Chapter 894: Martial Arts Way Realm

As time passed, Heng Xiangguang felt more and more unable to oppress Mo Wen. He gradually grew anxious.

At first, he had expected to defeat Mo Wen easily. He had the upper hand throughout the entire battle. Yet, at this moment, the certainty he had felt grew more and more distant. He even had a niggling thought that he would be unable to defeat Mo Wen no matter what.

“Such a startling change has happened to him in just one battle!” Sword Addict White Dust’s expression was grave as he stared at Mo Wen. He could sense that Mo Wen was getting stronger and stronger and that he was constantly growing. This strength was not that of cultivation but one that happened to his internal quality., For example, as a young person grows older over time, he would eventually become an experienced and wise elder. That was an accumulation of growth made step by step and a process of moving from youth to maturity.

Ordinary people would take their whole lives to complete this process. However, Mo Wen managed to complete all of that during one battle.

What did Mo Wen understand and what did he learn? What kind of metamorphosis had occurred to his soul? No one other than Mo Wen knew. However, it was a martial arts height that not even White Dust was able to touch. He only knew that what Mo Wen had understood and sensed was definitely extraordinary.

“What a terrifying youth! I am now very curious about what extent he can grow to in the future!”

The elder who was surrounded by criminals breathed in deeply. It was undeniable that he was thoroughly shocked by the young man’s amazing talent. What seemed impossible had happened right before his eyes.

“He is very talented. If there are no accidents, it will not be a problem for him to become an immortal. However, that is not the only reason for him to be able to take this step.”

A figure appeared by the elder’s side silently and without any prior warning. It was as if he had appeared from nowhere. Furthermore, none of the many criminals who surrounded the elder seemed to have noticed him.

The elder’s expression stiffened when he realized that a person ] had appeared beside him suddenly. Someone had managed to get so close to him so silently and abruptly. Before he could even react, a familiar aura entered his mind...

“My Lord!”

The elder’s body stiffened suddenly, and he stood up hurriedly from the ground and bowed respectfully. He was very reverent and deferential like a slave before his master.

“It was said that someone from the hidden martial arts strain has appeared. Something major has happened, and I could not help it but come and take a look,” the mysterious figure said lightly.

What was odd was that the people around him seemed not to see him. No one noticed him, and they all treated him as if he were air.

The elder knew that his lord did not want anyone to know who he was. As such, the elder did not make a fuss either, and he only lowered his head and waited respectfully.

“I went to the Cold Pool Valley on the way here. I found that the person in the valley was dead. He must have died a few days ago,” the mysterious figure said.

“What! The person at the Cold Pool Valley is dead?” The elder almost yelled in shock. According to their earlier predictions, that man would have been able to live for another 100 years. Why had he died so quickly? He knew what kind of person the man at the Cold Pool Valley was. Other than his lord and a few other men, there was no one else in the entire Heart of the Red Stone Forest who would dare to provoke him.

“According to my observations, the death of that man has something to do with that young man in challenge ring 49. I have found the man’s aura on the young man,” the mysterious figure said. He slowly turned to look at challenge ring 49, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

“Something to do with that young man? How is that possible!” An incredulous look flashed through the elder’s eyes. Had that young man killed the ferocious devil in the Cold Pool Valley? That was practically a fairy tale!

“As for what happened exactly, I fear that no one else other than him knows. However, the man’s legacy has appeared in the young man’s body. It is impossible for that to escape me.”

Even the mysterious figure was filled with shock when he found out about the matter. Something must have happened between the two, or the man’s legacy would not have appeared in the young man. Furthermore, if Mo Wen had simply killed the man by ordinary means, he would not be able to receive the man’s legacy. Something secret must have happened between the two.

“The young man has received that man’s legacy! So that is it! So that is it...”

The elder immediately understood several things when he heard that. No wonder the young man was able to understand the profound aura at such a young age. Furthermore, he even continued to understand and grow during the fight. While his talent was important, the man’s legacy was even more important. In this way, what had just happened made sense.

“How lucky.” A flash of envy and jealousy appeared in the elder’s eyes. Being able to receive the legacy of a warrior who had become an immortal was such a blessing. How many warriors in the world were able to enjoy such good fortune?

“It is still too early to say that he is lucky. I fear that he is no longer him...” The mysterious figure looked at the challenge ring. A cold and devilish smirk appeared on his lips.

“What do you mean?” It was evident that the elder did not understand.

“This involves some of the secrets relating to becoming an immortal. You do not need to worry about this. Since the man is already dead, the Cold Pool Valley is now empty. The news should not have spread yet. Send men to the Cold Pool Valley immediately and take it over lest others move ahead of us and take over it first,” the mysterious figure said indifferently.

He did not wish to explain that warriors who have become immortal have primordial souls and that they can possess others. If the person was not at that level, it was useless even if they found out about it. The Cold Pool Valley was a place of treasure and was extremely important to those who cultivated in the power of the Cold Attribute. Previously, they could not go to that place because of that person. However, now that that person was dead, it was a place without a master.

“Yes! I will deal with it immediately.”

