Chapter 68 Its Name—Battle Through the Heavens!
"master!"
"Greetings, Master!"
The boys quickly bowed respectfully.
Old Jack was both surprised and delighted, and at a loss for words, he asked a square-faced boy next to him:
"Young master, who was that gentleman just now...?"
The square-faced boy lowered his voice and said:
"That's Master Deng, a martial arts master who lives in seclusion here!"
"He's kind-hearted and willing to give free guidance to young people like us who want to learn martial arts."
A young man with a long face leaned over and added mysteriously:
"What reclusive master? My uncle serves in the army, and he said it himself. This is none other than the famous General Deng Jiugong!"
"Because he opposed King Zhou's construction of the Star-Picking Tower, he angered the emperor and was demoted, after which he lived in seclusion here!"
The square-faced boy sighed:
"Alas, this emperor has become increasingly... not only waging wars everywhere, but also nearly fighting with the East Sea Dragon Clan a few years ago, which led the Dragon King to complain to the Three Emperors of Fire Cloud Cave!"
"It seems that the construction of this Star-Picking Tower was solely for the purpose of apologizing to the Three Sovereigns..."
The horse-faced boy grimaced.
"Come on! What I heard was that the dragons deliberately withheld rain, and His Majesty wanted to bypass the dragons by asking the ancient cultivators to cast spells to bring rain..."
"shut up!"
A low shout interrupted the two.
A young man with a resolute face and a tall, upright figure strode over, his sharp gaze sweeping over the two talkative teenagers:
"How dare you speak ill of His Majesty! How many heads do you have?! Get back to your cultivation!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
The two men shrank back and quickly ran away.
The eldest brother turned to the still bewildered old Jack, his tone softening and carrying a hint of encouragement:
"Since the old man is interested in martial arts and the master has agreed, he can train with us from now on!"
"Don't underestimate this martial art. It was passed down by the Ancestor Daoist Venerable. It doesn't rely on external objects; it only cultivates one's own essence, energy, and spirit!"
"When you master it to a high level, its power to split mountains and shatter rocks, and to pluck stars and seize the moon, is no less than that of those immortal cultivation methods!"
His eyes gleamed with admiration as he whispered:
"His Majesty King Zhou of today is the number one martial artist among the human race!"
"It is said that His Majesty could subdue a tiger at the age of three and capture a dragon at the age of five. His martial arts cultivation is so profound that even a Golden Immortal might not be his match!"
Old Jack was deeply moved and immediately bowed:
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother! I will definitely learn diligently!"
Deng Jiugong and the others were unaware of the existence of the sky curtain.
Thus, as Old Jack delved deeper into his studies, he progressed from refining his Qi and blood to developing the body's spiritual resources.
This complete martial arts system, originating from the primordial human race, was displayed without reservation to all living beings on the Douluo Continent through the sky.
At first, most people didn't take it seriously.
Most people naturally assume that ordinary people wielding swords and spears can't possibly have any real skill.
It's all just for show.
Many people even scoffed at old Jack for overestimating himself, thinking that an old man who was halfway to the grave could possibly develop some skills.
But after seeing the old man gesturing outside the wall for half a month,
When his blood and qi surged and he successfully established his foundation... everyone was stunned!
Then I heard what the senior brother said.
This martial art was actually created by the Daoist Master for the human race, and it does not rely on massive amounts of resources.
The only goal is to refine one's own essence, energy, and spirit, and to develop the body's spiritual resources.
Everyone can learn it, everyone can practice it...
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the entire Douluo Continent instantly boils over!
Haotian Sect.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Fifth Elder Tang Chuan exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row, his beard trembling with excitement.
He had just followed the instructions of that senior brother and circulated his energy for several cycles.
He then felt the bottleneck that had stagnated for many years begin to loosen, and as his blood and qi surged, there was even a sign of a breakthrough!
"This cultivation technique... it's practically tailor-made for my Haotian Sect! A stroke of luck from heaven! A stroke of luck from heaven indeed!"
