The Book of Gods

012: Leaving the Forest of Demon

“This Book of Gods is actually the Secret Book of one in the White Stream Sect in the Upper World. Based on the memories of Xian Long that I have managed to dig and Kuusun the sequence, the contents of the Book of Gods that master gave this is only half the original.”

Chen An's clear explanation, making Fei Long's memory go back five years ago when there was a fight at the top of Mount Huashan.

“Is Xiang Long a member of that sect, so that he can find out the contents of this Book of Gods?”

Chen An let out a long sigh, then He explained that Xiang Long before becoming Tianchang's secret disciple, was a disciple of the White Stream Sect.

But because of his ambition, he stole the Book of Gods from the library of the sect and escaped from the sect. He was hunted by the Sect Elders and eventually saved by Tianchang.

“Did Xiang Long also have learned the entire technique in this Book of Gods?” Fei Long asked with a curious look on his face.

“Not yet Master .. He has just learned some techniques. That was why He was almost killed by that white-flow Sect Elder.”

Fei Long nodded his head. “An’er .. Can you understand the instructions in this book?” Chen An nodded his head. Knowing this, Fei Long's eyes immediately lit up.

“Good if so..” Fei Long then asked Chen An to tell him the clue. Chen An complied, then explained a technique called Earth God Fist, Fei Long was seen silent with a frown.

“What is qi? How's get? Would if it had no qi, not be able to master that stance?”

Chen An nodded his head which made Fei Long instantly go limp. “Already ... Looks like I'm not in a match with that Book.”

Fei Long darted into the cave. A moment later He returned with a small bundle that He had tied around his waist.

“An’er .. You're a big boy now, can take care of yourself. The teacher will be gone for a while. You can go out of this stealth forest, only if you have mastered all the techniques in the book of Gods.”

Chen An nodded his head and knelt down in thanks to the Master who had been taking care of him since five years ago. Fei Long then gave the Demon Crystal Sword to Chen An.

After that, Fei Long darted away leaving Chen An who was looking at him with a sad face.

“Why do I feel like I won't be meeting with a teacher in a long time? May Master be fine, and return after I have mastered all the techniques in this Book of Gods.”

After the departure of the Master, Chen An then opened the Book of Gods, which contained the original technique as He knew it.

There are some original techniques in the book. First, the Earth God Boxing Technique consisted of three moves. Second, the Wind God Kick Technique which had two moves. And lastly the Fire God Sword Technique which had five moves.

“I have enough time to learn it to perfect mastery.” Chen An stuffed the copy of the Book of Gods into his robe.

Day after day, Chen An went through hard training learning the techniques of the three techniques in the copy of the Book of Gods.

**

Three years have passed since Fei Long's departure, which has not returned. While Chen had managed to master the ten inner moves that were in the Book of Gods Copy.

His mastery of every single skill, had reached the level of perfect mastery.

At the very least, Chen An had possessed three thousand inner power circles. The amount of energy in a swordsman is determined by the number of energy circles in each muscle of his body.

A Sky Level Swordsman like Fei Long, had at least two thousand inner power circles in his body.

Meanwhile, the qi energy possessed by Chen An now numbered at least five hundred crystals. Every single crystal of qi, was equivalent to ten inner power circles. Yet the power of one crystal qi, was equivalent to a hundred inner power circles.

Chen An knew how to turn the inner power into that qi energy, based on the memories of Xiang Long who was in his head.

Other knowledge, Chen An got from the memories of humans who came from the upper world. Such as cultivation techniques, totokan techniques, seal techniques and also floating techniques in the air.

But so far, Chen An had yet to understand why the Mustika Star that sealed Xiang Long's memories, could be inside his body.

“What exactly is Mustika Star? and what is the purpose of that mustika being inserted into my body that is in the underworld? Where is the Upper World? How can I be in that world?”

There were so many questions in Chen An's mind, that he could not get the answer, even though he had repeatedly dug up information from Xiang Long's memories.

“Looks like I have to leave this Demon Forest. The teacher has not returned for years. Is he okay? I have to find him.”

That morning, Chen An decided to leave the Demon Forest. He wrote a letter to his teacher first.

After finishing with all his preparations, Chen An then shot into the air twenty meters high. Standing on top of a tallest tree sprout his gaze.

“In which direction should I look for a Teacher?” Chen An closed his eyes, recalling the direction in which the Master had darted and left him three years ago.

After confirming the direction his teacher was heading in first, Chen An immediately floated towards the north. Along the journey through the stealth forest, Chen An could see the shattering of bones from the demon he had killed, during his eight years in the Demon Forest.

“It turns out there are also many demons that I have killed. Has my murderous aura been enough to make a swordsman fall unconscious?”

Curious about it, Chen An intended to test it out later. After a dozen kilos floated in the air, Chen An finally arrived outside the Demon forest territory.

“I'd better just walk during the day, so as not to invite the attention of people.” Chen An darted down from the air, as he found a large road, three kilometers from the edge of the Demon forest.

Chen An walked down the road with his footsteps. Several times he used his body. Several times he met with a group of traders who were escorted by dozens or even dozens of warriors.

However, they all only glanced at Chen An who chose to pull over, letting them pass first.

When it was dusk, Chen An finally arrived in a small town that he remembered eight years ago with the Master.

“Show your identity young man?” One of the six city gate guards, blocked Chen An's steps and asked something that made Chen An confused.
