Chapter 68: The Nature of Martial Arts

The power of heaven and earth moves with the mind, and the movement of every grass and tree is reflected in the mind, and the earth is no longer the only place to stay, but the air is.

Jiang Ming seriously felt the changes in the virtual realm, felt the interaction between the power of heaven and earth and the true element in his body, and every action he made would be rewarded by the power of heaven and earth.

He floated in mid-air, feeling like a mortal walking on the earth, with a small consumption when he was still and a large consumption when he was in the void.

But a large part of this consumption is provided by the power of heaven and earth.

Although he had reached the stage of transformation and could control the power of heaven and earth, these were two completely different feelings.

The Immortal Dao should not be called controlling the heavens and the earth, but should be called communicating the heavens and the earth, understanding the heavens and the earth in a gentle way, every move will cause the outer heavens and the earth to change, causing a series of reactions, and constantly expanding over time, and may even affect the entire world.

But this change is not controllable by itself, and the transformation period can call for wind and rain in a single thought, and move mountains and reclaim the sea, which is both an exaggeration and an accurate description, but these are all limited by external conditions. You can't call the wind when it's silent, you can't call the rain when it's cloudless.

The same is true for moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, you must follow the trajectory of the earth's leylines in order to bury the mountains deep into the ground and then raise the land below the surface of the sea.

However, martial arts do not need to.

In one's own realm, one's will is the heavens, and one's own will is the earth.

No wind can call the wind, no clouds can gather clouds into rain, and if the leylines are not smooth, you can cut off the leylines, and use your own will and strength to forcibly let everything around you fall under your control and conform to your own will.

It's just that all of this requires greater consumption, even if the true qi is enough, the burden on the spirit is also very heavy, and it only takes half an hour to make ten virtual realms exhausted and die.

Although it is too much to compare the Void Realm with the Transformation of Gods, with the same understanding of the power of heaven and earth, the Immortal Dao cultivator can attract stronger power and easily crush the martial arts cultivator.

"It's really strange, it's clear that the control of heaven and earth in martial arts can do more things, but martial arts powerhouses just use this ability to achieve themselves. Jiang Ming muttered to himself.

Ling Xiyue asked: "Martial Dao can do more things than Immortal Dao, didn't you say that Immortal Dao is an endless stream of various strange methods, and Martial Dao is just a single strengthening itself?"

This is the difference between the Immortal Dao and the Martial Dao that Jiang Ming once told her.

Jiang Ming shook his head and said: "This is my previous idea, absolute control of the power of heaven and earth is not as good as following the trend, just like the difference between going up the current and going downstream, but absolute control can do more things, you can adjust your direction at will, and have more ways and means of fighting." ”

This is a huge deviation from his own previous perception, and it is directly reversed.

Ling Xiyue thought for a while and guessed: "Could it be that this is the case, because the Immortal Dao can only control the heaven and the earth, so in order to make up for his weaknesses, he has developed various different immortal techniques and refined all kinds of strange magic weapons, just to make up for his own shortcomings." Martial arts are the same, there are more changes, but the strength is insufficient, so they focus on strengthening themselves. ”

"In order to make up for your weaknesses?" Jiang Ming didn't expect to have this idea.

Ling Xiyue was very excited: "We just want to make ourselves strong for various reasons, so we cultivate, if people themselves are very strong, then why do we want to cultivate? I want to fly in the sky, because I don't think so, if it is a bird that can fly, then its dream will definitely not be to fly." ”

Jiang Ming thought for a moment, and felt that what Ling Xiyue said had a certain amount of truth, but it was also a fallacy: "The reason why people have wisdom is because they can make up for their weaknesses, and the use of weapons is to make up for the weakness of the body. ”

Ling Xiyue's excited eyes immediately cooled down a lot.

She also knows the truth of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and martial arts and immortal paths are the summaries of countless generations, and it is impossible not to even understand such a simple path.

If you really don't understand, you will be annihilated in the long river of history.

"The reason why people want to build all kinds of magic weapons is to make up for their weaknesses, but also to give full play to the advantages of human wisdom, division of labor and cooperation, creativity are the advantages of human beings, it is good to make up for shortcomings with advantages, but you can't abandon the basics!" Jiang Ming continued.

Ling Xiyue fell into deep thought.

Jiang Ming saw that the little girl was deep in thought, and was about to comfort her not to dwell on this trivial matter, when he suddenly saw Ling Xiyue's eyes appear fierce.

"There is another possibility, when the immortal road duel, both sides will conform to heaven and earth, so who will win? Even if the understanding of the power of heaven and earth is a little stronger, it may not necessarily affect life and death. But if you make up for it by means, as long as you use means that the other party can't restrain yourself, you can win. ”

Ling Xiyue said, "Martial arts are the same, if both sides can use countless changes, then no matter how subtle the changes are used, the other party may find a way to restrain them instantly, and at this time, it is a better choice to suppress people, so, so ......"

"So, whether it's the Immortal Dao or the Martial Dao, their essence is to kill people. Jiang Ming followed Ling Xiyue's words.

Why are there so many changes in the Immortal Dao, because it is useless to suppress people with force, so changes are born, so that they can kill people better; why does the Martial Dao focus on itself, because change does not make much sense, and it is better to kill people by focusing on themselves.

So the essence of immortal martial arts is actually the same: killing!

Ling Xiyue lowered her head, she felt a little scared, why would she make this guess? If the essence of martial arts is to kill people, then even if the martial arts are used to replace the demon path, what is the point? This is a negation of their efforts all along.

Jiang Ming gently hugged Ling Xiyue into his arms and said, "Being able to make this guess is not because of your thoughts, but because you have the courage. All cultivators, no matter what dreams they want to achieve, as long as they need to do it by becoming stronger, they must do so by killing people, even if it is for protection.

But it's such a simple fact, and no one dares to face it, even if it's what they're doing, but you're different, you have the courage to face the darkness, and that's a beautiful quality that surpasses everyone.

If you think the nature of martial arts is too terrifying, I will change it for you. ”
