Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1092 - 1159: Without Surviving Nine Deaths and Nine Lives, How Can One Master the Multitudes

"You don't seem happy to be my godson?" Xuanyuan Qing furrowed her brows and added, "This big city of Yanjing has a line of people wanting to be my godson stretching from Zhongnanhe to the Northern Suburb.""Uh, I know, I know." Lin Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling quite distressed.

Even though he knew Xuanyuan Qing's actual age, her appearance was still that of a sixteen-year-old little girl.

Thinking about accompanying Xuanyuan Qing shopping in the future and calling "Godmother" with all sorts of "special" gazes from the people around, Lin Hai felt his scalp tingle.

"Alright, eventually, you'll willingly call me godmother, I don't believe that dead beast will hide and not come out for the rest of his life." Xuanyuan Qing waved her hand impatiently, seemingly unhappy about Lin Hai not calling her "godmother."

Hearing the mention of his father's information in her words, Lin Hai's eyes brightened, and he quickly showed a sheepish smile, weakly asking, "Miss Qing, where exactly is my father now?"

Xuanyuan Qing glared at Lin Hai: "Why ask so much? You're too weak now, telling you won't help."

"Isn't there still you? You're so powerful." Lin Hai tried to fish for some useful information.

"Am I powerful? I'm just at a Legendary Peak level, that's all."

Lin Hai almost went crazy; sh*t, a Legendary Peak level, and she adds 'that's all'? How many Martial Path experts worldwide would have instant enormous psychological shadows?

He was just a Peak Supreme Strong, and already felt like a big deal.

As you know, the Legendary level is a national treasure.

"You don't understand; your world is just a normal ordinary person's world, a Supreme Strong is considered the tip of the pyramid." Xuanyuan Qing expressed with a "newbie" look.

"So what is considered an abnormal world?" Lin Hai asked.

Xuanyuan Qing looked at Lin Hai and asked, "Do you know what's above the Legendary level?"

Lin Hai nodded, "I know, it's the Human King level."

"Wrong!"

"Huh?" Lin Hai widened his eyes; that can't be wrong, scientifically speaking.

"Or rather, only half correct." Xuanyuan Qing paused and explained: "Actually, after reaching the Legendary Peak, there are two paths to face for the future. One is advancing to the Human King level, and the other is going down the True Immortal path."

"True Immortal?" Lin Hai had never heard of this concept, seems to have a mystical feel.

"Yes, True Immortal." Xuanyuan Qing nodded: "The Immortal title was actually created in ancient times after martial artists created Xuan Skills, then further created new cultivation techniques. Some believe Immortal Skills are stronger than Xuan Skills, while others think Immortal Skills are just supplements to Xuan Skills, not necessarily going farther."

"However, both True Immortals and Human Kings possess unmatched combat power."

Lin Hai curiously asked again, "So who's stronger, True Immortal or Human King?"

Shura, Kirin, and the instructor perked up their ears.

These were unheard of concepts to them.

Kirin was slightly better, knowing a bit about surpassing the Legendary level.

Shura and the instructor were like Lin Hai, completely taking the wild route, in their eyes, a Supreme Strong was really powerful, and anything surpassing that was godlike.

But now, Xuanyuan Qing's words made Shura and the instructor feel their entire worldview was fiercely shaken.

"Human King and True Immortal, each have their strengths and weaknesses." Xuanyuan Qing said.

Her cute eyelashes fluttered a few times as if thinking, Xuanyuan Qing continued: "I feel True Immortal is strong only temporarily; long-term comparison, still the Human King's comprehensive ability is stronger."

Lin Hai nodded, seemingly understanding.

So, above the Legendary level, besides Human King level, there's also True Immortal level, like someone reaching the end, only to find they're at a crossroads, with two paths ahead.

But what's the difference between a True Immortal and a Human King?

Lin Hai couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qing, is there a difference between True Immortal and Human King?"

