Chapter 466 - 459: God of Martial Dao
The Tide of Martial Dao Thought!
In this world, anyone who could connect with that mysterious magnetic field would experience profound and mystical effects.
The current of literary thought, when connected with, could grant one a fountain of inspiration, allowing them to write as if guided by gods. The experiences of predecessors were perceived in a special way, interacting with one’s own will.
But such people were exceedingly rare, as if born with innate knowledge. With just a little effort, they could surpass the majority and even become the stars of their era.
And people like the Chief Commissioner went even further, using diligent effort to actively shoulder a similar current, gaining terrifyingly immense power.
How could one not be strong when the wills of countless people in the world converged in a single body, forged from the thoughts of all living beings?
And among all these tides of thought, the most effective and alluring for any Martial Artist was the tide of the Martial Dao, which, since ancient times, has been linked to humanity’s ceaseless drive for self-improvement, its upward struggle, its dauntless courage, and its unyielding spirit.
Within that tide, one could feel the most powerful insights and wills of their predecessors. They might even see the experiences and techniques that left the deepest impression on those forerunners. Furthermore, one could gather the wisdom of all who came before and gain intense inspiration.
For anyone, it was a supreme treasure trove.
And this treasure trove was also the most difficult to open, one that few from ancient times to the present had ever been able to connect with.
This was because all powerful masters of the Martial Dao were independent individuals with tenacious personalities, each possessing their own pride and integrity. Making them submit to another person wholeheartedly was an incredibly difficult task, let alone shouldering their wills and becoming their representative.
Only an existence who had made significant contributions to the Martial Dao, and whose own will and spirit were revered by all Martial Artists throughout history, could possess such a qualification.
In the past, not even Zhou Yuanjue could achieve this. Only in this unique environment, with the wills of the two peaks of the Martial Dao—the old and the new—entwined, could they resonate and connect with that tide of thought.
Wang Heng Mountain witnessed everything from the side, including the conversation between Zhou Yuanjue and the stranger. It made him realize just what he had seen.
That wondrous insight, that intense inspiration and resonance—it was what every Martial Artist dreamed of.
No one in the world could refuse such a temptation. It was a shortcut, a ladder from mortal to God.
Yet, the man who could have shouldered it all had just refused it so simply.
To him, this unparalleled temptation was nothing more than a stumbling block that would taint his pure path. That convergence of the wills of countless Martial Artists was something he believed he could now surpass, even all by himself.
’At this moment, I finally understand why that man was able to reach such a realm.’
’Only a man like that could completely break from tradition and forge a new path.’
A new era!!
"Have you thought this through?" Zhou Yuanjue asked, his eyes narrowing. "If you bear this tide of thought alone, there’s no telling what might happen. That immense will, accumulated since ancient times, might completely change your mind and your path."
"I have no fear of that. While you have the determination to cast everything aside and tread a new path—something I cannot match—my own will is not so easily changed."
"Even a Celestial Demon, after transforming my very life, ultimately failed to destroy my will. What can this thousand-year Martial Soul do to me?"
"This is perfect. With the inspiration from this thousand-year Martial Soul, I can find a path that suits this body and soul."
Zhang Dongwei said calmly. His own majestic magnetic field surged skyward, triggering a Celestial Phenomenon. In the unseen world, his magnetic field fully connected with that tide of thought.
BOOM!!
The immense information of will recorded in the magnetic field instantly flooded his mind. The blade-like wills of the most defiant, heroic, and unyielding individuals since ancient times assaulted his consciousness, not lessening in the slightest despite his resonance with the tide.
For Martial Artists, even those as close as father and son, there was never a custom of showing deference when it came to discussing the Martial Dao.
The strong were revered, and the accomplished came first.
Zhang Dongwei’s body swayed slightly, and his expression twisted, as if he were enduring some strange agony.
But soon, through the power of his resolute will, he stood firm within that tide like a monument that would never fall, and he gradually began to adapt.
"This feeling..."
Zhang Dongwei’s pupils shrank to pinpricks. Every muscle in his body tensed, the hairs on his skin stood on end, and his powerful muscles bulged. He was in a strange state.
He was having an unprecedented experience.
His mind was incredibly clear. Everything around him seemed to contain the ultimate principles of the Martial Dao, just waiting for him to unearth them. As his spirit turned, the countless experiences accumulated in the tide of thought gave him unparalleled inspiration.
About will, about techniques, about life...
At this moment, he truly felt like a divine being.
His eyes fell upon Zhou Yuanjue, who suddenly had the intense feeling of being seen through completely.
From the inside out, every part of him.
Before the inspired experience accumulated over countless years, he had nowhere to hide.
"What do you see?" Zhou Yuanjue asked.
"I see your weakness," Zhang Dongwei said softly.
"You possess a body that can only be described as terrifying, unparalleled Recovery Power, a formidable Spirit and will, skills refined through a thousand trials, and a genius-like ability to adapt in combat."
"Everything about you seems perfect, but in reality, you have a fatal weakness."
"Your body is in a temporary state, far from its peak. In your Cultivation of the Life Magnetic Field, you still lack the accumulation of years. Your Life Magnetic Field cannot regenerate endlessly like your physical body. If I were to use a powerful magnetic field to specifically attack your body’s magnetic field, my chances of victory would increase by at least thirty percent."
Zhang Dongwei’s tone and eyes were filled with an unnatural calm.
’He can actually do that?’
Zhou Yuanjue narrowed his eyes, unable to suppress the shock in his heart. At this moment, Zhang Dongwei was like a god of the Martial Dao who had mastered its every secret.
’Is this the power of the Divine Dao?’
"My mind is ceaselessly generating inspiration. I think I’m beginning to understand some things."
"Next, I will use all my energy and inspiration to launch an attack aimed at your body’s magnetic field. Whether you fail under this assault or achieve sublimation will ultimately be up to you. This is the path you have chosen. All I can do is use the experience of this ancient Martial Soul to give you the help you need. This is ’inheritance’."
"In my current state, I can probably only maintain this for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. So, enough with the pointless talk."
Zhang Dongwei said faintly. The crisscrossing Qi Veins within his body suddenly began to circulate, forming a new circuit.
SWOOSH!!
In an instant, his figure completely vanished from Zhou Yuanjue’s sight.
