Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction Chapter 192 - 48 Diagram

Quiet Room in the Residence.

Lin Yuan has already swallowed nearly twenty Golden Cloud Pills.

The accumulation speed of the energy in his body has reached another level, making his martial arts cultivation improve rapidly.

"After cultivating for so long, I’ve finally stepped into the seventh layer of the Condensed Yuan level."

The Qi-Blood and ridians circulating endlessly within have basically covered all the main ridians of his body.

The number of energy ridians in his body has reached sixty-four. Compared to other martial artists in Yanghua, the energy volu is twice as abundant as others.

And all of this is due to the supre martial arts foundation of the Qi-Blood realm.

Moreover, he has already stepped into the borderless realm, so there’s no worry about not being able to control such an overwhelming amount of energy. The mid and late-stage bottlenecks of the Condensed Yuan realm pose no barrier to him.

From so perspectives, even breaking through the bottleneck from the Condensed Yuan to the Aperture Opening realm is not difficult.

This is all the benefit brought by his breakthrough to the borderless realm.

Stepping into the late stage of Condensed Yuan, Lin Yuan’s mood is much more relaxed. With his increasing strength, he feels more confident in dealing with ethereal spirits.

While he was secretly cultivating in the quiet room.

In the main hall at the center of the academy, a middle-aged man in a black robe stood tall, like a thousand-year-old pine standing still, with a natural aura that those around him could clearly feel emanating from within.

His eyes were extrely sharp, glancing around, with an oppressive aura that seed to spread an invisible force throughout the air.

Behind him were over ten people.

Six of them wore dark robes with golden embroidered patterns of radiating sunrays on the left chest. The others were dressed differently, but their faces were sowhat youthful, around twenty years old.

Those in dark robes all had bulging muscles and extrely robust physique, with eyes radiating fierce energy, clearly marking them as skilled practitioners at the late stage of Condensed Yuan.

Moreover, the energy emanating from them seed to produce a scorching aura, making Pei Zeqi and others reluctant to easily release their energy to inspect.

At this mont, the black-robed envoy casually glanced over the others in the hall.

Both the ancestors of the Pei and Hong families stood respectfully below, waiting for the envoy to speak.

"Yanghua, as our Xuri Martial Academy, has called all of you here today. Surely you all understand it’s for the selection of disciples to enter the academy."

"The grace of Upper City is sothing our Yanghua is imnsely grateful for." Pei Zeqi hurriedly bowed, his expression solemn.

"My surna is Cao, nad Qin. I am the chief orchestrator of this selection. The others are disciples of our academy." Cao Qin slightly raised his hand.

At this, a person behind him stepped forward under the gaze of the crowd.

When he reached beside Cao Qin, he flicked his hand.

Swoosh.

A scroll was unfolded.

Everyone, including Pei Zeqi, couldn’t help but look towards the scroll.

The scroll depicted a scene of clouds enveloping a large sun. But if you look closely, the clouds appeared to be constantly changing. From the dense clouds nearby to the light mist in the distance, each layer of clouds had its unique texture and movent.

Sunlight streams through the gaps in the clouds, casting patches of golden light like fine gold leaf, adding a touch of mystery to the clouds.

The pattern seed like sunlight veiled by endless clouds, but the thin clouds did not fully obscure the sunlight.

All present were srized by the pattern on the scroll, yet felt increasingly puzzled the more they looked, as if the clouds were in constant motion, unknowingly drawing them into the layered clouds.

Even the two highly cultivated ancestors felt dizzy and sowhat fatigued.

After regaining their clarity, a sense of lingering fear flashed through their hearts, and they quickly averted their gaze, afraid to look again.

Only one person in the field managed to hold on, and that was Hou Sixian.

Cao Qin, observing Hou Sixian’s contemplation, waited silently to see how long he could persist.

Finally, after approximately sixty breaths.

Hou Sixian’s face lost its color, as if he had just escaped from a horrifying nightmare.

"This person can endure sixty breaths, but judging by his age, he seems to be nearing thirty, yet his age is a bit over, missing the opportunity."

