Swordsman Dog Stick
Ep 7 - History
The contents of the heirloom book of the way of the sword are now in Agni's head. The book only has 3 moves, but each style has a more complicated variation of the movement than the Dog Stick.
In the book also contains knowledge of the types of swords and their properties, as well as information about high-quality sword materials and how to make them.
Just like the dog-beating stick book, there is also cultivation in the sword path book. For now, Agni has not understood that every cultivation technique also has differences. But the sword path book was one of the best books on earth, hence to be sure, the sword path cultivation technique was a high-level technique.
And the most outstanding of the contents of the sword path book, was all the information about the world of alchemy. Thousands of names of herbal plants along with their uses and ways of processing, pill-making techniques, and various other things. A little strange when viewed from the name of the book, but the contents of the book review the world of alchemists more.
In addition to the book of the way of the sword, Takada Tanaga also bequeathed his two blades to Agni. Agni was very pleased with the gift, although she did not know the martial movements with her sword or staff, but now there were two books on her head. In his imagination, Agni had imagined how dashing she was toying with her sword or staff.
"Eyang, I'm surprised. Eyang only carried one stick and spent energy to close the aura of the stick. While the Dog Stick, carried by Guru Takada Tanaga, and the teacher can still bring the book of the way of the sword with his sword" said Agni
"Haha... You're quite attentive too huh Cu... All right, I'll tell you a story that happened almost two million years ago"
Not much different from today, there are five large continents that exist on the surface of the earth inhabited by various races. But on every continent there was not just one Empire. There were at least 5 to ten empires in each landmass.
Strength is the determinant of power, so there are many wars everywhere. Be it an interracial war, a war between sects, whether a black, white, or neutral sect. Also war between empires for power.
And is the heavenly demon race, known as the strongest demon race in the entire galaxy. No one knows what planet they are from. What is certain is that their race occupies one of the thousands of planets that exist throughout the galaxy.
The heavenly devils had successfully infiltrated their race among the human race on the earth land. Wars that never stop on the land of the earth, can not be separated from their actions. The demon race can enter the land of the earth through a dark portal that can only be activated using the aura of death.
Where there is war, there are casualties, and there will surely be an aura of death. The infiltrating demon race envoys had finally managed to ignite a great war on all lands, resulting in nearly one-fifth of the human race meeting death.
In the end, with the source of power from the death aura of the human race, the heavenly demons opened a portal of darkness and sent out their army to exterminate the remaining inhabitants of the existing land of earth, be it the elves race, the ancient dragon race, the world's most ancient dragon race, the demon race is also an orc race.
The original form of the heavenly demon was two to three times larger than that of humans, even the heavenly demon magnifiers had a body size ten times that of the human race.
There have been more and more casualties from all races of the earth's land dwellers since the arrival of the demon army. Although the number of remaining human races was still far more than the army of heavenly demons, each heavenly demon was several times stronger than a human.
Although it is too late to realize, in the end the human race can unite in order to expel the heavenly demons from the land of earth. The 5 continents alliance. All forms of unification of power both from science, weapons, resources and so on are done for the sake of compiling power and weaponry.
The five-continent alliance also embraced the other races inhabiting the landmass of the earth. At first they refused because they thought it was a war of the human race. But since it also fell victim to not a few from their side, inevitably, the other races joined in the alliance to fight against the heavenly demon army.
By combining various kinds of techniques and the strongest moves from many sects in various races, created one of the science techniques without a match stored in a book, which is currently known as the dog bat.
Accompanying the book, an alliance of five continents with the cooperation of many masters from all over the land, managed to create five of the strongest weapons in history in the form of a stick. In accordance with the name of the book, the stick was also named dog-beating stick.
The wand was made from the scales of the holy dragon obtained from the ancient dragon race and combined with the essence of the five elements. The making of the stick took more than ten years. The five sticks created were held by the five strongest masters present in the alliance of the five continents.
Millions of cultivators from all over the races that existed on the earth's mainland, joined forces that formed an alliance of five continents. The army was divided into five groups led by five stick-wielding masters.
Slowly the alliance army of the five continents could repel the heavenly demon army in various regions. In the end, the heavenly demon army left behind an army of the strongest demons led by a giant demon named Ghu'lat. That demon army had killed countless inhabitants of the earth land.
The five stick-wielding masters must unite to face Ghu'lat. With the technique of uniting five sticks, Ghu'lat was killed after a fierce fight for a month. But the other four sticks had to be destroyed with Ghu'lat's death.
After Ghu'lat was killed, the rest of the heavenly demon army that was still alive, fled to where they came from. Then the formation masters, united to seal the darkness portal, preventing the heavenly demon army from re-attacking the earth mainland.
The greatest war in the history of the Earth's landmass lasted more than a hundred years. It eats up the victims of about 75% of the earth's land dwellers of all races, tearing down mountains, draining the oceans and almost no city survives the destruction.
After decades, the earth has recovered. Unlike before, the five continents were now led by only one empire. But there is another problem. Various sects, both white, black and neutral, claim the right to ownership of books and dog clubs. Including the ancient dragon race who feel most meritorious with the scales of the holy dragon. It even happened within the five continents alliance, and eventually resulted in the dissolution of the alliance.
Luckily the five stick holders and the dog-beating book heirloom, were the ones who were actually chosen through a very strict selection. For more than a hundred years since the war ended, all five have killed countless people who are eyeing both heirlooms.
