Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Martial Pavilion

In the Martial Hall, Instructor Ruo Huan was explaining the matter of the Momentum of Martial Arts to everyone.

The students below the stage all listened with great interest.

Even Liu Ming and the others would nod from time to time, occasionally lost in thought.

”If you can comprehend the Momentum of Martial Arts, it will be of great benefit when breaking through to the Innate Realm,” said Instructor Ruo Huan.

”Then how can we comprehend the Momentum of Martial Arts?” Tie Jun asked.

”With your heart. Only by perceiving with your heart can you grasp the true essence of Martial Arts. Only by comprehending its spirit can you control the Mystical of Martial Arts!” said Instructor Ruo Huan. ”Most of the Martial Arts passed down in the outside world only possess form. Remember, observe the form, but you must also comprehend its spiritual charm. Otherwise, you will only ever learn the superficial aspects.”

’Observe the form, comprehend its spiritual charm?’ Ling Fei’s gaze focused, and he murmured to himself, contemplating the meaning of this sentence.

’Comprehend its spiritual charm?’ The students beside him were all pondering this internally.

”Of course, in the path of cultivation, you must not be too hasty. Everything must proceed step by step. Only when you reach a certain stage can you touch upon the Mystical of that level,” Instructor Ruo Huan continued. ”If you try to reach the heavens in a single step, you will only unbalance your mentality and can easily become trapped by obsession.”

”Instructor, for a cultivator at the Ninth Layer Body Tempering Perfection Realm who wants to break into the Innate Realm, what aspects should they focus on?” Pang Cheng inquired.

As soon as he said this, many people’s faces filled with anticipation.

Many in the Genius Class had reached the Ninth Layer Body Tempering Perfection Realm.

Next, what awaited them was the Innate Realm.

Even though he hadn’t reached the Perfection Realm, Ling Fei’s face was also full of anticipation.

Having a clear direction meant he wouldn’t take too many detours, at least.

This was the benefit of having someone to guide and teach you.

”The Innate Realm?” Hearing this, Instructor Ruo Huan’s gaze sharpened. She then said, ”Of the Nine Realms of the Human Path, Body Tempering is the Basic Realm, but the Innate Realm is the threshold of Martial Arts.”

”The so-called Innate means ’born with heaven and earth.’ Legend has it that some Divine Demons were born at the dawn of the universe; those Divine Demons are called Innate Divine Demons. Those who became gods later are Postnatal Divine Spirits. Our Human Race was nurtured postnatally and has been weak since ancient times, bullied by other living beings... In order to become stronger, sages of the Human Race continuously unearthed our people’s potential, constructing the complete cultivation system that is passed down in the world today.”

”The Innate Realm is meant to allow the Human Race to be reborn, to become children of heaven and earth.”

”Only by comprehending heaven and earth and merging with them can you easily control the Essence Qi between heaven and earth, continuously strengthen your mortal body, and undergo a transformation.”

”In short, the Innate Realm is about comprehending the Mystical of Heaven and Earth. Some people enter the Innate path with a powerful physique. Others comprehend the Mystical of their own Spirit Body to enter the Innate path. Most people, however, comprehend the nature of heaven and earth to enter the Innate path, and this is related to the Essence Qi each person cultivates,” Instructor Ruo Huan said. ”But the essence is still the same. Take Pang Fei, for example. He has an Earth Spirit Body, so he must comprehend the Mystical of Earth to step into the Innate Realm in one go.”

”As for Ling Fei, he has a Cold Essence Spirit Body, so he must comprehend the Cold Dao Mystical to step into the Innate Realm in one go.”

”There are also those who comprehend the way of Martial Arts and use it to step into the Innate Realm.”

”Such as the Sword Dao, the Sword Dao, and so on!”

Instructor Ruo Huan explained in detail.

’Comprehend the path I cultivate!’ Upon hearing this, Ling Fei understood.

He cultivated Cold Chi True Qi, so he should use that as his starting point to step into the Innate Realm.

After Instructor Ruo Huan’s detailed explanation, everyone gained a general understanding of the Innate Realm.

