The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 185: There is no way forward for the Martial God.
There is no distinction in education, everyone is treated equally!
This is what Xu Xingchen did to the 3,072 white-robed followers who followed him.

It's not that he doesn't understand that people are different in temperament, some are stupid, some are smart, and some are sharp. Different circumstances and emotions shape different temperaments.

Who can guarantee that these 3,072 people are all loyal to the leader Xu Xingchen and will remain loyal forever?
Who can guarantee that among these 3,072 people, there won’t be any villains who commit murders and evil deeds in the future?

Who can guarantee that among these 3,072 people, one will not rebel against the Ming Cult in the future, abuse his power and bully the people?

Xu Xingchen couldn't guarantee anything, but he still had to explain the principles of martial arts to these people.

He can't control things that happen in the future.

But after arriving at Kunlun Guangmingding, the harsh situation they will face will definitely put these white-robed followers who have followed them into a desperate situation where they will be in danger of death.

In order to give these people a greater chance of surviving the planned brutal battle, he must try his best to improve their strength.

It’s that simple!
What he described was all the research he had done before. Now he was sorting out, summarizing, and concluding the whole process from beginning to end.
It starts from a drop, then gathers into a river, and then into the vast ocean.
The narration during the initial month was straightforward, simple and direct, like the mighty sound of a huge bell. Not only did everyone hear it clearly, but everyone also often felt a sudden sense of enlightenment, sudden realization, and a wake-up call during the process of listening.

That feeling of complete enlightenment is more enjoyable than anything else in the world, and it is so wonderful that it cannot be described in words.

During that month, everyone had a clear and distinct understanding of the martial arts system they practiced. Some difficulties encountered in daily practice, accumulated doubts, and some problems that had never been thought about or realized before, all had answers.

They seemed to see a broad road leading directly to the level of martial arts masters, with beautiful scenery and no obstacles along the way.

It was also during the first month that all of them improved the fastest and most dramatically, far surpassing their usual self-cultivation efforts.

But starting from the second month, the feeling of listening to the lectures for the three thousand white-clad followers was not so wonderful anymore.

Because they found that as the leader spoke more and more, and spoke in greater depth, some of the martial arts knowledge, martial arts principles, and even martial arts concepts involved had begun to exceed the scope of their understanding and entered another level.

They are all lucky ones who have tasted the sweetness, and they know that what the leader said is extremely precious. If they miss this journey, there will never be a second such good thing in the world. Therefore, even if they don’t understand, they try their best to memorize it by rote and swallow it whole, and remember as much as they can.

On the other hand, the 72 masters were all extremely happy and excited, because the content described by the leader was exactly the knowledge and principles at the master level.
The training process of a warrior, excluding the foundation-laying stage before the age of sixteen, can be roughly divided into four levels: warrior, good player, master, and top-notch.

It goes without saying that warriors are at the bottom of the martial arts world.

A good fighter is one in a thousand strong men and has a certain status in the martial arts world. In the major sects, he is an elite disciple. If he hangs out in a gang, he can get the title of incense master, leader, or manager.

The sign of becoming a master is to cultivate true qi, and because of a series of changes such as the strength of true qi and the charm of martial arts, it is divided into three levels, namely first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate.
Martial artists who have only cultivated true Qi are generally called second-rate or third-rate masters based on the strength of their true Qi and the level of their martial arts skills.

Only those who have comprehended the spirit of martial arts are first-rate masters.
Most of the seventy-two masters who came with Xu Xingchen were second- or third-rate. Those who could be called first-rate masters were extremely rare.

The last level is the top level where the four Dharma Kings and others are.
For a martial artist, it is several times more difficult to break through from a first-rate master to the top level than for a young child learning martial arts to grow up to a first-rate master. Only those who are gifted, wise, and have great opportunities can break through, so it is better not to mention it.

The first half of the second month can be said to be a feast for the seventy-two masters. Every night when they rest, they will swim in the ocean constructed by the principles of martial arts and the spiritual level, enlighten their minds and see their nature, and see themselves when the flowers bloom.

Even though many people's skills are not profound yet, those who have comprehended the spirit of martial arts are still emerging one after another like sesame seeds blooming.

Within half a month, half of the seventy-two people had comprehended the spirit of martial arts. The number was so large that even the four Dharma Kings could not help but be shocked.

The remaining half of the masters also had various insights in their hearts, and it seemed that as long as there was an opportunity, they would be able to comprehend it.
In the second half of the second month, Xu Xingchen's content once again climbed to a higher level. He explained the martial arts principles of how to comprehend the divine appearance of martial arts and how to perfect the divine appearance of martial arts.

The practice at this level not only involves the circulation of true qi and the mind and spirit, but also involves all kinds of changes in nature, such as the universe, the sun, the moon, the stars, the rotation of the four seasons, etc.
The seventy-two people who did not comprehend the divine aspects of martial arts also fell into the same embarrassing situation as the three thousand white-clothed disciples. In addition to feeling disappointed, they could only try their best to memorize and recite, and accumulate the half-understood knowledge as their own foundation.

