I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

Li Xuan sat leisurely in his chair, eyes slightly closed, as if basking in contented dozing, yet his focus was entirely on the Daoist Golden Book.

“Finally, it’s completed.”

The Fifth Door of Martial Arts had finally been compiled completely, whether it was the theoretical framework, Martial Arts Techniques, or even merging the Imperishable Qi and transforming a part of it into the Divine Soul, it was all laid out.

Next, it all depended on Jiang Buping himself.

“Jiang Buping, that youngster, from a prodigy to a castaway, and an abandoned one at that, born with a Divine Soul and possessing the bearing of one blessed by fate—by cultivating and deliberating, he should encounter no major problems.”

Li Xuan had quite a bit of confidence in Jiang Buping.

Shaking his head, Jiang Buping woke from his deep sleep once more, breathing a sigh of relief when he realized the unimaginable images were gone.

However, he was immediately taken aback.

Where was he?

He got up listlessly.

“You’re awake.”

Shi’er appeared before him.

“Thank you, elder brother, for the rescue.”

Jiang Buping expressed his gratitude.

“It wasn’t me who saved you, come with me.”

Shi’er led Jiang Buping to where Li Xuan was.

Xu Yan, Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu, and Fang Hao, upon hearing that Jiang Buping had awakened, came over curiously.

Jiang Buping was somewhat stupefied, but gratefully said, “I am Jiang Buping, thank you all for saving my life!”

“Jiang Buping, the castoff from the Taikun Realm?”

Feng Yan muttered to himself in a rather surprised tone.

Jiang Buping’s mouth twitched as he then noticed Feng Yan, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

Suddenly, he realized that these people, including Feng Yan the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, all stood deferentially beneath that young man.

Li Xuan observed Jiang Buping, thinking to himself that, true to being a child of fortune, Jiang Buping had encountered Imperishable Qi. He was only listless and found it difficult to concentrate; that was all—his Spiritual Wisdom had not been lost, nor was he in a muddled stupor. Ȓᴀ₦ÓBĘṠ

Today, he intended to take on a disciple. There was no need for outsiders.

Thus, he gave Feng Yan a glance, and Feng Yan tactfully excused himself.

In the courtyard, only Xu Yan remained as a disciple; Shi’er, Zhou Ying, Meng Shushu, and Red Cat were not outsiders.

Xie Lingfeng was in closed-door cultivation and hadn’t emerged yet.

Xie Tianheng was contemplating Divine Skills and hence was not there.

“Jiang Buping.”

Li Xuan spoke up.

“Elder, it’s me!”

Jiang Buping forcibly perked up to reply.

“You were born with a Divine Soul and are exceptionally gifted. However, your soul has been weighed down by Imperishable Qi, which leaves you often without vitality, making it hard to focus.

“Affected by Imperishable Qi and still retaining your Spiritual Wisdom, not clouded in a torpor, shows that your Divine Soul is extraordinary.”

Li Xuan spoke deliberately, word by word.

Jiang Buping was shocked. Only his mother and he knew about the innate Divine Soul, and since his mother had passed away, no one else in this world knew this.

Did this elder discern it at a glance?

How could that be!

Once one broke through to the Divine Refinement Realm and condensed their Divine Soul, it was impossible for others to detect whether it was innate.

Initially, when he was plotted against and came into contact with Imperishable Qi, he pretended to be torpid and lose his Spiritual Wisdom. The Jiang Clan had an Immortal Heavenly Venerable who examined his Divine Soul and never realized the truth.

Otherwise, how could he have managed to deceive them and escape from the Taikun Realm?

“Elder, how did you know I was born with a Divine Soul?”

Jiang Buping took a deep breath and asked.

It’s either a blessing or a curse you can’t avoid!

He also decided to admit it outright.

“There’s nothing my eyes can’t see through.”

Li Xuan smiled mysteriously.

This was a preparation for him to later impart the Minor Heavenly Eye.

“Your talent is extraordinary, your will is remarkable, and your Divine Soul, affected by Imperishable Qi, means both calamity and opportunity. I have a Martial Art that can allow you to be reborn from the ashes, surpass all peaks, and dispel any sense of injustice in your heart. Would you like to take me as your master?”

Li Xuan asked solemnly.

Jiang Buping was startled. The elder wanted to take him as a disciple?

Touched by Imperishable Qi, was it both a disaster and an opportunity? Could the elder resolve the effects of the Imperishable Qi?

“`

No matter what, this was an opportunity.

It was his chance to rise again. If there was a chance for resurgence, how could he willingly sink into oblivion?

Alas, his Divine Soul was tainted with Imperishable Qi, a problem seemingly without solution. He was fortunate to retain his Spiritual Wisdom and not become senseless and muddled. How could he dare to hope for recovery?

Now, the opportunity to reach the pinnacle again had appeared!

Jiang Buping fell to his knees with a thump, bowing respectfully and said, “Disciple Jiang Buping, greets Master!”

“Um, rise.”

Li Xuan nodded.

Jiang Buping stood up excitedly and asked, “Master, can you really resolve the Imperishable Qi that taints my Divine Soul?”

