Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 226: Different Martial Arts
Although he was very curious about the ethical seniority of the sacred beasts, Lin Qianxing did not get entangled in this issue.
He began to understand the situation of this world with Lu Tao.
Lu Tao's personality is relatively simple, and she answered all of Lin Qianxing's questions without hiding anything.
In his few words, a huge world slowly unfolded in Lin Qianxing's mind.
This is a world so big that its boundaries are unknown, with countless creatures of all kinds living in it. The Heavenly Dao created five sacred beasts, namely Qilin, Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise and White Tiger, to jointly maintain the operation of the world. The Heavenly Dao used the remaining essence from the creation of the five sacred beasts to create five secondary sacred beasts, namely Lu Tao, who assist the five sacred beasts in their work.
Lin Qianxing had previously sought information about the [Shenwu Realm] from Zhou Quanhai, but Zhou Quanhai did not explain in detail, so he really did not know the specific composition of this world.
"By the way, Lu Tao, are there any other creatures in this world who look similar to me?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Yes, you mean the human race, right? There are many people outside the Qinglong Holy Land, but Uncle Qinglong said that they are quite narrow-minded and told me not to have too much contact with them to avoid being deceived." Lu Tao said.
"They are indeed cunning." Lin Qianxing affirmed Qinglong's words .
"Why are you asking them? By the way, I haven't asked you why you look like them! You are obviously not a human, but a sacred beast like Uncle Qinglong and the others..." Lu Tao asked.
After hearing Lu Tao's words, Lin Qianxing suddenly realized why she was so familiar.
It turns out that he regarded himself as one of the same kind.
But to be honest, his status as a small figure should be innately sacred. In fact, he should be the same as the world itself, one level higher than the holy beasts like Lu Tao.
However, Lin Qianxing did not intend to explain, but asked in return: "Aren't you somewhat similar to humans? Why is that?"
"I was created by Father Tiandao using the remaining Heavenly Dao essence that was used to create Uncle Qinglong. I looked like this when I was born. Why don't I go and ask Father Tiandao why?" Lu Tao said with curiosity in his eyes.
After she finished speaking, a mysterious aura began to emanate from Lu Tao's body, and a feeling of being at one with the heaven and earth emanated from her.
"No, no, there's no need to trouble him. He's so busy all day. We can just think of this little thing ourselves..." Lin Qianxing hurriedly stopped him.
"I have finished asking." Lu Tao said to Lin Qianxing: "Father Tiandao said that he was shaped randomly."
"Huh? Randomly? That's too careless! No, it should be random, right?" Lin Qianxing was a little dumbfounded. Could a sacred beast ask questions about the way of heaven casually?
Is the Heaven in your vast universe so idle?
Or is it that He has a multi-threaded consciousness and randomly divided a part of the thread to chat specifically with His daughter?
"Random? It seems like that!" Lu Tao nodded suddenly.
"Can you take me to the human territory? Or you can tell me which direction they are in and I can go there by myself." Lin Qianxing said.
"Oh, yes, you haven't answered me yet. Why do you want to see them?" Lu Tao said.
Lin Qianxing didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say, "I want to be friends with them."
"Humans have a bad smell, weak bodies, and a short lifespan. They die in the blink of an eye. Why should we make friends with them?" Lu Tao asked in confusion.
It's not like she had never come into contact with humans before, but most of them had short lives.
She just returned to the holy land to plant bamboo for a while. When she went back, all the grandchildren of the human race's grandchildren's grandchildren were dead. Later, she met a human race cultivator and gave him Uncle Qinglong's urine to drink in order to prolong his life. As a result, the human cultivator could not bear it and almost died.
So in her eyes, humans are just like many insects. They die quickly, are weak, and stink, and are not at all likable.
When Lin Qianxing heard Lu Tao's words, he really didn't know how to refute.
From the perspective of a holy beast whose lifespan is unknown, the human lifespan of just a few hundred years is not worth mentioning at all, and even a thousand years is not enough.
