Chapter 975
975 Martial Inten
Under the guidance of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, Li Yunmu’s soul strength and physical strength advanced . Afterwards, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu also tempered his speed in order to make him the most powerful person in the immortal world .
By then, Li Yunmu had been tormented greatly by Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s methods, but at the same time, his combat strength had increased by leaps and bounds . It could be said that Li Yunmu could even battle against a heavenly emperor with his new power .
But he was still somewhat lacking when compared to Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu at his peak . It has to be known that in ancient times, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu could wipe out all the heavenly emperor realm powerhouses of the immortal world .
And the thing that Li Yunmu lacked wasn’t physical, like strength, for it could be increased through training . There was one other thing which couldn’t be taught using the sane method, and it was ‘intent’ .
What was ‘intent’?
Regardless of whether one was cultivating or sleeping, their mind and spirit could reach the state of unity, so real and ethereal would be in harmony .
A person could transcend all the real skills and stop being limited by their movement . Such a person’s every move, every attack would look unhurried and in complete harmony with heaven and earth, as if there was no ultimate move but rather each movement was a powerful technique .
‘Intent’ wasn’t something which could be cultivated in a single day or night . It relied on one’s comprehension of the martial path . The more thorough the comprehension, the more powerful one’s ‘intent’ would be .
It didn’t have a material existence or limits . Swords had sword intent, blades had blade intent, so regardless of which path one cultivated, all of them led toward ‘intent’ .
The effect of ‘intent’ toward advancement of cultivators was enormous . In a battle between a sword user possessing sword intent and a sword user not possessing sword intent, the victor would be clear from the start . That was how formidable ‘intent’ was .
But Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu wasn’t worried about the lack of time . If Li Yunmu couldn’t cultivate ‘intent’ because he didn’t have sufficient cultivation or time, he could be made to sit tight for a longer time . The true worry for Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was that Li Yunmu’s ‘ dao’ and ‘intent’ may not be possible to integrate .
The cultivation of ‘intent’ depended upon whether true harmony could be achieved between one’s cultivation method and the world, which allowed them to gain the approval of heaven and earth . Only after obtaining the ‘intent’ from the approval of heaven and earth could one’s cultivation be considered as a success .
However, the problem was that Li Yunmu hadn’t discovered his ‘dao’ . From the time he started cultivating, he had been doing things in the same manner, which was in defiance of heaven .
If heaven wanted him to kneel, he wouldn’t kneel . If heaven wanted him to die, he wouldn’t die . The reason why Li Yunmu hadn’t been successful in cultivating his own path was because the path he walked rejected the authority of heaven and earth, and it was called ‘heaven defying dao’!
Li Yunmu’s dao didn’t confirm with heaven and earth .
As for the dao intent, someone like him whose dao didn’t confirm with the natural laws became automatically unable to cultivate intent . It was the reason why Li Yunmu was stuck in the great principal golden immortal realm for so long .
Without dao being successful, intent couldn’t be produced . This was precisely Li Yunmu’s problem right then and the reason behind Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s worries .
It wasn’t that there weren’t any heavy defying people in the ancient times, but cultivating the heaven defying dao meant contending against heaven and earth . However, how could a mere mortal contend against the might of heaven and earth?

Thus, those people were ultimately unsuccessful in their cultivation and perished, which was the reason why when Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu sensed that the dao cultivated by Li Yunmu was the heaven defying dao, he became extremely worried .
The problem could only be solved if Li Yunmu destroyed his cultivation base and started from the beginning; otherwise, he would still have to contend against the might of heaven in the end .
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu believed that cultivation relied on oneself, so he informed Li Yunmu about his apprehensions . Li Yunmu would have to settle them himself .
After Li Yunmu heard the worries of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, he began to ponder over them . But the next second, he stood up and made a decision .
“What heavenly law? If it wants to obstruct me, then I will destroy this heaven!”
When Li Yunmu said those words, the presence of a breakthrough around his body amplified . But in the void, no heavenly punishment could descend .
But at that moment, the heavenly law had placed Li Yunmu’s name on the list of must-kill targets . As long as he walked out of the small world, heavenly punishment would descend on him .
Li Yunmu had already attained the peak of great principal golden immortal realm, so it could be said that if he came out alive after experiencing the heavenly punishment, he would become an emperor level powerhouse .
Unlike a quasi emperor like the Yin Emperor, he would be a true emperor realm powerhouse . Furthermore, when the teachings of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu were also counted in, the day when Li Yunmu became emperor, he would be unparalleled in the emperor realm .

But if Li Yunmu couldn’t withstand the heavenly punishment, he could only leave the stage, or in other words perish . No one could change this outcome, not even sovereign realm powerhouses .
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu couldn’t interfere in these matters either . In any case, how could the mortals like them resist the punishment of heavens?
“Alright, since you have made your decision, I will not stop you . But your present foundation isn’t sufficient, and will become a source of danger when you contend against the heavenly law . In the coming days, I will assist you in cultivating your foundation to the pinnacle!”
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu saw that Li Yunmu had already made his decision and was aware that he couldn’t assist him . But he still was going to do his best to help his pupil .
When Li Yunmu heard the words of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, he solemnly nodded and stood up . He retreated two steps while facing Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, then went on his knees and kowtowed . He heavily knocked his head against the ground three times .
Li Yunmu had never knelt before heaven or earth . He had only knelt in front of his parents, and at that moment, he knelt in front of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu . In a short period of two years, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu had spent a lot of time on him .
Because of that, Li Yunmu had chosen to acknowledge Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu as his master . A master is like a father, so Li Yunmu was willing to lower his proud head in front of him .
When Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu saw Li Yunmu’s actions, he was extremely moved . He knew Li Yunmu’s temperament: even if he was in his peak state, he couldn’t make Li Yunmu kowtow unless Li Yunmu was willing .
So how could Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu not be moved? At that moment, he once more experienced human emotions after spending hundreds of years by himself in the void and decided that Li Yunmu was his inheriting disciple .

“Respectful master, requesting you to accept this disciple’s kowtow!”
After Li Yunmu knocked his head against the ground, he spoke in a loud voice . Anyone who heard it could sense his respect for Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu .
“Good! Good! Good!”
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu praised him repeatedly, then helped him stand up .
Right then, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu needed to seize every moment . He had already used a large amount of his strength, and his soul couldn’t maintain itself for very long . But in order to assist Li Yunmu, he was willing to use the time he had to teach everything he knew .
