Actually, the theories of both sides do not conflict, each theory has its own merit.
However, this theory reminded Lin Mo of the difference between the Qi Sect and Sword Sect of the Huashan Sect. It is known that in the vast Cultivation World, not a few people dual cultivate magic and martial arts, but the final result is often ending in futility. Cultivating anything requires immense energy and focus, avoiding being scattered and unrefined. Even if a peerless genius simultaneously cultivates martial arts and magic, ultimately he won't achieve great success in both. Moreover, the energy and money consumed in cultivating both are unimaginable.
"Hehe"
Lin Mo's mouth curled into a smirk. If cultivating magic and martial arts cost so much energy, time, and even wealth, it would grow at a geometric rate. Even a large Sect would probably dare not cultivate more than three such talents, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo shook his head, dispelling the miscellaneous thoughts from his mind.
He continued to read and comprehend the tome in his hand. This tome was not considered a deep Secret Technique, more like an explanatory text, probably planning and elaborating on the Martial Artist mindset.
The first Realm in martial arts cultivation is the Star Wheel Realm, Moon Wheel Realm, Sun Wheel Realm, allowing the Martial Cultivator's body to constantly absorb cosmic energy, constructing their own energy system.
"No wonder Senior Fang said he just embarked on the path of martial arts cultivation. This Star Wheel Realm is just the beginning, and there are many more classifications, astonishingly, Sun and Moon Wheel is just the start; there are more like Marquis and Martial King Realm, each Realm having various detailed divisions."
At this moment.
In the Nine Continents Secret Realm, like a mirror, the lake surface approximately the size of twenty football fields, four figures stood in the void above the lake.
"Vermilion Bird, has that expert you spoke of arrived?"
A light and graceful voice sounded, the speaker was a woman about thirty years old, with fair skin, tall stature, yet her face was as icy as the eternal ice and snow of the Himalayas, giving a cold and unapproachable feeling.
"He's reading in my Martial Arts School." Fang Tangjing grinned widely.
The speaking woman named Wu Yingxi, dressed casually in a shirt and jeans, her eyes held two cold gleams.
Beside her was a man with a beard, looking around forty years old, dressed in camouflage, arms folded, expression stern, named Wu Jinfeng. They were representatives of the military stationed in the Qilin Martial Arts School of the Nine Continents Secret Realm, and also siblings.
"Is his strength greater than yours?" Wu Jinfeng's voice was resonant, speaking while glancing at Lin Mo.
"I don't know, I haven't fought with him, but his aura is strong, if not stronger than mine." Fang Tangjing smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, the other three people's expressions slightly changed. Fang Tangjing's strength was known to all, a Star Wheel Mirror powerhouse, had already ignited the first star within, yet said Lin Mo was even stronger.
Immediately, the three of them resumed their composure.
"Humph!"
"He's a formidable character; my disciple almost suffered loss at his hands." The last person, a middle-aged man with long black hair, coldly snorted.
The black-haired man wore a Zhongshan suit, with a sharp and intense gaze, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a faintly powerful aura emanating from him, though he deliberately restrained it. The black-haired man was precisely Liang Yuan, the Master of the Green Dragon Martial Arts School, also Luo Danhua's disciple. In the Green Dragon Martial Arts School, Luo Danhua was a genius among geniuses, considered a candidate for the next Star Wheel Mirror powerhouse, yet almost got killed by Lin Mo in Jiangzhou, naturally leaving Liang Yuan
somewhat displeased.
"Old Liang, don't be upset. If I hadn't appeared in time to save your disciple, he would likely be dead. I think you should give me a top-grade spiritual stone as a thank-you fee." Fang Tangjing laughed heartily.
"Keep dreaming!"
Liang Yuan's face slightly changed, snorting coldly.
"Alright, let's talk business. Two years ago we entered once, except for Fang Tangjing, everyone else could only stay at the First Level. Now, two years later, all three of us succeeded in advancing to the Star Wheel Realm; we should have the strength to venture to the Third Layer or even the Fourth Layer."
Wu Jinfeng said slowly, his words made everyone also collected the smiles on their faces, gradually showing solemn expressions.
"The Third Layer should be fine, but the Fourth Layer I think is still somewhat risky." Fang Tangjing furrowed his brow and said.
"No matter what, we always have to try. This time if Lin Mo joins us, the four of us together should be no problem." Wu Yingxi said slowly.
"Alright, one month later, we will venture into the Prison Tower again." Liang Yuan was concise and succinct, finished speaking, his whole person transformed into a golden light flying toward the Eastern Mountain.
"See you in a month."
Wu Yingxi and Wu Jinfeng also instantly transformed into two red lights heading toward the Western Mountain.
"All of them are Martial Madness." Lin Mo couldn't help but mutter, his whole person also transformed into a white light flying toward the Southern Mountain.
After flipping through the books in the Scripture Collection Pavilion, Lin Mo only gained a general understanding of martial arts; as for other cultivation techniques, elixirs, cultivation methods, Lin Mo really didn't have much regard.
"Senior Fang."
Lin Mo had just walked out of the Scripture Collection Pavilion when he saw a white light descend from the sky, standing at the hall's doorway.
"Xiao Mo, I happen to have something to discuss with you." Fang Tangjing strolled up with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Ten minutes later, Lin Mo frowned and said: "Senior Fang, are you saying there's a Prison Tower beneath the lake's center?"
"Yes, two years ago I went down to investigate, that Prison Tower has a total of nineteen layers, extremely vast, it truly surprised me then. However, there are some demon beasts and evil spirits causing trouble within the Prison Tower. With my strength at that time, I barely made it to the Second Layer, retrieving a few spirit stones and one Starlight."
Regarding spirit stones, since Fang Tangjing and the others could find the Cultivation Sect's relic sites, naturally knew about the existence and use of spirit stones. But that Starlight, Lin Mo found unfamiliar… "Starlight is a name I came up with myself. After absorbing the Starlight, it can help condense Star Power within oneself. I relied on that one Starlight to enter the Star Wheel Mirror Realm." Fang Tangjing did not conceal this, as bringing Lin Mo to the Nine Continents Secret Realm was naturally to have him assist. Not telling him now, he would eventually learn at the Prison Tower.
