The news that Han Zheng was allowed to cultivate at the Martial Saint Temple had already been conveyed by the eunuchs to the guardians there, so Han Zheng directly presented his badge from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and the guards allowed him to pass through.
The Martial Saint Temple appeared as a solemn and austere temple from the outside, but in its center, there was no portrait of Yu Jiucang; instead, there was a stone tablet inscribed with the words 'Yu Jiucang'.
For so unknown reason, Martial Saint Yu Jiucang never left behind any portraits in his lifeti.
Han Zheng bowed before the stone tablet inscribed with 'Yu Jiucang' and offered three sticks of incense to the revered Martial Saint.
Publicly, without Yu Jiucang pacifying the realm and driving the Demon Clan beyond the Demon Suppression Pass, the Human Clan would still be hiding like mice, or even being reared as blood food by demons.
Privately, Han Zheng wanted to comprehend the power left by Yu Jiucang, so naturally, he offered extra respect to the reverend saint.
Behind the Martial Saint Temple was a very simple training room, with the uniqueness being that it was entirely made of tal and reinforced with an array on the outside, exuding a cold feeling.
As Han Zheng stepped inside, he imdiately felt a buzzing sensation, plunging into a very mysterious state.
The training room was empty except for a bed and a table, but various strange imprints were left on the walls, and the whole room was filled with an inexplicable aura.
Han Zheng felt as if he was surrounded by countless martial arts masters murmuring softly, expressing their understanding and doubts about martial arts.
In the end, these martial masters all transford into a figure floating in the void, gazing at Han Zheng, and questioning with confusion.
"Where is the ultimate of martial arts?"
Han Zheng's eyes showed a trace of confusion, the ultimate of martial arts? What is the ultimate of martial arts?
Is it power or control over the power of heaven and earth?
"Boy! Wake up! Don't get lost in it!"
Yan Xuankong's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, startling Han Zheng awake.
Han Zheng took a deep breath and looked around, saying, "What just happened?"
"That was the imprint left by the revered Martial Saint Yu Jiucang in the past. The entire training room is sealed with formations, making the ti here co to a standstill, so this imprint can remain eternally.
The power of Yu Jiucang was too overwhelming. Even a casual word from him back then could turn into an imprint in a special place and remain here, let alone this being his training room.
Boy, you have decent perception, so you can clearly sense the information left by these imprints.
However, not all the information in these imprints is useful. For example, the question earlier isn't sothing at your level that you're qualified to ponder.
So your task is to eliminate those imprints that are useless for your current state and comprehend the imprint information suitable for your current realm."
Han Zheng nodded and asked, "Old Yan, have you been to this place too?"
Yan Xuankong, with a tinge of bitterness, said, "Back when I was in the Capital City, I had no backing, and wasn't as popular as you, kid. The previous Emperor had a short life and seed not to favor . Naturally, I wouldn't be allowed to cultivate at the Martial Saint Temple; this is all sothing I've heard from others."
When Yan Xuankong was the Garrison Commander, the Grand Commander of the Demon Cleansing Bureau wasn't Qi Zhangwu. Obviously, the relationship between the Grand Commander of that generation and Yan Xuankong wasn't great.
Han Zheng sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating his mind as various imprint information erged in his mind.
In an instant, Han Zheng beca imrsed in it, as if he was cultivating by Yu Jiucang's side three thousand years ago.
Yu Jiucang's realm was too high, causing Han Zheng to be unable to comprehend most of the information.
However, there was one piece of information in an imprint that gave Han Zheng a great deal of insight, which was the fusion of martial arts.
Whether it is Tao, Buddhist, or Demon, or sword, blade, or spear, each martial art and weapon has different categories.
But it is said that Martial Saint Yu Jiucang mastered the strengths of Tao, Buddhist, and Demon Paths and possessed the Nine Divine Weapons.
Yu Jiucang achieving this was not only because of his astounding talent, allowing him to master any martial arts power.
More importantly, because Yu Jiucang saw through the essence of martial power, he could fuse different martial powers at will.
