Chapter 929: Preaching the Martial Dao

The Martial Ancestor's Martial Dao also drew upon and borrowed from the fleshly bodies of the Sorcerer Race, which is why it became so powerful.

The only pity is that the Martial Ancestor's Martial Dao is only suited for the Innate Human Race of ancient times; it is indeed very difficult for the Acquired Human Race to achieve any results with that Martial Dao.

There is indeed a vast gap between the Innate Human Race and the Acquired Human Race in terms of their physical bloodlines.

According to the terminology of later science, it might be a difference in genes.

Su Fan actually obtained that kind of Martial Dao from Dayu as well; it is indeed quite excellent, even significantly more refined than the Nine Refinement Golden Body Art he practices.

However, upon attempting to practice it, Su Fan discovered that the Martial Ancestor's Martial Dao has such high requirements for the body that even though Su Fan's body has been developed to be very strong through practicing the Nine Refinement Golden Body Art, he still achieves half the results with double the effort when practicing this Martial Dao.

Even so, Su Fan's cultivation speed is still faster than the average person by an unknown margin.

At the very least, when Zhang Liang practices the Ancient Martial Dao, the gap between him and Su Fan is a full tenfold.

It is no wonder that the Ancient Martial Dao could not be continued.

With just this level of cultivation difficulty, how many people could succeed in practicing it? Zhang Liang's aptitude among the Human Race is already very high; his comprehension talent is powerful, and his physical talent can also be considered among the best.

But practicing this Ancient Martial Dao was as slow as a snail, so he gave it up.

Even if the Martial Dao is powerful and the fleshly body can destroy stars with a palm, so what? By the time he reached that level, if he had switched to practicing the Immortal Dao, he might have already achieved it.

Su Fan, on the other hand, persisted in practicing it.

Even though it is much slower and significantly more difficult than practicing the Nine Refinement Golden Body Art, he has been able to feel the changes in his body over these years.

Compared to the Nine Refinement Golden Body Art, this Ancient Martial Dao seems to develop the fleshly body even more strongly, and it seems his bloodline is also constantly strengthening, much like those Monster Race beings whose cultivation is essentially a continuous elevation of their bloodline.

Perhaps one day, he will be developed and evolved to the level of the ancient Innate Human Race.

One must know that Su Fan's bloodline was actually very weak at the beginning, perhaps not even as good as the bloodline of ordinary mortals in Jiuzhou.

It is just that through years of cultivation, his body has been tempered, and his bloodline has slowly improved a great deal.

To tell the truth, practicing the Immortal Dao is a process of evolution, a process of evolving into something non-human.

Those immortals and gods are sometimes Innate Divine, but the Human Race can also reach that level.

For example, the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi reincarnated as a human and was also an Acquired Human, though the Huaxu Clan is actually the direct bloodline of the Innate Human Race.

Human Emperor Fuxi became a Quasi-Saint, and his fleshly body also evolved to the level of an Innate Divine.

Immortal Dao and Martial Dao are actually both about developing the fleshly body; it is just that the former focuses on the primordial spirit, using the primordial spirit to temper the fleshly body, while the latter is about exercising the fleshly body, prioritizing the fleshly body and then nourishing the primordial spirit as a supplement.

There is no distinction of superiority or inferiority.

Perhaps the only difference is that the Ancient Martial Dao at its strongest only reaches Great Luo Peak, while the Immortal Dao passed down by immortals and gods may potentially head toward the Quasi-Saint level.

However, in reality, the Human Race has not reached that at all.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors followed the Dao of Emperors, not the Immortal Dao of preaching.

Perhaps the only orthodox human who reached the Quasi-Saint level is that Xuandu Dafa Shi.

Xuandu Dafa Shi, an Innate Human, was the first to take the Taiqing Saint of the Three Pure Ones as his master, becoming a Quasi-Saint powerhouse of the Human Race.

He followed the Immortal Dao and attained the Dao through the Taiqing Immortal Method.

