I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Not even one of them escaped!

If four half-step Heavenly Men weren’t faced with a true Martial Arts Heavenly Man, it would be impossible for none of them to get away!

Even if he took action, it would be impossible to kill all four half-step Heavenly Men, not to mention the dozens of Great Grandmasters within.

Only a true Martial Arts Heavenly Man could have such terrifying power!

The figure in a red robe with a green face said gravely, “Inner Domain, why would there be a Martial Arts Heavenly Man? The rumored Demon Lord is said to have emerged from the Gate of Lingyu. As the true confidant of the Demon Lord, you understand the secrets better than anyone else.”

The Demon Child was silent.

It was as if he had returned to his childhood, when he went to the mountains to collect herbs and saw a man covered in blood, lying on the ground, on the brink of death.

He forcibly crushed a rare Spiritual Medicine he had found and poured it into the man’s mouth, then called for his parents to save the man.

This act altered the course of his life.

The man taught him Martial Arts and took him under his wing, slaughtering Martial Artists left and right to establish the Demon Sect. Later, when the man mysteriously disappeared, he returned to his small mountain village.

“Demon Child, don’t you want to become a true Martial Arts Heavenly Man? Considering that the Demon Lord has already disappeared, either by entering the Gate of the Ling Domain or by dying, don’t you have any ideas?”

“Are you truly content to die of old age in this mountain village?”

The figure in the red robe with a green face said gravely.

The Demon Child looked up, sighed, and said, “If he had returned to the Gate of the Ling Domain, he would have taken me with him. Since there is a Martial Arts Heavenly Man in the Inner Domain…”

The figure in a red robe with a green face understood the Demon Child’s drift instantly: if there truly was a Martial Arts Heavenly Man on Canglan Island, could the Demon Lord’s disappearance be connected to them?

“With our strength, we are unable to contend with a Martial Arts Heavenly Man. Within the Inner Domain, the peak Great Grandmasters are already at the pinnacle of martial arts, who doesn’t want to advance further?”

“You, Hong Jue, know exactly how you took that step forward. You conquered the challenges with the spiritual will of the Five-grade Stone Ghost Grass.” “But what if there were future possibilities beyond the Great Grandmasters that have been monopolized by others? What do you think the world’s Great Grandmasters would do if they found out?”

The Demon Child said with a piercing gaze.

The figure in a red robe with a green face drew a deep breath and said gravely, “In the end, we must take this step. Other than this, there are no other methods. Let’s use the world’s Martial Artists in the Inner Domain to pressure that Martial Arts Heavenly Man.”

“I will make my move. Within the Inner Domain, the other half-step Heavenly Men will also make their move, especially those old geezers whose lives are already hanging by a thread.”

The Demon Child lowered his head and continued sculpting his statue.

The figure in a red robe with a green face turned to leave, “I await your order, Demon Child!”

Only when the figure in a red robe with a green face had left did the Demon Child stop his carving. His gaze was deep, and in his mind emerged the figure of one who was once full of energy, looking contemptuously upon the world. “Uncle Blood Spirit, did you die at his hands? You said you were a Refining God Heavenly Man, the existence at the pinnacle of heavenly men, and you promised to take me into the Gate of the Ling Domain with you.”

No one in this Inner Domain understands the Demon Lord better than him.

The forces of the green-faced man and some other powerful figures, including the Demon Child, were brewing a storm. Their story of gathering the world’s Great Grandmasters to pressure Canglan Island was unknown to Li Xuan.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

With his current strength, even if the world’s Great Grandmasters attacked, what could they do?

Atop a peak on Canglan Island.

Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the vast river of Cang, with Xu Yan respectfully standing beside him.

After some time of refining, his Sudden Wind Sword Intent has been perfected. Xu Yan’s Sword Dao has also improved, and he is not far from achieving the perfect understanding of the Sword Heart.

Furthermore, his comprehension of the Tongxuan Realm was getting deeper. He wasn’t far from reaching the initial success of Tongxuan Realm.

“Apprentice, you’ve already reached the Tongxuan Realm. Do you have any insight into what lies beyond Tongxuan?”

Li Xuan asked.

Today, he was going to teach Xu Yan the martial arts of the fourth state, the martial arts law above the Tongxuan state.

“Master, above the Great Grandmaster, there is the Martial Arts Heavenly Man. As the Martial Arts Heavenly Man cultivates mental consciousness, does the state above the Tongxuan also do the same?”

Xu Yan respectfully replied.

“The three realms of martial arts, Qi-blood, Innate, and Tongxuan, are all about the cultivation of the body’s mysteries. With a flesh and blood body, one can control the power of Tongxuan.

“The fourth realm of martial arts cultivates the mysteries beyond the human body. It cultivates the Divine Intent of martial arts!”

Li Xuan said solemnly.

How to cultivate and connect after reaching the fourth realm of Martial Arts, Tongxuan Realm, was something Li Xuan contemplated after Meng Chong nearly died at the hands of “Senior Wu,” realizing that the latter’s body was taken over.

