Chapter 486: [ World of Cultivation ]

Si Mulan sighed in the unfairness of heaven. “Wait, after you managed to memorize it perfectly and recited it by heart, I will teach you a good breathing exercise. In cultivation, you must use this breathing exercise always so that you would have no problem absorbing HouTian Qi from the surrounding.”

Allen heard Si Mulan and nodded his head in understanding. Then, following Si Mulan’s directions, Allen started short, long, long, short, long, short cycle of breathing exercise while he chanted the words Si Mulan taught him.

The ringing sound gradually dispersed.

The cultivation chant she gave him contained way too many things. Many of them were things that Allen had not known before. Thus, he wisely decided to put it aside for now and accept the parts that he could understand. However, the chant was so obscure that his brain was still in pain. He had never seen such a mysterious and complex chant.

It was obvious that Allen had extraordinary talents. Otherwise, he would not have reached the stage he was currently at, becoming the youngest God in the history of the Celestial Realm. Within the mysterious chant, he immediately understood most of the secret within it.

While sitting cross-legged, Allen had recited the Void Spider Buddha’s Heart law, spirit Qi entered his body immediately while purifying it. Qi transformed into a pure white stream, spreading in his body within bones, muscles, and meridians while making his body even sturdier.

To become a formidable martial artist, one must purify the body, both internally and externally. And at this moment, Allen is now strengthening his internal body, making his internal body bred out powerful Qi stream containing formidable power—this is Spirit Qi or commonly known as HouTian Qi.

Shortly after, he finally began to move the HouTian Qi that was rushing towards his body.

Based on the chant, the route circulation within the meridians were all quite strange. If you were able to trace the lines, you would be able to discover that the path that it travels seemed like a strange simple spider web formed within his body.

This was the Void Spider Buddha Technique —a strange cultivation method said to be almost impossible because it required eight kinds of elements to possess; Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, Wood, Lightning, Aether and lastly Void.

It was an ancient Cultivation that has been buried in the dust as no one had ever appeared in the cultivation world to possess eight kinds of elements before. It was already rare to possess four of the basic elements of nature much less all eight of them!

Si Mulan had once seen it and read it. She was once looking for a good and suitable cultivation method and had ended reading most of the cultivation method her family has, in pursuit of greater power.

One that can compare to her sister. And among the things she had found, one of the strongest and most surprising was this Void Spider Buddha Technique, an Ancient Heart Law. Sadly, she only possesses at most three kinds of elements. Since the Ice Lightning Dual Cultivation was the second strongest she found, she decided to focus on two elements in her which were Ice and Lightning.

Fortunately, she wasn’t the type of person who forgets easily…thus, she still had remembered the chant for it.

When Si Mulan was letting Allen choose what he wanted, Void Spider Buddha Technique wasn’t among them. However, the picky Allen wasn’t satisfied with the existing cultivation methods.

Thus, Si Mulan was disgruntled but then for some unknown reason, the Void Spider Buddha Technique appeared within her mind. Thus, she tried asking Allen’s elemental affinity—and the answer almost caused her to commit suicide!

Originally, Allen can use Lightning and Water, as he was already a Lagiacrus Monster King. Then, Fire and Wood, due to him acquiring the power of the Firebird Bennu as well as Maria Makiling, giving him nature’s power to heal himself after the fight with the Mummy Lord. Because of that event, for some reason, his body seemed to have familiarized itself with the power of nature causing his affinity to wood magic to appear. The proof of it was that he can use Wood Release—Though, this was just actually Allen’s basic assumption as due to his Rinnegan, Allen can easily master any jutsu as well as all five nature transformations…

As for Aether and Void, Allen had already possessed those affinities originally as he was a Half Demon-Half Angel being. Light, Gravity, and Void which meant nothingness as well as darkness. Angels use Light to fight as well as Gravity similar to Demons who also uses Void magic to use Black Holes or control space.

For Allen to possess such affinities, Si Mulan could never treat Allen as normal again!

He was basically a monster wearing a human skin!

“... I don’t know why but I feel that I would regret it if I do not pick this.” Giving that kind of statement, Si Mulan regretted agreeing to teach Allen cultivation!

What will the world becomes—with a monster like him existing…?

Si Mulan lamented but also for some reason, she felt expectations rising from within her. It’s like she found a small dull rock but when she took it back and cleaned it, it was actually a gem—it was even a diamond!

What kind of storm would this diamond ushers in this kind of poor home she had…?

One can’t help but expect something…

Looking at his figure, Si Mulan couldn’t help but smile and mumbled to herself, “Ye Wushuang, right?…"

"I shall see how much you can grow in a month...”

A stunning smile bloomed on her face. She looked like she was ready to watch a good show.

So long as he diligently cultivates, he will one day become a universal and peerless master. That is what she believes.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky and the land was totally silent; except for the blowing cold wind across the forest every now and then, causing the trees to rustle that seemed as if they're singing a lullaby.

