Chapter 1720: Chapter 1327: White Clouds Leave No Trace, Falling Deeper Beyond the Cliff
"Neither wind nor banner nor heart, a lonely path relentlessly chased.
White clouds leave no trace, descending deeper into the abyss.
During your martial arts cultivation, by integrating your martial arts theories and systems, combined with the Heavenly Person’s Ultimate Skills ’Three Points Return to Essence Energy’ and ’Five Thunders Transformation Hand,’ you achieve insight, and under the collision of inspirations, Spiritual Rhinoceros becomes clear...
You have grasped deeper realms of martial arts secrets, perfecting and strengthening your Heavenly Person’s Ultimate Skill ’Great Strength Divine Skill’ in the process.
Your Heavenly Person’s Ultimate Skill ’Great Strength Divine Skill’ ascends to Returning to Truth Ultimate Skill ’Great Strength Divine Skill,’ all Heavenly Human Level special effects are upgraded to Returning to Truth Level special effects...
Incorporating parts of the ’Three Points Return to Essence Energy’ and ’Five Thunders Transformation Hand’ concepts, adding Returning True Level special effect 1 level Essence Qi Unification, adding Returning True Level special effect 1 level Unrivaled Divine Power, adding Returning True Level special effect 1 level Thunder Power Tempering Bone.
Your Qi-Blood increases by 100,000, Inner Strength increases by 100,000, every realm upgrade thereafter will increase Qi-Blood by 100,000 and Inner Strength by 100,000, special effect level +1, upon reaching Shocking the Ancient and Modern level will unlock additional special effects."
"You have created Returning to Truth Ultimate Skill ’Great Strength Divine Skill,’ having already created two Returning to Truth Ultimate Skills, you have obtained a rare title [A Generation Master], your Qi-Blood increases by 20,000, Inner Strength increases by 10,000.
In the state of [A Generation Master] title, your established faction will carry the [Martial Arts Holy Land] special effect, observe the specific impacts yourself."
Jiang Dali stands firmly with hands behind his back in the courtyard, his spirit has entered a realm of no victory nor defeat, to the utmost state of tranquility.
Originally, the surging Qi-Blood and Inner Strength after the Cultivation Technique enhancement gradually calms.
He slowly opens his eyes, electric arcs radiate, after a captivating flash of brilliance, he observes the prompts on the panel, savoring the feelings of this breakthrough, "If endlessly pursued along the path to the ultimate waiting point, white clouds inherently have no trace to seek. But if descending to the cliff, beyond there is an even deeper realm...
This means martial arts cultivation should not be forced nor rushed, avoiding delusions, but should proceed naturally, sometimes, changing perspectives is crucial.
"Wind does not move, banner does not move, it is the heart that moves," is already a profoundly advanced realm.
Yet within this profound realm, there is an even deeper realm.
This deeper realm is the ’true nature without trace’ of the white cloud... Creating a Returning to Truth realm martial art indeed proves to be very difficult."
This time, even Jiang Dali must admit, the path of self-creating martial arts truly tests one’s innate talent.
Even with his exceptional talents, he only possesses some advantages in the well-mastered Cross Training Martial Arts.
This allows him to historically combine insights from the ’Destructive Demon Body’ and the ’War God Chronicles,’ along with Wang Yuyan’s unique viewpoints, fortuitously creating the rare Returning to Truth Ultimate Skill ’Divine Demon Golden Body.’
And this time, facing ’Great Strength Divine Skill,’ which lacks the specialization in Cross Training Martial Arts, had he not timely absorbed some essentials from the ’Three Points Return to Essence Energy’ and ’Five Thunders Transformation Hand,’ he might not have collided inspirations making ’Great Strength Divine Skill’ more complete and powerful, almost causing the upgrade to fail.
"Now upgraded to Returning to Truth level ’Great Strength Divine Skill,’ not only is the potential stronger, the martial arts power is stronger, because it has integrated the principle of Three Qi Unification from the ’Three Points Return to Essence Energy,’ allowing me to flexibly maneuver three entirely different forces.
As I can unite the force of the Mighty Divine Fist with Divine Demon Essence Qi, with the power of the Dragon Subduing Divine Leg with War God’s Essence, and then combine with the Three Elements Demise’s force with Absorption Technique Qi...
The three fuse into one explosively released, the power within mystically changes and is extraordinarily formidable, making it impossible for enemies to resist.
Similarly, I can integrate the Thunder Refinement Skill in the Five Extremes Thunder Hand, quickly refining post Three Qi Unification, enabling my own power to operate at full strength driving body currents, stimulating bodily potential.
In an instant, exert physical power twice as the Three Qi Unification, this is the principle of Three Points Return to Essence Energy, seven parts relying on great strength..."
Jiang Dali internally assesses, after the enhancement of ’Great Strength Divine Skill,’ beyond the increase in Qi-Blood and Inner Strength.
Merely the newly gained special effects and power techniques have already notably enhanced his combat strength.
At this moment, with a thought, he easily perceives a vision in the state of utmost tranquility and peace, capturing a convoy a hundred feet away, clearly sensing Li Xiangfang inside the sedan chair.
"This woman... coming to find me now, what brings her here?"
Jiang Dali unwilling to waste valuable cultivation time, in dealings with this woman who deftly navigates social circles in Tang Country.
Ultimately, the only thing slightly piquing his interest from her is merely the repeatedly mentioned core inheritance quota of the Emperor’s Divine Fist.
As for him now, obtaining such a quota is not challenging.
