Based on the information he had gathered and his deductions about the three cultivation paths of the Spirit Realm, the Way of Essence Refinement was the strongest but also the most dangerous.
Refining each aperture required countless painstaking efforts and careful honing to yield extraordinary results.
So, it was not all that surprising to Pei Xuanjing that he had died once again due to Aperture
Refinement.
In fact, Pei Xuanjing had fallen into a misconception he was not aware of – while the Way of Essence Refinement is indeed dangerous, it does not result in one inadvertently collapsing and dying like he did.
If that were the case, with a nearly surefire probability of death, hardly anyone would choose this path.
Under normal cultivation circumstances, even cultivators who practice the Way of Essence Refinement choose to strengthen their physical body first before honing their apertures.
Pei Xuanjing’s direct approach to refining apertures was actually unorthodox. Even amongst the Essence Refinement cultivators of the Tang Dynasty, only those with exceptional talent and unwavering determination would do so.
So, this was a matter of biased information, caused by his lack of relevant knowledge.
That he managed to refine an aperture in his previous life simulation can already be considered a stroke of good luck.
Thankfully, the simulator assisted him in avoiding such a high price—otherwise, hundreds of Pei Xuanjings would not suffice.
[Simulation completed, you may choose to retain one of the following rewards.]
[First choice: Innate Thunder Gang Qi of the Great Completion Realm and its cultivation method.]
[Second choice: True Qi accumulation at the age of forty-two.] [Third choice: The unrivaled Martial Study of “Innate Gang Qi”.] Without any hesitation, Pei Xuanjing chose the first one, the Innate Thunder Gang Qi of the Great Completion Realm and its cultivation method.
To him, even if he obtained the unrivaled Martial Study of Innate Gang Qi, he wouldn’t choose to abandon his current martial skill to cultivate it. The end result would still be integrating it into his existing skills.
So why not choose the first one and avoid numerous troubles?
Once he made his choice, a plethora of information appeared in Pei Xuanjing’s mind.
Following the methods in the information, the Shenxiao Thunder Gang Qi within Pei Xuanjing began to transform.
Innate Gang Qi, hailed as the progenitor of Ixia True Qi, Supreme Pure Gang Qi, and Profound Sect Gang Qi, is also a fast-track Profound Sect method.
The Innate Qi cultivated with this method is an extremely yin and soft qi that can generate extremely pure, rigid, and yang Gang Qi, proving more powerful than Supreme Pure Gang Qi, and possessing the automatic defensive effect. It is a supreme mysterious skill that aids in body cultivation.
The most remarkable feature of this sect’s Gang Qi is its extraordinary defensive rebound capabilities, greatly increasing the force of an attack. It is said to be the purest positive qi between Heaven and Earth.
It can use one’s own true qi to draw upon the natural qi between Heaven and Earth and form an offensive and defensive Gang Qi shield on the outer body. Once cultivated to an advanced level, the Heaven and Earth’s force can be used by the cultivator, with each attack carrying the natural qi between Heaven and Earth, defeating enemies with the power of Heaven and Earth.
Even rumors suggest that once this method is perfected, the unimaginable power it possesses can bring dead flesh back to life. It can be said it is an unparalleled skill that balances offense and defense.
Pei Xuanjing integrated it into his Shenxiao Thunder Gang Qi, transforming the Gang Qi shield into the power of thunder that permeated his whole body. Paired with his originally formidable physique, his defensive ability improved even more.
In addition, he not only retained the original ability to channel natural qi, but when cultivated to an advanced level, he could transform the Heaven and Earth’s qi into the destructive power of thunder. With each attack, he could carry the Heaven and Earth’s momentum of Shenxiao Thunder to defeat his enemies.
Moreover, he could use the creative energy within the thunder to heal injuries and restore his powers. It in no way lost to the original Innate Gang Qi’s healing abilities.
Pei Xuanjing’s improved Innate Thunder Gang Qi may have missed out on some of the original Innate Gang Qi’S capabilities, but it was undoubtedly better suited to his own cultivation path.
When it comes to martial arts masters like Pei Xuanjing, they wouldn’t blindly imitate any Martial Study. Instead, they would take what’s best, discard the rest, and adapt it to their own use.
This way, they won’t fall into the constraints of the founders of the martial arts and can carve their own path in the martial arts world.
If they blindly practice according to the founder’s path, in the end, they would not be cultivating their own martial arts, but someone else’s.
One should not fear fate, disregard public opinion, or be law-abiding to ancestors.
A martial arts master who can truly step onto the peak, regardless of what they initially practice, will eventually choose to break away from their predecessor’s limitations and find their own path.
Quietly operating his skill, Pei Xuanjing’s body slowly emits a layer of blue-purple light covering his whole body, exuding a terrifying aura.
When Pei Xuanjing walked out of the secluded room, he found some letters left by Pang Hong.
According to Pang Hong, he was doing well while adventuring in the martial world.
He made some new friends in the martial world and even ran into two acquaintances.
These were the sibling duo he and Pei Xuanjing had met when they encountered Maitreya Sect Leader Zhao Baiyang at the Wild Mountain Ancient Temple.
According to Pang Hong, he sensed that their words and actions were not like those of ordinary people. He later inadvertently confirmed their identity.
“So it turns out they’re the son and daughter of the Heavenly King’s Pavilion master,” laughed Pei Xuanjing. He would never have guessed that the two young people he met at the Wild Mountain Ancient Temple came from such extraordinary backgrounds..
