"No wonder Martial Saint Jiang was able to cultivate to such a level in just three years. Such a advancement can no longer be described by the words 'talent' and 'fortuitous opportunity.' It's simply like an immortal descending to earth, or an old monster being reborn."
Wang Yan looked deeply at Jiang Shu and said with emotion.
He could naturally tell that although Jiang Shu said that genes and Mecha were incredibly powerful and a shortcut to success, he was not entirely convinced.
But his inner conviction in martial arts is as firm as an ancient rock, unwavering.
"As you've probably noticed, the Great Dream Sleep Dan Art is a traditional Meditation Method from the Xia Kingdom. However, the upper limit of this type of Meditation Method is too low; even Samadhi state of deep meditation requires a stroke of fortuitous opportunity, and there's only a slim chance of success. Now, I will teach you the complete version of the Crystal Meditation Method after I have deciphered it. Although this method is basic, it is a true cultivation method that can lead to a state of Constant Samadhi meditation."
"Although I am not qualified to practice the fetal Embryonic Breathing, I can still deduce from this method just how powerful the Fetal Breathing Realm is."
Having already practiced the " Crystal Meditation Method," Wang Yan had naturally reached the level of Samadhi state.
With a strong mind, one can transmit information with a single thought.
Jiang Shu received the message instantly.
The original text of " Crystal Meditation Method " is available.
There are three versions of the text after deciphering.
There are some annotations added by Wang Yan.
After breaking free from the Mystery of the Womb, his mind became as pure as crystal during his martial arts practice. He had no distracting thoughts and could easily calm down and enter Deep Sleep.
After carefully reading " Crystal Meditation Method ".
Like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.
The Panel updates immediately.
Proficiency continues to increase at a visible rate.
Crystal Meditation Method: Beginner... Minor Success (1/1000)
The closed eyes slowly opened.
With a slight flutter of her eyelashes, her heart became as clear as crystal, her mind was filled with a clear blue sky, free from all distracting thoughts.
Compared to " The Great Dream Sleep Dan Art ", " Crystal Meditation Method " is clearly a step above, with the entry point being the Third Order of Deep Sleep.
Xiao Cheng even Samadhi meditative state immediately.
" Mind Cultivation in the Cosmos is about developing the brain, thereby increasing the body's potential. The brain is the root of a tree, and vitality is the trunk. Only when the roots are firmly planted in the ground will the trunk grow stronger and stronger. Why does our martial arts cultivation have an end? The fundamental reason is that we only study the physical body and cannot develop the brain. Only by reaching the Sincerest Path and being able to foresee the future can we be said to have touched upon the development of the brain."
Wang Yan's words hit the nail on the head: he had already entered the Gang Jin, and his martial arts talent was already rare in a century.
His understanding of martial arts and the mind surpasses that of countless sages and people today.
The Gang Jin and Shattering the Void, and the Seeing the Divine and Indestructible, seems to be only one step.
In reality, this step is what distinguishes humans from gods.
Just like ordinary martial arts, no matter how much you cultivate them, they can never compare to supernatural powers.
The same applies to physical cultivation.
Not to mention, the even more mysterious and Sincerest Path can be known in the future.
Therefore, he entered the world Xia Kingdom, solely to obtain firsthand information on Mind Cultivation Method and seek a breakthrough opportunity.
First, advance to the Fetal Breathing Realm, and use this to nourish your martial arts, reaching the highest realm of body and spirit in martial arts legends.
"Martial arts may have an end, but Mind Cultivation has no end. The mind is like the Cosmos; the Cosmos is infinitely vast, and so is the mind. The Xia Kingdom has been planning for so long, and it has finally reached the final stage. The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm of various small countries are being taken over. Although the ruins of these ordinary Heaven and Earth Secret Realm do not contain any rare treasures, the written records inside can help us decipher various descriptions of the Fetal Breathing Realm more quickly."
"Perhaps, it won't be long before Xia Kingdom can fully understand the cultivation of Embryonic Breathing, and may even be able to reach a higher realm. And these are undoubtedly true national secrets, comparable to nuclear bomb manufacturing."
"Although this is the first time I have met Martial Saint Jiang, we hit it off immediately. We can talk day and night and exchange experiences on these Cosmic Cultivation methods. At our level, the help that the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm can provide to us is already very limited."
"If we want to go further, we must Xia Kingdom and study together."
Gang Jin enveloped Wang Yan, tearing at the air. Countless primordial Origin Qi from heaven and earth gathered around them, forming an aura shield that blocked out the sound.
Major power secrets.
If any talented martial artist could obtain the cultivation method, what secret would it be!
This type of practice will be completely blocked.
Only when a martial artist of a high level appears will the cultivation method of the previous level be revealed.
Wang Yan paused, giving Jiang Shu enough time to think.
Xia Kingdom...
Jiang Shu remained expressionless, showing neither sorrow nor joy, as if he had expected this all along.
It's fair to say he's been waiting for this question all along.
Returning from Fusang, he appeared to be incomparably domineering and unparalleled in his elegance. In reality, however, he became a ticking time bomb in everyone's eyes.
