Chapter 40: The Art of War

s his distance from the Du family siblings, just so people wouldn't know they are acquainted.Dumu Xing waved his hand dismissively and smiled, "We don't mind""We're not someone you can just mess with....With a thought, the sword script appeared before the two of them.

"There are countless paths in the world, yet they all converge into one. Each path may appear different, but they are ultimately the same."

Fang Chen's comprehension of the Sword Scripture wasn't entirely bestowed by the Heavenly Demon Bone, but rather a true awakening and realization. The Heavenly Demon Bone played a supplementary role.

So, Fang Chen had a very genuine understanding of the Dao.

This is also why he is confident that he can awaken the Steel Tiger as well.

Although paths may differ, the fundamental principles are the same. One can gain insights into their own path by contemplating his writings.

After explaining the root of the great way, Fang Chen said: "First, feel the sword script in my words. Sense the origin of the Dao within it, and then integrate it into your martial arts."

Such a cultivation method is very common. Elders in the Tiān Wǔ Shen Zōng usually demonstrate their Dao Wen to others for contemplation during lectures.

But usually, hundreds or even thousands of people have the same realization, and you can't feel anything at all.

But feelings like this, one-on-one, are much better, kind of like having something all to yourself.

"Right. "

Fang Chen asked, "Since you want to comprehend the battle script, do you have any preparations"

"Yes!"

Gang Hu took out two jade slips and an ancient book from the package he had set aside.

He said: "These are about the War Word Texts! There is a detailed introduction and narration."

"Let me have a look, okay" Fang Chen asked, idly curious and wanting to see what it was.

Of course, Gang Hu gave everything to Fang Chen and then continued to ponder his swordscript.

Fang Chen first opened the ancient book.

This is written by a powerful individual who has awakened to the Tao of War. The top portion provides a very detailed explanation of the Tao of War writing.

The Chinese character "zhan" (而戰), meaning "to fight," also has many interpretations.

Even though the world is peaceful, forgetting about war will lead to danger.

War, attacking the body, but more importantly, attacking the heart.

> In war, courage is key.

Fang Chen discovered that the word "war" meant more to the heart than to the outside world.

"I see."

Looking and looking, Fang Chen unexpectedly had a faint feeling of enlightenment.

He immediately picked up the jade slip and began to read it.

Meanwhile, Gang Hu was lost in contemplation of Fang Chen's sword script, and the two practiced their respective arts in that way.

"So that's what Dao Wen is like. I've had some insights.

After looking for a long time, Gang Hu finally had some insights and gradually became excited.

He is confident he can comprehend and write a poem when he reaches the Innate Realm!

"Huh"

Suddenly, he discovered that the sword script on Jianzidao Wen's side was faintly flickering.

Then the light transformed into a single character, the word "war"!

"Battle character The battle character way text!"

The steel tiger was instantly excited: "Could I have comprehended the battle-word scripture!"

"Haha! I"

He was about to burst into laughter, but then he realized something was wrong!

"Wait! How come that document is with Junior Brother Fang, and not on my side"

He looked more closely, and was suddenly stunned.

Only to see the battle character's inscription, it wasn't coming towards him, but towards Fang Chen.

This isn't where he comprehended the "Battle Script," is it This clearly came from Fang Chen's own understanding!

At this moment, he froze, staring fixedly at Fang Chen without even blinking.

At this time, Fang Chen also finished reading the last jade slip and sighed: "This battle word scripture is truly profound and unfathomable.

Immediately, he noticed Steel Tiger looking at him with a puzzled expression. "What's the matter Don't you continue your enlightenment"

The steel tiger remained silent, but instinctively raised a finger towards the character "war" in Wen's direction.

Fang Chen looked over and was also stunned.

"You've understood the meaning behind the character 'war'," he said.

Steel Tiger remained silent, and only then did Fang Chen realize that the battle script and sword script were placed side by side, clearly his own scriptures.

He stood there motionless, for a long time before he came to his senses. He then asked hesitantly, "Did I comprehend the Battle Character Dao Wen"

"You ask me Then who should I ask"

Steel Tiger jumped up, his face filled with indignation. He exclaimed, "Oh my god! This is the Taoist text I was trying to understand! I've been working on it for so long and couldn't figure it out. Those things I looked at for ages without comprehending them! He just glanced at it once! Once! And he understood it! How can this be It's simply too much!

