The Asura Immortal Asuras

CHAPTER 13: 13

Chapter 13: 13

John follows his father out of the backyard and into a small martial arts training area whose home is there. It was quite smaller than the main training area of the clan, but it was quite suitable to be trained by two people. The training area was a round platform that was forty feet in diameter. A small path surrounded the training platform. A small river surrounded the path, with a wide variety of flowers and medicinal plants growing by the river.

Barden walked to the elevated platform and walked to the center, before calmly sitting in a meditative position. John followed his father's directions and sat opposite him, mimicking his sitting posture.

Inhaling deeply several times, Barden sat there for quite a while before speaking to John, “Did you manage to feel the Qi in the air during your meditation?”

John, who drew and exhaled deeply in the same way as his father paused for a moment before replying, “I don't know. I have only been in the Blood Refining realm for about a week now. As I sat down to cultivate, I thought I felt something, but I wasn't sure. Sometimes I would get into a trance and realize my skin would start tingling, like something was crawling on it, but other than that I haven't really felt anything yet. ”

Barden looked at his son, a slight smile on his face as he replied, “The amused taste you feel is the Qi around who responds to you, almost like a summoning. Even though you yourself are not aware of it, it is the first sign that you are starting to feel the Qi in the air. Most people take several months to reach that stage,

Barden paused for a moment before continuing, “‘Callation’ Your Qi draws it to you, but you're not sure what to do next, and that's why it feels like a tingling. You bring Qi to your body, but then that Qi is just dancing along your skin because there is nowhere else to go. ”

“The next step after you learn to summon the surrounding natural Qi is to pull it into your body, through your meridians, and into the area that your Dantian will form. This step will also take a little while as you learn which parts of your body allow this transfer of Qi from your skin to your Dantian, but if you keep trying it, you will soon master it. “

“After you learn to draw Qi into your body, you should guide it to the exact location your dantian will form. This location is three fingers below your navel, and two fingers behind. After repeating this process continuously, the Qi you gathered there will start to fuse together, and once you store enough Qi in this location, it will begin to fuse together, a point would appear naturally as he condensed and was transformed into a Dantian. ”

Barden paused for a moment, letting his son absorb the information he had just conveyed before continuing, “When you suddenly feel a surge of power flowing into your body from your Dantian, you, that is the point where you will know that you have successfully stepped into the Fog Creation Realm. “

A stern look flashed across John's face upon mentioning the realm of Fog Creation. Barden notices this, but says nothing as he lets John continue to digest the information he provided. After processing everything his father said, John calmed down and began to focus on his surroundings.

Exhaling quietly, John focused his mind and slowly forgot his surroundings, his father, and even himself. Voidness filled John's mind as he instinctively began to guide the Qi around him into his body.

A shocked expression appeared on Barden's face as he looked at John in front of him. “Is this a joke? She entered a full meditative state just like that?” Barden said nothing as he watched John cultivate. With the Core Formation cultivation realm, Barden could see the Qi around him slowly drifting towards John, finally stopping at this skin and circling around. But soon, Qi began to disappear.

The shock on Barden's face grew clearer as he muttered “He has already absorbed the Qi? How challenging is my son's heaven? First he fell into a full meditative state which was something that only a cultivator could pray for, and would be lucky to reach a few times in their life, he said, and then he started absorbing Qi on the same day by learning how to do it? “

John sat in that state for several hours before slowly opening his calm eyes. He needed a few seconds to wake up before analyzing his body.

“Dad, I feel it. I finally felt the Qi where my Dantian would form!” John called his father happily.

“That's what you did to my son. You have crossed the second to last barrier to become the realm of Fog Creation. Now all you need to do is continue this way until enough Qi is gathered to form a Dantian. Here.”

A book appeared in Barden's hands, then he handed it to John.

“What is this?” ask John.

“Our clan cultivation technique” replied Barden with a serious expression. “This is one of the most guarded secrets of the clan, and one of the reasons for our regional supremacy. You can develop this, but you have to make sure it never falls into the hands of the enemy.”

John grabbed the book with a serious expression. He opened it to the first page and started reading. The book details how to absorb Qi from the air, which acupoints absorb Qi, and which meridians guide Qi to the Dantian. It also contained some other methods to increase cultivation speed.

John could not help but smile enthusiastically as he tried to return to cultivating.

“Ah, sorry Dad. I just got caught up in the feeling of cultivating. I have never felt so alive” replied John with a smile on his face.

