Chapter 185 - 184: Outdoor Scene
“Don’t think I can’t see it, you all have tried to practice the martial arts secret techniques I passed on.”
“If traditional martial artists truly live short lives, only able to survive until thirty, then how do I explain, and how do you all explain? All of you are in your thirties, according to the Heavenly Lords, wouldn’t it be death as soon as one practices the old martial arts secret techniques?”
“You all have also noticed that practicing old martial arts not only does not shorten life but can extend it! And there’s no blood-lust urge!”
“Actually, you all have doubts in your hearts, just afraid to voice them!”
Although Bu Jing was at a disadvantage, he never stopped talking, wanting to clear the reputation of the old martial artists, they were absolutely not what the Heavenly Lords claimed them to be!
When Bu Jing said these words, his voice was incredibly loud, allowing the spectators who were watching outside the city to hear clearly.
Everyone was astounded, a martial artist surnamed Bai and another surnamed Jiang, both who are grandmasters, were especially shocked, their expressions extremely exaggerated.
“What! Even the Pinnacle Humans think there’s a problem with the martial arts techniques issued by the Heavenly Lord?” The grandmaster martial artist surnamed Bai yelled out.
“What! Old martial arts can extend life! And there’s no blood-lust urge!” The grandmaster martial artist surnamed Jiang yelled out.
Seeing the situation become chaotic, Yu Yin felt like blocking everyone’s mouths.
Normally, one shouldn’t speak too loud during a fight, making it easy for opponents to seize an opportunity to counterattack, but Bu Jing still did so, and the four opponents did not counterattack.
The Grandmaster martial artists could not perceive it, but as Pinnacle Humans, even if they did not know what the traditional martial arts secret techniques looked like, they had some inkling that something was wrong with the techniques issued by the Heavenly Lords.
This was the intuition of a top-notch martial artist, they instinctively felt there was something wrong with the secret martial arts techniques they practiced all their life.
But they dared not say it, neither could they say it.
They had the emperor’s parasites within their bodies, and the moment the emperor sensed anything amiss, he could control their bodies through the parasites, holding their lives and deaths at his whim.
They consoled themselves by saying that the Heavenly Lords did not lie, indeed, one’s life span would be shorter when practicing the traditional martial arts secret techniques, and the current martial arts secret techniques are an improved version.
But logically, since there are issues with the martial arts technique, it could only be improved, not resolved, why not just not practice them? Why would the Heavenly Lords demand everyone to practice them?
Because of their fear of the terrifying Heavenly Lords, they could only pretend to know nothing.
“I have a way to deal with the parasites inside your bodies.” Bu Jing said nonchalantly, “I have a secret method that can silently kill the parasites.” Bu Jing’s secret method was to seek Jiang Li’s help.
The Pinnacle Humans from the court had their pupils slightly widened.
Even if they could break free from the control of the parasites, they would have to face the pressure of the Twelve Heavenly Lords.
They were just martial artists, how could they possibly defeat the Heavenly Lords of the Upper Realm?
As far as they knew, the Emperor had a way to contact the Heavenly Lords, who might descend to the mortal realm at any time, and when the Heavenly Lords find out about their betrayal, they would undoubtedly die!
While they were fighting close to Bu Jing, they asked in low voices: “What will you do if the Heavenly Lords descend?”
Such good news, definitely making them can’t return. Bu Jing originally wanted to say this.
But Jiang Li warned, not to frighten the enemy and alert them. If the Heavenly Lords know they were waiting for them here, they definitely wouldn’t dare to show up, they’d act like scaredy-cats.
“Breakthrough the Pinnacle Humans, reach the same realm as the Heavenly Lords.” When Bu Jing said this, his voice didn’t fluctuate, yet made people feel a kind of domineering aura from their bones.
“Nonsense.” The Lord of Qingming tower shook his head.
“Don’t believe it?” Bu Jing smiled faintly, taking a step forward, his seven hundred and twenty major orifices opened up, emitting a faint glow, as if like the stars.
Bu Jing’s momentum kept soaring, the inner and outer scenes converged, gathered in his Dantian, an unparalleled momentum burst forth from his rugged body, as if heaven and earth were trembling for it!
It’s hard to imagine such a small body containing such a tremendous force!
