Chapter 383: Chapter 219: The Path of Concealing Breath and Form 1

Seeing the apparent displeasure of his master, Red Cat gave a sudden shake of his body, revealing a majestic demon-like aura, growling, and presenting himself in a valiant manner.

It signified that he had not been slacking off, but instead, been diligently cultivating.

“Master!”

Xu Yan and Meng Chong approached and paid their respectful greetings.

Li Xuan nodded, saying, “You want to go to Ling Domain, right?”

He realized that Xu Yan wanted to enter the Gate of Lingyu to accumulate personal resources in the Ling Domain, hoping to breakthrough to Divine Intent State as soon as possible.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan responded respectfully.

Li Xuan, sipping his tea, did not speak but was deep in thought.

The Ling Domain, the pinnacle of Martial Arts, was incomparable to the Inner Domain. Even a Refining God Heavenly Man might not necessarily be the strongest there.

Xu Yan had achieved perfection in comprehending the profound, and his Sword Dao and Sword Intent had greatly improved. Especially, his Sudden Wind Sword Intent, which was capable of slaughtering Divine Souls.

For a Martial Artist, it was an irresistible deadly move.

For this reason, even though Xu Yan had only achieved perfection in comprehending the profound, he had no problem in slaughtering minor heavenly men.

Even if he encountered a significant heavenly man, it wouldn’t mean he had no chance of fighting back.

Significant heavenly people belonged to the phase of soul unification. Their spirit consciousness was much stronger and could resist the Sudden Wind Sword Intent to a certain extent. However, they would still be affected and their strength impeded.

At Xu Yan’s current stage, it was temporarily impossible for his Sudden Wind Sword Intent to significantly improve and possess stronger slaughter power.

Therefore, Xu Yan’s current strength could kill minor heavenly men and even some garbage significant heavenly men. If he were to come across strong individuals among significant heavenly men, he might not have the upper hand.

Nevertheless, if Xu Yan wished to escape, there wouldn’t be a problem.

But what if he encountered an ambush?

Li Xuan originally thought that after Xu Yan broke through the Divine Intent State and then entered the Ling Domain, he could face more dangers.

But now he thought, “The way of Martial Artists is never smooth sailing. Xu

Yan has great talent, luck, and strength. Being in the Ling Domain for adventures would help him grow faster.

“Just like when he first entered the Inner Domain, his strength rapidly increased.”

Once Li Xuan understood this, he thought entering the Ling Domain to accumulate resources and experience would not waste too much time. By exploring and adventuring through the Ling Domain, Xu Yan would quickly accumulate enough power to break through the Divine Intent State.

“There are many spirit realm powerhouses in the Ling Domain. Encountering strong enemies and running away is inevitable, but it’s not safe just to rely on speed. The key is to know how to hide yourself.”

“I almost forgot, the technique of controlling and hiding oneself can avoid detection by powerful individuals. In case of danger, it can help one to escape.”

Li Xuan suddenly remembered that he had overlooked the technique of controlling breath and hiding one’s form.

This was indispensable in the martial arts world.

It could often turn peril into safety and help one escape. It was an essential technique in dealing with powerful enemies and powerful forces hunting you down.

“The Ling Domain, for your current strength, does pose some dangers. Provoking powerful forces is commonplace, but every powerhouse has risen by stepping on others and flipping powerful forces.

“Those are stepping stones, but facing powerful forces, if one is careless, it could lead to irreparable calamity.”

Li Xuan put down his tea cup and began speaking with serious expression.

“My disciples, you should have some experience adventuring in the martial arts world. Heaven’s chosen ones do not fight for momentary victory or defeat. One should retreat when needs to, dodge when he should, act according to circumstances, and take advantage of one’s strengths.

“While I have taught you the law of martial arts, the art of killing, what I have not taught you is how to hide oneself to avoid powerful enemies. Today, I will teach you the way of controlling one’s breath and hiding one’s form.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Su Lingxiu were overjoyed.

Befoie this, Li Xuan had not prepared the way of controlling breath and hiding oneself. Now he had to come up with it on the spot. At this moment, he already had a few key sentences springing to mind.

“Listen carefully. Whether it is controlling breath or hiding oneself, all are embodied in this technique. Make sure you strive hard to comprehend it.”

Li Xuan spoke with a serious tone.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan and his brother and sister disciples responded respectfully.

“Blend with the light, become one with the dust, mingle with the material, merge into the void; dwell within heaven and earth, yet heaven and earth know me not!”

Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

“Blend with the light, become one with the dust…”

Xu Yan felt a shock in his heart, and he repeated the words subconsciously, feeling that these few sentences were containing profound mystery.

Meng Chong and Su Lingxiu also fell into deep thought.

“Go and comprehend it. When you comprehend some essence of it and can control breath and hide your form, then you can go to Ling Domain.”

Li Xuan waved his hand.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan and the others bowed and left.

Sitting on the mountain peak, Xu Yan murmured to himself, “Blend with the light, become one with the dust, mingle with the material, merge into the void; dwell within heaven and earth, yet heaven and earth know me not?”

The more he contemplated, the more profound it seemed.

To dwell within heaven and earth and yet, for heaven and earth to not know of one’s existence-

What an incredible method of concealing oneself!

Li Xuan took a deep breath. After passing on the way of controlling breath and hiding one’s form to Xu Yan and the others, he opened the Daoist Golden Book and wrote the key sentences into it.

He received feedback information from the Daoist Golden Book.

The key sentences were a bit mysterious, but given Xu Yan’s prodigious talent, there was no worry that he wouldn’t be able to comprehend anything from it.

Once Xu Yan comprehended it, Meng Chong and Su Lingxiu could also practice it.

He didn’t demand Xu Yan to master the technique of hiding his form and reaching a state where he could dwell within heaven and earth without being detected by heaven and earth.

It was enough to be able to control one’s breath and hide one’s form to dodge the detection of powerful individuals.

If he reached the level of being undetectable even by the Heaven and Earth Laws, the technique of hiding would be too horrific. Given Xu Yan’s current strength, it was impossible to comprehend this level.

The technique of controlling breath and hiding one’s form:

Completeness of the technique: High.

Difficulty in cultivating: High.

Difficulty in understanding and enlightenment: Extremely High!
