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.

Does that mean LB was ignorant when she said it would take atleast millions of years for Wu Heir to reach godhood? She doesnt miss the opportunity to hammer us down. I guess it just drives the point home that everyone is completely clueless about the potency of Wu Heir's unique circumstance. From everything we've read so far, i cant imagine becoming as strong as say Bohai in 5 years time and Chao in probably half of that.

Yes that's exactly it, LB is ignorant, she is not lying, she is ignorant. I think Nicky confirmed that but I could be wrong.

No one truly understands how many advantages we have, how powerful COP is, how incredible a superior godchild is (I doubt LB has ever met a godchild and even she has we are the most supreme godchild), what spells, insights, cultivation manuals TW put in our dao seed, he could have even put his divine miracle. Remember that we not just anyone's godchild, we are the godchild of someone who reached the peak of body cultivation resulting in the highest grade essence forming our body, someone who had the body dao and COP, resulting in our body being the most perfect construct anybody could have.

Only someone with a powerful body refining physique whose body was enhanced by incredible amounts of immortal and divine grade alchemy in addition to insane resources comparable to a divine clan could surpass us in body cultivation. If we had help from immortal or divine grade alchemy, We could further increase our body talent.

If you think Bohai is strong then let me tell you that Yue Yan while being the Shangtian equivalent of cultivation can fight two stages above her own. If Yichen is a 5 in strength then Yue Yan is a 10000 in strength, CF has an average power range of 1-9, NS has an average power range of 100-900 then Yue Yan is a 10000 in strength. We mog her in talent so bad, it's not even funny. When we get to core formation, we will not be weaker than Yue Yan.

Wu Heir is just so severely hindered in this barren wasteland that it gives the impression that he will not fold the greatest geniuses of the universe like laundry. Our Qi Core is so monstrous that just breathing and living like a lazy bum in the celestial realm would get us to godhood in record time, TW's Qi Core was hot garbage btw and he still reached godhood in 6 million years, which is a rounding error for the sovereign who has lived for several trillion years.

B*tch could have given us a Nirvana grade manual but chose to skimp out because she couldn't understand how much better than her we are.

I swear, you sound like someone who's been banned from the POMA Discord. At the very least, like someone who's been muted or received warnings.

Not that it's an insult, it's just that there are only three types of optimistic Discord users and MC supporters there: those who spoke up and got attacked, those who stay quiet or only speak up every now and then, and this guy

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

We both know the reason for that one lol it was one of his excuses he gave to not write the sequel which actually backfired since if mc doesn't take a million years to get to godhood that's even better we can just have a super action packed sequel lol and people said so since then he has pivoted again to the other side.

Mc would clearly take a million years but that would still be 5 times faster than TW and again the chances are very low not because mc lacks talent but because of other factors from people scheming against you , heavens scheming against you , foolishness from your side too like fighting someone who is too much for you during that time and many other factors that could ruin it.

That said even if mc took 1000 years or 1 million years it doesn't matter much the story could have easily been an arc and then time skip ofcourse bigger time skips for the million one but nobody here really expects niki to write each year even if the wu heir reaches godhood in 100 years niki would be doing time skips lol mc's "three year" martial journey had over 2 years of coma lol.

So yeah that's just Nikolai coming up with excuses to why the Way heir wouldn't work in the end tho he relented and pretty much said he just doesn't want to write Wu heir the other story in nikiverse he showed where the mc is already evil as hell is what he is interested in basically making an established personality for his mc.Niki prefers evil MC's that said supposedly you could actually redeem that mc too.

In the end the matter of fact remains all of this ends at NS which is a pity
We could have gotten a full saga from nothing to godhood.

Book 1 could have been being born to leaving poma ending at NS
Book 2 would be from NS to reaching true Immortal.
Book 3 would be From true Immortal to Godhood.

Each book having a clear theme and they would be big books.

There are few more guys like him now but he is the og lol I talk to him from time to time. At the very least the discord isn't as bad for Wu support now with some other guys also just saying what they want because they also have shangtian tier patreon. Before most of the big patreon folks couldn't care less about how wu heir is perceived.
