Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 580 Using a Pretense to Cultivate Truth
Yaro did not believe that a formal knight could be immune to the negative effects of 'Martial Arts Essence'.

Even if a formal knight possesses a life force seed, can he suppress the nourishing effect of life force on the body?
Does that mean you can control the involuntary muscles in your body?

If one cannot comprehend the true meaning of martial arts and does not generate the corresponding emotions, the "Heaven-Mending Technique" is essentially incomplete, and it will be impossible to maintain a normal cycle.

The sole function of the life force seed is to rapidly draw in life force when the major circulation of meridians collapses, thereby mitigating the negative effects of life force.

Of course, Claire knows the true meaning of martial arts, which is not without its advantages compared to others.

He doesn't need to limit himself to cultivating the "Heaven-Mending Technique" using the "True Meaning of Mending Heaven." He can use other methods to cultivate a sense of open-mindedness, or even constantly recall things that make him feel open-minded.

It may not be as effective as being truly 'open-minded', but it should have some effect.

But this is like scratching an itch through a boot; you can get a basic understanding, but it's difficult to truly master it.

With that effort, you might as well directly practice the "Body Technique" from the Eight Extremes Method.

After pondering for a long time, Yaro slowly said, "You should know that I haven't fully deduced the Eight Extremes Method yet, right?"

"Lord Yarrow, I'm willing to wait!"

“This isn’t a matter of waiting,” Yaro shook his head. “The reason we’ve deduced the two key words of the Eight Extremes Method is based on the knowledge we’ve accumulated before. Just like the ‘Blood Word Technique’ originated from ‘Blood Frenzy,’ the ‘Swallowing Word Technique’ also originated from another technique I had mastered before…”

Yaro recounted the story of his skill points in a different way.

Then he continued:
"Although I have already figured out the theoretical knowledge of the Eight Extremes Method, the gap between theory and practice is huge. Just like now, you have roughly looked through the theoretical knowledge of the Eight Extremes Method. Are you confident that you can deduce the rest of the Eight Extremes Method?"

Claire shook her head silently.

Yaro said, “Yes, I know you can’t do it, and neither can I.”

Since each type of word technique requires a corresponding secret skill, don't think too much about it for now. Let's go to the underground base first, and you can learn the 'Swallowing Word Technique' and 'Blood Word Technique' from the 'Eight Extremes Method'.

"Once I find the right secret technique and perfect the Eight Extremes Method, you'll be able to save time and skip the preliminary steps to learn it directly."

"Lord Yaro, the preliminary steps you mentioned refer to opening the dantian, right?"

Claire paused for a moment, and before Yaro could respond, she continued, "I've already opened it up, so I don't need to learn the Eight Extremes Method anymore, right?"

"Father, you've already opened up your dantian?" Bevan asked in surprise.

Claire explained, "I already know a fair bit about the human body."

Of the three acupoints marked in the dantian, two are located on the surface of the body. The life force seed can easily flow to the vicinity of those two acupoints and then be slowly adjusted according to needs.

After locating the next acupoint, it becomes much easier to find, given the locations of the two acupoints.

Yaro nodded understandingly: "No wonder you look so pale today. I thought it was because you didn't rest last night. It turns out you opened your dantian."

"Having a seed of life force, it's not difficult to open up the dantian using internal energy techniques, but for you to open it so quickly truly makes you a martial arts genius. No wonder you were able to awaken your seed of life force on your own."

Once the dantian is opened, it is necessary to continuously replenish the muscle tissue within the dantian with vital energy, while simultaneously plugging any deficiencies.

Simply put, it means nourishing and warming the dantian.

“Lord Yaro, haven’t you also opened your dantian? I only managed to open mine with the help of the Life Force Seed. In front of you, I dare not call myself a ‘martial arts genius’.” Claire bowed her head humbly.

"Teacher, you've also opened your dantian?" Bevin asked, his face full of shock. Yaro glanced back and said calmly, "I wrote the entire 'Eight Extremes Method.' I practice regularly and know all the details. I can also perform those movements. It's normal for me to spend a few hours opening my dantian using external martial arts techniques."

Is that normal?
Is that normal?

Bevin looked at the densely written notebook in his hand with self-doubt.

Yaro looked at Claire again and asked, "What are you thinking?"

“Lord Yarrow, now that I have opened my dantian, there is no need to practice the Eight Extremes Technique anymore. I want to go to Perrin Manor, to the bottom of the valley, and personally walk the path described in Claire’s autobiography,” Claire said.

Yaro frowned slightly: "You should know that's just a story."

“After I went through it, that was your prophecy,” Claire said respectfully.

It took Yaro a moment to understand what Claire meant.

"Using the false to cultivate the true?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Lord Yarrow," Claire exclaimed in admiration.

Yaro added, "I originally wanted the wizards in the new district of Lan'er Village to help prepare those stone inscriptions mentioned in the book, but there's nothing there yet."

“I can carve it by hand at a similar speed, and this process will also allow me to better understand the ‘true meaning of mending the sky’,” Claire said sincerely.

Claire now seems to still believe in the 'true meaning of mending the sky', just like Bialo did.

In Yarrow's eyes, the true meaning of "mending the sky" is a magnanimous emotion.

According to Claire's account, in his eyes, the true meaning of "mending the sky" is indeed "mending the sky," which means to understand the meaning of "I mend the sky with my own heart."

It has a similar artistic conception to the difference between "seeing a mountain as a mountain" and "seeing a mountain as not a mountain".

Yaro didn't know whether these two artistic conceptions were better or worse.

But Claire's attitude and actions did indeed align with Yaro's interests.

Claire believes that those he trains in the future will have even greater faith.

Claire retraced the steps of writing "Claire's Autobiography" and personally refined the details, which strengthened the authenticity of "The Old Man Who Mending the Sky" and also had a positive effect on the dissemination of martial arts.

“But the ‘Heaven-Mending Technique’ hasn’t been deduced yet. Even if you go, you’ll just be wasting your time…” Yaro said hesitantly.

"If you can deduce the 'Heaven-Mending Technique' in the near future, I will take this time to carve the stone tablet and comprehend the 'true meaning of mending the heavens'; if you still cannot, then you will be unable to perfect the 'Heaven-Mending Technique'..."

Claire paused, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then I will become the 'Heaven-Mending Elder.' I will dedicate my life to deducing the 'Heaven-Mending Technique,' and wait for the arrival of the next 'Claire'!"

Yaro shook his head slightly: "There's no need to exaggerate like that."

If Claire were really asked to perform the deduction, Yarrow truly believed that it would take him a lifetime to complete it... and he might not even be able to.

But if Aro were to do it...
