In the clouds in the sky.
"City Lord Yan, surely the next one you want to enlighten should be those two disciples?" Yang Wang couldn't resist speaking, too curious to know who Yan Chuan would guide next and who would be the next to prove the Dao!
"It's a pity my Holy Daughter is not here!"
Yang Wang slapped his thigh, regretting on behalf of Wei Lingshan to the point of bitterness.
With Wei Lingshan's strength and accumulation, if she could get Yan Chuan's guidance this ti, maybe she could also go further in the Sword Discussion and prove the Innate.
But, unfortunately, she is too proud to participate again after joining the first session.
Sigh!
Too proud!
This isn't good!
Tian Jing, on the side, was also curious: "I've seen my brother tailor Absolute Skills for many Heavenly Prides, yet the few disciples still practice 'Tai Chi Boxing', 'Baji Fist', 'Xingyi Boxing', and 'Eight Diagram Palm'.
The four famous disciples under Yan Chuan, known as 'Yan's Four Talents'—
The eldest disciple Yu Jinpeng practices 'Tai Chi Boxing'.
The second disciple Jin Yutang practices 'Baji Fist'.
The third disciple Wei Quan practices 'Xingyi Boxing'.
The fourth disciple Che Qi practices 'Eight Diagram Palm'.
Compared to the Heavenly Prides like Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, Wang Ge, and Fu Yunzhan, who obtained various Absolute Skills from Yan Chuan, these disciples' boxing and palm techniques seem too insignificant, not even reaching the level of Absolute Skills.
Among them, Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang already reached their limits by cultivating 'Tai Chi Boxing' and 'Baji Fist' to their current levels—it's the boxing that limits them. If they practiced stronger boxing or Absolute Skills, their strength might not be confined to this.
They are my disciples!
Why not teach them?
Tian Jing didn't understand, nor did the grandmasters.
Only Yan Chuan understood—
"These four disciples of mine lack aptitude. Although Absolute Skills are good, they can't learn them. The 'Five Fists' may be inferior, but they are foundational. Only with a focused mind, they can eventually bear fruit."
Yan Chuan hadn't forgotten that Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang, Wei Quan, and Che Qi were once considered the 'ugly misfits' of Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, each with poor aptitude and low comprehension.
Absolute Skills?
Not to ntion Absolute Skills, Yan Chuan had no lack of True Skills either, but could Yu Jinpeng and the others cultivate them? Could they handle them?
No!
Impossible!
It is far superior to build a foundation with the 'Five Fists'. After solidifying their base, upon revealing their characteristics, then selecting and imparting Absolute Skills to them—this is the right principle.
Yan Chuan possessed "Mutual Teaching and Learning." His martial arts lectures and guidance weren't re rote education, never rigid or formulaic, but tailored to each student's needs.
…
The Cang Mountain Sword Discussion was in full swing.
As the Sword Discussion neared its end, with the arrival of Yan Chuan and the successive attainnt of Dao by Shi Qingke, Peng Fannian, and Ban Xianfu, the atmosphere beca increasingly heated.
Yan Chuan continued to explain.
But high-quality face-offs like those between Shi Qingke and Yu En, Peng Fannian and Ban Xianfu were too few. Hence, Yan Chuan's discussions were quite general, and most of his energy during leisure ti was actually focused on the twelve misty rain monunts atop Chess Stone Peak's twelve stages.
[You can obtain corresponding inspiration from so marks, items, or environnts.]
After raising "Derivation Skill" to level four, Yan Chuan could obtain inspiration from objects. Previously, from the 'Mad Demon Scroll,' Yan Chuan acquired quite a bit of inspiration, which aided him in the developnt of the Saber Technique "Newborn," Cross Refining "Fire Demon Golden Bell Shield," Roar Skill "Ksitigarbha Heavenly Dragon Roar," and "72 Transformations."
The 'Mad Demon Scroll' appeared to be hand-drawn by a War God level, and Yan Chuan even speculated that the creator of the 'Mad Demon Scroll' may not have held a low status or strength, even among those in the War God realm.
Patterns.
Lines.
Chaotic yet can give different inspirations to different people.
Luo the Madman comprehended a saber technique from it.
Yan Chuan realized Cross Refining from it.
