CHAPTER 644: CHAPTER 402: 30,000 TAN VALLEY ARMY, FORGED STEEL THROUGH A HUNDRED TRIALS! _2

Yan Chuan rejoiced——

[Divine Light Scripture: Sixth Realm Refining (12)]

From Elder Jiang, from the "Divine Light Scripture," Yan Chuan gained a clearer understanding of the application of "Mutual Teaching and Learning"——

"Create martial arts."

"Teach martial arts."

"When the practitioner is perfectly aligned, progress comes rapidly. When I ’teach and learn mutually’ with them, both the practitioner and listener can progress, and I can also progress rapidly, equating to my own perfect alignment."

For example, the "Divine Light Scripture."

Yan Chuan had attempted to comprehend it while practicing the "Nine Yang Divine Skill," but found it overly challenging and not very compatible. Practice and comprehension brought meager results, so he set it aside without wasting energy.

But Elder Jiang found it compatible.

In a short time, Elder Jiang thoroughly mastered the "Divine Light Scripture," integrated it, and realized the ’True Seed’ condensation method.

Yan Chuan then explored it with Elder Jiang, engaging in mutual teaching and learning, which greatly enhanced Yan Chuan’s proficiency in the "Divine Light Scripture." He too ’became compatible,’ and they mutually propelled each other, both finally stepping into the Sixth Realm.

Mutual Teaching and Learning!

Both benefited!

This is the correct approach to "Mutual Teaching and Learning."

In fact, Yan Chuan had been doing this for some time.

Besides Elder Jiang.

Besides the "Divine Light Scripture."

There was Wang Zhengyi’s "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill!"

There was Ma Hongniang’s "Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill!"

There was Chen Ze’s "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship!"

There were many others like Ding Xiang, Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, Lu Yuru, etc., to whom Yan Chuan had imparted absolute skills. In many cases, his genuine purpose was to help them improve, but it is undeniable that a small part of his intent was also for "Mutual Teaching and Learning."

However, in the unique environments of the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ and the ’King City Competition,’ the result of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" was so extraordinary that feedback from Wang Ge and others was almost unnecessary. Through discussion and competition with their large audience, Yan Chuan could easily improve.

So much so that——

Even though Wang Zhengyi’s "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill," Ma Hongniang’s "Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill," Ding Xiang’s "Orchid Brushing Acupoint Hand," and Wang Ge’s "Seven Injuries Fist" were compatible with them, their progress was not as fast as Yan Chuan’s, naturally rendering them somewhat redundant.

Chen Ze’s "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship" had already reached the Eighth Realm, but due to the uniqueness of [Left and Right Mutual Combat], even if Yan Chuan received feedback, it was difficult to apply.

Similarly, Fu Yunzhan’s "Evil Exorcism Sword Skill" and "Kuihua Manual" were not skills that ordinary people could practice.

Thus, they were of no use to others.

But after the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ and ’King City Competition,’ when Wang Zhengyi and others practiced their absolute skills separately, each made swift progress, creating value for Yan Chuan.

In his spare time, Yan Chuan exchanged ideas with them, which gave him insights and not insignificant improvements in various absolute skills.

After proving the Innate Dao, Yan Chuan is undergoing transformation, becoming more comprehensive——

"I planted a seed."

"It finally bore fruit."

...

Spring is coming. Yan Chuan planted seeds, which will eventually grow into fruits.

...

"When first learning martial arts, one must beware of three harms. If these are not understood, training can harm the body, but those who understand will naturally attain Dao."

"The three harms are: one, Clumsy Force; two, Straining; three, Puffed Chest and Stomach Drawing."

"Practicing Clumsy Force makes it hard for the bloodlines and meridians of the whole body to circulate smoothly, causing stiffness and lack of flexibility in the limbs, leading to clumsy Qi obstruction. Where Qi is blocked, illness will arise."

"During Straining, being too rigid can break easily, and full chest pressure expelling the lungs can cause difficult breathing and lung issues."

"Puffed Chest and Stomach Drawing causes Qi to reverse upward, never reaching the Dantian, leaving one’s footing like rootless grass."

"Just as a ruler’s mind must align with a hundred officials, so too must Boxing be balanced; if not balanced, myriad methods cannot reach neutrality. Therefore, during practice, one must avoid the three harms to maintain fluid strength and smooth energy, an open mind to nurture the Dao Heart, ultimately enabling one to reach the Transformation Realm through prolonged practice."

...

At the King City Training Ground, Yan Chuan teaches boxing.

To beginners and the dull-witted, Yan Chuan explains the ’three harms’ in martial arts to correct their mistakes.

To those whose boxing has reached fundamental levels and are beginning deeper exploration, Yan Chuan delves deeper——

"The flow of the art of heavenly transformation focuses on the two words ’breathing,’ with three stages——"

"The basic stage involves the visible body, acting as the standard for practicing boxing, letting breathing flow naturally, observable from the outside, known as Breathing Control and the skill of Refining Essence into Qi."

