Chapter 49 A Clue for What’s Next
Before their sparring match, Peng Hu-sang spoke.
“The Peng Clan doesn’t possess Upper Dantian Martial Arts. Or, to be precise, we don’t have martial arts that exclusively focus on the Upper Dantian.”
Namgung-woo had already surmised as much. If they did, they would have taught Peng Ye-ryeong by now, attempting to suppress the constantly opening Heavenly Gate early on.
“The Peng Clan hasn’t sought Upper Dantian martial arts knowledge because, until now, it simply wasn’t necessary. It’s certainly not because the Peng Clan is lacking.”
While it might have sounded like an excuse, Namgung-woo, standing before Peng Hu-sang to face his martial arts, keenly felt that these were no empty words. A suffocating pressure, as if his entire body was being constricted. Was this what an ordinary person felt when encountering a massive tiger in the mountains, before they had even begun cultivating martial arts?
The Peng Clan’s martial arts are a Divine Art. Why a Divine Art?
It’s because the Heaven and Earth Illusory Void Divine Art is an Internal Energy Cultivation Method that begins with the Lower Dantian, yet as one’s Internal Energy Cultivation Level deepens, it naturally encompasses the Middle Dantian and even the Upper Dantian. Compared to arts like the Muscle and Marrow Cleansing Scripture or the Yellow Emperor’s True Scripture, which cultivate all Three Dantians simultaneously from the start, it might be slower. However, it gained an unparalleled solidity by building upon the Lower Dantian as a firm foundation.
