Soul Emperor Martial God

"A difference?" Xiao Yi looked confusedly at the starlight strands in front of him.

The strands of starlight transformed into two flowing lights, the aura of the flowing lights was clearly three types of martial arts power.

The first, continuous and ever-changing, is clearly the Water Martial Way.

The second, pure and sharp, is clearly the Sword Dao.

The third, cold and graceful, is the Snow Martial Dao.

"These are three complete martial ways," Senior Luoo said, lightly moving his fingers once more.

The three martial ways connected closely, entwining layer by layer, distinctly separated.

Senior Luoo moved his fingers again, and within the Starlight River, three martial arts powers floated out once more.

It was the same three martial ways.

But this time, after the three martial ways intertwined, they surprisingly fused, becoming one Ice Sword Dao.

"Senior also masters a complete Ice Sword Dao?" Xiao Yi asked in slight surprise.

Senior Luoo's face darkened, "I asked you what the difference is."

"One is superposition, and one is fusion, they are naturally different," Xiao Yi said instinctively.

The next second, as he took a closer look at the three martial ways fused into one Ice Sword Dao, his expression suddenly changed.

Because, the aura emanating from this Ice Sword Dao now, no, it should be said the martial arts essence emitting from it, was exactly the same as the spear style he had seen Ran Qi use before.

And it also carried the same martial arts essence as when Sikong Yu, Fang Shushu, and others used when crossing the Xuan Lock Chain before.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi frowned tightly, staring directly at that peculiar Ice Sword Dao.

Senior Luoo also furrowed his brows, "This is just a simple martial arts fusion."

"You don't know?"

Xiao Yi shook his head.

Senior Luoo frowned and asked, "You don't have a powerful backing?"

"Or, have you been exploring the martial arts path on your own, relying solely on your own cultivation?"

"Pretty much," Xiao Yi nodded.

"No wonder," Senior Luoo nodded slightly, showing a look of realization.

"No wonder you don't know about martial arts fusion and are still asking such fundamental martial arts questions."

"With martial arts fusion, normally, as long as there's a strong Saint King Realm expert in support, they can instruct you."

"And generally, a martial arts genius wouldn't have the same martial arts questions you did before."

"After they break through the first complete martial path, they would have family seniors guiding them directly towards cultivating in the direction of martial arts fusion."

"Unlike you, taking a divergent path as you are now."

Senior Luoo paused, saying, "Your current cultivation direction is like martial arts superposition."

"The complete martial arts you control seem top-notch, seem powerful, but you cannot make them harmonize perfectly."

"Having them equals having none."

"Martial arts fusion?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"But why doesn't my Ice Sword Dao carry this martial arts fusion essence?"

"Also, this is another question I wish to ask."

"Does martial arts fusion allow one to disregard Heaven and Earth's Power, and even some powerful prohibitions and formation limitations?"

Senior Luoo nodded, "Naturally, it can."

"When a Martial Artist masters the first complete martial path, just by the level of this single martial path, the Martial Artist is not weaker than heaven and earth."

"With the fusion of martial arts, naturally, one can disregard the heaven and earth position."

"However, if it's the full force of Heaven and Earth's Power, probably only a Martial God's position can disregard it."

"Ordinary Martial Artists can only barely resist Heaven and Earth's Power within a small range, perhaps limited to a certain level, naturally disregarding most formations and prohibitions."

"As for your Ice Sword Dao not having the essence of martial arts fusion."

"It's because when you cultivated the Ice Sword Dao, you were already cultivating a complete Ice Sword Dao."

"Instead of cultivating the Water Dao, Snow Martial Dao, and Sword Dao, and then fusing them into the Ice Sword Dao."

"Of course, this is also one reason why the Ice Sword Dao can be ranked as a top-notch Sword Dao, while ordinary Sword Dao is only ranked as first or second class."

"How can martial arts fusion be achieved?" Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, suddenly feeling like many of his previous doubts were instantly dispelled.

"Very simple," Senior Luoo looked at Xiao Yi's expression and smiled satisfactorily.

"Through normal cultivation."

Yet, these last few words from Senior Luoo left Xiao Yi momentarily stunned.

"Normal cultivation?"

"That's right," Senior Luoo nodded, "Normal cultivation, walking a Martial Arts Dao that belongs to you alone."

"For Martial Artists, after the Heavenly Extreme Realm, the reason to pursue martial arts fusion is to tread a Martial Arts Dao belonging to oneself."

"Throughout history, countless Martial Arts Great Powers, countless renowned Martial Arts experts."

"The first thing they leave behind, known to people, is their title."

"This title represents their entire martial arts life, and also signifies a Martial Arts Dao belonging to them alone."

"Like the Martial Artist from whom you received the Star Illusion Inheritance."

"Did he start with the Star Illusion Swordsmanship from the beginning? Even if so, did he possess mastery of Starlight Power and various formidable techniques before truly becoming a Supreme Expert?"

"As far as I know, he started with just the Star Illusion Martial Way."

"Afterwards, he continuously sought on the Martial Arts Dao, creating his own Star Illusion Swordmanship and various overwhelming techniques."

While speaking, Senior Luoo's tone gradually became more solemn.

"You must have heard, the Infinite Realm comes with limitless possibilities."

"In fact, this should be prepared earlier, starting at the Heavenly Extreme Realm."

"The foundation is set at the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and once one truly enters the Infinite Realm, the Martial Artist will fully walk a Martial Dao belonging to them alone."

"Each Martial Artist's Martial Dao is unique."

"A myriad of Martial Artists results in a myriad of Martial Arts Dao belonging to them alone."

"The same applies to you."

Senior Luoo gazed at Xiao Yi, saying gravely, "You are a Sword Dao Practitioner. Based on the records of your achievements on the scroll, you should have a Sword Heart clear and as firm as a rock, a true Heavenly Talent."

"Such a vast Sword Dao, spanning across the heaven and earth, can you say how much you have mastered?"

"What you must do is forge a Sword Dao that belongs to you alone."

"Only this Sword Dao that belongs to you can allow you to cleave through waves and fogs on the long journey of Martial Dao."

"A Sword Dao belonging to oneself," Xiao Yi's eyes gleamed, filled with determination.

"But is there an end?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked.

"There is," Senior Luoo responded without hesitation.

"Either this path of your own Sword Dao will cease progress when you fall in the heavens and earth."

"At that time, it will be the end."

"Or, this path of your own Sword Dao continues under your journey to the end of the martial arts."

"Then it is also an end, but it leads to the position of Martial God."

"Sword Dao is also Martial Dao," Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, "Either breaking in half midway or piercing through the heaven and earth."

"Thank you, Senior, I understand now."

Xiao Yi glanced at the nearly dissipated Starlight River to the side, eyes wide with amazement.

"Senior, there are two final questions."

Second update.
