Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1266: Sub-Saint Realm – Barrier (Monthly Ticket)

Could it be that the Yin-Yang Dao sect is so severely divided?

Then why did they bring me to meet their leader? Lin Zifeng was a bit puzzled.

“Mr. Lin, perhaps you are tired, let’s go rest first.”

Jipu Qingtian was extremely polite and cultured, almost from the moment he met Lin Zifeng, he had maintained courteous treatment, with no trace of a leader’s authority. This kind of hospitality, Lin Zifeng thought he himself could not achieve so well.

It is said that the Divination Masters of the Yin-Yang Dao each possess extremely keen sensory abilities, and the most remarkable is their divination skill!

“Thank you, leader.” Lin Zifeng nodded, and led all his brothers to follow Jipu Qingtian into the small town.

However, just upon entering, Lin Zifeng found nothing particularly odd about the town, but after stepping in, his perception was completely overturned.

Before him was a dense forest, with the distant snowy shadow of Mount Fuji.

But upon entering, what appeared before everyone’s eyes was a paradise!

Everything they saw had dramatically changed, the dense forest of the town had transformed into a garden full of cherry blossoms.

All around were large cherry trees in vibrant bloom, their fragrance penetrating deeply, soothing the heart and lungs, while in the distance, a gentle waterfall flowed down a small hill.

What was most astonishing is that everything inside was completely isolated from outside!

“Mr. Lin, are you surprised by how different it is here from the outside?”

Jipu Qingtian smiled.

Lin Zifeng nodded, without speaking, the place indeed left him astounded.

“I wonder if Mr. Lin has heard of the ‘Sub-Saint’ realm in the Martial Arts Country?”

Jipu Qingtian suddenly asked with a smile.

“Sub-Saint realm?” Lin Zifeng raised his sword-like eyebrows, his handsome face revealing a deep curiosity, Sub-Saint is second only to the Saint!

In ancient Martial Arts, scholars liked to call Confucius and Mencius Saints and Sages.

Deemed as the holy sages among literati!

Later, occasionally some extraordinarily talented individuals appeared, their quality and intellect were comparable to sages, so these people were praised as people second only to Saints, Sub-Saints!

To put it simply, it means halfway to a Sage, half a Saint.

“Mr. Jipu, forgive my ignorance, I’m truly unfamiliar with this Sub-Saint realm.” Lin Zifeng hoped to glean some insight from him.

“Haha, it’s alright, actually, in Martial Arts, Eastern Cultivators generally divide cultivation into six realms: Fist Generating Vital Energy, Vital Energy Expelling, Vital Energy Body Separation, Vital Energy Condensation, Qi Dao Realm, King’s Secret Realm.”

“Oh?! Mr. Jipu seems well-acquainted with our Martial Arts Eastern Cultivators’ cultivation system.” Lin Zifeng joked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Fusang people can know so much.

“Haha, really, it’s making Mr. Lin laugh, the Martial Arts world’s greatness and profoundness with a five-thousand-year legacy, even our Jipu Family’s Yin-Yang Dao is quite connected with Martial Arts. Back then Yin-Yang Dao’s master Jipu Qingming reportedly reached the Sub-Saint realm and was the kind who could set up barriers!”

“Barrier!” Lin Zifeng was startled, Yin-Yang Dao people also set up barriers?

“It is said that surpassing the King realm leads to the legendary Sub-Saint realm, where all Vital Energy within is transformed into Primordial Energy, and a seed of Elemental Power forms inside, thus with this Elemental Power Seed, they can set up unbelievable barriers!”

Jipu Qingtian explained thoroughly.

“Does that mean this place is a barrier?!”

Lin Zifeng was awed, this is quite the discovery on his journey to Fusang.

So, this barrier is the one left by the Jipu Family’s Yin-Yang Dao master Jipu Qingming?

“Yes. Actually, when you first entered the barrier, you couldn’t see the sights within from outside.”

“Could this barrier be an entire spatial domain?!”

Lin Zifeng’s eyes widened in astonishment, impossible!

How could anyone in this world possess such a powerful barrier?

Back when the Martial Arts Alliance was destroyed, Lin Zifeng had seen mentions of barriers.

In Martial Arts, the most widely spread barrier belongs to the Goddess’s Barrier.

It’s said the Goddess’s Barrier is a spatial domain with many god-like beings living within, according to legend.

But that is only a myth, not credible.

Yet, this spatial barrier before Lin Zifeng was still somewhat perplexing.

“No, no, Mr. Lin you’ve misunderstood. This isn’t a spatial domain barrier, this barrier is more akin to an illusion, people outside see it at most as Mount Fuji, only by entering can one glimpse its true wonder, simply put, it’s just a Blinding Technique.”

Jipu Qingtian explained with a smile.

In Martial Arts, the term barrier refers to some particularly formidable people, who can arrange defensive systems or special spaces to fend off outside attacks using formations, employing techniques from Five Elements, Tai Chi, and Eight Trigrams. Some Maoshan Masters also utilize talismans and magic artifacts to assist in achieving defensive capabilities.

Simply put, a barrier is a form of defense.

To defend against attacks, that’s all.

A long time ago, the Jipu Family’s Yin-Yang Dao originated in the Ancient Martial World’s Yin-Yang Five Elements principles, which then became their own, forming the current lineage of the Yin-Yang Dao.

This barrier before them is left by the most renowned Yin-Yang Dao Master Jipu Qingming of the time.

“Only cultivators who reach Sub-Saint can set up a barrier?” Lin Zifeng frowned, recalling the data he had previously read.

The Sub-Saint realm, it’s said to be surpassing the King realm, a realm that transcends in quality, post-King realm. Reaching Sub-Saint realm is undoubtedly as difficult as climbing to the sky!

“Hehe, I see, just didn’t expect Mr. Jipu would know so much. Today has truly opened my eyes.” Lin Zifeng nodded, having understood his point.

The barrier is merely a Blinding Technique to confuse enemies.

Compared to the defensive barriers like those of Dark Angels, it’s simply weak.

However, this experience today has broadened Lin Zifeng’s horizons once more, pondering whether when he reaches Sub-Saint realm, he might also set up a similar Great Barrier.

But upon further consideration, it’s not reliable, he hasn’t even reached King realm yet and is thinking about Sub-Saint, which is legendary.

“How incredible! So this is what’s called a barrier!”

Huo Zhengfeng and Shuobude, both with vast experience, showed some interest immediately upon seeing this Blinding Technique-like barrier.

“Do you understand these?” Lin Zifeng turned his head to ask.

“Not really, those who can set up barriers are beings of Great Power, we small figures, even living for a thousand years, could never reach such levels.” Huo Zhengfeng shook his head, “It’s too difficult!”
