I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 34: Xu Yan: The Descending Dragon Palm is incredibly powerful l

Translator: 549690339

Li Xuan never expected Xu Yan to pose such a question.

He could only say, it’s no wonder that this man, who managed to successfully cultivate a fabricated cultivation technique, has a thought process and focus different from ordinary people.

But this question wouldn’t baffle him!

At once, he looked at Xu Yan with a gratifying gaze, his face full of satisfaction towards his disciple.

“My dear disciple, your ability to ask this question at this time indicates you have an acceptable level of comprehension and have already begun to catch a glimpse of the principles of the Descending Dragon Palm.

“There’s an adage that says ‘fight poison with poison’, have you ever heard of it?

“The Descending Dragon Palm is just like this, using a dragon to subdue a dragon.

“Dragons are superior divine creatures, born with divine skills, how could it be easy to subdue them?

“This Descending Dragon Palm, using a dragon to subdue a dragon, not only conquers the dragon’s body, but also the dragon’s heart, attacking both its body and its will!”

Li Xuan started inventing further as he spoke.

“Subduing the dragon’s body, as well as the dragon’s heart, attacking both its body and its will?”

Xu Yan’s heart shakes mighty; he feels the Descending Dragon Palm is indeed mystical and unpredictable.

Although he hasn’t clearly understood how to conquer the body and the heart, how to attack the body and the will, it doesn’t lessen his awe towards the Descending Dragon Palm.

His heart was wildly excited, “I must master the Descending Dragon Palm. If I ever encounter a true dragon one day, I will use this palm to subdue the dragon!”

“Master, I understand, I will definitely master the Descending Dragon Palm, I will definitely comprehend the true meaning of Descending Dragon Palm!”

Xu Yan said, firmly.

“Hmm, I believe in you!”

Li Xuan was greatly comforted.

“As for the set phrase of the Descending Dragon Palm, you must remember it well, disciple. This is where the true meaning of Descending Dragon Palm lies. If you can understand a bit of it, Descending Dragon Palm can be learned. If you understand its true meaning, that would be a martial arts divine skill.”

In order to create the Descending Dragon Palm, Li Xuan had to rack his brains and invent a set of phrases.

As for whether it will work, it depends on Xu Yan himself.

“Disciple will definitely remember it in heart!”

Xu Yan replied respectfully.

“Listen well.”

Li Xuan said solemnly, “Dragons possess divine skills, changing according to the situation; their actions dominate the world, their anger shakes heaven and earth; when angry, they stir up storms, when hidden, they leave no traces; striking thousands of miles, extremely yang and strong, nothing can resist; flexible as water, unpredictable, both compliance and defiance at will.”

Xu Yan muttered the phrase, his eyes in deep thought, as if a burst of inspiration flashed across his mind, he vaguely felt that he had comprehended something.

But he couldn’t grasp it.

“Come follow me.”

Li Xuan, with his hands behind his back, walked towards the flat area where the Eight Diagrams were drawn.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan respectfully followed behind.

“Do you see this? These are the Eight Diagrams!”

Li Xuan pointed at the Eight Diagrams on the ground and said.

“Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui…”

Li Xuan explained to Xu Yan all the knowledge he could remember about the Eight Diagrams, meanwhile randomly making up some theories that sounded mystical and strong.

“The mysterious and endless changes of the Eight Diagrams, how much you can comprehend, how much you can understand, it all depends on you… Movement techniques, steps, etc. can all be understood from the Eight Diagrams.”

“After entering the door, cultivation depends on the individual. You need to be good at grasping the inspiration of the moment. Today, I will transmit to you the understanding of Descending Dragon Palm and the subtlety of the Eight Diagrams, so you can deeply ponder.”

After explaining, Li Xuan spoke in a solemn voice.

“Yes, Master, I will certainly not disappoint you!”

Xu Yan nodded respectfully.

In his mind, at this moment, it was all theories about Eight Diagrams. The more he thought about it, the more mysterious it seemed to be. It felt like he could keep perceiving it.

“This is the supreme Martial Arts!”

Xu Yan thought excitedly in his heart.

