Chapter 155: Different People, Different Paths

Meng Qi came out to crack jokes, but Zhang Xuan still came over to explain things carefully.

Zhang Xuan: 【It is actually not that difficult; in fact, the standards are not that high.】

According to normal circumstances, natural-born heroes like Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun could meet this standard, as could the Sword Saint and Wu Ming. However, the top-tier Origin of figures required for the Indestructible Heavenly Art and the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art is not just a single-digit number, but must be calculated in the thousands and tens of thousands. If you truly want to advance by leaps and bounds like me, your world probably cannot support it.】

Zhang Xuan had not carefully considered such questions before. Now, analyzing it closely, he discovered that the Indestructible Heavenly Art is indeed truly effective and useful only for characters in the Zhetian World; for characters in low-end worlds, methods like the Indestructible Heavenly Art are completely unsuitable.

Zhang Xuan: 【And after absorbing the Origin of those figures, the ceiling you reach in your world will not be very high, and your cultivation of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art will not reach a very profound level. Rather than learning from me, it is better to learn the methods from Meng Qi's world, or learn the methods left behind by Fengyun Wuji.】

They are of the same origin and species as you, all belonging to the category of martial arts cultivation. There are no major problems with leveling up, and it is also very fast to practice. Someone like me is not very suitable for you.】

Xiong Ba was somewhat disappointed. He had practiced martial arts, so of course he knew what the situation of practicing martial arts was like.

It requires bit-by-bit progress and bit-by-bit advancement. Someone like Zhang Xuan advancing by leaps and bounds to such a degree in less than a year is what makes people envious; practicing martial arts honestly has too little future.

He felt a bit uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Zhang Sanfeng, who was in the Legend of Sword and Fairy, was lost in thought at this moment.

The foundation of his lifelong cultivation was martial arts. After arriving in the Xianjian World, he had encountered more profound martial arts, but they did not seem to be profound to a very high degree.

The truly powerful ones were still the methods of Shushan, so he had been cultivating on Shushan during these days.

Shushan also belongs to the Daoist school and shares the same lineage as him, but he always felt that it did not quite match himself when practicing.

The ethereal Immortal Qi is indeed good, but pure martial arts cultivation seems to suit him better.

His talent in Daoist cultivation is also supreme. After all, having lived for over a hundred years, he had seen all kinds of things in life, and he could be considered to have picked up and put down things like the matter with Guo Xiang.

When the Sword Saint saw him, he was amazed, believing that he was the most suitable for practicing the methods of Shushan.

But Zhang Sanfeng still hoped to have deeper insights into the path of martial arts and walk his own road.

After all, he established his sect based on martial arts. If he were to bring all his many disciples to the Xianjian World in the future and they learned the methods of Shushan,

wouldn't that completely cause his own methods to vanish into thin air?

He still wanted to walk the path of martial arts and have some attainments in it.

Now, hearing Zhang Xuan's words, his heart stirred immediately.

Zhang Sanfeng: 【After the little friend's strength and realm improved, your vision became extraordinary. A few words have made this old Daoist suddenly enlightened.】

Zhang Sanfeng thanked him earnestly.

Fengyun Wuji did not speak; he only silently exchanged for the Heavenly Venerable-explained version of the Eight-Nine Profound Art in the Chat Group. He did not exchange for the scripture itself, only the essence explained by the Heavenly Venerable.

At the same time, he also exchanged for the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art as explained by Qingdi, likewise without exchanging for the relevant scriptures.

Zhang Xuan was shocked to see this.

Zhang Xuan: 【@Fengyun Wuji, you are too strong, right? Don't you need to cultivate? Why don't you exchange for the full scriptures, but instead exchange for these explained versions?】

Fengyun Wuji in the Sacred Hall smiled slightly.

Fengyun Wuji: 【I discovered that my previous thinking was too narrow. My current strength and realm are too low; I have no way to directly create the most top-tier methods out of thin air.

Directly exchanging for the most top-tier methods from other worlds might be useful, but there is also a possibility of encountering a situation of being unacclimated.

Even if I can cultivate them personally, for the many people of the Human Race in Taigu, I fear it might not necessarily be a viable path. The paths cultivated by the many figures of Taigu must still be a path carved out from the tens of millions of methods in the Sacred Hall.

Regarding the fate of my world that the Group Owner showed me before, I feel that the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art and the One Year Body Strengthening Method are not perfect enough, and they will eventually lead to the path of the Main God, which is not complete.

