Chapter 42: He's really not his Master's disciple
After returning from the Mu Xuan Immortal Mansion, Shi Xia's phone was unresponsive. No quests were issued, and no strange maps popped up. She had too many questions to find answers. She showed her brother's photo on her phone to Chi Hou because she still had doubts about her brother being the Demon King. But Chi Hou's affirmation confirmed her doubts.
The Demon King is indeed her real brother!
Chi Hou couldn't comprehend what the black hole that appeared in the Immortal Mansion was, but could feel that the hole contained the laws of Heaven and Earth. The so-called laws of Heaven and Earth are like the Heavenly Dao, a bit different but can be considered as the impressionist of the Heavenly Dao. But everything in the world can not derive from the laws of Heaven and Earth.
It was unknown why the Secret Book of Mixed Elements' turned into a badge, or the map to the Mu Xuan Immortal Mansion appeared on her phone. But it was obvious that the mission in her cell phone knew that the box in the Immortal Mansion would shatter like that and open a horrible hole like that from a long time ago. She was purposely guided there to fix it up.
But why did his older brother leave that box behind, and what was his connection to the mission in her phone? It seemed that the only way to learn the truth is to find him in person. Bi Hong said that the Demon King, Shi Dong, had disappeared for a hundred years. Whether he had really disappeared or had traveled back to the original world, it was necessary for her to get to the bottom of it. If he had disappeared, she would have to find him. And if he had gone back, it would prove that there was still a way to travel to her world, which makes it even more important to find him.
As for Yuanwu, who threw her off the cliff, Bi Hong said that from the day she disappeared, Yuanwu also disappeared and never appeared again. Shi Xia could feel that there was something wrong with the whole situation, but couldn't think of a reason.
She and the older brother were separated by hundreds of years of time difference. And it was unknown what he had done to this world to accumulate so much hatred. What killing countless people and exterminating their entire families? Shi Xia didn't believe it. Her brother at best can only be considered a comedian. Even killing a chicken makes him shake like a leaf, but killing people? Don't joke.
She asked Chi Hou about where the Demon King was last seen and learned that the last place he appeared was Dreamless Realm'.
"What is this Dreamless Realm'?" Shi Xia raised her hand and asked.
"A Secret Realm at the South of the East Sea." Chi Hou replied, "It opens once every fifty years, and cultivators below Nascent Soul can enter it."
Secret Realm! Isn't this the rhythm of opening another mission?
Wait!
"Below the Nascent Soul stage? Didn't you say the Demon King's cultivation level was at the God Transformation stage?" Then how did he get in?"
Chi Hou shook his head, "That day, he did say he wanted to go to the Dreamless Realm'. As for whether he really went and how he got in, I don't know."
Shi Xia clenched her fists, "No matter what, I have to go there." Maybe I can find a clue there! "When is the next time the Dreamless Realm' will open?"
"Five years from now."
"That long?" Shi Xia deflated like a balloon.
"Historically, those who enter the Dreamless Realm' are all Golden Pill stage cultivators." Chi Hou gave her a look, "It's too early for you."
"Then I will start forming my Golden Core." Last time, she was blessed by a disaster and raised her cultivation level from Qi Refining to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in one breath. The next step should be forming her Golden Core or Jindan. As long as she could do it within the time of five years, she would be able to enter the Secret Realm.
"You can't form your Jindan right now."
"Why?"
Chi Hou frowned, "Have you looked at your meridians?"
Looking at the meridians? Shi Xia shook her head.
"Take a look, you will know once you look at it."
Shi Xia immediately crossed her legs and sat in a lotus position before closing her eyes and calming her breath. Opening her internal vision, she was shocked to see the state of her meridians. The meridians of her whole body, including the Dantian, became as thin as a sheet of paper. As if any little amount of spiritual energy could break it. Even the sapling of the Spiritual Root was also full of cracks, as if it would break the next moment.
"With a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, you have forcibly built your foundation, so your cultivation is naturally unstable." Chi Hou said in a deep voice, "The most important thing for you to do is to close door cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise "
Otherwise she is finished. Shi Xia felt very heartbroken, "there is really no hope of forming the Jindan?"
Seeing her disappointed look, Chi Hou wanted to assure her so he couldn't help but nod his head slowly, "There are still five years left before the Secret Realm opens. If you start close door cultivation right now, then perhaps You can."
"Really!" Shi Xia's eyes lit up, "Then I will start to close door cultivation right away."
"Hmm."
Chi Hou was right, cultivation isn't something you can force to become an immortal. After this time, she deeply understood that cultivation in the Immortal Cultivation world is like learning mathematics, science and chemistry ah shucks! It's actually learning the techniques to increase the cultivators lifespan and their cultivation levels. If it were not for Chi Hou, not to mention the possibility of returning alive, she would have been killed when she encountered Ji Han and his companion, let alone entering Mu Xuan Immortal Mansion. Her journey would have been finished at the starting line.
So stabilising the condition of her cultivation is a must. Chi Hou searched for a place for her close door cultivation. It was none other than Bi Hong's house where he lives! Chi Hou couldn't provide her the cave he uses as his close door cultivation since he made holes on that cave's wall. After teaching her how to run the Qi through her body to stabilise her cultivation, he left her alone to cultivate.
