"Qingyun Cluster!"

"Jing Bao's Dao!"

"At the final critical moment of the Sword Discussion, Jing Bao narrowly attained Dao!"

"Another Dao-attaining prodigy under Yan Chuan's tutelage!"

Sight of the Qingyun prompted cries from the crowd.

As the Sword Discussion was drawing to a close, Jing Bao attained Dao in the final moments, so close that it made everyone break into a sweat for him.

Simultaneously, they were shocked by yet another 'achievement' of Yan Chuan.

The second Sword Discussion.

The last day.

Yan Chuan came to the martial arts lecture, effortlessly advancing four to the Innate realm. His profound martial arts accomplishment and exceptional teaching skills were chilling!

However.

Their astonishment was premature.

This Sword Discussion had yet to conclude, and Yan Chuan's achievements didn't stop there ——

...

"Lightning-like rapidity envelops the stars, turn and smash to advance unexpectedly. Cast the spear and charge in the Hong Gate stance, dance to bear the mountain and sweep with a thrust."

Yu Jinpeng, cultivating 'Tai Chi Boxing', wielded the 'Tai Chi Spear' ——

Face cover, back wrap, horizontal brow sweep, back smash, spear dragging, face wrap!

Side barrier, side block, skirt block, Azure Dragon Emerges from Water, White Ape Dragging Spear, Lute Formation!

The wonder of Yu Jinpeng's spear technique lay in its proficiency.

Proficiency allowed the mind to forget the hands, the hands to forget the spear, a perfected spirit unhindered. Moreover, stillness was precious, for in stillness, the mind did not move frivolously and operated smoothly, with unpredictable changes, infinite divine transformation.

This was 'Tai Chi'!

"One yin, nine yangs make the root staff, two yins, eight yangs is loose-hand."

"Three yins, seven yangs still feel firm, four yins, six yangs resemble a skilled hand."

"Only five yins and five yangs, with yin and yang balanced, deserve to be called a master."

"A master's every move is Tai Chi, and every Tai Chi move transforms into nothingness."

"Wherever I touch, I strike, yet I remain oblivious to the mystery."

Tai Chi!

Mastery!

Yan Chuan lectured on martial arts, on the Daoist Cushion. Yu Jinpeng listened, and more than a year's arduous foundation exploded in an endless, mighty wave ——

Yu Jinpeng!

Attained Dao and entered the Innate realm!

...

Jing Bao!

Yu Jinpeng!

Both attained Dao!

Yet another simultaneous Dao attainment!

"Not long ago, Peng Fannian and Ban Xianfu also attained Dao together!"

"Shi Qingke and Lu Yuru also attained Dao together."

"Going back further, Yan Chuan with Situ Fei, Ding Xiang with Ying Jifeng, all attained Dao two by two! And now again!"

"It's incomprehensible! Shi Qingke's Dao attainment was because he attempted it last time. Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, and Jing Bao achieved it due to sufficient accumulation, but what about Yu Jinpeng? He wasn't even close before, not showing any sign, yet he attained Dao?"

"So strange!"

...

'Jing Bao' and 'Yu Jinpeng' both attaining Dao truly shocked many, especially Yu Jinpeng's attainment showed no signs. It seemed like Yan Chuan lectured for two hours, and Yu Jinpeng kept improving and advancing until suddenly he achieved it.

It made no sense.

"Though it seems inexplicable, isn't it because Yan Chuan's insight is extraordinary? Every point in his martial teaching resonated with Yu Jinpeng, letting him improve. A sudden enlightenment, a breakthrough is normal, and Dao attainment is not completely illogical."

A grandmaster forcefully explained.

Yu Jinpeng was an exception, but isn't many attaining Dao often so bewildering?

If anyone could find a stable pattern for Dao-attaining the Innate realm, that would be abnormal.

Only a Yu Jinpeng.

No big deal.

But, in the next moment, all Heavenly Masters bowed their heads, faces twitching, as they suddenly saw below another attainment ——

...

"Top, embrace, bear, lift, swing, entwine!"

"'Top' is upward lead, downward sink, left push, right pull, exerting crosswise force from all directions."

"'Embrace' is to curl tightly like a ball, ready to strike, embodying defense with offense, and offense in defense techniques."

"'Bear' uses the wheel of the fist as a force point, striking downward with a covering, smashing technique."

"'Lift' refers to the changes in the leg technique."

"'Swing' is a bent arm short strike method and quick throw technique."

