Chapter 2007 - 2010: The Cultivation Mechanics of the Undefeated War God
Chapter 2007 - 2010: The Cultivation Mechanics of the Undefeated War God
Seeing Shen Qiang close his eyes to rest, ignoring everyone, the big swordsman, Zhan Deyuan, and others left helplessly. Beside him was the full-figured and graceful Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who gently covered Shen Qiang with a blanket and then sweetly closed her eyes for a nap beside him.Yet at this moment, Shen Qiang, outwardly indifferent and with an unwavering expression, was shockingly looking at the contents of the Jade Scroll that the Dragon Group War God had left for him in his Sea of Consciousness:
The three thousand paths all lead to the same end, similarly resolved through diverse considerations!
I was born dim-witted, unable to master any of the numerous techniques. Abandoning them at thirty, I turned to studying martial arts, consulting renowned masters. Alas, the moves were complex and flashy, dazzling to observe and exhausting to use, researched for ten years without progress, abandoned at forty, subsequently concentrating on True Qi and achieving minor success at forty-five, undefeated for over a hundred years now.
"The phrase 'similar resolutions through diverse considerations' comes from Zhou Yi, meaning that different methods can achieve the same goal." Shen Qiang frowned, yet felt immensely shocked inside:
"This Dragon Group War God is quite peculiar. Can't learn techniques, can't master martial arts, isn't that wasteful? Yet intriguingly, started studying True Qi at forty, achieving minor success, undefeated for a hundred years, this is nothing short of extraordinary."
Thinking this, Shen Qiang continued reading.
But the subsequent content not only made Shen Qiang's body tremble, it also brightened his eyes.
"Surveying martial arts, techniques, formations in the world, their research purposes are merely two words: Power. Yet many cultivators focus their energy on techniques, sword techniques, fist techniques, and crafting various magical treasures, which is neglecting the fundamental for the secondary."
"A cultivator's power comes from True Qi, which is the real foundation of cultivation. So, as long as one truly masters the use of True Qi and True Yuan, one can be unstoppable and invincible!"
Upon understanding this segment, Shen Qiang's mind buzzed.
Because prior to this, although Shen Qiang never deliberately pursued techniques, once his cultivation reached the Mixed Element Realm, and he could harness nature's spiritual energy, Shen Qiang was deeply engrossed in Electric Element techniques.
Whenever he had spare time, he sought Electric Element technique secret manuals everywhere.
After all, not only did they look cool, the dazzling light and electricity rendered those techniques seemingly powerful.
But!
Even if Shen Qiang used those techniques, it was impossible to surpass the top-tier Harmonization stage powerhouses.
And those top-tier powerhouses, while their Dao Fruits were bizarre, were nevertheless vulnerable before the Dragon Group War God.
Previously, Shen Qiang believed that this was merely because the Dragon Group War God's cultivation was too strong.
But now, seeing this content, Shen Qiang instantly realized that this had nothing to do with the strength of cultivation, but lay in a fundamental difference.
No matter what Dao Fruits you have?
One punch and I'll knock you down!
No matter what sword moves, regardless of their flamboyance, one punch and I'll blast you apart!
In the face of absolute power, what use are those tricks?
While other cultivators are frantically practicing various moves, I just need to practice power!
The average person's physical strength is one hundred, my power is one hundred eighty, one punch to smash.
A cultivator's physical strength is ten thousand, my power is eighteen thousand, one punch to smash.
Why bother with those fancy moves?
Does striking a crane wing enhance combat strength? No, all techniques and moves ultimately pursue power!
Then why pursue moves?
As the saying goes, formless is superior to form, where is the root?
It's naturally power!
Feeling enlightened, Shen Qiang was ecstatic and eagerly continued reading.
"Surveying the world's techniques, martial arts, strength is always fundamental, and the strongest aspect of a cultivator is in True Qi. When practicing techniques, I believed that as long as there was enough true substance, forcing it may succeed; when researching martial arts, I focused all my attention on finding the opponent's weaknesses."
"But ultimately, I found they all mere distractions, true skill never lies within a single move, but in the use of Qi."
"A brick cannot be struck into a tree easily, but a steel needle can do so with ease."
"A person's power is limited, but in the universe, by placing a fulcrum, one hand can move Earth."
"So the application of Qi is key."
Seeing this content, Shen Qiang vaguely felt familiarity because this was simply like a flipped version of cultivation mechanics.
"There are only five conditions for using a cultivator's True Qi."
"1, Strengthening. Using True Qi for fortification."
"2, Manipulation. Using True Qi and True Yuan to control others, techniques, magical treasures, all alike."
"3, Emission. The most representative is Sword Qi."
"4, Transformation. Transforming True Yuan into other forms, such as wind, frost, rain, snow, thunder, earth, wood, sand, stone, mud, and other technique foundations."
"5, Perception. Observing the surroundings through the emission of True Yuan upon encountering situations!"
Seeing these contents, Shen Qiang was greatly shocked.
It's crucial to know, even within the Medical Saint Inheritance's Mixed Arts, though there are skills like Fury, Power, Wind Walk, Precision, Barrier, etc., they are merely certain uses of True Yuan.
To witness such clear content on the usage methods of True Qi and True Yuan is indeed Shen Qiang's first time.
Because this is just like a cultivation mechanics outline.
Fundamentally lacking moves, yet directly addressing the core.
Moreover.
As a cultivator in the Mixed Element Realm, Shen Qiang deeply realized that within this seemingly simple summary lies great philosophical truths!
Take strengthening for instance, when cultivators use True Yuan, it's usually for fortification: speeding actions, increasing power, enhancing bodily defense, hardening weapons, boosting one's destructive force.
Going deeper, the Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth Shirt, even the legendary Unleakable Golden Body, Vajra Unbreakable, are merely fortifications of oneself.
Therefore, if one understands this most critical issue and masters the core skill of fortification, then what's an Unleakable Golden Body?
Feeling everything connected, Shen Qiang joyfully continued reading.
"Strengthening is prevalent in a cultivator's life and battle, a blade of grass, sufficiently fortified by True Yuan, can sever gold and iron. Flexible hair strands, sufficiently fortified by True Yuan, become indestructible. The only technique needed is solidification and refinement. The method isn't difficult..."
Shen Qiang's eyes instantly sparkled; solidification, refinement, as long as the fortification is in place, Unleakable Golden Body's strength is ten thousand, but if Shen Qiang's fist or sword is fortified to eighteen thousand, wouldn't one strike defeat the opponent?
Overjoyed, Shen Qiang focused intently, eagerly reading the various methods of using True Qi in the War God Jade Scroll, especially the fortification part, which fascinated Shen Qiang deeply, for this undefeated War God's cultivation mechanics outline and usage skills not only enlightened Shen Qiang, but also revealed another pathway to becoming a Supreme powerhouse.