Later, with the help of "Derivation Skill," further inspirations like "Ksitigarbha Heavenly Dragon Roar" and "72 Transformations" were derived.
Seemingly endless.
This scroll, too mysterious.
After Luo the Madman comprehended the 'Mad Demon' saber technique from it, he no longer received powerful inspirations affecting his will. To his eyes, the 'Mad Demon Scroll' had no more secrets, appearing solely as the 'Mad Demon' saber technique.
The sa applied to Yan Chuan.
Upon realizing the 'Fire Demon Golden Bell Shield' from the 'Mad Demon Scroll', likewise, it held no further allure without 'Derivation Skill'. He might very well have deed the 'Mad Demon Scroll' ended there.
But that was not the case.
The 'Mad Demon Scroll' still harbors significant potential to be unearthed.
And at this mont.
In Cang Mountain.
The stage Mist Rain Stele is a treasure.
"Junior Brother once gained an insight from the 'Jiangguan Mist Rain Map,' proving the Innate in one fell swoop, but after pondering it again, beca vague, achieving nothing." Yan Chuan gazed at the Rain Stele below, leveraging "Derivation Skill" to try capturing inspiration while engaging in casual discourse with Emperor Yan: "Where did these twelve Mist Rain Steles co from?"
"These were discovered by the 'Mountain and Sea Departnt' from an ancient relic in the Mountain and Sea Realm. After research by the 'Archaeological Departnt', they speculate that these 'Mist Rain Steles' were left by a sect proficient in alchemy and stele carving. The Mountain and Sea Departnt found only 'Mist Rain Steles' and 'Mist Rain Maps', but perhaps earlier, there were also other types like 'landscape paintings', or 'portrait paintings', or 'flowers and birds paintings'." Emperor Yan chuckled: "Is Tan Valley King interested in the Mist Rain Stele?"
"I can't understand the 'Mist Rain Stele', but I'm very intrigued by the mysteries behind similar ancient artifacts." Yan Chuan observed each Mist Rain Stele, each Mist Rain Map, even reading the front text carefully multiple tis.
Upon examining, he nearly fell in.
Yan Chuan quickly maintained a distance, watching intermittently, marveling: "Quite similar to the 'Mad Demon Scroll'!"
Last year's Sword Discussion also featured [Mist Rain Steles], but Yan Chuan's focus was on those Twelve Strong, scarcely glancing over. It wasn't until today that he truly observed them.
This one observation made him feel reminiscent of his state while viewing the 'Mad Demon Scroll'.
The sa unawareness!
The sa captivating allure!
"Could it be that this contains the 'Martial Arts Realm'?"
The key to ascending to the sixth grade of the Innate realm is to comprehend the 'realm'. Treasures or abodes containing such a realm are priceless, such as the seventh-grade divine weapon 'God Slaying Spear' recently auctioned in Five Blessings City, which embodies the 'Soldier Dao Realm', ultimately fetching a sky-high price of 72,990 Primordial Pills.
It speaks volus!
Does the 'Mist Rain Stele' contain a realm?
For now, it's unknown.
But the 'Mist Rain Stele' does contain the ultimate truth of martial arts—
Wuzhenzi, the head of the Three Saints of Wuji Palace, ditated on the {Li River Misty Rain Map} for three years and comprehended the first-grade divine skill "Li River Guiding Skill," achieving the Innate realm, thus remaining eternally youthful.
Qinghu Immortal, Wu Xian of Qinghu Manor, ditated on the {Spring Mountain Misty Rain Painting} for three years and deduced the first-grade extre skill "Fog Sword," with swordsmanship so transcendent that it beca invincible.
The 'Wind God' Lü Xuan, one of the Eight Great Vajra of Eight Phases Mountain, ditated on the {Golden Bull Misty Rain Painting} for three years and derived the first-grade extre skill "Ding Jiangshan," with leg techniques reaching their peak, capable of stabilizing the land with a single step!
...
One by one, top grandmasters of the Great Yan once ditated on at least one {Mist Rain Stele} for as long as three years, deriving first-grade extre skills known as the Geng Five Absolute Skills.
"What about ?"
"What can I derive with the 'Derivation Skill'?"
Yan Chuan was curious.
He watched.
Over and over.