Inside the dimmed cave, a handsome young man was silently sitting cross-legged. If one looked at him from a distance, they would probably mistake him for a work of art; A statue made by the greatest sculptor in the entire world.

This was none other than Allen Bando.

Being taught by Si Mulan for almost a day, clearing up the unknown and fog existing in his understanding of the Cultivation World, Allen immediately entered meditation.

It had already been several hours but Allen still has no sign of waking up from his meditation.

Looking at Allen falling into a deep meditation, Si Mulan found it difficult to enter her own. What had transpired today left her with a huge earthquake. Is teaching a monster, like Allen be a good decision…or a bad one…?

Since a young age, no matter whether it’s talent or intelligence, Si Mulan had far surpassed her peers; this was her first time looking up to someone of her age other than her sister. Allen was an anomaly in her point of view. He was enigmatic and an incorrigible monster in terms of common sense!

For example now…

As Allen was reciting the chants for the Void Spider Buddha Technique, all his pores were then opening and closing repeatedly. He felt a strong flow of Qi crash into him. The tingling sensation became stronger and stronger, causing his whole body which was already quite injured gravely, to cry in pain.

Allen could feel all his pores tearing open one by one like he was being pricked by needles.

Truthfully, Si Mulan didn’t expect him to be so tough. There was a price to pay when doing cultivation for the very first time and that price was a searing pain. She endured this when she was a child. At that time, she even bit her tongue so she wouldn’t scream, enduring that hellish like pain.

However, at this moment, Allen didn’t make a sound, which was very impressive.

What kind of pain was he experiencing at this very moment…?

One must know, the higher the age of someone cultivating for the first time, the stronger the pain it would bring!

... All because of the impurities hiding inside the body.

The main reason why Clan and Sect wanted to start cultivation practice in a very young age was that; it was at this condition of the body where there were still not much impurities that gathered within one’s body.

Cultivation is the process of cleaning one’s body from impurities to strengthen it as well as temper it. The Spiritual Qi of the world will rush towards the body and cleansed it, albeit forcefully… like a new owner of the house wanting to clean it. Scrub the floor to make it shine and clean every corner to avoid accumulating dust.

As someone at Allen’s age, starting for the very first time, how much pain was he suffering at this moment…?

Si Mulan can’t even imagine it.

An hour was gone.

Finally, Allen’s brow started to frown, albeit lightly.

Just how come he was so calm at all? This abnormal…how much tolerance of pain he has actually…?

Unbeknownst to her, this was actually not only Allen’s merit but from his skill [ Lifeless Physique ]. No matter how much tolerance of pain he had, he would also unable to ignore it, normally that is—but fortunately, he possesses such cheat skill. At this moment, it’s as if his spirit was separated from his body. No matter how much pain his body had, or how much it was crying in agony, he wouldn’t be able to feel it as if it was not his body at all!

He can’t feel pain at all…!

This had also become one of the greatest opportunities for Allen.

Si Mulan had never doubted Allen’s training, after all, she could sense a dense Qi pushing through every single pore of Allen’s body. Some pores were opened, some remained closed. But no matter what, Allen was surely a rare genius in the cultivation world.

This much of Qi for the very first time—how many people can do it?

It proved that he had excellent talent!

Under the moonlight, Allen’s face was clear. The serious expression that he had on his face set ripples off in Si Mulan’s heart, making it hard for her to calm down. Probably due to the pain he was experiencing or the Qi rushing to his body at this moment, Allen’s face was burning red, almost as though he just had a drink of alcohol, giving him a sense of unspeakable beauty.

She sighed and then she suddenly said slowly, “... A human’s body is like iron. It needs harsh fire to purify it so its true essence can be revealed. Due to your age, your body has accumulated too much impurity. This is only the beginning; no matter how painful it is, you must endure it.”

Her voice was like a refreshing stream of water from the mountain. In an instant, it cleared Allen’s mind. If one had good eyesight, they would have seen the pores that were pushing Qi through now kept opening and closing. The HouTian Qi followed this weird meridians route and began to circulate.

The first circulation obviously uses up an enormous amount of energy. However, Allen was able to fight back the tiredness and tried to maintain and complete the HouTian Qi circulation.

The strange meridian route was extremely difficult to circulate. Even if Allen tries to desperately control it similar to how he controls his mana and chakra, he would still fail repeatedly. However, he did not feel rash about it and maintained a calm state as he circulated it over and over again.

This process lasted for a few hours. After repeated failures, a tiny portion of the HouTian Qi finally passed through the final meridian under Allen’s careful control.

When the HouTian Qi passed through the final meridian, the originally transparent Qi began to change. The color gradually became a dark and deep color, like a deep abyss, without a depth to be seen.

Only now can the Qi be truly called HouTian Qi. And although this dark HouTian Qi seemed quiet and reserved, Allen could vaguely feel that underneath this quietness is a hidden overbearing a fierce feeling.