"The second stage within movement technique involves breathing, noticeable internally, focusing on the Dantian, known as Breathing Adjustment and the skill of Refining Qi into Divinity."

"The third stage is the inner breathing of heart-kidney intercourse, shapeless and formless, quietly persistent, seemingly present, inaudible, known as Fetal Breathing, equivalent to the skill of Returning to Void."

"For most soldiers who have just formed their boxing, mastering the basic stage is sufficient."

"Boxing requires brave and diligent progress but also needs to proceed gradually."

"While pondering breathing and exploring basic stage principles, investigate the ’three-step skills’ of boxing——"

Holding the ’White Horn Trumpet,’ Yan Chuan projected his voice to the four corners, demonstrating the three-step skills of boxing on the platform for all soldiers——

"Boxing has three-step skills, known as Ming Energy, Dark Force, and Transformation Energy."

"Ming Energy, the method within the fist, the action of expansion and contraction, stretching and folding, is visible externally."

"Dark Force, quick movement and transformation, changing when moving, metamorphosing into change, with miraculous transformations internally visible."

"Transformation Energy, a shapeless method, invisible and in motion, effectual without outward change."

From ’Xingyi Boxing’ to ’Baji Fist,’ from ’Eight Diagram Palm’ to ’Tongbei Fist,’ then to ’Tai Chi Boxing,’ Yan Chuan demonstrated boxing and the ’three-step skills’ of Bright, Dark, and Transformation for everyone.

Today was a grand rehearsal.

The entire Tan Valley Army’s thirty thousand soldiers gathered, arranged in square formations, dignified and solemn.

Ni Mengtong trained the troops for half a year, establishing the spirit of thirty thousand new soldiers.

After half a year of Yan Chuan’s boxing instruction, thirty thousand soldiers formed their martial skill.

Majestic!

Martial!

Strong!

Valiant!

An extraordinary aura!

From ’three harms’ to ’three stages’ and then to the ’three-step skills’ of boxing, Yan Chuan systematically covered everything. Raising his hand, he summoned three steles out of thin air——

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Yan Chuan casually pushed the three heavy steles, weighing a thousand catties each, causing them to fall——

Rumble!

Rumble!

The stele hit the ground, shaking the earth and mountains!

Yan Chuan in the air looked like a Heavenly God descending.

"Majestic!"

"Majestic!"

"Majestic!"

All the soldiers looked up in worship and awe.

For the thirty thousand soldiers of Tan Valley Army, Yan Chuan was the City Lord, Military Leader, Ancestral Master, Legend, Heaven itself, revered by all and dreamed by each.

They raised their heads to listen to the legendary master speak——

"These three steles are each inscribed with the first, second, and third levels of the ’Dragon Elephant Wisdom.’"

"Those newly introduced to boxing can practice the first level."

"Those who have mastered Ming Energy can practice the second level."

"Those proficient in Dark Force can practice the third level."

"Once all three levels are mastered, one breaks the limit; at that time, a punch can exert a force near a thousand catties, which none can withstand."

...

In the short span of half a month, unable to participate in the ’King City Competition,’ Yan Chuan seemed idle but was actually busier.

Refining ’bee royal jelly’ was the first task.

Training the "Divine Light Scripture" was the second.

Conducting military boxing training was the third.

Among them, the third task was subdivided into——

Teaching and explaining ’Five Fists.’

Teaching and explaining the ’Little Arhat Formation.’

Teaching and explaining "Dragon Elephant Wisdom."

White Horn Trumpet.

Mutual Teaching and Learning.

Yan Chuan taught all thirty thousand soldiers of Tan Valley Army, which kept him incredibly busy.

However, the combination of ’Five Fists,’ ’Arhat System,’ and "Dragon Elephant Wisdom" was designed by Yan Chuan as the route for the Tan Valley Army. Once the teaching is complete, and all thirty thousand soldiers have mastered it, even the first level of "Dragon Elephant Wisdom" combined with the ’Little Arhat Formation’ will make Tan Valley Army’s power formidable.

To secure King City——

Heavenly Grandmasters are indispensable.

An elite army is also necessary.

Yan Chuan leverages "Derivation Skill" and "Mutual Teaching and Learning" to develop more suitable absolute skills for Jiang Bianliu, Huang Wuniang, Situ Fei, and Chen Ze, enhancing the strength of existing Innates, while also developing absolute skills for Wang Zhengyi, Ding Xiang, and others, hoping for their early Dao verification. For the new arrival Ying Jifeng, Yan Chuan first teaches the "Absorption Star Great Method," followed by deriving the "Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm," and places the highest expectations on his Dao verification.
