Two "Peerless" Martial Arts
Human Emperor's Temporary Palace and founded two martial arts schools?
Upon hearing this, everyone present became quite interested.
Apart from Li Jingxuan, all the people who came this time were Grandmaster, and in terms of their foundation, they were only one step away from the Dharma Aspect.
They, who should have been stationed in various places, have gathered here, not for the trivial matters of the seven families.
The New Martial Arts that Floating Hill Mountain was promoting in the Eastern Wilderness had already been obtained by various factions long ago.
Everyone knows that the key to the New Martial Arts lies in the improvement upon the [Refining the True] method created by the Great Hero Mo, which solved the problem of the demand and supply of Profound Qi, allowing Martial Dao to no longer be limited by Profound Qi.
This single method alone is enough to be considered a reform and a revolution, breaking down the original barriers of Martial Dao.
Therefore, their purpose in coming to Northern Plains this time is to find out if Yu Tunzhou has any other teachings to pass on, as well as the most important concept of the Grand Purity Daode Lineage!
This lineage has not appeared in the world since High Antiquity, and there are only a few words about it in High Antiquity records. I never thought that it would make such a fuss in this life.
Each of these families follows the lineages of Daoism and Buddhism; how could they not know the status of this particular lineage?
There are also records related to "Dao and Virtue" within the sect.
Their purpose in this visit was to clarify what the Daode Lineage should do and to what extent.
Compared to such momentous events that would shape the future of the world, what about the Seven Families of Northern Plains?
It's just dust from plants and trees.
Even those present were only among the earliest arrivals; spies from the other major sects and clans were already on their way.
They might not visit Yu Tunzhou directly, but they would secretly travel to various parts of Northern Plains to obtain the Northern Plains methods transmitted by Yu Tunzhou, and thus secretly study and try to understand the intentions of the Daode Lineage.
Upon hearing that Yu Tunzhou was going to reveal his martial arts skills, everyone assumed it was a new method of traditional martial arts that would be implemented soon, and they all looked on with eager anticipation, waiting for him to show his skills.
Yu Tunzhou, however, smiled, with a hint of teasing, and said, "If you were to see these two martial arts techniques, you would be quite surprised. I'm just giving you a heads-up."
Vaccines?
The crowd's curiosity grew stronger.
What kind of martial art could have surprised them so much?
Yu Tunzhou stood up with a smile, went into the hall, and demonstrated for everyone.
He stepped forward, lowered his waist and hips, and firmly placed his center of gravity on his waist, hips and feet. With each breath, wisps of earth energy flowed from the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet into his entire body, circulating with his Qi and Blood and qi.
Everyone's gaze sharpened, and their expressions became more serious than ever before.
But this seriousness gradually turned into bewilderment as he scrutinized her.
They tried every possible angle, but couldn't find even the slightest trace of the profound mystery of the Yu Tunzhou martial art.
It's like----
This is a rudimentary stance training method, suitable only for beginner martial artists who are building a solid foundation.
Qinghuang Daoist frowned deeply. Before joining the sect, he came from a tenant farmer's family under the Nanhua Sect. At this moment, Yu Tunzhou's actions seemed strangely familiar.
Especially those two steps, they didn't seem like steps to meet an enemy, but rather like bare feet stepping into a field, firmly planting the soil.
All that was heard from Yu Tunzhou was his words: "The first technique is stance training. It doesn't require the circulation of Qi throughout the body or the leaping of internal energy. It only emphasizes four words: 'rooting oneself firmly to the ground.'"
"Humans live a lifetime, born from the earth, fed by grains, clothed in mulberry and hemp, and in the end, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, all returning to this earth."
At this point, Yu Tunzhou seemed slightly lost in thought, and couldn't help but recall an old friend from his former grotto.
He came to his senses and smiled at the Grandmaster before him, saying, "No matter if you are a grandmaster elder, a noble Aristocratic Clan member, or even a god or arhat, the land beneath your feet is still this land, and the food in your mouth is still what grows from this soil."
"Yu was born into a peasant family and suffered hunger and cold in his childhood. He knew the importance of land and food. After entering the Human Emperor Grotto-Heaven, he saw the murals depicting the High Antiquity people practicing slash-and-burn agriculture and praying for a good harvest. He even saw the Human Emperor himself working in the fields with the people. Deeply moved, he adopted the way of farming to enter the Martial Dao and created this stance."
