Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 354 - 149: True Force (Part 2)

Even for Lin Zheyu, it was the same.

He discovered the issue while sharpening his Martial Dao heart through fierce battles, solidifying his faith in martial arts, and enhancing the dominance of his fists.

"Can the true intent diagram within a true skill directly allow a person to perceive the ’intent’?"

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and asked.

When he attended the auction before, Lee Lingyun mentioned that only cultivation techniques containing a true intent diagram, which can be cultivated to the grandmaster realm, can be called true skills.

He used to think that the true intent diagram should be similar to the visualization map in the Seven Evils Ghost Canon related to soul secret skills.

Now it seems, that’s not the case.

The true intent diagram is likely used for comprehension, to condense ’intent’.

"Mm, that’s correct."

"The appearance of the true intent diagram allows a martial artist to bypass the stage of consolidating Martial Dao faith and directly comprehend the ’intent’."

Lee Mengxi nodded and said.

He now could almost be sure that Zhao Hao in front of him knew very little about the martial knowledge after the Huajin level.

It could even be said he was completely ignorant.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to explain more knowledge to him.

The other party saved his sister and kept that item safe, which was a significant favor even for the Lee Family.

"The Qi Blood Realm stage is the foundational phase for a martial artist; the more transformations in qi blood, the greater the potential for future development."

"The Bone Marrow Refining Realm level is where a martial artist chooses their path."

"The characteristics of true power are related to the ’intent’ condensed during the Bone Marrow Refining Realm."

"True power is the powerful force formed by integrating ’intent’ with all the energy within the body, such as essence, yuan energy, and blood energy."

"This force is the foundation for a martial artist at the Huajin level."

"If Mr. Zhao wants to enhance lightweight skills, you only need to condense a similar ’intent’ as Tang Zhengtao did."

"Such ’intent’ containing the essence of wind is common in the true skills of swordsmanship and saber skill."

"If Mr. Zhao desires it, I can have someone search for it for you."

Lee Mengxi suggested.

Due to the nature of true power, simple leg skills are very rare in true skills.

Improving leg skill techniques and energy usage techniques is like icing on the cake but isn’t as effective as enhancing true power.

Tang Zhengtao, merely by condensing a trace of true power, managed to possess terrifying speed thanks to its nature.

His strength and skills weren’t much stronger than Lin Zheyu’s.

The gap was due to that trace of true power he condensed.

"I see; thank you, Mr. Meng Xi, for clarifying. This drink is on me!"

Lin Zheyu realized, raising his cup to offer Lee Mengxi a toast.

Just by conversing with Lee Mengxi, he gained a lot of knowledge he’d never come across before.

Such knowledge couldn’t be obtained without joining a family or sect.

Ordinary martial arts skills and knowledge could still be bought on the black market, but more advanced ones were unattainable.

"So, Mr. Zhao, have you made a decision?" Lee Mengxi asked with a smile.

"I wonder if the characteristics of true power can only contain one type, or if through cultivating different true skills, it can condense true power that contains multiple characteristics?"

Lin Zheyu didn’t rush to decide; instead, he asked another question.

If the characteristics of true power can only be one, then he must think carefully.

If true power can have multiple characteristics, all the better. With the unique nature of source power, he would surely be able to condense a strong true power containing many special effects.

"Of course, multiple."

"Even if you advance to transforming force and comprehend another ’intent’, you can integrate it to enhance the characteristics and intensity of true power."

"Different ’intents’ need to complement each other and not conflict; otherwise, it might lead to problems during cultivation."

"Of course, comprehending entirely different and conflicting intents is very difficult."

"If the new ’intent’ conflicts with the original, it might crumble before it’s even understood."

"Though it skips the process of consolidating Martial Dao faith, ’intent’ is actually a manifestation of one’s inner self."

"Comprehending completely different intents means impacting one’s own beliefs, a feat only those with extremely firm will and exceptional talent in comprehension can achieve."

"However, more intents aren’t necessarily better."

"Many top experts focus on mastering one ’intent’, elevating it to the peak, resulting in immense power."

Lee Mengxi explained.

Seeing Lin Zheyu fall into silence, he didn’t hasten to push him.

Lee Mengxi leisurely sipped his wine, enjoyed his meal, and admired the moon above, patiently waiting for Zhao Hao to make a decision.

He came tonight mainly to repay the life-saving grace shown to his sister.

Aside from that, he had no other plans.

"Would you trouble Mr. Mengxi to help me choose a saber skill true skill containing the essence of wind?"

Lin Zheyu pondered for a long time before making a decision.

He took the token Lee Mengxi had given him earlier and handed it over.

"Sure, I’ll have someone pick a saber skill true skill for Mr. Zhao tomorrow, and if we hurry, it should be delivered the day after tomorrow."

"The saber intent on Celestial Blade Peak contains the ’intent’ with wind essence."

"I’m planning to climb Celestial Blade Peak tomorrow to comprehend the saber intent. If Mr. Zhao is feeling better, would you like to join me?"

Lee Mengxi invited.

"That is indeed my intention."

"..."

...

Lin Zheyu and Lee Mengxi drank late into the night.

Resolving an issue that had troubled him for a long time, he was in high spirits, unknowingly drinking a bit too much.

Lee Mengxi’s wine was strong, with a high proof, leaving one slightly dizzy after drinking.

Fortunately, Lin Zheyu’s physique was robust; with a slight circulation of qi blood, the intoxication vanished entirely.