"'Entwine' is divided into big and small; small entwines the wrist, big entwines the arm."

Jin Yutang listened as his master explained 'Baji Fist', combining it with 'Xingyi Boxing' and 'Tai Chi Boxing'. Today, his mind was active tenfold, using 'Baji Fist' as the base, integrating the three boxing styles, gaining a deeper understanding of 'Baji Fist': "One strike leading with top elbow twists left and right, two strikes leading with holding elbow, stepping smoothly to catch up, combine lift and swing to practice solo upward strike, step smoothly with waist becomes entwine, turning body leading elbow stands in center, Divine Fist passing backward."

Move like a taut bow, release like thunder.

Jin Yutang attained complete enlightenment. He caught up with Jing Bao for a fierce attack ——

"Yama's Three Points Hand."

"Fierce Tiger Climbing the Mountain."

"Yingmen Three Disregards."

"Overlord Yingzhe Jiang."

"Windward Sun Palm."

"Left and Right Hard Door Opening"

"Yellow Warbler Double Claws."

"Earth-to-Sky Cannon."

Baji Fist!

Eight Major Moves!

Jin Yutang launched them seamlessly in one go, his strike causing Jing Bao's Qingyun to tremble erratically, yet Jin Yutang stood at his peak ——

Sink shoulder, drop elbow, stomp feet, breathe out!

Boom!

This was 'Sinking Force', and the ground beneath Jin Yutang's feet suddenly collapsed.

Lift, straighten neck, pull waist!

Bam bam!

This was 'Top Pulling Force', a surge of energy seeming ready to burst from the head.

The two forces moving up and down seem like a 'vertical' stroke!

In the next moment—

"Ha!"

Jin Yutang burst out with a shout, the front hand struck forward, the back hand pulled back, the force connected like a 'horizontal' stroke!

A horizontal and a vertical!

This is the 'Cross Top Pulling Force'!

This force supported Jin Yutang's whole Qi-Blood to tremble fiercely—

"Eight Gates!"

"Open!"

Jin Yutang's eyes widened, the Eight Gates all opened, the Qi-Blood smoke shot up like a pillar—

"Since ancient times the mountains and seas are boundless, the Eight Extremities divine travel, where is the peak? Having traversed the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, in the mortal world, there is the demeanor of the Fist King."

Jin Yutang let out a long howl.

Qi-Blood Smoke!

Proving Dao to the Innate!

...

"Spectacular!"

"So spectacular!"

"This Sword Discussion is destined to be recorded in the annals of history—"

"'Instantly Create Mountains' Shi Qingke!"

"'Iron Fire Judge' Peng Fannian!"

"'Half-human half-demon' Ban Xianfu!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"'Guan Sha Guan Mai' Jing Bao!"

"'Two Extreme Boxing Kings' Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang!"

"A Sword Discussion where six people proved Dao, unbelievable."

"Yan Chuan."

"The key lies with Yan Chuan, all those who proved Dao did so under his explanation and guidance, and during his guidance, they made breakthroughs, this cannot be a coincidence."

"How can there be so many coincidences?"

"Yan Chuan must have some tricks up his sleeve!"

...

The Sword Discussion had ended, the new Twelve Strong of the second session were freshly unveiled, yet many people on Cang Mountain remained in shock.

This Sword Discussion had heavenly prides proving Dao one after another, shocking indeed.

Especially as these heavenly prides proved Dao under Yan Chuan's explanations and guidance, even more shocking.

...

"Yan Chuan!"

"Amazing!"

Among the Black Hawk Sect, Wei Buqun, Song Ping, Wei Chibing, and Dang Hong received the latest intelligence on the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion at the first opportunity, even they couldn't help but be astonished.

"Went to Cang Mountain on the last day."

"In less than a day, he enlightened six new Innates, not including the newly-advanced Lu Yuru who went to Cang Mountain with him."

"Plus me, that makes eight."

"Add Luo Qi before the Sword Discussion, that's nine."

"Plus further back, Ying Jifeng, Ding Xiang, Wang Zhengyi, Chen Ze and Jiang Bianliu—"

'Green Winged Bat King' Wei Chibing was shocked, "Fourteen?!"

Once you start counting, it's astounding!

In just over a year, there were as many as fourteen people who became Innates by Yan Chuan's enlightenment!

Is he even human?!

