Chapter 376 - 215: Above Divine Intent, Divine Yuan and Divine Skills_2
In addition, the Divine Origin embodiment possesses a fascinating feature: infused into an object, it can serve as a protective amulet for others.
Whenever danger arises, the Divine Origin embodiment will manifest itself, warding off danger and annihilating enemies.
One can also actively stimulate the Divine Origin embodiment.
However, while objects with Divine Origin embodiment do possess some level of consciousness and combat instincts, they don’t have real thinking ability or adaptability. Their actions depend entirely on their combat instincts.
The strength of the Divine incarnation is related to the amount of Divine Origin separated — the more Divine Origin is separated, the stronger the incarnation naturally is.
This is the mystery of the Divine Origin Realm.
Xu Yan looked excited. If he could break through to the Divine Origin Realm, he would be able to leave a Divine Origin embodiment that would protect his parents and family members.
With a Divine Origin embodiment, his family will be safe in the Inner Domain; no one could pose a threat to them.
After Li Xuan finished explaining the Divine Origin Realm Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, he looked at his excited disciple. He was also looking forward to Xu Yan comprehending the cultivation technique.
Thus, he would possess the Divine Yuan Power.
The profound nature of the Divine Origin embodiment was inspired by Li Xuan’s Thousand Martial Divine Shadow. The Thousand Martial Divine Shadow can be considered as a kind of clone.
However, it’s not a true clone, as it can only be utilized within a certain range of the original body.
Moreover, it cannot be stored inside an object to provide protection to others.
Li Xuan recalled the web novels he read in his previous life. Those from powerful forces liked to create clones as protective charms for their beloved successors.
Since he had created a martial arts cultivation technique, he could not leave out this ability; he must develop it.
The Three Realms of Heavenly Man didn’t seem to possess this capability.
This further highlights the strength and profoundness of his martial arts.
Since the subject of Divine Origin embodiment was mentioned, Li Xuan seriously asked, “Disciple, do you know why your Master doesn’t give you a protective clone?”
“Master fears that if this disciple relies on the protective clone, he may become reckless and dismiss dangers, losing a martial artist’s fundamental nature of being humble and prudent.
“You’re worried that I might act recklessly, knowingly courting danger and stirring up trouble with enemies stronger than myself without attempting to hide.
“You’re afraid I might become a greenhouse flower, blessed with talent but lacking martial arts training, and ultimately unable to go far.”
After being momentarily stunned, Xu Yan was deeply moved upon realizing the high hopes his master had for him and reverently responded.
Li Xuan was smiling, nodding in satisfaction.
What a good disciple!
He didn’t even need to make up excuses; his disciple had figured everything out on his own.
This was his prized disciple, if he had such a method, why would he hesitate to prepare it for his disciple?
It’s simply that he doesn’t have it!
“Hmm.”
Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, “The fact that you can understand your Master’s good intentions makes me very pleased.”
After teaching Xu Yan the Divine Origin Realm Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, Li Xuan did not immediately teach him the martial arts skill of the next realm, instead letting Xu Yan to absorb and digest the Divine Origin Realm’s techniques.
Xu Yan looked excited, pondering the Divine Origin Realm’s techniques. The Divine Intent State’s technique emerged in his mind and connected with that of the Divine Origin Realm. He seemed to have some insights.
However, he still fell short of fully comprehending the Divine Origin Realm’s technique.
“You have already comprehended the Divine Intent State Martial Arts Techniques, which forms the basis for comprehending the Divine Origin Realm’s techniques. Reflect on them carefully and you will naturally understand the Divine Origin Realm Martial Arts Techniques.”
Li Xuan didn’t speak until he felt that Xu Yan had adequately absorbed the material.
“Yes, Master!”
Xu Yan respectfully replied.
“Hmm, I will now teach you the martial arts technique above Divine Origin.”
Li Xuan affirmed.
“Thank you, Master!”
Xu Yan was incredibly excited. The Divine Origin Realm was already so powerful, so just how profound would the martial arts technique above it be?
“Above Divine Origin, it’s called Divine Skill!”
Li Xuan declared solemnly.
The realm above the Divine Origin Realm is the Divine Skill Realm!
Li Xuan looked at the Daoist Golden Book for feedback on the evaluation of the Divine Skill Martial Arts Technique.
Divine Skill Martial Arts Technique:
Cultivation Technique Completion: Above Average.
Realm-Connecting Degree: High.
Cultivation Difficulty: High.
Comprehension Difficulty: Above average.
He expended a great deal of effort, yet was never able to increase the proficiency level of the cultivation technique to a high degree.
However, considering that Xu Yan was even able to comprehend and practice cultivation techniques with exceedingly low assessments, cultivating above average-rated techniques would not be too difficult.
The only issue was that the comprehension would require more time.
“Later martial artists should all be grateful to Xu Yan. If not for him comprehending and perfecting the cultivation techniques, enabling their widespread practice, where would those who came after him learn these techniques?”
Li Xuan mused inwardly.
Although he was the Martial Ancestor, the true pioneer of martial arts was his senior disciple, Xu Yan!
