Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

’Is the foundation of Martial Arts in man himself, in his spirit, in the Power of Heaven and Earth?’ Ling Fei’s eyes flashed.

Only by achieving this could one climb to the peak.

Just then, the man unexpectedly moved.

With both hands, he drew the Power of Heaven and Earth into his body. His Divine Soul and Power merged, and he gained complete control. Then, his large hand struck the empty air.

BANG!

His hand struck the air, and the very Void shattered.

"When spirit and power unite, one can shatter the heavens!" a deep voice declared.

The scene shifted again.

The man attacked again. With a wave of his hand, he pierced the Void, seemingly appearing above the starry sky to pluck the very stars from it.

"Wherever the will reaches, one can grasp the sun, moon, and stars!" the deep voice rang out.

"This..." Watching these scenes unfold, Ling Fei’s heart was thrown into turmoil.

At this moment, he seemed to be on the verge of an epiphany.

’The foundation of Martial Arts lies in the Divine Soul’s control over Power!’ Ling Fei realized.

As for Power, that meant the various types of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Such as the Five Elements Power.

Such as Wind and Fire, Thunder, and Bloodline Power!

As the scenes unfolded one by one, the path of Martial Arts became increasingly clear within Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit.

Martial Arts was based on the individual. The so-called Divine Techniques and Mysticals were merely supplementary aids.

’The body is the foundation, a Furnace to smelt the Power of Heaven and Earth. Wherever the will reaches, the heavens can be shattered. The self is the true foundation!’ Ling Fei finally understood.

With a flash, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit sank into his body. The Blood Qi within him began to circulate. His body was like a great Furnace, containing immense True Dragon Power. Then, Ling Fei’s Divine Soul Power merged into his body, suffusing his Blood Qi, and he began to take control of his internal Bloodline Power.

As his Cultivation Technique activated, a thought from Ling Fei’s Divine Thought caused his skin to become covered in Dragon Scales. He fiercely struck the air with his hand, and a loud BANG suddenly echoed.

BANG!

The Void shattered, unleashing a terrifying Power.

This move was precisely the Void-Shattering technique of the Heaven-Reaching Hand!

But this time, Ling Fei’s execution of it was effortless, incomparably perfect.

Before, although he had mastered the Heaven-Reaching Hand Divine Technique, he had not yet fully comprehended its underlying Mystical.

The inheritance from the Martial Arts Platform and its explanation of Martial Arts had given Ling Fei a new perspective. This subtle shift in his understanding brought his Divine Technique to Perfection.

He had now truly mastered this Divine Technique, reaching the Perfection stage of the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm.

It wasn’t just the Heaven-Reaching Hand. After that move, Ling Fei continued to practice.

He drew his sword.

The same sword strike was now even more ethereal than before, its power far surpassing his previous attempts.

Now, a single sword strike from Ling Fei possessed a certain charm not the least bit inferior to Lian Shuang’s.

In that moment, Ling Fei’s Martial Arts Mastery had clearly taken a monumental leap forward.

Thanks to the True Understanding of Martial Arts on the stone wall, Ling Fei had gained enlightenment.

The current Ling Fei had clearly reached the Perfection stage of the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm and could attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm at any time.

’I still need to comprehend more and build up my foundation.’ After testing his new skills, Ling Fei returned to studying the Martial Arts insights on the stone wall before him.

What Ling Fei had just obtained was the True Understanding of Martial Arts, a rather general inheritance that would be difficult for someone without sufficient talent to comprehend.

Next, he began to study the finer details of Martial Arts.

For example, how to merge one’s Heart Spirit with Divine Techniques and how to control them.

Besides that, there were also detailed explanations of the mysteries behind the various types of Power in heaven and earth, teaching Cultivators how to control them.

Three days passed. Ling Fei’s control over Martial Arts grew ever stronger, and his Martial Arts Mystical became more perfect. The Mystical Technique Patterns on his Celestial Pill gained a special aura. Now, his Mystical Technique Patterns were clearly at Perfection. With just one more step, he could attempt his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

On this day, Ling Fei opened his eyes.

’Now that my Martial Arts Mystical has reached Perfection, it’s time to leave.’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit withdrew from the inheritance wall.

When Ling Fei stood up, a Light Pattern flashed on the Martial Arts Platform, teleporting him outside.

Ling Fei landed on a mountaintop.

