I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?
Chapter 452: Legendary Martial Arts Door_2Su Lingxiu reached out to grab Little Ha, but Little Ha moved and hid behind Fang Hao’s neck.
“Senior Sister, Little Ha is shy.”
Fang Hao said with an embarrassed smile.
“Shy, huh.”
Su Lingxiu squinted her eyes and pulled out a few medicinal pills.
“Little Ha, see what this is?”
Little Ha popped its head out from behind Fang Hao’s neck. Its bright eyes fixated on the medicinal pills in Su Lingxiu’s fair palm, displaying its desire.
“You want it? Come and get it if you do.”
Su Lingxiu beckoned with her finger.
Little Ha watched eagerly, but didn’t dare to approach.“So timid, huh.”
Su Lingxiu pinched a medicinal pill and tossed it over.
Little Ha opened its mouth and swallowed the pill. Not long after, its eyes began to sparkle, and it almost drooled.
“You can come and get some if you want.”
Su Lingxiu squinted her eyes.
Despite its hesitation, Su Lingxiu threw another pill. After eating two pills, Little Ha grew brave, unable to resist the temptation, and hopped onto Su Lingxiu’s palm, softly chirping.
Fang Hao was a bit dumbfounded, for he never expected the medicinal pills to be so tempting that Little Ha would unprecedentedly approach someone other than him.
Seeing this, Red Cat quickly became anxious.
It rubbed its head against Su Lingxiu’s leg and meowed.
“Red Cat wants some too, huh.”
Su Lingxiu played with Little Ha and Red Cat, feeding them one pill after another.
Li Xuan held the Jade Ruyi in one hand and leisurely headed towards the mountain outside the manor, with the other hand behind his back.
Fang Hao followed closely behind him.
Standing on top of the mountain, overlooking the majestic Zheng capital, Li Xuan slowly asked, “Fang Hao, what do you think of the Spiritual Realm Martial Way World?”
Fang Hao was taken aback. Not sure why his master was asking, he pondered before replying, “The spiritual realm places high importance on the hierarchy of respect. The Spirit sects and aristocratic families look down upon weak cultivators.
“Everyone wants to be a member of the spirit sects and noble families, even if they are of low birth or were once lone cultivators. Once they become a member, they won’t show any courtesy to lone cultivators, regardless of their past. This is the malady of the Spiritual Realm Martial Way World.”
In the end, Fang Hao raised his head and said, “Master, I always thought this is the flaw of the Spiritual Realm Martial Way World. Although I also want to establish an aristocratic family, I have no desire to create one like the current ones.”
Li Xuan was slightly surprised and asked, “Is your current dream to establish a respected noble family or to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts?”
Fang Hao took a deep breath and said, “After learning about formations, noble families are no longer my dream. I want to pursue the essence of martial arts, to develop a martial arts system, to promote the brilliance of formations, and to become an indelible monument in the history of martial arts!”
In that moment, Fang Hao had a firm look in his eyes; he had discovered his true dream.
His slightly chubby face was solemn and determined.
“Very good!”
Li Xuan nodded and said slowly, “I teach principles, not methods. You must remember that you need to grasp the principle and carve your own path.
“The mystical martial arts encapsulate formations, artifact refining, forbidden artifacts, and more. What I teach you are the principles, and all methods are embodied within the principles.
“Should you wish to learn any formation, meditate on what you need fromwithin the principles. The same goes for forbidden artifacts, artifact refining, grand formations of heavens and earth…”
Before imparting the mystical martial arts to Fang Hao, Li Xuan solemnly told him his way of teaching: he only taught principles!
“Yes, Master!”
Fang Hao was thrilled.
“This is the proper transmission of the principles, not just passing down the concrete methods. The master wishes his disciple to eventually carve his own path!”
In Fang Hao’s eyes, his master suddenly seemed incredibly legendary.
“Now, listen carefully to the mystical martial arts…”
Li Xuan’s expression turned serious as he began to teach Fang Hao the mystical martial arts.
The Daoist Golden Book opened above the soul pedestal. Techniques pertaining to the Mystical Martial Arts emerged.
Li Xuan, word by word, sentence by sentence, transmitted everything about the Mystical Martial Arts, including its theories and basic methods, to Fang Hao.
Fang Hao listened intently with a solemn expression, fearful of missing even a single word.
“This is the mystical martial arts – it’s so mysterious, so profound. How should I comprehend it?”
The more he heard, the more astonished Fang Hao felt.
The mystical martial arts were far too enigmatic and profound.