“The Divine Skill Realm holders, they wield divine powers, have undying Primordial Spirits, and can abandon their physical bodies without dying…”
Li Xuan began to elaborate on the laws of the Divine Skill Realm in a low voice.
The Divine Skill Realm is where the Divine Yuan merges with the Divine Intent to be refined into the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, and the Divine Skills are then innate.
Martial Artists who break through to the Divine Skill Realm will acquire the Martial Arts Divine Skills, of which there are myriad, each one unique.
Upon reaching the Divine Skill Realm, you can already train the Martial Arts Divine Skills outside of the Primordial Spirit and Divine Skills that are formed.
You can convert your own martial arts cultivation technique into Divine Skills.
The Primordial Spirit can exist independently of the body and can even regenerate the physical body. As long as the Primordial Spirit is not extinguished, one will not die!
“The Primordial Spirit is true, taking the form of the body. When one thought of the Divine Skill manifests, the Heaven and Earth move. The mysteries of the Primordial Spirit cannot be explained in a few words. You have to comprehend it yourself, understand your own Primordial Spirit.”
“The strength of Divine Skills will become naturally clear to you once you comprehend them.”
“Divine Intent, Divine Yuan, and Divine Skills can also be referred to as the three realms of Divine Skills.”
Li Xuan said calmly, looking at Xu Yan who was deep in thought.
“Teacher, I understand. I will definitely take more time to comprehend and understand the subtlety of the cultivation technique.”
Xu Yan nodded seriously.
Divine Skill Realm!
Abandoning the physical body without perishing, the Primordial Spirit is undying, and Divine Skills emerge naturally.
Xu Yan thought of the Refining God Heavenly Man in the Three States of Heaven and Man.
The strength of the Refining God Heavenly Man is briefly introduced in the Tomb of the Heavenly Man. Although it is not detailed, one can understand the approximate strength of the Refining God Heavenly Man.
“The Refining God Heavenly Man just refines the Divine Soul, without any mention of Divine Skills, and the Divine Soul of the Refining God Heavenly Man seems quite weak and fragile.”
In the Tomb of the Heavenly Man, the introduction to the Three States of the Heavenly Man states that the true Heavenly Man with strong strength is the Refining God Heavenly Man!
The Lesser and the Greater Heavenly Man seem to only be the foundation of the Heavenly Man Realm, preparations for achieving the Refining God Heavenly Man.
The Divine Skill Realm is where one condenses and transforms into the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit. The strength of the Primordial Spirit is not comparable to the Divine Soul of the Refining God Heavenly Man.
After all, the Primordial Spirit is born from the transformation of the Divine Yuan and the Divine Intent. The Divine Yuan can exist independently from the body and can be refined into a body.
Naturally, the Primordial Spirit is stronger!
The Divine Soul of the Refining God Heavenly Man does not possess such robust power.
“If I break through to the Divine Origin Realm, I should be able to kill the Refining God Heavenly Man!”
Xu Yan murmured in his heart.
“The Divine Skill Realm, the Martial Arts Divine Skill? For my sword dao, I should also cultivate the Sword Dao Divine Skill. I wonder if the Heart Sword Realm, which can turn everything into a sword, can be transformed into a Divine Skill?
“Life-Death Sword Wheel, my comprehension is still insufficient. This sword dao should be the foundation of the Sword Dao Divine Skill!”
Xu Yan gradually understood.
Once Li Xuan had passed on the Martial Dao’s techniques of the Divine Intent Realm and above to Xu Yan, he turned and left.
Whether it’s the Divine Origin Realm or the Divine Skill Realm, he has given careful thought to both, linking them together in a seamless continuity.
The Three States of Heaven and Man, especially the final state of Refining God Heavenly Man, involve cultivating a Divine Soul.
Their power is absolutely not weak.
However, Divine Skills are stronger.
After all, the cultivation of the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit is stronger than the Divine Soul cultivated by the Refining God Heavenly Man.
“Starting from the Divine Intent State, I’ve gradually moved away from the martial arts of Taicang. The strength of the Divine Skill Realm far surpasses that of the Refining God Heavenly Man. Who can resist the emergence of Divine Skills?”
A smile graced Li Xuan’s face.
In martial arts cultivation, it remains inevitable to deal with aspects like the Primordial Spirit and the Divine Soul, resulting in the paths converging. However, the gap between the same cultivation of Divine Soul and Primordial Spirit still remains large.
“Infusing the intent of Heaven and Earth into oneself and refining it into the base of the Primordial Spirit is much stronger than feeling and gathering the Divine in oneself, using one’s own Divine as the base.”
“After the Heavenly Man in Taicang Martial Dao, what realm is there?”
Li Xuan knew that the martial arts of this world were not referred to as the Inner Realm Martial Arts or the Ling Domain Martial Arts, but the Tai Cang Martial Dao.
He possessed the Book of Tai Cang, which recorded the Heaven and Earth Laws of Tai Cang, and with the assistance of the Daoist Golden Book, the martial arts he created naturally far surpassed the Tai Cang Martial Dao.