The elder bowed respectfully, his eyes filled with adoration and respect. The man before him was one of the strongest few leaders in the Red Stone Forest. He was the cream of the crop. If the Huatian Palace had not suppressed the lord, he would have already become an immortal. Luckily, ordinary warriors were far from being on par with the lord. A powerhouse like him was practically undefeatable by those who were not yet immortals. It was likely that he would survive even if he encountered warriors who had become immortals.

The elder led some of his subordinates from the death corner fighting ring. The Cold Pool Valley was a place of treasure, and they must have it no matter what.

The mysterious figure remained standing where he was. He looked at challenge ring 49 with a thoughtful glimmer in his eyes. “That young man does not seem like he is being possessed. If Xiang Buwei had possessed him, he would have already started thinking about how to escape. He would not dare to participate in the Heaven List Tournament held by Huatian Palace. Furthermore, the youth was slowly putting understanding the martial arts way. He was growing step by step as a baby learns to walk. If he were Xiang Buwei, why would he have to apprehend his own knowledge?”

The mysterious figure shook his head. He felt that the possibility of the young man being possessed by Xiang Buwei was not high. Furthermore, since he had been suppressed by the Huatian Palace’s stratagem, it was probably not easy to use the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique.

Suddenly, the mysterious figure realized that someone seemed to be looking at him. He turned around in surprise towards the source of the gaze. There was someone here who could see him!

The owner of the gaze was a woman. She stood at the edge of the square with her arms wrapped around her as she looked at him interestedly.

The mysterious figure’s eyes met the woman’s, and a flash of electrifying light appeared in their eyes.

“She can see me. How interesting! This is too interesting...”

The mysterious figure smiled. He had not expected to encounter so many incredible situations one after another on his trip to the death corner fighting ring. That woman was not simple. He had never seen a woman like this. Had the hidden martial arts stream managed to groom such a talent already?

Before he was imprisoned in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest by Huatian Palace, he had quite a few encounters with those from the hidden martial arts strain. However, even the most exceptional genius of the hidden martial arts stream was far from being on the same level as this woman. There was no one else who could compare to her amongst those below 50 years of age.

In martial arts, the focus was on cultivation before the Third Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm was reached. The cumulation of inner strength was important. After reaching the Third Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, cultivation was no longer important. The focus then would be on the Martial Arts Teachings Realm. The level of the realm would determine one’s future accomplishment and also their abilities.

The Martial Arts Teachings Realm could not be reached just by hard work and cultivation. One had to understand the rationale behind martial arts and understand the power of heaven and earth. They had to understand the profound meaning of heaven and earth, the rules of heaven and earth, and the interactions between heaven and earth. Then, they would be able to use the power of heaven and earth for themselves.

Mo Wen had managed to kill the old woman, Zhang Feng, easily even though his cultivation was not as high as hers. He had done this not only just through the use of rite of passage martial arts. What was more important was his own martial arts teachings realm. He had understood the profound aura and that was why his martial arts teachings realm was far higher than the old woman’s. That was how he managed to dominate her in their fight.

Things related to the profound meaning were all powers belonging to heaven and earth. It was completely beyond the scope of the ordinary martial arts teachings realm. However, there were varying realms in the understanding of the profound of heaven and earth as well.

For example, when warriors first encountered the edges of the profound meaning, they would first sense the profound aura. At that moment, warriors would be able to use the small amount of the power of profundity for themselves. More advanced was the path of profundity. Warriors in this realm had a slight understanding of the basic rules of the power of profundity. They understood a little about the workings of the path of profundity. At this point, one could say that they were barely able to make use of the power of profundity.

Moving further up was the fledging stage of profound meaning. When one understood the path of profundity, they would gradually be able to categorize and make conclusions and then would make the profound meaning something of their own. They would then be able to use it with familiarity. That was the fledging stage of profound meaning. At this point, the profound meaning had just been formed and was not yet complete. As such, it could only be termed the fledging stage.

After the fledging stage of profound meaning came the complete understanding of the basic rules of profound meaning. It would then be a complete profound meaning. Only at this point could a warrior be said to have stepped through the doors of profound meaning.

Generally speaking, only when a person understood profound meaning would they be able to become a warrior who has become immortal.

The mysterious person was extremely powerful and had understood the fledgling stage of the profound meaning. He was at the limits of the stage below that of becoming an immortal. If the Huatian Palace had not suppressed him, he would have become an immortal a long time ago. If he wanted to hide his tracks, anyone who did not have a high enough martial arts teaching realm would not be able to trace him. In fact, no one else in the entire death corner fighting ring other than that woman had noticed him.

“What martial arts way realm are you in?”

The mysterious man looked at the woman curiously. His voice entered her ear like a thread. She was the only one who could hear him.

One would need to be at least at the path of profound meaning to discover him. Or perhaps, one might even need to be at the fledging stage of profound meaning.

The woman was so young, but she had been able to understand the path of profound meaning. That was incredible. Even if she were the most talented genius of the hidden martial arts strain, being able to understand profound aura before the age of 50 was an incredible feat.
