Chapter 1022 - The Five Qis Return to Their Origin (2/2)
Happy thought of something, and he could not help but ask, “Senior, are you talking about the state of five qis returning to the origin?”
“That’s right.”
Mad Monk’s voice traveled clearly into his ears from the fog. He continued speaking, “But martial artists can only understand the world once all five of their qis return to the origin. They will be able to do everything easily, and you can do everything. You can learn every martial art in the world even without a master teaching you, and you can even reach the stage where you can win against someone using a skill even when you are not using any skill. However, having the five qis return to the origin is not easy.”
“Senior, I was thinking about asking you for advice in this regard,” Happy said excitedly.
Mad Monk did not have any intention to hide his knowledge, but the information he revealed caused Happy to feel a little stricken.
“I cannot give you more advice regarding how to have your five qis return to the origin. At that time, I was lucky enough to reach this stage because of Marrow Cleansing Classic. It completely changed by body constitution, and I was able to reach a breakthrough during the battle thirty years ago and enter One with the World, which is the stage where you have five qis return to their origin.”
“Senior, are you saying that you only had your five qis return to the origin and reached One with the World Realm during the battle thirty years ago?”
“That’s right.” Mad Monk said nothing for a while before he answered with a slightly sentimental tone, “I know that you came for Marrow Cleansing Classic. But I already told you that even if you have mastered Tendon Changing Classic, you will still need three years before you can practice Marrow Cleansing Classic, because this classic isn’t like other classics.”
“I am willing to listen.”
“Marrow Cleansing Classic is as its name entails. It will cleanse the marrows in the body and further strengthen the body and the mind. Hence, it is unlike normal martial arts. You will need to rely on your own willpower. You can’t practice it as you did with Tendon Changing Classic either. You cannot improve it through training your physical body. You can only understand everything about Marrow Cleansing Classic when you are in the throes of death, and the higher your qi realm is, the more of its profound nature will you understand.”
“In the throes of life and death?” Happy was in a daze.
Mad Monk explained patiently, “I had you wait for three years because you cannot understand the essence of being caught between life and death with your current qi realm. It will be difficult for you to notice the potential changes in the body when you are caught between life and death.”
Happy said nothing. He still could not understand it, and he could not help but take a few steps into the fog. “Potential… Related to qi realms…”
“Allow me to put it in simpler terms. I mean that the higher your qi realm is, the higher the possibility of you experiencing the profound nature in Marrow Changing Classic during life and death. Then, you will naturally understand even more.” Mad Monk’s explanation this time finally allowed Happy to obtain something important.
He thought of something, and he asked, “Qi realm is related to Marrow Cleansing Classic, so are you saying that only when a person has reached One with the World would I be able to push Marrow Cleansing Classic to a higher realm?”
“Yes, that’s about right. You will only be able to gain some enlightenment when you are caught in the throes of death at Moksha Realm. In fact, you will only gain a superficial knowledge of it. When you reach Inaction Realm, you will have the right to understand the second level. You can form your own analogies based on this.
“Also, the higher your qi realm is, the possibility of you obtaining an understanding of everything after you escape from death will be higher.” Mad Monk’s explanation finally allowed Happy to have a rather deep understanding toward Marrow Cleansing Classic.
Mad Monk should be implying that he should only come here when his qi realm was higher, because by then, the possibility of him understanding Marrow Cleansing Classic during life and death would be higher.
Just as he expected, Mad Monk’s voice came to him once more, “I had you come three years later because I wanted you to have accumulated enough strength. Three years later, when you have reached Inaction Realm or even higher, you will have an easier time trying to understand Marrow Cleansing Classic.”
“I understand now…” Happy knew that he had already obtained his answer.
Being caught between life and death could allow Marrow Cleansing Classic to improve, but being attacked by three martial artists at the beginning stage of Myth Realm in a sect prison was far from enough to fulfill that requirement. Just as expected, the difficulty in training Marrow Cleansing Classic was very high.
Besides, it seemed like the understanding he could gain, even if he could, was very limited because of his qi realm.
This caused Happy to be slightly disappointed.
Happy bade farewell to Mad Monk and used half a day to hastily return to Beijing. He threw himself back into the sect prison, and Happy returned to the world three years later.
When he returned to this side, the first thing Happy did was to give up on continuing with isolated training in Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. He asked for Shi Zhixuan’s whereabouts from Wandering Know-it-all, since he was a powerful martial artist at the peak of Myth Realm. There were already not many people in the entire Chinese server who could threaten him. Now, aside from martial artists at the peak of Myth Realm, those normal Myth Realm martial artists already had a hard time making him experience the feeling of being caught between life and death.
However, before he left Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, Happy still spent some time understanding the world outside.
The situation was very bad.
Ever since One Emperor massacred the dozens of top-class elites scattered outside Beijing and Class One Hall had six of its branches destroyed under Wind Assault Tower’s offense, Class One Hall worked together with Blood Alliance, Assassin Hall, Heaven’s Music Sect, and Heavenly Heroes Sect, which had publicly announced that they would join Class One Hall’s alliance recently, to destroy more than twenty of Wind Assault Tower’s branches. Wind Assault Tower lost nearly fifty thousand people, and they suffered devastating losses.
Besides, this was the number of casualties suffered when Class One Hall and Wind Assault Tower both held back.
If it were not because both sides had different thoughts in their minds, the Chinese server would have been bathed in blood since a long time ago. There was no way that only this number of casualties would appear after four days had passed since the battle.
However, while both major sects were rather cautious with the big operations from their branches, the fights and conflicts held in secret waged madly. Over the past few days, the people from the two sects did not dare spend too much time training in one place, much less in Ghost’s Domain, which was a high-grade training spot.
As long as they left the city, everyone would be in a state of great alarm, because they might be ambushed at any moment!
‘Shi Zhixuan is at the ruins of Dafo Temple. That place can be considered to be a rather popular training ground. I might not be able to last through this trip peacefully.’ After Happy left Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, he immediately noticed that someone had begun tailing him, and he could not help but quirk an eyebrow.
