Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 831 Chapter 337: Lecturing on Martial Arts Across the World, Attribute Entry [Martial Ancestor]! (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng chuckled, "Father, you've finally grasped the essence of this merchant route."

"Indeed," Ying Zheng affirmed.

"If we want to foster the emergence of civilian martial artists and encourage outstanding talents from among the populace."

"This method is certainly practical."

"Furthermore," Zhao Feng continued.

"I have long since established a system of rewards and punishments for the Tianxuan Mirror. Should anyone create a Martial Technique or Cultivation Technique and submit it, the Tianxuan Mirror will directly appraise its value and grant corresponding contribution point rewards. Naturally, this also extends to Immortal Techniques and Skills."

"Only through encouragement and reward can we ensure the flourishing of cultivation within Qin." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

"Currently, the Academic Palace has already established the Martial Path and the Immortal Path. However, auxiliary paths such as alchemy and artifact refining have yet to commence."

"These areas still require individuals from Yanting," Ying Zheng stated.

"That is only natural," Zhao Feng replied.

"In the future, Qin must achieve comprehensive development."

"The Academic Palace shall serve as the cradle of talent for Qin, nurturing not only the Martial Path and Immortal Path but also every supporting discipline that requires cultivation," Zhao Feng emphasized with a smile.

"As for the specific arrangements, I shall entrust them to your personal handling," Ying Zheng declared.

"I, your father, am responsible for managing state affairs, but when it comes to matters of cultivation, your judgment takes precedence," Ying Zheng added with a smile.

"Understood,"

Zhao Feng nodded his assent.

Time, as it always does, passed swiftly.

Ten days elapsed in the blink of an eye.

Today, Xianyang City is abuzz with an event of rare grandeur.

Hundreds of thousands of people have converged outside the city walls.

From the young to the old, men and women alike, the entire populace of Xianyang, save for the infirm, has gathered. Many also traveled from neighboring cities, all eager to receive the Crown Prince's martial teachings.

The scene outside Xianyang City was one of unparalleled liveliness.

Such a gathering was unprecedented in the hundreds of years since the founding of Qin.

"I've never witnessed such a multitude in Xianyang throughout my entire life."

"The outskirts of the city are completely thronged with people."

"I wonder if, with so many present, we will all be able to hear the Crown Prince's teachings?"

"While martial skills have been disseminated, the Crown Prince's lecture presents a tremendous opportunity; one can only hope to catch even a fragment of it."

"Indeed."

...

Gazing upon the immense crowd, the countless citizens of Qin were filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

As moments ticked by.

The sky gradually began to lighten.

Then, at last.

From the expanse above.

A solitary figure traversed the air.

"Quick, look at the sky!"

"That's the Crown Prince!"

"It truly is him!"

"To fly through the air, this must be an arcane skill of the Immortals!"

"Could this be the power of the Martial Dao?"

"The Crown Prince truly appears as an Immortal."

"I wonder what level of Martial Arts Realm one must attain to achieve flight?"

An uncountable number of people craned their necks, gazing at the figure in the sky, their hearts filled with profound awe.

Under the collective gaze of the populace.

Zhao Feng alighted gracefully upon the battlements of Xianyang City.

"Greetings, Crown Prince."

Countless citizens prostrated themselves in salutation.

Those of noble rank were granted exemption from kneeling, while the common folk were obliged to do so.

"People of Qin, you may rise,"

Zhao Feng, observing the assembled masses before the city, offered a gentle smile and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Crown Prince, for your benevolence."

A chorus of excited shouts erupted from the citizens.

"Months ago, the Martial Path was introduced into the realm of Qin, bestowing upon the people the opportunity to cultivate."

"However."

"The populace remains largely ignorant of the intricacies of the Martial Arts Realm and the essence of achieving breakthroughs."

"Today."

"I shall elucidate the profound mysteries of the Martial Path for the people of Qin," Zhao Feng announced in a measured tone.

His voice, amplified by True Yuan, resonated across the vast area beyond Xianyang City.

"Thank you, Crown Prince, for your grace."

The countless citizens erupted in joyous cheers once more.

"Tianxuan Mirror."

Zhao Feng gestured with his hand.

The Tianxuan Mirror detached from his Dantian, guided by Zhao Feng's True Yuan.

It ascended towards the Void Palace, subsequently dividing into more than a dozen subsidiary mirrors, materializing as colossal screens. Zhao Feng's likeness was prominently displayed within the Tianxuan Mirror.

Every individual present could perceive Zhao Feng's image with perfect clarity.

Furthermore, across the entirety of the Great Qin Territory.

Countless citizens simultaneously retrieved their own Tianxuan Mirrors.

"The Crown Prince is commencing his martial arts lecture."

"Hurry, you can witness it through the Tianxuan Mirror."

"Indeed, the image of the Crown Prince is being broadcast."

"The Tian Xuan Mirror is truly an Immortal Magical Treasure; its capabilities are astounding."

"Even though the Crown Prince is far away in Xianyang, we, separated by thousands of miles, can behold him as if he were right before our eyes."

"This Martial Arts Lecture is certainly an event worth anticipating..."

An innumerable populace of Qin drew forth their Tian Xuan Mirrors, clearly observing the figure of Zhao Feng. Every single movement he executed was scrutinized under their collective gaze. The entirety of Qin, almost every individual, was engrossed in this grand occasion of the Martial Arts Lecture. Even those who had never engaged in cultivation were eager to witness the current Crown Prince's majestic presence.

"Now," Zhao Feng declared, his voice slowly resonating, and the sound propagated through the Tian Xuan Mirror, reaching the ears of countless Qin citizens. Outside the vast expanse of Xianyang City, hundreds of thousands of onlookers stood in profound silence, the only sound being the interwoven rhythm of their breaths. Each person was remarkably solemn.

