975 Martial Inten

Under the guidance of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, Li Yunmus soul strength and physical strength advanced. Afterwards, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu also tempered his speed in order to make him the most powerful person in the immortal world.

By then, Li Yunmu had been tormented greatly by Heavenly Emperor Ryukyus methods, but at the same time, his combat strength had increased by leaps and bounds. It could be said that Li Yunmu could even battle against a heavenly emperor with his new power.

But he was still somewhat lacking when compared to Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu at his peak. It has to be known that in ancient times, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu could wipe out all the heavenly emperor realm powerhouses of the immortal world.

And the thing that Li Yunmu lacked wasnt physical, like strength, for it could be increased through training. There was one other thing which couldnt be taught using the sane method, and it was intent.

What was intent?

Regardless of whether one was cultivating or sleeping, their mind and spirit could reach the state of unity, so real and ethereal would be in harmony.

A person could transcend all the real skills and stop being limited by their movement. Such a persons every move, every attack would look unhurried and in complete harmony with heaven and earth, as if there was no ultimate move but rather each movement was a powerful technique.

Intent wasnt something which could be cultivated in a single day or night. It relied on ones comprehension of the martial path. The more thorough the comprehension, the more powerful ones intent would be.

It didnt have a material existence or limits. Swords had sword intent, blades had blade intent, so regardless of which path one cultivated, all of them led toward intent.

The effect of intent toward advancement of cultivators was enormous. In a battle between a sword user possessing sword intent and a sword user not possessing sword intent, the victor would be clear from the start. That was how formidable intent was.

But Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu wasnt worried about the lack of time. If Li Yunmu couldnt cultivate intent because he didnt have sufficient cultivation or time, he could be made to sit tight for a longer time. The true worry for Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was that Li Yunmus dao and intent may not be possible to integrate.

The cultivation of intent depended upon whether true harmony could be achieved between ones cultivation method and the world, which allowed them to gain the approval of heaven and earth. Only after obtaining the intent from the approval of heaven and earth could ones cultivation be considered as a success.

However, the problem was that Li Yunmu hadnt discovered his dao. From the time he started cultivating, he had been doing things in the same manner, which was in defiance of heaven.

If heaven wanted him to kneel, he wouldnt kneel. If heaven wanted him to die, he wouldnt die. The reason why Li Yunmu hadnt been successful in cultivating his own path was because the path he walked rejected the authority of heaven and earth, and it was called heaven defying dao!

Li Yunmus dao didnt confirm with heaven and earth.

As for the dao intent, someone like him whose dao didnt confirm with the natural laws became automatically unable to cultivate intent. It was the reason why Li Yunmu was stuck in the great principal golden immortal realm for so long.

Without dao being successful, intent couldnt be produced. This was precisely Li Yunmus problem right then and the reason behind Heavenly Emperor Ryukyus worries.

It wasnt that there werent any heavy defying people in the ancient times, but cultivating the heaven defying dao meant contending against heaven and earth. However, how could a mere mortal contend against the might of heaven and earth?

Thus, those people were ultimately unsuccessful in their cultivation and perished, which was the reason why when Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu sensed that the dao cultivated by Li Yunmu was the heaven defying dao, he became extremely worried.

The problem could only be solved if Li Yunmu destroyed his cultivation base and started from the beginning; otherwise, he would still have to contend against the might of heaven in the end.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu believed that cultivation relied on oneself, so he informed Li Yunmu about his apprehensions. Li Yunmu would have to settle them himself.

After Li Yunmu heard the worries of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, he began to ponder over them. But the next second, he stood up and made a decision.

What heavenly law? If it wants to obstruct me, then I will destroy this heaven!

When Li Yunmu said those words, the presence of a breakthrough around his body amplified. But in the void, no heavenly punishment could descend.

But at that moment, the heavenly law had placed Li Yunmus name on the list of must-kill targets. As long as he walked out of the small world, heavenly punishment would descend on him.

Li Yunmu had already attained the peak of great principal golden immortal realm, so it could be said that if he came out alive after experiencing the heavenly punishment, he would become an emperor level powerhouse.

Unlike a quasi emperor like the Yin Emperor, he would be a true emperor realm powerhouse. Furthermore, when the teachings of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu were also counted in, the day when Li Yunmu became emperor, he would be unparalleled in the emperor realm.

But if Li Yunmu couldnt withstand the heavenly punishment, he could only leave the stage, or in other words perish. No one could change this outcome, not even sovereign realm powerhouses.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu couldnt interfere in these matters either. In any case, how could the mortals like them resist the punishment of heavens?

Alright, since you have made your decision, I will not stop you. But your present foundation isnt sufficient, and will become a source of danger when you contend against the heavenly law. In the coming days, I will assist you in cultivating your foundation to the pinnacle!

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu saw that Li Yunmu had already made his decision and was aware that he couldnt assist him. But he still was going to do his best to help his pupil.

When Li Yunmu heard the words of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, he solemnly nodded and stood up. He retreated two steps while facing Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, then went on his knees and kowtowed. He heavily knocked his head against the ground three times.

Li Yunmu had never knelt before heaven or earth. He had only knelt in front of his parents, and at that moment, he knelt in front of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu. In a short period of two years, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu had spent a lot of time on him.

Because of that, Li Yunmu had chosen to acknowledge Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu as his master. A master is like a father, so Li Yunmu was willing to lower his proud head in front of him.

When Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu saw Li Yunmus actions, he was extremely moved. He knew Li Yunmus temperament: even if he was in his peak state, he couldnt make Li Yunmu kowtow unless Li Yunmu was willing.

So how could Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu not be moved? At that moment, he once more experienced human emotions after spending hundreds of years by himself in the void and decided that Li Yunmu was his inheriting disciple.

Respectful master, requesting you to accept this disciples kowtow!

After Li Yunmu knocked his head against the ground, he spoke in a loud voice. Anyone who heard it could sense his respect for Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu.

Good! Good! Good!

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu praised him repeatedly, then helped him stand up.

Right then, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu needed to seize every moment. He had already used a large amount of his strength, and his soul couldnt maintain itself for very long. But in order to assist Li Yunmu, he was willing to use the time he had to teach everything he knew.