The Xia Kingdom will not force him, but it will definitely try to win him over and resolve the issue through appeasement.
The master's message and the invitation to the conference are only the first step.
The real key lies in the present.
A higher realm!
Only by agreeing can one continue practicing.
If they do not agree, they can still cultivate, but their cultivation method will always be a version behind others.
The level of martial arts cultivation will also change from the original first place.
They gradually fell to the second tier.
This is a perfectly legitimate and aboveboard strategy.
No martial artist could refuse.
Presumably, Wang Yan Xia Kingdom for this reason, and in this Shengjing, he studied various martial arts techniques for the Xia Kingdom's use.
The path of martial arts becomes increasingly difficult as you progress.
The progression from Ming Jin to Gang Jin is still within the realm of human strength, both involving the application of force. The Transforming Force to Dan Jin is a slightly higher threshold.
But Gang Jin can Shattering the Void and Seeing the Divine and Indestructible is already a simple threshold.
It is an insurmountable barrier.
This is the evolution of species, the leap from man to god.
Once you reach the Gang Jin, there are no longer any martial arts training methods; all you need to rely on is enlightenment.
On one side is the towering sky.
On one side is the road to heaven.
Any martial artist would choose this.
These Dan Jin Grandmaster before us will undoubtedly all choose to the Xia Kingdom, obey its leadership, and serve the country.
Perhaps he will serve as an instructor in the military, teaching martial arts.
Perhaps, he will become a bodyguard in the Imperial Court, always by his side.
Perhaps, we can venture into the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm with the soldiers and explore the ruins.
Or perhaps, like Wang Yan, he participated in deciphering the Mind Cultivation Method and lived a life of cultivation, research, and practice in Shengjing.
"I have already taught you the Crystal Meditation Method, and I'm sure you can see its mysteries. Once you've mastered it to a small extent, you can Samadhi meditative state. But the Crystal Meditation Method is still a basic method, and it has an upper limit. It cannot break through to the Fetal Breathing Realm. Without Embryonic Breathing, you cannot reach the Sincerest Path and be able to know the future."
Wang Yan spoke again, and from the bottom of his heart, he desperately hoped that Jiang Shu would agree.
Firstly, he viewed Jiang Shu as an elder would a junior, naturally showing him care and consideration. He believed that in the current climate, joining the ranks was the only path a martial artist should take.
Secondly, his efforts alone are ultimately limited. The Research Institute staff can only decipher the written characters, but their understanding of the cultivation methods still depends on him. Ordinary Dan Jin Grandmaster (a type of internal alchemy) have too poor talent for Mind Cultivation and may not be able to help him.
But Jiang Shu is different. In less than three years, Ming Jin to Gang Jin, and his Mind Cultivation even reached the Samadhi of deep meditation. He's a natural-born Mind Cultivation! With his help, perhaps in less than two years, the two of them can both reach the Fetal Breathing Realm!
Shattering the Void, Seeing the Divine and Indestructible.
Sincerest Path can lead to foresight.
To usher in a true golden age of martial arts!
"Thank you very much, senior. But Jiang Shu is used to a leisurely life and feels more comfortable on her own."
Meeting Wang Yan's gaze, Jiang Shu spoke calmly, his eyes composed.
He knew, of course, how generous the conditions offered by the Xia Kingdom were this time.
If he agrees, he will be on the same level as Wang Yan, directly gaining the highest authority and access to all kinds of information about the Fetal Breathing Realm. With his talent and the Panel, he will soon become the number one martial artist in Xuanxing.
His status will be elevated to an unprecedented level, and he will be able to represent the Xia Kingdom all by himself.
Almost no martial artist would not be tempted.
After all, compared to what is gained, what is lost may only be a little bit of freedom.
But for Jiang Shu, the most important thing is freedom.
Only with freedom can he Two Worlds Travel!
Only by Two Worlds Travel can he have the opportunity to attain the highest enlightenment.
Mind Cultivation is indeed rare, and it is indeed a great path to enlightenment, but the Xia Kingdom has only studied a very small part of it. Perhaps, once they reach the Embryonic Breathing, the path ends.
But in another world, there is a mature martial arts system.
After joining a sect Hundred Dynasty War, a much wider world awaits.
As for Mind Cultivation Method, for the time being, the Crystal Meditation Method is sufficient.
Unable to advance to Embryonic Breathing?
Just Limit Break!
As Jiang Shu finished speaking, his thoughts became clear.
He would not give up the vast world and live in seclusion for the sake of being the number one in Xuanxing.
They would not feign Xia Kingdom to obtain cultivation methods, only to betray their faith later.
He only wants to be himself.
"It's alright. The gates of the Xia Kingdom have always been open to Martial Saint Jiang."
Seeing Jiang Shu's clear eyes and her figure as slender as a pine tree in the snow, Wang Yan smiled and spoke in a clear voice.
He hadn't expected Jiang Shu to refuse so decisively.
I suppose I was too young, hadn't experienced enough setbacks, and placed too much importance on my talent.
Perhaps it will take a few more years.
Only then will you realize that choice is more important than all effort.