What seems like thousands of years to you may really be just a blink of an eye to the sacred beasts.
Lin Qianxing actually has some understanding of this.
Ever since he broke through the realm of supernatural powers and his lifespan increased to a certain extent, his days have been really leisurely.
Every day I go fishing, drink tea, play with cats, farm, refine tools and make elixirs, and occasionally go to practice cultivation.
Sometimes a sudden epiphany can consume the entire day.
For a long time, I couldn't even tell the months and days.
There is not much concept of time at all.
"Didn't you ask me before why I look like a human? Actually, I am also a human!" Lin Qianxing said.
"Impossible, you are definitely not a human." Lu Tao immediately denied Lin Qianxing's words. She said, "You don't have the aura of a human at all, but you are somewhat similar to Father Tiandao."
"I am a congenital human, so my aura is a little different from theirs." Lin Qianxing explained.
When Lu Tao heard this, he still looked unconvinced.
But she still said: "Since you want to meet the human race no matter what, I will send you there."
"Thank you very much." Lin Qianxing said.
"Hold on tight." Lu Tao said.
Lin Qianxing's heart tightened, but then he felt his body suddenly lean back, and the images on both sides began to blur.
He was filled with emotion. If Lu Tao's speed of escape were placed in the world where he lived in his previous life, he didn't know how many times the speed of light it would have reached.
I really don't know how she did it.
Lu Tao was running very fast, his four hooves running in the void, and soon he arrived near the human city.
Looking down, Lin Qianxing saw a fairly prosperous and civilized society.
Practitioners are common among them, and except for young children, almost all adult humans are above the spiritual level.
They also use many alternative technological products, and their lifestyle is not primitive and backward.
"Lu Tao, I'm going to go take a look around the city. Do you want to come with me?" Lin Qianxing got off Lu Tao's back and asked.
"No, I have to go back to plant bamboo." Lu Tao said, "Nice to meet you, Hunyuan Shiling."
"I'm glad to meet you, too, Lu Tao." Lin Qianxing said, "Thank you for taking me to visit the bamboo forest and telling me so many things."
"No need to thank me. Just don't lose the branch I gave you, otherwise it will be troublesome for me to find you later. Goodbye!" Lu Tao said while waving his bamboo stick.
"I'll keep it well. Goodbye!" Lin Qianxing also waved.
Immediately, Lu Tao disappeared from Lin Qianxing's sight in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qianxing changed his body shape and concealed his aura and headed for the city below.
This city is larger than the Wuding City in the main world, especially the city wall, which is more than a hundred feet high. Lin Qianxing can even see the dense Taoist patterns on it.
However, Lin Qianxing didn't feel that he was very strong.
I'm afraid it can only stop some beings in the early stage of the Dao stage, and it certainly won't last long.
There were people coming in and out of the city, so Lin Qianxing found a man whose strength was about in the early stage of the Xuan level, and directly cast a cave source magical power on him. Instantly, he knew all the information about him from birth to growing up. Lin Qianxing even traced back for more than twenty generations, until he saw one of his more powerful ancestors and could not trace any further, so he stopped.
After obtaining a lot of information, Lin Qianxing also understood the name of this city, as well as the language and cultivation of the humans in this world.
The name of this city is Dingyi City. It is one of the small cities governed by a sect called Wanjianmen. The Master Wanjian in Wanjianmen is a top master of the human race. His strength has reached the level of the Great Dao and is extraordinary.
The practice path of practitioners in this world is called martial arts.
This seems to be somewhat similar to the martial arts in the main world, but their martial arts have not formed a fixed system.
That is to say, the practice of various schools and sects is not unified.
However, the general realm does exist.
The initial stage is called [Master Martial Arts] and is about learning and mastering martial arts.
Then comes [Sublimation], which is to comprehend the artistic conception from the skills, sublimate one's own skills, and use the artistic conception of various moves, such as sword intention, knife intention, fist intention and so on.
