The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 230
When people look forward to the future, the future seems far away.

But when time passed unconsciously, the future became reality in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed quickly.

During this year, Shen Youzhi continued to fill in the details within the framework set up before, and continued to revise and improve it, and finally fully deduced the fifth floor's exterior lighting skills.

For him, this is a significant leap.

It not only marks that he has independently completed the derivation of martial arts, but also represents the complete establishment of his own martial arts system.

Whether it is knowledge or martial arts, the learning process is actually the same.

From the initial imitation, to the accumulation in the middle, to the final summary and sorting, to the establishment of its own knowledge system, and finally to innovate on this basis, creating an unprecedented new system.

This is a necessary process from learner to explorer to pioneer.

If evaluated by the academic system of later generations, Shen Youzhi's achievements in martial arts can already be called an academic master who founded a school.

More importantly, whether it is Sizhao Divine Art, Marriage Dress Divine Art, or Bright Jade Art and Wuxiang Divine Art, they are all the top martial arts classics in the world.

It is rare to be able to learn one of them, and there are very few people who can fully understand the principles.

Like Shen Youzhi, he has never had a complete understanding of the four peerless magical arts from the principle of the method to the concept of the Tao, to the selection of the meridian.

Although there are many warriors in the Jianghu, most of them are just learners. Qiongji has been learning the martial arts left by the predecessors step by step all his life.

For them, being able to practice a martial art to the extreme is already a success.

As for how this martial art came about, what is its purpose, and what is its operating logic, no one cares at all.

Because the predecessors have verified that this kind of cultivation is feasible, so later generations seldom go back and re-examine it.

There are even many people who admire ancient books, thinking that the older and more obscure the exercises, the more powerful they are.

On the road of martial arts, this kind of ethos of "respecting the past and belittling the present" is very popular, as if the people of today must not be as good as the people of the past.

But if this is the case, wouldn't the rivers and lakes be inferior to each other, wouldn't martial arts decrease but not increase?
But this is not the case. The rivers and lakes are like waves, with ups and downs, high tides and troughs, and it is by no means a plummet like a waterfall.

It can be seen from this that the journey of martial arts is not the best left by the predecessors.

It's just that most people don't know how to integrate, analyze, or create, and only enjoy the achievements of their predecessors.

Even if the martial arts are as advanced as Yan Nantian and Yaoyue, they only inherited the martial arts achievements of their predecessors and did not have their own martial arts ideas and martial arts system.

Even if they have practiced the wedding dress magic skill and bright jade skill to perfection, they are just walking on the old road drawn by the predecessors.

The difference between them and other rivers and lakes is that the road they have taken is farther.

But this is not their own credit, but the legacy left by the compilers of the Marriage Dress and Ming Yu Gong.

People like Yan Nantian and Yaoyue, even if they are invincible, can only be regarded as strong, not masters.

There are really very few martial arts masters who can truly create a martial art.

This requires not only profound martial arts attainments and profound accumulation of martial arts, but also extremely high wisdom. At the same time, it takes a lot of time and energy to build and perfect one's own theory through continuous trial and error and improvement.

Such a laborious and extremely demanding job is naturally not accessible to most people.

Just like most people in later generations, they are just the inheritance of knowledge, and being able to learn a knowledge thoroughly is enough to be proud of their peers.

Only a very few people are the creators of knowledge.

It is so difficult to develop a martial arts system, but it is even more difficult to create a system of martial arts.

In analogy, creating martial arts is equivalent to publishing a top-level journal article in later generations, and creating a martial arts system is equivalent to creating a branch of discipline.

In the course of the development of any discipline, such people are pivotal enough to be famous through the ages.

It's a pity that the founders of the martial arts system like Bodhidharma and Sanfeng are really rare, and there may not be one in the hundreds of years of rivers and lakes.

Patriarch Bodhidharma created Shaolin martial arts with the idea of ​​Zen Buddhism, which has been passed down through the ages.

