Immortal Ape King

Immortal Ape King, Chapter 1: Morning Exercise

Yuan Tribe is located on the edge of Luo River, surrounded by vast mountains and forest. You can say that the Yuan tribe is actually a little far-fetched, the whole tribe that contains only a hundred household with several families in it, looking very thin.

Luo River is a large river in the eastern part of the vast river, as for it’s width, no one really knows the answer. Legend said that this vast river had been formed and separated by the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind. This river was only a branch of the vast river in the east, filled with numerous creatures living in a piece of land.

In the Luo riverside, there are also other tribes situated in this place, it’s just that they were far away from each other.
Early in the morning while the glory of the dawn is mirrored on the lake, the sunlight sprinkle above the Luo River. A group of children ranging from four to five years old with some teenager can be found in the training field of a little village.
All of them have a serious expression on their face, drawing the power of heaven and earth into their body.

“Concentrate your spirit and mind, like a new born calf in the rising sun, feel the origin of all things, feel the Yuan qi of heaven and earth, if you can feel it, draw it to your body, by doing this you can become strong, tempering your bones and blood, increasing the vitality of your body, for all of you this is a great advantage, it will be worth if you practice this every day.” (1)

Standing in front was a bronze-coloured middle-aged man, with full of muscles, looking strong and vigorous like a tiger or a panther. He was standing in front of a large blue stone, wearing an ordinary plain cloth with a firm expression in his face.

“Do you all understand?”

“Understand!” Each and every one of the children’s voice was loud and clear, obviously, all of them are physically fit, replying with full of energy.

“Understand” Yuan Hong also followed the crowd and shouted.

Yuan Hong came and had been in this world for already two months. For how he came here is also a big mystery, thinking of his past life filled with memories and emotion. He was just an orphan when he was young his parents died because of an accident and only received a meager compensation. Living in the province, after working very hard, he finally admitted in his ideal university. Because of a cruel life, he had no choice but to sold all of his things and even his own house, through all of his efforts, he becomes successful and graduated to comfort the spirits of his parents. But the heaven was really cruel to him, because of an accident he lost everything.

In the last moment of his life, feeling a strong unwilling and injustice, his last consciousness travel in an endless darkness. When he opened his eyes he was deeply shocked in what appear in front of him.

A reincarnation? Everything was so clear even his memory. Here is a strange world, were all impossible thing can become possible. The only thing he can determine is that he resurrected in this strange world. Where G.o.d bring back everything he lost in his past life, here in this world he had family, friends, elders and also tribal brothers. This makes Yuan Hong more comfortable in this world.

“Concentrate your spirit and mind, use your heart to feel the origin of heaven and earth, feel the beginning of all things, feel that slightest yuan qi.” The bronze-coloured man piercing every child with his bright eyes reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

Yuan Hong took a deep breath, trying to control the rhythm of his breathing, according to his father, the rhythm of breathing was an important factor in absorbing the power of heaven and earth into his body.

“This is the yuan qi of heaven and earth? This world is truly different”

Two months ago, after waking up in this body, he felt an abnormal weakness. His mother said that he had a serious illness before, his father always hunts vicious beast in the vast mountains, refining its blood to a medicine for his daily uses, doing all of this just to cure him.

His father was called Yuan Changqing, one of the few expert in their tribe. Yuan Changing was also a peak spiritual roots pract.i.tioner, that can already be regarded a master in this area.

After the happiness of having this new life, Yuan Hong quickly accepted this mysterious world. A different world from his past and the world that is totally new for him.

There are so many tall trees and strange rocks that can only be seen in a tropical rainforest in his past life. A pure and fresh world where he can find a vast forest and lofty mountain range.

After two months of staying in this world, Yuan Hong always does breathing exercise to learn the law and absorb the yuan qi of heaven and earth. Perhaps because of his own difficulties due to coming from another world, his talent is much greater than other children. Absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth is just like a normal eating for him.

Listening to his father guidance, focusing his mind on sensing the yuan qi of heaven and earth, drawing it to his body to nourish his blood and bones.

Yuan Hong body right now is abnormally strong, this is simply too much compared with the same age as him in his previous world.

