Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

But for a slightly stronger Martial Artist, the speed of the carriage was not fast.

Therefore, the current transportation situation in Datong was actually quite awkward.

"The Leader actually also hopes that we can hurry up with the research on something suitable, but it has been shelved for now because of energy research."

"Sharpening your axe will not delay the chopping of wood, and it was correct for you to research in this direction. The reason why you have not understood it yet is one, because time is short; research cannot yield results in a short time, especially not for someone like you. Another reason actually has to do with your power."

"Power?" Li Xueqian was somewhat confused. Was his previous speculation that his abilities were limited by his power really true?

Wang Sheng nodded to confirm, "Yes, power, or rather your understanding of the world is not enough. Science is the description of objective laws; in our world, cultivation to enhance power is an objective law.

No matter which type of cultivation, it requires understanding of the world, using energy to enhance oneself, hence cultivation itself is also a form of alternative research. The higher the mastery, the higher the standard of research, the clearer the understanding of laws.

You lack sufficient power, thus your understanding of energy is not as good as some top-tier experts. You can analyze and write it down, while they merely make instinctive use of it. If your power could reach my level, you would find that there are not many secrets to the Energy Stone in front of you, just like how I can now increase the utilization efficiency of Energy Stones by over fifty percent."

"Immediately increase by fifty percent?" Li Xueqian was somewhat shocked, "Is this really true, Principal? If it's possible..."

"Hold on," Wang Sheng interrupted him, "I indeed can increase it, but my method is not universally applicable. Is this what you want?"

"It's not..."

What he wanted was an Energy Car that everyone could use.

"That's settled then. You have already grasped the key to unlocking the treasury; what you need to do now is to open the treasury. You may face difficulties, but it's definitely better than having me impart it directly to you."

Imposing knowledge, it was never a good method, and it could even lead to misguidance.

"I understand, Principal. I will definitely do it," Li Xueqian would not give up his goal.

Receiving guidance today had already brought him significant insights.

"Work hard. Whether Datong can be transformed might start with you. Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, I will leave now."

He had come to find Li Xueqian to resolve the delineation issue. With his guidance complete, he naturally would not stay longer.

Li Xueqian hadn't expected the Principal to have such high expectations of him, and he hadn't understood why until now.

But hearing Wang Sheng's latter words, he cast these thoughts aside.

Such opportunities were rare.

"Principal, you mentioned that the stronger one's power, the deeper the understanding. But not every researcher is suited for cultivation. I'm just an exception, and both cultivation and research require a lot of time; they seem to conflict..."

"So, what is it you want to ask?" Wang Sheng smiled, with no other reaction.

"I was wondering if there's a method of cultivation that could accommodate both, enhancing power while researching?" Li Xueqian was somewhat nervous. Honestly, he himself thought it was a bit far-fetched.

"Do you think the paths of Qi-Blood Martial Arts, Body Cultivation, and Spirit Path existed from the start?"

"That's possible then. If others can do it, why can't you?"

With one sentence, Wang Sheng sharply awakened Li Xueqian.

He could research new things. Why couldn't he create a new path himself?

Perhaps there truly was a path suitable for someone like him who was focused on research.

Li Xueqian took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Principal. I have no more questions!"

Wang Sheng nodded and then vanished instantly from the research institute.

Everyone in the institute relaxed.

The Leader's Master, Datong's strongest, the Principal... any one of these titles was enough to make them nervous.

"Teacher, was that the legendary Principal just now?"

"Naturally. It is our good fortune at the research institute that the Principal could come here. You all heard what the Principal guided us with just now, right? Go back, write an article based on his words, and show it to me."

"..."

Though the world changes, the fate of research dogs doesn't.

But although their faces showed resistance, deep down they all knew this was an opportunity.

"Yes, Teacher."

Li Xueqian nodded and continued, "Let's continue with the research. With the Principal's guidance, our research should be able to advance further. Also, I will be focusing on breaking through for a while; don't slack off either."

Whether it's research or a new path in cultivation, what's primarily needed is a higher, broader understanding.

First become a Great Grandmaster in the path of Spiritual Cultivation.

His students were overjoyed when they heard that their teacher was about to make a breakthrough.

In this world, strength ultimately reigned supreme.

The effects of technology, or rather, Mechanical Techniques, had yet to truly manifest.

Merely lifespan was enough for countless people to pursue.

People like Li Xueqian, with extremely strong cultivation talent, but addicted to research, remained a minority; although Datong College had been established for many years, most who entered the Mechanical Department did so because they didn't meet the criteria for the Martial Arts Institute.

"The burden is heavy and the road is long!"

Huangtian looked at the data and sighed.

Datong was vast; therefore, the difficulty of governance was high, and even after twenty years, there were still many issues to handle and many rules that were not perfected.

Recently, Li Xueqian from Datong College had sent another letter, emphasizing the importance of the Mechanical Department and requesting more resources.

But it wasn't just the Mechanical Department that wanted more resources.

The whole country needed them.

"Now, the biggest call is for public preaching..."

As time passed, more and more people were surpassing the level of Great Grandmaster.

Not to mention the initial ones, Martial Saint, Tian Wu, and Zhen Wu, now a bunch more Shen Wu and Immortal Martial had emerged.

Their strength was unclear, but their reputations were indeed significant.

At the same time, each path was desperately preaching, and there had already been several incidents caused by preaching in cities that had a negative impact.

"Gathering in large numbers is inherently difficult to manage, let alone a large gathering of Martial Artists..."

Huangtian also had a headache.

It was definitely impossible to ban preaching.

It was crucial for the development of Datong and for the potential enemies they might face in the future.

"Isn't there a way for people to hear about preaching from the comfort of their homes?"

Huangtian suddenly thought of a place.

"Actually, this problem currently only occurs in the Zhongzhou region; other regions are not so severe. The Zhongzhou region has a Spirit World, and it is precisely because of the Spirit World that such troubles arise."

Due to the presence of the Spirit World, each path had established its headquarters in Zhongzhou.

That's why there were various impacts.

"The Spirit World can be accessed from home; if there's going to be preaching, there's nothing more convenient than the Spirit World, and it won't affect the real world, but this needs to be discussed with the master..."

He knew well that the Spirit World was related to his master.

Currently, the only one who enjoyed the privilege of publicly preaching in the Spirit World was Martial Saint Zhu Xiao, but Martial Saint Zhu Xiao was an acquaintance of the master.

If others acted rashly, they might be severely criticized.

Perhaps that's what those people were thinking.

But he could seek the master's approval. If the master agreed, a difficult problem might be solved.

Thus—

"Master, now there are many who have surpassed Great Grandmaster, and their preaching in the real world sometimes has rather negative effects. Would it be possible to allow them to preach within the Spirit World?"

"Preaching in the Spirit World? Naturally, it's possible," Wang Sheng had no objections.

"Thank you, master," Huangtian was thrilled, a difficult problem was easily resolved.

Actually, their main task was to maintain order and ensure the interests of ordinary people; otherwise, this wouldn't be a problem at all.

But Huangtian had no regrets.

The Taiping Sect was established for this purpose.

Soon, Huangtian departed, but Wang Sheng's thoughts continued.

"Huangtian actually gave me a reminder. Preaching can be conducted in the Spirit World, but that would also occupy a lot of space. Although it doesn't have any substantial impact, perhaps it's time to consider a more convenient model?"

"Like... something similar to an internet live-streaming platform... or perhaps a Spiritual Network Platform?"
