Volume 1: Martial World Chapter 65: Zi Xia
Of course, whether the secret book really has its own ideas is none of Ye Wen's business. Now he is very excited that he can get a suitable martial arts.
Even if Zixia Shengong's performance in the original work is not satisfactory, Ye Wen doesn't think it's a problem with the secret book.
The only person who appeared and practiced this set of martial arts in the original work was the then leader of Mount Hua Sect, while at that time, Mount Hua Sect had nothing but an empty mountain gate and a single female apprentice.
To think about it, when Ye Wen first learned of his situation, he really thought he had crossed over into Mr. Yue's body! After all, at the time, their situations were indeed very similar, except that Ye Wen was even more miserable than Mr. Yue.
Apart from the sect being snatched away, his master and ancestors didn't leave him enough foundation to turn things around. If it weren't for inexplicably obtaining a mysterious ring, Ye Wen would probably still be racking his brains over how to survive in this world, let alone manage such a huge family business.
Mr. Yue Da is different, he has the secret book of martial arts left by his ancestors, and the prestige of his ancestors as a backing, Huashan School is not short of fame or martial arts, what it lacks is only disciples. Even when Huashan School was declining due to internal strife, many ordinary people and even local tyrants who relied on this major school in Central Plains did not choose to abandon Huashan.
It can be said that Mr. Yue's starting point is much higher than Ye Wen's, but relatively speaking, the pressure on Mr. Yue's shoulders is not something that Ye Wen can compare to.
As long as Ye Wen achieves some results, he can become the most successful leader of Shu Shan Sect. Even if Ye Wen is now lying on his laurels and feeling satisfied with the current situation of Shu Shan Sect, his future generations will still praise him as the true founder of Shu Shan Sect's prosperity and the cornerstone of Shu Shan Sect.
After all, the poor and white sect now has a large mountain gate, and also has a gradually perfect martial arts system, all of which are thanks to the current leader Ye Wen. No one dares to say that they can do better than him in Ye Wen's situation at that time - of course, they will not know what Ye Wen relies on most.
The head of the Yue family is different!
At that time, with the reputation of Huashan School, Mr. Yue led the revival of Huashan, at most, it would only leave a thin name in the history of the school, and later generations would mention that Huashan School had gone through a great crisis, and the current generation of Yue's gatekeeper successfully resolved all this.
Because of the resources in his hands, everyone thought that the revival of Huashan School was a matter of course! Even Mr. Yue himself had never thought about the possibility that the school could not be revived.
So, Mr. Yue's shoulders bear a huge pressure, he has no reason to fail, so he has to put his energy into the development of the sect. In the original book, Mr. Yue is very enthusiastic about some things that can make a name for himself in Jianghu, whether it is chasing and killing evil bandits who harm Wulin, or helping Huashan and surrounding areas to eliminate bandits, he will always go all out to handle them and earn fame for the sect.
At the same time as restoring Huashan's reputation, Yue Zhangmen's cultivation time was naturally compressed indefinitely, so Ye Wen always understood that his martial arts skills could not reach a certain level.
Having understood this layer, the Purple Mist Divine Art cannot display the power it should have as a divine art, and it's not unacceptable because it's not that the martial arts is no good, but rather the practitioner can't fully devote himself to cultivating this set of divine art.
So, can Ye Wen? After all, Ye Wen's situation is even more precarious than Yue Zhangmen's. Not only has the sect just established a thin reputation, but there are also strong enemies lurking around. In this environment, Ye Wen also has to worry about managing the sect, so how can he guarantee that he can devote enough energy to his personal cultivation?
If it were the previous time, Ye Wen might still have to worry a bit, but after having Juegu's help, he didn't doubt at all that he could successfully cultivate this set of divine skills in the shortest time.
According to his understanding of the martial arts strength in Pingzhou, as long as he can initially cultivate the Purple Mist Divine Art, his Shu Mountain Sect will be able to stand firm in Pingzhou and no longer have to look at anyone's face or live a life of flattering others.
After all, the original work of Zixia Shengong is not outstanding, but there are some words and phrases that reflect the power of Zixia Shengong. Considering that Yue Zhangmen has not cultivated to the highest level, the Zixia Shengong that can reflect this power is still worth expecting.
"Zi Xia Shen Gong! Let me see just how extraordinary you can become after I've trained you to the highest level!"
On the thin book in his hand, the four characters "Zi Xia Secret Book" were written. Because Ye Wen's eyesight had improved a lot, he didn't need to light a lamp and could see clearly under the weak firelight on the table and the faint light coming through the window.
A thin book of Zi Xia secret recipe, but the content is not small. From the most basic entry-level cultivation to the final cultivation of divine power, from the method of cultivation to the state that each level should have, it is detailed and listed in detail. After Ye Wen crossed over, he felt that his ears were clear and his eyes were bright, and his memory was getting better and better. He read this book for a long time before finishing it.
But this is just after finishing reading, and there hasn't been any careful consideration of the meaning of many sentences.
At the same time, Ye Wen roughly flipped through it this time, mainly looking at what kind of state and strength each layer of Zixia Shengong would have, without carefully reading the cultivation incantation, because what he wanted to do was just to have a certain understanding of this divine power first, rather than hastily starting to cultivate.