“It depends on you. If you can comprehend it, then it can be resolved.”

Li Xuan did not give an absolute answer.

Looking at Xu Yan and the three other disciples, he said, “This is your eldest senior brother Xu Yan, second senior brother Meng Chong, third senior sister Su Lingxiu, and fourth senior brother Fang Hao.”

“Jiang Buping pays his respects to the eldest senior brother, second senior brother…”

Jiang Buping bowed respectfully.

“Fifth Junior Brother is too polite!”

Xu Yan said with a smile.

Jiang Buping had a naturally gifted Divine Soul, no wonder the Master had considered taking on another disciple.

After some friendly exchanges among the brothers and sister, Jiang Buping looked at his Master with full anticipation.

“Your Master has a Martial Art called Extreme Soul Martial Art… Your naturally gifted Divine Soul is most suitable for it, and this Martial Art, true to its name, revolves around the word ‘extreme.’

“The user of Extreme Soul, takes the soul as the foundation, the physical body as the furnace. All cultivation centers upon the Divine Soul, aiming to cultivate a single aspect of the Divine Soul to the ultimate level.

“For an Extreme Soul Warrior, the body becomes unimportant, as the soul is the essence, the foundation. There won’t be aimlessness in the Divine Soul due to the body’s absence,

“nor would there be a need to re-condense the body or seek rebirth through possession.

“For an Extreme Soul Warrior, the body is merely a furnace for cultivating the extreme soul, and it is not necessary for the furnace to be of flesh and blood…”

Li Xuan elucidated the theory of the Fifth Door of Martial Arts.

Extreme Soul Martial Art!

To base it upon the soul, to make the soul the foundation, it was a Martial Art of the ultimate kind, which could also be seen as a technique of the ultimate path.

Jiang Buping listened eagerly and respectfully, fearing he would miss the slightest detail.

The more he heard, the more exhilarated he became. The Extreme Soul Martial Art was indeed suitable for his cultivation. If he had practiced this from the beginning, his power might now rival that of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

Xu Yan and the others were also listening. Especially Xu Yan, who seemed thoughtful. Although the Extreme Soul Martial Art wasn’t well-suited for his own cultivation, he could still extract techniques that could be incorporated into his own Martial Arts.

Meng Chong was also pondering. He cultivated the Physical Body Martial Arts, which targeted the ultimate potential of the physical body, while the Extreme Soul Martial Art focused on the ultimate potential of the Divine Soul, or the Primordial Spirit.

It was two Martial Arts aiming for their respective ultimate potential.

After listening to the Master explain the Extreme Soul Martial Art, Xu Yan and the others understood why the Master wanted to take Jiang Buping as a disciple – Jiang Buping was simply too suitable for this Martial Art.

As Li Xuan lectured on the theory of the Extreme Soul Martial Art, he too looked forward with anticipation to what feedback he would receive once Jiang Buping succeeded in his cultivation.

A transformation of the Primordial Spirit?

His Primordial Spirit was already very strong, almost on par with his physical body.

Should it transform once more, how strong would it become?

Fortunately, he had also developed the Physical Body Martial Arts. As Meng Chong reached a comprehension of this, his own power would once again surge to new heights.

“Be it Physical Body Martial Arts, Alchemical Medical Martial Arts, Extreme Soul Martial Art, or Qimen Martial Art, all are based on Pure Martial Arts, and only the strength of Pure Martial Arts allows one to exert the greatest power.”

Li Xuan mused to himself.

Moreover, Xu Yan, the pioneer of his Martial Arts, would surely draw the necessary elements from the Extreme Soul Martial Art and further enhance it, taking the Pure Martial Arts down an even purer and more powerful path!

On the Daoist Golden Book, the information provided for the Extreme Soul Martial Art:

Extreme Soul Martial Art:

Perfection of Cultivation Technique: Above average.

Difficulty of Comprehension: High.

Difficulty of Cultivation: High.

The main reason for the high difficulty of cultivation was that Jiang Buping must resolve the Imperishable Qi on his Divine Soul to successfully begin.

Otherwise, with Jiang Buping’s naturally gifted Divine Soul, the level of difficulty wouldn’t reach such a high rating.

“… The Extreme Soul Martial Art lies in cultivating an Imperishable Spirit Soul. Only by achieving an Imperishable Spirit Soul can one truly exhibit the mighty power of the Extreme Soul Martial Art.

“And to produce an Imperishable Spirit Soul requires step-by-step cultivation and numerous transformations of the Extreme Soul. During this process, one might suffer greatly.

“That’s why the Extreme Soul Martial Art is difficult to cultivate and is not accessible to ordinary people, only those with great determination.

“Yet, the Imperishable Qi contaminating your Divine Soul is an opportunity. If you can fully integrate the Imperishable Qi into your Divine Soul, making it a part of your Soul, then your Soul can directly transform into an Imperishable Spirit Soul.

“You would effectively bypass the lengthy suffering, moving directly to the true form of an Extreme Soul Warrior, but the precondition is, you must smoothly resolve the Imperishable Qi.”

Li Xuan said these final words with a grave expression, looking earnestly at Jiang Buping.
