The Qin Capital residents now had three new gossips over meals.Qin Clan issued a command that a young man named "Ling Tian" was missing. Whoever finds him would be heavily rewarded. The Ling Tian"s physical features are 17 years of age, black hair, tall, averagely well build body, emits sharp aura like a sword. He is a prodigy who can fight at the level of peak of the Earth Realm.
The other was naturally about the devilish handsome man who made his appearance in the Qin Capital. That one night, countless engagements broke, long marriages ended. Many pa.s.sionate females surrounded the inn he was staying.
When night fell and one of the drunk women went inside the room he was staying at to "show love", all the others, shyly or brazenly followed in. To their surprise, however, there was no one in the room. All of them were dumbfounded thinking that the Deity left this mortal world and ascended to heaven.
The last but most important news was Myriad Treasure Star House would be conducting an Auction in five days. The Highlight of the Auction is an Ancient Cultivation Manual which was said to be the highest level they ever saw. These words were said by Elder Con Man himself, adding fuels to the flames.
This was like a sweet fragrance one could not resist. Countless free cultivators and almost all the major powers started making preparations to get their hands on the Cultivation Technique.
The one thing that no one wanted to talk about was the strange suppression of souls and the peculiar behaviour of profound energy that took place. In fact, when cultivators learnt that everyone on the continent, regardless of theirs strength and location experienced the horrifying pressure, it became a taboo.
Some called it G.o.d"s descent, some Immortal"s anger. But everyone knew that the power is beyond the realm of mortals. People feared divine punishment and avoided talking anything negative about the incident.
With the whole continent still digesting the strange event silently, A seductive woman in slinky clothes arrived at the entrance of the city. The guard who was responsible for the entry fee forgot his duty as his eyes stayed on her b.r.e.a.s.t.s as her sultry movements bewitched his heart, soul, and body.
The Woman"s steps were like a dance, enticing him to no end. He forgot what he should do and dumbly followed her to the gate.
The Woman entered the city. Although not like Sheng Tian, the woman"s charm did entice men continuously.
She took a room in an inn and guess what? She was in the next room to Sheng Tian who changed the inns overnight due to "security reasons."
Sheng Tian closed his eyes and was studying the "Celestial Body Tome" in his mind.
It is a very profound technique, so much so that, Sheng Tian found it hard to believe that such thing existed in this world.
He was able to barely start cultivating Celestial Body Tome at the bottom of the Blood Lake, but even then, his progress was negligible. He couldn"t even enter the first realm properly despite his insane comprehension.
He tried to make sense of the cultivation technique and progress.
"The Existence is made of Soul, Essence, and Energy. The dimensions call upon as s.p.a.ce and Time.
The Grand Dao is ever-changing, ethereal yet eternal. To reach the Grand Dao is the pinnacle of all existence.
A Cultivator reaching the Dao of a Universe will be limited by it. To reach the Grand Dao, go beyond the limits of the Heavens and h.e.l.l, go beyond the limits of the Universe, and seek the Grand Dao with all the life!
The Systems of Essence, Energy and Soul are distinct yet similar, for they are the various paths for the same designation.
Cultivate the Forbidden Tome, cultivate the Dao in body and cultivate the body in Dao!. The body reaches the strength of the Cosmos and opens up a path beyond!"
"Fudge!" Sheng Tian shouted.
He browsed through it completely and shook his head. He didn"t find its content as compelling as its promises. Probably because it is not a whole. However, it could be unanimously ranked the best body cultivation technique, not just in the mortal realms even in the divine realms.
Xiao Lian slowly spoke as she touched his hands, her eyes revealing concern "It"s a well-known fact that Cultivating Body is harder than cultivating Profound Energy. Many geniuses in the Divine Realm also cultivate Body but their achievements are seriously lacking compared to the Energy Cultivation base they achieved. So, don"t take any pressure."
Sheng Tian gave a spell blinding smile and a peck on her forehead "With the encouragement of the Demoness, I will give my best."
Xiao Lian looked at his carefree demeanour and sighed. It seems like her concern was not needed, but again, she didn"t want to see him depressed if he failed, especially when we are talking about a cultivation technique even a Mythical G.o.d had to rever.
