All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 168 Discussing the Dao, Condensing the Martial Dao Primordial Spirit!
On the other side, Xu Fu was still preparing to slay the dragon, while Chu Xiu, Ye Lingxian, Zhou Wushang, and others were discussing martial arts with Qin Shi Huang, Xiao Sanxiao, the Sword Saint, Wuming, and Guan Yu.

The main focus is on the discussion of martial arts golden elixir and martial arts primordial spirit.

The two sides had a disagreement.

The Sword Saint, Nameless, and Guan Yu believed that the essence of martial arts is combat, and the essence of combat is techniques. Therefore, as long as one's internal energy is sufficient to support the release of techniques, it is enough and there is no need to delve deeper.

What martial arts practitioners should pursue is the way of martial arts, and an understanding of martial arts.

Rather than a quantitative qualitative change in internal strength.

However, both Qin Shi Huang and Xiao Sanxiao believed that strength was the foundation of everything, and that all martial arts techniques were created to unleash one's own strength.

If we neglect the essentials and pursue the trivial, it will be like building castles in the air, and we will not go far.

Both sides hold their own opinions.

It's reminiscent of the "Sword Sect vs. Qi Sect" debate in the martial arts world—the cultivation of true qi and the cultivation of techniques both lead to higher realms of martial arts, and it's hard to say which is more important.

Chu Xiu didn't know what to say about this.

It's unclear whether his "Infinite Man" talent's breakthrough is more important in terms of attributes or skill levels. If the two weren't mutually exclusive, allowing him to have both, he would also be caught in a dilemma.

However, Zhou Wushang soon put forward a concept that made both sides think deeply.

“I think there is a minimum threshold between strength and skill! That is, if you want to advance in one aspect, you must have a minimum strength in the other aspect!” Zhou Wushang said, “You may not have noticed it yourselves, but whether it is Wuming’s Heavenly Sword or the Sword Saint’s Sword Heart Hell, they actually extend from the way of the sword to the ‘primordial spirit’!”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Shi Huang and Xiao Sanxiao.

"If your internal strength continues to improve, you will probably have to cultivate your primordial spirit in about a thousand years, otherwise you will not be able to continue to improve your power, right?"

The two nodded in agreement.

The limitation on the amount of power one can accumulate is not how many years one has cultivated, but how many years of power one can withstand.

The primordial spirit is the key to enhancing controllable power.

"But is the primordial spirit a derivative of techniques or a derivative of internal energy?" Zhou Wushang continued, "Regardless of its origin, one thing is undeniable: to support the sword of the primordial spirit, one must have internal energy to supply it. Conversely, if one's understanding of martial arts is insufficient and one has not comprehended the cultivation of the primordial spirit, one's power cannot be increased!"

She stopped there and said no more.

But everyone had some understanding.

"So the ultimate goal of martial arts, or rather the starting point of a higher level of martial arts, should be to improve one's internal strength through understanding the techniques, allowing it to undergo a qualitative change, and thus in turn improve the techniques?"

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up.

Suddenly realizing, he exclaimed, "I know how to condense my martial spirit!"

This martial arts primordial spirit is naturally not the primordial spirit that leaves the body, but something similar to a nascent soul, an upgraded version of the golden elixir.

It's no longer about practicing martial arts, but about cultivating immortality.

"The combination of Taoist and Buddhist teachings with internal energy to condense the Martial Golden Core is essentially a combination of spirit and true qi, a higher level after the solidification of internal energy." Chu Xiu continued, "I have been thinking about how to further improve it, and now I understand. If we consider the Golden Core as an 'egg,' then further growth is like hatching a chick, turning it from a primitive embryo into a living being!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"So the function of the Golden Core is to incubate martial arts, rather than simply providing internal energy?" Ye Lingxian said. "And the way to 'conceive and incubate' the Golden Core is through the techniques we cultivate, forming our own unique Dao?"

The nameless celestial sword, the sword saint's sword heart hell.

They can all be incubated in the Golden Core!

“That’s right!” Chu Xiu said, “After this kind of incubation, the difference between internal energy and techniques will no longer exist. The martial arts primordial spirit is both internal energy and techniques. Perhaps at that time, it can no longer be called techniques, but should be called ‘martial arts divine power’!”

