High-Level Martial Era

"In the Divine Spear Technique, the mysteries of the two great laws are perfectly combined," Li Yuan silently recalled his initial impressions.

"Time to practice the spear!"

"Focusing solely on the Mystery of Wind indeed wasn't fast enough," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Now that I have condensed the True Meaning of Earth and entered the path... I shall try learning the Divine Spear Technique again and see if I can integrate the Mystery of Wind into it."

Meanwhile.

Li Yuan's peripheral vision swept over a column in the Divine Palace panel:

[Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mystery of Wind (Fifth Stage 19%)]

"After entering the Sixth Stage, there's no longer a distinction between Spear Technique and movement technique?" Li Yuan mused, "And it's no longer giving me feedback in terms of percentages?"

To this, Li Yuan could understand.

Grasping the mysteries of heaven and earth is inherently immeasurable, and the fact that the Divine Palace panel could still vaguely classify them into Initial Rank, Intermediate Rank, and High Rank was already extraordinary.

Like many martial artists who had reached the realm of True Intent, even they often couldn't clearly define their own level of achievement.

The Dao is elusive.

"The progress in the Mystery of Wind isn't slow either," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.

At first glance, the rapid approach to Intermediate Rank in the Fifth Stage of the Mystery of Wind seemed much faster than before when contemplating the Mysteries of Earth... but that was because Li Yuan had already completed the foundational body and spirit from the First to the Fourth Level.

And now, Li Yuan's spiritual power had grown tremendously.

Even if he were to try contemplating the Mysteries of Water or the Mysteries of Fire now, he would also start directly from the Fifth Stage.

"Drip-drop~ Drip-drop~

Huff! Huff!

The sky had started to drizzle, and Li Yuan, facing the wind and rain, began to practice his spear technique once again.

...

Several hundred kilometers away from the entrance and exit of the Martial Divine Star Realm.

In that mysterious Dark Space, a vague figure sat upon the void.

Surrounding him were subtle ripples intertwined with streaks of golden light, adding to his enigma.

"Master."

A deep voice suddenly sounded, "Lie Feng Semi-Divine has sent a message about Li Yuan."

"Speak," the vague figure commanded without opening his eyes.

"Lie Feng Semi-Divine says that Li Yuan has made quick progress on the Wind Vein but... it seems his progress on the Earth Vein is far more terrifying," the deep voice reported.

"Could it be that he's not focusing on the Wind Vein while practicing with Lie Feng?" the vague figure frowned slightly.

"That's not it."

"According to Lie Feng Semi-Divine, Li Yuan's consciousness is extremely strong, and he is very diligent in his practice, always focusing on the Wind Vein," the deep voice explained, "But somehow, he has also condensed the True Meaning of Earth unknowingly."

"He's condensed the True Intent so quickly?" There was a hint of surprise in the vague figure's voice.

"Yes," the deep voice replied, "There's still half a month before he turns 19, already much faster than Fang Hai was back then, he's now the number one of our Seven Star Civilization, and Fang Hai had obtained... "

"Each person has their own destiny."

"Fang Hai obtained an opportunity that even I envied, and perhaps Li Yuan also had his fortune in secret," the vague figure said calmly, "But what peerless genius doesn't have a great opportunity?"

"Sometimes, if the opportunity is too strong and one's own strength can't bear it, it can be harmful instead."

"Tell Lie Feng, just instruct him as usual."

"Yes."

...

About ten days after condensing the True Meaning of Earth, on a certain island, two figures were sparring.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Li Yuan's Long Spear thrust forward or slashed down aggressively in his hands, overwhelming in attack, but within the direct and honest assault hid countless variable moves, all very agile.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" Each collision of their weapons, even though Lie Feng Semi-Divine still held an absolute advantage,

had become increasingly difficult for him to intercept Li Yuan's weapon. He even had to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to withstand Li Yuan's attacks.

After a long while, they ceased their sparring.

"How has your spear technique improved so rapidly?" Lie Feng Semi-Divine's eyes flashed with surprise, "Judging just by the Mystery of Wind, you could already be considered at the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage."

In one month's time, going from just starting to contemplate the Mystery of Wind to stepping into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage?

What kind of cultivation speed was that?

Lie Feng Semi-Divine clearly felt that since condensing the True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan's pace of cultivation in the Mystery of Wind had sped up considerably.

"Firstly, it's thanks to the teacher's excellent guidance,"

Li Yuan said with a smile, "Secondly, after condensing the True Meaning of Earth, during cultivation, I gradually attempted to integrate the Mysteries of Earth and Wind into one, which promoted each other, making my cultivation much faster."

"Mysteries of Earth and Wind promoting each other?" Lie Feng Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan without revealing his inner shock.

Lie Feng Semi-Divine couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage that?"

Combining two Mysteries is extraordinarily difficult; if not done correctly, it's easy to negatively affect each other and slow down both cultivations.

"It just happened naturally," Li Yuan 'honestly' replied.

Lie Feng Semi-Divine was silent for a moment.

"Alright."

"If the path you're on is the right one, then follow your own path," Lie Feng Semi-Divine said softly, "Contemplating the Law of the Great Dao, following your own heart's desire is the most correct."

"I will surely work hard and live up to teacher's expectations," Li Yuan said softly.

Yet, inside, he was inwardly sighing.

Naturally? No! It was because of the Martial God Inheritance and the guidance of the Spear Technique with Divine Consciousness Resonance... that allowed him to be on a relatively correct path from the start to end.

Li Yuan was indeed talented in the Wind Vein.

But the external environment was indispensable.

"Let's go, change location for cultivation," Lie Feng Semi-Divine said, taking to the skies.

Whoosh!

With a thought, Li Yuan manipulated the power of heaven and earth and also soared up.

Experiencing True Intent for so long, this was the first time Li Yuan had fully unleashed his flying ability.

Boom!

"While controlling the Dao for flight, my fastest velocity is roughly thrice the speed of sound," Li Yuan quickly deduced.