She stayed outside to ensure his safety and promised to not act until things get really serious. With that, Sheng Tian sat on the bed cross-legged.
He tried to feel the Energy in nature. Celestial Body Tome doesn"t depend just a single type of energy but encompa.s.ses on everything that exists to cultivate the body. It cultivates the body with any energy and Dao, strengthening the cultivator.
Essence and Energy are the building blocks of the Physical Reality at its core. Soul is the building block of Conscious Reality.
Cultivating a Body needs Energy, similarly Cultivating Energy also needs a Body. And to do all this you need to have consciousness, which stems from the Soul. This shows that whatever the System of Cultivation one might take, all the three are indispensable.
After reaching teaching the apex in Cultivating body, Squas.h.i.+ng Stars and Blasting Moons to dust would be but a mere thought away.
One"s body would be able to regenerate itself even under extreme situations. The longer one treads on the path of Body Cultivation, the closer they are to Eternal life!
Sheng Tian was excited. He is someone who pursued the pinnacle of Strength, not particularly Eternal Life.
The thought of going head to head with Cosmic Bodies and fighting at such a grand scale somehow felt amazing and he wanted to wield such powers.
The first step is to feel the energy and attract it by the body as its whole. In Energy cultivation, the cultivator feels profound energy with senses and use their profound veins along with dantian to absorb profound energy.
Now, the receivers are no longer profound veins but the body itself.
Sheng Tian slowly let go of his senses, thoughts and let his body feel the energy and attract it.
Xiao Lian was also tongue tied because according to what she knew, he didn"t have any Energy Physique which is said to attract Profound Energy towards pract.i.tioners.
The cultivators with that physique would have a very easy journey along the path of cultivation. That is until they reach the level where they need to master the Laws of the Dao.
Sheng Tian was jolted out of his mental state as he felt Profound Energy of different kinds entering his body. It"s in the forms of Ice Energy, Wind Energy, Earth Energy, Lightning Energy.
Now, Sheng Tian thought that it is very possible that he missed out on other types of energies due to their minuscule presence or no presence at all.
He started circulating the energy in the said path as it tempered his whole body slowly. This is not just an increase in his physical strength but also the st.u.r.diness of his body as well.
He sunk into mediation.
A day and night pa.s.sed.
He stretched his muscles accompanied by cracking sounds. His physical strength increased by a great deal. Though he cannot defeat even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator based on his physical strength alone, holding his own was not a problem.
Celestial Body Tome is a body cultivation technique which didn"t follow the usual system of body cultivation according to Xiao Lian.
Body Cultivation follows the path of cultivating the body to the Heavenly Dao. In the System of Divine Realm, At Mortal level, Body cultivation is divided into 9 Major Realms. Also called as the Nine leaves of Mortality.
The first stage-The branch of skies— the fundamental leaf.
The second stage-Explosive muscles
The third stage-Stream of blood
The fourth stage-adamant bones
The fifth stage- Diamond Skin
The sixth stage-Golden organs
The seventh stage-Dragon tendons
The eighth stage-Crystal marrow
The ninth stage-Roc"s Breath
When a Cultivator embarks on the journey of Body Cultivation, the singular manifestation of the first step he took would be the illusory appearance of a small stem with his heart as the root on the body.
This also signifies that the warrior reached the threshold to start budding the nine leaves of mortality.
Each Major realm corresponds to a leaf.
The Mortal Realm thus consists of Nine Leaves. Each Major Realm could correspond to its Energy Cultivation Realm counterpart. For instance, the Sixth level of the Body Cultivation, the Sixth of Mortality-Golden Organs would be having Sky Realm as its counterpart.
However, as Fate may have it, Sheng Tian didn"t take the usual path of Body Cultivation. The Body Cultivation Technique he had was not a complete one. And more importantly, the way one cultivates Body is fundamentally different from the traditional methods.
The Orthodox Body Cultivator would start by the sprout of the stem. Then step, by step, the leaves bud corresponding to the transformations one"s body undergoes.
When the nine leaves are completed formed on the stem, it means that the Cultivator reached the perfection of the Mortal Realm.
Sheng Tian, however, was having his Physical Strength, Bodily Defense, Speed increase as he practiced the Cultivation Manual.
