A glass of sake was brought down his throat, but Kong Nianzhi was unable to calm down.
There was no way to meditate and cultivate in this state. Forcing it would only be twice the effort and half the result. It was even possible that he would cultivate a fork and damage his meridians. Even if Kong Nianzhi could use omniscience to resist this drawback, he did not force it.
At times like this, admiring the moon was a good way to lighten one's mood. The cold moonlight and the endless starry sky could always calm Kong Nianzhi down.
When Kong Nian reached the roof, she realized that someone had occupied the place before her. It was Second Uncle Wei Zhuang.
Kong Nianzhi didn't say anything. He went to Wei Manor and lay down, looking at the crescent moon in the sky.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Wei Zhuang's hoarse and magnetic voice rang out,""Brother Kong, what do you think the essence of martial arts is?”
Kong Nianzhi's eyes snapped back to reality, and she said after some thought,""I believe that learning martial arts is just to unearth the hidden strength of the body.”
Wei Zhuang tilted his head and looked at Kong Nianzhi with interest.""Why would you say that?"
"The realms of this martial art are divided into, from low to high, unranked, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, super, top-notch, and peerless.”
"I know all this. Tell me something I don't know.”
Kong Nianzhi did not mind Wei Zhuang's cold words. After all, Second Uncle Wei was such a person. He smiled and continued,"Starting from a super expert is the beginning of digging out the hidden power. The most obvious evidence is the release of inner Qi. When he circulated his internal energy, he could see his internal energy circulating around his body. It could even affect the surrounding environment. Some of them could even turn into elemental attacks that could be seen with the naked eye, such as scorching flames and bone-piercing ice.”
"What an interesting statement. Is there any basis for it?”Wei Zhuang frowned and pondered Kong Nianzhi's words for a moment before continuing to ask.
Kong Nianzhi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he asked,""Wei Zhuang, do you believe in ancient myths?”
"Ancient myths? What did this have to do with the nature of martial arts?”
" I believe in ancient myths!" Kong Nianzhi looked at Wei Zhuang with a determined gaze and said,""In ancient times, due to the harsh living environment, natural disasters and disasters continued. This world was as dangerous as hell, so every human had powerful strength.”
"Interesting. According to what you said, Hou Yi shot the sun, Nuwa mended the sky, and Kuafu chased the sun.”
" These people are just deified. The most outstanding ancient humans are the legendary gods. I don't believe that they are real gods. They are just humans who have reached a certain level of strength. However, it was a fact that Yu the Great controlled the flood and Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams.”
Kong Nianzhi grabbed at the sky and continued,"" After countless years of evolution, this world no longer has the natural disasters of that time. The living environment has been continuously optimized, and humans have also learned to use tools to live, so they no longer need that powerful power. In the countless generations of reproduction, this power has been continuously hidden, buried deep in the deepest part of the body. I believe that the so-called talented people only have the appearance of returning to their ancestors, so they can easily take back the power that originally belonged to them.”
"Interesting. Anything else?" Wei Zhuang thought deeply for a while and realized that what Kong Nianzhi said made sense. He could not find any flaws in it.
"Ordinary people have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Moreover, due to physical fitness, these five senses are all restricted to a very serious degree.”
" The so-called third-rate experts, second-rate experts, and first-rate experts are the process of continuously developing their five senses. First-rate experts can probably develop thirty percent of their five senses, and when they reach the realm of super experts, they can completely grasp their five senses and develop their sixth sense! Wei Zhuang, you should have experienced this.”
Wei Zhuang softly hummed, indicating that it was indeed so.
"When you reach the realm of a super expert, you can be called a land god. Picking flowers and flying leaves, fighting against a hundred people, it's an easy thing. Unless you exhaust your strength, it's impossible for such an expert to be killed by ordinary people.”
" As for the realm of the top experts, I have a deep understanding of it. When you reach this realm, you are also called a celestial being. You have developed the seventh sense and the super sense. You have a deep perception of everything in the world. You can deeply feel the origin of the universe and have the great wisdom to see through the essence and cause of things. This realm is called the " Heaven-man Connection " in Taoism. Those monks who come to the Central Plains call it the " Mo-na-shi ".”
" I can't pry into the realm of this peerless expert with my cultivation level, but I heard from my master, Beiming Zi, that peerless experts will open up their eighth sense, which is what we Taoists call 'the unity of heaven and man'. Those monks call it' Alaya consciousness'.”
" At this realm, one is also called a god. The body is full of myriad phenomena and resonates with the universe from afar. It has completely reached the supreme realm of 'all things are me, and I am all things.' Legend has it that the most perfect eighth sense can live as long as heaven and earth, immortal and indestructible. It is also known by our Taoists as the Immortal Ascension.”
" As far as I know, only my master Beiming Zi, your master Guigu 'zi, and Xun Zi of the scholarly faction can be confirmed to be peerless experts. Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School has hidden himself too deeply, so I can't be sure that he's a peerless expert. As for whether there are any hidden peerless experts, I really don't know.”
"Interesting. There are indeed some things that I don't know about, and my master doesn't know either.”The corner of Wei Zhuang's mouth curled up slightly, and he disappeared from the roof.
Kong Nianzhi snorted in satisfaction. Nonsense, the information explosion in the world two thousand years later was naturally mixed with Kong Nianzhi's own understanding.
Moreover, Second Uncle Wei had just laughed!
This was truly a terrifying matter.
Kong Nianzhi shuddered and jumped down from the roof. The morning sun had risen, and a new day had begun.
