Martial Ascent to Divinity

Chapter 268 Full Text


Zhao Nandi said, "Your divine text skills seem to have improved a lot."

Zhou Leng replied, "These days, I have been exchanging knowledge with Master Wu. He has guided me in many aspects, and my martial arts and divine text levels have both been improving."

"Indeed. Your intense exchanges with Master Wu will greatly enhance your abilities. Cherish this opportunity!"

"It's not just you; our divine text levels are also improving."

"We truly made the right choice coming here this time."

The divine text experts looked at each other. This entry into the Ancient River Sect not only marked the first time humans massively gained complete inheritances, but also the first time humans deeply studied systematic divine texts.

Once these experts leave, they will undoubtedly trigger a massive explosion in the divine text domain.

Everyone present will advance a level in their professional titles.

After studying the divine texts, Zhou Leng went to Elder Song's side, sat cross-legged on the ground, and silently manipulated his Qi.

Daring not to follow the general outline of the "Star Gazing Technique," but due to his profound understanding and his True Qi having been influenced by the Ancient River Jade Stele, his inner power underwent subtle changes.

His True Qi became faster and more stable, clearly perceiving some flaws in the Qi manipulation process.

He even discovered that the Sea Suppressing Technique's operating trajectory seemed incorrect.

The operation method in several places in his meridians originated from the "Mystic Tide Technique."

This basic inner power was reviewed by several Martial Saints.

Compared to the "Star Gazing Technique," the difference was immediately apparent.

Zhou Leng stopped his cultivation, studying the general outline while continuing to wait for Elder Song's results.

One day later, Elder Song called Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie.

"My inner power has been altered by the general outline, with a power increase of about 50%."

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie exchanged glances, their hearts filled with joy.

"This general outline contains the supreme principles of the great Dao."

"Dao, fa, and shu; the three complement each other and are indispensable."

"The martial arts techniques, specific fist techniques like the Overlapping Waves Palm and Mountain Charging Fist, are the shu."

"The fa is the method of using fist techniques, the way to learn fist techniques, and some peculiar combat methods."

"Dao. Metaphysical, invisible, intangible, and challenging to articulate clearly."

"However, humans are superior to all beings not only because they have learned the Dao but have explained it and continuously inherited it."

"All Dao that can't be explained represent misunderstanding; it's a domain humans must clarify."

"Because without clear explanation, there's no precise inheritance; without precise inheritance, there will be chaos and even errors."

"The great Dao must be precise, simple yet perfect in its existence. The simplicity of the great Dao means precisely that."

"This general outline clarifies a part of Dao."

"Next, I will elaborate on my insights into this general outline."

"This inner power is indeed created by masters above the Martial Saint, comprehending the heavens and stars..."

Elder Song slowly explained, and Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie listened attentively, taking notes and recording.

After one full explanation, the two asked about the parts they did not understand.

Then, they listened to the recording and took notes again.

After listening to the recording five times and studying five times, Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie finally mastered it.

Zhou Leng benefited the most from his understanding of divine text and True Qi divine communication.

The twelve divine texts of the "General Outline" continuously rotated in his mind.

Like a sun, nourishing himself, constantly deepening his understanding of the cultivation technique.

Zhou Leng felt incredibly fortunate.

The initial choice to memorizes was out of helplessness, for he simply didn't know how to learn divine text.

Now, he realized it was the correct path.

By remembering, he gained, and understanding deepened continually.

Divine text self-illuminates.

No wonder it is the language of advanced civilizations, inherently possessing peculiar effects.

The three of them engaged in another exchange.

Zhang Xinglie pointed out some areas, but couldn't explain the reasons, just feeling off or uncomfortable.

Zhou Leng also pointed out some areas and could explain the reasons.

Big Brother Song gained insights, thought again, and corrected based on their input.

Thus, the three continuously exchanged and modified until no more changes could be made, finalizing the latest translation.

Zhou Leng took the latest translation to Master Wu, reiterating his understanding of the general outline.

Master Wu listened, nodded gently, and said, "You may teach everyone now."

Zhou Leng returned and gathered everyone.

Zhou Leng transmitted the final translation into the main group of the Ancient River Sect and announced, "With the efforts of the divine text experts, Elder Song, and Zhang Xinglie, under Master Wu's guidance, I announce that the first version of the 'Star Gazing Technique General Outline Translation' is officially completed!"

"Everyone can browse the materials in the group for learning."

"The text of the cultivation technique following the general outline will take some time before it can be translated."

"Next, Elder Song, Zhang Xinglie, and I will each give a lecture on the 'Star Gazing Technique General Outline Translation'. You may choose to listen on-site or opt not to or record."

"Today, everyone will self-study first. Tomorrow, Elder Song will speak."

The crowd was overjoyed, eagerly reading the general outline translation.

Zhou Leng, however, did not look at the general outline translation again.

He closed his eyes, and the twelve-character divine text general outline floated in front of him.

Whether in translation or explanation, there is bound to be "information reduction, increase, or distortion."

Only this twelve-character original text holds the most complete, most accurate information.

The next day, Elder Song explained his understanding of the general outline, and everyone listened.

The third day, Zhang Xinglie shared his understanding of the general outline, and most people listened, but a few Vitality Stage seasoned experts with an index of 11 did not.

On the fourth day, Zhou Leng explained, and half the people did not come to listen.

Part of the reason was Zhou Leng's lack of reputation; another part was that Zhang Xinglie's and Elder Song's content largely overlapped, so they thought Zhou Leng might not provide new insights. Another part was that after studying for three consecutive days, they felt they had learned enough and could listen to recordings afterwards.

The other fourteen members of the small Ancient River group listened attentively.

