Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 13 Grandmaster's Secret
The small courtyard is still quiet and cool.

Returning to his yard, Jiang Chen looked at the two mice that were in much better spirits and the peach tree that had not changed at all. He closed the gate and sat on the stone bench under the peach tree.

"Mysterious Killing Finger."

While brewing tea on a small stove, Jiang Chen began to study this martial art carefully.

For most practitioners, martial arts are actually not something that can be put on the table, including his predecessor Jiang Wang. Apart from the Heart-Destroying Palm that he comprehended on his own, he did not practice other martial arts. It was not because he could not access them or could not learn them, but because he disdained them.

Of course, there is actually nothing wrong with this. After all, a practitioner's time and energy are limited. Instead of being distracted by martial arts, it is better to concentrate on practicing and refining the body. As long as one can break through the Qi training, everything will not be a problem, because no matter how good the martial arts are, they cannot withstand the spells of the Qi training monks.

But for Jiang Chen, he doesn't care about these. In the doomsday, being picky is not a good habit. As long as it can be used, it can be used. As far as the moment is concerned, Jiang Chen thinks martial arts are still quite useful. At least it can be used as a conventional means to make up for the shortcomings of other means.

The most important thing is that in his opinion, practicing a martial art does not actually take too much time, and the cost is within an acceptable range.

The tea aroma was lingering. After refilling the tea, Jiang Chen put down the secret book in his hand.

The next moment, he leaped up, and with his fingers like swords, he started practicing directly in the yard.

If the Heart-Destroying Palm focuses on femininity, then the Mysterious Killing Finger focuses on the concentration of strength. When practiced to the extreme, it can concentrate most of the warrior's strength at one point, breaking the surface with a point and defeating the strong with the weak. It is also quite impressive among first-class martial arts.

As time passed, Jiang Chen became more and more proficient in mastering the Xuan Sha Finger and was able to truly use it. According to ordinary people's standards, this was a sign of entry, but Jiang Chen was unwilling to stop there.

"The Mysterious Killing Finger has a heavy killing power, and it has a desperate determination. Perhaps I can incorporate the fighting skills I learned in Doomsday into it."

"Although these fighting techniques are not as systematic as those martial arts, they are truly honed through repeated life-and-death experiences."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiang Chen naturally began to try without any hesitation.

At this point, Jiang Chen's Xuan Sha Finger, which he had already mastered, suddenly became chaotic and no longer had any rules. However, Jiang Chen did not care about it. He continued to practice on his own, almost like a madman.

In this way, time slipped away silently.

And when the sun set below the horizon and day and night changed, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea and integrated the murderous intent he had comprehended into the Mysterious Killing Finger.

"kill!"

With murderous intent bursting out in his heart, Jiang Chen naturally pointed a finger at the trunk of the peach wood like a swordsman drawing his sword.

At this moment, a touch of spiritual energy from heaven and earth was aroused, blending with the murderous intent, turning into scarlet energy that gathered at Jiang Chen's fingertips, endowing it with a mysterious magic that allowed it to fundamentally surpass ordinary martial arts.

Buzz, the killing intent was silent, the murderous aura was invisible. Before Jiang Chen's mysterious killing finger really fell, the standing peach tree seemed to have suffered some kind of destruction, and its originally vigorous vitality began to decline rapidly.

It can be predicted that as Jiang Chen's Xuan Sha Finger falls, with the erosion of murderous intent, the peach tree will be killed fundamentally and will no longer have any life.

But at this moment, a different kind of vitality began to surge from the peach tree's body. Feeling the vastness of this vitality, it was like a thirsty person finally encountering a sweet rain. The peach tree almost instinctively began to absorb it frantically, hoping to use this vitality to make up for the damage caused by the murderous intent. This was life's redemption. And at the moment when Jiang Chen's fingertips truly touched the main trunk of the peach tree, Jiang Chen finally broke free of that nearly crazy state and returned to consciousness.

"I never thought that the killing intent I realized in Doomsday could collide with the Mysterious Killing Finger to create such sparks."

"After the first-rate martial arts in this world, there is the Grandmaster realm, which is the realm that Tie Ren Tu has been pursuing. The Grandmaster emphasizes divine will. Perhaps the killing intent I have comprehended is also a kind of divine will."

The scarlet in his eyes dissipated, leaving a small mark on the trunk of the peach wood without damaging its roots. Jiang Chen dispersed his strength, and the peach wood luckily escaped the disaster.

"I used to think it was difficult for plants to absorb the power of blood and energy. Now it seems that I just didn't find the right method. This time it can be regarded as an accidental discovery."

All the insights settled in his heart, and Jiang Chen smiled as he cast his gaze towards the motionless peach wood.

Even ants try to survive, and so do peach trees. Under the threat of death, this peach tree successfully blended with the blood and energy he had watered before. Although the quantity was not large, it was a good start after all, and it was also an unexpected surprise.

After looking at the peach wood, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the bamboo cage beside him. Just when he realized the new Xuan Sha Finger, the killing intention was obvious, and the two mice were also affected to a certain extent.

At this moment, one of the two mice seemed to be stimulated by something. It screamed and banged the bamboo cage almost frantically, trying to escape from it. The other one buried its head deep in the corner and hid in the wall, pretending to be dead. Only the wetness under its body showed that it seemed to have been scared to death.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't pay much attention to it at this time. He had more important things to do.

He found some pen and ink, lit a lamp, and under the moonlight, Jiang Chen wrote down all his insights.

After a moment, Jiang Chen stopped his actions after confirming that everything was correct.

"The Grandmaster possesses divine will, able to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby deriving mysterious powers similar to those of magic. Perhaps this is the greatest secret of the Grandmaster's martial arts."

"I have re-adapted this Mysterious Killing Finger Sutra. Although it is not yet perfect and is only a prototype, it is indeed a master martial art to some extent, because it has integrated the power of killing intent."

Looking at the revised secret book in his hand, Jiang Chen felt quite satisfied.

This time, his comprehension gave him a different feeling. The realm of martial arts master was no longer mysterious to him, and the key to open this door was already in his hands. As long as he accumulated enough, he could naturally step into this realm and achieve the lifelong pursuit of countless warriors.

I have to say that Tie Ren Tu has a good vision and chose a martial art that suits him very well, otherwise he would not have been so successful.

"The divine will of a Grandmaster warrior can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Does this mean that a Grandmaster warrior can also practice cultivation?"

Thinking divergently, Jiang Chen thought of a possibility.

The first step in cultivation is to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper the body. Normal practitioners rely on the natural traction of their spiritual orifices, while grandmasters can forcibly restrain it with divine will. Although the two approaches are different, the final results are similar.

After a moment, Jiang Chen withdrew his thoughts and shook his head. It didn't matter to him whether he could practice to the level of a Grandmaster. After all, he had spiritual acuity. If he was really curious, he could just try it after becoming a Grandmaster. After all, the Grandmaster was not an unattainable realm for him.