Then comes [Perfection], which means practicing all skills until you can perfect them, as if you were using one's arm and fingers, and making it an instinct. You will naturally carry the aura of the skill and transform yourself.
[Enter the Sainthood], to achieve extraordinary skills and master the principles of Tao.
After reaching the state of becoming a saint, things start to get unclear in between, because there is really no standard for the realm of Dao level. Everyone's path is different. At most, it can be divided based on the combat power that the other party can demonstrate, but it is not detailed enough. After all, if you really want to divide it, it is really easy to divide it into tens of thousands of small realms between the Dao level and the Great Dao level.
The martial arts practice in this world is somewhat similar to that in the main world, but there is no unified path of training muscles, bones and skin externally and cultivating essence, energy and spirit internally to achieve unity and enlightenment .
Moreover, they will not mix the soul and the body into one. They still have their own focuses based on the martial arts they practice.
However, from Lin Qianxing's perspective, they still have not escaped the framework that all methods are part of the Tao.
No matter what mysterious skills they practice, they will eventually master the Tao.
Lin Qianxing stepped into Dingyi City. Under the influence of the magic he cast, the guards outside the city did not stop him and let him enter the city easily.
After entering the city, Lin Qianxing looked around and found that the adult humans in this world were generally around two meters three to two meters five in height. His illusory body seemed a little small, and he looked like a young boy, so Lin Qianxing made himself taller.
After entering the city, Lin Qianxing immediately went around searching for all kinds of knowledge related to cultivation.
Isn't it just for this that Tathagata came here no matter what?
Soon, Lin Qianxing acquired a large number of martial arts.
There are those who have reached the level of Tao.
However, there are only three Dao-level martial arts, and they were obtained from the city lord.
By the way, the city lord of Dingyi City is only at the initial stage of Dao level, and is already extremely old. This shows that this city really seems to be a bit like a frontier town.
After obtaining these methods, Lin Qianxing couldn't wait to start practicing them.
Experiencing the cultivation methods of different worlds is also one of his goals in going to the copy world.
Lin Qianxing came to the wilderness, used his magical powers, and casually condensed an iron sword, and then lowered his strength to the ordinary level.
Immediately, he stabbed out with his sword using a common-grade sword move called "Water-piercing Sword Technique".
Swish!
The sound of breaking through the air was heard, and Lin Qianxing's sword completely met the standards described in it.
But this was just the beginning. Lin Qianxing adjusted the angle of his body and stabbed out with the sword again.
This sword subtly mobilized the energy and spirit of the whole body, condensing a sense of artistic conception.
Wow!
The speed of the sword has obviously increased a lot.
Lin Qianxing paused for a moment and stabbed out with the sword again.
whoosh!
The moment the sword blade stabbed out, a sword energy was stimulated and penetrated a giant tree dozens of meters away.
In this short period of time, Lin Qianxing successfully completed the transformation of the three realms of [Master Martial Arts], [Sublimation], and [Perfection].
Just one more step and you can become a saint and understand the principles of Tao.
However, this step is more difficult, and it will probably take some time for Lin Qianxing's [Hunyuan Shiling] small account to succeed.
So Lin Qianxing did not continue practicing.
Instead, he tried a different martial art.
Before long, Lin Qianxing personally experienced dozens of martial arts, and even gave the three Dao-level martial arts a try.
At this time, he also understood what the main practitioners in this world were like.
If the practice in the main world is based on Taoism and supplemented by techniques.
The practice in this world is based on techniques to drive your Tao.
To describe the main world, it is to lay the foundation first and then comprehend the principles of the Tao.
In this realm, one first comprehends the principles of magic and then uses them to improve one's own foundation until it reaches a matching level.
This is also the reason why there is no unified standard for martial arts in this world.
The techniques, moves and artistic conception of each school are different. You use a knife, I use a sword, and he uses a fist. How can we unify them?
