Chapter 217: Five Qi Origin Technique
Instead, it was about simplifying complexity; combining ten qi into one. The plan was to merge the ten vortices within the body into a single vortex. Then, this single qi vortex would be developed and strengthened through meticulous nurturing.
"One qi vortex is a universe unto itself. The human body\'s treasury is also singular. By merging one into one, one can align with the heavens and earth. Union leads to gathering, gathering leads to condensation, condensation leads to strength, and strength leads to solidity... When the source is solid, one can accumulate greatly and release power with precision."
In the classroom, Invincible Qin patiently explained a secret technique known as the Five Qi Origin Technique: Introductory Chapter. This technique focused on the method of merging ten qi vortices into one, as well as the subsequent cultivation techniques after the unification.
Li Xiaofei found the information to be quite enlightening. Before long, the entire lesson was completed.
"This Five Qi Origin Technique: Introductory Chapter was passed down from the founding Saint of Great Xia, Taiyi. Saint Taiyi was also the first Saint to emerge and is often referred to as the Ancestor of Saints. According to Saint Taiyi, this technique was not something he created. Rather, it was an ultimate and profound art taught to him by his master. The original name was Five Qi Origin Technique, but because it was too advanced and profound for the average person to comprehend, Saint Taiyi interpreted and translated it into an introductory chapter, which he then passed down to the world," Invincible Qin finished.
Li Xiaofei asked curiously, "The teacher of the founding Saint? Isn’t it said that Lord Taiyi received divine techniques from the heavens?"
There were countless legends surrounding Taiyi. As the first Saint to emerge in the world, his path to sainthood was shrouded in mystery.
One widely accepted account among historians was that Taiyi had witnessed the suffering of the people and the bloodshed of soldiers while defending Lanfu in Great Xia\'s northwest against star beasts. When the entire city of Lanfu seemed on the brink of falling, he suddenly activated a mysterious bloodline within himself, received divine techniques from the heavens, and became a Saint in one fell swoop. As such, Great Xia’s Lanfu Base City was still considered the birthplace of sainthood.
Invincible Qin responded, "There’s no such thing as divine techniques granted from the heavens. Not a single Saint in the five hundred years since the star beasts’ invasion was granted their abilities from the heavens. Every Saint relied on their bloodline, fortunate encounters, the inheritance from their teachers, and the cultivation provided by their nation. Saint Taiyi was no exception. The only reason he could become a Saint back then was because his master transferred power to him through a technique, enabling him to break through in one leap."
"Is that true?"
"But that’s not what’s written in the history books!"
"Does this mean our textbooks are lying too?"
"Lord Taiyi was the first Saint in the world, and he received a power transfer? Then his master must be... beyond a Saint? Are you kidding? Is there really someone that powerful in the world?"
The members of the school battle team began to discuss and exclaim in surprise.
Teacher Qin’s words were utterly fascinating to the students; especially the mention of that mysterious Saint’s teacher. Just a few words painted an almost divine image of this figure.
Invincible Qin continued, "It’s rumored that this man’s surname was Lin, and his full name was Lin Beichen. He called himself the Sword Immortal, a figure of divine prowess who possessed invincible abilities. Saint Taiyi once described this mysterious figure to the nation. The government made every effort to contact him, but to no avail. Later, some secret scholars speculated that Lin Beichen might be one of the ancient deities from Great Xia’s mythology whose origins lie in the Kunlun Secret Realm..."
Li Xiaofei was completely captivated.
Can this be true? Lin Beichen, the Sword Immortal?
If it hadn’t come from Invincible Qin’s mouth, Li Xiaofei would have thought it was a joke. The world he had traveled to was clearly a high-tech martial arts era. How could it involve mythology and legends?
But when Li Xiaofei thought back, he remembered how, five hundred years ago, he had spent an enormous amount of time, effort, and money learning traditional martial arts, apprenticing under 109 different masters, only to end up learning... nothing of real value.
He began to wonder if the Earth he was on now was the same as the Earth from 500 years ago, or if it was a completely different dimension altogether.
"Teacher, did that Sword Immortal ever appear again?" Ren Dong asked curiously.
Invincible Qin shook his head, "No, he never reappeared. According to Saint Taiyi, there was also an extraordinarily beautiful woman with that Sword Immortal, whose strength was equally terrifying... Based on Saint Taiyi’s memoirs, it’s speculated that there were indeed more than one of these god-like beings who were beyond the level of Saints."
Li Xiaofei and the others were once again left speechless, their mouths agape in shock.
Is Teacher Qin having a mental breakdown?
It was well known that there had never been anyone on Earth who surpassed the level of a Saint in the past five hundred years. Many Saints had emerged, but no one had ever heard of a Saint breaking through to an even higher realm.
What can possibly exist beyond the level of a Saint?
This question had been the subject of endless research by top scholars, scientific institutions, and every nation around the world. But until now, no one had made a breakthrough.
And now, Old Qin was suddenly saying that back when Saints first emerged, there were already beings beyond that level in the world? And multiple ones at that?
Invincible Qin\'s gaze swept over the children in front of him. These were the students he and Chen Fei had painstakingly selected and nurtured. Every student at Red Flag High School was a seed of hope. They sowed these seeds to ensure that the martial lineage of Great Xia would not be lost. It was time to share certain truths.
As he looked at Li Xiaofei and the others, Qin\'s tone gradually grew more serious.
"Children, what I’m telling you today, you must remember well and keep it firmly in your hearts. You need to understand that the path of Great Xia’s ancient martial lineage reaches far beyond what you can imagine."
"According to the secret memoirs of Saint Taiyi, the so-called Saint realm is nothing more than a small hill on the long road of Great Xia\'s ancient martial lineage. Why has Red Flag High School always insisted on preserving ancient martial arts and opposed the New Martial Arts surgery? It’s because the New Martial Arts surgery is a path of self-destruction, a shortcut that leads to ruin, a temporary relief that poisons the future."
"It destroys the body and damages one’s innate essence. While it grants temporary power, it prevents one from reaching higher and further peaks. Using the human body to absorb and fuse the bones of beasts is a regression in history. If everyone accepts the New Martial Arts surgery, then Great Xia’s ancient martial lineage will have no successors. It will be completely severed. So, any other country on Earth can promote New Martial Arts and accept the surgeries. But Great Xia cannot."
"Every warrior of Great Xia should aspire to inherit the lost knowledge of the ancient saints and pursue the great path of the immortals!"
Teacher Qin’s words reverberated powerfully throughout the classroom.
Li Xiaofei felt his blood boiling as he listened. He was, after all, a martial arts fanatic at heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so relentlessly dedicated to pursuing true Chinese kung fu five hundred years ago.
Teacher Qin\'s words were like bolts of lightning, clearing away the fog that had lingered in the depths of his mind. The path of martial arts was endless. A Saint was not the final destination.
I need to grow stronger! Continuously stronger!
A powerful resolve ignited within him. The slight arrogance that had crept in due to his recent surge in strength and undefeated record vanished in an instant. At the same time, a new sense of purpose naturally arose within him.
To inherit the lost knowledge of the ancient sages! To pursue the great path of the immortals!
Li Xiaofei was especially eager to know if he could become a Saint, or even break through the Saint Realm and finally meet that legendary, elusive figure, Lin Beichen, the Sword Immortal.
