Primordial Era: From the Creation Lotus to the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 125 Nuwa Demonstrates Martial Arts, A New Chapter for Humanity

Qinglian accepted the order and immediately began to explain the three most fundamental realms of martial arts (Ming Jin, An Jin, and Hua Jin).

It explains how to strengthen muscles, bones, skin, and membranes from the outside in, condense qi, blood, and strength, and perfectly control oneself to lay an incredibly solid foundation.

Then, at the level of Dan Dao (Dan Jin, Gang Jin), the Qi and blood return to oneness, condense like a cinnabar, burst forth with astonishing power, and release Gang Qi to protect the body and kill enemies.

Until the transcendent realm of Martial Immortals, where one can see the indestructible spirit (internal vision of acupoints, perfect control, intuitive foresight, and a flawless physical body), the Martial Domain (the substance of will, self-contained rules, suppressing all laws), the substance of Martial Intent (the will condenses into form, manifesting the true soul, integrating offense and defense), the undying true self (the true spirit unites with intention, entrusting itself to the void, and as long as the will is undying, the body will not be destroyed), and finally the arduous and infinitely possible concept of proving the Dao through force (Martial Saint), achieving sainthood in the physical body, and transcending the Heavenly Dao.

He integrated his understanding of the power of Pangu creating the world, the fighting skills of the ancestral witches, and the wonders of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, removing the secrets of the specific operation of the techniques, and only explaining the core concepts, the essence of the leap in power levels, and the ultimate pursuit of breaking all constraints in a profound yet simple and clear manner.

Nuwa listened intently, and the eternally flowing holy radiance around her unconsciously accelerated its flow, revealing a rare unease in her heart.

With her unparalleled realm, she could naturally perceive instantly the immense potential and astonishing feasibility of this martial arts system, which was completely different from the cultivation of the primordial spirit in the immortal path and the supernatural powers of the witch clan's bloodline!

That is a pure path that sees oneself as the universe, constantly digging inward, and pursuing absolute power!

"So—so that's how it is—"

After a long while, Nuwa finally let out a soft breath, her beautiful face showing a rare expression of shock and admiration.

"This path—a different way, abandoning external seeking, directly pointing to the source of power, excavating one's own life's divine treasure, although extremely difficult and dangerous, often resulting in being shattered to pieces, once it is mastered, its combat power is so formidable that among those of the same level, it is probably hard to find an opponent, and in close combat, it can be described as invincible."

This—this is indeed a brand new path that promises to prove the Dao through force and directly reach the Primordial Chaos!

She could even vaguely sense that if this path were taken to its extreme, its combat power might be beyond imagination.

A dazzling light of creation shone in her eyes, and she immediately activated her supreme divine consciousness. Based on the conceptual framework described by Qinglian, and combined with her own understanding of the creation of life and the laws of power, she attempted to reverse-engineer and complete the details of the martial arts system up to the Hunyuan level.

However, even for her, the Great Dao Saint who was in charge of creation and was almost omniscient and omnipotent, after a moment of deduction, the brilliant holy light couldn't help but pause slightly, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She discovered that the further one progresses in this martial arts system, the more it relies on the practitioner's own will, physical strength, combat experience, and unique understanding and application of the laws of "force".

Individual differences are extremely large, full of variables and infinite possibilities, making it almost impossible to form a set of universally applicable, fixed, and step-by-step "sage's methods".

It's more like an open framework full of infinite possibilities. How far it can ultimately go depends more on the practitioner's own talent, perseverance, and opportunities.

From the perspective of a sage who has created creation, she can use her supreme wisdom to perfect its basic theory, optimize the efficiency of its qi and blood circulation, and reduce the risks of early cultivation, but she cannot directly deduce the unique and direct path to sainthood, the "Ultimate Realm of Power".

The difficulty, uniqueness, and extreme demands on individuality of this path are evident.

After the deduction was completed, the shock in Nuwa's eyes did not fade, but instead became more solemn and sincerely admiring: "Nephew Qinglian, the path you created is truly incredible, a masterpiece of creation. Although the road ahead is chaotic and extremely dangerous, with nine deaths and one life, its potential is immeasurable."

