You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 350 - 188: Gift Giving

Second Peak, Phoenix Perch Cliff.

Today, a great wind, with rain.

Ye Qingzhou sat cross-legged at the edge of the cliff, braving the wind and rain, occasionally looking up to observe the sun and moon, and sometimes bowing his head to overlook the mountains and rivers, continually contemplating the wondrous interplay of Yin and Yang, capturing the flow of energy of all things in the universe.

At this moment, his spirit was elevated infinitely, as if merging with the heavens and earth.

Yet, within his perception, what Ye Qingzhou focused on was a seemingly insignificant drop of water amidst the torrential rain.

This drop of water, from the ocean, evaporated under the sunlight as the temperature rose, and then, due to varying air pressures, was blown to the land by the wind.

The water vapor was pushed by the howling wind to the mountain peak, where the sudden drop in temperature caused the vapor to condense into raindrops, eventually forming a sky-covering torrent that fell upon him, soaking his garments.

Observing all this, Ye Qingzhou’s spirit seemed to merge into the droplet, accompanying the transformation of energy, sometimes evaporating into formless vapor, rising skyward.

Sometimes condensing into ice, descending from the heavens.

Sometimes gathering into rivers, flowing east to the ocean.

The changing forms of the raindrop, from the small to the vast, represent the circulation of energy. The essence of the momentum of all things in the universe is simply the transformation of energy, giving birth to such a colorful world.

Energy does not disappear out of thin air; it only transforms from one form to another.

Martial Arts True Qi is essentially a form of energy, and the different attributes and effects are simply variations in the form of this True Qi.

If one grasps the principles of these transformations, then a Martial Artist can wield all sorts of astonishing powers.

Ye Qingzhou’s cultivation and realm today are no longer restrained by the Professional Level. In his previous life, he was adept in Gang Force, therefore, he has a towering understanding and reflection on the Martial Dao.

Now, he merely applies his past experiences and knowledge to the Martial Dao of the Blue Star.

In Martial Dao, the level of a Martial Artist is not the most crucial factor; rather, it is the ability to learn and the talent for thinking and understanding that are of utmost importance.

Just as the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

What you have learned is never the key; the real key is your ability to learn.

And Ye Qingzhou’s Martial Arts talent is his greatest asset, an ability to learn that cannot be stripped away by others.

"My Minor Celestial Cycle and Middle Celestial Cycle have already been established, and the True Qi Martial Armor has been forged. Next, I need to establish the Grand Cycle, achieve Divine Thought communication with the heavens and earth, and integrate True Qi with nature, to construct the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, breaking through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate."

For human Martial Artists, this is the path to the second transcendence of life and the crucial step towards the Heaven-Ascending Realm.

Only by crossing this threshold can one qualify to step into the true Extraordinary Domain.

Minor Cycle, Middle Cycle, and Grand Cycle, these three True Qi circulation techniques are, in essence, methods of energy circulation.

In the initial stage, a Martial Artist must control the internal circulation of True Qi, allowing Martial Arts True Qi, this unique life energy, to flow unimpeded in the body, thereby continuously tapping into one’s life potential.

When reaching a certain level, one can enter the second stage, the Middle Celestial Cycle.

The goal of this stage is for Martial Arts True Qi to leave the body and construct an external cycle, forming a protective barrier akin to armor.

The True Qi Martial Armor is the enhanced version of Protective True Qi.

Martial Artists from the Professional Fourth Rank to the Sixth Rank will possess Protective True Qi, but only Martial Arts prodigies, with sufficient talent and resources, can refine True Qi Martial Armor.

True Qi Martial Armor represents the stable nature of energy circulation; the more stable the cycle, the stronger its resistance to interference and impact.

Therefore, True Qi Martial Armor often becomes the defining line between Master Level Martial Artists and Professional Level Martial Artists.

A Professional Level Martial Artist with True Qi Martial Armor may not necessarily become a Martial Arts Master.

But all Martial Arts Masters had already forged True Qi Martial Armor at the Professional Level.

As for the third stage, the Grand Cycle, in Ye Qingzhou’s view, it can be summarized in four words—Celestial Human Communication.

This ability is quite similar to the Power of Mental Imagery of a Martial Saint.

However, the Martial Saint’s Mental Imagery uses one’s own heart to replace the heart of the heavens, not only receiving information but also emitting information, intervening in the laws of nature through personal will, thereby reversing Qian and Kunn.

In contrast, the Grand Cycle and Celestial Human Communication of a Professional Level Martial Artist primarily involve receiving information from the universe, allowing one to follow the grand momentum of heaven and earth and thus take advantage of circumstances, leveraging force.

With this insight, Ye Qingzhou leapt up and plunged off the cliff.

The scenes around him flowed swiftly past his eyes; in a flash, the fierce wind howled past his ears, and Ye Qingzhou closed his eyes slightly, carefully comprehending this transformation as he jumped off the cliff—merely potential energy transforming into kinetic energy.

Clang~

Famous Sword Flying Snow, Divine Weapon Celestial Punishment, simultaneously drawn, were gripped in Ye Qingzhou’s hands.

Then, with the sword light flowing and sword shadows heavy, Ye Qingzhou performed his self-created "Sword Shadow Immortal Trace" cultivation technique, transforming the Martial Arts True Qi within him into Wind Force in an instant.

The airflow stirred by the sword edge propelled Ye Qingzhou’s body to soar into the clouds.

Ye Qingzhou flew higher and higher, and the powerful kinetic energy in his body continuously transformed into potential energy.
