Lee Xian, Cultivator of Guyon

Mind Fight

After their physical fight, the Conferred Gods and Xian sat together under a shady tree for a short break. The martial God looked solemn, while Xian sat down excitedly, ready to accept the next test.

The god Persilatan carries a traditional Chinese chessboard. The board had small boxes with elaborate Chinese characters inside. "We will use this board game to test your intelligence and patience" said Lord Persilatan.

Xian looked at the chessboard with curiosity. "What's the name of the game, Lord of Slaughter?"

The God smiled. "This is called 'Xiangqi, ' or Chinese chess. It was very popular among cultivators because it required a deep strategy."

Xian nodded and looked at the board game with enthusiasm. "I'm ready to give it a try, Lord of Slaughter!"

The God Persilatan placed the chess pieces on the board meticulously. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, let's start. The game will test how well you plan your strategy and make decisions."

Xian seriously observed the game. He knows that this game is an important test, and he has to give his best. However, when he saw the chess pieces with intricate symbols, his face began to pale.

"God Master took a look," Xian said with his innocent face, "Is this all candy?"

The martial God was surprised by the question and looked at the chessboard in surprise. "Candy?" said. "No, it's not candy. These are chess pieces. They have their respective roles and movements in the game."

Xian nodded in understanding, but still looked at the chess pieces with curiosity. "So this chess piece can't be eaten?"

The God of Slaughter shook his head with a smile. "No, Xian, they can't be eaten. They're part of the game, and we have to use our brains to play them."

Xian was ashamed of his innocence. "I'm sorry, Lord of Conciliation. I've just never seen a game like this before."

The God of Slaughter laughed lightly. "It's okay, Xian. We all have new beginnings in new things."

They also started playing board games. The God of Surveillance guided Xian patiently, explaining every move and strategy required. Xian tried tenaciously, though sometimes still confused by the symbols on the chess pieces.

As the match went on, the Lord Persilatan began to show his wisdom and brilliant tactics. Xian, although still a beginner in this game, tries hard not to make too big of a mistake. The conversation between them became more and more intense, with the Conferred God giving advice and Xian asking clever questions.

However, in the middle of a serious match, something funny happened. Xian, who was still unfamiliar with the game, suddenly picked up one of the chess pieces and thought of it as candy. He tried to eat it, but the Profound God quickly grabbed his hand.

"No, Xian!" said the Demon Lord with a surprised face. "That's not candy! It was one of the important chess pieces!"

Xian red went out and laughed embarrassedly. "I'm sorry, Lord of the Knights. I'm still learning."

The martial God could not hold back his laughter. "That's a funny mistake, Xian. But remember, in this game, we have to focus and think carefully."

They continued the match with passion. Despite the hilarious incident, Xian kept trying hard and learned quickly. The match lasted for quite a while, but eventually the Knight God acknowledged Xian's ingenuity.

"You did well, Xian," he said. "You have potential in this martial world, not only in physical terms, but also in terms of strategy and intelligence."

Xian smiled proudly, feeling that he had passed the second exam successfully. He knew that this journey was far from over, and there was still much he had to learn from the Profound God.

They both pack a board game and continue their journey, getting closer to their final destination. Both the fights, both physical and mental, have strengthened their relationship and given Xian valuable insight into this complex martial world. And with a blazing spirit, they continued to advance to the next adventure.

After passing intense trials with the martial God, Xian felt closer to the mysterious martial world. The martial God decided to teach Xian a secret technique that only the highest level cultivators knew. They sat together under a shady tree at the top of Eternal Mountain, while the sun began to sink in the horizon.

The god Persilatan began to teach Xian about meditation in the martial world. "Meditation is the key to mastering spiritual energy and achieving a higher level of cultivation" said Lord Persilatan. "It requires patience and deep focus."

Xian listened enthusiastically. He wanted to know everything that the martial God taught him. "I'm ready to learn, Lord Profound God," Xian said excitedly.

The God of Death looked at Xian seriously. "First, we must find a quiet and secluded place for meditation. Outside noises and distractions can hamper our focus."

The two of them walked into the quiet forest around the mountain peak. In the middle of the tall trees, they found a perfect place for meditation. A pool of clear water is located under a large shady tree, creating a peaceful and cool atmosphere.

Xian tried to follow the instructions of the Demon Lord. He sat down with his legs crossed, eyes half closed, and started breathing slowly and deeply. However, something unexpected happened. As he tried to meditate deeper, he began to snore loudly.