"In the entire Great Yan, nearly all the newly-advanced Innates this year have something to do with Yan Chuan?!" 'Purple Robe Dragon King' Song Ping was also shocked, what kind of person is this?

Compared to the shock of these two, 'Golden Lion King' Dang Hong was more speechless, "So many people were enlightened by Yan Chuan and could prove Dao, even the old bat managed it, but I was left out?"

Ha!

Wasn't it so!

Yan Chuan explained martial arts, Wei Chibing proved Dao, Shi Qingke, Ban Xianfu, Peng Fannian, Jing Bao, all proved Dao, even Jiang Bianliu, that old fellow, proved Dao because of Yan Chuan.

Only he was the exception!

"Could it be that he doesn't like me?" Dang Hong began to doubt whether he had offended Yan Chuan somewhere.

"The Lion King is overthinking it." Wei Buqun shook his head, "Indeed, many have been enlightened to prove Dao by Yan Chuan, but we must also see that in this Sword Discussion, the ones in the first tier, Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, and Ma Hongniang, their relationship with Yan Chuan is quite deep. If possible, I believe Yan Chuan would not have refrained from giving them a helping hand, but even Shi Qingke proved Dao, yet these three did not break through, is Yan Chuan targeting them too?"

That can't be!

Everyone knows Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan were Yan Chuan's teammates in the first Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, their camaraderie from fighting side by side and rising together is extraordinary, the friendship is deep.

Ma Hongniang is no worse off.

She and Yan Chuan made a name for themselves at the first Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, and participated together in the 'Mo Yin Continent's Royal City Competition' in the Mountain and Sea Realm, also fighting side by side.

These three!

Yan Chuan could not possibly not help them.

Yet they failed to prove Dao in the second Sword Discussion.

Why?

"It's not that Yan Chuan didn't help."

"I speculate that Yan Chuan's 'enlightenment' of Innate relies heavily on 'going with the flow'."

"The Bat King was only one step away from Innate, Yan Chuan gave a push, and the Bat King made it."

"But this 'going with the flow' doesn't work for everyone, the Lion King's accumulation is no less than the Bat King's, yet after the same lecture, he did not prove Dao. Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, and Ma Hongniang's realm, strength, and foundation are not necessarily inferior to Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, or Jing Bao, and their relationship with Yan Chuan is deep, Yan Chuan probably tried to give them a push, but evidently didn't succeed."

Wei Buqun speculated.

His guess was actually quite reasonable, not far from the truth.

The so-called 'Golden Touch' of Yan Chuan in the eyes of outsiders is actually 'Mutual Teaching and Learning.'

For those at the peak stage only one step away from Innate—

Those who are geniuses themselves benefit from the Level Four 'Mutual Teaching and Learning' which improves their comprehension efficiency by 125%, allowing them to be even more genius, likely making further progress. Representative figures like Ying Jifeng, Luo Qi, Lu Yuru, Shi Qingke, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, and Jing Bao were all top heavenly prides at the forefront of the 'Human List' even before meeting Yan Chuan, their foundation was solid, constantly guided by Yan Chuan, a gentle push, and they became Innate easily and naturally.

As for those with mediocre qualifications, it depends on luck, for instance, within the Black Hawk Sect, both the Bat King and the Lion King at the peak stage couldn't prove Dao for decades, both listened to Yan Chuan's martial arts lecture, in the end, the Bat King proved Dao, the Lion King didn't, it's a matter of probability.

And among those with mediocre qualifications, there are two cases—

One is like Wei Chibing and Dang Hong who had never heard Yan Chuan's martial art lectures before reaching the peak stage, they have a greater chance of breaking through in the early stages of listening.

The second is like Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan who grew to the peak stage almost listening to Yan Chuan's martial arts lecture, in other words, they have become 'desensitized,' thus the impact heard again is weaker, the hope of proving Dao is much smaller.

Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang are another special case, the 'Daoist Cushion' is not something everyone can enjoy.

These two, in terms of qualification and comprehension, are even inferior to Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, Wei Chibing, and Dang Hong, but from the initial Postnatal stage, they never heard Yan Chuan's martial arts lecture until reaching the peak stage, they remained 'sensitive' to Yan Chuan. On top of that, with the 'Daoist Cushion' enhancing the effect of 'Mutual Teaching and Learning' by 1000%, in fact, twice in a row with the 'Daoist Cushion,' these two 'uglies' were forcibly sent to the Innate Realm by Yan Chuan!

The 'Daoist Cushion'!

Now that's called 'enlightenment'!