"Your ability to conceive of and pave such a path for humankind is truly a great fortune for them."

Qinglian promptly informed her, revealing another concern: "Uncle-Master, it is precisely because this path has such great potential that, although I have relied on many opportunities to push its theory to a higher level, I have not passed it all on to the human race."

The currently known level is only the "Martial Soul Realm" (equivalent to the Taiyi Golden Immortal), which is the "substantial essence of fist intent".

The concern stems from the fear that the human race's sudden acquisition of an excessively powerful inheritance could lead to rapid development and an overly aggressive expansion of strength. This could result in the fear that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind, and that prematurely revealing their potential would attract the attention and apprehension of the highest levels of the Lich and Demon races, potentially leading to their annihilation in the face of such a behemoth.

Therefore, further instruction will be temporarily suspended, allowing the student to develop steadily, accumulate knowledge and experience, and await the opportune moment.

Upon hearing this, the Goddess Nuwa deeply agreed, and a look of approval appeared on her beautiful face as she nodded and said, "Your considerations are very thorough, and these are wise words for governing the country."

Although the great calamity has been temporarily postponed due to the teacher's sake, the foundations of the Lich and Demon races remain intact, their strength is still unparalleled in the prehistoric world, and their hatred runs deep. The human race must indeed bide its time and secretly accumulate strength, which is the right path.

Your prudence, consideration for the overall situation, and far-sightedness put my mind at ease.

She pondered for a moment, her holy eyes gazing upon the primordial land, and said, "Since the human race has reached its limit, the shores of the East Sea, though vast, will eventually come to an end."

Relocating and developing outwards to explore new living spaces is imperative.

"I once set up a protective array for the human race to shield their newborn and weak from the storms of the outside world. Now it seems that the human race is no longer the ignorant ones they once were. They have begun to develop martial arts and have a certain ability to protect themselves. It is time to open it up a bit, to let them see the vastness of the primordial world, and to temper and grow stronger in the face of adversity."

Having said that, three streams of clear holy light, containing the aura of supreme creation and the core information of the vast array covering the East China Sea, flowed from her fingertips and entered the ancestral apertures between the eyebrows of the Azure Lotus and the Three Ancestors, respectively.

"This is the method and authority to control part of the key components of that protective array."

You may use this method to carefully open several controllable passages above the great array barrier, allowing the human race to migrate outwards in an orderly and phased manner to reclaim the wasteland. However, you must remember that opening these passages requires caution. The initial scale of the passages should not be too large, and there must be enough strong individuals to guard both ends of the passages to prevent unforeseen circumstances and to support your people.

The main protective array must not be removed; it must continue to withstand the enormous risks that may exist from the outside world, protecting the foundation of this ancestral land of humanity on the shores of the East Sea.

Qinglian and the three ancestors instantly felt a profound and complex array control technique appear in their minds, which was bound to their own aura.

Their minds formed a subtle connection with the vast protective array that covered billions of miles of territory, as if they could sense its immense energy flow and its weak points. They bowed respectfully in unison, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness (Master Uncle)!"

Nuwa nodded slightly and gave her final instructions: "Humanity is newly born, and everything needs to be rebuilt. Moral order is being established, martial arts are being introduced, and pioneering is imminent. There are countless tasks to be done, and you all need to work together wholeheartedly. The primordial land is fraught with danger, not only from the witches and demons. You must not leave humanity for too long. Now that this matter has been agreed upon, return as soon as possible."

"I will obey Your Majesty's (Master's) decree!"

Qinglian and the three ancestors once again bowed deeply in gratitude, and then, at the signal of the Goddess Nuwa, they bowed their heads and slowly withdrew from the solemn and sacred Nuwa Palace.

Leaving the Nuwa Palace, they returned to the chaotic yet no longer unfamiliar primordial world, stepping back into the familiar primordial realm.

Feeling the bustling activity and vibrant life of hundreds of millions of people gathered on the shores of the East China Sea, Qinglian and the Third Ancestor exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement and the heavy responsibility in each other's eyes for the future of their race.

A new chapter has begun. A great wave begins with a single step.
