The darkness was swept throughout the continent. Dazzling and timid lights came from stars and moon. This was the night time. Right now, the Cheng family's palace was shining bright. The walls were huge and the palace was itself mighty and beautiful. There were different colors on different projections of walls. The presence of beautiful calligraphy on it made the palace even more beautiful. These calligraphies were drawn by Muchen when he was young. It was also one of the reason for the jealousy of his clansmens. The azure coloured dragon shaped head with twin horns at the top of the palace made the palace look a bit intimidating as well.

That night, the triplet of Father, son and grandfather were having a good dinner. Needless to say, the one who was cooking and serving them was Muchen's mother.

Even Cheng Muchen was shocked to see his mother's cooking skill. He, as the Great professional focused on perfection in his previous life, so he was an expert on cooking skills as well. He'd to agree that his mother needed some guide on food dao and if given some time, she would become an excellent Chef. In his mind, he already thought of training her on food dao.

"Son, you're really awesome, to be able to defeat opponents a level higher than you can be called peerless talent, let alone you, who can defeat opponents 2 levels higher than you."

Hearing the praise from his father, Muchen smiled lightly.

"Father, you praise me for nothing! Its just 2 levels higher. What will happen once you know I can beat opponents of 3 levels, 4levels or even an entire realm higher."

"Haha, you really know how to joke. Come, take the wine."

Muchen also laughed. He knew no one would believe what he said. Even he, himself doesn't know his exact limit on combat strength. Only by fighting, could he know this.

"Father, do you know the power distribution in this world? and how big is this world?"

"Haha, I know this but as a patriarch of the clan, I think grandfather would be more suited to explain it to you."

Cheng Mufeng also nodded his head. He was willing to explain these things to his son.

"Listen Chen'er, the power which you speak of are some big families, sects and even imperial families which rules a kingdom. Speaking of this, our world is very big. Outside of our Meng province, there are many stronger provinces. It could be said that our Meng province is weakest out of them. All of these provinces constitute our kingdom. The name of our kingdom is 'Green frog' empire. The imperial family which rules this kingdom is Qin family. There are 3 sects in our kingdom namely, the Magic art sect, Sword art sect and Mysterious dragon sect. The Mysterious dragon sect is the strongest here. The experts on our Meng province, is like me at the apex of qi refining realm. After qi refining realm, comes the true body refining realm. Outside Meng province, true body refining realm can be found in those sects and some big families. This is what I already know.

Cheng Muchen nodded after listening to all of this.

At this time Hongji's voice sounded in Muchen's consciousness.

"Master, if you wanted to know this power distribution, you could've asked me too."

"I know. But I wanted to talk about this from my family, after all you slept for millions of years so how can you tell current era's power distribution?"

After knowing this, Hongji was embarassed to say anything and didn't say anything.

....x....x.....x.....x.....x...x...x.....x.....x....

The next morning, Cheng Muchen woke up inside the palace, before the sunrise and went to exercise his body. He practiced Dragon elephant boxing in his personal courtyard. He always felt that this boxing was special and it was hiding some deep secret.

After practicing it until the sunrise, he stopped and looked at the sun coming from the horizon. He felt enlightened as he muttered "Sun rises from east and fell in west to find itself in east on other side of horizon..The dragon elephant boxing at entry stage is very simple like entering a punch like a dragon from elephant but at mastery stage it's like a dragon giving it's all to hit a elephant..."

He fell onto enlightenment and sat in meditative stance.

He stood up while he was in meditation and started punching like a dragon but at the same time a dragon elephant's roar was heard and a shadow of a great giant appeared which was like a specy of elephant and dragon. A dragon-elephant shaped qi could be seen rising and falling under his fists, just like sun rising from east and falling to the west.

After 3hours of meditation, Muchen woke up from his meditation and laughed "Ahahaha, this Dragon elephant boxing is my first martial technique to be completed to qi stage."

Earlier Muchen's Dragon-elephant boxing was only at the false qi stage. Even with Muchen's talent he didn't knew this. If not for the sudden enlightenment, he would've never known the real Dragon elephant boxing.

"Alright, I'll cultivate the Azure Dragon roar to Spiritual realm as well."

There were two types of cultivation in Muchen's previous life, one was Martial cultivation and other was spiritual cultivation. As the martial god of 5 great professions, Muchen was the dual cultivation god. Needless to say, he was  planning to do the same in this world. The first spiritual technique he wanted to master was Azure dragon roar. Though, Muchen already mastered it in previous life but due to his reincarnation, he needed to practice again to reach the same stage.

With that he roared, roared and roared for some hours. These roars at the start, only frightened palace's guards. But then, the roar suddenly changed itself in intensity and an immense dragon roar was heard. This roar was enough to scare the palace's guards. Even the parents of Cheng Muchen heard this shout were startled. Every clansmens who were near the palace almost lost their soul but Muchen held the roar back when he saw that it was almost harming everybody near him.

"Hahaahaha, I finally reached the spiritual realm of Azure dragon roar."

"Congratulations to master for reaching the Spiritual realm of this great move. To reach the spiritual realm and qi realm of martial and spiritual arts in matter of hours, you're really an existence which will reach the top of heaven sooner or later. Sigh.."

In this spiritual and martial cultivation world, the martial cultivation was mostly cultivated, the spiritual cultivation was done by alchemists, formation masters and other people who needed soul's strength.

Muchen was opposite, he believed that siritual realm can also be used to fight people. Thus he had some combat type spiritual moves which were his very secret.