“Is this…” The Pinnacle Humans present all gave birth to an absurd idea in their hearts, but dared not to confirm it.
This is beyond comprehension.
Bu Jing dispensed a punch casually, like an ancient brutal bull raging and rampaging ferociously, blasting half of a mountain away. No other human could deliver such a powerful blow!
However, it was just a casual strike from Bu Jing.
Bu Jing chuckled and said, “External view, I name this realm as external view.”
He could easily break through the human limit at any moment. However, he hadn’t done so, as he wanted to probe the opinions of those at the peak of humanity towards the Sky King.
Now it seems, they also doubt the Sky King.
If that’s the case, they are in the same boat.
They all have enormous influences in the martial arts world. If they could be persuaded, more people could be led to believe that there are problems with the martial arts scripture of the Sky King, and that the Sky King is an invader.
After becoming an external view martial artist, Bu Jing truly realized the power that lay beyond the peak, acquiring such a force. No wonder his father was defenseless against the Sky King. Bu Jing sighed that the gap between external view and the peak of humanity was too vast.
Under the external view, all disputes seem meaningless. The group of six ceased fighting.
“This is called ‘The Upper Realm External View Scripture’. It can help you break through the human peak, and reach the external view.” Bu Jing took out a book from his robe. On the front cover, the words ‘The Upper Realm External View Scripture’ were boldly inscribed, making a strong impression.
“Tower Lord of Azure Abyss, you want to extend your life, right? Breaking through the external view can add a hundred years to your lifespan.”
“Sage of the Fishing Cottage, you want secret martial arts scripts, don’t you? Is this ‘Upper Realm External View Scripture’ to your liking?”
“Mr. Lan, after breaking through the external view, I will tell you about the prospering martial world from three hundred years ago. How about that?”
Bu Jing then turned to the three men dressed in red official robes and said, “In this way, there will be seven people in the external realm. Though it’s uncertain if we can defeat the Sky King, we can at least protect ourselves. Do you want to live out your remaining years humbly, waiting for your big four-oh, or do you want to break through into the external view and live for another hundred years?”
Bu Jing’s words were quite conservative. It is impossible for an external view martial artist to only live a hundred years longer than those at the human peak. However, Bu Jing, who had just broken into this realm, didn’t know how long he would live. So, according to his experience, he stated that it might add a hundred years to their lifespans.
The temptation given by Bu Jing was too great. The three of them had no reason to refuse. They accepted his scriptures, clearly recognizing the supremacy of this scripture for breaking into the external view. They then bowed respectfully to Bu Jing.
The other three also accepted the scripture and respectfully bowed to Bu Jing.
With sincere hearts, all six of them shouted in unison, “Hail to the master of
Sword Dao!”
Their voices were full of vitality. The spectators in the distance could hear every word clearly.
The master of Sword Dao, it was a title that Bu Jing deserved.
He was not only the first external view powerhouse but also the teacher for all the external view powerhouses of future generations!
‘The Upper Realm External View Scripture’ was not strictly a martial arts scripture in the conventional sense but rather an enlightenment scripture to help those at the summit of humanity to break through to the external view. After breaking through to the external view, they could continue to practice their own martial arts scriptures without any hindrance.
Given some time and continuous breakthroughs, Bu Jing could truly achieve what was described in ‘The Four Pillars supporting Heaven’ – his movements could turn rivers upside down and terrestrials upside down.
Writing scripture effortlessly, Bu Jing could easily break through to the external view without needing further insights. However, these six needed some time to comprehend and reflect before they could break through.
Using his finger as a sword, Jiang Li released the Heart Sword, and silently killed the bugs within the three human peak red-robed individuals.
Bugs presented no threat to Jiang Li. Naturally, these bugs, which were weaker than the Gu bugs, were resolved with a single sword strike.
Jiang Li only knew the Heart Sword technique, standing out among all other sword techniques and commanding respect, even from the likes of Bai Hongtu and the Sword Monarch.
A sudden shock hit the three men. The suffocating pressure inside their chests dissipated. When they looked within themselves, they found that the bugs that disgusted them had disappeared. They looked again at Bu Jing’s inscrutable smile and respected him even more.
Bu Jing didn’t know the reason for their change in attitude, but it didn’t matter. Maintaining a smile was always the right thing to do..
