Chapter 527: Chapter 475: A Substitute for the True Meaning of Martial Arts, Spiritual Root?

The Ancestor Celestial Master was able to eradicate a substantial number of Ghost Gods at the Temple of Smiting Evil. The Zhengyi Alliance’s prestige was used to command these Ghost Gods due to the outset of the Zhengyi Talisman—an alliance with them.

However, after the Tang Dynasty, as Heaven and Earth declined the Ghost Gods began to fade, and the ability was revealed no more to the world. Thus, the Zhengyi Talisman increasingly became a symbol.

Yet, with Heaven and Earth now rejuvenated, this technique cannot possibly stay hidden. Even if there are no Ghost Gods now, not long ago in the enfeoffment of the Gods, hasn’t Dragon Tiger Mountain received quite a few Divine Positions?

“You’re right, I forgot about that.” Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this and then quickly reacted.

The Shenxiao Sect does indeed belong to the Zhengyi Alliance. Nonetheless, because Pei Xuanjing is presiding over it currently, even the old Celestial Master wouldn’t dare to mention imposing the command of Zhengyi in front of him, which he inadvertently overlooked.

“Hahaha.”

The two of them shared a glance and a smile; everything was left unspoken. They decided to let this matter rest for now.

Pei Xuanjing switched the topic, asking, “So, what do you make of what happened at Dragon Tiger Mountain?”

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression changed, he replied, “The Old Celestial Master is highly powerful. He can suppress these people, but what about the other forces?”

“They will likely face great peril,” Pei Xuanjing responded calmly.

A glint sparkled in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes as he suggested, “Perhaps, we need to investigate some of these forces to see if anything unusual has surfaced.”

There is no certainty regarding the number of people who have returned from the Sky Wasteland, even Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t dare to make such a claim. But what he can guarantee is that it’s definitely not limited to Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The several times Pei Xuanjing had shown his might demonstrated his invincible stance in this world, discouraging many from challenging him. It also inadvertently disturbed potential threats.

Unless those returnees have utmost confidence that they can suppress Pei Xuanjing or they’re purely foolish, they will definitely maintain a low profile.

What transpired at Dragon Tiger Mountain is undoubtedly not the first of its kind. The Old Celestial Master’s counter-suppression may be coincidental.

For the majority of forces, even though the rejuvenation of Heaven and Earth enhanced their power, there aren’t many who could easily suppress the returning powerhouses if faced with one.

Also, not everyone is as foolish as those three at Dragon Tiger Mountain to choose intimidation. What if they choose bribery?

It is widely known that the complete inheritances dominated by Sky Wasteland are not something every force can acquire currently. As long as enough is surrendered in return, they could potentially be persuaded and enticed.

After all, unlike Dragon Tiger Mountain, most forces don’t possess such significant interests in the current Daming World which they cannot easily relinquish.

“It seems our most concerning scenario has come to pass,” Pei Xuanjing sighed lightly.

Strongholds are most easily breached from within. If the enemy truly chooses this clandestine infiltration approach, it is difficult to defend against when one’s tactics are visible while the enemy’s remain concealed.

Bai Xiaosheng too felt crestfallen. Why are these people from Sky Wasteland so timid?

Although Pei Xuanjing is strong, they come from the renowned Sky Wasteland, possessing such profound inheritances and an array of means. How come they can’t suppress Pei Xuanjing and instead resort to these schemes?

Pei Xuanjing stated, “You should primarily investigate some of the significant forces that have inheritances from the Sky Wasteland, see if they have recently exhibited any anomalies?”

Bai Xiaosheng asked, “What if we discover something? Should we confront or negotiate?”

“That decision rests in their hands.” Pei Xuanjing said nonchalantly.

If the other party is acting in good faith, not disrupting his plans, Pei Xuanjing would consider staying his hand. But if someone attempts to sabotage his plans, they cannot blame him for what happens next.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded. Just as he stood up and was about to leave, he suddenly asked, “I heard you’re trying to solve the problem of the pseudo-grandmaster. How is that going?”

Pei Xuanjing shook his head and stated, “It’s complicated.”

This issue concerning the pseudo-grandmaster has persisted for thousands of years. Just thinking about it demonstrates its complexity; even from his current standpoint, it’s not a simple matter.

He had some directions in mind at the moment, but wasn’t entirely certain. Moreover, even when he reaches a decision, this method needs to be tested to see if it’s feasible.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t probe further; he was simply making casual conversation.

Since he still had many matters on his plate, after exchanging a few words with Pei Xuanjing, he turned and left.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind; their paths are fundamentally different. It’s exactly because of this difference that they don’t have conflicting interests and were able to cooperate until now.

“The True Meaning of Martial Arts is the understanding and awareness of a Martial Artist during their cultivation. Only a martial artist who comprehends the True Meaning of Martial Arts can fully understand what they’ve learned, using the True Meaning of Martial Arts as a foundation to cultivate their Blood Qi Wolf Smoke. But for a Martial Artist without the True Meaning of Martial Arts, their blood qi disperses around their body, unable to converge, making their cultivation journey almost impossible to proceed,” Pei Xuanjing mused, recalling the description of the True Meaning of Martial Arts. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The True Meaning of Martial Arts could be considered a ticket for Martial Artists in the Upper Three Realms, a pass to reach the first-grade realm.

Although pseudo-grandmasters have used external forces to refine their Blood Qi to this extent, without the True Meaning of Martial Arts, they are like a tree without roots. Their blood qi is like a floating duckweed without roots, only able to remain stuck in the third-grade realm, incapable of further advancement.

Although in this rejuvenated Heaven and Earth, even without the True Meaning of Martial Arts, a Martial Artist might gradually progress by painstakingly refining their Blood Qi, the pace of this progress is slow as a snail’s crawl compared to the speed of those who have comprehended the True Meaning of Martial Arts.

“By such accounts, the most crucial factor still lies within the True Meaning of Martial Arts. It’s much like the ‘Spiritual Roots’ mentioned in cultivation novels from my previous life. Without spiritual roots, one cannot embark on the path of cultivation,” Pei Xuanjing drew on some recollections in his mind for a comparison to the descriptions of the True Meaning of Martial Arts.

The True Meaning of Martial Arts congeals the Blood Qi, similar to how the spiritual roots transform the spiritual energy. Both have certain similarities in their roles, achieving the same effect through different means.

Therefore, the most crucial method is to solve the issue of Blood Qi congealing in the True Meaning of Martial Arts. For those martial artists who cannot cultivate the True Meaning of Martial Arts, they need an alternative to help them congeal and collect their Blood Qi, allowing the Blood Qi scattered around them to converge and thereby strengthening and transforming their body.

An alternative to the True Meaning of Martial Arts?

Spiritual Root?

Pei Xuanjing was pondering these words, his mind working rapidly, pondering over certain matters.

Suddenly, a spark lit in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes as he thought of something.

In his past life, he read several novels that described spiritual roots for cultivation. Although spiritual roots were natural, they were extremely rare and not every mortal possessed spiritual roots to embark on the journey of cultivation.

As a result, someone proposed a solution, namely, man-made spiritual roots.