"Yes, the difference is significant." Xuanyuan Qing said: "Learning Xuan Skills gives you the chance to reach the Human King level, do you know why?"

"Why?" Lin Hai felt like a diligent student, eagerly learning.

"Because all martial arts derive from Xuan Skills, so when you master a Xuan Skill, understanding it is akin to grasping all the kung fu in the world."

"For example, if you mastered palm-skill Xuan Skill, then all palm skills in the world are full of flaws in your eyes."

Xuanyuan Qing's words made Lin Hai suddenly realize.

"The path of the Human King is mastering Xuan Skills, reaching the peak, in your eyes all martial arts are illusionary, if you wish to break them, it's as easy as a flick."

Seemingly wanting Lin Hai to understand more intuitively, Xuanyuan Qing continued, "There's a saying that I think aptly describes a Human King's strength."

"What saying?" Lin Hai, Kirin, Shura, and the instructor all perked up their ears.

"If your hand still holds that knife, no one can withstand three moves from you."

"Simple, yet it exudes a kind of overbearing aura." Lin Hai commented.

Xuanyuan Qing nodded, "Every Human King level expert is unparalleled in might, seeing the world's mountains and rivers as nothing, king of kings."

"What about the True Immortal level?" Lin Hai curiously asked.

After all, the True Immortal level was even more unfamiliar to him.

"True Immortal masters Ancient Immortal Skills, which require enlightenment. For instance, I've mastered the Ice Heart Technique, which is an Immortal Skill. Understand it thoroughly, you can create your own Ancient Immortal Skill."

"There's no specific Ancient Immortal Skill, only enlightenment. Once enlightened, you'll have your own special technique, unmatched in strength, that can even kill a Human King level in special environments."

Xuanyuan Qing's words left Lin Hai and the other three deeply shocked.

In that sense, True Immortal is even more sh*t than Human King?

"Of course, a Human King can also kill a True Immortal level."

Xuanyuan Qing's added comment made Lin Hai and the others comprehend; it seems to depend on each one's wisdom and methods within the same level.

"However, a Human King is still stronger than a True Immortal level."

"For instance, my Ice Heart Technique, once understood, encompasses Gang Qi of the ice attribute, in cold environments, my Gang Qi effects greatly enhance, and its destructiveness is mightier than similarly skilled Human King levels."

Xuanyuan Qing explained what the so-called "special environment" meant.

"Does a Human King also have their advantages in their own special environment?" Lin Hai asked.

Xuanyuan Qing shook her head: "A Human King benefits in all environments, unless encountering a True Immortal level with ice attribute Gang Qi in cold environments."

Through these comparisons and analyses, Lin Hai thoroughly grasped why Xuanyuan Qing said Human King and True Immortal each have their strengths and weaknesses, it turns out to be due to the environmental factors.

"I think I'll choose the Human King for my future." Lin Hai thought and said.

Xuanyuan Qing praised, "Ambitious, but let me be honest, advancing to Human King is harder than stepping into True Immortal."

"True Immortal only requires enlightenment and luck, whereas Human King requires defying the heavens."

"To become a Human King, it's a nine deaths one life path."

Lin Hai became curious again, this is valuable experience; he has to learn well.

"What does nine deaths one life mean? It sounds dangerous."

Xuanyuan Qing sighed: "I don't understand either; these words were told to me by that dead beast back then, which is your father, otherwise I wouldn't have gone the True Immortal path."

"Uh..." Lin Hai didn't know what to say, since anyone who hears their father referred to as "dead beast" would feel as if a hundred thousand alpacas were stampeding past, back and forth, ahem.

"However, he also said something else back then, which is a supplement to those words."

"What words?" Lin Hai suddenly became curious again; his father's words sound really awesome.

"Without nine deaths one life, how to control all beings!"

Mighty, this sentence gives a feeling of unwavering determination and overbearing aura, defying the heavens.
