The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3275 - 3270: Perfect Dao Techniques_1

Princess Wen Qi let out a light laugh: "So, these are the challenges you've been facing. It's no surprise—when you joined the Divine Night Sect, you'd already stepped into the Heaven-separated Realm, and nobody bothered to explain these matters to you. Truth is, you ought to have noticed such problems back in the Realmless stage. Yang Chen, are you aware that just copying someone else's Dao Techniques without thought isn't the way to go?"

"Why is that?" Yang Chen inquired, looking confused.

"Because every person's Law is one-of-a-kind; even if it's the identical Law, it'll produce varying results depending on who's wielding it. Thus, Dao Techniques hold no absolutes. It's okay to try one out now and then, but diving into a bunch of them can easily cause your own Dao cultivation to veer off course. You might climb to the same level as the technique's originator, yet you possess your personal grasp of the Dao. Sticking to another's route—how could that lead to true cultivation?" Princess Wen Qi countered sharply.

Yang Chen stood there in shock: "If things get to that point, what would occur?"

"It'll block your further advancement. You're fortunate to have broken into the Heaven-separated Realm at all. I assumed you had some grasp of this, but it turns out you're utterly in the dark. Yang Chen, you must've pulled out all the stops to reach the Heaven-separated Realm, right?" Princess Wen Qi remarked with a grin.

Yang Chen gave a wry nod.

Indeed, breaking into the Heaven-separated Realm had demanded tremendous toil from him, starting with the Liuli Mine and followed by Xuan Jie's corpse.

Only the merging of those two elements had propelled him into the Heaven-separated Realm. For most folks, the Liuli Mine alone would suffice.

"Exactly, you're clever. Realizing your cultivation wasn't yielding fruits, you wisely held back from pushing too hard. Had you not, regret would've hit you hard down the line. Overindulging in foreign Dao Techniques hampers your growth across the Three Heavenly Realms. The jump from Realmless to Heaven-separated Realm is one hurdle, and from Heaven-separated to Heaven-appointed Realm is quite another. Even within the Heaven-appointed Realm, breaking into the Heavenly Extreme Realm might stay out of reach forever!" Princess Wen Qi explained.

Yang Chen's eyes widened in alarm: "That severe?"

"Absolutely, it's that dire. To step into the Heavenly Extreme Realm, you must forge your unique path, be it in Dao Techniques or Laws. Comprehend them through your own insights, not by mimicking others. From what I know, every cultivator who attains the Heavenly Extreme Realm crafts their own Dao Techniques, rooted in their personal Laws. That's the secret to success," Princess Wen Qi stated firmly.

Sudden clarity struck Yang Chen—he couldn't take Luo's claims at face value. For some unfamiliar Dao Technique, gambling his future wasn't worth it.

Yet, just as that idea surfaced, Princess Wen Qi added: "Naturally, there's an exception to the rule."

"What kind of exception?" Yang Chen asked.

"In this world exists a Dao Technique that lets cultivators practice it without fearing stagnation in their progress," Princess Wen Qi clarified.

"Which Dao Technique would that be?" Yang Chen pressed.

"It's known as the Perfect Dao Technique, though it's incredibly scarce, and its origins trace back to the powerhouses of the Heavenly Extreme Realm," Princess Wen Qi replied.

Yang Chen's pupils contracted sharply: "From the Heavenly Extreme Realm's powerhouses? Doesn't that mean regular Heavenly Extreme Realm folks fall short?"

"Correct, even I can't forge a Perfect Dao Technique," Princess Wen Qi admitted with a wry, self-deprecating smile. "The Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivators who can craft such techniques occupy the universe's absolute summit. Only those supreme beings produce Dao Techniques that embrace all aspects, nearly touching the cosmos's core essence. With them, no concerns arise—since even reaching the same realm via a Perfect Dao Technique means your self-created ones would pale in comparison."

"Within our Divine Night Sect, just two Perfect Dao Techniques exist. Neither fits you for practice, and even if one did, the sect would demand massive contributions before handing it over," Princess Wen Qi continued.

At last, Yang Chen pieced it together: the Dao Technique Luo mentioned was probably a Perfect one. That would explain Luo's lavish offers. Yan Luo's past feats had surely ranked among the universe's elite. Otherwise, its broken fragment Yan couldn't have birthed a Netherworld so fearsome.

"I've got it, Senior. Upon my return, I'll abandon these Dao Techniques. But how exactly do I go about forging my own?" Yang Chen sighed in resignation, shaking his head. He'd poured so much time into those techniques, yet now it all seemed for naught.

His lingering question centered on crafting his personal Dao Techniques.

"Forming Dao Techniques calls for time's slow build-up and fateful chances. You could retreat into secluded cultivation or wander through scenic landscapes. A sudden spark might ignite profound insights. In general, secluded meditation rarely sparks enlightenment. True breakthroughs often ignite in dire crises," Princess Wen Qi advised.

Yang Chen mulled over her guidance.

"Drawing inspiration from other Dao Techniques works fine, as long as you don't cultivate them outright and instead transform borrowed ideas into your originals. The method's up to you. Just keep this in mind: for mastering the great Dao, nothing beats what you claim as truly yours," Princess Wen Qi emphasized.

Yang Chen nodded solemnly: "I'll etch Senior Wen Qi's wisdom into my heart."

"This is merely a heads-up from me. Oh, and Yang Chen, your reputation's soaring lately, yet Spirit Separation Ancestor hasn't struck at you. Stay vigilant on your own. Much like with that Dao Technique, true aid comes mostly from your personal striving," Princess Wen Qi warned with genuine worry.

Gratitude filled Yang Chen as he replied, "Junior understands."

With his questions cleared, Yang Chen didn't linger and soon took his leave.

Once away, Yang Chen set about purging the prior Dao Techniques from his body right away.

For instance, shedding the Dao Techniques he'd touched in his first twenty years proved straightforward. But unraveling ones like the Reincarnation Scripture and the Mysterious Wandering Spear Canon demanded far more effort and couldn't wrap up overnight.

Besides, purging his skills would strip away all his battle prowess against foes.

"No need to rush yet. If I can't even grasp these basics of my path, hastily dissolving my techniques would only harm me," Yang Chen reflected inwardly.

He had to define his own path first.

Thus, Yang Chen devoted another decade to patient waiting!

Over those ten years, he plunged deep into cultivation, training relentlessly day in and day out.

Only Yang Chen realized that in that span, he'd fully expelled every Dao Technique he'd once pursued.

From their core essences, he delved into contemplation and analysis, thereby sketching his unique Law Path drawn from his insights.

As Princess Wen Qi had noted, self-forged Dao Techniques aligned perfectly with one's Law Path.

No soul knew what Yang Chen truly cultivated during that decade of ceaseless immersion.

All anyone grasped was that, after ten years, Yang Chen appeared out of nowhere and made a beeline for the Longxiao Market!

...Apologies for the mishap regarding the King of Angry Seas; I returned home lately and felt somewhat disoriented. That error's been corrected now.
