Chapter 4: the past (3) – the six foundations

The six foundation, are foundations for cultivation methods, but if a person cultivated only one foundation they could start using the cultivation method corresponding to it, for example if one finished the body foundation they could start using body cultivating methods, but normally a cultivator wouldn’t do this as by finishing all six foundations, all the body parts would have adopted to the chaotic energy, so he can easily purify it to the energy needed in the cultivation method, while using a cultivation method without all the six foundations, one would cultivate slowly until his body adapted to the energy, and the cultivator himself lagged in strength compared to those who started using a cultivation methods after finishing the six foundations, but of course there is a special case for everything.

Huang dong stood up unsatisfied as he looked towards Huang tian after he finished his evaluation, he thought he did good, but he was still beaten by Huang tian, also there was that kid Huang xie, his guts told him that he didn’t do it with all of his spirit and that he was still hiding some, and he always trusted his guts.

“Ahhh.”

Huang dong roared out of frustration, he wanted to try again but he knew everyone only got one chance he genuinely thought if he could do it again he would get better results, as he left the circles the instructor announced.

“Huang dong, sensing reached 95 circles,

Gathering the equivalent of 92 circles

And controlling reached 90 circles with energy as a thin rope.”

Huang tian almost laughed when he saw Huang dong unsatisfied look when he looked at the circles, it looked as if he wanted to fight his way through and try again.

After finishing the evaluations for all the kids in here the instructor shouted loudly.

“Congratulations for those who did well and for those who didn’t, don’t feel depressed or unwillingness the results were fair and it would be the same ever if you tried again, and remember there are always another ways to gain recognition, therefore always try your best and never give up.”

The instructor stopped there then looked around and noted those who had a determined look in their eyes, he nodded towards them and continued.

“Today, you all will start your body foundation and take your first step towards the six foundations realm, those who start their foundations in the next five days will have their evaluation raised based on their time, after that it will not affect your evaluation so give it all you got in the next five days.”

The instructor took them back to the edge of the arena and explained the six foundations realm, the body foundation was fusing the chaotic energy with the bones, the flesh and the organs except the heart, making the body stronger, the blood foundation was fusing the chaotic energy with the blood and storing it in there so it would act as a catalyst and perfect the fusion between new blood if added or when one cultivated their own unique blood, Dantian foundation was using the chaotic energy to open the meridians and the Dantian and then fuse it with them making them sturdier and bigger, spirit foundation was purifying the chaotic energy to chaotic spirit energy to open the spiritual palace located in the head and then fusing it with the spiritual palace to make it bigger, the unique foundation was to rotate the energy in the heart as a tornado then suddenly rotating it one strong rotation in the opposite direction making the tornado dissipating the energy to every corner of the heart to fuse with it after repeating the process many times a space would open in the heart which is for unique cultivation methods that would be weakened if cultivated in the Dantian, combat foundation shouldn’t be a rank but it was that important to be considered one, combat foundation is never cultivated to its end, the first stage is to use all foundation simultaneously as if controlling ones limbs, and to efficiently use them in combat, the second stage was after using cultivation methods and consolidating them is to combine their effects making one’s own moves and techniques that are only suitable for them.

After the instructor finished explaining and demonstrated body foundation, everybody sat in lotus position and started their body foundation.

Huang tian was glad he kept the energy he gathered from the poles, because now it will be much easier and faster for him to start body foundation and enter the six foundations realm.

Bit by bit Huang tian started fusing the energy to his bones, flesh and organs but every time he tried his energy would be repulsed back, times and times he tried but it was the same result, biting his lips decided he would gamble, he forced all the energy he had in them without a single reserve, hearing a sound similar to a clicking sound, all the energy dissipated and only some small amount of energy was stored in the bones, flesh and organs, but Huang tian felt happiness because the hard part was over, he had officially stepped in the six foundations realm now all he had to do now was store energy in them until they were saturated, opening his eyes he found his body covered with impurities, he stood up and before he could say anything the instructor looked at him with admiration and said.

“The bath is the next building.”

After coming out Huang tian found the instructor was gone and that everyone has gotten up, and only a few seemed happy, he looked around but he didn’t see Huang dong or Huang xie, as expected they also made a breakthrough to the six foundations realm and entered the bath to remove their impurities, after waiting a bit everyone gathered up and waited for the instructor.

The instructor finally arrived he stood firm and steady then announced.

“Everyone listen up I will announce the results,

Huang Lan 3rd grade talent,

Huang…… 3rd grade talent,

……………………………..

Huang xie 1st grade talent,

……………………………..

……………………………..

Huang dong 1st grade talent,

………………………………

Huang tian unknown talent,

Everyone except Huang tian report to the assignment department for further instruction, Huang tian follow me.”

Huang tian nodded unconsciously while in deep thought, ‘unknown talent’ kept ringing through his head, he thought it would be prefect talent or at least top talent, he wouldn’t say he wasn’t disappointed nobody doesn’t want to be called top genius or unprecedented genius who has perfect talent but it seemed this wasn’t case, he thought more deeply about it, what does unknown mean, something undefined, something that wasn’t known, something never seen before!, when he reached that thought everything cleared up, now he understood his talent was something that never appeared before, so normal evaluations couldn’t measure it, his talent was really unknown.

The instructor looked at Huang tian who was deep in thought and laughed out loudly before saying.

“Just follow me everything will be explained when we reach our destination.”

Huang tian chuckled inwardly, he forgot that he was still in the body of a child, but his spirit was in his thirties.

Huang tian followed the instructor, and while walking he saw a gloomy looking man frowning that was coming towards them, before he could reach them, the instructor said to Huang tian

“Wait here, I am going to finish a thing and then come back.”

When he talked with the instructor at first everything seemed fine but as they kept talking the gloomy man kept frowning more and more and a cold aura was added, as he was watching the conversation go on he heard a voice from behind.

“You better not involve yourself in things that would get you killed.”

He turned around to see a kid wearing black clothes with his dark black hair covering his eyes.

“Is there actually someone who could kill inside the Huang family city? If there is I would really like to meet him.” said Huang tian sarcastically.

Huang xie grinned “fool around while you can, but you better be careful as you might get killed without even noticing, nowhere in the Huang Family city is safe, you better watch out.”

“Huang xie come here.”

Huang xie turned around quickly and said “yes father.”, and then turned his head to Huang tian and said before going “Be careful.”

Huang tian left quickly following the gloomy man, but before going away the man looked at him, Huang tian felt a deep chill run down his spine, The man raised the corner of his mouth and then left.

The instructor came back and took him away but Huang tian felt him acting colder than before, before he could think why, they had arrived already to their destination.