It could have been that the five of them continued to maintain that pair of heirlooms, however, they were the five strongest people that existed on the earth land at that time. Yet facing the race alone was something different from facing the demon race.
In addition, his life would be difficult to find peace because it would definitely not be separated from the target of thousands, maybe even millions of other cultivators.
In the end, the five heirloom holders set up a formation somewhere, to hide themselves and disappear from the land along with the two heirlooms.
For several thousand years, the five of them lived in their hiding places. Basically, a cultivator would rather live alone, and spend a lot of his time meditating. So the five were already quite crowded for them.
But they were not immortal level cultivators who had immortal lives. Only a very few cultivators took the path of immortality. Because by going through the path of immortality a cultivator must be willing to leave the earthly life in the land realm and ascend to the heavens.
In the end, age becomes the last thing for them. All five had to remove their bodies and rely solely on their spirits or astral bodies, to guard both heirlooms. At the 2nd grade SoulGod level, a cultivator began to form a small astral body inhabiting his dantian point. Then at the 3rd class SoulGod level, a cultivator's consciousness could fully occupy the astral body, and could travel outside of his original body.
Unlike reincarnation, where the spirit will be reborn in the second time and life, the astral body is the second life at the same time. When the original body died, the cultivator's consciousness would occupy the astral body and live as a spirit. However the astral body only has 10-30% of the strength of a cultivator's original body.
Keeping the aura of both heirlooms with the astral body, was much heavier than the original body. The dog-beating stick had a true aura much stronger than his book. Chua Pek Dong had to exert almost all of his strength to cover up the true aura of a dog-beating stick. Takada Tanaga was still easier with guarding the scriptures, whereas the other three masters, were guarding the protection formation.
Hearing Chua Pek Dong's story, Agni shuddered at how terrible a war was, as well as feeling amazed by the five stick holders.
"Based on a stupid boy, do you see what I'm holding right now?" Chua Pek Dong.
"Teacher Takada?" Ask Agni again.
"The rice field's the master of Alchemists"
Chua Pek Dong replied again.
"It is only fitting that the contents of the sword path book contain more about alchemy" Agni said in her heart.
"What about the other three masters Eyang?" Ask Agni again.
"You will also meet them" Chua Pek Dong replied.
"Of course, if Eyang gives me this stick, doesn't that mean putting me in danger?" Continue Agni.
"Haha... You don't worry Cu, it takes a very long time to be able to erode the true aura of a dog-beating stick, soon the aura of the stick will be eroded completely, let alone the paddy snake that will help me, no matter what, and you were born close to the end of the stick's aura" Chua Pek Dong said.
"What about Eyang's book?" Agni still asked.
"I've been scraping it for a long time, Eyangmu. The crazy boy was too weak to take so long just to erode the aura of the bamboo stick" Takada Tanaga said.
"Haha... He's..Paddy snake! Why didn't you just hold the stick?"timpal Chua Pek Dong's.
"I gave you a chance" said Takada Tanaga again.
Agni immediately cut off the conversation of the two old men rather than them fighting back.
"Oh yes, when I drowned yesterday, I found something that caught my attention" Agni said, then picked up something from the pouch hanging on her waist.
The two old men were wide-eyed and shouted at the same time.
"Jade grass....????"
"haha... You're really lucky Cu, the sky has chosen you, even the paddy snake doesn't necessarily have this jade grass either" Chua Pek Dong laughed very happily, saying, because Agni found a high level herbal plant at least a thousand years old.
Jade grass, its shape is very similar to seaweed but can grow anywhere, even on rocks though. The texture is more chewy than ordinary seaweed, if seen as a sparkling jade.
Each color indicates the age of the grass. From the lowest are yellowish white age 0-100 years, then yellow aged 100-500 years, light green aged 500-1000 years, dark green is 1000-1500 years old and the highest is dark blue, more than 1500 years old.
Jade grass nourishes the cultivation base, increasing the soul power, mental and spiritual strength, as well as physical strength and healing power. But since it had been hundreds of thousands of years that no one had ever found it, many cultivators thought that the grass was extinct.
"It is not unexpected that in remote places such as Java, this Jade Grass actually grows" said Takada Tanaga.
Unlike other types of grass that grow with many clumps in each growing area, jade grass can only grow 3 to 4 clumps only.
"Try you back where you found the grass, lucky if you can still find two or three more jade grasses" he added.
"Good teacher, I'll try to find him." Agni
"So Master, can this grass be eaten immediately?" ask Agni next.
Chua Pek Dong and Takada Tanaga looked at each other, then naturally the two agreed.
"Of course you can, but don't eat here. All you need to feed is your real body, not your soul. If you eat here, it will not have any effect on your body actually" replied Takada Tanaga giving a statement, but actually, there is something hidden from his testimony.
Agni then kept the jade grass back in her pocket, she planned on eating it after coming out of the soul realm. A moment later Agni wanted to continue her question, but Chua Pek Dong preceded.
"Bad brat, now listen. You need to focus on training your physique first. Inside the ring I kept some equipment that could help with your training" Chua Pek Dong said
"Your physical strength is essential to contain the energy that you will store in your body. If your physique is too weak, it will be bad when it holds too much energy"
"Practice some basic moves from the book in your head, without the need to use Qi"
"Now come back, I will go with this paddy snake to finish the aura erosion some time, remember, practice earnestly!!!"
"Well, Teacher, the student won't disappoint" Agni said as she saluted.
The two old men immediately shot up onto the golden lotus that was still floating in the air, then flew into the hall of light which then disappeared after their entry.