"As the saying goes, man follows the earth, and the earth follows heaven. People depend on food for survival, and food depends on the soil. Just as a plant takes root in the earth, one must be like a grain of rice, Thick Earth, so that the earth's energy may never cease."
"When this stance is cultivated to its deepest level, the internal energy within a three-zhang radius around the body can move at will, causing vegetation to grow wildly and the land to become fertile. Therefore, it is shamelessly named the ' Agricultural God Stance '."
Everyone was momentarily stunned. It really was just an ordinary stance training exercise, which seemed to only have the effect of drawing in the earth's energy and fertilizing the soil?
Is this a martial art for farming?
A moment later.
Master Liaokong clasped his hands together and solemnly said, "This exercise is simple and unadorned, yet it subtly aligns with the Buddhist School' walking, standing, sitting, and lying down are all forms of Zen.' Excellent!"
Master Xuanlan smiled and said, "The Daoist School also has the method of 'fasting of the mind and sitting in oblivion,' which is similar in principle to this practice."
Yu Tunzhou smiled and, regardless of whether the praise was genuine or just professional flattery, began to demonstrate the second martial art he had created on this trip.
After An Ruyu left, during the time he was waiting for Huntian, he retraced the demoness's path and observed the murals along the way.
These two martial arts techniques were inspired by observing the murals.
Yu Tunzhou raises its hand, leading with its fingers and wrist, and with its wrist and arm, its hands are precise, steady, and gentle, and the Limitless Gang Qi transforms into silk threads, embroidering patterns in the Void.
His hands were so skillful that they could determine the slightest difference with a single finger or a flick of the wrist. His skill was so profound that it bordered on the Dao. He could not only thread a needle, but also decide life and death within a tiny space.
Before anyone could speak, Yu Tunzhou leisurely said, "This is ' Threading the Needle,' a martial art involving techniques and methods. It's still not considered profound. If practiced to a high level, it can serve as the foundation for grappling, hidden weapons, Swordsmanship. Of course, it's more suitable for sewing, weaving, and making clothes."
The crowd had already fallen silent.
The two Divine Ability he displayed truly took them by surprise!
After finishing his martial arts demonstration, Yu Tunzhou smiled and said, "You are all masters of Martial Dao. Now that you've come all the way to Northern Plains, there's no rush to go back."
"My intention in offering this as a starting point is to encourage everyone to pool their wisdom and create more martial arts techniques, so that Martial Dao can truly be integrated into the lives of ordinary people."
"In Yu's view, Martial Dao are different from the Immortal Dao path of the Mortal Realm; they should be rooted in the Mortal Realm."
"My Daode Lineage spreads throughout the world, not seeking to produce outstanding talents, but rather aspiring to emulate the ancient Human Emperor of old: 'Men till the fields, women weave, granaries are full, the elderly are cared for, children are supported, the common people are neither hungry nor cold, and blessings extend even to plants and insects—this is the prosperous age sought by the Human Emperor.'"
"However, even the Human Emperor probably didn't expect that in such a prosperous land Central Plains, no monarch in any Human Race since Central Plains High Antiquity times has achieved such a golden age."
Is it because it's too difficult?
Or is it simply that nobody is doing it?
During the scene, Liu Qiandao had already fallen silent, looking dazed.
No matter what unparalleled martial arts Yu Tunzhou unleashed today, Liu Qiandao might be shocked, but he would never be as bewildered and disoriented as he is now.
Yu Tunzhou's two "simple" martial arts techniques were the best answer to his past questions.
Suddenly, Daoist Qinghuang said softly, "Legend has it that after the Human Emperor attained enlightenment, he devoted himself to studying the teachings of various schools of thought, gaining insights into agriculture, alchemy, and other fields. However, given the Human Emperor's level of attainment, these things were no longer of use to him. His true purpose was naturally for the entire Human Race, but unfortunately—"
He sighed, and everyone fell silent, understanding his meaning.
Almost none of the various studies on the Human Emperor have survived; they have been lost in the long river of history.
Floating Hill Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness is said to be the lineage of the Human Emperor, but in reality, it only inherited some of the Human Emperor's Dao of Alchemy Pill Formula and insights.
Yu Tunzhou was also aware of what this person meant, and had heard about it before.
