Chapter 006: Wang Yangming and the Scripture of Divine Illumination

Xu Zhenren asked Wang Yangming about the Dao

Wang Yangming looked at Xu Lang in surprise, feeling that suddenly, Xu Lang had become much more enthusiastic towards him.

Brother Xu

The creator of this martial art is Wang Yangming

Xu Lang sat at the table, facing Wang Yangming and Master Xu, and did not hold back in his words. He clearly recounted the sequence of meridian circulation for the innate skill, allowing Master Xu to adjust and direct his energy, thereby providing guidance to elevate the martial arts level of the innate skill

Mastering the Divine Illumination Sutra renders one unmatched in the world

Every character is pressed into the wall by an inch, without a single deviation, and not a speck of dust has fallen on the wall; the inscriptions are entirely imprinted with force!

During the process, Xu Lang felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, as if water was flowing smoothly. Once this energy was gathered at the cloud gate, there was a faint sensation of pulsation from the cloud gate.

Master

Xu Lang nodded beside him. This innate skill was originally an orange-level internal skill, but due to the incomplete scroll, what he learned was only at the purple level. Moreover, advancing the innate skill could not be achieved through the usual method of leveling up.

After Xu Zhenren attempted to circulate his innate energy for a full cycle, he opened his eyes and sighed, saying

Master Xu inquired about the Dao

Xu Zhenren no longer insisted, saying: "It is dense and intricate; attempting to probe with true energy would likely be difficult."

I did not receive the grand gift pack of the Golden Snake Secret Manual, but by a stroke of luck, I accidentally obtained the grand gift pack of the Complete Reality Martial Arts

Merely a first-level incomplete innate skill, yet the accumulated internal energy far surpassed Xu Lang's foundational practice

Originally, Xu Lang and Wang Yangming were merely acquaintances, destined to part ways after a brief companionship. However, now, Xu Lang regards Wang Yangming as a brother

Xu Lang looked at Wang Yangming and spoke

And now, although the innate skill is incomplete, having transitioned from the original orange internal energy to the purple internal energy, it is still an innate skill, which naturally possesses immense power. With such internal energy, Xu Lang will be able to support various techniques in the future

The perils and obstacles do not linger in my heart, how are they different from fleeting clouds passing through the vast sky

Xu Lang sat silently beside him, quietly incorporating Wang Yangming's internal martial arts techniques into the system, and then discreetly adjusting it, changing the internal martial arts auto-training to innate skills

Xu Lang's voice is filled with genuine emotion and sincerity

The purple unnamed internal skill has been acquired

A good name, a good ambition

A true energy emanates from the crown of the head, traversing the twelve divergent meridians, and subsequently connecting to the twelve primary meridians throughout the body. It first rises from the Yongquan point, then ascends from the feet to the upper torso, reaching both arms, flows back through the arms, and ultimately converges at the Yunmen point.

Wang Yangming, accompanied by Xu Lang, ultimately did not want Xu Lang to side with Liu Jin. Throughout this journey, he was shaping Xu Lang's worldview. However, he ultimately had to head to Guizhou and could not always take Xu Lang with him. Now that Xu Lang has learned the martial arts of Master Xu, Wang Yangming has found a place to leave Xu Lang.

Shouren, have you gained anything?

Xu Zhenren extended his hand to help Xu Lang up and said, "At my age, I have only a few days left to live. It is truly gratifying to have a disciple like you before I pass away..."

Wang Yangming rose and extended his finger to write on the wall

Brother Wang possesses extraordinary talent and is surely capable of comprehending the truths that previous generations have not realized, thus becoming a sage of this era

Xu Lang was shocked and silently examined the system panel, noticing that the unnamed purple internal skill had indeed transformed into the Divine Illumination Sutra

I can allow you to listen in, and naturally, I am not afraid of you learning my skills. However, I, along with Shouren, have carefully discussed and still do not understand the secret; how did you manage to uncover it?

