2021-08-11 20:41:01Fu Lin had taken them to show the common dorm for the new joinees of the year. There was a separation between the buildings for girl's rooms and boy's rooms. Each of them had been assigned a simple looking room with essentials like a bed, a few mats, cushions for seated cultivation.
The building had a huge courtyard that had koi ponds and bamboo fountains making the atmosphere calm and relaxed. Luo, Hua, Zhong Bai and Zhong Gui went into their rooms to get settled. Xun'er followed Hao Qi and Cai MingZhu went after both of them had already made a move on. They were all instructed by Fu Lin to get settled and rest and that she would take them for a tour of the sect come sunrise.
'I finally made it into a sect. It all feels a bit unreal if I look back at all the things that have happened till now.' 'What are you counting your stars for already. You just got in here and if I'm not wrong that Xiao Wu and the Heavenly dragon sect elder were not pl

They then made their way to a plain area with a lot of identical buildings with courtyards and gardens separating each building. "These are your classrooms. For today we will be going over the basics of cultivation and then we will decide on what techniques to practice for each of you."Fu Lin then went over the levels of cultivation. "First there is the Gathering Qi level where the cultivators first learn to feel Qi and then use it to enhance their physical abilities and as they reach higher levels they will be able to emit Qi from their bodies.The next realm is the Qi Condensation realm where you will cultivate to slowly condense your Qi, make it richer and you will focus on filling your Dantian with the Qi and learn techniques that can give your Qi an attribute.In the True foundation realm you can learn to finely control your Qi and techniques are practiced that will increase the capacity of your Danti

Luo took some time to write 6 copies of the '36 walls of Soul' cultivation technique and handed it to everyone else. Cai MingZhu took her's and said "Well, I have an idea that will restrict the bought copies to the buyer so that others will not be able to make copies themselves. I'll let you know once I've succeeded."Luo and the others, armed with a copy each, started to copy more books. Their target was to reach 1000 as that was the strength of the Ancient Zither Abode sect. It took them a couple of days and they pulled all-nighters to finish copying all 1000 copies of the manual. Hua was starting to hallucinate letters and so he stopped in between, but Hao Qi was extremely efficient.Xun and the Zhong twins were playing around at times but when Luo and Hao Qi glared at them, they would get back to the work at hand.Cai MingZhu joined them and showed them a set of 1000 papers with 2 simple engraved runes written on them."I u

Luo looked at them and said "You know it's things like these that can hurt a man's feelings." They still maintained the distance although they were grinning a little bit. "So, what is your cultivation level right now Hua?" Luo asked him. "Peak of the 5th layer of the Qi condensation realm, you?" "Half step Qi condensation realm (as in almost into the Qi condensation realm 1st layer). So we have both made good progress huh. Thanks to all those pills that Xun'er bought for us from our sales of the 36 walls of Soul manual." "Yeah. I felt that even my share was quite a bit of money and mine was just around 2% of the share. Not to even mention your huge 90% share. What do you even plan on doing with that much money?" " I have a few ideas. I will tell you once they pan out" Luo smirked and started to stretch. "Ohh acting all mysterious are you? Before you act all smug, you should know that you smell worse than a skunk. Let's go wash
XianXia : Sovereign of the Gods Chapter 25: Breakthrough to Qi Condensation realm
With the runes activated and everything ready, Fu Lin started playing her 'Blossom and the Mount Tai' song on her Zither. As her fingers started flowing on the zither, the surrounding sounds of the forest, the birds, the insects all stopped and all that could be heard was the tune that emanated from her zither. Her eyes were semi closed and as she started to play, through the zither, her soul force was unleashed in waves akin to the depth of the music she was playing. In some parts of the music, light and airy, Luo and the others felt a smooth pressure on their souls which coaxed and shaped their soul force slowly. She was in a trance and in this song of soul, she lost herself completely. When there were parts that made one feel as if an invisible heaviness was infringing on you, Luo and the others felt an almost unbearable pressure and all of them had to activate the 36 walls of soul technique. This was completely opposite to th

She then went into detail and explained the importance and significance of the Royal Library. "In all of its floors, the pressure on your soul increases as you keep on going to higher levels. Soul cultivation techniques are pretty rare when compared to normal cultivation methods. The 36 walls of soul technique is a bit different among the normal ones as well as it is a defense technique that uses your current soul as the basis and provides defense, but it has to be practiced in every new soul realm and the discoveries in each now soul realm would be different and the technique changes accordingly. You will naturally know more when you advance and we can talk more about it then. But back to the topic of the Royal library; it was the initiative of the Minister of the Right of the Imperial force to improve the forces of our province and recruit any promising youth. The winners of the Summer competition are kept an eye

