People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 444 The Body is a Treasure, Cultivating Both Literary and Martial Arts

"Old Yan, actually I didn't take my dream seriously at first. After all, the Void Sea is endlessly mysterious, and it's normal for people with strong minds like us to have dreams occasionally. It's a mix of truth and falsehood, and it's not surprising to dream of a few fragments of martial arts techniques..."

"But when you came today, you happened to run into Brother Li Qi. It's like a dream come true. Everything is too coincidental, so coincidental that it doesn't seem like a coincidence, but rather that it was destined!"

At the tea table, Wen Junxian brewed tea while scrutinizing Li Qi with a strange look, as if she were experiencing a thousand emotions.

Actually, it would be one thing to encounter Li Qi alone, but there are countless people in this world whose names contain the character "Qi," since this character is engraved on the seal of the Lord of Yu, so naturally many people like to use this character in their names.

The key point is that Li Qi is still young, yet his martial arts skills are so terrifying. He truly seems to have been born from the changes brought about by the calamity.

At times like this, coupled with his dream, he couldn't help but overthink.

"To have slain the demonic tribulation and attained the Dao, and to possess such martial arts, your will is probably close to the One. Even the Saint at this level was no more than this."

"You remind me of my younger self."

"In this era, the Three Sages and Seven Immortals are indeed exceptionally talented, but they are only riding the wave of good fortune for a short time. What the future holds is still unknown. Some people are too superstitious about good fortune. Before this thing existed, there were still many masters who wrote brilliant epics."

"The revelation in the proverb of my dream could very well be you, if my dream is real..."

At this moment, Wen Junxian was actually a little dazed. On one hand, he felt that Li Qi was a mysterious person, and on the other hand, he felt that his thoughts at this moment were too unreal. But he still blurted it out as if possessed.

After saying it, he felt he had exaggerated. After all, that was Lord Yu. Could this young man really surpass Lord Yu in the future?
Therefore, he added, "Dreams are confusing and unpredictable, and we shouldn't take them too seriously most of the time."

If you think about it carefully, considering his words before and after, it does seem like there's a left-brain attacking the right brain.

"The past is set and the future is infinite; it doesn't matter who the civilization belongs to."

Li Qi said, but his gaze was fixed on a small pond in the corner of the courtyard, where two fish, each about half a meter long, one gold and one black, were swimming and playing in the water. It really did resemble a Tai Chi diagram, with the meaning of Yin and Yang turning.

In Li Qi's perception, this pond was the core of the entire garden's architecture and feng shui, the so-called "array eye".

"indeed so!"

"Actually, my main purpose this time was to see my old friend Lao Yan. You can't get him to come out unless you have a good reason. I happened to have a strange dream, so today's gathering came about."

Who can say for sure what the future holds?!

Wen Junxian smiled and composed himself. Now that he had calmed down, he felt even more that what he had said before was a bit too unrealistic.

Immediately afterwards, he poured five cups of tea, then stood up and said, "Now that this is the perfect time, let everyone appreciate the divine skill I obtained in my dream. This method is truly wondrous. I have pondered it for a while and feel that there are many subtle and profound aspects to it, but at the same time, I also feel that many parts are empty and impractical. It is very contradictory."

"If I were to evaluate whether this divine skill is real or fake, I could only say that if it is real, everyone should just observe it today and not delve too deeply into it. If you really get caught up in it, then I would be committing a sin."

As they were talking, Wen Junxian took two steps to the open space in the courtyard, and then began to practice a set of somewhat strange movements.

This set of movements, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, is like a volcanic eruption, vast and unstoppable, with an earth-shattering momentum. When slow, it's like a seed sprouting, a plant growing; seemingly still for a while, yet imperceptibly, it has already undergone a complete transformation, experiencing tremendous growth. Moreover, if one senses it closely, one will feel that within this set of movements are thunder, rain, heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, sun and moon, streams, stars, lakes and seas… all the changes of the myriad phenomena are contained within.

But if you continue to explore its mysteries, you will be surprised to find that it is completely empty inside.

After that, a full twenty minutes passed before Wen Junxian finished performing the entire set of movements. In such a long time, not a single physical movement was exactly the same, nor was there a single moment of completely identical mental activity.

To say that this martial art is merely a figment of imagination is absolutely impossible; there is indeed something within it, but not much.

If I had to describe it, it would be like a gold brick. The outside is indeed gold, but the inside is hollow. It is indeed a gold brick; you can't say that this thing isn't gold. But if you were to call it a gold brick, that would be somewhat inappropriate.

In any case, Li Qi had never seen such strange martial arts before.

After Wen Junxian finished his attack, before he could make any further moves, Xu Youyi seemed to have suddenly grasped something and began to swing her sword, which actually had a strange charm. However, after a few swings, she got stuck.

A few seconds later, Yan Moxin also stood up and began to circulate the guiding technique, but after only a few movements, she suddenly stopped and got stuck.

At the same time, Gu Daoyuan also brandished his sword, his two short swords transforming into yin and yang. At first, he looked quite skilled, but after a few moves, he stopped making any further moves.

Only Li Qi remained still, but within his inner vision, all 365 Dao Gods were changing, and the Dao Venerable sitting in the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows was flipping his hand seals in countless variations.

"The body is a treasure trove of both literary and martial arts!"

"This thing is indeed somewhat mysterious, but not mysterious enough..."

After a long silence, Li Qi suddenly spoke.

“That’s right. This martial art really does have the meaning of refining the body into a treasure and forging a golden body in the Lingbao Great Sage’s lineage. The Taoist in my dream called himself the Lingbao Great Sage, and he was right.”

"But the meaning is just meaning; the content is too empty, as if it is missing the most important part."

Wen Junxian nodded, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think to himself, "As expected of someone who can slay demons and prove himself, he knew that his body was a treasure and took three days to refine, but Li Qi only had to look at it once to understand it."

At this time, Li Qi's inner vision had returned to calm. Although this martial art had many problems, he still gained something. Now, his progress in the Great Qi Yuan Technique had jumped by 1% in a short period of time.

Such a small gain is a bit unfair to Wen Junxian, who had already had a wonderful experience of dreaming of a magical treasure and gaining divine power, and hearing four lines of proverbs.

Given these circumstances, if this were a story, Gao would be a protagonist of an era.

"However, first there was Wu Le's grand dance, and now there's the fake golden body technique. It can't be that these things only have incredible effects on Lord Yu, and that Wen Junxian and I are both living the script of the chosen one, the old man?!"

"That's a bit inappropriate..."

At this moment, Li Qi couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
