Ye Tian: "Human strength has its limits. You have all cultivated for decades, and my few words may not be of much help."
Huang Sandong said, "That depends on each person's destiny. It's best if there's progress, and if not, we've all made friends. It is our honor to get to know King Wu Ye."
Lin Ziyi, unable to join the conversation of martial artists, ate a little and asked Zhang Jiliang to take her back to the hotel.
After three cups of wine, the six of them gradually became familiar with each other. Shi Yong asked, "King Wu Ye, I feel your realm is very high. May I ask what stage you've reached?"
There was no need to hide such matters, so Ye Tian replied, "Inspiration Realm."
The others gasped. Huang Sandong exclaimed, "King Wu of Clear Mind! There aren't many Kings Wu of Clear Mind in the world today, are there? And you are so young, your future is truly boundless!"
Shi Yong looked envious. "Alas, I'm almost forty, and I still haven't figured out Qi Condensation. It seems I have no hope in this life."
Ye Tian had observed Shi Yong for a while. "Brother Shi, you haven't practiced any true cultivation methods. You can seek help from Daoist Master Taixu for this. As long as you learn to meditate, you will grow."
Daoist Master Taixu smiled. "King Wu Ye, I've also encountered a problem. Despite decades of arduous cultivation, I can never break through to the Spirit Refining realm. I wonder why?"
Ye Tian said, "True masters are born from the mortal world. Have you ever seen a martial arts master who achieved their skills in deep mountains and old forests? That's just a plot from novels. Looking at your complexion, your cultivation method should be fine. Your mind is too still. When the mind is too still, the spirit is not vibrant, and without a vibrant spirit, one cannot refine the spirit."
Song Fulong asked, "King Wu Ye, isn't it said that a quieter environment is more conducive to cultivation?"
Ye Tian replied, "If a person doesn't move or interact with others, they will eventually fall into extremes. Stillness is suitable for cultivation, while liveliness is for life. We humans have always been gregarious creatures since ancient times. It is difficult to achieve anything by separating oneself from the group."
Daoist Master Taixu felt as if he had been enlightened. He bowed deeply to Ye Tian. "King Wu Ye, your words have awakened me from my dream. Thank you!"
Song Fulong asked, "King Wu Ye, what about me? My home is bustling with people every day, so why can't I break through?"
Ye Tian said, "I've noticed that Master Song's qi and blood flow predominantly through the yang meridians and less through the yin meridians. This leads to an excess of yang and a deficiency of yin, an imbalance of yin and yang, which restricts your cultivation."
Song Fulong asked, "Why is that?"
Ye Tian replied, "It should be related to the Six Harmonies Heart Method you practice."
Song Fulong's eyes lit up. "King Wu Ye, I will personally visit you another day and ask for your guidance."
Ye Tian replied, "You are too kind."
Iron Buddha, who had been mostly silent, spoke. "It is very difficult to encounter a King Wu, especially a King Wu of Clear Mind. King Wu Ye, I would like to spar a few moves with you to discover my shortcomings in cultivation."
Unlike the other three, Iron Buddha had come to be defeated, hoping to find his weaknesses through a fight with a King Wu.
Ye Tian smiled. "Very well, I shall oblige you."
Everyone present became excited. To witness a battle between Kings Wu was a lifelong fortunate event.
Behind the restaurant, there was an open space with a dirt ground. At this moment, Iron Buddha stood there, appearing like a true Iron Buddha, unmoving as a mountain.
Ye Tian stood casually and smiled. "Master Iron Buddha, you may strike first."
Iron Buddha took a step forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly. He advanced like an iron mountain, striking Ye Tian's chest with his palm.
Ye Tian waved his palm and unleashed the Dragon-Breaking Hand. Their palms met, and Iron Buddha was sent flying like a withered leaf. He landed and retreated three steps, feeling his qi and blood surging, almost unable to suppress it.
In contrast, Ye Tian remained as calm as ever, his expression unchanged.
Iron Buddha said, "I am impressed!"
Iron Buddha was not skilled in evasion and movement techniques; his moves were all solid. After a few exchanges, Ye Tian found his strength to be immense, yet still no match for him. This was without Ye Tian employing any techniques; otherwise, he could have ended Iron Buddha's life in a single move.
After eight exchanges, Iron Buddha sighed softly and said, "King Wu Ye's strength is far superior to mine. Thank you for indulging me."
Ye Tian replied, "You are too kind. Master, your strength is also considerable, but you have too little combat experience."
Ye Tian himself did not have much combat experience, but he was well-versed in medical principles, which compensated for this deficiency.