They might also think that Zhou Leng is not qualified enough, but they trust the judgment of the Blood of Tyranny, Elder Song, and Zhang Xinglie.

The Divine Text Experts stayed, listening as well.

Zhou Leng didn't mind, simply sharing his insights and views quietly.

While speaking, twelve Divine Texts slowly rotated in his mind.

Unconsciously, Zhou Leng's voice carried the pronunciation of the Divine Texts.

Extremely subtle, yet these sounds conveyed the most original intent of the General Outline.

When Zhou Leng finished speaking, most people were unaware, only finding Zhou Leng quite remarkable; though the most inexperienced among the three, he spoke very well.

The crowd dispersed, with fifteen from the Ancient River sitting together.

Elder Song looked at Zhou Leng and said, "I think your speech is different from Zhang Xinglie's. There's an indescribable charm in your process of speaking."

Zhang Xinglie said in surprise, "I feel the same, like there's a gentle, natural background sound in your speech, which not only feels harmonious but also enhances the impact."

"Your metaphor is apt, it's exactly that kind of feeling, like a refreshing spring breeze," Elder Song said.

"Elder Song is too kind," Zhou Leng replied.

Song Juesi looked at those in the distance and said, "They missed the most crucial lecture, and even listening to a recording might not make up for it."

The evaluation of 'like a refreshing spring breeze' coming from Elder Song is quite weighty.

Zhang Xinglie wouldn't even deserve such praise.

The others didn't quite understand but decided to listen more to Zhou Leng's recordings later.

Master Wu glanced at those who distanced themselves from Zhou Leng and then looked at Zhou Leng.

Zhang Xinglie learned the fastest.

Elder Song had the deepest understanding.

This Zhou Leng was the most solid and pure.

"It seems he has gone through the Chaos God's Ode..."

That night, everyone held a simple celebration for the groundbreaking achievement of learning the General Outline.

The next day, Zhou Leng began translating the full text of the "Star Gazing Technique" with the Divine Text Experts.

As before, Zhou Leng didn't translate initially, instead memorizing the text verbatim, imprinting all Divine Text characters into his mind first.

The "Star Gazing Technique" text consists of eighty-one Divine Texts.

It used to take a very long time to remember them.

But this time, thanks to understanding the General Outline, the memory speed far exceeded before.

These eighty-one Divine Texts are essentially extensions and branches of the General Outline's twelve Divine Texts.

Three days later, at the moment when the last Divine Text of the text took shape in his mind.

Zhou Leng's body trembled, his entire True Qi seemingly out of control, beginning to circulate on its own.

Zhou Leng seemed to see his acupuncture points transform into stars.

His meridians flowed like a galaxy.

Within the True Qi, starry lights were floating.

Previously, Mystic Tide True Qi transformed into Sea Suppressing True Qi.

Now, Sea Suppressing True Qi and the Star Gazing Technique were perfectly merging, undergoing new changes.

In Zhou Leng's mind, the "Mystic Tide Technique", Sea Suppressing Map fragments, Cosmic Tsunami, Ancient River Jade Stele, and "Star Gazing Technique" flashed repeatedly.

After an unknown period, the True Qi returned to the Dantian.

In Martial Arts perception, at the position of the Dantian, starry lights twinkled.

The "Star Gazing Technique" was successfully cultivated.

Zhou Leng thought about it and decided to call it Sea Suppressing True Qi for now, and change the name after the True Qi completely transformed.

Master Wu turned his head to look over, nodding lightly.

Zhou Leng nodded in return.

For the first time in so many days, Master Wu took the initiative to do this for the Trial Takers.

Rising, he looked toward everyone; aside from the Divine Text Experts, almost everyone was meditating alone, cultivating the General Outline of the "Star Gazing Technique".

It's quite normal to spend more than a decade successfully cultivating such a profound Star Sky Technique as the "Star Gazing Technique".

Zhou Leng walked over to where the Divine Text Experts were, quietly asking Zhao Nandi.

"Sister Nan Di, how are Elder Song and Zhang Xinglie progressing in their cultivation?"

"Both of their True Qi have changed, but neither has finished cultivating completely yet."

Zhou Leng stepped aside and began translating the full text of the "Star Gazing Technique" in a document.

Thanks to comprehending the General Outline, the translation wasn't very difficult, though there was a lot of it.

Some parts were understandable and comprehensible, but not translated accurately enough.

One reason being insufficient understanding of the Divine Texts, the other being insufficient understanding of Martial Arts.

It was staying at a level that could be understood but not explained.

When Song Juesi and Zhang Xinglie were resting, Zhou Leng went over to pass them the translation.

Both checked the time on their Demonized Watches, then looked at Zhou Leng.

A faint starry glimmer sparkled in Zhou Leng's eyes, exuding a unique aura, completely different from before.

Circulation Body, surrounded by stars.

"You've mastered the General Outline?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

Zhou Leng nodded, thinking it was actually the full text.

"Good!" Zhang Xinglie grinned, then glanced towards some people in the distance.

Those people hadn't come to listen to Zhou Leng's lecture a few days ago.

Zhou Leng no longer cared, but Zhang Xinglie remembered it for his brother.

Song Juesi and Zhang Xinglie read the full text translation.

After just a moment, Song Juesi exclaimed, "Zhou Leng, your Divine Text skill has greatly increased, and your Martial Arts comprehension is a bit scary. The precision of some Martial Arts terminologies represents a particularly accurate understanding, clearly above mine."

Zhang Xinglie said, "I saw some parts that even gave me goosebumps, it's simply incisive, ten times better than mine."

Zhou Leng said, "It's got nothing to do with me; it's this profound cultivation technique. I'm just a porter of the technique."
