59: Chapter 59 Martial Will

Ye Tian rushed to the residence of the Second Elder, Ye Wenshan, and recounted exactly as it happened the strange situation that occurred during his morning fist practice, as well as his similar experience when fighting the Double-Tailed Ringed Leopard in the Black Cloud Mountains.

After listening, Ye Wenshan's brow furrowed, and his expression became exceptionally serious.

Stroking his beard, he paced the room and muttered, "The situation you described... I seem to have seen similar records in some ancient texts, but it was long ago, and my memory is fuzzy. I can't recall the specific name for a moment..."

Ye Tian was anxious and couldn't help but urge, "Second Elder, please think carefully! This is very important to me!"

Ye Wenshan stopped, saw Ye Tian's anxious look, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and said, "I have it!

Although I can't remember, there is one person who has read extensively and knows a great deal about martial arts secrets and strange occurrences. He will definitely know!"

"Who?" Ye Tian asked immediately.

"Ye Daoqi, who guards the Martial Arts Pavilion!"

Ye Wenshan said with certainty, "Elder Daoqi has spent his life immersed in books. He has read almost all the ancient texts in our Ye Family's Library Pavilion. In terms of breadth of knowledge, no one in the clan can match him!

If you ask him, you will surely gain something!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes brightened: "That's right! How could I forget Elder Daoqi!"

He immediately bowed to the Second Elder: "Thank you for your guidance, Second Elder! This Disciple will go to the Martial Arts Pavilion right away!"

Without waiting for Ye Wenshan to say anything else, Ye Tian turned and rushed out like a gust of wind.

Ye Wenshan watched Ye Tian's disappearing back and shook his head with a helpless laugh: "This kid, as soon as it involves cultivation matters, he gets so impatient!"

Ye Tian moved quickly and soon arrived at the Martial Arts Pavilion.

This was his second time stepping into this place.

A year ago, it was here that he found that fragment of the Overlapping Wave Fist.

Looking at the simple and ancient pavilion before him, Ye Tian felt emotional, hoping he might have the chance to find the complete Cultivation Technique of the Overlapping Wave Fist in the future.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the pavilion.

A unique scent of old scrolls wafted toward him.

The light inside was somewhat dim, and several Ye Family Disciples were quietly browsing and selecting Martial Skills among the bookshelves.

Not far from the entrance, on an old rattan chair, Ye Daoqi, who guarded the Martial Arts Pavilion, was lazily reclining, holding a yellowed ancient book and reading it with great interest.

His hair and beard were completely white, his face was clear and bright, and he wore a white-gray robe, looking like an ordinary old scholar.

The moment Ye Tian stepped into the Martial Arts Pavilion, Ye Daoqi's lazy expression shifted slightly.

He didn't look up, but his keen perception had already captured the aura of the newcomer, which far exceeded that of ordinary Qi Gathering Realm Disciples.

"Hmm? This aura is thick and condensed, not like an ordinary Disciple. Could it be one of the Elders..."

Surprised, Ye Daoqi put down his book and looked up.

When he saw it was Ye Tian, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. He sat up straight and looked Ye Tian over with interest, saying, "Ye Tian?

How do you have time to come to my book pavilion?

I heard you're a prominent figure in the clan now."

Ye Tian didn't dare to be slow. He stepped forward and bowed: "Disciple Ye Tian greets Elder Daoqi.

The Elder overpraises me. This Junior has come today because there is something I don't understand, and I've come to seek your guidance."

Hearing this, Ye Daoqi's interest grew. He stroked his beard and smiled: "Oh?

Even the Clan Chief and the Second Elder value this little Genius. What could you possibly want to ask an old man like me who guards a pile of old papers all day?

Let's hear it."

Ye Tian kept a low profile and detailed the strange feeling of his body being out of control twice during battle, trying his best to describe that mysterious state.

At first, Ye Daoqi was somewhat casual, but as Ye Tian's narrative continued, his expression gradually became solemn.

