Chapter 299 -183: Chen Qing’s Unique Path to Martial Arts Grandmaster_2
No wonder Yan Shiyin, with his double pupils, suffered such a thorough defeat.
If Chen Qing were a pure magic cultivator who only used spells in battle, then he might ignore this point.
But the problem was, he was actually a pure martial cultivator.
In the past, he relied on the Fatian Xiangdi to forcefully suppress his opponents.
All of his opponents had a severe issue, which was that they stood no chance against a frontal strike from Chen Qing.
Chen Qing wielded the Eight Dragon Power, relying purely on force to suppress everything.
But if he were to confront someone like Ji Dang, this method might very well be useless.

It’s just like last time during Foundation Establishment, when he faced War God Wu Doutian in the Illusion Realm.
Once the enemy could match him in a face-to-face confrontation, he was utterly crushed.
From start to finish, he was suppressed by Wu Doutian without any chance of counterattack.
It was only by using the fisherman’s tactic that he won.
But such desperate moves can only be used once at most.
The next time, they become completely ineffective.
After seeing his battle with Zhang Can, Cheng Tianyou never dared to engage head-on with him again.
He knew very well where his weaknesses lay, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“Qingxu has come to Hidden Sword Mountain this time to solve this problem.”
“I want to elevate my martial arts realm to the Grandmaster Realm within a few years.”
The State Preceptor chuckled and shook his head, “You’d better find someone more capable, old man, I can’t teach you.”
This was his way of saying he considered him quite dull.
Chen Qing wasn’t angry. He had a clear understanding of his own abilities and wouldn’t get upset over someone stating the truth.
Teaching, indeed, Chen Qing couldn’t reach the Grandmaster Realm in a short time.
“I’m not asking the State Preceptor to teach me, I just want to use some things from Hidden Sword Mountain.”
The State Preceptor was slightly puzzled, “What things?”
Chen Qing cupped his hands, “One River Sword Ghost.”
The State Preceptor gave Chen Qing a serious look and said angrily, “You’re trapping yourself in a cocoon!”
“People like you, I’ve seen before.”
“My master didn’t have high talent in the Sword Dao either, but through years of accumulation, after three thousand years, he achieved the Grandmaster Realm.”
“Of course, his talent in the Sword Dao was still somewhat better than yours, about on par with Zhang Can.”
“I heard Zhang Can mentioned you can devour ghosts and absorb their memories.”
“But even if you forcibly elevate your Sword Dao realm to the Grandmaster, it may well be that you’ll halt there for life!”
“Because what you’re using are the techniques of others, not your own insights.”
“Without your own insights, you cannot find your own path.”
“Without finding your own path, you’ll never transcend and reach the Saint Realm!”
“Others’ will always be others’, not your own!”
“If it’s not most suited to you, you’ll never transcend to the Saint Realm.”
Chen Qing understood this principle. It’s like how even though Song Qingshu knew the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, who would consider him a match for Qiao Feng?
But Chen Qing said slowly, “But what if I am not just a Sword Dao Master, but also a Spear Dao Master, and even a Sword Dao Master?”
Chen Qing’s thinking was straightforward, as he didn’t have much inherent talent in martial arts anyway.
Even spending thousands of years might not bring him to the Grandmaster Realm, so why not devour ghosts and absorb their martial arts experiences?
Yes, he could not only be a Sword Dao Master but also a Spear Dao Master, a Sword Dao Master, a Master of Fist Skills, and more…
In this way, he could forge an entirely new path.
That is, the ultimate Grandmaster Realm in martial arts!
He wasn’t just some Sword Dao Master, Spear Dao Master, Master of Fist Skills.
He was a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
He simply wanted to be a pure hexagonal warrior.
Hearing this, the State Preceptor’s eyes shifted, pondering for a moment, “This could indeed be a method.”
“I’m quite looking forward to seeing what you’ll become after mastering multiple paths.”
“The One River Sword Ghost is the result of Hidden Sword Mountain’s accumulation over millennia.”
“And this accumulation, each Sword Ghost, embodies the Sword Dao obsessions left by predecessors of Hidden Sword Mountain.”