“I know. This is truly one of the greatest feelings a man can experience. Now, soon you will become a Fog Creation Cultivator, and once you become one, you should know how to continue advancing your cultivation steadily.” replied Barden. He waited for a few seconds for his son to calm down and focus before continuing.

“Mist Creation is broken down into three small domains; early Mist Creation; middle Mist Creation, and late Mist Creation. There was also a peak Mist Creation, but it was not his own realm, and was only referring to someone who was at the peak of breaking through to Qi Condensation. “

John carefully listens to his father as Barden explains everything he can to John.

“In the early stages of fog making, your body is strong enough to receive the natural Qi that flows around us. As Qi flows around and through us, our dantian begins to form and fill with a small amount of Qi. The initial condensation of Qi was very light and hardly too conspicuous. To increase your Qi density and advance to the middle of Fog Creation, you must continue to absorb Qi naturally and actively through training and meditation. There were also things called spirit crystals that one could absorb, but it was only used for higher cultivation levels due to the chaotic energy they possessed. “

“By the way, as I said, absorbing more Qi will thicken the dantian mist, until it is quite thick and more visible. At this stage, you will be ready to break through to the middle Fog Creation realm. That will be at this point your first congestion will occur. Congestion occurs on every major and minor realm enhancement. The reason for that was because each realm used a slightly different Qi essence to cultivate. Although the Qi itself is the same Qi that you absorbed earlier, you must have a higher understanding and understanding of the Qi nature before you can start using it to cultivate. ”

Barden pauses, noticing that John looks very confused. He cleared his throat before continuing,

“Consider it like this, when you first start practicing your sword arts, you start with the basics; breathing, horses, grip, and posture. Only after mastering the basics can you hold the sword with confidence and start learning the basic forms . Again, only after you have mastered the basic forms can you understand the next set of forms. This was precisely how Qi cultivation worked. You must fully understand the Qi essence in your current realm before you can advance to the next realm. ”

A glimpse of understanding came to John's mind as things began to make sense to him. “I think I understand” John replied as he continued to echo his father's words in his mind.

“Good, good” replied Barden with a laugh before once again continuing, “After you are ready to break through to the late Fog Creation, the same bottleneck will occur again, and then again at the peak point of Qi Condensation. Every advancement of nature will come with obstacles that you must break. Another thing to keep in mind is that great world progress comes with barriers that are much harder to break, but we'll discuss that later. ”

“Another thing I want to mention is to understand your Qi essence, there are two ways to do it. One is through meditation as you just did, and the other is by actively using your Qi from your Dantian. Using the Qi of Your Dantian will help you understand faster, and the best way to do that is by fighting. “

Barden paused for a moment before looking at his son seriously and continued, “This brings me to why I let you out into this world. I understand your reasons, and I disagree with them. The fastest and most natural way for you to increase your strength is to fight. I know your mother doesn't want me to tell you this, but the more intense the fights, the more your life is at stake during the fights, the faster your cultivation speed will be. . ”

A puzzled expression once again appeared on John's face, but when he thought of his encounter with the Dark Spotted Panther, John began to understand what his father was trying to say.

“When fighting at the risk of life, your body will instinctively use the Qi of your Dantian in the most efficient and optimal way to increase your chances of survival. Even if you don't realize it when you're struggling, being in this state of optimal use of Qi will subconsciously allow you to understand the nature of Qi faster than if you were just meditating alone. Also, sometimes the bottleneck will never come off no matter how much you meditate on it, and the only way to progress is to use your Qi in the fight and become accustomed to using it. ”

All the teachings that John had listened to slowly began to come together, allowing John to understand the big picture of the essence of cultivation.

“I think I understand. Thank you so much dad” replied John with a face full of gratitude. His cultivation before this day could be described as stumbling in the dark trying to find what he was looking for, whereas now he was on an illuminated path walking straight towards his destination.

“Now, one last thing I want to mention is about your soul. When you break through to the Fog Creation realm, your newborn soul will form naturally. The heavenly law itself is responsible for shaping your newborn soul. Each of your main realms.By breaking through as well, your soul power will strengthen. “

“Your soul is there now, but in a state too weak to interact with it. Your soul is useful for many things, but most let it strengthen naturally and not focus on increasing their soul power. This is mainly due to the potential for a soul attack. Attacking with a soul is much harder than surviving with it. Unless you have a very lucky state, your soul is very difficult to improve other than passively growing stronger as your cultivation grows stronger. Only those with variant souls focused on soul power, as they had a natural birth advantage that made it worthwhile to do so. That's what I want to say about it. ”

Barden let his son reflect on everything he was talking about for some time before speaking once more, “Now that you know all this, I'll allow you to leave …
