Chapter 270: Chapter 168: Martial Arts External Body_3

The only difference was breaking through this layer of insight, allowing him to utilize various conditions he possessed to form an outer world around his body.
‘My Inner Strength and external aura have almost become substantial, which should meet the requirements for constructing the Outer World. With my state of mind and soul strength developed over the years of cultivation, I should be able to control the external aura.’
Essentially, he could now attempt to break through Innate and condense an
Outer World body, breaking the Heavenly and Earthly Mysterious Barrier.’ Lu Yuan thought so, and felt restless, but he knew that now was not the time to
break through Innate. Moreover, breaking through Innate cannot be that simple.
The most important point was that he didn’t know how to construct an outer world body at this time.
If he rushed to break through Innate without understanding this, the risk of failure would be extremely high and might even cost him his life.
After all, both the outwardly manifesting spirit and the soul condensed Martial Dao True Intent were matters directly related to his life’s foundation, and they were not to be damaged.
So, after contemplating, Lu Yuan bowed to Ziyun Dao Master and asked, “True
Person, after fulfilling various conditions, how can I condense the body of the Outer World?”
If he didn’t know, then it was best to ask someone who did.
Lu Yuan was quite flexible in this regard.
True Person Zhen Xuan stroked his beard but shook his head, “As for how to condense the body of the Outer World, I’m not sure either. All our martial arts, personal dispositions, and soul strengths are different.
Therefore, the condensed martial arts external bodies are naturally different, and there has never been a fixed formula.
However, every Grandmaster who breaks through Innate is said to choose a symbol of Heaven and Earth as their Outer Dao body to condense their martial arts external body.
This symbol of Heaven and Earth could be the sun, moon, stars, rivers, mountains, plants, flowers, rainbow and thunder, or anything in the world.
The so-called martial arts external body is just a dwelling place for accommodating True Intent and True pneuma, and a bridge for communication between Heaven and Earth.
As long as it meets this condition, it is not bound by external appearances.
Even if the Fellow Daoist’s practiced martial arts external body is a drop of water, a flame, a grain of sand, or a piece of iron, it doesn’t matter.
As long as it conforms to Fellow Daoist’s wishes, to Fellow Daoist’s cultivation method, to Fellow Daoist’s soul, and to Fellow Daoist’s realm, then it is a good martial arts external body.”
This amorphous theory left Lu Yuan stunned.
“Not constrained by external appearances?”
He muttered in a daze, feeling an epiphany in his heart.
If there wasn’t a fixed structure and one only needed to base it on their own wishes, cultivation method, soul, and state of mind to condense an external body.
Then, what was the external appearance that best suited him?
Lu Yuan practiced the Chi Yang Divine Skill, which was a cultivation technique created by imitating the fierce sun in the sky. Moreover, his Inner Strength had been transformed twice before, and its nature was not pure Chi Yang energy.
To refine his Inner Strength, he used jade slabs containing Immortal Spirit Qi that was ethereal and otherworldly.
Furthermore, the state of mind used to control his Inner Strength was condensed through reading thousands of Taoist Classics.
His own soul was a product of transmigration, and he wasn’t sure if it was pure or not.
‘It feels like such a complex mix.’
After recalling everything, Lu Yuan felt dazed and unsure of the shape his martial arts external body should take.
This was destined to be a question worth pondering once he returned.
At this moment, it was impossible to figure out.
After receiving the reply, Lu Yuan composed himself and respectfully bowed to Ziyun Dao Master, “Thank you for the technique, True Person. I will not forget your guidance today. In the future, if you have any instructions, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse.”
Although Lu Yuan had originally met various conditions to Break through Innate and was only one step away from it.
Without help, he might not break through that barrier for decades or even hundreds of years.
Who knew when he would truly break through Innate?
Today, with Ziyun Dao Master’s help in breaking through that layer of fog, Lu Yuan’s time was undoubtedly saved, and he was even shown a safe path, helping him avoid the risks of blindly groping on his own.
This kindness couldn’t be ignored.
So Lu Yuan committed to this relationship and made his statement at this moment.
However, on the other hand.
To be able to establish a relationship with Ziyun Dao Master because of this kindness was indeed a good thing many people envied.
It was difficult to say whether Lu Yuan had really lost out.
“Fellow Daoist, you do not need to be overly polite.”
True Person Zhen Xuan was quite satisfied with Lu Yuan’s statement, as it eliminated a competitor for cultivation resources and avoided internal consumption.
At the same time, to obtain the friendship of a future innate expert was also a joyful thing for him.
Therefore, he cheerfully said, “The Inescapable Meeting is meant for exchanging ideas among fellow Daoists. Today I had the opportunity to discuss with Taoist Lu, and I am very fortunate. I hope that at the next conference, Fellow Daoist will have broken through Innate and can truly sit and discuss Dao with us.”
At this point, True Person Zhen Xuan and others, although calling Lu Yuan their Fellow Daoist, it was clearly a polite statement.
Just like when Qi Yun first met Lu Yuan and called him a Fellow Daoist, it was merely a matter of courtesy.
To truly sit and discuss the Dao with True Person Zhen Xuan and others, Lu Yuan had to become an Inborn Grandmaster first.
Because only Inborn Grandmasters could be on par with these cultivators.
Lu Yuan also understood this principle, so he said, “After I return, I will concentrate on cultivation, and during the next conference, I will sit and discuss Dao with True Person.”
“Then we shall wait for that day.”
True Person Zhen Xuan and others nodded with a smile.
After the conversation, it was almost time to end. There were already some people waiting below the palace gate, ready to visit Ziyun Dao Master and others.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had finished speaking with Ziyun Dao Master, Yang Jing stepped forward and said, “Today we have had the pleasure of meeting True Persons, and we feel very fortunate. There are other fellow Daoist friends waiting below, so we will not disturb you anymore. May the True Persons make progress in Immortal Techniques and ascend soon.”
“Fellow Daoists, take care.”
True Person Zhen Xuan also smiled and said, “I hope the next time we meet, both Fellow Daoists will have broken through Innate and achieved the Grandmaster status.”
After paying respects to one another, Lu Yuan’s party left the hall..