“This cannot be exchanged by leading the current generation of Hidden Sword Mountain disciples into the Death Realm, to become Mystic Gate Realm.”
“Temporary matters are only temporary matters.”
Chen Qing reached into his sleeve and pulled out a volume of “Nanli Common Gu Theory, Sword Gu Chapter” and placed it before the State Preceptor, “Could this suffice?”
The State Preceptor took the book, glanced through it for a moment. Having seen countless sword Gu in his lifetime, just a few pages told him it was genuine.
“The world has been saying you are the Lord Wen of Nanli. I didn’t believe it before, but now it seems you live up to the name.”
Chen Qing said, “With Hidden Sword Mountain’s millennia of accumulated sword moves, for Hidden Sword Mountain’s future millennia of Sword Dao prosperity, could it be possible?”
The State Preceptor thought for a moment, tugged at his white beard, “I will reply to you in three days!”
“Dong Ya, take Qingxu to Sword Mountain and let him choose a famous sword!”
“Consider this my meeting gift for you.”
With that, the State Preceptor placed the book back in front of him without opening it again.
This meant that with a few pages, he gifted a spiritual item sword Gu.
Chen Qing stood up and cupped his hands, “Then I’ll wait for the State Preceptor to make his decision!”
…
Hidden Sword Mountain is named so because of the existence of this Sword Mountain.
Sword Mountain is filled with numerous spiritual item sword Gu, accumulated over the years by Hidden Sword Mountain.
Upon reaching Sword Mountain, Chen Qing felt a tinge of shock.
This was a different kind of awe than that of the Linglong Divine Palace.
The verdant mountain was full of dust-covered ancient swords.
This was likely a special method of sealing sword Gu.
Some were embedded by the roadside, some on cliffs.
When Chen Qing cast his eyes over, all sorts of information flooded in.
Here, he practically saw all sorts of sword Gu, nearly seeing all there was to see.
With Hidden Sword Mountain’s accumulation, it housed nearly all common Spirit Sword Gu.
And several types of spiritual item sword Gu that were rarely seen.
Among them, a peachwood sword named Taofu caught Chen Qing’s interest.
It was very effective against vengeful spirits and could perform the Heavenly Thunder Skills.
Unfortunately, as the Master of Evil Ghosts, Chen Qing wasn’t interested in these at all.
Another sword named Su Wen also intrigued Chen Qing.
With a snow-white blade, it resembled a serene autumn pond.
It could eliminate distractions and cut through inner demons.
This sword was a great choice for cultivation and restraining ghostly tricks.
However, Chen Qing’s own resilience against mind-disturbing spells was strong due to his experience, so its significance wasn’t substantial.
Additionally, there were notable swords like Dou Zhuan, Heavenly Bull, Divine, Chang Kong, and Feihong.
All were exceptional famous swords.
Chen Qing didn’t immediately pick one, as he had yet to form his own Sword Dao, and it wasn’t the right time.
Once he devoured the One River Sword Ghost and elevated his martial realm, he could then select one that suited him best.
Actually, what Chen Qing wanted most was a Gu that could transform into various weapons.
Regrettably, such a Gu was a unique treasure, one that even Hidden Sword Mountain didn’t possess.
Acquiring such a Gu would require a great opportunity.
Roaming around Sword Mountain, he gained much knowledge, seeing many Sword Dao spiritual item Gu.
With so many spiritual item sword Gu at Hidden Sword Mountain, he wondered about the sword Dao secrets of the Sword Travel Palace.
After observing for two days at Sword Mountain, Chen Qing suddenly paused.
It wasn’t because he found the Spirit Sword he was most interested in, but because he felt a stirring within himself.
His Lifebound Gu was about to Harmonize with the Ninth Transformation.
Chen Qing took out a jade bottle, poured out its Mystic Sky Purple Qi, but found his Lifebound Light Butterfly unresponsive.
The fluttering sound from his chest grew louder, and the frequency increased.
Alas, he couldn’t cut open his chest to see how it ascended.
Immediately, Chen Qing found an ancient pine growing on a cliff, leaped onto it, and sat down cross-legged.
