Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi quickly pondered in his mind.

The martial arts doubts he wanted to solve were simply too many.

Suddenly expecting him to ask all within a short 5 minutes and resolve them all, seemed impossible.

Anxious at heart, his thoughts became a chaotic mess.

"Sigh..." Xiao Yi took a deep breath to calm the chaos in his mind.

Even though there were many doubts in his mind, the doubt he wanted to solve, and the purpose of coming here today, mainly focused on one issue.

That was the cause of his martial arts stagnation.

"Senior." Xiao Yi cupped his hands quickly and asked, "Junior currently possesses the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer."

"But since the last breakthrough, my martial arts cultivation has been stagnant."

"I wish to know how to proceed on the martial arts Dao afterwards."

"I request the guidance from the senior."

"Cultivation is stagnant." Senior Luoo nodded and said, "Why is it stagnant?"

"The cultivation after the Heavenly Extreme Realm does not change significantly."

"Since you can break through the first complete martial arts, and even control the second, third, and fourth complete martial arts, it proves there are no issues with your cultivation."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Junior is puzzled because my martial arts cultivation is stagnant due to my inability to control the fifth martial arts."

"I have already reached over 99% control over the fifth martial arts, just a final trace away from complete mastery."

"But just at this last trace, when I try to absorb it from the heavens and earth, I'm instantly overwhelmed by the pressure from the heavens, causing extreme discomfort."

"The more I forcefully try to absorb, the more immense the pressure becomes, forcing me to give up."

Senior Luoo nodded slightly and said, "Martial artists attempting to control complete martial arts, the pressure of heavens descends immediately."

"There's only one reason."

"It's because the martial arts you intend to fully control are incompatible with the martial arts inherent in you."

"You need to understand, the cultivation after the Heavenly Extreme Realm involves drawing martial arts power from the heavens and earth to achieve completeness in martial arts."

"Yet the martial arts you are absorbing are conflicting with your inherent self, not aligning with heaven and earth rules, equivalent to defying the heavens."

"All things under heaven and earth follow the Heavenly Dao."

"In defying the heavens, naturally the pressure descends, preventing you from fully mastering the fifth martial arts."

"Defying the heavens?" Xiao Yi was startled.

Senior Luoo smiled slightly and said, "I am just pointing out the reason for your failure."

"It's not actually anything severe."

"Have you brought your entry dossier?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, took out the dossier, and handed it to Senior Luoo.

The entry dossier records the information of each entry disciple.

Senior Luoo took the dossier, glanced at it quickly, then nodded and set it aside.

"I see."

"The martial arts you control, the first one, is the Domineering Sword Technique."

"This is very clever; Sword Dao is the purest, plus it ranks among the top martial arts, capable of accommodating future complete martial arts."

"Your second complete martial arts is Ice Sword Dao."

"However, your third and fourth complete martial arts are not recorded here."

"The record shows you possess Star Illusion Swordsmanship, have you fully mastered a complete Star Illusion Swordsmanship?"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Were you trying to integrate into the Small World, to fully master the fifth complete martial arts, was it Star Illusion Swordsmanship?" Senior Luoo asked.

Xiao Yi frowned, it was not actually the case, but he nodded.

"That explains it." The tone of Senior Luoo was always very light.

"Star Illusion Swordsmanship ranks among top martial arts, same level as your Ice Sword Dao."

Xiao Yi asked doubtfully, "This is also one of the martial arts doubts Junior wishes to ask."

"Between top martial arts, whether mutual compatibility becomes extremely hard, causing Junior's failure to harmonize their martial arts?"

Senior Luoo shook his head and said, "Don't rush."

"You are already in possession of Domineering Sword Technique and Ice Sword Dao."

"The complete martial arts afterwards naturally need to connect with them to fully harmonize."

"The complete martial arts you control later, indeed the more top-level they are, the greater the difficulty becomes."

"But the true reason for your failure is not here."

"What is it?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

"You are setting up obstacles for yourself." Senior Luoo answered.

"Let me ask you, regarding the two top sword Dao you possess, Ice Sword Dao and Star Illusion Swordsmanship."

"You control them simultaneously, but did they give different benefits?"

"Naturally, they did." Xiao Yi replied, "The two sword Dao equally allow Junior's combat capability to far exceed other martial artists."

"Along the way, with the help of these two sword Dao, I managed to overcome obstacles."

Senior Luoo smiled, "Perhaps, let me ask it this way."

"The two sword Dao, if you lack one, would it affect you?"

"I am asking purely regarding martial arts, unrelated to cultivation and various techniques."

"Would it affect you?" Xiao Yi pondered.

Senior Luoo did not give Xiao Yi time to think but directly asked, "For instance, during combat."

"Missing one martial arts would it influence your combat capability?"

"Listen carefully, this does not count martial techniques and methods, only martial arts."

This time, Xiao Yi did not think, and directly answered, "No."

In fact, both being top martial arts, Ice Sword Dao and Star Illusion Swordsmanship do not have significant differences in strength.

The reason most of his battles now use Star Illusion Swordsmanship is because it possesses methods to manipulate starlight and powerful sword skills like Star Illusion Sword Formation.

If Ice Sword Dao had matching methods and martial techniques, it would be no lesser than Star Illusion Swordsmanship.

However, even if Ice Sword Dao has such powerful methods, between it and Star Illusion Swordsmanship, one is sufficient.

If lacking one would cause great impact on one's own strength, not really.

"That's it." Senior Luoo said with a gentle smile.

"Since it doesn't affect, it cannot assist you, why make difficulties for yourself?"

"It is not impossible for compatibility between top martial arts, it is just extremely difficult, even harder than breaking through the Saint King Realm, no, this difficulty might be even higher."

"Since this is the case, why forcefully absorb Star Illusion Swordsmanship to completeness?"

"But..." Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Shouldn't the martial arts controlled by martial artists be stronger the better?"

"To take a step back, the stronger the martial arts, the greater the increase in power for the domain."

Senior Luoo shook his head slightly, "Even if you are truly extraordinarily talented, supreme among monsters, any difficulty becomes a joke in your eyes."

"You can completely master these top martial arts."

"But." Senior Luoo suddenly emphasized, "If mastered yet unable to execute, cannot be utilized, what use is it?"

As he spoke, Senior Luoo tapped lightly with his finger.

Beside, a strand of starlight river drifted out.

"You are walking the Ice Sword Dao, can you see any difference now?" Senior Luoo asked quietly.