As he gazed into the distant Void, Ling Fei no longer felt insignificant. Instead, he felt that human potential was boundless, filled with infinite possibilities.

’Although I’m only at the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm, my soul has transformed into a Divine Soul. With my Divine Soul merged with my Martial Arts Mystical, my combat strength is now beyond compare.’ Ling Fei gazed into the distant Void, his eyes glinting with confidence. He was now one step closer to the Divine Mansion Realm.

If he were given a little more time, perhaps he would no longer need to fear Beiming Huahai.

At that time, Ling Fei would be free to soar through the Southern Wilderness as he pleased.

’I wonder how Wan’Er is doing now.’ At that thought, Ling Fei took out his Waist Token and contacted Shangguan Wan’Er.

An hour later, Ling Fei received Shangguan Wan’Er’s reply.

Shangguan Wan’Er was still in the Martial Arts Inheritance Region. While waiting for Ling Fei, she was also searching for an inheritance to further her own knowledge of Martial Arts.

...

Half a day later, Shangguan Wan’Er emerged from her seclusion and met Ling Fei on the mountaintop.

Shangguan Wan’Er was dressed in white robes that fluttered as she strolled over, making her look otherworldly and captivating. She reached the mountaintop and drifted down gracefully.

"Your Cultivation...?" After landing beside Ling Fei, Shangguan Wan’Er’s long eyelashes fluttered, her clear eyes filled with astonishment.

Ling Fei’s current aura felt unfathomable to her. Furthermore, the pressure he exuded made even her soul tremble slightly.

It was the same feeling a Low Level Cultivator would have when facing a High Level Cultivator.

Yet she herself had made rapid progress recently, also reaching the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm.

This left her utterly astounded.

"I had a small breakthrough," Ling Fei said with a grin. Seeing the astonished look on the peerless beauty’s face, he chuckled to himself and reached out to wrap an arm around her slender waist. "When I become strong, no one in this Southern Wilderness will dare to bully you. I’ll continue to train hard. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone hurt you."

Ling Fei’s tone was firm as he gazed affectionately at Shangguan Wan’Er, enunciating every word.

This was his goal.

To cultivate in order to protect his family and the one he loved.

This was his Martial Arts Heart.

Becoming stronger was a part of it.

"Mmm." With Ling Fei’s arm around her waist, Shangguan Wan’Er was filled with a sweet warmth. His words moved her beyond measure.

’How wonderful would it be if we could stay like this forever?’ Shangguan Wan’Er took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing slightly as she savored the moment.

The two of them stood on the mountaintop, watching the scenery in comfortable silence.

At dusk, figures flickered into view—it was Monk Yuan Kong and Yuan Tan, flying over.

"Ling the Pill Master!" The two men clasped their hands in salute to Ling Fei.

"Senior Brother Yuan!" Ling Fei returned the salute.

"Junior Brother Ling, your Cultivation seems to have surpassed the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm!" The moment they landed, both of them sensed the extraordinary nature of Ling Fei’s aura.

"Hehe, it’s just a small improvement," Ling Fei chuckled. "Judging by your aura, Senior Brother Yuan, I’m sure your own breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm is just around the corner."

He looked toward Yuan Kong.

Yuan Kong now seemed even more transcendent. Though the light in his eyes was clear, he gave off an unfathomable aura.

Evidently, his trip to the North Spirit Ruins had also been quite fruitful.

Even Yuan Tan beside him had improved a great deal.

These people were all geniuses, so it was only natural for them to improve after coming here to comprehend the Mysticals of Ancient Martial Arts.

Just then, He Tianming and Zhao Fan arrived.

"Junior Brother Ling!" He Tianming said as he landed.

"Hehe, Senior Brother He, your gaze is as sharp as a blade. It looks like you’ve had a fruitful visit as well!" Ling Fei laughed.

"I’ve made some small gains," He Tianming replied. "Where is everyone planning to go next?"

They had already been in the Martial Arts Region for a long time.

It would be difficult to find any more inheritances here that could help them improve further.

"I heard that Xu Zitao and his group went deeper into the ruins. Why don’t we go take a look there as well?" Zhao Fan suggested.

The depths of the ancient ruins were a mysterious place.

Legend had it that an area there was blocked by a Restriction, one that geniuses throughout history had been unable to bypass.
