Chapter 528: Chapter 288: Above Divine Skills, Martial Arts Divine Appearance _2
While refining the Heavenly Earth Lingji, Moon Changming also contemplated the patterns of a certain law.
This was a few pattern imprints extracted from the Heaven and Earth Laws on the first page of the Book of Tai Cang, imprinted on paper by Li Xuan.
For Martial Artists from the Ling Domain, these few patterns were sufficient for their comprehension. Aspiring to comprehend the laws governing the whole universe obviously was impossible.
One could only comprehend one or two of the laws therein.
Li Xuan set aside compiling the Divine Skill Martial Code for the time being and turned to compile realms of Martial Arts beyond Divine Skills. Meanwhile, he also passed on his Martial Arts Cultivation Technique to Xu Yan before he set out on his adventures.
Xu Yan's path towards invincibility was destined to be a road leading to the pinnacle of the Ling domain; progress on this path would naturally lead to an increased understanding of Martial Arts.
Perhaps during this time, he could comprehend all the methods of Martial Arts above Divine Skills.
"For methods above Divine Skills that involve Heaven and Earth Laws, I have compiled them already. The completeness of the Cultivation technique is not bad, with high continuity between realms.
"The path being trodden by martial artists of Tai Cang inevitably involves incorporating the Heaven and Earth Laws into the body. Even if one masters the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws, one still remains subject to the limitations of these laws.
"Transcending heaven and earth is much more difficult, and also lacks the laws of one's own Martial Arts.
"My Martial Arts naturally cannot be constrained. I control the Heaven and Earth Laws, rather than being restricted by them. Therefore, above Divine Skills, I make use of Heaven and Earth Laws for my own benefit.
"By using the Heaven and Earth Laws as my Divine Appearance to enhance my Divine Skills while also maintaining my control, one may call it the Physiognomy realm."
Li Xuan finalized his realm beyond Divine Skills.
The Physiognomy realm!
Transforming the Heaven and Earth Laws into the Divine Appearance of Martial Arts and using the Heaven and Earth Laws for personal use somehow implies overriding the Heaven and Earth Laws.
To be within the heavens and earth, yet in a sense surpassing them, is almost impossible to achieve.
The development of Tai Cang martial artists beyond the Refining God Heavenly Man must be related to the Heaven and Earth Laws. Li Xuan could generally deduce this as nothing more than the refining of the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws.
They can borrow the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws to a certain extent.
Like Huang Liang, such peerless warriors possess the capability to sense the Heaven and Earth Laws by refining the Heavenly Earth Lingji into their body and consolidating the power of a strand of the heavens and earth.
Such actions seem to employ the Heaven and Earth Laws, however, Tai Cang martial artists merely reside under these laws. The release of power is not about "control" or "manipulation" but largely about borrowing.
Perhaps higher realm is needed to be on equal footing with Heaven and Earth Laws and truly manipulate these laws for personal use.
What Li Xuan has to do is to directly manipulate the Heaven and Earth Laws for his own use in his realm beyond Divine Skills which, in a sense, has already laid a foundation for overriding the Heaven and Earth Laws.
The reason why he can manipulate the Heaven and Earth Laws is not only because of the Divine Skill Realm's manipulation of the Laws of Heaven and Earth through his own Martial Arts cultivation techniques but also due to a crucial factor.
The Heaven and Earth Laws recorded in the Book of Tai Cang allow Li Xuan to have a profound understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws.
He can directly refer to the Heaven and Earth Laws in the Tai Cang Book, incorporate them into the Physiognomy realm and control the method of the Heaven and Earth Laws.
Control the Heaven and Earth Laws and transform them into the Divine Appearance of Martial Arts!
"The Physiognomy Realm has been set. It uses the Heaven and Earth Laws as the Divine Appearance of Martial Arts, and even uses the universe as its Divine Appearance... To transcend the universe, one must cultivate all the way up and not be restricted by the universe.
"The Divine Appearance is the beginning of transcending the Heaven and Earth. Although it is still far away from transcending the Heaven and Earth, it is already not restricted by the laws of heaven and earth, but controlling the laws of Heaven and Earth.
"Considering Xu Yan's special talents, he should have no problem understanding this."
Li Xuan was filled with excitement.
The Physiognomy realm, theoretically, is similar to the realm above Refining God Heavenly Man in stature, but in reality, it surmounts the realm above Refining God Heavenly Man.
"If I can break into the Physiognomy realm and display the Divine Appearance of Martial Arts, coupled with the Divine Skills of the Law of Heaven and Earth... My goodness, the whole universe will feel as if it is under my Law of Heaven and Earth, right?
"This is just too incredible!
"If I perform the Divine Skill of the Dragon Descending, and transform the Divine Appearance of Martial Arts into a divine dragon, then I am making a dragon out of the Heaven and Earth Laws."
The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became.
He opened the Daoist Golden Book to look up the method of Martial Arts for the Physiognomy realm.
The Martial Art Method of the Physiognomy Realm:
Completeness of Cultivation Technique: Above middle level.
Continuity among realms: High.
Difficulty of Comprehension: High.
Difficulty of Cultivation: Above middle level.
Looking at the information provided by the Daoist Golden Book, Li Xuan was satisfied and nodded.
The completeness of the Cultivation Technique was only above middle level, but it was not low. With Xu Yan's special talents, he could completely comprehend it.
As for the continuity among realms, it got a high rating.
This means that the advancement theory from the Divine Skill Realm to the Physiognomy Realm is completely correct.
The high comprehension difficulty was expected. After all, the Physiognomy realm's martial arts method, which he incorporated into the Book of Tai Cang's Heaven and Earth Laws, can be intuitively understood on how to begin controlling the Heaven and Earth Laws.
The difficulty of cultivation was only above the middle level, which means that as long as it is understood, it would not be too difficult to cultivate.
"The martial arts method of the Physiognomy realm shall stay as it is."
It would be too difficult to improve the completeness of the Cultivation Technique and reduce the comprehension difficulty.
Because after all, if the comprehension difficulty is reduced and the completeness of the Cultivation Technique is improved, the power of this realm in a certain sense would actually decrease.
The closer it is to the Divine Skill Realm, the higher the completeness of the Cultivation Technique will naturally be. However, the farther from the Divine Skill Realm, the greater the power gap between realms would be, hence, it would be more difficult to improve the completeness of the Cultivation Technique.