He used to only feel regret about it.
But now, looking at the loss of the Human Emperor's various research findings, was it truly an accident, or was it simply a case of certain Aristocratic Clan harboring ill intentions and deliberately concealing it?
It's probably much more than that.
At least for now, ever since the Human Emperor disappeared, there has been someone behind the scenes trying to erase Human Emperor achievements!
Master Liaokong of Shaolin Temple rose, clasped his hands together, and said, "Excellent, excellent----"
"Before coming here, based on my understanding of the Refining the True Method, I had many speculations about the Northern Plains Martial Arts, and even dared to guess that the Daode Lineage would combine its supreme method with Martial Dao and pass it on to the world."
"But little did we expect that the Martial Dao held by the Daode Lineage was not merely about winning—"
Yu Tunzhou smiled and said, "It will happen."
Silence fell upon everyone again.
This means----
Is the Daode Lineage truly prepared to offer its supreme teachings to the world?
Xuanlan's expression was solemn.
The patriarch's conjecture has been proven true.
According to the patriarch's deduction, if the supreme method were readily available, everyone in the world could learn it, which would greatly accelerate the already strained distinction between noble and aristocratic families!
Both Aristocratic Clan and sects will lose some of their responsibilities and powers in "transmitting the Dharma".
This will further diminish their status.
Yu Tunzhou was indeed preparing to pass on his improved Taijiquan to Northern Plains.
This fist technique involves the fundamental principles of his Dao, but he is not worried that it will reveal his Dao Path. This is because if millions of people learn it, there will be millions of ways to understand it. Perhaps some people can find the supreme method in it, but it is also destined that many people can only learn the superficial aspects.
In his view, this is the future division of Martial Dao.
"Passing down the lineage of Daode Lineage and martial arts across the world gives everyone the right to choose, but it doesn't mean that everyone can reach the pinnacle of Martial Dao because of it."
Yu Tunzhou slowly opened its mouth.
"What we desire is to improve people's livelihoods and gradually reduce the influence of powerful clans, but the most important thing is..."
"Or it's about changing the ingrained beliefs of the masses."
"The distinction between noble and common has bound people for far too long."
Therefore, some people never think that they are qualified to stand at a high place, in a place different from where they were born.
"Martial Dao will change that."
Martial Dao may not be able to defy fate, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely reap the rewards, and that is enough.
Even Yu Tunzhou didn't know what this road was like.
But he never felt lost.
Since the Final Tribulation are approaching, things can't possibly get any worse.
Upon hearing Yu Tunzhou's words, all the Grandmaster present fell silent.
Yu Tunzhou looked outside and said slowly, "Whether this road is feasible or not, let the people of Northern Plains try it out first."
Qinghuang Daoist rose and solemnly said, "This humble Daoist will stay in Northern Plains for three months, attempting to contribute two bricks to the search for New Martial Arts arts for the people of Northern Plains."
Master Xuanlan also rose, his eyes filled with emotion. "Daode Lineage has this determination, the Zhenwu Lineage is also willing to lend a helping hand."
One by one, everyone stood up and expressed their willingness to suspend Northern Plains and observe Northern Plains's next steps.
The monk Wuji of Little Thunderclap Temple frowned inwardly, realizing that no one here cared about the fate of the seven families.
Or rather, with the tacit approval of each party, the seven have become necessary sacrifices!
To successfully transmit the Dharma, the Northern Plains Northern Plains Aristocratic Clan be completely subdued, ensuring that none of them dare to secretly cause trouble and cooperate wholeheartedly.
Now, with the collapse of seven families serving as a deterrent, who in Northern Plains would dare to act recklessly?
Thinking about this, even though Wuji, he couldn't change anything.
After a moment of deep thought, he clasped his hands together, indicating that he would return to the sect as soon as possible to inform the sect leaders about the situation in Northern Plains and ask them to make a decision.
Finally, the monk Wuji looked at Yu Tunzhou and suddenly asked, "What does Benefactor Yu think of the ' Great Yuan Dynasty ' that was reborn on the ruins of the Great Yan Dynasty?"
"Master Yu may not yet be aware that the Great Yuan Dynasty is about to send an envoy to the Northern Plains Northern Plains to select one family from among the various households there to represent the imperial family and govern the Northern Plains."
