Before him was an old jujube red wooden door, exuding traces of years past. Its surface densely covered in veins, like a door made of flesh and blood, stood blocking the mountain path.
Lu Chenzhou saw thousands of indistinct tenacious figures, who with bodies tempered a thousand times and wills that never faded, smashed through the door, laughing heartily as they passed.
Beside his ears, it seemed that countless bold and unrestrained voices arose.
"Innate Realm, at last I have arrived, haha!"
"What constraints, they are nothing!"
"The peak of Martial Arts, wait for me!"
"Master, your disciple has reached the Innate realm!"
"Chief of Tiger King Valley, was here!"
These voices, as if they really existed, transcended the constraints of time and space, like the Heavenly Heart Mark, like the bright moon in the sky, have echoed from ancient times till now. Lu Chenzhou listened intently, an indescribable power inspiring his body, heart, and will.
Boom... the bell of Wutai Mountain tolled.
Suddenly a sound as grand as a great vow came:
"Li Lingkong wishes to transform like the Elephant Form, rise from the mountains and tread the sky!"
Lu Chenzhou was shaken to his core.
This voice, it seemed to be Ling Kong Shangren, who had entered the Dao and passed away.
Though the sages are dead, their wills endure.
Suddenly, atop Wudang Mountain, another spirited voice thundered: "Still is the Star Lord from heaven, indeed a Martial Immortal from the human world! Seeking Martial Arts in one life, becoming immortal for all eternity!"
This was the voice from humanity’s first Absolute Peak.
One after another, deafening voices arrived.
Until a dragon’s roar broke through the clouds, a domineering phrase sang across the eastern skies:
"The way of the Martial Arts is boundless, my body unchained!"
Lu Chenzhou’s eyes were excited yet complex.
"Cangtian Dragon King... so it was."
Lu Chenzhou closed his eyes, he was accumulating his own Spirit.
"With all the cultivation insights I possess!"
"With all the endless sweat from my hard training!"
"With my unyielding spiritual will!"
"With my infinite pursuit of Martial Arts!"
Behind Lu Chenzhou, unknown when, a golden ferocious tiger appeared. It calmly looked toward the door, lowered its head, and Lu Chenzhou rode on its back. The tiger continuously backed away, backing up... At a certain moment, it stopped, and howled towards the sky.
One by one, stars lit up above the wilderness, adding up to 30 dazzling stars, forming a giant right hand that could cover the sky and sun. It was the power of the Acupoint!
It was the infinite potential of humanity!
Humans need not depend on external gods.
I am the god, I am the Martial Arts!
The giant tiger turned into a streak of light, with Lu Chenzhou standing on its back. He stepped back, pouring out all his Spirit, and threw a punch as powerful as a spear, piercing through ancient and modern times!
Below the wild sky, a black giant tiger descended from heaven.
It merged with the golden tiger,
Lu Chenzhou threw the strongest punch ever in history, together with the giant tiger, smashing into the door of flesh and blood, and then... effortlessly shattered it!

Nor any difficulties!
Just like that, naturally, as it should be!
Lu Chenzhou turned around and looked back, gazing at the wilderness beyond the mountains, seemingly seeing countless Martial Arts pioneers cutting through brambles and thorns, forging a path through the wilderness.
They were envious, emotional, or resentful...
They had long vanished in the river of time.
But their Martial Arts Will never dissipates.
Their descendants, like Yu Gong moving mountains, with seemingly frail human bodies, inch by inch, forward, forward... ultimately smashing through the ancient door! It was their successive footsteps that formed the path of Martial Arts for later generations!
Thousands of voices in symphony.
Suddenly enlightened, Lu Chenzhou laughed heartily towards the sky.
Emulating the ancients, he also produced his strongest sound of Martial Arts: "Heaven and earth as my teacher, mountains and rivers as my friends, the sun and moon as my companions... Martial Arts is not alone, and my path is not solitary!"

The last phrase, originally from "Analects," but Old Tian modified it based on the first web novel I got hooked on, "Devouring Starry Sky," seems like the big shot Fang Qi was also reading this book, and had read the previous "Wizard."
(I made a mistake, memories from over a decade ago got mixed up, as reminded by readers, that phrase was from "Star Transformation"... well, as long as everyone likes it, all is well.)
Every time I think of this, I also get a bit excited. (*^▽^*)]
