Simulation: My family's financial situation is infinitely improved

Chapter 29 [Integrating Hundreds of Martial Arts and Creating Own Magical Skills]

Lin Heng nodded and agreed to Xiao Rang's proposal.

Although there is no clear path to break through from the Grandmaster to the Heavenly Man Realm, reading more martial arts secrets to enrich your martial arts knowledge may help you learn by analogy.

"What's in these stone chambers?"

Lin Heng glanced at the bookshelf and cast his gaze towards the stone chambers with closed doors in this underground space.

"This is where the sect's masters of all generations used to seclude themselves in their later years. When their time was up, they would enter and fight for their lives. If they succeeded, the stone door would open automatically and they would be buried inside. If they failed, they would be buried inside."

Xiao Rang spoke.

Seeing Lin Heng's puzzled expression, Xiao Rang explained:
"A Grandmaster of the first level has a lifespan of at least 120 years. Those proficient in health preservation can live to 150. After that, each level of cultivation increases lifespan by ten years. For someone like me, even if I don't achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation, living to 180 years is not a problem."

"With this lifespan, by the time I'm old, my wife's descendants will probably have died first, and those who have been passed down for many generations won't be considered close. Plus, my indestructible body hasn't decayed for many years, so I don't want to be desecrated. So I just buried myself here."

As he spoke, he opened a stone chamber.

On the walls of this stone chamber, there are many sword marks with silver hooks and iron paintings. If you carefully study these sword marks, you can feel an immortal sword intent containing an emotion of unwillingness, and you can comprehend the peerless sword skills from them. These were all left by the masters who once meditated here.

In a corner of the spacious stone chamber, there was a cold jade coffin.

Through the translucent coffin, you can see an old man with white hair and wrinkles lying inside.

If it weren't for his pale face and lack of breath, it would be okay to say that he was asleep.

"This is my master, your grandmaster Zhang Qing, the previous head of the Cloud Sword Palace. Zhang Yuan, who rescued you from the blood pool in the underground palace of Lihen Pavilion, is his descendant."

"Among these stone chambers, those with dark lamps placed at the doorway have been used. You can go in and comprehend the traces left behind, but remember not to move the coffins in these stone chambers. Do not desecrate the ancestors."

"One day, when I die, it will be you, Heng'er, who will help me close the coffin."

Xiao Rang spoke calmly, having seen life and death for a long time.

Lin Heng and Zhang Yuan have a good relationship.

After all, he saved his life, so Lin Heng was usually very close to this senior brother. They often played chess and chatted together after practicing, but he did not expect that he had such an identity.

When Xiao Rang mentioned the matter of life and death, Lin Heng comforted him, "Don't worry, Master. Perhaps I can soon break through to the Heavenly Man Realm. Then I can find a way to lead everyone to ascend together. We can go to the upper realm and enjoy immortality, and there will be no need for separation from life and death."

Xiao Rang smiled, not taking it seriously, and said casually, "Then I look forward to my disciple's early breakthrough."

The chat ends here.

Next, Xiao Rang left, leaving Lin Heng alone here.

He bowed in the direction of the coffin, and then began to comprehend the sword marks left here by the sect's predecessors, and to feel the sword intent that had been sublimated to the extreme before his death.

These sword intentions were of great help to Lin Heng, allowing him to see the road ahead and understand the direction in which his artistic conception should be improved.

At the same time, Lin Heng was constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to nourish his body, and then refining essence into qi, and refining qi into spirit, so that his internal breath and spirit continued to grow stronger, approaching the limit of the first level of grandmaster.

For the next period of time, Lin Heng stayed in this underground place, even relying on the spiritual food that Xiao Rang brought down for him to eat. With each passing day, Lin Heng could feel that he was getting stronger than the day before.

This strength is not only reflected in the growth of his physique and internal energy, but also in his spirit. His sword intent is absorbing the nutrients provided by the predecessors of Yunjianmen and is constantly becoming stronger.

It took Lin Heng a month to comprehend all the sword intent left by the sages in this underground space.

Next, he began to read the many martial arts secrets stored in this underground space.

The martial arts included here are not ordinary. Even some martial arts that are only suitable for practice in the acquired realm have some characteristics.

With the blessing of Lin Heng's photographic memory, ability to master what he learned and master what he practiced, he transformed the tens of thousands of secret books in the underground library into his own foundation and accumulation at an extremely astonishing speed.

If Lin Heng only learned martial arts before, he has now reached a whole new level.

He read through hundreds of martial arts, combined his own practice experience with a lot of theoretical knowledge, and truly gained the most profound and essential understanding of martial arts. He began to have the ability to innovate in martial arts and truly possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster who would carry on the tradition.

At this time, Lin Heng began to examine the achievements he had made in his practice so far.

"Now, I am just a standard Grandmaster-level martial artist trained by the Cloud Sword Palace martial arts training system. My martial arts don't have any unique characteristics of my own. They are just a repetition of the paths of my predecessors."

"It can display the standard combat power of a Grandmaster, but that's all."

"I need to revise the martial arts I've learned, fully adapting them to my own artistic conception and personality, and creating martial arts tailored for myself. Only then will I have the possibility of breaking through to the Heavenly Man Realm."

Lin Heng was thinking, trying to decide what path he would take in the future.

He didn’t have the ability to create his own martial arts before, but now it is not difficult for Lin Heng.

The knowledge he possesses is sufficient for the realm he is in.

“The essence of spiritual practice is to elevate one’s body and mind, to live longer and better.”

"So, for this new technique, after ensuring top-notch training speed, the first thing to focus on is survivability. Movement speed, defense, and recovery ability—these three attributes are of paramount importance."

"Then, we must strive to possess as much combat power as possible while ensuring survivability."

Soon, Lin Heng determined the general outline of this new martial art.

Next, he began to call upon the martial arts database he had accumulated over the past period of time, extracting the essence from it and filling it into the framework of his new martial arts method.

After constant revisions, a new set of skills soon emerged, which was based on the martial arts that Lin Heng had practiced for many years, "The True Art of Cloud Sword", "Piaomiao Zhengang", "Piaomiao Sword Technique", "Swift Wind Cloud" and "Hunyuan Finger", and integrated the essence of hundreds of martial arts.

Next, Lin Heng began to put this newly created technique into practical use and adjusted it during the process.

Delete what doesn't fit and look for areas that can be strengthened.

Through repeated iterations, the martial arts technique created by Lin Heng began to be continuously improved and gradually approached perfection.
