Chapter 469: Ninth Rank of Martial Arts
However, he still had to do his best to handle the matter entrusted by the Sixth Prince. However, as the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. After Ah Fu learned that the only copy of the Twelve Brahma Sutras had been bought by someone, he thought about how to explain it when he returned.
"In reply to your Highness, the only copy of the Twelve Brahma Sutras has been bought by a man from Qingzhou. I have also sent someone to track him down, but he is no longer in the capital."
He searched for nothing. From the bottom of his heart, Ah Fu didn't want his master to touch this martial arts book.
Although the Sixth Prince had no talent for reading, and could not write a single word for poetry or articles even after thinking for a long time, he was very talented in martial arts.
At this moment, before the age of twenty, he has already reached the fifth level of martial arts, the bronze skin and iron bones realm. With the support of royal resources, he does not have to worry about the problem of cultivation resources. At this moment, he has already completed the fifth level of cultivation. He is stuck at the fourth level of nourishing the mind.
In this world, martial arts are divided into nine grades, with grade nine being the lowest and grade one being the highest.
From low to high, they are:
Ninth level: Refining essence;
Grade 8: Qi Refining;
Seventh level: Refining the spirit;
Level 6: Transformation;
Fifth rank: Copper skin and iron bones;
The fourth level: nourishing the mind;
Rank Three: Regeneration of Broken Limbs;
Second rank: supernatural powers;
First grade: Half-step to Martial God.
The first rank - the third rank above the third rank, also known as the extraordinary realm. When you reach the third rank, even the Daqian royal family has to give you some respect. If the royal family learns that someone in Daqian has broken through the third rank of martial arts, the first thing they will do is to win him over. Even if they don't want to stay in the capital, they will be sent out to the frontiers as the general of a state.
You know, the smallest of the Thirteen States of Daqian is larger than the Soviet Union of Blue Star before it collapsed. This is a lot of power.
After all, martial arts practice also requires resources. In the territory of Daqian, no one knows how to collect resources better than the Daqian royal family. Let alone the martial arts secrets collected by Daqian Taizu Zhao Wuji in the Martial Arts Pavilion, these independent practitioners and small forces can't collect even one percent of them in their lifetime.
Not to mention the various natural treasures on the road of cultivation. Which one doesn't need to be collected one by one? This is also the reason why so many people with high realms like to build their own forces, mostly to collect resources for themselves.
If you are unwilling to surrender to the Daqian court, as for these third-rank masters of martial arts, as long as you do not rebel and do not go against the court, everyone will just keep to themselves.
However, if you dare to incite the people and gather them to rebel, Daqian, which has been established for a thousand years, is not without means to deal with you. Daqian has been passed down for a thousand years, not relying on civil achievements, but military systems.
A third-rank warrior could regenerate a broken limb, and as long as he was not beaten to ashes on the spot, he still had a chance of survival. For such a being, it would be no problem for him to live for hundreds of years.
Not to mention the Daqian royal family, even the group of princes and nobles who followed Daqian Taizu to establish the country, during the past thousand years, there were also families with high-quality warriors who had never been cut off, and the first-class duke of Daqian had been inherited for thousands of years.
It all depends on the presence of this high-level warrior.
However, these people have been intermarried with the Daqian royal family for many years and have the same interests, so they can already be said to be an inseparable family.
The practice methods recorded in the martial arts version of "The Twelve Sutras of Brahma" that Liu Ping'an bought at the Daqian Martial Arts Pavilion are very similar to the current martial arts system, and one can practice it without spiritual roots.
The reason why so many geniuses died from training was because he needed to use the essence of the five elements to cleanse his body and build the foundation of martial arts. However, martial artists who were less than the third rank had not yet reached the realm of regenerating broken limbs.
Even if a warrior who has reached the fifth level of bronze skin and iron bones has completed the tempering of the whole body with true qi and blood, and the sixth level of transformation can accurately control every part of the qi in the body, he cannot withstand the impact of the five elements of essence on himself.
In the history of Daqian, there were third-rank warriors who tried to practice the "Twelve Sutras of Brahma", but according to the history of Daqian that Liu Ping'an had read in the past few days, not a single one of them left his name in the history book of Daqian.
There are two types of historical books in Daqian. One is the chronological style, which records various major events that occurred in Daqian year by year and month by month in chronological order. It is similar to the "Spring and Autumn Annals" written by Confucius. The other is a general history in the form of chronicles, similar to "Records of the Grand Historian".
However, Daqian's chronicle-style history books not only record figures who had a profound influence in various time periods, but also devote a separate page to the top three strong men.
Chronicle-style history books existed before the founding of Daqian. Of course, this may be related to the supremacy of force in this world. Even if you are cunning and have strategies, but you don't have the strength to subdue all the heroes in the world, no one will obey you.
This chronological history is said to be a new genre that emerged during the reign of Emperor Qianwu. Emperor Wu, who was born as a prince, was a direct descendant of Emperor Qian, but he was not orthodox after all, and he rose to power by clearing away the emperor's entourage.
He was overjoyed after discovering this new way of recording history, so he ordered the Hanlin Academy to revise the general history of the thirteen states, "The Biography of the God of War", and re-record it in chronological form.
It is divided into two volumes, the first volume records the events before the Daqian Dynasty. The second volume is dedicated to the history of the Daqian Dynasty. Now, this chronological "Daqian General History" is compiled by the Fifth Prince. Since the Fifth Prince has not yet been crowned as a king, he does not have the title of King Jing like the Sixth Prince. In other words, the Fifth Prince, the frail and sickly brother of King Jing, is responsible for compiling it.
However, the first page of the revised chronicle-style general history, "The Legend of the Martial God", records the glorious deeds of Zao Wou-Ki, the founder of the Qian Dynasty. It is also accompanied by beautiful color illustrations. The Emperor Qianwu on the second page is even better than Zao Wou-Ki, the founder of the Qian Dynasty.
Liu Ping'an had reason to suspect that the people in the Hanlin Academy were taking the opportunity to flatter Emperor Qianwu's horse.
Liu Ping'an also read the biographies of these two people, but the last part - death at the age of 99 - made Liu Ping'an confused. You know, these two were both first-class warriors, half-step martial gods!
How could he only live to be 99? Not to mention Daqian Taizu, but it is said that when Emperor Qianwu died, a second-rank warrior who was more than 200 years older than him and was his grandfather was still alive and well. This doesn't make sense!
Liu Ping'an was puzzled, but after looking through history books, he found that all the founding emperors in "Legend of the Martial God" were first-class warriors who were half a step away from being a Martial God, but none of them lived for more than a hundred years. This was a bit intriguing.
