Chapter 882 - 869: The Weapon to Defeat the Strong with the Weak
Half a month!
After Ye Zhen returned to Red Fire Martial City, he made some arrangements and then went into seclusion for half a month.
During this half-month period, Ye Zhen spent time assimilating the martial inheritance left by the Earth Core Fire Commander. Although there was almost no improvement in Ye Zhen’s own strength during these two weeks, his understanding of martial arts changed dramatically.
In the martial arts inheritance of the Earth Core Fire Commander, only half is related to the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture. The other half consists entirely of the Commander’s nearly millennia-long insights, summaries, perspectives, and various experiences and knowledge regarding martial arts.
At first glance, these things seem useless.
However, in reality, they suddenly elevated Ye Zhen’s understanding of martial arts to a level unattainable by ordinary martial artists.
It’s like building a house; many people only see the beautiful house, but few notice the foundation underground. Martial arts are like building a house; without a solid foundation, a house cannot be built at all.
A martial artist’s foundation on the martial path requires accumulation bit by bit over a martial career, and the martial insights, cultivation experiences, etc., that seemed unrelated to strength in the Earth Core Fire Commander’s martial inheritance are the most basic and important things for building this foundation.
These things require a martial artist’s time to slowly settle, and there is no other way around it.
Of course, different martial artists have different speeds of settling these foundational martial insights.
The Earth Core Fire Commander was one of the most talented martial artists of his time, so it’s clear how astonishing the value of the nearly millennia-long martial inheritance he settled is.
From a certain standpoint, this nearly saved Ye Zhen almost a millennium of time, placing Ye Zhen directly on the shoulders of a giant in martial arts.