It is just that Xuandu Dafa Shi does not have much of a relationship with the Human Race anymore.

Even back then, when the Human Race was in crisis, Xuandu Dafa Shi did not come out of the mountains, and in fact, he was not even as good as Zhenyuanzi Daxian.

You could explain it by saying he was in seclusion at the time, breaking through his realm.

However, as a member of the Human Race, being in seclusion when facing a human crisis is unjustifiable no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, the status of this Quasi-Saint within the Human Race is truly very low.

Sacrificial offerings are also very, very rare.

If it were not for the fact that he is a personal disciple of the Taiqing Saint, there might not even be any sacrificial offerings at all.

Of course, Xuandu Dafa Shi, as the number one person of the Human Race in the Immortal Dao, is indeed very powerful.

It is just a pity that the Immortal Dao is not so easy to walk either.

The humans in Nanzhan Buzhou follow the Immortal Dao, yet there are not many who have truly broken through to the Golden Immortal realm.

There is even less need to mention the Martial Dao; even the Acquired Martial Dao of Jiuzhou is not the mainstream.

Su Fan's proposal to spread the Martial Dao among these mortals is not impossible.

Of course, the Martial Dao he proposed is different from the Martial Dao in the armies of Jiuzhou; it is a Martial Dao he created after experiencing many worlds.

From low to high, the low is martial arts internal energy, and the high is Xuanhuan High Martial Arts, capable of splitting mountains and overturning seas.

In fact, this thing called internal energy is indeed very suitable for Nanzhan Buzhou; after cultivating to the Xiantian realm, one can also switch to practicing the Immortal Dao.

After all, this thing called internal energy can also be considered a type of Refining Essence into Qi in this world.

It is just that the Refining Essence into Qi of the Immortal Dao directly refines the Spirit Energy between heaven and earth, whereas internal energy is different.

But all paths lead to the same destination; once internal energy is converted into Xiantian True Qi, it becomes relatively much easier to switch to practicing the Immortal Dao.

However, wanting to reach the Xiantian realm is not that easy, yet practicing internal energy here in Nanzhan Buzhou is generally much easier than in martial arts worlds.

After all, there are many Spirit Herbs in heaven and earth.

Moreover, there are many wild beasts in Nanzhan Buzhou, which are all needed for practicing martial arts; as long as their strength increases, it is not impossible for Xiantian Martial Artists to surround and kill some low-level monsters.

And some low-level Spirit Herbs in the mountains that those practitioners of the Immortal Dao look down upon are treasures of heaven and earth for martial artists.

It is enough to allow many people to practice; they do not ask to be very powerful, but having a sliver of self-preservation ability is enough.

Moreover, this internal energy is not enough to threaten the rule of the various sects; after all, even if they cultivate to the Innate Realm, they cannot beat those disciples who are Refining Essence into Qi.

So these sects do not need to worry.

And after cultivating to the Xiantian realm, they can switch to practicing the Immortal Dao and take a master; this can also be considered providing some menial laborers for these sects, right?

This can also be considered killing two birds with one stone.

They can first spread it secretly; even if they are discovered by those sects, the other party probably will not say anything.

As long as it is not spreading the Immortal Dao, the higher-ups of those sects will not offend two powerhouses comparable to True Immortal Peak over this.

"This is not bad."

Zhang Liang nodded upon hearing this; he had actually witnessed Su Fan's internal energy Martial Dao, as Su Fan had also casually placed several steles, Martial Arts Steles, in a few cities over at the Qiyuan Sect.

Anyone could practice them.

Moreover, in those few years, quite a few people did indeed cultivate internal energy, and because the resources were good, a few people even cultivated to the Innate Realm.

It must be said that the talent of the Human Race here is quite good.

Although Martial Artists of the Innate Realm are far inferior to those Taoist Sect cultivators, they have enough power to protect themselves when facing some low-level spirits and monsters.