"It seems my guess about this martial art was correct, the Great Palm Sect's leader has not only failed to reach the highest level, but hasn't even completed half of this divine technique! However, if it's really as written in this secret manual, then it's understandable that Yue Buqun gave up on cultivating."
Because Ye Wen found that if he followed the Zixia Secret Manual, this set of divine skills would be at most a good secret manual before reaching the final completion, and the practitioner using it was not worthy of being called a divine skill, the Zixia Skill was more suitable.
At this time, the person who is cultivating Zixia Gong still has the original internal energy in his body. It would be more accurate to say that Zixia Gong is a method of using internal energy rather than an internal energy cultivation technique itself.
In addition to being able to mobilize internal energy to injure the enemy like ordinary internal skills, Zixia Gong can make the practitioner's control over their own internal energy more at will. As mentioned in the original text, Linghu Chong had multiple strands of different true energies colliding within his body. If he practiced Zixia Gong, he could heal himself and dissipate these different true energies on his own.
At that time, Ye Wen and some book fans had speculated about this plot. It is known that at the time, Linghu Chong was seriously injured, and Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong did not turn against each other, he still valued this younger brother, thinking that he would not say such things just to show off. So this point should not be Mr. Yue bragging, then the Purple Mist Skill should indeed have this ability.
After reading the secret recipe, Ye Wen was even more certain of this speculation. The Purple Mist Skill indeed has a rather unusual ability to manipulate internal energy, and its unique way of dissolving heterogenous true energy to heal internal injuries is also quite special. At the same time, the Purple Mist Skill can also be used to cultivate one's own internal strength, it's just that the initial effect is not obvious. From these few points alone, the Purple Mist Skill shouldn't be evaluated so lowly.
However, the key point is that Zixia Gong is not like Jiuyang Shengong or Jiuyin Zhenjing, where after practicing, one's true energy is transformed into Jiuyang or Jiuyin true energy. When practitioners of Zixia Gong circulate their energy, the energy running through their meridians is itself Jiuyin true energy.
Zixia Gong does not have this feature. Each time Zixia Gong is used, the practitioner must emit Qi, and when circulating Qi, there is a notable characteristic of facial purple flush.
It wasn't until he read this part of the book that Ye Wen remembered that in the original novel, every time Yue Zongwu used the Purple Mist Technique, it was specifically mentioned that he needed to release his power. In one section, it even wrote that Yue Buqun had only received a move in his normal state, and in his heart, he secretly thought that if he had used the Purple Mist Technique just now, things would have been different.
It can be seen that when using the Purple Mist Technique, the practitioner needs to intentionally activate it, unlike those few divine techniques where once the inner energy is cultivated, it automatically converts and naturally circulates the corresponding true energy during normal practice.
This makes the Purple Mist Technique seem a bit troublesome, and the original text's Yue Dapengmen only practiced to this level. However, when Ye Wen flipped to the back of the secret book, he found that as the Purple Mist Technique progressed, it would gradually improve this situation, and also gradually shift from manipulating one's internal energy to cultivating internal energy.
Especially after completing the last step of the Zi Xia Gong, all the internal energy is transformed into Zi Xia True Qi. At that time, all the flow in the body is Zi Xia True Qi, and it is no longer necessary to deliberately release one's power. With a casual strike, the contained power is all Zi Xia Qi.
At the same time, after practicing to the last step, the user of the book's words initially releases their energy as if it is present but not, soft and gentle like clouds and mist. However, the stored energy is extremely strong and resilient, later spreading out to cover the entire sky and earth, with an unstoppable momentum.
It can be seen that once the Zixia Divine Art is cultivated, its power is not only mighty but also has a strong aftereffect. If it really reaches this level, it can be compared with the Jiuyang Divine Art, which is said to possess powerful internal force after cultivation, and does not humiliate the two words "Divine Art".
Only when the last step is achieved can this Purple Mist Divine Art be considered divine. Before that, it's just called Purple Mist Art at most. However, as one progresses in cultivating this art, the difficulty increases, and I suppose Mr. Yue also tried to break through to a higher level many times but found it difficult to achieve results, ultimately choosing to give up.
Having understood the details inside, Ye Wen also knew everything he wanted to know. This set of martial arts was absolutely not inferior in his eyes, although it was difficult to cultivate and had many restrictions.
Zi Xiaogong has limitations on internal skill cultivation from the very beginning, because the early stage of Zi Xiaogong emphasizes control over one's own inner strength. If you don't have much inner strength to begin with, what can you manipulate? Ordinary people would worry about their own cultivation being insufficient for practice, but Ye Wen doesn't worry.
Because his ring can summon it, it means that his current cultivation is capable of cultivating it. As for whether he can use its due power, that's another story.
Of course, he wasn't worried about this either. With the help of Han Chi and Xiao Han Guo, as long as there was enough time, any divine skill could be practiced to perfection. Ye Wen deeply believed in this. However, thinking back on his own experiences and his master's surname, he discovered that he actually had a connection with that Yue Zhangmen after all.