Cao Qin lanted inwardly.

After retreating from the scroll, Hou Sixian hurriedly closed his eyes, striving to calm the seemingly turbulent energy within him.

A few breaths later, Hou Sixian slowly opened his eyes, a hint of fear flashing beneath them.

Just now, he almost lost himself in layer upon layer of clouds, as if trapped within a chaotic labyrinth, nearly unable to find himself.

Yet this scroll was used rely for selection, not for harming lives. When he was about to reach his limit, the clouds suddenly dispersed, bringing his mind back to his body.

Cao Qin, seeing Hou Sixian recovering, spoke plainly: "Everyone, this painting is called the Cloud Hidden Sky Light Map, a duplicate of the first volu of the Divine Map, the main cultivation thod of our Xuri Martial Academy. It contains a cultivation thod; whoever can grasp its true aning may enter the academy for training."

"Divine Map?"

The crowd felt greatly shocked, not expecting the academy to break norms and bring out the Divine Map for this assessnt.

They understood from their studies that the Divine Map was originally the fundantal thod of the academy’s cultivation.

No one expected Xuri to produce such a divine object.

For a mont, everyone was stunned, gazing dazedly at Cao Qin.

"The circumstances for this selection are special; I will only stay for half a month. The map will henceforth hang at the entrance of the Daoist Hall; arrange for all disciples to pay respect to the Daoist Ancestor and, in the anti, observe the Divine Map."

Cao Qin instructed the disciple to roll up the scroll and place it back in the silk bag, speaking again: "Send soone to guard it; if anyone can watch it for more than sixty breaths, bring them to ."

"We will follow the directive."

Pei Zeqi and others bowed in agreent.

After leaving the main hall, Pei Zeqi and Gu Shengcang walked together to Gu Shengcang’s usual place of residence.

Upon entering the courtyard, Pei Zeqi’s face showed a hint of emotion.

"Who would have thought the Upper City Martial Academy would bring out such a divine object? This selection is certainly extraordinary." Pei Zeqi sighed, then voiced his confusion: "Ancestor, what is the cultivation thod contained in that Divine Map? Is it about the Aperture Opening?"

"Divine Map!" Gu Shengcang also sighed, a trace of helplessness in his eyes: "The Divine Map is naturally for cultivating the divine. I estimate that this selection involves not only the academy but also the intentions of the higher-level Fire Crow Sect."

"Fire Crow Sect!"

A sense of yearning erged in Pei Zeqi’s heart.

The legendary Fire Crow Sect is one of the overlords of this region, known throughout the southwest, with influence extending to countless cities, of which Baiyan City is quite insignificant.

However, at this level, they only knew from hearsay and had no actual contact channels.

Pei Zeqi returned to his senses and asked again: "Ancestor, the Aperture Opening realm is the condensation of energy and the impact of apertures. What benefits does the Divine Map have for cultivating the divine?"

"This step of the Aperture Opening is one that I have been unable to cross for a long ti. I haven’t touched the threshold for divinity." Gu Shengcang’s aged face revealed a sense of lancholy: "In the early explorations of the martial path, ancestors were divided into two factions: one focused on body refinent, neglecting the soul, and the other on soul cultivation, overlooking body refinent."

"Later, with higher realms, limitations naturally appeared. Like now, my body refinent is adequate, but I am lacking in soul cultivation and unable to find a way to break through the realm; it’s incredibly challenging."

"Subsequent martial artists realized that combining body refinent and soul cultivation is the way to advance to higher realms, hence cultivating both body and soul. Once the Aperture Opening realm is surpassed, all cultivation thods today incorporate both soul cultivation and body refinent. The further one progresses, the more important soul cultivation becos."

"Soul cultivation, in fact, refers to the realm of martial arts. Only after breaking through to the third realm of martial arts intent, the Formless realm, can one truly begin soul cultivation."

"I’ve heard one theory: cultivating the soul is building the spirit. When the spirit awakens, the soul unites. As for what specific level this corresponds to, I do not know."

In Gu Shengcang’s aged eyes appeared an endless yearning.
