Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1478: Which Martial Arts Are Missing?
"However..." Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
"Since they’re all considered Saint Emperor Realm, yet there’s a distinction made between Martial Arts Great Power and Supreme Expert, so clearly defined."
"There can only be one reason."
Xiao Yi frowned as he looked at Elder Yun Yuan and the other, "The power disparity between them is exceptionally vast."
"Smart," Elder Yun Yuan nodded slightly.
Hui Deacon chuckled, "I have always said, speaking with clever people is indeed less cumbersome and more delightful."
"But I still don’t understand." Xiao Yi bluntly asked.
"What don’t you understand?" Elder Yun Yuan inquired.
Xiao Yi organized his thoughts, "Mastering 9100 complete martial paths is the peak of Saint Emperor Realm."
"Mastering 9501 paths defines Martial Arts Great Power."
"Mastering 9990 paths signifies a Supreme Expert."
"Between these three, there is merely a difference of several hundred martial paths; how could there be a vast power disparity?"
Specifically after achieving Saint Emperor Realm peak, they divided into Martial Arts Great Power and Supreme Expert.
It indicates that the power disparity between the three is extraordinarily large, with extremely apparent differences.
However, you must know, after the Limitless Realm, Martial Artist’s power stems from Heaven and Earth’s martial paths; and their disparity lies in the amount of Heaven and Earth martial paths they control.
At the Saint King Realm, a difference of one layer equates to a hundred complete martial paths.
It’s those hundred complete martial paths that led to the notion of an instant kill despite a difference of one layer within the Saint King Realm.
Upon reaching the Saint Emperor Realm, mastering a thousand martial paths allows entry; subsequently, every thousand paths mastered advances a layer.
In other words, within the Saint Emperor Realm, a disparity of one layer means a difference of a thousand complete martial paths, which is undoubtedly larger.
Among those at First Layer of Saint Emperor Realm, mastering one thousand paths; upon reaching Second Layer, it’s two thousand complete martial paths; Third Layer, three thousand complete martial paths...
Once reaching Ninth Layer, according to the division, it’s mastering nine thousand complete martial paths.
However, beyond that, among Saint Emperor Realm peak, Martial Arts Great Power, Supreme Expert, there is merely a few hundred martial paths difference.
Understanding Xiao Yi’s intention, Elder Yun Yuan chuckled and questioned, "You should have crossed paths with those at Saint Emperor Realm peak and Martial Arts Great Power levels, haven’t you?"
"And you should be aware of the immense disparity between them."
"Of course," Xiao Yi nodded.
He has faced both Saint Emperor Realm peak and Martial Arts Great Power level fighters.
Like that Great Elder from Heavenly Nether Mansion, who masters 9300 complete martial paths.
Though not reaching Martial Arts Great Power level, clearly a standout among Saint Emperor Realm peak.
As for Martial Arts Great Power level, such as Beiyin Sect Great Elder, mastering over 9500 complete martial paths.
Xiao Yi has faced both, even confirming if the two were to battle, Beiyin Sect Great Elder could almost instantly kill Heavenly Nether Mansion’s Great Elder.
This is the disparity between Martial Arts Great Power and Saint Emperor Realm peak.
Yet, the real martial path difference is merely around two hundred complete martial paths.’
A mere two hundred complete martial paths, on the scale of thousands within the Saint Emperor Realm, are practically insignificant.
But on the other hand, Xiao Yi is confident these divisions are absolutely correct.
The cultivation system of Flame Dragon Continent reached its peak in ancient times, almost perfect.
Let alone today, millions of years later.
Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.
Hui Deacon chuckled, "I had thought, with your current power, you shouldn’t have any of these issues or doubts."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi questioned, looking at Hui Deacon.
Elder Yun Yuan laughed, "You actually use the number of martial paths to gauge power disparity? Kid, you aren’t one of those foolish rookies."
"The difference between mere accumulation and fusion of martial paths, you knew long ago, didn’t you?"
"Difference between accumulation and fusion?" Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened at the words.
"Remember now?" Elder Yun Yuan laughed, "Comparing the chaotic storage of complete martial paths in a small world with those fused harmoniously — the disparity in power between them is naturally immense."
Xiao Yi’s face revealed a sudden epiphany, "Indeed, Martial Artists after the Saint Realm have long since embarked on a path unique to themselves."
Hui Deacon continued, "Why are Martial Arts Great Power considered such? Because they have become great in martial arts."
"With over 9500 complete martial paths, the sheer volume is immense, and the martial art knowledge they command is equally substantial."
"Such individuals, you can imagine, despite struggling to fuse all 9500 paths, the martial path they follow is already perfected to an extraordinary level."
"As for Supreme Experts, they are even more terrifying."
"9990 complete martial paths, one can imagine they’ve ventured remarkably far along their personal martial path."
"Hence, they earn the Supreme title, unrivaled across the world."
"I understand now." Xiao Yi realized and nodded.
Although seemingly differing by just a few hundred complete martial paths.
The truth is that the degree to which they each perfected their personal martial paths isn’t on the same level at all.
Reaching that stage, the perfection in their martial paths is at a very high tier; every difference, every fusion, could represent wide-ranging power disparity.
Take Xiao Yi himself.
He reaches the Ninth Layer of Saint King Realm, mastering over nine hundred complete martial paths.
But among these, truly belonging to Sword Dao is merely half.
The remaining half pertains to Fire-type martial paths.
And this half concerning Sword Dao is precisely the Sword Dao he perfects, marking his Sword Dao prowess.
One can imagine, within those 9990 complete martial paths of Supreme Experts, how many are Sword Dao Practitioners and how many are fused.
Take Sword Cultivators, for instance; those at Supreme Expert level have nearly completed their Sword Dao to an impressive extent; their Sword Dao prowess undeniably strong.
Other martial arts practitioners of the same, naturally apply.
"The Mansion Masters of the Eighteen Mansions are Supreme Experts, aren’t they?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Indeed," Elder Yun Yuan nodded, "Currently in Sword Domain, the Sect Masters of Qi Sect and Artifact Sect, as well as the Lin Family Master, are Supreme Experts."
"All of them?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, "But I feel the aura of Lin Family Master far surpasses the two Sect Masters." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"That stands to reason," Elder Yun Yuan replied, "The Lin Family Master is a supreme Sword Cultivator mastering 9998 complete martial paths."
"Whereas the two Sect Masters hover around 9995 paths."
"Post Supreme Expert, the power disparity caused by each difference in martial paths far surpasses the gap between Supreme Experts and Martial Arts Great Power."
"That disparity is even larger."
"Merely one path difference leads to such disparity?" Xiao Yi frowned more deeply, "If I’m not mistaken, upon reaching ten thousand martial paths, Martial Artists would enter a new realm."
"Correct, but that’s not something you should be concerned with now." Hui Deacon suddenly hardened his tone.
Xiao Yi ignored it, continued asking, "After reaching Supreme Expert, the gap to the next realm is just 10 complete martial paths."
"Why not break through immediately? Comprehending a mere 10 complete martial paths shouldn’t be difficult."
Take Xiao Yi himself, comprehending over a hundred complete martial paths in a month’s time.
The two exchanged mysterious smiles, "Indeed, comprehending isn’t difficult, just 10 complete martial paths."
"But, do you truly know which 10 martial paths you’re missing?"
"What?" Xiao Yi’s complexion abruptly changed.
...
Second update.
