Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

Its probably dependent on a recessive trait. Take punnet square for example, we can use it to figure out the probabilty of genetic variance of a living being in a very basic level. I'd say the blood purity is a recessive genetic trait which TW formed after becoming a god. So higher blood purity means you possess the 'desirable trait' of a god. A person far off down their family tree can possess a trait lost over the years due to his ancestors marrying into different families. Say your great grandfather had red hair and great grandmother was a a brunette, dark hair is a dominant trait whereas red hair is recessive. Thus your grandfather was born with darker hair and your father was also born with dark hair.. Luckily or unluckily you manage to be born with red hair. the family's red hair skipped 2 generations. Its just probability. The red hair trait is always there, just very low chances of it becoming your forefront trait. Its the same with blood purity i reckon. Its all luck. Ruo having 98% doesnt mean he's more like TW, it just means he got lucky. That's not the case tho with Wu Heir, They are TW. What Wu Heir has from birth, the others prayed just for a drop of.

That's a very good way to think about it - nice.

I guess like @Arlonb the wording kinda made me a little annoyed. But since the Tangs are known to commonly have very high blood purity, and their only defining initial trait except the social factor of getting to choose who they marry more than even the other Great Clans by virtue of being the imperial family, is the fact that they are the only male line from TW and the Ancestral Blood Droplet.

So it's interesting whether it's actual genetics and luck or soul/godly shenanigans.

On another note, what do you guys think the grade of that body manual is? I’d guess that, considering Yuan Fang is probably from the Celestial Realm and that his goal was likely to find a body good enough for his manual, it must be at least a high Void or a lower Nirvana.

But of course, my opinion is that it’s listed as ??? in the game not because it’s an actual secret, but because Nicky wasn’t sure just how powerful a Nirvana Manual was supposed to be. Something like: "Depending on how the story and stat checks unfold, I'll say it's Void to justify the low stats, or that it's Nirvana to show just how impressive even a copy of one is."

Not really, although LB is stupid and needs to be pounded to gain some sense, about this at least Niki confirmed himself in the Tumblr.
Wu Heir would need millions of years to reach TW level. But as we're said to be able to reach it at record time/Our talent is undeniably above TW's probably we'll be faster than his 5,5mi of years.

PS: Something that could delay Wu Heir, for example, is try to master the Soul path through the Macro Mortal Realm and Immortality, something TW didn't.

I'm quite curious, what leads you to think it?

For me is a very logical conclusion for what TW said. Crudely, if Wu Heir can reach Foundation Establishment in six months without any help wouldn't be absurd for him to reach Core-Formation in a few years once he gain access to the necessary resources.

The millions of years statement to reach Godhood is way before Niki said that the reason why he can't make a Nikiverse sequel is that mc would be simply too overpowered and strong for it to work

Yan will only give us a void manual b2 so very unlikely for Shenjue to be Nirvana

Niki once said that if people with low BP breed enough with each other. Then there descendents would one day have 0 BP

Golden Ocean Foundation?

When you advance to foundation establishment, your body will form a natal star and your dantian with form a foundation. A prismatic natal star and Golden Ocean foundation are the best for body refining and qi cultivation respectively.

Yes, although the reasons for why(Why Wu Heir would be so overwhelming) were always present in the book.
Anyway, I think Niki is foreshadowing with Wu Heir saying things like reaching Godhood in a single millennia or the question if TW is truly dead being presented.
