Chapter 316: Anhui (5)
The Realm of Creation.
A realm where one commands the laws of nature at will.
If the pinnacle represents the limits of human potential, then the realm of transcendence can be seen as a state that surpasses humanity and reaches the level of a demigod.
To attain this state of enlightenment, three conditions are necessary; the North Palace Clan referred to them as the concepts of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
First, Ren (人).
This refers to the innate talents a human is born with.
Exceptional innate talent, excellent physique, and an unyielding will. All the talents required for studying martial arts— —fall under this category.
Earth is the foundation. It goes without saying that one cannot reach the highest realm through the Three Realms Mind Method and sword techniques alone. Just as mastering arithmetic as fast as a calculator won’t win you the Fields Medal.
Only the Divine Art of Martial Arts, embodying the principles of the great natural world, can lead one to the realm of the Fire Scripture.
Finally, Heaven is the destiny bestowed by the heavens.
Throughout martial history, countless warriors existed, and innumerable individuals possessed innate talent to master divine martial arts. Yet, only a select few among them ever opened the gate to the realm of the Divine.
It’s as if one cannot reach the realm without heaven’s permission.
The master who explained the concept of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity once said this:
‘Have you heard the saying, “The net of heaven is vast, yet nothing escapes it”?’
