After the morning had passed, it was time to give pointers to Ye Xiwen's moves in the afternoon.
"You can display all the martial arts that you're practicing now. Although I haven't practiced it, but martial arts have always been about mastering one method, and mastering one principle leads to mastering a hundred principles!" Old Ye said.
Ye Xiwen nodded. Except for the Devil's Wings and the 'Yuan Qi Ball', which couldn't be shown to the public, the others could also be shown to the public.
"Buried Sword Secrets"
"Flaming Blade"
"Shattered Star Fist"
"Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron"
"Severing Sky Finger"
…
Ye Xiwen demonstrated all of his martial arts one by one. Elder Ye looked at him without uttering a single word until Ye Xiwen finished demonstrating all of his martial arts. Then, he meaningfully looked at Ye Xiwen and said: "Ye Xiwen, you have learned a lot of martial arts, but each of them has been practiced by you to an extremely profound level. This is absolutely a miracle for someone of your age. I think you should have some other secrets!"
Generally speaking, the martial arts that a martial artist learned were generally of the same origin. For example, if the martial artist learned a blade technique at the beginning, then the martial arts he would learn in the future would also be a blade technique. This way, it would be easier to practice, and it would also be easier to practice to the extreme.
It was precisely because the lifespan of a person was limited. In other words, no one had infinite time to waste. How to improve the cultivation to the highest level in a limited time had become the focus of everyone's attention.
Generally speaking, specialization was also the best method. Even the most talented heaven's pride experts couldn't fully understand all martial arts. They could only use the method of understanding one principle to understand a hundred principles.
However, Ye Xiwen's martial arts were quite disorderly. Moreover, there was no relationship between the previous martial arts and the later martial arts. In other words, the martial arts that he learned before and after might have no relationship at all.
An ordinary person would've been confused if he had been in Ye Xiwen's shoes. Ye Xiwen had never learned any finger techniques in the past. But now, he had to learn a top-level heaven level martial art like Sky Severing Finger. It was simply impossible for an ordinary person to do this.
All martial arts were like this. It needed to be learned step by step. If one didn't understand the foundation of finger techniques, how could he learn such a top-level martial art?
However, Ye Xiwen had the mysterious space. Even if he didn't have the foundation, he could still forcibly learn it.
"Elder Ye …"
"You don't have to say anything. It's normal for them to have secrets. Those peerless geniuses are all arrogant and unruly. They have had many fortuitous encounters, so it's normal for them to have their own secrets. The clan won't investigate them one by one. As long as they're not targeting the clan, it's fine!" Elder Ye interrupted Ye Xiwen's words at this time. He didn't care about Ye Xiwen's secret. Generally speaking, which genius of the Ye Clan didn't have his own secret? "If it's an ordinary person, my suggestion would be to give up on learning miscellaneous things and focus on one of them. Be it sword art, blade art, fist art, palm art, or finger art, any one of them is profound. If you can learn any one of them to the peak, you'll be invincible in the Ancient Barrens Continent!"
Ye Xiwen didn't refute. He understood the principle of the Three Thousand Great Ways.
"However, you're different. I realized that although the martial arts you've learned are miscellaneous, they're also very refined. I can see that your talent isn't that kind of spiritual energy. I think you have other secrets, so I won't say much. Although I don't know how you've learned and mastered these martial arts, I also realized that your foundation isn't good enough. It seems that your understanding of the most basic parts of these martial arts isn't good enough. Although the foundation seems unremarkable, it's the most crucial and fundamental thing for any martial arts. A tall building starts from the ground, and the foundation must be strong enough to withstand it." Elder Ye said, "So, in addition to guiding you on the main points of these martial arts, I will also guide you on the most basic parts. Although you already have some foundation, it's still far from enough!"
"At this stage, let's talk about sword arts first. I realized that among so many martial arts, your understanding of sword arts is the deepest. The sword is the gentleman among all weapons. This sentence truly describes the essence of sword arts. A true sword cultivator must move forward with indomitable will. No one can stop you from moving forward. You must have the courage to break through everything. This is also the reason why a gentleman is fearless!" As Elder Ye spoke, he suddenly coughed violently. His face turned red, and he coughed out some blood.
"Elder Ye, are you okay?" Ye Xiwen immediately asked nervously.
"I'm fine!" Elder Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's just an old problem. When I was young, I also experienced many fierce battles and left behind a lot of internal injuries. It was fine when I was young, but when I really reached the Angel's Decay stage, all of them broke out. However, it only looks serious. It won't take my life for a while!"
Ye Xiwen looked a little sad. This was also the fate of all warriors. When they were young, they fought in all directions and were awe-inspiring. However, the accumulated internal injuries would all break out when they were old.
When they were young, they didn't take care of their bodies. When they were old, their bodies would take revenge.
