I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 88: Spirit Body

Xu Yan is currently breaking through the Innate Realm, connecting the bridge between heaven and earth, allowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enter his body, and opening up his Qi Sea in the dantian.

His physical body is also undergoing transformation, seemingly purging away all worldly impurities, becoming flawless and untainted by the mundane.

Innate True Qi is condensing and refining within him.

Boom! Innate True Qi opens up his Qi Sea, circulating through his meridians.

"This is the Qi Sea, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is absorbed and transformed into Innate True Qi..."

Under the impact of the spiritual energy, the Qi Sea continues to expand, and the Innate True Qi keeps increasing.

His massive amount of blood and qi has all been refined into Innate True Qi.

Xu Yan is still in the process of advancing, the transformation is ongoing, the Qi Sea is still expanding, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continues to pour into his body, continuously increasing his Innate True Qi.

However, it seems that the Qi Sea he has opened can never be filled.

"I have already comprehended one Sword Intent, but I have yet to truly understand the true meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm. Now is the time."

Xu Yan thinks to himself.

In his mind, he recalls the scene of his master performing the Dragon Subduing Palm, where a huge golden dragon exudes the aura of a true divine dragon.

Roar!

It seems as if the sound of a dragon's roar resounds within his body. On the bridge between heaven and earth, a giant dragon emerges, rolling with spiritual energy. Originally red, it gradually turns into gold.

A golden dragon!

At a certain moment, the Sword Intent of mountains and rivers emerges, as if showing the vicissitudes of mountains and rivers, the passage of time, within the Sword Intent.

A sword encompasses mountains and rivers, a sword obliterates mountains and rivers!

The Sword Intent surges, and the golden dragon roars.

At a certain moment, the golden dragon seems to open its eyes, becoming even more real.

With a stern gaze, it overlooks all living beings, looking down upon mountains and rivers, its might too great to be directly faced.

In that instant, Xu Yan feels that he has comprehended something.

Boom!

Within his Qi Sea, a golden dragon shadow emerges, hovering and swirling within the Qi Sea, its eyes filled with a stern gaze.

The golden dragon seems to only have an outline, with no dragon scales or whiskers visible. Only a pair of eyes exudes a majestic aura, as if possessing immense power.

"I finally understand. This is the Dragon Might, one of the palm intents of the Dragon Subduing Palm. Its might is unrivaled in the world!"

In that moment, Xu Yan comprehends.

The intent of the Dragon Subduing Palm, the Dragon Might, is suddenly understood.

The violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously surges into his body, pouring in like strong liquor. Xu Yan feels his whole body becoming transparent and comfortable.

His entire being is undergoing sublimation.

Outside the hillside, Li Xuan stands in mid-air, silently watching Xu Yan's breakthrough.

His breakthrough was completed instantly, thanks to the feedback from the Goldfinger.

But Xu Yan's breakthrough is the true cultivation process, not something that can be completed in an instant.

Especially when breaking through from the Lifeblood Realm to the Innate Realm, this is a process that truly transcends the mundane.

"The Sword Intent of mountains and rivers... Did Xu Yan comprehend something during his breakthrough?"

Li Xuan is pleasantly surprised.

There is some kind of transformation happening to Xu Yan's body, not just a simple breakthrough into the Innate Realm. The moment the Sword Intent of mountains and rivers emerged, Li Xuan sensed some changes.

"Is Xu Yan using Sword Intent in his breakthrough?"

Li Xuan's face is filled with anticipation.

This is a good thing. The more monstrous Xu Yan becomes, the stronger the feedback he will receive from the Goldfinger after this breakthrough.

"Xu Yan's physical body is becoming stronger, and the Sword Intent of mountains and rivers seems to have merged with his body, yet it also seems to be something beyond Sword Intent..."

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Xuan was extremely surprised.

Xu Yan was constantly undergoing transformation.

Continuing to silently observe, waiting for Xu Yan's breakthrough to be completed, waiting for Goldfinger's feedback.

Suddenly!

A powerful aura surged from Xu Yan.

As if there was a golden dragon coiling within him.

"Hmm? Could it be that Xu Yan has already comprehended the true meaning of Dragon Subduing Palm?" Li Xuan was overjoyed.

Once the true meaning of Dragon Subduing Palm was comprehended, it meant that the level of Dragon Subduing Palm would be further elevated.

One step closer to truly possessing the power to subdue dragons.

Meng Chong stood on a large tree, also watching Xu Yan's breakthrough. Although he couldn't perceive Xu Yan's changes as clearly as Li Xuan, he could still sense that Xu Yan was growing stronger, giving him a feeling of transcending the mundane.

"So this is the Innate Realm!" Meng Chong was deeply shocked.

"What will it be like when I break through to the Innate Realm while cultivating Flesh Refining Martial Dao?" He still didn't know how to cultivate the physical body in the Martial Dao after the Lifeblood Realm.

His master had not yet taught him the techniques after the Lifeblood Realm.

"I must strive to achieve the Great Sun Golden Bell as soon as possible." Meng Chong thought to himself.

