I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Wu Xuanzhu nodded and said leisurely, "It is quite interesting."

"Li Qi is a brave and ruthless man. He has crippled and killed quite a few people, which makes him quite unpopular. This outcome is to be expected, and many people applaud it."

"But Wan Yu came to him not because she had a grudge against him, nor to help him, but because she disliked him for some nitpicking reason. It was a case of 'what goes around comes around.'"

"Now, after more than ten years, Wan Yulai broke the record two years ago at the age of thirty-three, becoming the youngest owner of the 'True Dragon' title."

"For the next two years, he won one victory after another, and once again won two more 'True Dragons' on 'Millennium Island'. He demonstrated overwhelming combat power, and no one could compete with him. He was known as the 'Uncrowned Eternal True Dragon'."

"Even if I were to face him, I wouldn't dare to claim victory so easily."

Wu Xuanzhu smiled and said to Xue Jing, "Well, what are your thoughts after hearing this?"

Xue Jing did not answer the question. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "Senior Wu, what school of martial arts does Wan Yulai use, the 'Dragon Manifestation Style'? Is it related to my 'Hidden Dragon Style'?"

Wu Xuanzhu had a good impression of Xue Jing and didn't mind that his question was impolite. Instead, he smiled and said:

There are countless martial arts schools in this world with 'dragon' in their names. It's not surprising to stumble upon one by chance; it's probably just a coincidence.

"The Hidden Dragon Style was derived by your master, Li Qi, from an ancient martial art called 'Hidden Dragon in the Sleeve.' It is a semi-original style, and he is half the founder."

"The origin of Yanlongliu is quite mysterious; it had never been heard of before Wan Yulai took action."

"No matter how talented Wan Yulai is, it is impossible for him to create and cultivate a complete and powerful school of martial arts in his teens. To create something out of nothing without sufficient accumulation is something only a god can do."

"However, he never mentioned the origin of Yanlongliu's skills. I guess he was taught by a powerful figure who was hiding his identity."

Xue Jing nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your explanation, senior."

His eyes showed deep thought.

Ancient martial arts, hidden dragons within sleeves, dragon performances...

Wu Xuanzhu stood up from the rock, brushed the dust off his clothes from the fight, and said:

"Alright, we've talked a bit too much... It's time to tell you the purpose of my visit today."

Xue Jing looked at him and nodded, saying, "Please speak, senior."

Wu Xuanzhu considered for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, there is no fundamental conflict between you and my good-for-nothing disciple. He is a weapon in someone else's hands, not someone who is inherently at odds with you and who wants to kill you."

"I have already seen him before. He is basically half-crippled. This is the result of his own actions, so I will not mention it."

"I hope you can give me some face and try not to hold it against him... This is a request, but it doesn't matter if you don't listen."

"As compensation for his attempt to harm you, I will teach you a martial art that you should really need right now."

Xue Jing smiled and said, "What happened on the arena is over. Although he wanted to kill me, just as a lion wouldn't care how much malice a rabbit might have, I won't lay a hand on him again as long as he doesn't provoke me again, out of respect for you, senior."

Wu Xuanzhu nodded and said, "If he really dares to do it again, then I will not plead for him anymore... Let's leave it at that. Xiao Jing, you are a kind-hearted person."

"I am Youqing's elder, and you are related to Youqing... so I should give you a good gift."

His gaze fell on the Forgotten Greatsword stuck in the ground not far away.

"Xiao Jing, you have the skill to wield flying swords? Is this a divinely bestowed secret technique?"

Xue Jing nodded, there was no reason not to admit it: "It's a usage I recently figured out."

He reached out towards the room of the Forgotten Greatsword, making a sword-pointing gesture, and then moved his finger.

The Forgotten Greatsword was instantly drawn out of thin air, floated into the air, and quickly arrived beside Xue Jing, circling and swimming around him like a nimble fish.

Wu Xuanzhu slightly raised his eyes:

"This flexibility..."

Although he had just experienced it briefly, seeing the heavy giant sword, as heavy as a door panel, gliding around so lightly as if it were weightless, he truly understood its spirituality.

"I don't understand the principles of divinely bestowed secret techniques, but since you can control them so skillfully, you must be able to cultivate this extraordinary skill."

Wu Xuanzhu spoke up.

"Today I will teach you the most unparalleled flying sword technique in the world."

Its name is—Mahayana Flying Sword.

……

(There will be more updates later. I'm writing them now, and I don't know how long it will take. Readers, don't wait up, go to sleep now.)

Chapter 263 The Infinite Possibilities of the Mahayana Flying Sword: A Core Piece of the New Combat System (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xue Jing repeated it.

Mahayana... I think it refers to Mahayana Buddhism.

What a cool name! Is it really that arrogant?

"Flying sword techniques are not a method that traditional martial arts practitioners can use."

Wu Xuanzhu spoke up.

