yu Jinpeng: "Tai Chi Divine Skill"!

Jin Yutang: "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" + "Qiankun Great Shifting"!

The two disciples had their foundations laid.

As for the other two disciples, the third disciple, Wei Quan, although he received guidance from Yan Chuan on Cang Mountain, the 'Daoist Cushion' allowed his 'Xingyi Boxing' skills to advance significantly, and his cultivation soared to limit-breaking Fourth Grade, yet it was still limit-breaking, so he continued to delve into deep study of 'Xingyi Boxing'; Yan Chuan's pursuit of 'National Martial Arts' has long elevated 'Xingyi Boxing' to the level of an Absolute Skill, vast and profound, enough for Wei Quan to practice.

The fourth disciple, Che Qi, practiced 'Eight Diagram Palm,' and with his just-broken-limit strength, this hand technique still had room to practice. When the timing was right and he reached the Peak State, it would not be too late to pass on other Absolute Skills.

Being Yan Chuan's disciple meant easy improvements, but the foundation must be solid; otherwise, even with the 'Daoist Cushion,' it would be difficult to catch up in the future.

Passing skill to Yu Jinpeng.

Passing skill to Jin Yutang.

Afterwards, Yan Chuan passed skills to Ban Xianfu—

"The 'Mad Demon' Saber Skill's killing intent far exceeds the 'Avici Saber Technique,' and its demonic nature far exceeds the 'Holy Fire Order Divine Skill.' This is a nascent form of True Skill; as an innate one, you must maintain your heart, control the 'Mad Demon,' and not become a 'Mad Demon'!"

...

"It's done!"

In a quiet room, Yan Chuan opened his eyes, his aura fluctuating intensely; evidently, he had reached Innate Sixth Layer!

More than a month ago, on May 30th this year, Yan Chuan was promoted to Innate Fifth Layer.

Later, he devised a 'Krypton Gold' plan, intending to use the resources of 100 Primordial Pills to complete the Innate Fifth Layer training within a month. Ultimately, it was delayed by four days, but fortunately, the error wasn't significant.

The fourth day of the seventh lunar month, Great Yan Hongwu Year Twelve.

Yan Chuan further advanced to Innate Sixth Layer.

...

[Experience: 26.3 million]

[Spiritual: 5.3 million]

[Cultivation: Innate Sixth Layer (Fourth day of the seventh lunar month)]

[Physique: Innate Thirteen Layers (92 Fire Bud Crystals)]

...

More than a month ago, on May 30th, when Yan Chuan rose to Innate Fifth Layer, he had only 86.5 Primordial Pills on him.

In June, through Wei Buqun's connections, Yan Chuan lectured on martial arts in Xunwu Region for six to seven days, earning 28 Primordial Pills.

In June, martial arts lecture income in Heavenly Ladder City amounted to 62 Primordial Pills, and selling five pieces of Fourth-Rank Golden Talisman Stone brought in 104 Primordial Pills. After deducting the cost of 100 Primordial Pills for 'Krypton Gold' training, 38.65 Primordial Pills for sweeping raw stones, and the cost of 40 Primordial Pills for 500 sets of 'Scattering Flower Lamp' and its oil, plus the deduction for innate salary, Yan Chuan's daily Cultivation essence stone consumption, and resource consumption of 11 Primordial Pills needed to eliminate fire and dryness while refining 'Fire Bud Crystal' in 'Fire Demon Golden Bell Shield'.

83.35 Primordial Pills!

That's all the Primordial Pills Yan Chuan had left, 3 less than at the end of May.

But entering July and reaching Innate Sixth Layer, if he wanted to complete the Innate Sixth Layer training within a month, 100 Primordial Pills would not be enough.
