Kapitel 7: With what strength(lI)
QinZhi might not find this alarming, but he did. Unlike him, she had just reached the peak of the 6th level in her martial arts technique, as for her movement skills, she could be said to have little competition, and without the panel, Li Xian wouldn't even compare to her. She didn't feel much from the shaking of the ground. But Li Xin's was sure something big was happening, considering the horses were already panicking.
He had to put in a lot of effort to calm them, before looking further ahead with a slightly interested expression.
Li Xian had been at the 7th level for more than a decade now, this was not a big deal, but the fact he was at the peak of this stage.
It was rare for him to be interested in anything, but at this moment he was more interested in what was going on in the distance. Other than his duel with the Demoness of the Black Lotus sect, he was uninterested in a lot of things.
Without even thinking much, he just continued to rub his hands on the horses back, looking intent into the distance. He had the urge to jumped up, using his movement skill. He could be able to see alot, but he still continued to move slowly ahead, until he reached a plain field.
The shaking on the ground has slowly stopped, but he feel the direction the rumbling originated from.
"Impressive"
He turned to look at QinZhi standing on top of a massive tree. She was excited from what she had seen.
"Young master! Someone just sliced a cliff off the slope. Can you do it?" She couldn't help but ask, after witnessing this scene.
"Here I thought you were well behaved and still sleeping yourself to death." He just responded casually to her actions.
Qin Zhi seemed offended appeared beside him at some point, clearly interested in the answer to her question. But he didn't seem to be willing to give that satisfaction. Knowing this, she changed the subject. She said, "Young master! It seems that we have a show to watch."
But Li Xin just looked at her before shaking his head. He looked into the distance, before saying, "overestimating oneself! When the difference in power is too much, quantity is no longer useful."
With his current strength, he couldn't see the situation in the distance, but could vaguely feel their auras. Clearly 6th level experts were besieging a 7th level expert at the insight stage.
He was right to say they where overestimating themselves. A few individuals at the 6th level were trying to overwhelm a 7th level with numerical advantage, was like a joke. Unless injured, this would not end well for them. How could Li Xin not know this clearly, he was not some newbie in the cultivation path. He has been in the 7th level for almost a decade.
He knew how great the difference between the two stages was. It was even possible for someone in the insight stage to fight those with a slightly higher level in the 7th stage than a 6th stage challenging the 7th stage.
It was rare for a 6th stage to defeat a 7th stage, and the requirements were not that simple to meet. Only a few people could meet this requirements and at the moment, he only knew of himself and Bi Yun, having accomplished it in the past.
But even so, how could it be simple, he even made a judgement that this might have been due to the Cultivation techniques they use. Forget Bi Yun, Li Xin made his technique from fusion of numerous techniques and in the end got the Mysterious Heavenly Scripture, but even so, he still isn't satisfied with it. How many can actually accomplish this, even Bi Yun the most talented person he has ever met has never dared to do this.
Qi Zhi looked over with confusion hearing his words, even though lazy, she liked to pay special attention when he talked about martial arts, only she didn't have this chance often.
She took the liberty to ask a question, "Why are you saying they are overestimating themselves? Has there never been a person with lower realm challenging a higher realm?"
Instead of answering, he looked at her deeply and said, "You have reached the 6th stage peak already, it is not a problem for you to know some things to avoid ending up doing something as foolish as those guys. Do you know why most people can't enter the 7th realm? Have you ever wondered why the exceptions to this rule were so strong?"
This was indeed an interesting topic and Qin Zhi willingly listened while shaking her head to the question.
"It's actually easy, lack of insight into their true nature! The seventh level, requires one to not only reach the perfection in their cultivation technique, but also start fusing their nature in the technique. In a way, it is best to temper the technique to match ones nature. But this is far from enough." He looked into the distance, seemingly thinking of something.
"After reaching the 7th level of technique, then one is a standing on a whole new level, but then another issues arises. The seventh stage has four levels. Each level is a big moat. Most of the experts are at the first level, insight stage. When you breakthrough to the seventh level you will be here. So is that old man." He turned to look into the distance, and pointed towards the man that had just sliced off a cliff, causing the ground to shake.
"Concerning the issue of weaker challenging the stronger, it also involves another matter altogether. It's about essence. The moment one reaches a higher stage than previously, the transformation is not very obvious but as realms become higher, you can feel it. For instance, when at the third level, and now at the 6th level, do you feel the difference in essence?"
The question indeed made QinZhi think about it, and was slightly confused. She didn't know what he meant and how this has even any impact on combat.
"The change from the 4th to the 6th stage is visible, due to accumulation from the 5 and 6 stages. But the 6th to 7th is different, it was a complete transformation, and the reason was the fusing of one's nature into their technique, affecting even the essence. The two are on different levels and ..." He wanted to continue talking about the change after this but stopped.
"And what?" She couldn't help it.
"The 7th level is divided into four stages with Insight being the first stage. Each results in a massive transformation, implying those at the peak of this stage have undergone four transformations. But even those at the first level at all, are not something 6th level can easily challange. Who gave them the audacity, with what strength are they ambushing the man?"