This fusion is a manifestation of grasping the origin of martial arts. Every martial power under heaven ultimately leads to the sa source. Once the origin is grasped, these powers can be fused and transford at will.
The path Han Zheng is walking is the sa as the one Yu Jiucang once walked.
Strictly speaking, Han Zheng is currently cultivating Tao, Buddhist, and Demon Paths simultaneously.
The Mandala Sky Demon Barrier is a demonic technique, which also integrates the power of the Esoteric Sect.
The Great Brahma Heavenly God King Seal is a Buddhist cultivation technique, while the Dragon and Tiger True Dao Body belongs to the Taoist Path.
With the Taotie Furnace, Han Zheng can push them all to their extre.
But in reality, these techniques have no connection with each other.
At the mont, Han Zheng imrsed himself entirely, constantly comprehending the information from the imprints.
A month later, Han Zheng was still seated cross-legged on the ground, comprehending the imprints left by Yu Jiucang, appearing almost petrified.
Yu Jiucang's realm was too high, not to ntion a month, even if given a year, Han Zheng might not truly comprehend the origin of martial arts and be able to fuse these powers freely.
However, this month of comprehension was not in vain; Han Zheng could distinctly sense that his application of martial arts had beco smooth and integrated, not as stiff as before.
Moreover, this comprehension seed like a seed; once Han Zheng comprehends a bit, he has a chance to truly tear through the fog and walk his own path of martial arts.
At this mont, a bell sound ca from outside. It was the guards reminding Han Zheng that his ti was up.
Han Zheng stood up and walked out of the Martial Saint Temple with strides.
Though it was only a month, Han Zheng felt as if a lifeti had passed.
"How was it? Did you gain anything?"
Yan Xuankong asked curiously.
Han Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I gained a lot, although it doesn't manifest yet, this month's cultivation will streamline my future cultivation tenfold or even a hundredfold.
Yu Jiucang is truly worthy of the title of Martial Saint; his understanding of martial arts has surpassed the current realm of martial arts, and with just one more step, he could be akin to gods and Buddhas.
No, for a martial artist, Yu Jiucang is a god! A god above martial arts!"
For those who do not cultivate in martial arts, Yu Jiucang is the Martial Saint who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Great Zhou Grand Ancestor to rescue the Human Clan, just a powerful symbol.
But only by cultivating martial arts and truly comprehending the imprint information left by Yu Jiucang can one realize how terrifying he truly was.
It can be said that even a random imprint in the Martial Saint Temple, if thoroughly comprehended by soone, would qualify them to establish a sect and create a top sect in the Martial World!
Moreover, there are countless such martial arts imprints in the Martial Saint Temple, too many to imagine.
Precious knowledge isn't easily transmitted, no wonder the Great Zhou sealed the Martial Saint Temple so tightly, using it only as a reward for ritorious ministers.
Just as Han Zheng returned to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Chu Xinghe, seeing him return, promptly said, "Sir, the Grand Commander has instructed that once you co out of the Martial Saint Temple, you should imdiately seek him out as there is a task for you."
Han Zheng nodded, imdiately going to find Qi Zhangwu.
"Did you gain anything in the Martial Saint Temple?"
Qi Zhangwu looked at Han Zheng; without waiting for him to answer, he smiled and said, "Seeing your appearance, I can tell you definitely gained quite a bit."
Han Zheng nodded and said, "Yu Jiucang's understanding of martial arts is like the vast ocean, inexhaustible; even a slightest insight is enough for to benefit for life."
"It's good to have gained sothing, but as a martial artist, you still need to walk your own path. Yu Jiucang's path is too unique, unprecedented and will not be followed, unsuitable for anyone else."
Qi Zhangwu advised Han Zheng and then said solemnly, "There's news regarding the Blood Demon Sect's affairs.
The remnants of the Blood Demon Sect are not just Pan Qiaoniang; according to investigations, soone seems to want to revive the Blood Demon Sect.
No matter who is behind those remnants, my Demon Cleansing Bureau can destroy them the first ti, and we can do so again!"
Qi Zhangwu handed Han Zheng a booklet, with a hint of cold killing intent in his eyes: "Find these underground rats and eliminate them completely!"