“You can allocate your practice time yourself. Cooking and feeding the chickens can be done once a day.”

Li Xuan contemplated for a moment and said.

He has to give more time for the disciple to practice, rather than waste it on feeding chickens, farming, and cooking.

With his current state, even if he didn’t eat or drink for several days, he wouldn’t have any problems.

Eating one meal a day is sufficient.

“Yes, Disciple understands!”

Xu Yan said respectfully.

“Hmm, practice well.”

With his hands clasped behind his back, Li Xuan strolled away leisurely.

He returned to the village and sat down on a chair under a large tree. Li Xuan sighed, wondering if his disciple would succeed in his cultivation training?

He focused his consciousness, trying to probe his Golden Finger.

But he found nothing.

The Golden Finger would only appear when Xu Yan made a breakthrough in his cultivation and received feedback.

“Could it be that my strength is too low to actively see the Golden Finger?”

Li Xuan speculated inwardly.

“The function of the Golden Finger should be to make the cultivation technique I created theoretically successful. Of course, there are certain limitations, such as the cultivator cannot be too lacking in comprehension skills.

“Xu Yan, this silly disciple of mine, has a strong ability to fill in the gaps and has top-notch comprehension abilities, so he was able to succeed in his cultivation training.

“My Golden Finger should have been activated when Xu Yan successfully cultivated the random technique 1 created. Thanks to Xu Yan, this extraordinary being, for acknowledging me as his master. Otherwise, I would have been stuck in this little village, unable to go anywhere!”

Li Xuan sighed inwardly.

Taking Xu Yan as a disciple was indeed a very wise decision.

Xu Yan completed a circle following The Eight Diagrams and fell into deep thought. Vague insights flickered in his mind, but he was unable to express them concretely.

“I’ll allocate some cultivation time now. I’ll practice the Descending Dragon Palm in the morning and contemplate The Eight Diagrams in the afternoon!”

“Today, I will start with Descending Dragon Palm training.”

Xu Yan thought to himself and returned to the hillside where his master had taught him the Descending Dragon Palm.

Taking a deep breath, he forcefully thrust out his palm. His Qi and Blood burst forth, like a burning torrent, crushing the air before it.

“That’s not right! This is just the force of my Qi and Blood, not the power of the True Dragon Palm!”

Xu Yan furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.

Again and again, he pondered over the mantra of the Descending Dragon Palm in his mind.

“The dragon has Divine Skills, and the power of the dragon is naturally invincible. To be invincible, one must be wild and robust, concentrating power in a single instant…

“My realm is still low. 1 shouldn’t demand too much. So, 1 should lower my expectations…

“How can I, the dragon with Divine Skills, display the palm strength similar to the Divine Skills of a dragon?”

Xu Yan entered a state of deep contemplation, forgetting everything else.

At that moment, the images of legendary stories about the True Dragon and its portraits surfaced in his mind.

In an instant, a sort of enlightenment dawned on him.

Bang!

Qi and blood accumulated in his palm. They compressed against each other, condensed into one, and then blasted out with a powerful palm strike.

A wave of blood and qi, twice as mighty as before, violently crashed into a tree not far away.

Crack!

The tree broke and collapsed instantly.

“I understand how 1 can make my palm force strong and elevate it beyond normal limits.”

At that moment, Xu Yan opened his eyes as a flash of insight illuminated his mind, enlightening him on how to unleash a fierce palm force.

As he saw his abdomen and chest swell, he thrust out both palms. His blood and Qi swiftly turned into a violent torrent that burst forth, once again doubling its power!

Bang!

He punched a small pit into the ground.

“I’ve finally understood a bit of it. This is just the beginning. This palm strike of mine is more than twice as powerful as the full-force strike I used to have before practicing the Descending Dragon Palm. This is not the limit, it’s just the beginning!”

Xu Yan was visibly excited at this moment.

“Just by understanding a bit of it, I could release such a powerful palm force. The power of the Descending Dragon Palm is truly unparalleled!”

Now that he had gained some perception, the next step was to solidify this perception, practice repeatedly, continue understanding, and refine it.
