The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1639 - 1640: The Pinnacle of Martial Arts

After much inquiry, Ye Mo finally found the grand hall of his assigned academy, where most of the people were from Immortal Spirit City, including Xuanyuan Ze and Ling Shan.

The lecturer was Bai Xuzi.

Everyone was sitting cross-legged on meditation mats, waiting for Bai Xuzi.

As soon as Bai Xuzi appeared, he directly posed a question to everyone: What is martial arts?

"The path of martial arts can be smooth for some, rough for others, but ultimately, what is martial arts? Can any new students elaborate?"

Bai Xuzi said with a smile, his attitude exceedingly gentle.

At this moment, a freshman stood up and said, "Master, in my opinion, martial arts is power. When power reaches its peak, that is the pinnacle of martial arts."

"Very well, you may sit down."

Bai Xuzi waved his hand, signaling the student to sit. Then another student stood up and said, "Master, I believe that martial arts is not merely about power. Martial pursuits and natural laws, only by truly mastering both can one push martial arts to its pinnacle."

"A group of shallow people, no wonder their strength is so weak."

Suddenly, a mocking voice echoed, and Xuanyuan Ze stood up and said, "Master, I have my own perspective."

"Go ahead."

Bai Xuzi calmly said, noticing Xuanyuan Ze standing up.

"The so-called martial arts is nothing more than exploring the mysteries between heaven and earth. The more we uncover, the higher our cultivation in martial arts becomes. When we truly grasp the mysteries between heaven and earth, we will naturally have reached the pinnacle of martial arts."

As Xuanyuan Ze spoke, the hall was abuzz with astonishment. They hadn’t expected Xuanyuan Ze to have such profound insights.

"No wonder Xuanyuan Ze ranked fourth in the freshman competition, he has such a deep understanding of martial arts."

"Indeed, exploring the mysteries between heaven and earth is martial arts. But then, what is the heaven above the Ninth Realm? Is there truly a deity? All of this remains unknown. Only by mastering these can one attain absolute power."

"That should be the legendary Immortal Emperor Realm."

Hearing the murmurs among the crowd, Xuanyuan Ze wore a proud smile as he glanced at Ling Shan, with a hint of showing off.

As for Bai Xuzi, upon hearing Xuanyuan Ze’s words, he was quite surprised. An Immortal Class Realm martial artist having such profound insights into martial arts was unexpected.

Afterwards, many students shared their understanding of martial arts, yet nearly all could not break free from Xuanyuan Ze’s perspective.

"Ye Mo, do you have nothing to say?"

Bai Xuzi finally asked Ye Mo who had remained silent.

"Master, you asked me what martial arts is, but I cannot comprehend. Over a hundred fellow students have given their interpretations, and each is different. It’s not that their understanding is flawed, but that everyone’s martial arts is different. The pursuit of martial arts differs, and the higher one’s vision, the higher the extreme they pursue. Some people cannot even advance to the Immortal Position Realm, while others can become Immortal Emperors. This is because the martial arts they pursue differ."

Ye Mo calmly said, "And I believe that martial arts has no pinnacle. There are no ultimate martial artists, only stronger ones. Even if you spend a lifetime pursuing, possessed of unparalleled martial talent, you cannot chase the pinnacle of martial arts."

Ye Mo’s words silenced the hall; the pinnacle of martial arts is no pinnacle at all.

"Ye Mo, what nonsense are you spouting? Martial arts with no pinnacle, you do not understand the power of Immortal Emperors."

Xuanyuan Ze immediately retorted.

"For us, Immortal Emperors are indeed powerful. But when you truly stand at the Immortal Emperor Realm, you might realize that even Immortal Emperors are insignificant. However, with your aptitude and understanding of martial arts, I think you will never reach the Immortal Emperor Realm."

Ye Mo gave him a glance and said calmly.

"Remarkable, remarkable. Ye Mo’s perspective aligns with our elder’s. When he lectured us, he gave the same answer: the pinnacle of martial arts is no pinnacle at all."

Bai Xuzi finished speaking, looking at all the freshmen in the hall, and said, "This is the first concept I want to convey to you today, what martial arts are, and Ye Mo has given you the answer."

Throughout the lecture, Bai Xuzi aimed to make the students understand what martial arts is, but without saying anything himself, Ye Mo had given everyone the answer.

"Alright, this concludes today’s class. Gradually comprehend the essence of martial arts, which will greatly benefit your lifelong cultivation. Next, focus on your cultivation, as the Hall of Five Elements will open for those new Immortal Position Realm students for a month. I hope you all gain something from it."

With that, Bai Xuzi waved his hand and vanished from sight.

"Haha, Ye Mo, no wonder you have such potential, you have such a profound understanding of martial arts."

"If there is anything I don’t understand in the future, I will seek your guidance."

Many freshmen expressed courtesy towards Ye Mo again. Although Ye Mo did not achieve good results in the freshman ranking battle, his understanding of martial arts far surpassed theirs.

Watching this scene, Xuanyuan Ze’s face twitched fiercely, giving Ye Mo a venomous look before leaving the hall directly.

A month later, if Ye Mo hasn’t comprehended all the Five Elements Laws, Xuanyuan Ze would ensure Ye Mo learns the consequences of offending him.

The Hall of Five Elements at the Immortal Martial Academy is specifically where Immortal Position Realm students comprehend the Five Elements Laws; using the hall can help students avoid many detours in comprehension.

However, the opportunity to enter the hall is granted only once and is limited to one month, as per the academy’s rules.

After class, Ye Mo headed directly to the Hall of Five Elements. His goal was simple and clear—to utilize this month to comprehend all the Five Elements Laws and then use the Great Desolation Pill to break through to the Immortal Class Realm, fully mastering the power of the Five Elements Laws.

Ye Mo walked a path, and before him rose a majestic hall.

Looking up at the hall, Ye Mo’s face showed an expression of awe, for he could sense the entire hall emanating the fluctuations of the five laws, those five fluctuations mutually generating and restraining each other, seamlessly integrated yet distinctly separate.

At the top were the three ancient and majestic words "Hall of Five Elements," exuding a touch of desolation, evoking a sense of time and history.

Undoubtedly, the grand hall before him was the Hall of Five Elements.

At this moment, many freshmen were already pouring into the Hall of Five Elements, all eager to use it to comprehend the complete Five Elements Laws.

Without hesitation, Ye Mo followed the crowd and entered the Hall of Five Elements.