But thinking about it now, these two methods were bestowed upon me by the destiny of this world in the dark. The path I walk along these two methods is what is more suitable for the many people of the Human Race in Taigu.

It is not good to directly borrow other methods. Rather than that, it is better to borrow the essence left behind by the creators of the methods, to grasp the meaning and forget the form...

Moreover, the path I walked in my original fate might not be perfect enough, but it has already taken me a very long distance. As long as I don't think about achieving the Main God, then with my original cultivation method and foundation, I can absorb and learn.

I can have a great advantage in establishing methods. In this way, going to learn the methods of other worlds, I think I should be able to walk a different path.】

This long paragraph was typed out without a pause; it was obvious that Fengyun Wuji had been thinking for a long time.

Zhang Xuan was extremely surprised, even carrying a sense of envy.

Such a path is a path to the heavens for many people.

Even for characters from any world, it is a path to the heavens.

In the Zhetian World, there are no two Great Emperors who are exactly the same. One path can only achieve one Great Emperor; those who come later need to independently create another method to achieve the status of Great Emperor.

Even if there are scriptures left behind by the previous Great Emperor, walking along the path of those scriptures, it is impossible to produce an invincible person.

Not only in the Zhetian World is there such a standard; other worlds also have such standards. Being able to create a brand-new method, as the creator of a method, is what counts as a true Grandmaster-level figure.

Not to mention too far, there are people in the Chat Group who have achieved this.

Zhang Sanfeng once achieved this. He had learned the top-tier methods of Shaolin and also learned quite a few from other martial arts sects, but the method he finally created was the Wudang Pure Yang Skill.

It removed the imprints of others and contained only Zhang Sanfeng's own experience and insights. Discussing solely the method created by Zhang Sanfeng, the Pure Yang Infinite Skill can also be counted as one of the top-tier methods in the martial arts world.

In Zhetian, Yaoguang Shengzi, who was able to fight Ye Fan until the end, was also because he did not create his own path; in the end, even after cultivating the Chaos Body, he had no way to achieve the status of Great Emperor.

He just could not jump out of the methods of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

However, regarding such a matter as Fengyun Wuji's, although Zhang Xuan was very envious, he did not intend to try it himself, just like how Xiong Ba was very envious of Zhang Xuan's cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds very quickly before.

Xiong Ba was envious and wanted to imitate, but he could not learn it at all. If he wanted to walk, he must walk another path, to learn the methods of the World of the First-Class Venerable or learn the methods belonging to the world of Ascension After left behind by Fengyun Wuji.

Those methods are of the same lineage as him and are even higher-level; they are all top-tier martial arts methods left behind by one person after another who achieved Martial Arts Shattering the Void. They are very compatible with a martial arts world like Xiong Ba's, and practicing them can save a lot of trouble.

That is the advantage of Xiong Ba and Zhang Sanfeng.

And Fengyun Wuji's path is very difficult for others to walk, because Fengyun Wuji can be considered the Child of Destiny of the entire Taigu and even the entire world of Ascension After; in terms of comprehension, he is basically maxed out.

Among the tens of millions of methods in the Taigu Sacred Hall, he can use his intuition and aura to find the two most powerful methods, and both are relatively perfect. Whether it is the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art or the Mind Sword Body Great Method, they both belong to the top-tier in Taigu.

Then Fengyun Wuji was able to continuously perfect them based on the Mind Sword Body Great Method, creating the division of the primordial spirit into three, completely separating the good thoughts, evil thoughts, and the original body.

The one true original body that was separated has no distinction between good and evil, only pure rationality, and that cultivation speed is simply like that of a Main God.

Fengyun Wuji is a person who is naturally cheating in terms of comprehension; others simply cannot compare.

Wanting to learn from him, others simply cannot do it.

And Zhang Xuan's advantage, Zhang Xuan is very clear about.

"My advantage is that I can easily shuttle between different worlds and harvest powerful Origin, while at the same time, I am in the Zhetian World, naturally possessing the relevant rules within the Zhetian World."

Cultivating within the Zhetian World, the Indestructible Heavenly Art and Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art are quite easy, with no threshold; with the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and Indestructible Heavenly Art as the core, in this piece of heaven and earth, my growth speed is the most suitable for me, and also the fastest.

And if future Chat Group members want to reasonably and quickly improve their own cultivation, they also need to utilize the differences between different worlds, pinpoint their own advantages, and then complement each other's advantages."

