I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?
Chapter Summary
"The Fifth Door of Martial Arts was finally completed in its entirety, whether it was the theoretical framework, the Martial Arts Techniques, or even the fusion of Imperishable Qi into a part of the Divine Soul, he had written it all. Li Xuan watched Jiang Buping and thought to himself, truly a child of fortune, tainted with Imperishable Qi, and only slightly listless, not easy to focus his mind, that's all; he wasn't devoid of Spiritual Wisdom, nor was he muddleheaded. "Tainted with the Imperis...
Li Xuan sat leisurely in his chair, eyes slightly squinted, appearing to be enjoying a comfortable nap, yet his mind was entirely focused on the Daoist Golden Book.
"Finally, it's completed.
"The Fifth Door of Martial Arts was finally completed in its entirety, whether it was the theoretical framework, the Martial Arts Techniques, or even the fusion of Imperishable Qi into a part of the Divine Soul, he had written it all.
Next, it all depended on Jiang Buping himself.
"Jiang Buping, this lad, once a prodigy turned into trash, and then discarded; born with a Divine Soul and possessing the aura of a child of fortune, should have no problem comprehending and cultivating it.
"Li Xuan still had quite a bit of confidence in Jiang Buping.
Jiang Buping shook his head, awakening once again from a deep sleep, and this time he breathed a sigh of relief, no longer plagued by those unimaginable visions.
However, he was immediately taken aback.
Where was he?
Had someone rescued him?
He got up listlessly.
"You're awake.
"Shi'er appeared in front of him.
"Thank you, big brother, for rescuing me.
"Jiang Buping expressed his gratitude.
"It wasn't me who saved you, come with me.
"Shi'er led Jiang Buping to where Li Xuan was.
Xu Yan, Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu, and Fang Hao, upon hearing that Jiang Buping was awake, all came over out of curiosity.
Jiang Buping was somewhat stunned, but gratefully said, "Jiang Buping, thank you all for saving my life!
""The discarded child of Taikun, Jiang Buping?
"Feng Yan muttered to himself, looking quite surprised.
Jiang Buping's mouth twitched, and only then did he notice Feng Yan, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
Suddenly, he realized that these people, including Feng Yan, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, all stood respectfully beneath the young man.
Li Xuan watched Jiang Buping and thought to himself, truly a child of fortune, tainted with Imperishable Qi, and only slightly listless, not easy to focus his mind, that's all; he wasn't devoid of Spiritual Wisdom, nor was he muddleheaded.
Today, he was going to take a disciple, and outsiders were not needed anymore.
So he looked at Feng Yan, and Feng Yan tactfully withdrew.
In the courtyard, only Xu Yan was a disciple, and Shi'er, Zhou Ying, Meng Shushu, and the Red Cat were not outsiders.
Xie Lingfeng was in seclusion, enduring hard cultivation and had not yet come out.
Xie Tianheng was comprehending Divine Skills, and was thus not there.
"Jiang Buping.
"Li Xuan spoke.
"Senior, it's me!
"Jiang Buping forced himself to become more energetic as he responded.
"You were born with a Divine Soul, you're quite gifted; but you've been tainted with Imperishable Qi, causing your Divine Soul to become heavy, often leaving you listless and unable to concentrate your consciousness.
"Tainted with the Imperishable Qi, yet you didn't lose your Spiritual Wisdom or become muddleheaded, which shows your Divine Soul is extraordinary," Li Xuan said, pronouncing each word clearly.
Jiang Buping was startled.
The fact he was born with a Divine Soul was known only to his mother and himself, and since his mother had long passed away, no one in this world knew about it.
Had this senior seen through it with just one glance?
How could that be possible?
Whether a Divine Soul is natural or not cannot be detected by others once one breaks through to the Divine Refinement Realm and condenses the Divine Soul.
Back when he was ambushed and tainted with the Imperishable Qi, he pretended to be muddleheaded and lost his Spiritual Wisdom.
The Jiang Clan had an Immortal Heavenly Venerable who investigated his Divine Soul and noticed nothing.
Otherwise, how could he have managed to successfully bluff his way out and escape from the Taikun Realm?
"Senior, how did you know I have a natural Divine Soul?
"Jiang Buping took a deep breath and asked.
What's meant to be, will be; what's not, will pass.
He decided to frankly admit it.
"Nothing can escape my eyes.
"Li Xuan said with a mysterious smile.
This was his preparation for passing on the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path.
"You have an exceptional gift and a remarkable will; your Divine Soul, tainted with Imperishable Qi, is both a calamity and an opportunity.
I have a Martial Art that can let you be reborn from the ashes, surpass your peak, and wash away the unfairness in your heart.
Are you willing to take me as your master?
" Li Xuan asked earnestly.
Jiang Buping was stunned.
This senior wanted to take him as a disciple?
Tainted with Imperishable Qi, was it both a calamity and a chance?
Could the senior resolve the effects of the Imperishable Qi?
```No matter what, this is an opportunity.
It is an opportunity for him to rise again, and if there is a chance to ascend once more, how could he be willing to sink into oblivion?
Alas, his Divine Soul is tainted with Imperishable Qi, which is an unsolvable issue.
He is fortunate not to have lost his Spiritual Wisdom, not to have become muddle-headed, so how dare he hope for recovery?
Now, the opportunity to return to the pinnacle has appeared!
