High-Level Martial Era

Obviously, flying at this speed posed no burden to him.

Li Yuan was stunned; this differed greatly from what he knew.

You see, the so-called guidance from a demigod every member of Seven Star Mountain receives for two years isn't about following by their side... it's often just once or twice per month.

Personal cultivation? That's the treatment of a direct disciple.

After all, there are a dozen members of the Seven Star Mountain each year, and how many demigods are there in the whole alliance?

For ordinary members of Seven Star Mountain, receiving guidance a few times is already quite rare.

Lucky.

"As for daily cultivation essentials, I tend to keep them in three storage treasures; I also brought the six bottles of Divine Spirit Liquid that were delivered last time," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Following the other in cultivation for half a year? That also seemed fine.

"Teacher, where are we going?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

"To a place with wind."

...

After just ten minutes.
Your next chapter awaits on empire

Li Yuan saw an endless expanse of land, and then a vast sea appeared.

"New Sea?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

According to the map, they had flown over five thousand kilometers, crossing a small continent... New Sea is a famous ocean on Feixing, the widest part exceeds thirty thousand kilometers... it's the largest ocean in the entire Feixing.

Whoosh!

Lie Feng Semi Divine took Li Yuan and swiftly entered the sea, going hundreds of kilometers deep, and finally slowed down and landed on a small island.

This was an uninhabited island.

Under the bright sunshine, with sea breezes blowing.

Standing on the island made one's heart feel very comfortable, with the sky and sea both a shade of azure, creating a pleasant scenery.

"For the next month, you will cultivate here," Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly.

"Here?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

Looking around, although the scenery was beautiful, there was nothing particularly special.

"Come, take out your long spear," Lie Feng Semi Divine said to Li Yuan, "Attack me, let me see the extent of your Spear Technique."

"Remember, don't use Origin Power; this island can't withstand such destruction."

Whoosh!

Lie Feng Semi Divine flipped his palm and there appeared a black stick in his hand, carved with intricate patterns, and made of an unknown material.

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded, and with a flip of his palm took out a second-rank superior long spear.

This was the weapon he used previously in the World within Worlds.

As for the Black Chen Spear? After all, it was a Semi Divine Artifact, Li Yuan hesitated and did not take it out.

"To spar with a demigod?"

"Lie Feng Semi Divine must want to instruct me," Li Yuan gripped the long spear with both hands, and prompted by a thought, he activated the vigor throughout his body. Without invoking Origin Power, he charged at Lie Feng Semi Divine with a roaring sound.

The island was rugged, but to a high-level expert like Li Yuan, it was almost no different from flat ground.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

A sky-full of spear shadows roared forth, layers of Spear Light bloomed, engulfing Lie Feng Semi Divine.

"Whoosh!"

Lie Feng Semi Divine stepped forward, and his long stick thrust out with a bang. At first glance, the thrust didn't seem fast, but it instantly swept away countless spear shadows and struck precisely at the tip of the spear.

He blocked that thrust.

"This?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly; he hadn't even felt the other party harness the power of the heavens and the earth.

"Continue, don't stop," Lie Feng Semi Divine frowned.

"Yes, Teacher," Li Yuan set aside all his concerns and attacked with all his might, freely displaying each move of his Spear Technique.

No matter how Li Yuan changed his moves, Lie Feng Semi Divine always had the upper hand, each stick strike smashing through all of Li Yuan's moves and counters.

"He's clearly not harnessing the power of the heavens and the earth."

"He's clearly using much less strength than me," Li Yuan fought with great difficulty.

It was as if every move he made was seen through by the opponent.

After dozens of exchanges, Li Yuan's momentum was astonishing, with sand and stones whirling around him, but Lie Feng Semi Divine just stood there, not even moving half a step.

"Intercept,"

"Every time I thrust with my spear, it would be seen through by Lie Feng Semi Divine; at the weakest point of my Spear Technique's burst, I'd be struck and my offensive would be dissolved," Li Yuan composed himself, no longer seeking to compete with Lie Feng Semi Divine but instead focused on identifying the flaws in his own Spear Technique.

Though the strength of their bursts was comparable, he was completely suppressed, indicating the gap in their realms was too great.

"My Spear Technique is too predictable; I need to be more subtle," he thought.

"Stellar True Intent should be seamless and flawless, it can be beaten head-on, but it shouldn't be defeated before it's even fully unleashed; this means there are many flaws in my Spear Technique... there's much room for improvement," Li Yuan noticed many deficiencies in his Spear Technique.

He attempted to make amends!

"More crucially, it's about speed,"

"Lie Feng Semi Divine's Stick Technique doesn't draw upon the powers of heaven and earth, but it can suddenly burst with speed much faster than me... only then can it achieve striking after launching later," Li Yuan also felt the changes in the opponent's Stick Technique: "Better integration with the heavens and the earth."

"Although my Spear Technique is close to merging with the heavens and the earth, there is still air resistance,"

"His Stick Technique burst doesn't encounter air resistance along the way; in fact, it aids him,"

"Is this the Mystery of wind?" Li Yuan was filled with vague ideas.

This scene reminded Li Yuan of when he resonated with the consciousness of the Divine... the Mystery of wind invoked by that Divine's Spear Technique.

They were very similar.

...

After over a thousand exchanges, Lie Feng Semi Divine finally allowed Li Yuan to stop.

"Do you feel it?" Lie Feng Semi Divine asked softly.

"I have some sense of it," Li Yuan nodded first, then shook his head, "But there's still much I don't understand."

"It's right not to understand,"

Lie Feng Semi Divine said, "Alright, my guidance is now over. Go to the cliff there, facing the sea, and figure it out."

Li Yuan was startled.

Is that the end of the guidance? Not a single word.

"Starting from today, I will fight with you once every day, letting you sense the Mystery of wind," Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke softly, "But how exactly to perceive it, how to incorporate it into your Spear Technique... that's your own affair, I won't say more."

"At the same time, we will change locations every month,"

"Skills are rooted in the Law; what's called the Mystery of the Law, the natural Mystery of the heavens and the earth, is precisely the Dao," Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke slowly, "I won't teach you Spear Technique, nor pass on a Secret Manual, nor give specific guidance."

"Because you have no foundation, guiding you now will only bind your mind, cloud your spirit, and prevent you from finding the path most suitable for yourself,"

"Your spiritual power is strong enough to resonate with the heavens and the earth,"

"Since the Dao originates from the heavens and the earth, then seek it from the heavens and the earth," Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan, "When you've found your own path, at least congealed True Intent, I will then give you specific guidance."

"Go on,"

Immediately, Lie Feng Semi Divine sat down on the spot, closed his eyes to rest, and paid no more attention to Li Yuan.

"Thank you, Teacher,"

...

And so, Li Yuan began a completely different journey of Martial Arts Cultivation.

"Seeking the Dao from within the heavens and earth?" Li Yuan sat alone on the sea-facing cliff, silently feeling the Mystery of the wind's fluctuations between heaven and earth.

At the same time, he began to combine the pointers from Lie Feng Semi Divine, trying to express it through his Spear Technique.

...

Half a month later, one day.

Suddenly.

"Boom~" Li Yuan, who had been sitting in meditation on the sea cliff, suddenly had bursts of aura erupting from him, and the mighty power of heaven and earth lashed out in all directions.

"Hmm?"

Lie Feng Semi Divine, who was in quiet cultivation, sensed something, opened his eyes, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes: "True Intent?"

"Without realizing it, he's actually congealed Stellar True Intent?"

"What a freak!"