Li Xuan formed a concept and was triggered, leading him to begin creating the cultivation method for the fourth realm of Martial Arts.

As guessed, above the Great Grandmaster, they cultivate Divine Soul!

Only those with a Divine Soul have the power to take over others.

Whether it’s the lord of Yinlou Pavilion or a group of people with green faces, they were all half-step Heavenly People and had not condensed the Divine Soul. They had only condensed a robust spiritual body but had not yet transformed it into a Divine Soul.

Even so, by referring to the half-step Heavenly People, Li Xuan could roughly derive that the spiritual body condensed by Martial Arts Heavenly People, or called the Divine Soul, is rather vague and not strong enough.

The cultivation of the Divine Soul also has variations in strength.

After reaching Tongxuan Realm, Li Xuan confirmed his cultivation direction, which is to cultivate the Divine Intent of Martial Arts. It’s a crucial realm where he realized that above the Great Grandmaster, they might be cultivating Divine Soul.

To ensure that the Martial Arts he crafted is always stronger, Li Xuan racked his brains to create profound and consistent methods that could seamlessly interconnect with Tongxuan Realm.

After successively killing the half-step Heavenly Persons, Li Xuan gained enormous confidence.

“Martial Arts Divine Intent?”

Xu Yan’s heart was surging with excitement. He was fully focused, fearing he might miss even the slightest detail.

Li Xuan solemnly said: “The cultivation begins with opening the Niwan Palace, nurturing the Soul Pedestal, and condensing the Divine Intent; it forms the basis of the Primordial Spirit…”

The fourth realm of Martial Arts, the Divine Intent State!

The cultivation of the Divine Intent State involves opening the Niwan Palace, nurturing the Soul Pedestal, and condensing the Martial Arts Divine Intent on top of the Soul Pedestal.

After careful deliberation, Li Xuan came up with this theoretical framework. Initially, he worried that the Martial Arts Divine Intent condensed in the Divine Intent State might not be strong enough.

However, after meeting half-step Heavenly Persons, he realized the Divine Intent State continued to maintain its strong advantage.

Li Xuan continued explaining the Divine Intent State, “The form of Divine Intent is like my genuine self, perceiving the workings of the universe on the Soul Pedestal, condensing the intention of the universe into my intention, refining the form of Divine Intent, this forms the basis of the Primordial Spirit…”

After the lecture, Li Xuan pointed to the location of the Niwan Palace and said, “The fourth realm of Martial Arts involves opening the Niwan Palace and nurturing the Soul Pedestal. Without opening the Niwan Palace, the soul has nothing to perceive, and the Soul Pedestal has nowhere to dwell – naturally, everything else is just empty talk.”

“Therefore, the first priority is to open the Niwan Palace, nurture the Soul Pedestal, and condense Divine Intent, resembling the true self.

“Condense the intention of the universe into my intention; Refine the form of the universe into Divine Form; My intention is the intention of the universe, My form is the form of the universe.

“Where the Divine Intent goes, is like the will of the universe, nobody can defy the will of the universe!”

Xu Yan was engrossed in listening, his mind was so immersed that he muttered, “The universe’s intention is my intention, the universe’s form is my form; my Divine Intent is like the intention of the universe, nobody can defy the universe’s intention!”

In that moment, he seemed to see his Divine Intent overwhelming everything, like the universe’s intention descending, irresistible and inviolable!

Anyone who opposes will be destroyed, any violator will be punished, all within a thought!

How powerful is that?

Martial Arts Heavenly People only use spiritual pressure to suppress the consciousness of Martial Artists, while Martial Arts Divine Intent is like the intention of the universe.

Whoever defies the universe’s intention can be punished by a single thought! Under the Divine Intent, everyone is as weak as an ant!

Xu Yan was shocked. He felt that even if he could fully master the Tongxuan Realm, it would be difficult to resist and almost impossible to combat a Martial Artist in the Divine Intent State.

Unless his Sword Intent had also grown powerful enough to confront Martial Arts Divine Intent!

However, what if the opponent had also comprehended Sword Intent?

How strong would the Sword Intent controlled by a Martial Artist in the Divine Intent State be?

Xu Yan realized that the Divine Intent State is a watershed, a massive transformation and leap, hence no matter how strong the Tongxuan Realm is, it can’t resist the Divine Intent State.

Tongxuan conforms to the nature’s spiritual energy and contains the mysteries of the universe, but can it resist the will of the universe?

No!

Tongxuan might overthrow Martial Arts Heavenly People but is almost powerless against Martial Artists in the Divine Intent State.

At this moment, Xu Yan suddenly felt that Martial Arts Heavenly People were so weak that it undermined the honor of the term “Heavenly People.”

Sword Intent emerged around Xu Yan, as if wanting to merge with the universe, as if it would represent the universe’s intention, and mountains and rivers appeared as if to form the shape of the entire universe.

In his mind, bright ideas surged up, and the Martial Arts methods of the Divine Intent State emerged one by one – the more he contemplated, the more he felt their profound mysteries.

The more he felt their unparalleled strength.

My intention is the intention of the universe, my form is the form of the universe!