Xu Xingchen's explanations over a month have presented to everyone the process of how to improve and practice martial arts from shallow to deep, from simple to complex, step by step, in a straightforward and comprehensive manner. Not only the three thousand white-robed followers and seventy-two masters gained a lot, but even the four Dharma Kings benefited a lot.

When the content of the martial arts gods began to be discussed, it was finally the turn of the Four Dharma Kings to become excited. When they listened to the lecture, their attitude was extremely serious, just like primary school students listening to a lecture in class, not daring to say a word.

Only when the lecture is over will the four Dharma Kings walk aside, sit cross-legged, and begin to ponder what they have heard before.

This meditation often lasts all night.
In this world, if the charm of martial arts can still be traced, there are traces of the predecessors, leaving behind various methods of understanding, then the records of martial arts divine appearance are really unique. If you want to understand the divine appearance of martial arts, it all depends on the martial arts practitioner to understand it himself. The experience of the predecessors is completely not suitable for you, and it cannot be explained clearly to future generations.

It is a kind of feeling that "can only be understood but not expressed in words". If you know it, you know it. If you don't know it, no matter how much you talk, others will not understand.

The Nine Yang Divine Art is a peerless martial art that integrates all the martial arts principles of this world. When it comes to the content related to the martial arts gods, it is also confusing and mysterious.

In the last chapter, I can only say that if you can practice the Nine Yang Magic Art to the great perfection, the probability of comprehending the martial arts god will be much easier than that of ordinary people.
Xu Xingchen was the first to comprehend the divine aspects of martial arts, and then he went to study the Nine Yang Divine Art. He verified his own feelings with the contents of the Nine Yang Divine Art one by one, and cleared up many of the mysteries involved.

Even so, he could not clearly explain the process of the birth of the Martial Arts God Form, but he had a deeper understanding of the Martial Arts God Form, and on the basis of having already comprehended the Martial Arts God Form, he further improved it.
The further along in the lecture, the more profound and mysterious Xu Xingchen's content became. In the first few days, the four Dharma Kings could still understand it. Even if they didn't understand, they could find the answer after thinking for a long time after class.

But after a few days, the four Dharma Kings began to find it difficult to listen to the content, and often looked puzzled and bewildered.

Until the last two or three days, Xu Xingchen would often stop during each lecture, frown and think for a while before continuing.

Then, after a few words, I got stuck again
During the last three days of classes, the four Dharma Kings could no longer understand what Xu Xingchen was saying.

Xu Xingchen knew what he was talking about, but as he continued to think deeply, he found that he seemed to have touched an indestructible barrier.
No, the word "barrier" is not very vivid!
It is more like a kind of nothingness after exploring the path of martial arts to the end.
"Could it be that the Martial Arts Divine Appearance is the end of the Martial Arts?!"

".There is no road ahead."

On the last day, Xu Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, and his look was as confused as the four Dharma Kings.

"Or maybe I just don't have the ability to see the road ahead."

While Xu Xingchen was puzzled, the group arrived at the foot of Guangmingding Mountain and met the people with the Five Elements Flags who had been waiting there.

"Please stop!"

"This is the Bright Summit, the headquarters of the Ming Cult. Come here and tell us your names!"

A loud and high-pitched shout rose into the sky, disturbing Xu Xingchen's thoughts.

He raised his eyelids, looked through the white gauze in front of him at the Five Elements Bannermen not far away, gathered his thoughts, and sighed softly, "Finally here!"

The three thousand white-robed followers stopped, and the four Dharma Kings of Purple, White, Gold and Green flew to the front of the formation and confronted the flag bearers of the Five Elements Flag.

As soon as the two sides met, there was a lot of tension.

However, the changes in the White-browed Eagle King still surprised several people, and the mature charm of the Purple-clothed Dragon King Daiqisi also attracted a lot of attention and amazement.

The White-browed Eagle King clasped his fists and said, "Five brothers, long time no see!"

Facing Yin Tianzheng, the oldest of the four Dharma Kings, the five flag bearers could not be too rude and responded with fists clasped together: "Greetings, Eagle King!"

Then, Xin Ran, the Fiery Flag Bearer, asked solemnly, "Eagle King, Dragon King, Bat King, the three Dharma Kings, have not returned to our Ming Cult headquarters for many years. Why are you here today?"

His words were meaningful. He did not mention the lion king's name, which meant that he believed that this golden-armored lion king who appeared out of nowhere in front of him was not worthy of being among the four Dharma Kings.

The tone of questioning the three Dharma Kings seemed familiar, but in fact it was just a courtesy to outsiders.

It is hinted in both explicit and implicit ways that the three of you seem to have a close connection with my Ming Cult, but it is still unclear whether you are members of my Ming Cult.

He is actually right!

Back then, the White-browed Eagle King left the Ming Cult and set up his own sect; the Purple-Robed Dragon King rebelled against the Ming Cult and disappeared; the Golden-Haired Lion King had already died, so there was no need to say more; and the Green-Winged Bat King wandered outside all year round and was unwilling to return.

Now, the three of them have returned together, and brought a leader with them, what is going on? !
