After asking around, Ye Mo finally found the hall he was assigned to. Most of the people there were from the Fairy Spirit City, including Xuanyuan Ze and Ling Shan.
The lecturer was Bai Xuzi.
Everyone sat cross-legged on the cushions, waiting for Bai Xuzi.
As soon as Bai Xuzi appeared, he threw a question at everyone – what was the Martial Dao?
"On the path of the Martial Dao, some people walk on a smooth path, while others walk on a bumpy path. But what exactly is the Martial Dao? Can any new student explain?"
Bai Xuzi said with a smile, his attitude extremely amiable.
At that moment, a new student stood up and said, "Master, I believe that the Martial Dao is strength. When strength reaches the extreme, it is the peak of the Martial Dao."
"Very well. Sit down."
Bai Xuzi waved his hand and gestured for the new student to sit down. Following that, another new student stood up and said, "Master, I believe that the so-called Martial Dao is not purely strength. The so-called Martial Dao is the Martial Dao, and the Dao is the Dao. Only by truly mastering both can one truly cultivate the Martial Dao to the extreme."
"A bunch of vulgar people. No wonder they are so weak."
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out. Xuanyuan Ze stood up and said, "Master, I have my own opinion."
"Speak!"
Bai Xuzi said faintly when he saw Xuanyuan Ze stand up.
"The so-called Martial Dao is nothing more than exploring the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth. The more you explore, the higher your Martial Dao cultivation will be. When you truly grasp the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth, you will naturally reach the peak of the Martial Dao."
As Xuanyuan Ze spoke, an uproar broke out in the hall. They didn't expect Xuanyuan Ze to have such an opinion.
"That Xuanyuan Ze is indeed worthy of being the genius who obtained fourth place in the Freshmen Ranking Battle. So he has such a deep understanding of the Martial Dao."
"Yes, exploring the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth is the Martial Dao. What is the Heaven? Above the Nine Heavens, there are real gods. Everything else is unknown. Only by mastering everything can one grasp absolute power."
"That should be the legendary Immortal Emperor Realm."
Hearing the whispers of the crowd, a proud smile appeared on Xuanyuan Ze's face. He looked at Ling Shan, who was beside him, with a hint of flaunting.
As for Bai Xuzi, he was also shocked when he heard Xuanyuan Ze's words. He never expected an Immortal Class Realm cultivator to have such a profound understanding of the Martial Dao.
Following that, many students expressed their own understanding of martial arts, but almost none of them were able to jump out of Xuanyuan Ze's comments.
"Ye Mo, don't you have anything to say?"
Bai Xuzi finally asked Ye Mo when he saw that Ye Mo hadn't said anything.
"Master, you asked me what the martial dao is but this student also has no answer. There are already over a hundred senior and junior brothers who have given me their own insights and all of them are different. It's not that their understanding is wrong but rather, it's because everyone's martial dao is different and the martial dao they pursue is also different. The higher one's horizons are, the higher the limits of the martial dao they pursue would be. There are some people who can't even break through to the immortal realm while there are some who can become immortal emperors. This is because the martial dao they pursue is different."
Ye Mo said calmly, "In my opinion, there is no limit to the martial way. There is no strongest fighter, only stronger fighters. Even if you pursue it your entire life and possess unparalleled talent in the martial way, you will never reach the pinnacle of the martial way."
Ye Mo's words silenced the entire crowd. The pinnacle of the martial way meant that there was no pinnacle.
"Ye Mo, what nonsense are you talking about? There is no pinnacle in the martial way. You don't understand the power of the Immortal Emperors."
Xuanyuan Ze immediately retorted.
"For us, the Immortal Emperors are indeed very powerful," Ye Mo said calmly. "But when you truly stand in the Immortal Emperor Realm, perhaps you will understand that the Immortal Emperors are still very insignificant. But, with your talent and understanding of the martial way, I think you will never be able to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm."
Ye Mo glanced at him and said calmly.
"That's right, that's right," Bai Xuzi said. "Ye Mo's understanding coincides with senior's. When he gave us a lecture in the past, he gave us the same answer. The pinnacle of the martial way means that there is no pinnacle."
After speaking, Bai Xuzi looked at all the new students in the hall and said, "This is the first idea I want to impart to all of you today. What is the martial way? But Ye Mo has already given you the answer."
After speaking for so long, Bai Xuzi only wanted the students to understand what the martial way was. But, he didn't say anything, and Ye Mo had already given everyone the answer.
"Alright, today's lesson is over," Bai Xuzi said. "Take your time to comprehend the true essence of the martial way. This will be of great benefit to your cultivation for the rest of your lives. Next, all of you have to cultivate well. The Five Elements Hall will be open to the new students in the Immortal Realm for a month. I hope all of you will benefit from it."
After speaking, Bai Xuzi waved his hand and disappeared on the spot.
"Haha, Ye Mo, no wonder you have such great potential. It turns out that you have such a deep understanding of the martial way."
"If there's anything I don't understand in the future, I'll have to ask for your guidance."
Many of the new students were once again polite to Ye Mo. Although Ye Mo didn't achieve a good result in the ranking battle, his understanding of the martial way was far superior to theirs.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Ze's face twitched violently. He gave Ye Mo a venomous look before leaving the hall.
After a month, if Ye Mo hadn't comprehended all of the five elements, Xuanyuan Ze would let Ye Mo know the consequences of offending him.
The Five Elements Hall was a place in the Immortal Martial Academy specifically for students in the Immortal Realm to comprehend the five elements. With the help of the Five Elements Hall, the students would be able to comprehend the five elements with fewer detours.
However, students only had one chance to enter the Five Elements Hall, and they could only comprehend it for a month. This was a strict rule of the academy.
After class, Ye Mo headed straight for the Five Elements Hall. His goal was simple and clear. He wanted to use this one month to comprehend all of the five elements. Then, he would use the Great Desolate Pill to break through to the Immortal Realm and completely control the power of the five elements.
After walking for a while, a majestic hall appeared in front of Ye Mo.
Raising his head to look at the hall, Ye Mo's face revealed an expression of surprise. He could feel the waves of the five types of laws emanating from the hall. These five types of laws were mutually reinforcing and restraining. Even if they were fused, they were still distinct.
At the top of the hall were the three ancient words "Five Elements Hall," emitting a hint of desolation, giving off a feeling of age and vicissitudes.
Without a doubt, the hall in front of him was the Five Elements Hall.
At that moment, there were already many new students rushing into the Five Elements Hall. All of them wanted to use the Five Elements Hall to comprehend all of the five elements.
Without hesitation, Ye Mo followed the crowd and entered the Five Elements Hall.
