CHAPTER 1192: CHAPTER 1192: WORDS OF EXPERIENCE! (SECOND UPDATE)

After driving away the Japanese samurai, Ye Qiu began his lecture on the Way.

Hearing this, all the martial artists present focused their attention, striving to remember every word Ye Qiu said in their minds.

Ye Qiu shared his understanding of martial arts.

Martial arts is a way for humans to continuously break through their limits, thus extending life.

When martial arts reach a certain realm, various divine powers will manifest.

Ye Qiu demonstrated the power of rules, with ice crystal patterns forming in his palm, "This is the power of rules. When I say there is ice, there will be ice."

With a flip of his hand, a strong wind arose, and Ye Qiu said indifferently, "When I say there is wind, wind will appear."

Many martial artists watched with bright eyes; isn’t this the means of an immortal?

"In this world, what we see are not immortals, but humans. When a person’s martial arts reach a certain level, they can achieve this extent."

"So martial arts can reach such a level." Many martial artists showed envy. In their eyes, Ye Qiu’s methods were no different from those of immortals, capable of commanding the wind and rain at will.

"The power of rules is the embodiment of the rules of the world. Everything in the world has its existence as truth. If we want to go further in martial arts, we must look beyond appearances to the essence, and the essence of this world is rules."

"Actually, rules are everywhere. The alternation of day and night every day is a rule."

"A person’s life from birth to aging and death is also a rule."

"Rules are present in everything around us, but we lack the eyes to discover them."

Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and Elder Jin revealed expressions of enlightenment upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, realizing for the first time that there was another way of looking at things.

"Friend Ye is indeed a martial arts genius. His understanding of the power of rules is so thorough." A voice came from the back of the crowd, and Ye Qiu looked over with a smile and said to the visitor, "Friend Qian Zhen, you flatter me."

Shush, shush.

Instantly, many eyes turned towards them. Hearing Ye Qiu’s words, everyone knew that Qian Zhen Taoist had arrived.

Qian Zhen Taoist is also a legendary figure in the martial world today. He is the first martial artist to break through the mythical realm, also a legend in the martial world.

Ye Qiu lectures on the Way, and the appearance of Qian Zhen Taoist means that the two top martial artists in the martial world have both appeared, bringing this lecture to a climax.

"Today is a day where Friend Ye imparts his martial arts experience to the martial world. I am here to listen to Friend Ye’s sermon. You wouldn’t laugh at me, would you?" Qian Zhen Taoist said.

"Haha, how could you say that, Friend Qian Zhen? I am here merely at the invitation of Senior Chen and Senior Jin. Thanks to everyone’s regard, I had the opportunity to sit here and lecture. It’s naturally a good thing that Qian Zhen Taoist could come."

Qian Zhen Taoist sat to one side, watching Ye Qiu’s calm demeanor and eternal unwavering heart, feeling deep admiration.

The current Ye Xiaoyou is no longer the Ye Xiaoyou of the past.

The moment Qian Zhen Taoist saw Ye Qiu, he understood that the Ye Qiu in front of him was the young master Ye who caused a sensation in the ancient land.

Qian Zhen Taoist’s heart couldn’t calm down. With his strength, he simply couldn’t see through Ye Qiu’s power. But seeing Ye Qiu’s effortless use of the power of rules, and multiple rules at that, this talent put him far beyond reach.

Ye Qiu’s rise was astonishingly fast, and if Qian Zhen Taoist were to divulge Ye Qiu’s feat of overthrowing the Three Great Ancient Clans, it might once again shake the entire martial world.

The ancient land, what kind of existence is that? In the martial world, it’s a forbidden legend, and now, originally controlled by the Three Great Ancient Clans, the ancient land is nearly dominated by Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu, alone, in the ancient land, is the strongest ancient clan, possessing the most powerful force of the ancient land.

Qian Zhen Taoist looked at Ye Qiu with some subtle changes, which Ye Qiu noticed but chose not to mention.

Ye Qiu talked about the power of rules for almost the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, which was like thunder to ducks for martial artists who hadn’t reached the mythical realm, completely incomprehensible. All they could do was remember it for future use.

But the words sounded like precious wisdom to myth realm martial artists like Qian Zhen Taoist, Qin Feng, and Jin Shanshun, bringing profound understanding and solving many previous enigmas they had.

Immediately, Qian Zhen Taoist closed his eyes, savoring Ye Qiu’s words once more.

Soon, a yellow gas began to appear around Qian Zhen Taoist, spreading from beneath him.

Ye Qiu was surprised, as he was very familiar with rule power, but Qian Zhen Taoist’s mastery of the earth rule power surprised him even more. This was a rule power that even Ye Qiu hadn’t mastered.

The yellow gas enveloped Qian Zhen Taoist, and as he took a vigorous breath, the yellow gas vanished instantly.

A golden glint shot from Qian Zhen Taoist’s eyes.

Qian Zhen Taoist suddenly spoke, "Thank you, Friend Ye, for your words, which led to my moment of enlightenment, finally comprehending the rule power of earth."

"Congratulations," Ye Qiu smiled slightly.

Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and the others revealed envious expressions. They had witnessed the changes in Qian Zhen Taoist’s body—a mist of yellow—and Qian Zhen Taoist’s strength was elevated by at least a great level.

Qin Feng also experienced some gains, for each martial artist has a different understanding of martial arts. Otherwise, how could there be differences in strength among martial artists? It’s because everyone practices differently, views martial arts differently, and hears about martial arts differently. These differences result in vast disparities in levels and distinctions.

"Ye Xiaoyou, I would like to ask, how does one break through to the mythical realm from the legendary?" Elder Jin suddenly spoke up.

Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and Ren Hesheng all turned their eyes and perked their ears, wanting to hear Ye Qiu’s thoughts.

"To break the myth, one must push the domain and momentum to their extremes. Once these aspects are cultivated to a certain extent, there is no need to intentionally pursue it, and the realm will naturally and silently break through."

"Improvement in realm cannot be forced. Often, eagerness will hinder your progress. It’s better to go with the flow."

"Go with the flow?" Chen Yifeng, Elder Jin, and the others exchanged glances, wondering if following Ye Qiu’s advice of letting nature take its course would indeed be effective.

Ye Qiu certainly understood the intentions of these senior elders, but what he said was true, for Ye Qiu’s own breakthrough was achieved by going with the flow, quietly becoming a mythical martial artist.

When it comes to certain things, forcing it will backfire due to excessive intent, contrary to expectations. Instead, going with the flow is better, like a flower blooming naturally releases fragrance, which naturally attracts butterflies, a fitting analogy.

The senior martial artists pondered Ye Qiu’s words for a moment, but the young martial artists present were baffled, for the mythical realm was somewhat beyond their reach. After all, most of them were only at the True Qi level, far removed from the mythical realm, making it like playing music to a cow to explain too much about the mythical realm to them.

Realizing this, Ye Qiu started explaining from the Jing Qi realm, followed by the True Qi realm, the legendary realm, as the sky gradually darkened while everyone was still immersed in Ye Qiu’s words.
