At first, Shi Lan had tried to derive the Martial Dao simply because she had sensed that it could advance further.
Now that she had started over from the beginning, she had made a different discovery. She had once thought that the Martial Dao of the Lingyang Realm shared common ground with the Heavenly Azure Spirit Profound Scripture, but that was not the case.
What shared common ground with the Heavenly Azure Spirit Profound Scripture was not the Martial Dao of the Lingyang Realm, but the Jade Clarity Creation Art.
She had instinctively assumed that what she cultivated was the Martial Dao of the Lingyang Realm, and so had overlooked this point. Even the Tempered Jade Art she had first cultivated differed from the Martial Dao of the Lingyang Realm in some subtle ways at its core.

Within the Imperial Palace stood the Imperial Martial Pavilion, which contained nearly nine-tenths of the martial arts manuals from the Shenzhou Vast Land, including the techniques of the various emperors and even the Great Emperors. For Shi Lan, they were undoubtedly the finest nourishment.
The original Martial Dao of the Lingyang Realm had grown out of the battle arts of the Divine Race. Later, the various Great Emperors of the human race had improved it in turn, passing their techniques down among the hundred schools. Only then had it reached its present flourishing state. It could be said to embody the painstaking efforts of sages from every age.
Shi Lan spent three years in the Imperial Martial Pavilion, reading every scripture it held. She did not even overlook the most basic boxing manuals.