Many had an epiphany, as if they could see the path ahead of them.

The students continuously asked questions.

Instructor Ruo Huan explained everything in detail, and her insights benefited Ling Fei greatly.

’I’m still only at the Mid Stage Body Tempering Ninth Layer. I need to reach the Ninth Layer Body Tempering Perfection Realm as soon as possible.’ Ling Fei was now filled with a desire to advance his Realm. Only when his True Qi was overflowing could he touch upon the Innate. Then, everything would fall into place, and he could charge into the Innate Realm.

But for now, it was still too soon to be hasty.

Soon, two hours passed.

”Alright, that’s all for today.” Instructor Ruo Huan dismissed the class.

The afternoon was for free practice.

Generally, if there were no special circumstances, most of the morning was also for free cultivation.

This time, because Ling Fei had arrived, Instructor Ruo Huan took the opportunity to explain a bit more.

Everyone dispersed.

Next was lunchtime.

”Ling Fei, Shangguan Yurou!” Instructor Ruo Huan called out to the two of them.

”Instructor!” Ling Fei and Shangguan Yurou waited where they were.

Then, Instructor Ruo Huan walked over.

”Shangguan Yurou, this is your access token for the Cultivation Room.” Then, with a turn of her jade-like hand, a Jade Token appeared.

Inscriptions were carved onto the Jade Token.

”Basic Level Class, Genius Area... Room Nine!”

Shangguan Yurou accepted the Jade Token.

At Celestial River Academy, every student could obtain a corresponding Cultivation Room.

However, the Ordinary Area had time limits for cultivation.

After all, the academy had too many students. If they didn’t limit the time, it would be difficult to have enough Cultivation Rooms and resources for everyone to cultivate.

But the Genius Area was different; cultivation time was not limited.

”As for how to get there, Piaoyu can show you the way,” said Instructor Ruo Huan.

”Don’t worry, Instructor. Leave it to me,” said Shangguan Piaoyu.

She had been at the academy for a week and was already familiar with everything.

”Mm.” Instructor Ruo Huan nodded, then looked at Ling Fei and said, ”This is the Waist Token for your Cultivation Room.”

Then, she handed Ling Fei a Waist Token.

”Because you cultivate Cold Dao True Qi, you must cultivate in a Cold Qi Primordial Vein. That Cultivation Room is in a separate area,” said Instructor Ruo Huan. ”I will take you there later.”

”Thank you, Instructor!” Ling Fei accepted the Waist Token and expressed his thanks.

”You are my student. It’s what I should do,” Instructor Ruo Huan said with a placid expression.

Ling Fei nodded slightly, his impression of Instructor Ruo Huan improving immensely.

Although the instructor was cold and stunning, her lectures were methodical and clear, and she was a responsible person.

”Later, will you go to the Martial Arts Pavilion to select your Martial Arts first, or go to the Cultivation Room?” Instructor Ruo Huan inquired.

”The Martial Arts Pavilion?” Ling Fei’s brow curved.

”How about this: today, I will accompany you all to the Martial Arts Pavilion,” said Instructor Ruo Huan. ”Then I’ll take you to the Cultivation Room.”

”Then I’ll have to trouble Instructor Ruo Huan,” Ling Fei said.

Afterward, Instructor Ruo Huan went to the dining hall with Ling Fei, Shangguan Yurou, and the others.

The academy had many dining halls, divided into three areas: Basic Level, Mid Level, and High Level.

In addition, there was also a small dining hall near the Genius Class.

After they finished their meal, the group headed to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

The Martial Arts Tower was a grand and imposing building.

It was supported by ancient wooden pillars, on which were carved exquisite patterns.

The Martial Pavilion covered a vast area, stretching eight hundred meters in length.

Here, one could constantly see students coming and going.

Of course, this Martial Pavilion was also divided into three areas.

Otherwise, with thirty thousand people entering and exiting a single Martial Pavilion, it was hard to imagine how crowded it would be.

After all, Martial Arts were indispensable to every student, so people came and went with great frequency.

There were guards at the entrance of the Martial Arts Pavilion, and one had to show a student’s Waist Token to enter or exit.

