Canglan Slaughtering Martial Record

Canglan Slaughtering Martial Records (Chinese Martial Arts Worldview)

I. Global Positioning

In the authentic world of Chinese martial arts, there is no flying or teleportation, no immortality or supernatural powers. Martial artists rely on internal energy as their foundation, capable of splitting rocks and cutting wood, leaping through the air, and defeating enemies from a hundred paces away. Top grandmasters can cleave cliffs with a single sword strike and awe an entire province. The martial world rivals the nine dynasties, with martial arts surpassing royal power.

In this world, martial arts are extremely monopolized. High-level techniques are all privately kept by sects and families, and low-level martial artists are trapped in rudimentary martial arts for life, their realms are solidified, and there is no way to advance. This is the biggest stage for the protagonist's cheat ability.

II. Martial Arts Realms (Nine Levels, Three Stages, Clear Gradients)

Mortal Martial Realm (Lower Level Martial Artist)

1. Bone Forging: Physical strength surpasses that of ordinary people, with a strength exceeding a thousand pounds, reaching the level of a martial arts fighter or a city defense soldier.
2. Qi Refining: Internal Qi is generated in the dantian, which can be used to activate rudimentary martial arts techniques; a standard skill for third-rate martial artists.

Spiritual Martial Realm (Master of the Martial World)

3. Breath Condensation: Internal energy is condensed, allowing for leaping and bounding through the void; a core skill of the outer sect of a sect.
4. Opening the Meridians: With all meridians open, internal energy flows freely, making one a top-tier martial arts master.
5. Neutralizing Force: This ability allows one to project internal energy outwards, injuring others from a distance. Such a person can establish dominance in a region and gain some renown.

True Martial Realm (Top-tier combat power in the martial arts world)

6. Condensing Essence: Internal energy transforms into true essence, resulting in a significant qualitative change in physical body and endurance, making one a sect leader or a dynasty general.

7. Return to Origin: True essence is perfected, allowing for the improvement of techniques. Suitable for sect elders and powerful figures.

8. Grandmaster: The pinnacle of mainstream power in this era, a sect-protecting or nation-defending expert, capable of dominating an entire state.

9. Martial Venerable (Legendary Ultimate Realm): Remaining unseen for hundreds of years, with only a handful of powerful and experienced individuals remaining in the world. They rarely enter the mortal realm and do not interfere with the main storyline's progression.

III. Martial Arts Rank

From lowest to highest grade, they are divided into: unacceptable, ordinary, good, superior, and exceptional.
It includes three categories of martial arts: internal energy cultivation (establishing a foundation and improving one's skills), external martial arts techniques (swords, palms, legs, and body techniques), and unique secret techniques (acupoint striking, poison techniques, hidden weapons, and body protection techniques).
The constraints imposed by the world: righteous and evil martial arts clash, practicing multiple arts simultaneously will inevitably lead to qi deviation and demonic possession, one can only cultivate one or two martial arts in one's lifetime, there is absolutely no possibility of compatibility.

IV. Main Character Setting

An ordinary person from modern times transmigrates and possesses the body of a down-on-his-luck youth in Qingyang City on the border. He starts at the entry level of the Bone Forging Realm, without a master or background, all alone, and only knows a set of second-rate mountain-splitting sabers and basic movement techniques. He is the lowest ant in the martial arts world.

V. Core Cheat: Martial Arts Record (Core Rules)

After killing a martial artist with martial arts cultivation, you will only randomly plunder one of their martial arts techniques/skills/secret arts, not all of them.

Core Rules

1. Single Kill, Single Result: Only one martial art skill will drop from a single target. The skill will be randomly selected from all the martial arts skills the target possesses, with the grade and type being entirely random.
2. Perfect Acquisition: Upon acquisition, the skill is immediately perfected without the need for arduous training or comprehension. The moves, techniques, and secrets are all mastered.
3. Universal Compatibility: The protagonist's unique talent allows for the perfect coexistence of righteous and evil, poisonous and Buddhist, and high- and low-grade martial arts, without conflict or the risk of qi deviation, breaking the ironclad rules of the world.

VI. Power Structure

The Three Righteous Sects (The Top Line of the Martial World)

Qingyun Sword Sect: The foremost sword sect in the world, possessing numerous superior and supreme-grade sword techniques. Its disciples are aloof and protective of their own, controlling a large portion of the sword resources in the martial world.
Haoran Academy: Confucianism, Taoism, and martial arts; righteous energy protects the body, restraining all evil and poisonous techniques; upholding the rules and order of public opinion in the martial arts world.
Putuo Chanlin: A Buddhist martial arts school specializing in defense, healing, and calming the mind to neutralize evil influences; its foundation is extremely deep.

Ten Famous Families

They control various states, possess top-grade martial arts techniques, and have disciples throughout the counties. They are a core force in the middle ranks of the martial arts world, conservative and xenophobic, and strictly control the spread of their techniques.

The Four Powers of the Demonic Path

The Netherworld Blood Palace: Primarily focused on blood-based combat, sustaining itself through war, and deserving of death by all in the martial world.
Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons: Masters all kinds of poison techniques and secret arts, insidious and difficult to deal with.
Xuan Yin Sect: Skilled in cold internal energy cultivation, stealth assassination, and acts in secrecy.
Rakshasa Tower: A top-tier assassin organization that kills for money, indiscriminately regardless of good or evil.

Nine Dynasties of the Imperial Court

Each dynasty established royal martial arts academies and imperial guard martial arts camps, possessing exclusive military martial arts techniques. Their combat strength was weaker than that of top sects but stronger than that of local aristocratic martial arts schools. The imperial court and the martial arts world did not interfere with each other, yet they checked and balanced each other. Wars and border conflicts often triggered fights among martial artists.

grassroots forces

Local powerful families, town martial arts schools, mountain bandits, and lone cultivators are the main targets the protagonist hunts down and rises to power in the early stages.
