Chapter 340: Chapter 149: The ’Eight Arts’ Surpassing Mortal Martial Limits, Song Brahman Mirror and Ruan Xiuxiu Compete for the Same Husband!

Seeing Song Yuan, towering like a small mountain, collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Feeling shocked at Song Brahman Mirror’s current cultivation progress to such an extent, while feeling gratified at the same time...

Jixia’s heart inevitably felt a twinge of pain.

Girl, you don’t understand my painstaking efforts.

The reason I decided to act on behalf of Song Brahman Mirror and slay Song Yuan was partly to help her avoid the infamous charge of patricide, and on the other hand...

It was such a ’once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunity, not something that can be easily found.

Back then, even the oil-exhausted lamp-extinguished Master of Great Snow Mountain managed to forge his own aptitude from ’Spiritual Level’ to ’Profound Level’.

If only I could use some Demon Suppression Dao Qi and capture a fraction of Song Yuan’s power...

Even if it doesn’t lead to instant ascension to the state of Mortal King Body.

To assist his cultivation to ascend slightly, consolidate the ’Primordial Pill Realm’ foundation, shouldn’t be difficult; at the very least, it would be more time-efficient than my own painstaking cultivation.

Because once you reach the Primordial Pill level, strengthening Dao Qi is just replenishing one’s own cultivation, which is why the importance of the first step of Martial Gate Foundation Establishment and Circulation Qi Gathering Realm is evident.

The Three Realms of Primordial Pill.

Jade Liquid Void Pill, Dragon and Tiger True Pill, Celestial Human Dao Pill, each stage is more challenging than the last, if you follow the rules, it may take decades, and perhaps still can’t cross a hurdle.

Just like the old master Xie Qiaoxuan.

Does he lack ambition to achieve Dragon and Tiger, Celestial Being, and then break through the Celestial Gate Pass, witnessing the higher elegance of True Master Realm?

Of course not.

The Jade Liquid stage emphasizes collecting ’Heaven and Earth Qi’ into the Primordial Pill to continuously nurture and polish.

It sounds like meditation and swallowing breath, daily cultivation, the same as when studying the Yellow Court Realm, but actually it’s not.

This collection of ’Heaven and Earth Qi’ into the Primordial Pill, what it actually collects is the Qi within your Foundation!

What is needed is various graded ’Qi’, such as Dao Lineage, Orthodox Schools, prestigious places with strange Divine Techniques Qi nurtured.

If one only swallows the Heaven and Earth Pure Qi daily, then at most, it can only meet the needs of daily cultivation, and can’t make the Primordial Pill ’from void to real’, causing transformation.

If you cannot make the Primordial Pill transition from void to real, no matter if your cultivation records have the Primordial Pill Technique to refine Dragon Tiger Divine Power, you simply cannot refine it from the Yellow Court Primordial Pill!

This is cultivation, each link is crucial.

If relying on luck and underhanded methods, with an unstable foundation, taking shortcuts to ascend.

No matter if you surpass one step, two steps, three steps...

You will eventually get completely stuck at a certain barrier.

It’s either going back to make amends.

Or your foundation is too weak, leaving no other way but to disperse cultivation and rebuild!

Song Yuan’s life, though uncertain how valuable, can be considered a prime method for Qi replenishment.

But there’s no way; who could have thought his appearance was so impressive, transformed by Dragon Blood, comparable to a giant figure, but under Song Brahman Mirror’s sword, couldn’t withstand even a move...

A mere facade.

Jixia sighed inwardly, while beside him, Ruan Xiuxiu kept holding the sword hilt tightly, poised to strike, without blinking, staring at Song Brahman Mirror’s sword as if turned into a clay statue for quite a while before coming back to her senses.

When she noticed Jixia’s gaze, instantaneously recognizing what he was thinking, she hesitated slightly, biting her lip:

"No, it’s not that Song Yuan was too weak."

Her voice lowered, somewhat incredulous.

But in the next second, Ruan Xiuxiu looked at Song Brahman Mirror who slowly approached, with the ice and snow on him yet to completely settle, hesitated for a moment, but still asked:

"Just now that was... ’Instant Eternal’?"

Instant Eternal?

What’s that?

Sounds like the name of a ’martial art’.

Jixia was bewildered.

He had just broken into the Primordial Pill level, and was still very far from the Zhenren Pass.

Moreover, besides having cultivated the ’Crimson Heart Green Blood Fist’ to the ultimate level, which could be considered presentable, he didn’t have a decent Primordial Pill Technique at all.

His knowledge and experience were not at the same level, so he hadn’t heard of that name.

But as Song Brahman Mirror nodded lightly.

Beside him, Ruan Xiuxiu’s entire being seemed at that moment, as if all her energy had been drained, her tone utterly bitter: 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Turns out it’s one of the rumored ’Eight Techniques’, said to be half a head higher than the world’s martial arts..."

"I heard of these methods during my travels in Great Zhao, never imagined... I would be fortunate to witness it today."

"Worldly martial arts are divided into Foundation Establishment, Prestigious Places, Orthodox Schools, Dao Level Absolute Skills!"

"But..."

"Above these so-called ’half-technique’ Dao Level Absolute Skills... There are the true Techniques!"

"No one knows where those Eight Techniques originated from, but a hundred years ago, during the years when the Great Demon Hunter Master was still alive, they appeared."

"And those possessing them were all famed throughout the world, such as the Empress of the time, and... the Great Demon Hunter Master!"

"I never thought you’d also obtained ’one of them’?"

"No wonder, with the title of ’Sword’s End’ Instant Eternal at your side, once cultivated, winning or losing within the same realm becomes a matter of moments."

"Looking at it this way, the previous rumors about the Northwest Demons and Monsters invading Baoping State en masse, Senior Sister, you defeated three True Masters single-handedly should... have used this sword, right?"

Song Brahman Mirror’s slender jade fingers lightly flicked the Ice Sword, listening to the ’buzzing’ resonance, nonchalantly replied:

"The current Patriarch of Baoping Gu Family, ’Gu Fengchun’, is one of the giant clans and lineages in the world, a branch of the Divine Capital Gu Family."

"Qin Changfeng of the Profound Soldier Cave, has forged two Lifebound Fourth-Rank Daoist Soldiers in his life, decisively with a knife and a sword."
