Chapter 5256

As Charlie skimmed through the first chapter of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity, he realized it was a complete introductory mental method that taught practitioners how to start from scratch and improve their martial arts skills. It emphasized the importance of perceiving one's own dantian and meridians, and how to transform true energy through exhalation in order to break through the meridians and increase one's strength. Back when he had given Aurora the "Four Elephant Boxing," Charlie had known that it was only effective in improving a warrior's combat abilities. It wasn't a true cultivation method that could enhance one's overall strength. At the time, he had yet to fully master the "aura" and hadn't delved too deeply into the various martial arts techniques recorded in the "Apocalyptic Book." But now, with his memory of the book and his enhanced understanding of the aura, Charlie realized that the Great Way of Harmonious Unity was the truly perfect martial arts method. It taught practitioners how to breathe out and transform true energy to gradually improve their strength, break through their limits, and eventually reach the level of a master. Once a martial artist reaches the Great Perfection of the Grandmaster Realm, they can begin the final stage of their martial arts journey. This final stage is the gateway to mastering the aura. Only by completing this stage can a martial artist hope to fully master the aura and reach new heights of power and strength. If the Mystic Harmony Patriarch had obtained a complete copy of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity, his sect could have produced masters in the Dark Realm, Transformation Realm, and even Grandmaster Realm who were proficient in the aura. But unfortunately, all he had was the first chapter of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity, which was far from enough to achieve such a feat. As Charlie pondered the situation, a thought occurred to him. "If I were to give Master Vail the second chapter of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity, his cultivation base would skyrocket, and he could enter the Dark Realm with his own strength." He couldn't help but feel frustrated at the fact that Master Vail had too many distracting thoughts, preventing him from making the most of the opportunity to practice the Great Way of Harmonious Unity at the Elys-Champ Hot Spring. Still, this only strengthened Charlie's resolve to bring Master Vail under his command. After all, Master Vail had been practicing the first chapter of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity for years, and had accumulated a wealth of experience. If he were to pass on this knowledge to others, he would undoubtedly be able to help them master the technique in the shortest time possible.

As Charlie weighed his options, he couldn't help but compare Master Vail's experience and knowledge with his own. He realized that by working with Master Vail, he could bridge the gap between the past and the future, and save a lot of time in the process. As long as Master Vail was willing to work for him, Charlie would not hesitate to reward him handsomely. Working together, they could not only obtain the complete Great Way of Harmonious Unity but also cultivate a large number of masters in this powerful martial art. However, Charlie didn't share these thoughts with Master Vail. Instead, he simply tossed the few pieces of paper back to him and asked casually, "Where did you get the paper and pen out here in the wilderness?" Master Vail quickly explained, "I had a little brother on the side of the road run errands for me from the internet, Master Wade." Charlie snorted in contempt, his expression turning serious as he spoke. "Your Great Way of Harmonious Unity is far from complete. It's just the beginning." Master Vail looked puzzled and said, "But in the Mystic Harmony Sect, we have collected many martial arts methods, although they are all fragments. Only the Great Way of Harmonious Unity is a complete mental method with a clear beginning and end!" Charlie smiled dismissively and asked, "What is the essence of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity?" Master Vail replied without hesitation, "It's a martial arts mental method, of course!" Charlie rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Let me tell you something, the essence of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity is Harmonious Unity. Do you even know what that means?" Master Vail furrowed his brow, pondering for a while before finally admitting, "I think I've heard of it. It's a general term in Taoism, but its meaning isn't exactly clear..." Charlie shook his head and spoke with authority, "Harmonious Unity is the primordial chaos that existed before the world was divided, the source of all life. The ultimate goal of the Great Way of Harmonious Unity is to guide practitioners towards Tao with martial arts, and ultimately master the power of Harmonious Unity." He gestured towards the paper in Master Vail's hand and teased, "You've written about breathing techniques and meridian breakthroughs, but there's no mention of Harmonious Unity. It's like having a book titled 'Principles of Power Generation in Thermal Power Plants', but only having content on how to dig coal. It's hardly the full story, is it?"