Compared to Old Jack, the Haotian Sect members had higher cultivation levels and more refined control over their soul power and physical bodies.
In addition, he has practiced his self-created soul skills, such as the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, for many years.
His physical foundation and power generation techniques far surpass those of ordinary people.
Having acquired this primordial martial arts,
It felt like everything had fallen into place naturally, and the results were twice as good with half the effort!
"May the spirit of our former sect leader protect us! With such divine power, given time, our Haotian Sect will surely reign supreme once again!"
The second elder was so moved that he could not contain his emotions and tears streamed down his face.
"That Shui Zhantian only managed to launch a sneak attack and kill Seventh Brother because he relied on the cultivation technique that Shui Bing'er brought back from the prehistoric world!"
"Now... they have the destiny to become immortals, and we have the way of martial arts!"
He surveyed the crowd, his voice resolute:
"Issue the order: all disciples of the Haotian Sect must practice this skill every day from this day forward!"
"Those who are diligent and achieve success will be richly rewarded! Those who are lazy and negligent... will be expelled from the sect!"
In an instant, the gloom over the entire Haotian Sect was swept away.
Regardless of whether they were from the inner or outer sect, all disciples were immersed in this unprecedented martial arts training.
The Star Luo Empire, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Dai Tianfeng had just finished practicing a complete set of the most basic body-strengthening boxing techniques with Old Jack in the sky.
I felt my internal energy and blood had noticeably increased.
A warm current flowed through my limbs and bones.
He couldn't help but throw a punch, creating a sonic boom in the air!
"Hahahaha! Great! Ingenious!!"
Dai Tianfeng burst into laughter, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, all the pent-up frustration of the past few days vanished.
"This is divine favor upon my Xingluo! Issue my decree—"
"From this day forward, the Fundamentals of Primordial Martial Arts transmitted by the Heavenly Curtain will be designated as a compulsory skill for the Empire! It will be implemented nationwide, with priority given to the military, compulsory in academies, and encouraged among the general public!"
"Imperial officials at all levels must do their utmost to supervise this matter; I want to see tangible results!"
"Anyone who achieves success in cultivating this method, regardless of their background, will be granted a noble title and rewards by me!"
"This is the foundation of a strong nation and the basis of a strong military; no one may slacken their efforts!"
He felt incredibly happy.
These days, I've watched as Shui Bing'er, Ning Rongrong, and others have all found opportunities in the prehistoric world, which has led to a surge in the strength of their respective forces.
Moreover, the most recent entrants are either from the Heaven Dou or the Spirit Hall.
In contrast, not a single person from Xingluo was selected!
Dai Tianfeng was already extremely anxious.
Every day, they could only exaggerate the various "miserable" experiences encountered by the selected Heavenly Battle warriors in the prehistoric world.
This was done to comfort the people and stabilize their hearts.
Now, we've finally gotten our first real slice of the "cake" from the sky!
In the Star Luo Empire, every citizen is a soldier; regardless of age or gender, everyone has some level of military combat skills.
With this foundation, one can then switch to martial arts techniques.
It's definitely countless times faster than the Heaven Dou Empire!
"One quick step leads to quick progress in everything!"
Dai Tianfeng gazed intently in the direction of Tiandou.
"The day will come to surpass the Heavenly Battle! The rise of Star Luo... begins with this martial path!"
"Your Majesty, this cultivation technique is indeed excellent, but it seems to be quite taxing!"
"Your Majesty, this technique is excellent, but the energy consumption is truly staggering."
Duke Youming finished his practice and began to regulate his breathing; a distinct feeling of hunger was rising in his stomach.
"If this were to be implemented across the military, I fear the national treasury would be in jeopardy..."
What he said was indeed true.
The human race was created by Lin Feng based on the divine body of Pangu, and its potential is limitless.
The core of the martial art he passed down lies in cultivating one's own essence, energy, and spirit, and exploring the Dao within the human body.
In theory, it does not depend on many external things.
