Within Huoyun Cave, as everyone entered seclusion, silence returned once more.
Only Hongyun and Wu remained in the great hall.
"This Martial Path is truly inconceivable," Hongyun remarked.
"Relying solely on the flesh, blood, and qi to carve out an inner heaven and earth."
"Replacing the Heavenly Heart with one's own heart—such a method is truly domineering."
The Great Dao of Laws involved understanding heaven and earth, analyzing heaven and earth, and ultimately controlling the rules that already existed within them.
The Martial Path, however, sought to turn oneself into a new heaven and earth, creating rules that belonged to oneself.
Wu merely looked at him calmly, his aura as steady as a mountain.

"The path of Laws emphasizes comprehending external rules, while the Martial Path gathers all great power into oneself. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses."
Hongyun smiled and said no more on the matter.
"Fellow cultivator Fuxi and the others have remained at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm for far too long."
"Their foundations are profound, their wills steadfast, and their understanding of the Great Dao far surpasses that of ordinary people."
"Now that they have received the Martial Path True Explanation passed down by fellow cultivator, although they may not achieve Dao in a single leap, they will certainly advance further."
Hongyun paused before continuing.
"Perhaps when they emerge from seclusion, Huoyun Cave will gain several more Martial Path Saints."
Wu shook his head slightly.
"Naturally, I hope so."
"But achieving Dao through the Martial Path is no easy matter."
"Compared to Proving Dao with Laws, it is even more difficult."
Wu raised a hand and lightly traced the air with his fingertip.
