Martial Research Master

Chapter 258



258 THE BREAKTHROUGH BEGINS

Reaching the peak of Qi general was a huge achievement for Li Meng. There are ten tiers on the road of cultivation. The first is the stage of preparation and foundation building. After which comes the first triplets of levels. The first triplet refers to the building of Qi foundation. Qi child, Qi Master and the last stage, Qi general.

The second triplet is referred to as the set of Law establishments. It had three realms, namely Qi King, Qi Emperor and the very peak Qi Monarch. The last triplet is referred to as the three realms of refining. It included the realm of Qi Dominator, Qi Saint and the very last stage of the mortal world, Half-god realm.

The last stage is referred to as god-hood. It was the ultimate stage dreamt about by all Qi practitioners. Li Meng was officially in the second triplet of cultivation level. It was a huge step for his future cultivation path. He formally began to prepare for the upcoming break-through.

According to the theory he had devised, he managed to achieve all the requirements to step into that realm. All he could do now was to prepare well enough supporting elements to help him pass through the hurdles. The first set of supports consisted of the formations inscribed on his body which had managed to restrict his cultivation speed by absorbing energy.

They were already full and would break at any moment. Once that happens a huge amount of Qi would overflow through his body. He wanted to use this opportunity to make up for any energy deficit while establishing the laws. The Keeper recommended forgetting about them as of now, as the formation will automatically reverse its status when it is drained.

The second set of support was the immense number of resources prepared by the old man for his break-through. Once he discussed his idea with the old man, he agreed to act upon it. The preparation for the break-through into Qi realm always involves the huge expenditure of resources as the establishment of laws requires an immense amount of energy.

It is due to the constituent power that goes into the formulation of a law base within the body of the practitioner. Heavenly laws already required a huge energy reserve to form, while chaotic laws were a fully mysterious realm.

“I have prepared about twice the number of resources required when someone connects with a Heavenly law. When I say that, I also refer to every single type of element you referred to. Technically heavenly laws can be connected with around twelve times. You better achieve that realm, or I am going to kick your ass.” The old man was bickering with Li Meng.

“No need to be so grumpy about your loss. I will make sure you get a proper return on your investment. I will try my best to connect with that realm and I will be sure to pay your back.”

.....

The old man looked at Li Meng with an amused expression.

The last set of support which Li Meng prepared for was his avatars. They were like batteries filled with every kind of power which Li meng was going to use for the break-through. They were filled with an immense amount of energy too. They could make-up for any energy deficit.

He was all riled up for his breakthrough. The most abundant resources the old man got him were thunder elemental ones. The first law he was trying to establish was a Thunder law.

...............

“I am curious about what change would this break-through bring about.” The Keeper spoke faintly.

“what are you talking about?”

“The Origin avatar art is a huge mystery to me, as are the other two arts. When we first experimented with the Origin avatar art, we didn’t know that they could share all kind of energy which constituted his body. Even soul energy can be shared, although with a slow speed.”

“Are you suggesting that this break-through is going to affect all the avatars?”

“I am just wondering if the same is true for this break-through too.”

“I guess we will have created something which can only be termed as a monster.”

“I guess we will see when the break-through takes place.”

............................

The formation was finally set up. It was set to accommodate all the energy resources as the focal points and the formation lines as the veins. All the lines converged at a single point and that is where Li Meng sat down for the break-through. The location was isolated from the outside by the old man.

The very rumour that there was a talented individual who was about to break-through the level of Qi king. The last time these many experts were attracted to someone was when the Thunder child broke-through. Li Meng held an even better position than him. They wanted to see the extent this new talent could go.

Could he dethrone the Thunder child from his position? It was a question that burdened every mind.

...............

“You need to relax your body before starting to absorb all the energy through the formation. You could only begin the break-through once your body is absolutely full and could take no more energy inside.”

The old man instructed Li Meng about every little detail concerning the break-through he was about to undergo. They couldn’t risk a single misplacement of information. “Once the energy levels are maximum, try and sense the law energy within the world.”

“Concentrate on the law which you are trying to establish. The environment in this place is best suited for thunder energy, hence try and connect with thunder energy first. Remember the fact that the sensing of laws will always begin with the Human laws. You need to push through the limits.”

“The objective is to be able to reach the realm of Chaos laws. You would be able to sense Heavenly laws at the end, and the power exerted from them is going to be immense, but I do need you to push through.” The old man staked a lot of things on Li Meng succeeding. “I really hope that you can step into that realm.”

“I hope to be able to do that too. I promise to make history today. Even if I am not able to reach that level, I will connect with more than three heavenly laws.” Li Meng’s eyes were incredibly serious. The old man was surprised by the boy’s determination. The promise to connect with three or more Heavenly laws is still a humungous thing.

Monsters who could connect with three heavenly laws did exist in the history of Thunder Academy. Even the most talented disciple, the Mad Thunder King, is even said to have connected with four laws, making him invincible.

“Whatever you do, don’t overexert yourself. Every realm and milestone can be achieved, but the baseline is to stay alive during the whole time.”

...............................

Three men were standing around the formation, controlling the power input. Li Meng walked up to them and bowed down. “I thank senior brother for their help in my break-through. I will leave my life in your hands.”

“Master has already shared the objective behind this experiment of yours. As your brothers, we hope for the best. We wish you luck and will give it our best to supply all the energy required during the break-through.”

“I have something for you.” Another voice sounded. It was the same man who met with Li Meng during the competition. He handed out a small circular disk. Everyone present, including the old man, was surprised.

“This is an ancient support disk I found in one of the ruins. It could help you comprehend the law energy easily. I hope it helps.” Li meng thanked him and took the disk. He could feel the pressure of their expectations. He was going to try his best to reach that level.

...................

Sometime later-

Li Meng was sitting in the center of the formation, absorbing all the energy around him. Due to immense input, the saturation point was soon reached, and he closed his eyes. He began to feel the law energy around him. As per the old man’s advice, he began with the Thunder law. Sparks started to fly out of his body, covering the whole area.

“Start inserting Thunder energy towards him.” The old man instructed. The three men obliged.

The first feeling was the immense amount of thunder around him. Li meng was surprised by the feeling. It was as if symbols around him had life in them, resonating with his body. It was quite alluring, but he resisted the temptation. He absorbed more and more energy and pushed through.

Human laws have become extremely opaque and radiant. He tackled the energy around him and was finally able to break through the barrier. The first stage of law was bypassed and a new, more powerful set of symbols began to emerge around him. He was within the Earthen law realm.

.................

The artifact within his body was slowly absorbing the human law symbols. Although this was useless to Li Meng, this was a great energy supplement for a treasure like the Crimson World artifact. The law symbols were starting to mend the damage of the artifact.