After achieving the Great Sun Golden Bell, his master would teach him the cultivation methods of the Rank One stage.

Xu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly rose slowly into the air.

A golden dragon coiled beneath him, as if lifting him up into the air.

"Finally going to break through." Li Xuan was overjoyed.

Xu Yan's breakthrough meant that Goldfinger's feedback was also about to arrive.

Floating in mid-air, Xu Yan suddenly stood up, his face filled with excitement. He had finally broken through!

At this moment, he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at any time, his True Qi was inexhaustible, and he didn't feel hungry.

Truly transcending the mundane!

In his excitement, he raised his hand and slapped out a palm. The golden dragon roared, its might terrifying, especially its eyes, which were chilling to behold!

Two fingers joined together, a sword pointed out, and the Sword Intent of mountains and rivers swept through, as if it could bury all living beings.

His strength had greatly surpassed his previous self!

At the moment of Xu Yan's breakthrough, Goldfinger's feedback arrived.

Only then did Li Xuan understand what transformation had occurred during Xu Yan's breakthrough.

"Your disciple Xu Yan, who cultivates the technique you created, has broken through to the Innate Realm. Your Innate Realm has reached perfection, and your strength is a hundred times greater than those in the same realm."

"Your disciple's Dragon Subduing Palm has reached the third level, comprehending the true meaning of Dragon Subduing Palm's dragon power. Your Dragon Subduing Palm has reached the third level of perfection, the true meaning of the dragon power has reached perfection."

"Your disciple's Jade Bone Paints Mountains and Rivers, the dragon soars within, transforming into the Spirit Body of the Dragon Soaring Mountains and Rivers. You have obtained the Dragon Soaring Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body."

Dragon Soaring Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body!

Li Xuan was ecstatic. Xu Yan's breakthrough this time had brought him tremendous gains.

His strength soared instantly.

Not long after obtaining the Innate Spirit Bone, he now obtained the Dragon Soaring Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body.

At this moment, Li Xuan sensed the profoundness of the Spirit Body. He didn't need to activate any techniques; the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would automatically enter his body, constantly condensing into True Qi.

There is a natural affinity between the spiritual energy of heaven, earth, and all spiritual beings.

Longteng Mountain and River Spirit Body, within him, it seems as if there is a dragon soaring inside, with hidden mountains and rivers, containing immense power.

"With my current strength, can I dominate the inner domain?"

"Can I even defeat a Grandmaster?"

Li Xuan thought excitedly.

However, the specific situation in the inner domain cannot be taken lightly. Blood Wuxin and Xie Lingfeng may not fully understand the secrets of the inner domain.

A Qi Refining Grandmaster may not be the pinnacle.

Moreover, the difference in strength between Grandmasters can be enormous.

Blood Wuxin's cultivation of demonic techniques may seem powerful, but it actually has hidden flaws.

After all, Xie Lingfeng is still young.

Therefore, one must not become conceited and never think that there are no more strong individuals in this world.

Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong below, hoping that his second disciple would also become more powerful.

Since Xu Yan had made a breakthrough, Li Xuan no longer paid attention to him and left directly, returning to the small courtyard.

In a good mood today, Li Xuan gave Shi Er some guidance and also taught him the method of Internal Organ Refining.

And a strand of Mountain and River Sword Intent emerged, making Shi Er's Bone Refining progress faster.

Shi Er was overjoyed. With this speed of Bone Refining, it wouldn't be long before he completed the tempering of his copper bones.

He didn't expect to achieve golden bones, but after tempering his copper bones, he would start Internal Organ Refining, striving to enter the Martial Dao as soon as possible.

After Xu Yan made a breakthrough, he did not immediately return but continued to consolidate his realm.

Meng Chong stood under the scorching sun, practicing the Great Sun Golden Bell. At this moment, he entered a mysterious state.

In his heart, the great sun resonated with the sun in the sky. A scorching aura spread throughout his body, and the golden light shimmered. The Qi and blood golden bell became stronger and his physical body was rapidly strengthening.

"The great sun in my heart resonates with the sun in the sky. Finally, my cultivation speed has increased. I feel like I'm getting stronger in the furnace."

Meng Chong was extremely excited.

He felt that he was not far from achieving a small success in the Great Sun Golden Bell.

On the third day after Xu Yan's breakthrough, he returned.

"Master, I have broken through to the Innate Realm."

Xu Yan said excitedly.

"Very good, my disciple, you have truly embarked on the path of Martial Dao. Don't slack off and strive to achieve Innate Perfection as soon as possible."

Li Xuan's face was filled with satisfaction.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan respectfully replied.

Looking at Shi Er, who was truly cultivating, Xu Yan sensed a faint Sword Intent lingering around him, which accelerated his Bone Refining progress.

"Master, what is this about Shi Er?"

"Shi Er's talent is average, and his cultivation is too slow. The faint Sword Intent helps him cultivate faster."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Shi Er's copper bones are basically at their limit, but being able to achieve copper bones already means he has stepped out of the ranks of low-level Martial Artists."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Master, can I also use Sword Intent to help my father and them complete Bone Refining quickly?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "The foundation of Martial Dao is built on one's own. Solid cultivation and understanding of the insights of cultivation are the key. Assisting others too much may lead to unstable foundations."