”On the first floor are the Mortal Level Martial Arts, and on the second floor are the Celestial Level Martial Arts.” Upon entering the Martial Pavilion, Instructor Ruo Huan asked, ”Which floor do you want to go to?”

”If ordinary students want to view Celestial Martial Arts, they have to complete academy missions to earn points, then exchange those points for the Martial Arts. Without enough points, they cannot redeem Celestial Martial Arts. However, students of the Genius Class have special privileges and can redeem one Celestial Martial Arts technique for free.”

”Oh.” Hearing this, Ling Fei’s brow curved.

Completing missions was also a way to temper the students.

Only by doing so would students be motivated to complete missions in their pursuit of strength.

But completing missions was extremely difficult, so cultivating diligently was clearly the only path to success.

”Mortal Level Martial Arts?” Ling Fei’s brow curved.

Back in Longtan Town, he had already learned quite a few Mortal Level Martial Arts.

These were basic Martial Arts.

However, this type of Martial Arts wasn’t very powerful, so there was no need to learn too many of them.

Thus, he had no interest in Mortal Level Martial Arts now.

The current Ling Fei, having comprehended the True Dragon Momentum from the ”True Dragon Visualization Image,” already possessed power comparable to Celestial Martial Arts!

”I’ll choose a Celestial Martial Arts technique first!” Ling Fei said.

”Alright!” Instructor Ruo Huan nodded, then led Ling Fei up the exquisite wooden staircase to the second floor.

Using their Waist Tokens, Ling Fei and the others entered the second floor of the Martial Pavilion.

Upon entering the Martial Pavilion, the first thing they saw were rows of bookshelves leaning against the cliff walls and giant pillars.

Within the bookshelves were compartments, like those in an apothecary cabinet, where various Martial Arts were stored.

The names of the Martial Arts were carved on the outside of the compartments.

Fist Techniques, palm techniques, Step Techniques, grappling techniques...

Swordsmanship, saber techniques!

Five Elements...

There were all sorts of Martial Arts imaginable.

Moreover, each bookshelf basically stored books of the same type.

’What a huge Martial Arts Pavilion!’ Upon entering, Ling Fei was stunned by the scene before him.

’Celestial River Academy’s collection of books is even larger than my Shangguan Clan’s.’ Shangguan Yurou was also inwardly moved.

One had to know, these were all Celestial Martial Arts!

It was for this reason that these books were placed in compartments for special keeping.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit more curious about Celestial River Academy.

In fact, as a disciple from a great clan, she did not lack Martial Arts at all.

The reason disciples from these great clans came to Celestial River Academy was mostly because the cultivation atmosphere here could motivate them to strive for more.

But after coming to the Martial Pavilion, she couldn’t help but feel more interested in Celestial River Academy.

’Perhaps the Celestial River Sword Technique of Celestial River Academy is really as powerful as the rumors say.’ Shangguan Yurou mused to herself.

The Celestial River Sword Technique was clearly one of her reasons for coming to Celestial River Academy.

It was just that, at first, she hadn’t paid it much mind.

Because her Shangguan Clan’s Celestial Spirit Sword Technique also had a great reputation in the Empire.

Ling Fei’s gaze had long been sweeping across the various Martial Arts cabinets.

”Overlapping Waves Palm, Lingyun Wave, Water Surface Ling Smoke... Celestial River Sword Technique!”

The names of one Martial Arts technique after another appeared in Ling Fei’s line of sight.

There were offensive-type Martial Arts.

There were also defensive types.

Besides those, there were also Body Techniques, which were evasive types.

Only by learning these could one stand undefeated in battles against those of the same Realm.

’Defensive Martial Arts are for guarding. But if you only reach the point of defending, how can you even talk about winning?’

Ling Fei shook his head slightly, giving up on defensive Cultivation Techniques.

Since he wanted to become a powerhouse, he had to learn Martial Arts that could defeat his enemies and secure victory.

’If I’m going to learn something, it has to be a Martial Arts technique that combines both offense and defense!’ Ling Fei had already made up his mind.

Only then could he have greater control of the initiative.