Hua and Luo got ready the next morning , donning the robes that Master Fu Rah had sent over to their rooms earlier, the day before. Hua was wearing a white robe with a bright red inner shirt and also donned his red headband, with his sword sheathed to his back. 3 spherical bells were attached to his sword's scabbard. Luo wore white robes with a black shirt underneath. He had his 2 ft long zither in its bag slung across his shoulder, resting behind his back. Cai, Xun, Hao Qi and the Zhong twins were waiting for them at the esplanade. "Both of you, make sure to get something great from the Royal library." Xun'er said. Luo grinned and let them all in on what he was thinking. "You know guys, I have gone through what master Fu Lin said yesterday and I am sure that I can again pull the same thing as with the 36 walls of soul again in the Royal library. She said that we are allowed to peruse the library for a whole day. That means that if I find what I want

The day arrived and it was a breezy sunny morning. The drill sounds of the army could be casually heard as Master Fu Rah along with Luo and Hua were walking towards the registration counter to enter the common area of the Royal Library.As they reached the gates, they saw that there was very tight security outside the gates. Everyone standing there was a peak True Foundation realm cultivator. The receptionist receiving everyones badges and registering them for entry into the library and explaining the rules of the event to them was someone in the Core formation realm.When master Fu Rah and Luo, Hua arrived, they walked towards the receptionist and Fu Rah handed over the tokens depicting the region and the place in the Summer competition over to the receptionist.“Ah, Mi

As they started to climb the stairs to the highest level, the pressure on their souls increased exponentially. Their Qi was draining at an alarming rate and they were having to restore it again and again which made their progress pretty slow. They finally made it to the highest floor with an hour to spare. Everyone else had many chances to go through different manuals and pick up techniques that they thought suited them best but Luo and Hua did not have that luxury of time anymore. Gi Doh commented while looking at Fu Rah, "Just an hour left sect master Fu Rah. What do you think they will pick?" "Let's wait and see master Gi Doh. If they were able to reach that place, it is upto them to pick what they feel is right for them. I wish I could guide them, but really their battle skills cultivation will have to be by themselves as no one can really help anyone in fortuitous encounters like these." Panting heavily, Luo and Hua looked at the cultivation manu

Chapter 44 - Messenger at the Ancient Zither Abode
Luo had made amazing progress with the short scythes and in extending Qi to his weapons. But his most valuable progress was to his soul cultivation because of painting 10000 runes in the room. Now both Luo and Hua, with just a month left to leave from the secluded cultivation, sat down to circulate and refine their Qi. **** With it having been a month and a half since everyone went into secluded cultivation, Pan Hua was guarding the entire sect and taking care of administrative business of the sect without any major incidents happening other than arguments with a few merchants. He had even gotten new trade deals by being more shameless than the sect master usually is. With a couple of weeks left before the sect master and everyone came out, Pan hua got word of summons to open at the sect gate. Pan Hua greeted the messenger and bade him to follow to a guest house. Once inside he offered hospitality for the messenger in the form of tea and some snacks. “Well, what is your name and w

“Alright let's go.” Luo said as he got into a soft stance of Iron and wave steps. Hua immediately started with a few probing attacks and started attacking Luo in predictable patterns. “Let’s first get you accustomed to using the short scythes. We can slowly scale up after that.” “Alright. Sounds like a plan” Luo and Hua clashed again and again as Hua broke Luo’s attempts one by one. But Luo used this feedback to remove his faults one by one by trying out new things each time when one attempt failed. He would tweak the attack a little until it could be at least successfully parried. He tweaked all of his attack patterns like this in a slow, persistent spar with Hua. After a week of sparring, Luo got the basics of the schort scythe down. WIth excellent feedback from Hua and his revision of the memory where Yama and master Yin fought, he could improve by leaps and bounds. He had a basic framework down from watching the memory play in his mind again and again. He got to practice these

Luo continued his work and he was done with completing the ten thousand runes on each tile of the room by the ninth day itself. He was exhausted but it didn't really show because of the Heaven and Earth Qi he was absorbing. He looked over at Hua who had been alternating between meditating and then practicing the Clap and Thundering slash according to the manual. Now that he had a couple of days till sparring started, Luo sat down to collect and refine his Qi.His soul cultivation had a surprising benefit by him painting thousands of runes. He could see wisps of world formations inside his mind. When he asked master Yin what it was he got the answer “This is the benefit of soul cultivation. As you cultivate your soul, your senses become sharper, you will get resistance against mental cultivation techniques and if you learn those techniques on the Phantasmal spirit crystal you got from the library then it will give you a much better repertoire of techniques.”“Master, what techniques do