At this point, everyone was completely excited.

They all tried it.

Even Wuming, who had lost all hope and his sword heart, still tried to condense a martial arts golden core first, and then inject the Heavenly Sword Intent into it, allowing the sword intent to hatch, because of his interest in martial arts itself.

Before long, everyone broke through to the next level.

Both the Nameless One and the Sword Saint cultivated a "natal sword" that existed between reality and illusion; one was the Heavenly Sword, and the other was the Holy Sword, which were their martial spirits. Qin Shi Huang created an imperial seal.

That is his way.

Guan Yu then forged a sword, which he then incorporated into his "Green Dragon Crescent Blade." The divine weapon actually evolved into a magical artifact and entered his dantian.

The Sword Saint and Nameless were both taken aback.

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up, and he said, "So the path ahead is to enter the Dao through martial arts, and swordsmen can refine their natal flying swords and become sword immortals!"

But Xiao Sanxiao, who was standing nearby, tried it but failed.

He only has skill, but his martial arts expertise is not quite there.

His martial arts skills are powerful, but he lacks a unique sense of personal path.

To Chu Xiu's surprise, Zhou Wushang and Ye Lingxian also succeeded quickly—Zhou Wushang goes without saying, he's a cheat code player, his comprehension and cultivation speed are on a cheat code level.

However, Ye Lingxian actually succeeded in cultivating it as well.

Moreover, it wasn't just one sword, but a primordial spirit that simultaneously cultivated tens of thousands of flying swords.

It can be separated or brought together.

When separated, it is "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One"; when combined, it is "Sword Twenty-Three." It possesses the characteristics of both Nameless and Sword Saint, which greatly surprised them.

He was truly a born swordsman.

In comparison, Zhou Wushang's skill in pure swordsmanship is somewhat lower. Of course, it's not that she's inferior to Ye Lingxian, but rather that they've taken different paths.

The primordial spirit she cultivated was a sword composed of lightning.

The sword is merely a form; its essence is lightning.

After completing the training, he became significantly more formidable and truly mastered the thunderous power within the Heavenly Mandate Cloud Fate, thus mastering Lu Bu's ultimate move, "Peerless Heavenly Wrath."

Now, she and Chu Xiu can not only join forces to unleash "Maha Boundless".

The "Peerless Beauty" technique, which Guan Yu and Lü Bu could use together but never did together in their lives, can now be used!

"What is your martial arts primordial spirit?"

Zhou Wushang looked at Chu Xiu with a curious expression.

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I don't know what to call it. Ever since I created the 'Multi-Golden Elixir Method,' my path has been a little different from yours!"

After saying that, he shared his primordial spirit and vision with Zhou Wushang.

The next moment, Zhou Wushang was completely stunned—Chu Xiu had actually used the art of war to nurture his primordial spirit, cultivating three hundred and sixty-five "primordial spirit generals" within his body.

Unlike others, the role of the divine general is not to be used as a weapon to attack enemies.

It also lacks offensive supernatural abilities.

Instead, it changes the body's constitution, allowing the non-acupoint organs and flesh to be sublimated into acupoints capable of bearing true qi and internal energy, at the cellular level.

Furthermore, it elevates true energy and condenses "Primordial Spirit Heavenly Soldiers"!
With Chu Xiu's will as their commander, the soldiers and generals were completely united by their inner strength, giving him a greater "output power".

In this way, it can enhance his already abnormal skills to the greatest extent possible!
The "Internal Force" column has changed to: "[36.6 years (365 million years)]", indicating that the upper limit of internal force he can currently contain has become more than three million years!

Furthermore, there is no need for arduous practice; one only needs to absorb.

Just like recovery.

Every cell in his body is now parched with thirst!
"Nameless, I heard you can open a Sword Realm?" Chu Xiu looked at Nameless and said, "Open one and let me see! That world formed by the convergence of swordsmanship throughout history, wow, it should be quite exciting!"

Upon hearing this, Wuming glanced at him.

"Why do I have this strange feeling, as if you don't want to see, but rather want to eat?"
