Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 104: Sorry, everyone! Zhang Junbao lied.

"Every sage who created a martial art did so to express his philosophy, and the old-fashioned Tai Chi Chuan is no exception."

"All kinds of boxing techniques are only meant to illustrate the two words 'Yin and Yang'."

"When you have a sufficient understanding of your own martial arts, you can integrate your own philosophy and will into it."

"At that time, martial arts will embody your will and your beliefs, enough to influence reality."

"Take the legendary hero Yang Guo, for example. He incorporated his will into his martial arts and created the Ecstasy Palm, using his longing as his power."

"Guo Jing, the great hero, dedicated his life to the country and the people, and was upright and honorable. His will was reflected in his martial arts, which were naturally fierce and unparalleled, and his majestic power was unstoppable."

"For example, a few days ago there was a swordsman who came to Wudang. His will was already integrated into his swordsmanship. Every time he struck, he hit the mark."

"However, will is yin and reality is yang; will is illusion and reality is reality. How to connect this yin and yang, illusion and reality, depends on God."

Then he began to explain how to use his own "god" to implement his will and reality!

Guo Jing was very surprised. This Master Guo seemed very powerful, and he even shared the same name as him. What an honor!

I wonder what earth-shattering feats he had accomplished to earn such praise from Master Zhang.

Zhou Botong murmured, "Back then, my senior brother told me that although I was intelligent and enjoyed martial arts, I would never become a top master because I lacked the heart to help the world and save people. At the time, I was not convinced, but I never thought that this was the reason."

"I am only fond of martial arts, but I have not carried out my own will in the martial arts. I followed my senior brother to fight against the Jin, only because my senior brother wanted to fight against the Jin."

"This old Taoist priest's healing is truly amazing! My senior brother is also incredibly skilled. Are all Taoist priests this amazing?"

"I should have followed my senior brother in cultivating the Tao."

"But what good is being incredibly skilled?"

"This world is going to end..."

Thinking of this, he burst into tears again, not because he was afraid of death.

He just thought that if the whole world were to disappear, so many men and women, young and old, some of whom had never even practiced martial arts would be gone. It would be so pitiful!

In a corner of the mountain, a somewhat pale-faced wandering swordsman coughed twice: "To actually receive praise from Master Zhang, my life has been worthwhile!"

Jellyfish Yin Ji nodded: "How many people in this world can explain such profound principles as simply and easily as Master Zhang?"

"My Heavenly Water Divine Skill draws inspiration from the concept of Weak Water, thus it can be both strong and gentle, surging like the ocean or meandering like a stream..."

"But ultimately, something was missing that prevented him from competing with Tie Zhongtang. It turns out that the difference lay here."

The more skilled a person is, the deeper their understanding will be.

Even ordinary martial arts practitioners felt they had gained a lot. At least they knew which path to take in the future, and they wouldn't be completely lost after learning a couple of sword techniques, not knowing what to do.

Master Zhang has done immeasurable good deeds!

After Zhang Sanfeng finished demonstrating a set of Tai Chi, it took him a full hour to do so, because he really broke it down and explained it to everyone.

It is said to be about Tai Chi, but it is actually about teaching people how to harmonize their spirit and intention, and how to integrate their spirit and intention into the way of martial arts.

Zhang Sanfeng withdrew his fist and sighed, "It turns out that martial arts have reached their limit at this point."

"No matter how far you go, there can be no qualitative change. At most, your skill will be deeper and your martial arts skills will be more refined, because that has already reached the limits of the human body."

"If you want to go further, you have to break this limit, resonate with the universe, and reverse your innate nature from the acquired."

"As for methods to break through limits, this old Taoist is of limited knowledge and can only think of three."

Li Ping, Huang Rong, and Su Ying stared wide-eyed. Three kinds?

Three kinds and you still think it's not enough?

Zhang Sanfeng continued, "Essence, Qi, and Spirit are the three treasures of a person. If any one of these three treasures breaks through its limits, it can help the human body absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth for its own use."

"Let's start with 'God,' which comes from the Taoist art of refining Qi, opening the innate apertures, and allowing people to reverse their acquired nature to their innate nature..."

"This mainly involves the cultivation of the upper dantian, which is extremely dangerous. Everyone should be extra careful when cultivating."