Even the basics were extremely difficult to grasp and he didn’t even know how to start practicing.
“…Fang Hao, have you memorized it?”
Li Xuan asked in a deep voice after imparting the Qimen martial arts.
“Master, your disciple has memorized it.”
Fang Hao responded respectfully.
Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. The fact that his disciple could remember after being taught once was a testament to the natural talent he expected of his apprentice.
“Previously, I taught you the bewildering array, which is a small formation that you are now familiar with. Today, I will teach you the rest of the formations for you to delve into. The Way of the Array is profound and unpredictable, and not limited to the formations I teach you. You must use this as a foundation and center around array techniques to explore and innovate formations on your own.
“The same applies to restrictions and artifact refining. I have also taught you about the patterns of Qimen, the phenomena of heaven and earth, and so on.
“None of them are eternally fixed, as long as you understand the meaning behind them. Once you understand one method, all others will become clear, and you could easily manipulate formations and restrictions.
“Apply different formations and restrictions depending on the environment.
“Just like your third senior sister who is skilled in the way of medicinal pills. She can concoct any pill naturally, and even create new ones if necessary.
“This is because your senior sister has comprehended the Tao of medical pills.
Fang Hao bowed with reverence and solemnity, stating, “Yes, Master, I will not let you down!”
“Good. Now look carefully. This is the diagram for nine major formations.”
Li Xuan gave a nod of approval.
In the blink of an eye, his divine intent surfaced and depicted diagrams of nine major formations in mid-air.
Fang Hao watched carefully, but the formation diagrams were so complicated and profound that it was not easy for him to remember them all.
Unless he had comprehended the Qimen martial arts and established a foundation in array techniques, it would be nearly impossible to memorize the formation diagrams in such a short time.
Li Xuan understood this.
“How much have you remembered?”
A moment later, Li Xuan asked.
With a look of embarrassment, Fang Hao replied, “Forgive my stupidity, Master. I could only remember half of the array diagram.”
“Being able to remember half is good enough. Work hard and study the Qimen martial arts carefully.”
Li Xuan looked rather disappointed.
“When I have some free time, I will draw the array diagrams for you to study in detail. Once you understand the methods of Qimen martial arts, only then you can comprehend the mysteries of array techniques.”
“Yes, Master, I will surely try my best and not let you down!”
Fang Hao responded resolutely.
“In the pursuit of enlightenment, one must be adaptable and not persistent. If you obsess too much, you might get the opposite of what you want.”
Li Xuan cautioned.
Fang Hao felt a shudder in his heart and respectfully replied, “Yes, Master, I understand!”
“Good, reflect on it carefully.”
Li Xuan nodded, turned around, and left leisurely.
Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, he thought, “Now that the Qimen martial arts have been transmitted, I’m waiting for the results. How long will it take for Fang Hao to comprehend it?
“The cultivation of Qimen martial arts is not the same as regular martial arts. I wonder how Fang Hao will comprehend it and what method he will use to initiate his cultivation.”
In Li Xuan’s eyes, anticipation flared.
Fang Hao sat in meditation on the mountain peak, with the Qimen martial arts emerging in his mind, constantly probing its mysteries.
The more he pondered, the more he found it profound.
This was different from regular martial arts. It was a unique school that completely surpassed his understanding of martial arts.
“Artifact refining, array techniques, restrictions, Qimen mysteries, phenomena of heaven and earth…”
In Fang Hao’s mind, techniques of Qimen martial arts emerged one by one.
The diagram of the formation presented itself in his mind.
The theories and framework of artifact refining also gradually appeared.
Most importantly, the initiation of Qimen martial arts cultivation filled him with a profound sense of mystery, as he found no way to enter.
“How do I initiate into Qimen martial arts? The cultivation techniques I’ve learned cannot employ the Qimen techniques, and the cultivation of Qimen martial arts is not cultivation as usual…”
Fang Hao took a deep breath, opened his eyes and looked at the sprawling distant city of Zheng. The magnificent city, like a giant beast, lay spread across the land.
“This is my chance. I want to become a Qimen martial artist. I want to explore the pinnacle of Qimen martial arts and make a name for myself in martial arts history… Whether it is the Spirit Sect or noble families, they will be insignificant compared to me!”
At this moment, Fang Hao had found his life goal with unwavering resolution.
The Spirit Sect and noble families looked down upon everyone, yet how many of them had vanished into oblivion throughout history? Some even didn’t leave a name behind.
He wanted his name to echo through the ages, and aspired to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
The chance to change his fate was at hand, and he knew he had to grasp it no matter what!