"So, you can't follow in my footsteps. The internal injuries in your body will only be more than mine. If you don't get rid of them, they will become your fatal flaw when you reach the pinnacle in the future!" Old Ye looked at Ye Xiwen and said in a serious tone.
At this time, Ye Xiwen seemed to really understand, but he also didn't understand. Reach the peak, what did Elder Ye mean?
"I really don't have much time left. I thought that I could only silently wait for my death. I didn't expect that I would be able to cultivate a hero for Ye family before I die. My wish is enough!" Elder Ye smiled and looked calm. He didn't have the slightest fear of impending death.
For him, the Angel's Decay stage might have started hundreds of years ago, and he should have gotten over it long ago. This was completely different from suddenly facing death.
Ye Xiwen's expression was somewhat sad. Although today was the first time he had seen Ye Lao, but he still had a very good impression of Ye Lao. Seeing that Ye Lao was thinking of cultivating outstanding talents for the Ye family even before his death, Ye Xiwen thought of the old head of Yi Yuan School, who had been struggling for thousands of years, and even in the face of Angel's Five Decays, he had used a secret technique to seal his own vitality, only hoping that he could help Yi Yuan School at the most critical time.
With this remnant body, he burned his last journey!
The silk of a spring silkworm will be exhausted until death, and the tears of a candle will dry when it turns to ashes!
"What's there to be sad about? I have lived for thousands of years. What haven't I obtained? What haven't I enjoyed? I've been awe-inspiring. I've been down and out. I've obtained everything. I've held a high position of power. I've also lost everything. Relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms. Now, I'm the only one left who is still struggling for life!" Old Man Ye said with a look of relief, "I've gained everything and lost everything, so it doesn't matter anymore. Isn't life like this? Gain and lose, this is the common sense of life. It's just that I haven't been able to reach the peak and see the truth of immortality. This old man is still a bit unwilling. In the future, it all depends on your generation!"
Ye Xiwen sighed and didn't comfort him. Elder Ye was so open-minded and open-minded that he didn't need to be comforted.
"Well, it's precisely because I don't have much time left that I must teach you as much as possible. Your innate talent isn't the most outstanding I've ever seen. In fact, you should be the most ordinary just by looking at your appearance. However, you have something that others don't have. You have a tenacious heart. The Ye family will have to rely on you in the future!" Elder Ye's complexion gradually returned to normal.
Then, he continued to explain some basics of swordsmanship to Ye Xiwen.
Elder Ye deserved to be called the former top expert of the Ye family. The way he looked at martial arts was completely different from Ye Xiwen's level. Although it was the simplest thing, he could explain the most profound truth.
Every word was like a gem. Every word was like a golden jade. An ordinary person wouldn't have the opportunity to listen to such a profound explanation even if they wanted to. However, Ye Xiwen had such an opportunity now. He had only listened for an afternoon, but he suddenly felt that his understanding of swordsmanship had almost reached a new level.
In the past, Ye Xiwen had always lacked such a systematic understanding. He had been practicing more than theory. Now that he had made up for this shortcoming, his progress was so obvious that he could feel it all the time.
In this way, the explanation of swordsmanship continued until the evening. Ye Xiwen finally ended. Although he was somewhat reluctant to get out of this state, he also knew that there was still a long way to go. He really couldn't be anxious.
Then, Elder Ye directly took away Ye Xiwen's Eight-Treasure Universe Cauldron and began to boil it on the spot.
Ye Xiwen added a series of the most precious medicinal herbs at a dazzling speed. Suddenly, the soup in the Eight-Treasures Universe Cauldron started to boil, and a group of unusual flames started to burn under the Eight-Treasures Universe Cauldron.
The temperature during the process was unknown.
"Your Eight-Treasure Universe Cauldron is very amazing. It should be a top-level heavenly level magic tool. I once saw it in a senior's personal letter. It was obtained from the treasure house. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands!" Elder Ye said with some emotion. He was erudite and had a broad memory. He had dabbled in the Ye family's information that could be made public and could not be made public. With his identity and strength, the Ye family naturally didn't need to keep any secrets from him. "It is impossible for an ordinary medicinal cauldron to withstand the boiling of my unusual flames!"
In this Eight-Treasure Universe Cauldron, Ye Xiwen actually saw that those medicinal herbs had directly manifested. They had manifested their appearance when they were alive. Many of them were glowing with vitality.
At first glance, it was obvious that they were extraordinary!
"This is an ancient recipe that I have in my hands. It is extremely beneficial for your body tempering!" Elder Ye said, "Jump in a moment. You will have to soak in it for more than twelve hours every day!"
"Ye Xiwen, get out of here!" Just when Ye Xiwen was a little worried, a loud shout came from outside the secret territory.
