"Love That Topples Cities valued intent over moves, momentum over form. Thus, its power could be unleashed through any weapon, or even bare fists. Love for Seven Lifetimes, simplified from Love That Topples Cities, likewise emphasized intent over moves. Yet beyond intent, its many techniques for mobilizing essence, qi, and spirit—especially the technique of rousing the Qi and Blood throughout the body to greatly amplify one's life force—were the utmost priority."
"The opening stance sinks qi into the dantian and raises intent into the sea of consciousness, mobilizing one's primordial qi to stimulate the Qi and Blood into erupting as Blood Flame. But one must know that if Blood Flame is controlled properly and yin and yang remain balanced, it can injure the enemy without harming oneself. If one forcibly activates it while lacking primordial qi or Qi and Blood, one will only play with fire and burn oneself.
"Therefore, whether Love That Topples Cities or Love for Seven Lifetimes, both require a person with exceptionally vigorous and masculine Qi and Blood to unleash great power. If someone without such vigorous Qi and Blood cultivates it, over time, that person's Qi and Blood will be depleted, and their face will become skeletal."
Jiang Dali rapidly transformed the mnemonic verses of Love for Seven Lifetimes into his own understanding and analysis. He then recalled Grandmother's horrifying, skeletal appearance after using Love for Seven Lifetimes, and his understanding of the martial art deepened further.
For a martial arts powerhouse like him, even an "intent-based" ultimate skill like Love for Seven Lifetimes, which was exceedingly difficult to learn among Heavenly Human Ultimate Skills, was still not hard to comprehend. Besides, even if he could not comprehend it, he could spend a certain amount of Cultivation Points and Potential Points to aid his deductions.