Neither did his muscles get explosive strength nor did his blood show any signs of transformation. There was no question of the illusory image of the stem on his heart. To others, it was as if he never cultivated his body!
When Xiao Lian told him these things, Sheng Tian only wanted to find the Dragon G.o.d to punch his face. Wasn"t this too lousy of a gift for the Successor of a Dragon G.o.d?
Sure, this Cultivation Technique is providing strength which is very high than what the usual methods could. But that"s it! There are no great transformations in his body.
The change in his body now, he knew that it would very likely stop before he even reached the peak of Mortal Realm. Inevitably, he would have no way of advancing in cultivating his body by then.
Then wouldn"t he have wasted his time cultivating this sh*tty technique?
At least, if he was told of the address he should look for the other half, he could have tried getting it by hook or crook. *Sigh*
Sheng Tian got rid of the "ifs" and walked out fo the room to a small restaurant. There were not many customers coming to this restaurant. It was run by an Eccentric Old Man.
...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ......
The Woman in green slowly rode towards one of the bars in the Western District. Sitting at a corner, she gulped down her cup of wine. Finis.h.i.+ng it in one go, she licked her lips with her pink tongue emitting a sultry look.
*HISS* All the men in the bar felt something burning down when they say that scene. They wanted nothing more than to tear her clothes and push her down.
The Woman, however, unfazed by their brazen gazes, made her way to a Young Man sitting in a corner, drinking alone.
He is the male disciple from the Mystic Ice Sect of Qin Lie"s group. All the partic.i.p.ants were asked to stay and not leave for a few days before the matter of deaths is completely investigated. Thus, he too had to stay since leaving would mean slapping Qin Clan"s face.
He was quite bored as of late and came for a drink. Now that "Ling Tian" disappeared, Qin Clan Elders felt that it was highly possible that he is the one responsible. This, in turn, let their guards down towards other partic.i.p.ants.
He saw a s.e.xy woman with a sultry dress walk with her hips swaying and breast bouncing towards him.
The jug in his hand fell down. Still, the sound of the jug hitting the floor didn"t wake him. His eyes were locked onto the woman"s body as they shone with intense desire.
She came to his table and said seductively "Little Brother, May I have a drink here?" Her eyes were, however, saying that she won"t leave.
Without even waiting, she took his gla.s.s and gulped the wine. Then she licked her fingers as though she was sucking them.
The act was too brazen and inviting. The "Little Brother" in front of her was still a virgin and his face became red imagining naughty things.
(Author: Hey, Hey, Stop! Don"t let your mind wander, read the chapter. It"s still not over.)
The Woman in green made a weak face "Little Brother, Big Sister is feeling weak. Could you send Big Sister home?" she spoke as she grasped his hand and pulled it. "Please" she begged as she placed his hand on her chest.
The male disciple from the Mystic Ice Sect might be cold and aloof, but his body right now is set on fire. His hand was grabbing something so soft that he wanted to melt in that valley. He is just a single step away from losing virginity!
Would he be suspicious of this woman"s ident.i.ty? Would he think that this is a "trap"? Would he think that she is an a.s.sa.s.sin or a spy or some gold digger?
f.u.c.k, How can his brain "think" when it is only wanting him to press her down?!
Like how a little boy would blush on his first kiss, he blushed and said "Yes, Big Sister. I...I will send you home. Don"t worry."
He patted his chest as if to show his a.s.surance and stood up to support her. The Woman leaned on him. He is a head shorter than her. She was on his left. Her one hand was on his right shoulder and the other on his chest. Her fingers provoked his deepest desires.
The Little Boy, however, is quite a decent chap and took her to the inn.
All the men in the bar sighed as they cursed the little boy in their heads. Now they had to take some cold showers.
They quickly arrived at the inn and the floor, Sheng Tian was staying at. Poor him, he was still in Body Cultivation and didn"t notice this.
The Woman led the little young man to her room and they soon reached the bed.
She suddenly said "Little Younger Brother, What are you hiding there?." she pointed towards the Little young mans" tent on the pants which couldn"t be more obvious.
"This.." the little young man blushed as he was feeling tense and aroused at the same time.
"I want to see what it is~" with a seductive smile, her hand reached down.