Fang Chen was also dumbfounded. After he had just looked, he did indeed have some insights, and the Heaven's Dao Demon Bone also reacted.

But he only thought he had comprehended some of the principles of the Dao, but unexpectedly, he first grasped the "Battle" character Dao Wen!

He felt the might of the war-character scripture, and when he understood its power, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.

This battle-enhancing text literally means increasing combat power! But it can help Fang Chen increase his combat power by a whole small realm!

Don't underestimate the significance of even a small realm. When Fang Chen battles across realms, it can prove incredibly impactful.

"My Heavenly Dao Demon Bone, isn't it a bit too overpowered" Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Meanwhile, Gang Hu was still there grumbling and complaining, unable to accept this fact.

Fang Chen saw this and said with some helplessness, "Brother Gang, why bother. Since I've comprehended the Dao Wen of the word 'war', you can directly comprehend the word 'war' from me. You'll also be able to comprehend the Dao Wen of the word 'war' more quickly."

Gang Hu still looked utterly dejected. He stared intently at Fang Chen.

He considered himself a top genius. Even if he wasn't as good as the best in Tiān Yǔ Shén Zōng, he was at least among them.

But Fang Chen's appearance made him realize what it meant to be outshone by someone.

This is too amazing.

"If you were to reveal your talents, you would certainly be given priority cultivation by the sect. He said this with a hint of envy."

Fang Chen smiled faintly: "I want to stay on the Seventh Peak now. As for the sect's cultivation, let's talk about it later."

He then said, "Alright, continue your cultivation. I'll share my insights on the War Character Dao Wen with you. It will definitely be helpful to you.

Even the Steel Tiger could only nod and begin his cultivation.

Two days later, Gang Hu sat cross-legged in the center of the training ground. With Fang Chen's help, he made great strides in his understanding of the Zhanzi.

Although he couldn't fully grasp it, this was enough for him to cultivate for a month or two.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from Fang Chen's storage pouch.

Fang Chen's heart moved, and he took out the resonating object. It was a first-rank guest envoy token given by Wanxing Auction House.

After sensing something, I learned that the other party had something to look for me.

Just in time, entering the Realm of All Things will definitely be a fierce battle. I need to prepare well.

He did not disturb Gang Hu's cultivation, and after saluting he left heading towards the Wanxing Auction House.

Soon he arrived at the Wanxing Auction House. Elder Lu was already waiting outside. Seeing Fang Chen, he respectfully ushered him into the house.

It was still the highest grade living room. Yan QiaoLin in a golden cheongsam, with her long and white legs exposed, was as graceful and enchanting as ever, making people intoxicated.

Upon seeing Fang Chen arrive, she smiled and said, "Master Fang, you're here. Please have a seat."

Fang Chen bowed and said: "Mr. Yan..."

"May I ask what brings you to me, Mr. Yan"

Yan Qiaolin smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is still the first to greet as always. Since that's the case, I'll just be straightforward."

She clapped her hands, and three stunning maids appeared outside the door, each carrying a tray. The trays were covered with delicate cloths, obscuring whatever was inside.

Yan Qiaolin said, "These days, the people downstairs have purchased these three things. Although they can't see what they are, they all feel that these items are extraordinary, so they bought them back."

"The appraisers I have consulted with have also reviewed it, but they had difficulty discerning anything conclusive. So we've had to ask Fang Keqing for her opinion."

After finishing her words, she instructed a maid to lift the cloth.

Fang Chen looked over. Of the three items, two were medicinal herbs and one was a magic treasure.

The magic treasure resembles a shield, with evil ghost figures covering its top surface! Even Fang Chen could feel a strange energy emanating from it.

He could feel those evil spirits grinning menacingly at him, as if they were going to drag him into the shield!

Yann QiaoLin found it unsurprising that Fang Chen was interested in the shield.

She reminded him, "Fang Keqing, be careful. This shield is a treasure with growth potential."

"A growth-type magic treasure!" Fang Chen was a little surprised. Growth-type magic treasures were extremely rare.

It can continuously improve its own rank, just like a cultivator! Every growth-type artifact is invaluable.

"She nodded, but then let out a wry smile and said, “However, this magic treasure is somewhat…"

"Evil"

Yes, he will consume his master.Tianjiao Pavilion."Everyone, we're here."When they looked ahead, after crossing a mountain, a magnificent immortal sect appeared before them!Within the sect, a mystical aura permeates the air, with fa...