He stopped talking and just listened quietly, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of the rattan chair.

When Ye Tian finished, Ye Daoqi fell into a long silence, his brow furrowed as if searching his mind intensely for something.

Ye Tian held his breath and watched him tensely, his heart full of expectation.

After a long time, Ye Daoqi's body suddenly jolted, and a light of surprise burst from his eyes. He stood up abruptly from the rattan chair, his voice trembling with excitement: "Martial Dao Will!

It's the embryonic form of Martial Dao Will!

Kid, you've actually touched the threshold of Martial Dao Will?!"

"Martial Dao Will?"

Ye Tian was stunned. This unfamiliar term left him a bit confused, but seeing Elder Daoqi so excited, he realized it was definitely something extraordinary!

Ye Daoqi paced back and forth excitedly, muttering: "That's right!

It must be so!

The body reacts perfectly before the consciousness, unleashing power that exceeds one's own limits of control!

This is when a Martial Artist integrates their Martial Skills, combat experience, and even their understanding of power, sublimating it into an instinctual Realm!

It's the manifestation of the initial combination of will and power!

It's the key to a higher level of the Martial Dao!"

He stopped abruptly and stared at Ye Tian with burning eyes: "Ye Tian!

You What does this mean?？

Ordinary Martial Artists, even those in the Ningyuan Realm or higher, may not necessarily comprehend Martial Dao Will!

This requires extremely high talent, deep accumulation, and a certain Opportunity!

You actually touched the edge while still in the Qi Gathering Realm!

Even though it's just an embryonic form, this... this is simply a miracle!"

Ye Tian was stunned by Ye Daoqi's series of excited words. As he processed the information, a storm surged in his heart!

Martial Dao Will?

The combination of will and power?

The key to a higher level?

Although he couldn't fully understand the deep meaning, he vaguely felt that this seemed to be a power far more profound and powerful than just increasing his cultivation Realm!

"Elder, this Martial Dao Will... how exactly should one Cultivate and master it?"

Ye Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked humbly.

Ye Daoqi took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself, and said solemnly: "Martial Dao Will is mysterious and profound; it can only be sensed, not explained in words.

It is not a specific Cultivation Technique, but a Realm, a state.

Ancient records state that to comprehend Martial Dao Will, one must hone their Martial Skills to perfection, accumulate combat instincts through countless life-and-death battles, have a deep understanding of the essence of power, and, more importantly, possess Comprehension Ability and Opportunity!"

He looked at Ye Tian with a complex gaze: "The battles you experienced before, especially the life-and-death training in the Black Cloud Mountains, have undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for you.

And that you could sense it in the Qi Gathering Realm, besides your hard work, is likely inseparable from your talent and some special encounters."

Ye Tian's heart stirred. A special encounter?

Could it be related to the chaos bead?

This was his greatest secret.

Ye Daoqi continued: "What you need to do now is not to deliberately pursue that state, but to continue building a solid foundation, deepen your understanding of Martial Skills, and engage in more combat with well-matched opponents.

In battle, use your heart to feel the flow of power and capture that feeling of selflessness.

When your accumulation is deep enough and your will is firm enough, that state will naturally come about and become more stable and controllable!"

"Remember, you must not rush!

The comprehension of Martial Dao Will cannot be forced, otherwise, it's easy to suffer Qi Deviation!"

Ye Daoqi's words were like a sudden enlightenment, opening a brand new door for Ye Tian!

The doubts and anxieties in his heart were now all transformed into understanding!

"Thank you for the guidance, Elder! This Disciple understands!"

Ye Tian bowed solemnly in thanks.

He finally knew that the mysterious state was not a bad thing, but a huge Opportunity on his path of the Martial Dao!

Afterward, Ye Tian bid farewell to Ye Daoqi and left the Martial Arts Pavilion.

He knew that for the road ahead, besides increasing his cultivation, he had to use his heart to sense that Martial Dao Will!

This would become an important cornerstone for him to step onto the Peak of the Martial Dao in the future!"