At that time, he, who is still at the Gang Jin level, will definitely choose to walk the same path as me.
We are originally from the Xia Kingdom, so what's wrong with joining?
Not wanting to make a fool of himself, Wang Yan didn't continue. Jiang Shu, after expressing his gratitude, walked towards the crystal shards and began to examine the information within each piece.
These crystal fragments contained only images and Cosmos text, but based on the comparison between the Cosmos text in " Crystal Meditation Method " and the Xia Kingdom's script, Jiang Shu quickly identified a few scattered characters and guessed their meanings.
My understanding of the Crystal Meditation Method is also deepening.
As a great power, the Xia Kingdom naturally possessed the foundation and magnanimity of a great power.
Although he did not agree to join, as long as he was still Xia Kingdom, he would naturally be unguarded against this information.
" Deep Sleep, Samadhi, and Embryonic Breathing. In the Cosmic Cultivation, Mind Cultivation is the most crucial, it is the foundation. And Mind Cultivation will enhance vitality, and vitality is the application. Martial artists who have reached the First Order of Deep Sleep will, over time, strengthen their internal organs, and even if they cannot generate power, they can live to be 120 years old."
"These fragments contain records that hypnotists exist on planets in the universe, guiding ordinary people into deep sleep. These hypnotists are at least in a meditative state. It's likely that Wang Yan, the Martial Saint, besides deciphering the information on the Fetal Breathing Realm, also hypnotizes leaders. Or perhaps, in the Xia Kingdom, there is another Martial Saint of Gang Jin, specifically in charge of this matter."
"No wonder, as martial arts have developed to this point, none of the leaders have learned martial arts, because they have better options."
Jiang Shu's mind raced with a myriad of thoughts.
The martial arts cultivation in the Xia Kingdom, specifically at the Dan Jin stage, involves the unity of essence, energy, and spirit. Later stages, such as Gang Jin, Shattering the Void, Seeing the Divine and Indestructible, and the Sincerest Path, allow for foresight. Ultimately, it all leads back to oneself; one could say, "I am the universe."
The martial arts of the Great Jing Dynasty progress to the Furnace Fire Realm after the Third Order Body Refining, Qi Refining, and Spirit Refining. Although he did not know how powerful the Furnace Fire Realm, according to the few records he had, the definition of the Furnace Fire Realm was. " Heaven and Earth Furnace, and I am the fire within it."
He walks the path of harmony with heaven and earth, and the Origin Qi of heaven and earth condenses into liquid within his body. With every gesture, supernatural powers are revealed.
Compared to the martial arts of the Xia Kingdom, this places more emphasis on the control of Origin Qi and the understanding of heaven and earth.
However, Mind Cultivation is a completely different path.
Developing the brain and awakening the whole body—even with Jiang Shu's current limited understanding, he can see that this kind of cultivation is the only way to truly reach the end.
Because I am heaven and earth, my limits are predetermined. The highest realm is nothing more than Shattering the Void and Seeing the Divine and Indestructible.
It may seem mysterious, but it's really just a top-tier version of the Aperture Opening Realm expert. Once all 365 Aperture in the body are opened, one can step into it.
While I merge with heaven and earth, seemingly able to advance triumphantly, I will also decay and collapse as heaven and earth decay and collapse.
Only Mind Cultivation is truly limitless. The mind is infinitely vast, and so is the realm of enlightenment; it can be said to be without end.
Unfortunately, even after three years of Samadhi effort, the Xia Kingdom could only compile information on the meditative state.
At this stage, only the state of Embryonic Breathing, or Embryonic Breathing, can be of great help to oneself.
Fetal Breathing Realm...
Jiang Shu couldn't help but think of the tremor in her heart when the Liang Family Ancestor came chasing after her.
Rebirth Realm the Spirit Refining in the Transformation Realm.
That should be equivalent to the Fetal Breathing Realm!
Having mastered the three martial arts, Jiang Shu finally touched the complete crystal.
This is the original version of " Crystal Meditation Method ".
As he touched the crystal, familiar characters entered Jiang Shu's mind.
If you don't retreat in time before Samadhi state, you'll almost certainly be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, potentially leading to brain damage.
This is the fundamental reason why all the Dan Jin Grandmaster only dare to touch crystal fragments, but not the complete crystal.
If they wish to practice the " Crystal Meditation Method," they can only be taught it by Martial Saint like Wang Yan.
The two look the same.
However, there are still differences in reality.
Just like movie picture quality, the former is 8K, while the latter is only 1080p.
On the Panel, the proficiency level is slowly increasing.
At this moment, Minister Xiao saw that Jiang Shu had closed his eyes and couldn't help but look at Wang Yan, the Martial Saint, with a questioning and expectant look in his eyes.
He did not agree.
Soon, Wang Yan's voice echoed in his mind.
"What a pity."
Minister Xiao couldn't help but shake his head, sighing inwardly.
The Xia Kingdom and Jiang Shu will certainly maintain a delicate balance.
But next, the order of appearance and the direction of the standing positions at the conference.
These initial plans and arrangements were thwarted by Jiang Shu's refusal...
It needs to be changed.
