'Dad always ranted on and on about the energy between heavens and earth, saying that this information was passed into the family from generation to generation, and it was from my father to me'
'Before this I always thought it was some prank or a misconception passed from one generation to another, after all how many martial practitioners were there in this world? But still no one felt this mentioned mysterious energy'
'Although the azure ball in my hand can't be the energy from heavens or earth, its still an energy, most probably it should be the zombie's energy source, the more they eat the better they cultivate'
Thinking so far, Keta was proud of himself. But suddenly what he said to himself just a moment ago struck him like a tribulation lightning bolt.
'I..If the more they ea..t the bett.er they cultivate...wouldn't that mean the stronger they become?'
'Growing type monsters, what sick type of RPG is this? ' saying this much, cold sweat was already running down his spine.
Right now Keta was cultivating according to his family's ancient arts, according to how his father instructed him. He was actually using the information passed from generation to generation, the one he thought was the peak of foolishness itself.
What was passed on was actually the manual to cultivate the energy between heavens and earth, only in this age there was no one who could sense this particular energy, maybe it disappeared or maybe some other reason was involved but Keta didn't care.
Even though the energy from the azure ball was not the heaven and earth energy, it was still an external form of a powerful energy, so Keta thought 'If there can be mobs with item and skill drops then sure this manual can actually have some merit, there is no harm in trying anyways'.
So Keta was now cultivating according to the manual only the energy source was different. Previously when Keta absorbed the energy from azure balls, it flowed in his body freely and wildly totally out of his control, but now their movements were guided precisely according to his thoughts.
The stream of pure energy now actually had resistance, off course it was a minor one or if they went berserk in his body, he could only imagine the dreadful end he would meet.
Taking the shape of a snake, the energy was swiftly crawling through his body, after going to the section a little below his stomach, the snake started to coil, the energy started revolving and it was actually like a Tyre spinning at high speed.
The revolving spiral sucked in, fog of energy which was casually floating around in his body previously, which increased its spinning speed by tenfold.
The energy it sucked was actually what Keta got from the first two azure balls. Only that energy wasn't being utilized efficiently.
For quite some time, the spiral remained and then finally it started showing some signs of settling down. Suddenly the revolving spiral came to a halt leaving behind a core, a core of his own.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Heavens, now even he had a monster core? cried Keta in alarm.
He was sensing all the dramatic changes in his body, the technique handed down was actually proving useful.
Quickly he placed his right hand on his forehead and started to gently massage it. Thinking deeply, he was trying to remember the words his father passed onto him, what were the results if someone practiced this technique successfully?
His soul became focused on his thoughts and memory and his thoughts started flowing out like a streaming river.
'Once the specific amount of energy is obtained, one can form a dantain. Once the dantain is refined, a martial practitioner can almost have an unlimited future growth potential and even his life expectancy can increase if his cultivation increases, for the path of cultivation reach even far beyond immortality. '
These were a part of the words passed onto him by his father, when he was actually told this, he thought it was some fairy tale his father told him so he can become hardworking towards the martial arts but sadly for him Keta had no desire to achieve immortality before.
If it was not for his father literally drilling this information into his head, there was no way Keta could remember it now. Again and again his father would repeat the information to be passed on, after he wakes up, before eating, before sleeping, this information was everywhere to haunt him and he cursed his father for that.
But now he realized, sadly it was too late. He could now not apologize to his father neither can he thank him or change what had happened.
Once he recovered from the regret and despair slightly, he instantly became excited which in turn made him forget about the worries he was facing just now.
'Then...then I am....I am like the traditional wuxia/xanxia heroes now?' At this moment he was grinning ear to ear, imagining wild things which were even impossible to count as possibilities.
'What if I can actually do a Kami Hami Ha!' [Dragon Ball z reference]
In this mad joy he actually attempted to do a Kami Hami Ha and he quickly failed which was no surprise. Even if his idea was correct, he would still need time to learn the technique, even the natural born genius Goku who belonged to the mighty race of sayans needed to actually see the kami hami ha to launch it once, how could he even begin to compare himself with him.
Still Keta was very happy, every time his father told him about the information, even his father had showed deep interest and excitement in this but sadly even despite his serious efforts, there were no gains. But now he actually had done it.
'How proud would father be!' 'Hahaha....'
His laughter at this moment was very strange. As if a musical instrument was being played by an experienced expert, sweet yet sour, full of happiness yet hollow as sorrow.