Zhang Xuan had a slight epiphany in his heart at this moment, but he did not speak it out directly.

And at this time, Qingdi, who had been silent and rarely bubbled up in the Chat Group, suddenly came online.

Qingdi: 【@Fengyun Wuji, what the little friend said is very good. Grasping the advantages of one's own world and then absorbing the merits of other worlds to walk out a Tongtian Dao; after reading ten thousand kinds of scriptures, then absorbing and learning them to create a technique suitable for oneself and suitable for one's own world—this is the true and proper Tongtian Dao.】

Zhang Xuan looked at this passage and could not help but roll his eyes.

For figures like Qingdi and Fengyun Wuji whose comprehension is unparalleled in heaven and earth, it is of course appropriate to walk out a path suitable for themselves early on.

But Zhang Xuan considers his own talent and comprehension not too outstanding; he is able to achieve magnificent results because he is standing on the shoulders of giants.

"I don't need to have the top-tier wisdom like these figures and walk on the correct path from the very beginning; I just need to move forward step by step according to the current rhythm."

"At the very least, if there are no major problems with the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and Indestructible Heavenly Art, I can cultivate normally without illness or disaster. When I reach the stage of Alternative Enlightenment, it will be fine to absorb ten thousand kinds of Origin to achieve the Chaos Body, or finding a way to walk other paths is also not bad; there is no need to be like you all."

In any case, Zhang Xuan does not feel ashamed to move forward along the paths of predecessors; he thinks it is quite reasonable.

There is a convenient path to walk, so why not walk it?

"When I reach the true Great Emperor realm, have seen the ten thousand kinds of scenery in the world, and have seen different techniques, it will be enough to create a technique suitable for me then. This is my path.

I am just an ordinary person, I won't consider so much."

Zhang Xuan has a very clear understanding of this; his advantage is possessing the most top-tier techniques, and he can also utilize the complementary advantages between different worlds, so cultivating techniques like the Indestructible Heavenly Art leads to rapid progress.

If he were to cultivate the Eight-Nine Profound Art or the Mind Sword Body Great Method step by step, his speed would be much slower.

Zhang Xuan does not want that.

He has always believed that there are many things one does not understand at a low realm, but if one looks back at the past while standing at a higher realm, one can understand.

Standing at realms like the Wheel Sea or Dao Palace, no matter how high one's talent and aptitude are, the techniques created will be much worse, and the scenery seen will also be much worse.

And standing in the Quasi-Emperor Realm or at that stage of Alternative Enlightenment, looking back at the past to create a technique suitable for one's own cultivation is much easier.

At the same time, at such a stage, one also has enough self-preservation power and will not die easily.

In a universe like Beidou or Zhetian, one will have enough capital to settle down.

As for the time and life span that limit people from creating techniques, he is not lacking; after all, with the strength and level he will reach in the future, he can live for long years in other worlds, and with strength at the level of Alternative Enlightenment or Quasi-Emperor, he can also occupy a not-so-small area in other worlds.

"Moreover, the most critical point is that Yaoguang reached the stage of Alternative Enlightenment but had no way to break through to Great Emperor; on one hand, it was because he did not absorb the complete Origin, and it is very likely that he lacked the Saint Body, while I have already supplemented it perfectly at this stage.

On the other hand, it might be that an Enlightened One had already attained the Dao in this piece of heaven and earth, which might cause him some problems, but for me, it is not much of a problem. If I cannot become a Great Emperor in this heaven and earth, I can still go to other heavens and earths."

He thought through and understood all the thoughts in his heart.

Zhang Xuan felt his life's cultivation and strength become even more transparent.

Thinking of the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid to be refined before long.

Zhang Xuan took the initiative to talk to Qingdi again.

Zhang Xuan: 【@Qingdi, Big Boss, you finally bubbled up! I have been using your signboard with the Demon Race and am getting along well now. Furthermore, I have exchanged for the remains of a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body from the Demon Race. Now I want to carry out the next step of action, wanting to unite the Demon Race and other powerful races to go into the Forbidden Zone to obtain powerful Divine Substance and refine the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid. I wonder if the Great Emperor can provide some help in this regard.

If the Great Emperor walks in the universe and starry sky and encounters treasures with powerful Divine Substance, such as the Taichu Life Stone, can you bring some back? I am willing to exchange them with many points. If you need Undying Divine Medicine, I can also get one for the Great Emperor.】