A Great Desolate world we’re vicious beasts going rampant, endlessly vast mountain and a great river that can’t even see its limit, with an exceptionally rich vitality of heaven and earth, giving birth to countless living things.

Here you can find different kinds of race, an ancient giant family whose strength can lift up a mountain. A clan whose power was comparable to ancient G.o.ds, a race who love nature, there are also powerful barbarians, as well a beautiful wizard, it also gives birth to countless evil spirit.

In contrast to ordinary humans, this is simply too much, they don’t have the tyrannical physique and supernatural powers. So they were persistent to cultivate hard to behead those vicious beasts and demons, also to guard their tribe.

Silently operating the formula in his mind, more and more Yuan qi was being drawn into his body, nourishing his bones and blood.

Gathering the yuan qi of heaven and earth is the most common cultivation in this world, ancient people said that this is the most suitable for human to build a solid foundation.

Everything is different in this world, practicing the same formula doesn’t mean your the same as others, every person had different nature that is related to their soul and const.i.tution.

Some people practice the same yuan qi formula but produce the power of Yang, controlling the fire of heaven and earth, with one thought can burn everything. Some people practice the formula but produce the power of water, with raging waves destroying everything in its path. There are also who produce the power of thunder, who stretch its power to the highest heaven with it’s fierce and violent nature.

Some people born with innate talent, practicing unfathomable power. These people often referred as a genius, usually born in larger tribes.

The heaven and earth yuan qi revolve around Yuan Hong, this gives him an unusual feeling, it seems the world was helping and supporting him. Slowly Yuan Hong let go his mind and use his heart and soul to pursue that indescribable experience again.

“Wh-wha-what is this feeling ?”
Yuan Hong had an enlightenment.

Sometimes fast, gentle, selfless, sometimes violent, turbulent and overbearing. Yuan Hong felt he came to the world of water, feeling the moisture of all things, feeling great and selfless.

The yuan qi revolves faster and faster, the way Yuan Hong absorb the power of heaven and earth also become faster, more and more yuan qi was being drawn, refining every part of his body while the other part goes to his dantian and blood vessels.

Yuan Hong can feel his body becoming stronger every moment, according to this, one day or sooner he can be comparable to those vicious beasts in the mountains.

Yuan Hong was completely obsessed in this mysterious feeling, it’s like he can see his own self. The power of heaven and earth operate and change slowly, continuously changing the color of his body.

Changing from one color to another, slowly it becomes colorless with a trace of light blue.

One thread
Two thread
Three thread like thing

The light blue color becoming more and more clearer in Yuan Hong body, to the last that it seems his whole body turn into light blue. A trace of light blue thread constantly flows into his body. This light blue qi is so gorgeous, continuously drilling into Yuan Hong blood and body.

Yuan Hong was being nourished by this light blue qi, slowly healing his past injuries. This light blue qi spreading out in all direction, directly repairing the past injuries of his body.

This is not the only benefits the light blue qi give, it also intensifies his blood and makes his body a little stronger. It’s like a whole transformation occurs.

“Ha!” The aura around Yuan Hong slowly dispersed, he opens his eyes and took a deep breath.

” I was born to practice the dao of water, it even makes my heart to gain enlightenment, it seems that my talent is not shallow.”

Feeling the changes in his body make Yuan Hong abnormally excited.

Water is the mother of all things, nurturing life to become mighty and selfless.
On the good thing water does not dispute by others, also there are only a few people who practice the dao of water into the evil path.

Earth Taoist scripture emerge from his mind, Yuan Hong suddenly felt an endless mystery. Directed at the origin of the road and the law of fundamental.

Yuan Hong felt that earth is absolutely not simple. Lao Tzu, Yuanshi Tianzun, Babel, Buddha, NuWa, f.u.xi and so on. These G.o.ds and figures in the story may really exist, what happened to the history of Huaxia? Why did he come to this world after he died? Are there any traces of holy places in this world?(2)

“I will uncover everything, becoming a great existence in this world to protect my tribe” Yuan Hong thought to himself.

Tl:

1.Heaven and earth mean world or universe.
Yuan qi could also mean vitality
2. Huaxia is historical concept representing the Chinese nation and civilization
