The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS
Chapter 420 - 232: Harvest

Chapter 420: Chapter 232: Harvest

The deduction continued.

The two exhausted all their wisdom, wanting to calculate a method to break through Divine Communication, but alas, that realm was ultimately too distant. Qing Yu and Xiao Meng had not even entered the True Pill Realm, so how could they touch the numerous realms that even those in the True Pill Realm could not reach for decades?

Thus, until Xiao Meng was completely lost, the two never truly found the method to break the barrier.

"At last, it’s still too far away."

Qing Yu sighed, slowly regaining his sanity, and before him, Xiao Meng’s form began to gradually dissipate.

Loss of sanity, akin to death, marked the end of this battle for inheritance.

"Ding, congratulations host, for killing three stars villain·Xiao Meng, you obtained items: Qiuli (three and a half stars), Martial Arts Inheritance: ’Harmonizing Light with Dust’ (Four Stars), ’Ten Thousand Rivers and Seas’ (three stars), ’Heart Like Still Water’ (three stars), ’Heaven and Earth Losing Color’ (three and a half stars)."

Immediately following that, naturally, were Xiao Meng’s Martial Arts Enlightenment.

However, this time, this Martial Arts Enlightenment could not benefit Qing Yu at all, because in the melding of minds with Xiao Meng just now, the Martial Arts experiences of both had already exchanged. Compared to mere memories, this kind of mental interaction was deeper.

"Let’s leave." Qing Yu’s figure gradually disappeared from the Inheritance Space.

"Hu." Back in reality, Qing Yu let out a long sigh.

This gain was unprecedentedly great, not only breaking through to the Late-stage Divine Origin, but the deductions about the True Pill Realm that Qing Yu and Xiao Meng had made also reduced many bottlenecks in his future path.

"Hm... and this sword."

Looking at the Qiuli Sword in the system space, Qing Yu’s eyes flashed with a complex expression.

Though Qiuli was ranked ninth in the Sword List of Qin Dynasty Sword Master Feng Huzi, each of the top 10 famed swords on the Sword List had unique aspects, and the rankings did not define their strength. Ultimately, it depends on the Swordsman wielding the sword.

In terms of the value of the sword itself, in Qing Yu’s view, Qiuli, which heavily inspired Zhuang Zhou of the Taoist School to write ’Carefree Trip,’ surpassed Yuanhong, which was broken by Shark Teeth.

Qiuli had a long inheritance in the Taoist School and profound spirituality. If given enough conditions, it could potentially become a Four-Star Divine Sword.

"Let this sword be the weapon when my True Body is revealed."

Qing Yu took one last look at Qiuli and closed the system space.

With every step, his figure flickered and appeared as though he could shrink distances into mere inches. With just a slight step, he could advance several meters, and if moving at full speed, it was uncertain how much he could push his already swift pace.

Harmonizing with the light, mingling with the dust, as if it still exists.

This highest mental method of the Taoist School, "Harmonizing Light with Dust," when employed, felt as if heaven and earth merged completely. The resistance during movement and gravity underfoot vanished, the invisible shackles of the world disappeared entirely, allowing Qing Yu to cover great distances with a gentle step.

If he could control his form well and maintain his body from issues due to overusing "Harmonizing Light with Dust," Qing Yu could even possibly fly across the sky.

Furthermore, with the two moves ’Ten Thousand Rivers and Seas’ and ’Heart Like Still Water,’ if he had only received system memory transfer, Qing Yu wouldn’t be able to handle the precise manipulation of 1000 layers of Inner Strength like Xiao Meng.

After all, this memory was merely pure memory, not conveying physical muscle memory, to reach Xiao Meng’s level, he still needed practice.

According to his own created move ’Unity,’ he could currently control only 500 strands of Qi Force at the same time, still far from Xiao Meng’s level!

However, Qing Yu, who had undergone mind meld with Xiao Meng, was different.

His right palm slightly lifted, and in the air, 1000 small Qi balloons formed, gathering into a large Qi balloon aggregate on Qing Yu’s palm.

Then, between his closing palms, the Qi balloon shaped into a slender air dragon, flying up and down around Qing Yu’s hand.

In the past, Qing Yu could handle Qi Force manipulation effortlessly, but while his technique was broad, it lacked finesse.

Like this time, the 1000 small Qi balloons and subsequent air dragon, though he could accomplish them, the time consumed and the level of finesse were far from comparable to now.

After the Qi dragon danced on his palm for a while, it dissolved into invisibility. Qing Yu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, feeling an unprecedented ease after this battle with Xiao Meng.

At least in the recent unfavorable situation, breaking through to the Late-stage Divine Origin was a piece of great news for Qing Yu.

"In this way, before the New Year next January, I will definitely reach the stage to forge a True Pill."

Due to the collaborative deductions with Xiao Meng prior, though Qing Yu’s understanding of the cultivation in the True Pill Realm was not clear and a bit vague, advancing to True Pill now had no obstacles.

What Qing Yu should be worried about now was not how to advance to True Pill, but how to defeat the roadblock to advancing to True Pill—the Divine Origin Realm Guardian Boss.

Having struggled with the previous two Guardian Bosses for not a short time, Qing Yu knew their difficulty. The Guardian Boss of the Divine Origin Realm would certainly not be any easier.

Or rather, to say it’s not easy is underestimating them. Postnatal Realm’s Dongfang Bubai and Innate Realm’s Zhu Wushi, both of these reached the pinnacle of their respective realms, if not for some limitations, they would definitely have broken through.

"However, just as the Guardian Boss isn’t easy, I, Qing Yu, am also not easy to contend with." Qing Yu smiled confidently.

While the Guardian Boss indeed stood at the peak of a realm, Qing Yu had undergone the trials of the previous two Guardian Bosses and was newly the peak in the past two realms.

With such substantial foundations, he would no longer be in a weak position when facing the Divine Origin Realm Guardian Boss in the future.

··························

While Qing Yu was contemplating his future path, not far outside the courtyard he was in, a figure exuding grandeur and scholastic elegance passed by.

This person proceeded along the mountain path of Datong Mountain under the watchful eyes of the students, arriving at the gate of Mountain River Academy.

"Senior Brother Wu Qu, your junior brother Si Haofeng presents his respects."

Si Haofeng greeted Wu Qu outside the academy gates.

"Junior Brother Haofeng, you are too polite." Wu Qu nodded somewhat stiffly.

This junior brother was a frequent traveler, seldom visiting the Academy after leaving, and since he settled his wandering feet due to family matters in recent years, his visits became even rarer.

Now his sudden visit, in Wu Qu’s intuition, was probably not for anything good.

As Wu Qu pondered, Si Haofeng asked, "I wonder if our respected teacher is here. It’s extremely rude of Haofeng not to have seen our teacher for many years. This visit, I still need to seek forgiveness from our teacher."

Si Haofeng’s respected teacher was presently the headmaster of Mountain River Academy—Zhuge Longsu.

As a disciple, it was entirely reasonable for Si Haofeng to apologize for not seeing his teacher for many years, but Wu Qu had been suspicious of his intentions from the start, and hearing these words confirmed his suspicions even more.