Before she went to close door cultivation, Long Aotian came to see her. His injuries had all healed and he decided to go back to Dragon City. Shi Xia gave him the book of Martial Cultivation heart methods that Chi Hou gave her at the beginning. The book Secret Methods Mixed Elements' can help a martial arts practitioner to reach only the Foundation Establishment stage, while this book can help him form his Jindan and reach the next level.
Long Aotian also didn't hesitate and accepted it. With a touched face, he patted her shoulder and declared that he wanted to be her brother from now on. But out of nowhere, Chi Hou slapped him in the face and sent him down the mountain in one go.
My sister is mine, who dares to rob her! |*0*|
Shi Xia finally began her close door cultivation. Who knew these close door cultivation will take three years.
Three years later
When Shi Xia opened her eyes again, she ate a mouthful of dust. Her whole body became like a literal statue, several layers of dust were covering her body along with a foul smell emitting from her. With a little movement, clouds of dust fell from her body. Barely standing by herself, Shi Xia pulled the door open and walked out. She wants a bucket of water to wash this bucket of dust.
"Xia Xia." Chi Hou instantly appeared in the doorway the moment she opened the door. Shi Xia didn't see him for three years but his face looked extraordinarily bright, almost blinding. With an expressionless face, he extended his towards her. If she didn't know any better, she would have never understood what the gesture meant. But after knowing that there's a soft man living inside, she immediately understood what he meant He's begging for a hug! -_-!
Shi Xia looked at her dusty body before asking, "Are you sure?"
"Shi Xia " he said, still holding his hands stretched.
Okay little soft man! I'll satisfy you! Shi Xia hugged him without hesitation while deliberately patting him hard. So that the dust could fly more and the "fragrance" from her body could be smelt more intensely.
"I'm finally out!"
"Well cough out cough cough, it's good! Cough cough."
Seeing his coughing face turning more and more white, Shi Xia couldn't help but wonder If you can't stand all the dust and smell, why not let go? You are not a washing machine, why are you hugging me so tightly?
Chi Hou smoothly used cleansing the body trick and all the dust from her body instantly disappeared. Even the strange, unpleasant smell also disappeared. She smoothly pushed Chi Hou away and checked her bright white as new clothes. She forgot that there is a body cleansing spell that can clean everything with a snap.
"Chi Hou, I can form the Jindan now, right?" There are only two years left now, she had to hurry up and reach the passing line.
"Call me Brother!" He reached out to help her smooth the hair on her forehead and said, "Forming the Jindan is not yet possible."
"Why?" Isn't her cultivation all stabilized?
"Do you think that the Jindan is cabbages and radishes planted on the fields, so easy to form." Bi Hong appeared out of nowhere and gave her a sidelong glance, "Once you enter the Golden Pill Stage, there will be a clear difference between immortality and mortality! All practitioners entering the Golden Pill Stage have to practice a heart method that matches their Spiritual Roots. Do you know the corresponding heart method?"
"Heart method?" What is that?
After Bi Hong's explanation, Shi Xia learned that the so-called heart method is a set of rules for the operation of the spiritual energy in the body of the cultivator. Each kind of spiritual energy is different, with the heart method, they can improve themselves with the usage of a variety of techniques. It was like installing a new computer. Below the Foundation Establishment stage is the computer program, forming a Jindan means installing the system software, and the heart method could be considered as Windows. Some install XP, some Win7, some Win8, according to the different Spiritual Roots, there are many versions of Windows. And various arts are like the QQ, WORD DOCUMENT and other applications on the desktop.
She now just arrived at the time when it was her time to install the system software. Then the question came, which technology ah I mean! What system should she install for her Spiritual Roots?
Not XP, not to mention Win7 or Win8. She wants to install Win11!
****
There has never been a person with pure Yang Spiritual Root in this world, so there is no gong method suitable for her at all. Knowing the truth, Shi Xia's eyes drooped down with tears.
The good news is that the pure Yang physique is so powerful and able that she could install any high leven Windows. But if there is no operating system available, there's no use having it at all ah!
"It's okay." Chi Hou could understand her heartache. He stroked her head while trying to soothe her, "your Spiritual Roots are very special, and you can practice any kind of heart method. But since you have a single attribute, you can barely use any other techniques."
In other words, she is still useful?
"Your cultivation has just stabilised, there is no need to rush to practice heart techniques." Chi Hou continued, "Although you are still at the Foundation Establishment stage, if you dive into cultivation, there are many spells that are stronger than having a Jindan."
"There are spells that are stronger than Jindan at the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"Hmm."
"Master you're not trying to teach her Falling Star, are you?" Bi Hong interjected with a surprised face.
Falling Star, is it very powerful?
Chi Hou stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards her forehead lightly. Instantly, a large number of images flashed before the eyes. A very small man was showing a variety of moves. The images stayed less than a moment and then disappeared. But those moves seemed to have been engraved in her mind. When her body moved, the limbs seemed to automatically move like those moves. So convenient ah, if the English teacher had this skill, how good the result of her fourth grade would have been.
"A sword can break all laws. Among the cultivators, a sword cultivator is the most powerful of all. This is a set of sword art that your brother practiced, it's very suitable for you to practice."
"You've really passed her the Falling Star technique." Bi Hong wanted to cry, "Master, you didn't even teach it to me!" He really isn't his Master's disciple.
Chi Hou gave him a cold look, you are not my sister, stupid disciple, get lost!
Bi Hong: " "