Jiang Buping knelt down with a plop, respectfully kowtowing and saying, "Disciple Jiang Buping, greets Master!
""Hmm, rise.
"Li Xuan nodded.
Jiang Buping stood up excitedly and asked, "Master, is it really possible to resolve the Imperishable Qi contaminating my Divine Soul?
""It depends on you, if you can comprehend, then you can resolve it.
"Li Xuan did not assert a certain outcome.
Looking at Xu Yan and the other three disciples, he said, "This is your Eldest Senior Brother Xu Yan, the Second Senior Brother Meng Chong, Third Senior Sister Su Lingxiu, and Fourth Senior Brother Fang Hao.
""Jiang Buping pays respect to Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother...
"Jiang Buping said respectfully as he saluted.
"Fifth Junior Brother is too courteous!
"Xu Yan said with a smile.
Jiang Buping, with a Divine Soul bestowed by nature, no wonder Master had the idea to take in another disciple.
After getting familiar with his fellow disciples, Jiang Buping looked at his Master full of anticipation.
"Your teacher here has a Martial Arts Technique called Extreme Soul Martial Arts...
Given your naturally bestowed Divine Soul, it suits you perfectly.
This technique, as its name suggests, focuses on the word 'extreme'.
"Those who practice Extreme Soul focus on the soul, treat the body as a furnace, and all cultivation is centered upon the Divine Soul, aiming to refine the path of the Divine Soul to the utmost limit.
"For an Extreme Soul Warrior, the physical body becomes insignificant, as they rely on the soul as their substance and foundation, and are not adrift like duckweed without a physical body even if their physical form no longer exists.
"Nor will they need to reassemble a new body or take over another life when their flesh perishes.
"For Extreme Soul Warriors, the body is merely a crucible for refining the Extreme Soul, and it is not a necessity for the crucible to be a body of flesh and blood...
"Li Xuan expounded the theory of Extreme Soul Martial Arts as the Fifth Door of Martial Arts.
Extreme Soul Martial Arts!
Focusing on the soul as the essence and foundation, it is a way of Martial Arts taken to the extreme, which can also be seen as a method of the ultimate path.
Jiang Buping was excited and listened respectfully, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
The more he heard, the more exhilarated he became.
The Extreme Soul Martial Arts was just right for him to practice.
If he had started with it from the beginning, his strength now might not have been weaker than that of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
Xu Yan and the others listened too, especially Xu Yan, who pondered thoughtfully.
While Extreme Soul Martial Arts might not suit his own practice, he could incorporate some of its elements into his own techniques.
Meng Chong was also contemplative.
He practiced Physical Body Martial Arts, which is the ultimate in physical form, while Extreme Soul Martial Arts is the ultimate concerning the Divine Soul or Primordial Spirit.
Indeed, these are two ultimate forms of Martial Arts.
After listening to Master's explanation of Extreme Soul Martial Arts, Xu Yan and the other three understood why Master wanted to take Jiang Buping as a disciple; he was truly too suitable for this Martial Arts.
As Li Xuan lectured on the theory of Extreme Soul Martial Arts, he too quietly anticipated what feedback he could get once Jiang Buping succeeded in his practice.
Transformation of the Primordial Spirit?
His Primordial Spirit is now very strong and likely not much weaker than his physical body.
If it were to transform again, how powerful could it become?
Fortunately, he also designed a Physical Body Martial Arts Technique, which also strives for the ultimate body.
Once Meng Chong comprehends it, his own strength will see a significant increase.
"Whether it's Physical Body Martial Arts, Alchemical Medical Martial Arts, Extreme Soul Martial Arts, or Qimen Martial Art, they are all based on Pure Martial Arts.
The strength of Pure Martial Arts is the foundation that unleashes their greatest power.
"Li Xuan marveled internally.
Moreover, Xu Yan, the pioneer of his Martial Arts, would certainly draw what he needed from Extreme Soul Martial Arts to further enhance and purify his Pure Martial Arts, making it ever more potent!
The Daoist Golden Book gave the following information about Extreme Soul Martial Arts:Extreme Soul Martial Arts:Technique Completion Degree: Above average.
Comprehension Difficulty: High.
Training Difficulty: High.
The main reason for the high training difficulty is because, for Jiang Buping to succeed in entering the ranks, he must resolve the Imperishable Qi on his Divine Soul.
Otherwise, with Jiang Buping's naturally bestowed Divine Soul, the training difficulty would not be rated as high.
"...
Extreme Soul Martial Arts focuses on cultivating an Imperishable Spirit Soul.
Only by cultivating an Imperishable Spirit Soul can the true power of Extreme Soul Martial Arts be revealed.
"And the cultivation of an Imperishable Spirit Soul usually requires step-by-step practice, enduring several Extreme Soul transformations, which may involve some suffering along the way.
"Because of these reasons, Extreme Soul Martial Arts is difficult to cultivate, not something ordinary people can practice; it requires tremendous willpower.
"Whereas your Divine Soul has been contaminated with Imperishable Qi, it is actually an opportunity.
If you can fully integrate the Imperishable Qi into your Divine Soul, making it a part of it, your Divine Soul will directly transform into an Imperishable Spirit Soul.
"Directly bypassing the long and painful cultivation process, achieving it in one step, and becoming a true Extreme Soul Warrior.
However, the prerequisite is that you can successfully resolve the Imperishable Qi.
"In the end, Li Xuan looked gravely at Jiang Buping and said.
