Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 687 - 235: Holy Land Heavenly Sect Martial Saints Banquet, Lu Changsheng Erases a Mountain Peak from 100 Miles Away, Shocking All 8 Martial Saints!
"The force of all beings can also be understood as the momentum of all beings."
"The multitude of beings may seem incomparably weak as individuals. However, when they gather together, when their spirits unite, and when their strength is directed as one, even mortals can move mountains, or even reshape the heavens and the earth. This is the momentum of all beings!"
"As long as you, my friend, govern a major force, you will naturally obtain the momentum of all beings. Then you can gradually accumulate it, or expand your influence to garner an even greater momentum, which you can use to refine the Sacred Body."
"This is why, after martial artists forge the Sacred Body and ascend to become Martial Saints, they often either join an established force or create one themselves. It is because the cultivation of the Human Saint’s martial arts must rely on the momentum of all beings."
Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.
The momentum of all beings!
In truth, the concept had already been explained quite clearly.
The momentum of all beings, the force of all beings, the unity of the will of all beings—these are all referring to the same idea, just with different names and terms.
Martial arts and the immortal path are completely different.
The immortal path emphasizes comprehending the heavens, the mountains, and the rivers, attuning oneself to the Heavenly Dao, prioritizing transcendence and detachment from the mundane world.
The immortals stand aloof and unreachable.
But martial artists are different.
Martial artists come from the mundane world, battling heaven and earth. "Humanity" is the very foundation of martial arts.
They must rely on the momentum of "all beings" to become stronger.
"Lu, my friend, you established the Holy Land Heavenly Sect early on, making you essentially the founding patriarch of the sect."
"In fact, you already possess the momentum of all beings through the Holy Land Heavenly Sect; you just have not yet realized it."
"Allow me to teach you a technique to sense the momentum of all beings. Though a rather rudimentary one, it will suffice to allow you to perceive its presence."
Thus, Li Zhenggang taught Lu Changsheng the method.
Lu Changsheng learned very quickly.
Once he had mastered the method, he immediately attempted to sense the momentum of all beings.
In that moment, Lu Changsheng truly felt it.
A black-and-red glow emerged around his body.
The light continuously grew more intense, gathering from all directions.
Yet, how long it would take to significantly increase the radiance, he did not yet know.
This was the momentum of all beings!
To be precise, it was the momentum of all beings that Lu Changsheng, as the founder and patriarch of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect, possessed.
No, not just that of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect.
There was also the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect and the North Region Heavenly Sect.
At present, with the three major Heavenly Sects, Lu Changsheng’s prestige was at its peak.
Now, the momentum of all three Heavenly Sects was nearly fully gathered in Lu Changsheng’s body.
Compared to Li Zhenggang, it was in no way inferior.
Indeed, the momentum of all beings was even grander.
After all, the Holy Land Heavenly Sect was recently established; like the rising sun, it held endless potential.
Everyone carried a profound sense of confidence.
The momentum of all beings naturally thrived.
Meanwhile, the Li Clan, or the Li Chamber of Commerce, had recently clashed with the Black Light Chamber of Commerce and had been suppressed.
This caused their momentum of all beings to be significantly diminished.
In this ebb and flow, there was no real comparison.
"Refine."
With a thought, Lu Changsheng refined the momentum of all beings into his Sacred Body.
Even with only a small amount refined, Lu Changsheng keenly felt that the Sacred Body had undergone a subtle transformation.
Although it was not immediately noticeable.
Nevertheless, the changes were undeniably headed in a positive direction.
Lu Changsheng took a moment to sense the process, but a slight frown crept onto his face.
He noticed that as soon as the momentum of all beings was refined into the Sacred Body, it was rapidly depleted.
Yet, the transformation it brought to the Sacred Body was minimal.
In fact, without careful observation, it was impossible to discern any progress.
The speed—or rather, the efficiency—was far too low.
"Li, my friend, using the momentum of all beings to enhance the Sacred Body seems... exceedingly slow?"
"At this rate, even over decades or centuries of accumulation, I’m afraid there won’t be significant improvement, let alone a qualitative breakthrough."
Lu Changsheng inquired further.
He had keenly sensed some challenges inherent in the Human Saint cultivation method.
It was simply too slow!
The inefficiency was maddening!
Li Zhenggang chuckled and said, "Seeing you, my friend Lu, also discontent with the slow progress of Human Saint cultivation puts my mind at ease."
"Haha, just joking. With talent and brilliance like yours, my friend, if even you find the process this slow, then it seems the rumors about the Human Saint realm are true—it is unrelated to talent or comprehension. Everything depends on the momentum of all beings."
"Either you continuously expand your influence—growing your force, your population, and thereby increasing the momentum of all beings."
"Or, you can govern your followers and heavily promote martial arts, ensuring everyone trains in martial arts and becomes a powerful martial artist. In doing so, the momentum contributed by each follower could match or even exceed that of tenfold or a hundredfold compared to ordinary individuals. In this way, you greatly enhance the *quality* of the momentum."
"Expanding territory adds pure *quantity*. Cultivating stronger individuals under your banner improves *quality*."
"You can pursue both approaches simultaneously, or focus on just one."
Lu Changsheng became contemplative.
Now he finally understood why there was a need for Holy Lands to exist.
In fact, a Holy Land, in a certain sense, is also a form of the momentum of all beings.
It embodies *quality*.
Within a Holy Land, every disciple and every martial artist is an elite among elites.
Each individual might possess the equivalent strength of tenfold, hundredfold, or even more compared to ordinary martial artists.
Across generations of accumulation, martial artists within a Holy Land undoubtedly progress far more smoothly in the Human Saint realm compared to other Martial Saints.
Loose cultivators face the greatest difficulty.
The support they gain from other forces provides only a scant amount of the momentum of all beings.