The founder of Sanfeng created the Taijiquan sword with the true meaning of Taiji as the body, making the new Wudang sect become the master of martial arts, which can be compared with Shaolin, which has been passed down for thousands of years.

Achievements like theirs can transcend time. Even in the past 100 or 1000 years, their achievements will not dissipate.

Compared to them, many so-called invincible powerhouses have long been turned into inconspicuous dust in the long river of history.

Although no one knows about Shen Youzhi's achievements, his current achievements are by no means inferior to that of Bodhidharma.

His martial arts system takes "inner and outer universe" as its conception, and regards himself and the world as two connected systems.

Between the two systems of the universe of heaven and earth and the microcosm of the human body, there is both material exchange and energy exchange.

Through the human body's yin and yang, the energy circulation of the two systems of the human body and the sky and the earth is opened up, so that energy can enter the small universe of the human body from the big universe of the sky and the earth.

Use the natural energy of the macrocosm to nourish the three treasures of "essence, qi, and spirit" in the human microcosm, and realize the transformation from the acquired to the innate, and from the mortal to the immortal.

If explained in the language of modern thermodynamics, this is the process of entropy reduction inside a system.

It's a pity that the martial arts system created by Shen Youzhi is destined to be practiced by himself alone.

Moreover, Shen Youzhi himself has only completed one-third of this road, and is currently approaching two-thirds of it.

There is a road, all that is left is to walk along this road.

Because it is a martial art derived by myself, no matter the line of energy or the needs of the state of mind, it perfectly fits with myself, and the practice is naturally smooth and unimpeded, as if it came naturally.

In just a few months, Shen Youzhi completed the cultivation of external illumination skills.

After the external illumination skill is practiced, the yin and yang qi in Shen Youzhi's body are already extremely pure, and can be freed from the constraints of the physical body and released to the world.

Thanks to this, his perception has also been greatly strengthened.

External illumination can observe the external world and gain insight into the essence of things.

As long as Shen Youzhi gathers the yin and yang qi in his eyes, he can see all the tiny changes in the world, and even see the inner world through the appearance.

In his eyes, the world is completely different from the past.

"Mountain" is no longer just a general concept. Its terrain trend, mountain shape changes and even geological structure can be seen at a glance.

"Water flow" is no longer a simple line. The ups and downs of the water surface, the change of the size of the water flow, and even the increase and decrease of the water volume have become extremely clear.

Even an ordinary tree has become extremely complicated in Shen Youzhi's eyes, and all the details are clearly visible.

Even the flow of air, the rise and fall of temperature, and even the energy changes in the surrounding space are all clearly reflected in his heart.

He seems to be able to hear the breathing of the whole world, and can resonate wonderfully with the universe.

When he activated the external illumination technique, he could even see through the flesh and blood of the human body, directly see the internal organs and qi channels, and observe the real qi flow in the meridians of the human body in real time.

This is equivalent to saying that as long as he wants to, he can see through other people's exercises at a glance and take targeted countermeasures.

In other words, Shen Youzhi can understand the route of his own zhenqi better than his opponent, and can even cut off the opponent's zhenqi in advance, so that his zhenqi cannot circulate around the sky and block the opponent's skill.

This kind of martial arts has already surpassed all the magical arts in the world, and can carry out dimension reduction strikes from a higher level.

When he first started to practice external illumination skills, Shen Youzhi was not able to retract freely, and often saw through the human body at a glance, and would always inadvertently see the bones, intestines and stomach, and even blood vessels and meridians in other people's bodies.

It wasn't until he continued to practice that he slowly mastered this ability to see through everything to the point where he could freely retract it.

The outer lighting work has been completed, and it is natural to prepare the Yuan lighting work next.

The so-called "Yuanzhao" is to open the energy cycle of the inner and outer universe, use the natural power of heaven and earth to polish the body, and refine and refine the invincible body.

Compared with breaking through the external illumination skills of one's own inner universe, it is undoubtedly a more difficult step to leverage the energy of the natural universe
