After leaving Lingyun Valley, Yang Qi left Tianjianmen, changed his appearance, and came to Tianwumen.
Zhang Sanfeng learned of Yang Qi's arrival and sensed the fluctuation of his energy. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Brother Yang, your cultivation has improved again."
Yang Qi glanced at Wu Qian beside him, then slowly said, "Senior Zhang, I came here this time because I have something to ask you and Uncle Qian."
Zhang Sanfeng was startled, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Is it about your master?"
"Yes."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. This time when he returned to Tianwu Gate, he wanted to confirm Lin Qingyu's situation through Zhang Sanfeng. When Lin Qingyu and Wu Xingkong fought before, he only had some guesses, but he was not completely sure. After all, he was not a martial king cultivator, and his perception of Tao was far less acute than that of a martial king cultivator.
"Senior Zhang, our master is following the path of fusion?" Yang Qi looked at Zhang Sanfeng.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled bitterly and nodded when he heard this. He had sensed this when Lin Qingyu and Wu Xingkong were fighting. However, this involved Lin Qingyu's secret, and because of his admiration for Lin Qingyu, he did not say it directly.
"The way of fusion?"
Wu Qian, who was standing by, was stunned and frowned, "Young Master, is your master a high-level martial king?"
Cough~ cough~
Zhang Sanfeng and Yang Qi both coughed awkwardly upon hearing this, and then Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Master's cultivation is only an eight-star martial master."
Eight-star Martial Master
Wu Qian was startled, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Qi in disbelief, and said with difficulty, "Young Master, are you saying that the Eight-Star Martial Master is following the path of fusion?"
“Yes.” Yang Qi nodded slightly. He didn’t know much about the way of fusion. The inherited memory of Emperor Haoyang was only briefly mentioned.
“Young Master’s master is really…” Wu Qian smiled bitterly. For a moment, he didn’t know how to evaluate Master Yang Qi.
Although Wu Qian was not a cultivator, he knew that it was not strange for a cultivator to have many masters in his life. What he did not expect was that his master Yang Qi actually took the path of fusion at the Martial Honor Realm.
"Senior Zhang, Uncle Qian, I don't know much about the way of fusion. What exactly is the way of fusion?" Yang Qi looked at Wu Qian and the others.
The inherited memory of Emperor Haoyang only mentioned the way of fusion, and specifically stated that it was very difficult to break through the Martial King realm through the way of fusion. Therefore, in the training of Emperor Haoyang, the swordsmanship was the main focus, and the others were just dabbled in at most.
Wu Qian and Zhang Sanfeng looked at each other, and then Wu Qian spoke again, "Young Master, you should know that after the Martial King Realm is the Martial Emperor Realm, right?"
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He naturally knew this. This kind of realm division, not to mention that he was the descendant of Emperor Haoyang, even the ordinary martial arts masters in Zichen Continent knew it. After all, this was not a secret in the cultivation world.
Yang Qi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the way of fusion is related to the Martial Emperor Realm?"
“Young Master, you should know that to break through the Martial King realm, one needs to comprehend a kind of Tao. To say that one comprehends a kind of Tao is actually just to comprehend the level of the Tao. The Tao itself is the same as before, but the levels are also different.” Wu Qian said.
Yang Qi nodded secretly. The so-called enlightenment is just reaching the level of Tao. Just like the enlightenment of artistic conception, Tao is also divided into different levels. In simple terms, just like the space Tao, flying, moving, and space shuttle are different means of understanding the space Tao, and the same is true for other Tao.
"To break through the Martial King realm, one needs to comprehend a Tao, and to break through the Martial Emperor realm, one needs to comprehend at least one Tao to perfection." Zhang Sanfeng said in a deep voice.
A way to realize perfection
Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. He knew that the Martial Emperor realm was above the Martial King realm, but he didn't know that in order to break through to the Martial Emperor realm, he actually needed to comprehend a Tao to perfection!
You have to know that different people's understandings of the same Tao are not exactly the same. You can imagine how difficult it is to comprehend a Tao to perfection!
“But this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the way of fusion?” Yang Qi raised his eyebrows.
Wu Qian at the side said, "If you want to comprehend a Dao to perfection, one way is to follow the path of fusion."
"In fact, the easiest way to comprehend a Dao to perfection is to comprehend it on the basis of the Dao, which is equivalent to continuously growing branches and leaves on a tree trunk. Although it is difficult, at least there is a way ahead." Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Yang Qi before continuing, "But the way of fusion is to do the opposite, to fuse the tree trunk with the branches. One wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps!"
“So, even a practitioner at the Martial King Realm would not easily try to use the fusion method to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm!” Wu Qian said in a deep voice.
"Then Master..."
Yang Qi's face changed. He didn't even dare to try the Martial King Realm easily. However, Lin Qingyu was only at the Martial Honor Realm, and he actually took the path of fusion. It was conceivable how difficult it was!
“Your master has only broken through to the Martial King realm. The difficulty is not as great as that of a Martial King breaking through to a Martial Emperor. However, the difficulty is much greater than comprehending one Dao. He needs to comprehend the fusion path to the perfect level of artistic conception and integrate it perfectly! The difficulty will be doubled if one more Dao is integrated, and your master…” Zhang Sanfeng sighed lightly.
"The six paths that Master has taken!" Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly. The fusion of the six paths meant that the path Lin Qingyu took was theoretically six times more difficult than the normal Martial Honor Realm. But in reality, because of the life span limit of the Martial Honor Realm, his path was at least ten times more difficult than the path taken by the ordinary Martial Honor Realm!
"Can't we abandon the path of fusion and take the normal path of cultivation?" Yang Qi looked at Wu Qian and Zhang Sanfeng and said.
“If it had been discovered earlier, it might have been possible to abandon it. However, your master is now a high-level martial arts master, and the fusion of the six paths has been able to trigger the power of Tao. It cannot be changed anymore.” Zhang Sanfeng said helplessly.
In addition to this point, Zhang Sanfeng did not say one more thing. Lin Qingyu was able to comprehend all six paths to this level. If he wanted to take other paths, he might not have the talent in this area. After all, it was very difficult for a normal Martial Honor Realm practitioner to take one path, but Lin Qingyu took six paths, which was already appalling.
Lin Qingyu may have such high talents in other aspects, but his talents may be lower. After all, human talents are not infinite. For example, he originally had a very high talent in the Path of Fire, but found that there was little hope of breaking through the Martial King Realm in the Path of Fire, so he changed to the Path of Water. But in fact, his talent in the Path of Water is even lower! As a result, the Path of Water is even more of a dead end than the Path of Fire!
Lin Qingyu is facing this situation now. The path of fusion has little hope, but there is still a glimmer of hope. The other paths may very well be a dead end, and he can't go through them at all!
At this moment, Lin Qingyu can only bite the bullet and continue on the path of fusion. Once he succeeds, his hope of breaking through the Martial Emperor realm will be much greater! (To be continued)