The hunger experienced in the early stages was mainly due to insufficient cultivation.
In the primordial world, spiritual energy was abundant, and one could replenish what was consumed simply by breathing exercises during cultivation.
Once one cultivates to the Golden Core realm and forges a "leak-free golden body," this kind of trouble will no longer exist.
But in the Douluo Continent, where spiritual energy is scarce...
This initial expenditure becomes a very real and unavoidable problem.
Dai Tianfeng pondered for a moment:
"Then let's launch the Soul Hunting Operation! Sunset Forest and the ocean can both be my hunting grounds."
The Snow Empress and Gu Yuena, the rulers of the far north and the Star Dou Great Forest, are quite powerful in the prehistoric world, and he is unwilling to provoke them for the time being.
The sunset over the forest and the ocean doesn't receive as much attention.
In an instant, the two great empires, the Spirit Hall, and various sects were all swept up in a frenzy of cultivation due to this sudden emergence of martial arts techniques.
The realm of gods is no exception.
Many deities who ascended from the lower realms possessed considerable combat skills.
When they looked through the sky and saw the system called martial arts,
It even provides a detailed explanation of the application of force in various weapons such as swordsmanship, spearmanship, and staffmanship.
When exerting force or even capturing the essence of the moment, one cannot help but feel immensely surprised!
"Wonderful! It turns out that the speed aspect of the Flowing Light Sword Technique that I created back then has such a wonderful use here!"
"The spear moves like a dragon, its power concentrated at the tip... This technique of generating power is far superior to what I've figured out myself!"
"As expected of the Daoist Master's teachings! It encompasses eternal treasures and points directly to the origin!"
The gods in the divine realm are much more adept at cultivation than the soul masters in the lower realms.
They have a deep foundation; with a little guidance...
They can then combine their divine power with martial arts skills to unleash even greater power.
Of course, they misunderstood something.
These are the eighteen kinds of martial arts, including swords, spears, and staffs, which were taught by Deng Jiugong.
Essentially, it still falls under the category of "techniques," which are applied skills derived from the foundation of martial arts.
Playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses, and taking unconventional approaches, all focus on technique.
This cannot be considered the Way!
However, it has already formed its own school of thought, and some people have begun to study the use of knives, spears, and clubs as a means of spiritual practice.
"Hehe, very good! With this martial arts enhancement, the overall strength of my God Realm will surely reach a new level! At that time, our chances of conquering that other world will be even greater!"
The evil god-king sensed that the gods' strength was increasing rapidly after they began practicing martial arts, and he was filled with pride.
"Just a barbaric world that has never seen the world... They may be stronger than us, but so what? They are just frogs in a well."
"You only deserve to become the foundation of my divine realm!"
The God of Destruction gazed at the gradually calming spatial storm and the thinning spatial barrier, his eyes burning with fervor.
...
Daoyuan Hall.
Zhunti, with Tang San in tow, bid farewell with satisfaction and prepared to head to the Heavenly Court to finalize the details of the Journey to the West with the Golden Spirit Mother.
The hall returned to tranquility.
Lin Feng held a cup of tea, his gaze fixed on the endless void, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.
Shui Bing'er, who had been standing quietly to the side for a long time, had many questions piling up in her mind.
The conversation between Lin Feng and Zhunti just now, especially the parts involving celestial secrets, was obscured and could not be heard clearly.
However, she still managed to glean quite a few fragmented pieces of information, which she felt were deeply connected to the Douluo Continent.
She hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly:
"Grandmaster, when I left the Douluo World earlier, I vaguely sensed an unfamiliar and vast aura approaching... like another world?"
"Then, is this the calamity of the heavens that you and the senior mentioned?"
She looked up and asked the question that had been weighing on her mind:
Will countless worlds... be engulfed in war because of this?
Lin Feng withdrew his wandering gaze, looked at her, smiled slightly, and spoke in a calm yet earth-shattering tone:
"good."
"That's also a world."
Its name—
"Battle Through the Heavens!"