"However, if there is no hope for golden bones, it doesn't matter. You can use Sword Intent to assist in Bone Refining, but it's only copper bones. It can't be considered as unstable foundations."

"You must control it well and not let Sword Intent harm others."

Xu Yan suddenly realized and thought to himself, "As long as I don't have the talent of an ancient genius, I can use Sword Intent to sharpen myself without worrying about unstable foundations."

With this thought, Xu Yan suddenly understood, "So, my master already saw my potential as an ancient genius back then, which is why he didn't use Sword Intent to assist me in Bone Refining. Instead, he let me build a solid foundation in Martial Dao step by step."

"Yes, Master, I understand."

Xu Yan nodded happily.

Since Sword Intent can assist parents and accelerate the progress of Bone Refining, this is a good thing. He also doesn't think that his parents have the qualifications of ancient prodigies.

Moreover, they are older and only started practicing Martial Dao later in life, so they are inevitably a bit late.

Being able to refine copper bones is already quite good.

"Why does Shi Er's copper bones seem a bit weak?" Xu Yan asked in confusion.

Shi Er is currently in the stage of refining copper bones, but he is weaker than when Xu Yan was at the same stage.

"Even though they are both copper bones, there are differences," Li Xuan explained.

"I see!" Xu Yan's eyes lit up and he excitedly asked, "Master, in terms of my jade bones, are they strong or weak compared to other jade bones?"

Li Xuan chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "Strong or weak? Besides me, your master, your jade bones are naturally the strongest, especially now that they have further transformed into the Dragon Soaring Mountains and Rivers Spirit Bones."

But he said, "As long as your Martial Dao heart is clear and you have the belief of never being inferior to others in your lifetime, then you will never be inferior to others in your lifetime!"

Xu Yan immediately pondered.

"Master's words mean that there are jade bones stronger than mine, but as long as my Martial Dao remains firm, I can catch up to them and not be inferior to them!"

With a determined look and high spirits, he said, "Master, rest assured, my Martial Dao heart will never waver. I will continue to cultivate with the belief of never being defeated by any setbacks!"

"Good! With such belief, I believe you will not be inferior to anyone!" Li Xuan affirmed with satisfaction.

But in his heart, he added, "Except for me."

"Master, Xie Lingfeng and the others want to visit you. Should I let them in?" Xu Yan mentioned Xie Lingfeng's matter.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment.

"Xie Lingfeng comes from the Inner Domain Sword Sovereign Cliff, which is a powerful force in the Inner Domain. Moreover, his background is not ordinary, so he must have many Martial Dao techniques."

"If there are techniques from the Inner Domain, it will be easier to create techniques with them as a reference, and they won't end up being weak."

"These two people have been convinced by Xu Yan that the Martial Dao they are cultivating is a pseudo Martial Dao. They must be thinking about how to switch to True Martial Dao."

"The internal energy of a Grandmaster Martial Artist is actually similar to True Qi. To convert it into True Qi, it just needs to be refined and purified, and it will become True Qi. However, it definitely won't be Innate True Qi."

Xie Lingfeng wants to see him, so it must be related to Martial Dao.

The Martial Dao internal energy of a Grandmaster Martial Artist is actually True Qi, but it is just called differently in the Inner Domain.

However, it is much weaker than Innate True Qi.

To convert it into True Qi, it just needs to be refined and purified to enhance its quality.

As for the method, Li Xuan is at least an Innate Realm perfection, and he possesses Innate Spirit Bones and the Dragon Soaring Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body. Compared to other Martial Artists, he is far superior in the use of spiritual energy.

Refining the Martial Dao internal energy and converting it into True Qi is not difficult for him.

It's just a matter of slightly modifying the method of condensing blood and energy into Innate True Qi.

Of course, the True Qi derived from the Martial Dao internal energy will definitely be weaker than pure Innate True Qi.

However, compared to Martial Artists with golden bones or jade bones, it may not be much weaker, especially since the Martial Dao internal energy in the Inner Domain also varies in strength.

Xie Lingfeng's Martial Dao internal energy is stronger than Xu Yan's Bloodless Heart.

If he refines it into True Qi, although it may not be as good as Xu Yan's Innate True Qi, it will definitely not be inferior to Shi Er's Innate True Qi. After all, Xie Lingfeng is a prodigy in the Inner Domain.

"It's fine, let him come when he has time," Li Xuan nodded.

Xie Lingfeng also has a background in the Inner Domain, and Xu Yan will eventually go to the Inner Domain. It's a good thing to have some connections for his disciple in the Inner Domain.

Moreover, if a true or false Martial Dao dispute were to erupt, having an extra force would be beneficial.

Of course, the most crucial point is that with Xie Lingfeng and the others, he can obtain Martial Dao techniques from the Inner Domain as a reference, which will make it easier to create subsequent techniques.
