Although changing the speed of time can make up for the problem of insufficient time for cultivation, it is not without flaws. Because the speed of time is changed, the Tao becomes unstable and it is more difficult to comprehend it. The greater the change in the speed of time, the more difficult it is to comprehend the Tao.
Because the change in the speed of time still affects oneself, and the difficulty of enlightenment increases, it means that when the speed of time is changed, the improvement of realm becomes half the result with twice the effort, so changing the speed of time is almost never used to improve the realm.
The practice of martial arts does not belong to the realm, so it can naturally be used to change the flow of time.
The old man's eyes fell on Yang Qi, and he said slowly, "Remember, you only have three years. You are the first practitioner of the Earth lineage to accept the master's assessment. Don't let me and the master down."
Yang Qi nodded solemnly. Although three years seemed like a long time, since Emperor Wu Shi had set a three-year deadline, it meant that success in cultivation would definitely not be achieved overnight.
The nameless body-refining technique was left for nine days by the Wu Shi Emperor. It was not until the eighth day that Yang Qi realized the secret of cultivation and finally succeeded in cultivation. However, the technique on the stone wall in front of him took three years, which shows how difficult it is to succeed in cultivation!
"Just concentrate on your practice, I won't bother you anymore."
The old man smiled calmly, and then disappeared from the hall.
"What a mysterious place. I can't feel the flow of time here at all. It's a hundred times slower than the outside world." Yang Qi sensed the surroundings with his mind and said in amazement.
Here, Yang Qi felt that there was almost no difference from the outside world. The main reason was that his realm was too low. Time was more profound and mysterious than space. Only the strong people at the level of Martial King could barely touch it. He was now too far away from the level of Martial King.
Phew~
Taking a deep breath, Yang Qi sat cross-legged in front of the stone wall and began to read the words on it.
What was recorded on the stone wall was the subsequent practice method of the nameless body-refining technique, but it was more profound and obscure, and seemed to be even greater than the difference between the Yuan Sword Art and the Yuan Sword Classic. Even with the foundation of the three-fold perfect nameless body-refining technique, he could only understand about four or five percent of the technique recorded on the stone wall.
“It’s so profound. I have the inherited memory of Emperor Haoyang. Although I have only opened the inherited memory of the Martial Honored level, I have also covered some advanced levels. But I can’t even fully understand the exercises?” Looking at the words on the stone wall, Yang Qi’s face showed a touch of disbelief.
How can you practice if you can’t even understand it
The technique on the stone wall is even more subversive than the nameless body-refining technique, and is completely different from ordinary body-refining techniques. Fortunately, Yang Qi knows that this body-refining technique cannot be fake, and with some inherited memories of Emperor Haoyang, he can understand 40% to 50%. For an ordinary martial arts master, if he can understand 20% to 30%, he would be considered a sharp thinker with amazing comprehension.
"And the body-refining techniques recorded on the stone wall don't seem to be complete?"
A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. The body-refining technique recorded on the stone wall should be only a part of it. This is somewhat similar to the nameless body-refining technique he practiced before. When Yang Qi first accepted the test, the nameless body-refining technique he obtained was only the first level of practice. It was not until Yang Qi passed the test and became the registered disciple of the Wu Shi Great Emperor that he obtained the second and third levels of practice.
Obviously, the test for being a direct disciple is the same. If you want to obtain the subsequent body-refining techniques, you must become a direct disciple of Emperor Wu Shi!
“If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. It will not be too late to practice this body-refining technique after three years of understanding its contents.” Yang Qi did not rush to try to practice, but began to look at the practice method recorded on the stone wall over and over again, wanting to understand it thoroughly before practicing.
Time passed. For half a month, Yang Qi had been just reading the cultivation methods written on the stone wall. He had read the stone wall with less than a thousand words countless times. Every character was like a brand, firmly imprinted in his mind and the depths of his soul.
And with half a month of continuous study, some unclear points were finally understood by combining them with the nameless body refining technique, the inherited memories of Emperor Haoyang, and the practice method of the Xuanyu Demon Body.
That’s right, only most of it. Even though Yang Qi continued to study and spent half a month, he only understood most of the cultivation methods recorded on the stone wall and still could not fully understand them.
“Is this the limit?”
Yang Qi sighed. He had read it dozens of times recently, but had gained nothing. This made him realize that he had reached a limit in his understanding of the body-refining techniques recorded on the stone wall. Continuing to study it would not yield any results.
“It seems that I can only understand it through practice.” Yang Qi said helplessly.
There would be no gain from continuing to study, so Yang Qi could only put aside his plan to study temporarily and start practicing, intending to understand the skills recorded on the stone wall through practice.
"fail!"
As soon as he tried to practice, Yang Qi failed. He compared the practice method with the records on the stone wall again, and continued to deduce and try.
In this way, after who knows how much time had passed and after how many times he had failed, Yang Qi finally managed to thoroughly understand the body-refining techniques recorded on the stone wall.
"It took you half a year to understand this technique?"
Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. It took him half a year to understand only one technique. You should know that because of his powerful soul, his comprehension and understanding were far superior to those of ordinary practitioners. But even so, it took him half a year to understand the technique recorded on the stone wall.
"Three years is not too long, but too short!"
Yang Qi sighed. Originally, he thought that within three years, the chances of successful cultivation were great. But now it seemed that the three years left by Emperor Wu Shi were extremely tight.
Merely understanding is still a long way from successful practice.
“Strictly speaking, the triple unnamed body-refining technique is not the body-refining technique recorded on the stone wall. The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to that between the Yuan Sword Art and the Yuan Sword Classic. The triple unnamed body-refining technique is just an introduction.” After understanding the body-refining technique recorded on the stone wall, Yang Qi also understood the relationship between the triple body-refining technique he had practiced before and the technique recorded on the stone wall in front of him.
Strictly speaking, the connection between the two is not as simple as a relationship of precedence and follow-up. The skills recorded on the stone wall are more advanced than the triple-level unnamed body-refining skills that Yang Qi practiced before.
But if there is no third level perfection of the nameless body-refining technique as an introduction, even if you get the body-refining technique in front of you, you will not be able to practice it at all.
"I don't know who created this body-building technique." Yang Qi muttered to himself.
He had a vague intuition that such a profound and mysterious body-refining technique could not be created by the Great Emperor Wu Shi. The practitioner who could create this technique must have reached an incredible level of understanding of the soul and the body. (To be continued)