Whether Tang Country’s Li Shimin or Ming Country’s Zhu Wushi...
At the worst, he directly approaches the Imperial Palace in the Divine Martial Country or Yuan Country, even the emperors of the vassal states should give him due respect, offering the quota to him.
Jiang Dali’s eyes burst with awe-inspiring brilliance, the Power of Primordial Spirit formed a ripple, shooting into Li Xiangfang’s beautiful eyes far away, then swiftly turning around, entering the house.
Inside the sedan chair a hundred feet away, Li Xiangfang’s previously calm and expectant heart surged with turbulent waves.
Reflecting on Jiang Dali’s familiar yet strangely awe-inspiring face seen at last night’s banquet, with its masculine charm and impressive contours, her Heart Lake rippled with intense waves, sighing inwardly ’things have changed.’
She could only order the enervated sedan chair bearers outside to get up swiftly and leave, as if merely passing through as strangers."
Once failed to lend timely support, and strongly invested in this person, even when meeting this now illustrious Great Village Chief several times, it was through a stand-in. Now it’s still normal to be strangers.
How could one expect the current Mighty King to take notice of her slender beauty and change her fate of being married off to a foreign land in the future?
...
Jiang Dali didn’t stay long in Tang Country.
After a brief conversation with Wan Wan, he left the next night, riding the Demon Dragon, headed straight for the Dragon Tiger Gang along the Yangtze River.
Now, a new wave of player armies is about to descend on the Mixed Martial Arts World.
During these few days, it is also the hot registration period for the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament.
Jiang Dali had already planned that during the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament, he would sit in the Dragon Tiger Gang to observe the grand events here.
When it comes to the largest territory among the many sub branches of Black Wind Village, it is undoubtedly the Dragon Tiger Gang, which was once the Power Gang’s location, and Divine Iron City, formerly known as Sword Casting City.
Following them are the former World Association Headquarters located on Heaven Mountain and the former Heavenly Gate location on Snow God Mountain.
But if we talk about the most convenient transportation and the place most likely to accommodate and absorb a large number of ordinary players, it has to be the Dragon Tiger Gang.
The Dragon Tiger Gang was built along the Yangtze River and, after expansion, has merged with the Yangtze Three Gorges Twelve Linked Piers Waterway, becoming the stance of the northern and southern gangs.
South is the Dragon, North is the Tiger, collectively called the North and South Dragon Tiger Gang. Its territory is vast and its commerce bustling, making it the most dazzling star in the vassal state’s Martial World.
With the developed water transport on the Yangtze River, a large number of Martial World people come from all over the world by boat every day, making the Dragon Tiger Gang’s daily traffic flow like the sea. In terms of liveliness, it surpasses Divine Iron City, where countless divine weapons are forged.
In recent times, with the increasing popularity of the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament name, a continued influx of players are galloping on horses or crossing the river by boat to come to the Dragon Tiger Gang location to register for the tournament, causing nearly 90% of the inns and restaurants around the Dragon Tiger Gang to be full.
Even under some bridges, there are down-and-out Martial World people and Beggar Gang disciples crowded together, sleeping on the ground like in a rat hole.
Some Art Houses are even more packed with guests every day, with quite a few Eight Desolate Disciples wearing hoods when they won’t spend ill-gotten gains and sneak out through the back door with empty pockets the next day.
When Jiang Dali arrived at the Dragon Tiger Gang’s own location, it was already evening.
The Demon Dragon danced in the sky above the Yangtze, like a strip of black luminescent band with a frigid luster under the twilight, showing elegant, noble, and unique brilliance amidst the vibrant clouds. It was hard not to attract attention, causing the already bustling streets to become more clamorous and uproarious.
Countless players and Martial World people craned their necks with admiration, reverence, and awe, witnessing this legendary figure returning with the Dragon, swiftly disappearing into the banned headquarters of the Dragon Tiger Gang, and immediately started chattering excitedly.
"It seems the Black Wind Village Chief has decided to stay at the Dragon Tiger Gang, but will he stay here to observe the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament that starts in three days?"
"For a strong figure of his power level, our player’s World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament doesn’t really count as anything, he could watch or not."
"The key is, another batch of new players is coming in tomorrow, and with Black Wind Village Chief’s friendly attitude towards Abnormal People, if he knows, he will definitely recruit new people swiftly, right?"
"Tomorrow this batch of new players is really lucky, they happen to catch the grand event of the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament. As long as they gather enough silver coins to register, even just walking on stage can earn them a hundred or two cultivation points and potential points, basically like paying to get stronger."
"Now, where would newbies, just entering Mixed Martial Arts, have any money? So, I’m ready to start reaping, take this opportunity to collect some interest."
...
While Black Wind Village is hosting a grand scale of activities in its sub branches spread across multiple vassal states, far away outside the beautiful, winding mountains resembling a deeply sleeping giant dragon in Han Country...
A batch of elite troops in ancient bronze armor arrived this day.
Even though these elite troops were on horseback, rushing to this place, it seemed they were escorting some cargo in the middle of the queue.
Upon closer inspection, the cargo was covered with a black tarpaulin, three zhang long, appearing quite heavy, pressing the wheels in deep ruts along the road.
Upon reaching the mountain entrance, the leading sword-wielding commander carefully examined a map in hand, then vigilantly scanned the vast forested mountain range resembling an Azure Dragon.
This mountain range stretches from north to south, extending beyond the distant borders of Han Country, connecting with Qin State.
Here is precisely the mountain entrance marked on the map entrusted to him by the Emperor...
