Human Clan Defender-Chapter 797 - s 109 to 110: The Martial Saint Title, Direct Lineage of the Divine Spirit (Two in One, Request for Monthly Tickets)_4

"If I had received this Martial Arts Manual ten years earlier, I would have surely broken through Grandmaster Peak. No, I should say it would be Great Grandmaster!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Grandmaster Peak was an old designation. Ever since the Martial Institute opened and the Martial Arts Manual began circulating throughout the world, everyone had come to know the new Realms in the Martial Dao. Grandmaster Peak corresponded to Great Grandmaster. Grandmaster Ultimate Summit corresponded to the Extreme Realm. The legendary Great Grandmasters corresponded to Heaven Beings. Other than these, there were no major changes.

As a once Supreme Sect, the Qingyu Sect naturally possessed a thoroughly complete inheritance, with a lineage that extended from the Body Tempering Realm to the Extreme Realm. However, although the Qingyu Sect's inheritance was complete, its cultivation requirements were also quite demanding. Over the years, those in the Qingyu Sect who had truly cultivated their inheritance to a state of Great Achievement could be counted on one hand. Including the fallen Yun Dingtian, the Qingyu Sect had, at most, produced only five Extreme Realm experts.

In principle, given a complete inheritance and no shortage of talent in a Supreme Sect, producing only five Extreme Realm experts seemed illogical. This brought the discussion back to cultivation requirements. Every Martial Arts technique had its corresponding thresholds for entry. The human body's five viscera and six organs corresponded to the five elements. Some people were naturally gifted in the fire element, while others possessed extraordinary talents in the water element. The Martial Arts of the Qingyu Sect were primarily based on the wood element. One had to possess an extremely strong talent in the wood element to have any chance of achieving Great Achievement. As such, there weren't many in the Qingyu Sect who could actually reach the state of Great Achievement. After all, the body's five elements could not be fully discerned, leaving everyone uncertain about their true elemental affinity.

But the Martial Arts Manual was different. It contained a balanced Martial Arts approach, not skewed toward any particular element. This allowed anyone to begin cultivating and harbor hopes of reaching Great Achievement. With that in mind, the importance of the Martial Arts Manual became quite apparent.

Before obtaining the Martial Arts Manual, Yun Yi had wondered whether the Imperial Court established the Martial Institute to train disciples from various sects as inheritors of their legacies, or if there was another purpose. Now that I've seen the Martial Arts Manual, everything is crystal clear. The Martial Arts of the various sects and schools are not the foundation of the Martial Institute; only the Martial Arts Manual is paramount. Their role as teachers at the Martial Institute is to guide students onto the path of the Martial Dao, helping them avoid detours. Of course, if a student possessed suitable talent and compatibility, they could also inherit their own sect's Ultimate Studies.

But as he recalled the contents of the Martial Arts Manual, Yun Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

Unless it's a Supreme Sect, the inheritances of other sects, when compared at the same Realm, might not even match the Martial Arts within the Manual. Moreover, the Martial Arts within the Manual are connected in a lineage that points toward a profound realm. In comparison, those sects' Martial Arts have a fixed upper limit; what appeal could they possibly hold? There's no need to even consider other sects. Even the Qingyu Sect's inheritance—how does it fare? At best, it stops at the Extreme Realm. Because the Qingyu Sect has never had an expert above the Extreme Realm, this sets the ceiling for their inheritance. But the Martial Arts Manual is different. Even though the Martial Arts Manual I've obtained also stops at the Extreme Realm, I can tell there should be more content beyond it. At the very least, the cultivation methods for after the Heaven Being Realm must exist. So, when comparing upper limits, the Martial Arts Manual can easily outclass any sect's inheritance.

It's a pity I've had this precious tome for such a short time. But even so, if I had a bit more time, it's not impossible for me to enter the Great Grandmaster Realm! Or even—Reaching the Extreme Realm isn't out of the question!

Yun Yi took a deep breath; at this moment, he could see the path forward.

I am old. Under normal circumstances, I don't have many years of life expectancy left. However, if I can achieve further breakthroughs, there might be a chance to extend my lifespan. For me, this is an enormous opportunity. I never thought that in my lifetime, I'd have the chance to step into such a Realm.

Yun Yi smiled knowingly, his solemn face relaxing somewhat, then refocused his attention on the Martial Arts Manual in front of him.

The contents recorded here are profound; I must continue to comprehend them.