Then Xu Lang opened his eyes and felt that although there was only one candle in the room, everything was bright and clear.

It is uncertain how much of the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect has been preserved in the lineage of the Longmen School over the years

The Sutra of Divine Illumination

Does your method have a name

The esteemed person praised and said with a smile

This martial art is undoubtedly an orange level, but at present, Wang Yangming has not fully comprehended it, thus it is merely at a purple level... Therefore, once Wang Yangming attains enlightenment at Longchang, this martial art will surely reach its full potential, and by that time, the Shenzhao Sutra will be the complete version

Wang Yangming smiled in the same manner, openly expressing the ideals in his heart, allowing him to feel that all the gloom he had been experiencing recently completely dissipated. Even though the journey to Guizhou was long and perilous, Wang Yangming was now able to face it all with composure.

Xu Lang became a disciple of Master Xu, who shaped Xu Lang's worldview. Thus, even if Xu Lang does not become a person of righteousness, at the very least, he will not be an accomplice to Liu Jin, and that great treasure will not fall into Liu Jin's hands

Wang Yangming, upon hearing this, pondered carefully for a while, then shook his head and said: "Although my internal cultivation originates from the innate skill, it is in fact more rooted in Confucian principles, which are methods of self-cultivation. It is likely that only when I have thoroughly comprehended the teachings of Confucianism will this internal skill be able to reach its full potential. For now, I can only reference the operation of the innate skill; I cannot force it."

Good, good

Xu Zhenren was beaming with joy as he reached out to grasp Xu Lang's wrist. This sudden grip caused Xu Lang's internal energy to flow naturally around his body, momentarily dulling his hand.

Xu Lang looked at Master Xu, who was smiling at him. Feeling reassured, he did not hesitate and directly knelt down to serve tea, formally requesting to be accepted as a disciple and to learn the craft.

The night is tranquil, with the sea waves stretching for thirty thousand miles, as the moonlight descends, casting silver down with the heavenly wind

The virtuous of utmost sincerity, uniquely illuminating and divine.

In the course of conversation, Wang Yangming unreservedly shared the inner principles he had comprehended and the reasoning he relied upon with Master Xu.

Truly worthy of being an innate skill

This is the martial arts within the "Liancheng Jue" that can traverse the world, to the extent that even if Di Yun is completely dead, he can still be brought back by the "Shenzhao Jing".

Wang Yangming suddenly shouted beside him: "You have just begun to engage with martial arts, and it is precisely the time when you lack the guidance of a renowned master. Now that you have learned the innate skills, it is also a matter of opportunity. You might as well take Master Xu as your teacher. This way, you will receive Master Xu's guidance, which will not only prevent the Dragon Gate martial arts from being disseminated outside but also greatly benefit your progress. What do you think?"

Xu Lang, upon hearing this, stood up and bowed, his tone filled with apology as he said: "I, a mere youth, have inexplicably and muddledly learned the long-lost secrets of the true masters..." Although he spoke in such a manner, Xu Lang was indeed very pleased in his heart

However, with the guidance of this real person, the level of martial arts can achieve considerable improvement

In "The Sword of the Blood and the Sword", Yuan Chengzhi is invincible, which is certainly due to the peculiar techniques of the Golden Snake Secret Manual that allow him to employ alternative moves in times of crisis. However, what truly supports him is the Huashan Hunyuan Gong. Yuan Chengzhi's diligent study and hard training have elevated his internal power beyond that of ordinary people, endowing each of his moves with tremendous power

Unfortunately, this internal energy cannot be fully activated, and a significant portion of its power remains untapped

Xu Zhenren looked at Xu Lang and repeatedly praised him

Very good

Wang Yangming stated: "Unfortunately, the current Confucians are merely scholars of the examination system, lacking teachings on the body and mind. My practice of all this is aimed at becoming a sage myself. I have long conceived of the name for this method, which I shall call the Scripture of Divine Illumination"