The martial God who was in meditation opened his eyes in surprise. Xian's snoring voice was completely shrill amidst the peace of the forest. He tried hard not to laugh, but ended up not taking it anymore.

"God Lord, I'm sorry!" xian said with a dead red face, trying to stop his snoring.

The God of Slaughter laughed. "It's okay, Xian. It was a funny experience. But in meditation, we have to really focus and keep the silence."

Xian tried again, this time more focused. He closed his eyes and meditated seriously. The martial God gave further instructions on how to flow spiritual energy through the body and control it. They both meditated in the peace of the forest.

As the sun began to sink in the horizon, Xian felt an overwhelming sensation. He felt spiritual energy flowing through him calmly and strongly. His face was calm, and he felt like he was connected to nature and the world around him.

The God of Slaughter opened his eyes and smiled in satisfaction. "You did well, Xian," he said. "Meditation is the key to developing higher cultivation abilities. You have great potential in the martial world."

Xian was happy to hear the praises of the God of Slaughter. He knew that meditation was the key to developing his abilities even further, and he promised to continue practicing diligently.

The two of them left the meditation grounds and went back under the shady tree. The sun had sunk completely, and the night sky was beginning to fill with stars. They sat together, feeling a growing closeness and friendship between them.

"Thank you, Lord God of Slaughter," Xian said sincerely. "I'm so lucky to learn from you."

The God of Slaughter smiled and nodded. "We still have much to learn on this journey, Xian. But I'm sure you'll become an incredible cultivator."

They both talked about their plans for the future, about the adventures they would face, and about the secret knowledge Xian would learn next. Under the starry night sky, they felt that nothing was impossible in this martial world. And with a burning spirit, they continued their journey together.

Time passed by so quickly during Xian's journey with the Conferred God. They have passed many exams and learned many valuable things together. Now, they were standing at the peak of the Eternal Mountain, where they had first met. The sun sets on the horizon, creating an orange glow that radiates across the sky.

The God of Death faced Xian with a serious face. "Xian, it's time for you to continue on your own journey. You have displayed incredible abilities and great potential as a cultivator. I'm sure you'll reach a higher level in the future."

Xian felt a little saddened to hear those parting words, but he also felt ready to face his own adventure. "Thank you, Lord God of Slaughter," Xian said respectfully. "I'll never forget everything you taught and all the experiences we've had together."

The God of Slaughter smiled and nodded. "You are an outstanding disciple, Xian. I'm proud to have been your teacher."

Before their farewell, Xian grabbed something from inside his clothes. He took out a bamboo flute that he made himself during their trip. The flute has beautiful carvings and is beautified with attractive colors. Xian excitedly gave the flute to the Slashing God. "This is a gift from me, Lord of the Slaughtering Gods. I'm making it with heart and hope that you don't forget me."

The God of Slaughter received the flute with a sincere smile. "Thank you, Xian. I'll keep it well as a memento of my amazing student."

The God of Slaughter tried the flute seriously. He blew it gently, and the sound coming out of the flute was so melodious and beautiful. However, suddenly, the sound coming out of the flute turned into a loud farting sound.

Xian was surprised and turned his face. "I'm sorry, Lord God of Slaughter," he said awkwardly. "I don't know how to make a flute properly."

The martial God, who was initially shocked, suddenly burst into laughter. His voice echoed at the peak of the Eternal Mountain, creating a pleasant wave of laughter. "It's okay, Xian," he said, still laughing. "It was a very unique gift, and I will definitely remember it forever!"

Xian joined his laughter, and the two of them laughed together under the red sky. They know that moments like these are unforgettable memories.

After their laughter subsided, the Profound God returned seriously. "Xian, it's time for you to leave. Keep learning and growing, and don't forget all the lessons you've learned."

Xian nodded with great enthusiasm. "I will, Lord of the Immortals. I will live each day with perseverance and passion, and I hope to someday be able to come back and talk to you about all the things I've learned."

The martial God raised his hand and placed his finger on Xian's forehead. "May luck always be with you, Xian. Your incredible journey has begun."

The two of them hugged each other with respect and friendship. Then, with an excited heart, Xian left the peak of the Eternal Mountain and continued on his life journey as a cultivator.

The martial God saw Xian disappear in the distance and smiled. He felt proud of his disciple and was confident that Xian would reach a high level of cultivation. With a peaceful heart, the Profound God continued his meditation, enjoying the tranquility of the eternal peak of the Eternal Mountain. And as he looked at the starry sky, he felt that the bond that had formed between the two of them would remain strong despite their journey of separation.