For hours upon hours.
Soon, as only four hours remained before the end of the Second Sword Discussion, Yan Chuan suddenly had a flash of insight—
"Mist Rain Stele!"
"Mist Rain Map!"
"Jiangguan, Linluan, Spring Mountain, He Feng, Li River, Golden Bull, …"
"The {Jiangguan Misty Rain Map} has a majestic aura and vigorous brushwork, akin to the montum of shattering rocks and the roaring storm, bearing a resemblance to the 'Shaoshang Sword' of the {Six ridian Divine Sword} in an ingenious way."
"The {Linluan Misty Rain Map} shrouded in mist, has a unique painting style, quite similar to the 'Shangyang Sword' of the {Six ridian Divine Sword}, brilliant and elusive."
"The {Divine Capital Misty Rain Map} with its grand opening and impressive aura, clearly resembles the 'Middle Strike Sword' of the {Six ridian Divine Sword}!"
Having seen twelve 'Mist Rain Steles', suddenly, six of them corresponded to the {Six ridian Divine Sword}, inspiration surged uncontrollably, pouring out—
"Mist Rain Map!"
"Six ridian Divine Sword?"
"No no no!"
"That's not the essence! The essence lies in—"
"Shaoshang Sword—Hand Taiyin Lung ridian!"
"Shangyang Sword—Hand Yangming Large Intestine ridian!"
"Middle Strike Sword—Hand Jueyin Pericardium ridian!"
"Guan Chong Sword—Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao ridian!"
"Shaochong Sword—Hand Shaoyin Heart ridian!"
"Shaoze Sword—Hand Taiyang Small Intestine ridian!"
Yan Chuan realized that the {Mist Rain Map} only superficially corresponds to the {Six ridian Divine Sword}, and truly corresponds to the 'Twelve Main ridians'—
Hand Taiyin Lung ridian!
Hand Yangming Large Intestine ridian!
Foot Yangming Stomach ridian!
Foot Taiyin Spleen ridian!
Hand Shaoyin Heart ridian!
Hand Taiyang Small Intestine ridian!
Foot Taiyang Bladder ridian!
Foot Shaoyin Kidney ridian!
Hand Jueyin Pericardium ridian!
Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao ridian!
Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder ridian!
Foot Jueyin Liver ridian!
"Six main ridians of hands and feet each."
"In the hand, it's the {Six ridian Divine Sword}!"
"In the foot, it's the {Wave Riding Micro Steps}!"
"Combining with twelve {Mist Rain Steles}, my new skill takes the {Six ridian Divine Sword} and {Wave Riding Micro Steps} as the foundation, running through the Yijing Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four Trigrams, the faster you run, the stronger the Sword Qi becos, with the stepping technique complenting the Sword Qi, and both hands deploying six ridian Sword Qi, forming a 'Six ridian Sword Array' by aligning with Gua Xiang—"
Yan Chuan's inspiration exploded, introducing a skill combining the {Six ridian Divine Sword}, {Wave Riding Micro Steps}, and various finger skills, lightweight body techniques like {Shadowy Charm}, {Ladder Cloud}, and {Heaven and Earth Net Formation}, as well as nurous Swordsmanships including the {Five Mountains Swordsmanship} and {Evil Exorcism Sword Skill}, besides formations like the {True Martial Seven Style Formation} and {Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation}, ultimately with twelve {Mist Rain Steles} as the General Outline, leveraging the 'Twelve Main ridians', a new True Skill erged—
{Task Five: Wave Riding Micro Steps (True Skill)}
The na {Wave Riding Micro Steps} sounds pleasant. Yan Chuan developed this new True Skill under this na, but the content is completely different; the forr {Wave Riding Micro Steps} focused on evasion and used Active Skills to cultivate Inner Strength, stepping through the Sixty-Four Trigrams, with Inner Strength and True Qi naturally circulating through a week, hence every step enhanced power a bit.
The True Skill {Wave Riding Micro Steps} is more direct, operating Sword Qi using 'Twelve Main ridians', augnting the {Six ridian Divine Sword} with 'Twelve Main ridians', stepping through the Sixty-Four Trigrams a week, with the Sword Qi naturally circulating through a week, hence every step sharpens the Sword Qi further.