Although everyone was shocked that Hua had regressed , they understood the logic in his acceptance of it. Fu Rah bid Master Yin a farewell and prepared for an immediate set of instructions for everyone gathered there.“All of you who have reviewed blessings from the great master Yin, you will all have to focus on closed door cultivation, even us teachers have to do it. I want us to be in great shape before we receive any unwelcome guests, of which believe me there are soon going to be plenty.Luo and Hua, I believe it is best for the both of you to temper your cultivation levels by listening to Master Yin and practicing the techniques you have received from the Royal Library. I believe progress there will not be wasted. Both of you are to train in battle tactics with each other's company under Master Yin’s guidance.Everyone else, please go into secluded cultivation and start practicing the techniques the master has given you. The time limit for now is 2 months. At least for me and m
Chapter 40: Tempering of the Rival
After he opened his eyes, Master Yin asked him “What is your answer to my question?” Hua replied “I know that the physique and the techniques of cultivation that Luo practices may be much better than mine, but still, if I doubt my ability to reach a stage in the future in the present moment, then why even cultivate, why even aim to attain the heights of martial dao? What gifts he has gotten, the universe has given him, and it is not unthinkable that I will have fortuitous encounters of my own in the future either, right? That is my answer to your question Master Yin.” “Whoa..that is a very good insight into the way of the Dao or the mindset one needs to pursue it. Good to see that my test did not break your spirit. Worthy of your name ..Geming. And this master has a good reward for you as well. You see I showed Luo a couple of memories so that he can pick up a technique by seeing it, but he picked up the technique of my rival…can you believe it? My useless disciple did not pick up

Master Fu Rah came to Luo and then asked him “So, what do you want our help with in training? We will help you with whatever you need, no holds barred.” Luo looked at his friends and then at Hua and Xun’er and smiled “Master, I don’t want to be the only one who is favored. These are all my friends and I want to grow alongside them. I don’t want to just be singled out for getting help. I have received help from all of them when needed and would like for nothing more than to grow along with them.” Fu Rah was brought to tears which she held back barely. She nodded and then gave everyone a bear hug at once. “Yes, yes, you are all kids I have had my eyes on. Did you know that our sect does not even have proper core disciples, as not many would join it and all the applicants would just go
Chapter 38 : Luo's Revelation
Fu Rah, followed by Fu Lin and Ren Cho, entered his residence. Master Ren Cho went to get some tea for everyone while Luo, Hua, Xun’er and the others followed and entered the hall as well. Hua and Xun’er were the only ones standing beside Luo, looking back to back at him and then at the others. Cai MingZhu, Hao Qi and the Zhong twins went and stood beside master Fu Lin. Fu Rah had a serious expression but she waited for Ren Cho to pour some tea for everyone. Luo refused the tea, to which master Ren Cho said “Kid, no one is going to punish you or cause you any harm. We just want to know so that we can give you the treatment that can foster your growth and think of handling any unwanted outside interest in your powers.” Luo sighed and took the tea that was served t

Ren Cho was at the middle layers of Core formation and had not advanced in a very long time. But he had a flash of inspiration from the drawings that Luo had drawn and went into secluded cultivation for the day. He could feel the intent of movement , of balance between soft defense and hard defense and the flow of offense in the movements. Although it was more natural with scythes and Ren Cho did not use scythes, but a staff, the profundity of the movement still allowed him to take his own insights and use it for his staff techniques. He was burning his Qi at an amazing rate. It could be sensed by master Fu Rah and Fu Lin and other masters of the sect, even from afar. Fu Rah rushed into the scene thinking something had happened only to see that Ren Cho was in closed cultivation. She intimated the same to the masters that had followed and ordered them to quietly sit outside in the premises and not make any disturbances. She inquired about
Chapter 36: The Day off
"So have you figured out how to use the Phantasmal spirit crystal yet? I don't think your Qi will be enough to actually use it now, will it? And what do you think the training in store for us will be?" Hua asked Luo. "I haven't figured that out Hua. And as for training, I suppose we'll see in a couple of days. For now, I just want to eat like a pig and sleep." "How about this, how about we spar tomorrow? Huh? Huhh?" "What brought this on? And I don't want to fight you until I have a proper melee weapon. My long range attacks won't work on you and my other techniques are too lethal to be used in sparring." Luo responded. "Ehhhhh~~~. Well alright. We should go on an adventure to get you a named weapon after our training ends. Short scythes huh. Well, we can go ask master Ren Cho about it. He might know more." Hua said. Luo raised his eyebrow and said "Well, who knows how long the training will be for? To master your technique and