As Zhang Sanfeng explained how to reverse one's innate nature, Huang Rong lowered her head, her face flushing.

I really did act too recklessly back then...

Li Ping succeeded because he was lucky.

At this moment, Zhou Botong suddenly shouted, "Old Taoist Zhang, what you're saying is incorrect!"

Everyone who had been listening intently immediately glared at the person who was causing trouble.

Zhou Botong didn't care about any of that. He said, "My senior brother practiced the Innate Skill back then and had already reversed the innate state, but he was not able to absorb any kind of heaven and earth energy as you said."

"If they could truly live on air and dew, wouldn't they be like immortals?!"

Zhang Sanfeng sighed upon seeing him, then said, "So it is Senior Zhou Botong. Your senior brother is Patriarch Chongyang, and I would naturally not dare to show him the slightest disrespect."

"After much thought, I believe the world has changed."

"The primordial energy of heaven and earth is not static; I suspect that the more ancient the times, the more vibrant the primordial energy of heaven and earth."

"The closer it is to us, the more stagnant the primordial energy of heaven and earth becomes, and the more difficult it is to communicate with it."

"Therefore, many unique skills were lost from the Tang to the Song dynasties, not because our ancestors were incompetent, but because the world had changed."

"This change is very subtle. If it weren't for the guidance of a celestial being, I wouldn't be able to understand the reason behind it."

Zhang Sanfeng sighed inwardly.

In his view, the immortals cast everyone into this era because it is far enough away from the source of the long river of history, and it is the last era in which one might be able to cultivate supernatural powers. Any later, the primordial energy of heaven and earth will be completely quiescent, and there will be no possibility at all!

This is buying us time.

But I really don't know how much time the immortals can buy us.

Time is of the essence!

Li Ping put his arm around Huang Rong's waist and laughed, "Rong'er, look how amazing you are."

"The world has changed. You've mastered the innate abilities that even the ancients couldn't grasp. What are you still frustrated about?!"

Anyway, I'm already born with it, so I can just listen to whatever I want.

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Li Ping secretly kissed Huang Rong, making Huang Rong blush bright red. She pinched Li Ping hard on the waist, feeling embarrassed to be seen in public!

Afterwards, Zhang Sanfeng talked about how to cultivate in the Innate Realm, which was pretty much what Li Ping had guessed before.

Li Ping guessed that Old Zhang had also comprehended it from the Daoist Canon, and that the Huang-style martial arts' innate cultivation also came from there, with all variations stemming from the same source.

Old Zhang explained things in great detail, which pointed Li Ping in the right direction.

After Zhang Sanfeng finished speaking, he continued, "The final stage of cultivation is to unite with the Dao. Reaching this point is incredibly difficult!"

"But fortunately, with the guidance of an immortal, one may awaken supernatural powers through the cultivation of spirit and will."

"Supernatural powers are the seeds of the Great Dao, and the immortals have already shown us the way."

"Even without the guidance of an immortal, as long as you work hard and diligently comprehend the cultivation of spirit and will, you may awaken supernatural powers. If you can cultivate to the realm of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao, then whether you have supernatural powers or not makes no difference!"

"They all lead to the same goal, albeit through different paths!"

At this point, Old Zhang finished his sermon, answered everyone's questions, proved why supernatural powers cannot be taken away, and told the indigenous people of this world that even without divine intervention, one can awaken supernatural powers.

It seems that everything has been perfectly resolved.

The people in the martial arts world were still eager for more, and everyone was discussing the cultivation methods for various realms, as well as the cultivation methods for supernatural powers.

At this time, Zhang Sanfeng invited Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, and Li Ping to a meeting. Li Ping seemed to be just an extra, because Huang Rong wouldn't go if Li Ping wasn't invited.

Upon seeing everyone, Zhang Sanfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Zhang Junbao greets all seniors!"

"In my original time, I met you all on Mount Hua. Without your rescue and guidance, there would be no Zhang Junbao as we know him today. I will never forget this great kindness!"

He had never met Hong Qigong, but he trusted him.

Then, Zhang Sanfeng said, "I apologize, seniors! Previously, Zhang Junbao told several outrageous lies in front of everyone!"

Everyone was stunned...

At this moment, Daoist Chongxu walked in and said to Zhang Sanfeng, "Master, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! He's outside!"

Everyone was stunned again. What?

What did you say?