"Martial Arts, the Immortal Path." Zhao Feng continued, "Though they represent distinct cultivation methodologies, their ultimate convergence lies in the pursuit of supreme power, the attainment of longevity, and the achievement of absolute freedom."

"Martial Arts places paramount importance on one's martial roots; the stronger these roots, the more accelerated the cultivation progression. These roots serve as the conduit through which martial artists absorb the spiritual energy of nature. A more robust root system allows for a greater conversion of spiritual energy into one's own True Qi and True Yuan, thereby significantly enhancing cultivation. Nevertheless, within the discipline of Martial Arts, sheer diligence can compensate for a deficiency in innate talent."

"Conversely, the Immortal Path, when contrasted with Martial Arts, presents more stringent prerequisites, mandating the possession of spirit roots for cultivation. The superior the quality of one's spirit root, the smoother the journey along the Immortal Path. In the absence of fortuitous encounters or exceptional luck, individuals with weaker spirit root potential are consequently destined to fall short of traversing the Immortal Road to eternal life."

"Regarding the Martial Arts Realm," Zhao Feng elaborated, "the foundational stage is the Postnatal Realm. Upon achieving perfection in the Postnatal Realm, even with the least sophisticated cultivation technique, individuals can attain formidable strength. The caliber of the cultivation technique employed directly corresponds to the potency exhibited at the Postnatal Realm. The Postnatal Realm, as an entry-level stage, primarily focuses on the refinement of the physical body and the tempering of the corporeal form, with the cultivation of internal strength being the principal objective."

"The Innate Realm marks the true ascent into the ranks of martial artists, wherein internal strength transmutes into True Qi, enabling the assimilation of nature's spiritual energy into the body. Progressing to the Grandmaster Realm allows True Qi to be externalized, bestowing the capability to shatter city walls with a mere gesture, and with True Qi augmentation, one can contend with the strength of hundreds. Upon entering the Great Grandmaster Realm, the individual transcends the status of an ordinary person, capable of annihilating multitudes with a casual wave of the hand. Such beings are impervious to conventional human weaponry; even a barrage of thousands of arrows would prove ineffective as their uninterrupted True Qi protects them, ensuring their survival. A Great Grandmaster can decimate thousands through the sheer might of their True Qi," Zhao Feng concluded slowly. His words reverberated throughout Xianyang City, echoing across the entire Daqin World.

At this very moment, countless citizens engaged in Martial Arts cultivation experienced profound moments of enlightenment. "The Martial Arts Realm possesses such a multitude of stages," they marveled. "Postnatal, Innate, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster." "To reach the Great Grandmaster realm, capable of single-handedly destroying thousands of troops, is such a feat even human?" "What realm has the Crown Prince attained? Is he capable of flight?" "The Martial Arts Realm indeed holds a promising future." "Achieving the Great Grandmaster Realm would undoubtedly bring everlasting fame across the lands." Countless citizens mused excitedly, their hearts filled with fervent aspirations towards these Martial Arts Realms. Zhao Feng's discourse continued, delving into the critical aspects of achieving breakthroughs within each respective Martial Arts realm.

Of course, while Martial Arts encompass various realms, the cultivation techniques accessible to the common populace are predominantly limited to the Postnatal Realm. To acquire techniques for subsequent stages, individuals must gain entry into the Academic Palace, achieve distinction in military service, or accumulate sufficient contribution points within the Tian Xuan Mirror for their exchange. Time unfurled, and a full day swiftly elapsed. As night descended, citizens outside Xianyang City and across the kingdom remained attentive listeners. They were unwilling to forfeit this invaluable opportunity; every soul yearning for martial prowess was utterly captivated. With the dawn of the second day, Zhao Feng's voice gradually reached its conclusion.

"The key principles for advancing through the various Martial Arts realms," he stated, "have now been expounded upon. Martial Arts techniques are of immense significance to the nation's strength. Should any outstanding talents successfully reach Postnatal Realm Perfection, they are permitted to register with the governing authorities to receive advanced techniques. However, these techniques are strictly prohibited from external dissemination."

"The same applies here."

"With the dissemination of Martial Arts, countless prodigies will undoubtedly emerge across the land. There will surely be numerous instances of developing unique Martial Arts techniques and forms, which can then be submitted to the imperial court. These will be evaluated by the Tian Xuan Mirror, granting contribution points in return."

"In the future,"

"The Tian Xuan Mirror will also offer a plethora of supplementary cultivation pills, all obtainable through the exchange of contribution points."

"Furthermore,"

"The Qin will establish opportunities to exchange contribution points for spiritual herbs, potent medicines, and rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"This exchange will be accessible to all citizens of the realm."

"Very well."

"This Martial Arts Lecture concludes here. Should another opportunity arise in the future, I shall deliver another Martial Arts Lecture," Zhao Feng declared with measured words.

Upon hearing this, the assembled citizens stirred as if emerging from a dream, a sense of profound reluctance washing over them.

"Thank you, Crown Prince, for bestowing upon us this enlightening Martial Arts Lecture."

"We offer our deepest gratitude."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"The Crown Prince has pioneered the art of Martial Arts and imparted its teachings; he rightfully deserves the title of Martial Ancestor of Qin, nay, the Martial Ancestor of the entire world."

"We pay homage to the Martial Ancestor..."

The voices, originating from beyond the walls of Xianyang City, gradually coalesced, solidifying into the revered title of Martial Ancestor.

And at this precise moment!

"To pioneer the cultivation of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts, thereby being revered as the progenitor of a path."

"Attribute entry acquired..."