"Or rather, it's not practical for traditional martial arts... After we martial artists leap over the Dragon Gate, our spirit and consciousness reverse the limits of heaven and man, and a transformation will occur... But in any case, the spirit is always illusory and intangible, and cannot directly affect real matter."

Xue Jing listened attentively. The person in front of him was a true master at the pinnacle of martial arts, and the martial arts knowledge he spoke of was truly invaluable.

I reckon if they sold it by the character, there would be a long line of people rushing to buy it.

This is an extremely rare opportunity.

“But we can use a method similar to the Taoist ‘severing the three corpses’ by cutting off a part of the consciousness and attaching it to the detached qi, and then using the qi to drive the flying sword.”

"However, this method is not practical. It is difficult for the energy to travel very far from the body, and it cannot be replenished at any time. The power is so-so. Even the most skilled Taoist martial artists would find it hard to say that it is very strong."

"Unless one is a master of the third breakthrough or above, whose qi and consciousness are extremely solidified... but at that level, flying swords are already dispensable."

"Therefore, those who use flying swords are mostly sword cultivators from the new martial arts school and people who have undergone xenograft surgery."

Wu Xuanzhu said.

"The controller is implanted into the brain to control the floating sword with brainwaves. The method used by the new martial arts sword cultivators is to mix a part of their own flesh and blood with special boundary materials to make a sword, which is then buried in the body to cultivate and transform it into a part of the body."

"The 'Great Ascension Flying Sword' that I am about to teach you was created by a newly emerging martial sword cultivator."

“It is named after the Buddhist term ‘Mahayana’, which is so lofty in its intention and so broad in its scope that it has reached the pinnacle of the world and is hard to surpass.”

Xue Jing's eyes gleamed with curiosity and interest.

The Mahayana Buddhist teachings are profoundly insightful.

The word "大" (dà) refers to something like "vast, sublime, and infinite," while "乘" (chéng) refers to a vehicle.

In ancient times, a chariot drawn by four horses was called a "cheng" (乘). There were three armored soldiers on the chariot, seventy-two foot soldiers below the chariot, and twenty-five support foot soldiers.

One chariot carries a hundred soldiers.

When the emperor travels, he is accompanied by ten thousand chariots, signifying his supreme status and nobility; hence, he is also known as the "Emperor of Ten Thousand Chariots".

The term "Mahayana" in Buddhism refers to "an infinitely large vehicle that carries all sentient beings".

Mahayana Buddhahood refers to attaining Buddhahood after 'liberating all sentient beings'.

"Just like the meaning of 'Mahayana' in Buddhism, this flying sword technique is said to be able to contain all the martial arts in the world and condense them on the sword."

Seeing that Xue Jing was very interested, Wu Xuanzhu smiled and spoke.

"Originally, this flying sword technique could only be mastered by new martial sword cultivators with mutated bodies. They could freely transmit their energy to the sword through a 'body sword' that had become part of their own flesh and blood, and use the form of a Mahayana flying sword technique to perform all the skills they had learned in their lives."

“However, when I was fighting you just now, I saw that your fist was coated with a layer of platinum, and then your punching power suddenly increased... and this platinum color just appeared out of thin air on that door panel.”

"I suppose you can channel your energy into the sword remotely without needing to use the new martial arts to mutate your body?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing's eyes lit up with joy.

The most important piece of the puzzle for the combat system he revolutionized through 'Ascension' has been found!

"Please teach me, Senior Wu!"

Xue Jing bowed respectfully.

Wu Xuanzhu stroked his not-so-long beard, waved to Xue Jing, and smiled:

"Come closer."

Xue Jing did as instructed and went to Wu Xuanzhu's side.

"Close your eyes, don't resist, relax."

Wu Xuanzhu spoke up.

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Xue Jing's forehead.

Seeing this, Xue Jing remained expressionless, but prepared to transform into an elemental shadow at any time, and then closed his eyes.

Although he was Young A-Meng's elder, and there was probably no reason for him to harm him at this moment, he still took the most basic precautions.

Wu Xuanzhu's hand, which showed no signs of aging, touched Xue Jing's forehead.

Then, an invisible, cool, flowing power gradually flowed from Wu Xuanzhu's palm into Xue Jing's mind.

"what……"

"Although I already noticed it earlier, this kid's mental consciousness is exceptionally solid, almost like a physical substance..."

Wu Xuanzhu's eyes showed surprise.

"Perhaps this is the secret to his specialness...or is this true of all those chosen by God?"

Wu Xuanzhu thought to himself.

He didn't pay too much attention and continued what he was doing.

"This method is called 'Divine Infusion'."

He spoke.

"I will directly inject the part of your consciousness related to the 'Great Ascension Flying Sword' into your mind."

"The amount of memory is not large, but my spiritual realm is at the fourth level of the Celestial Realm. Even this small fragment of consciousness has an immeasurable impact on others."

“Originally, I should have let it reside in your mind, so that you could learn from it little by little, like watching a movie.”
