Chapter 198: Blessings of the ancestor-(1)

"The second element you require is a powerful Qi which would be able to extrude such a massive effect. Normal Qi methods wouldn't be able to cultivate such high-quality. Just by experiencing the power extruded by the Qi from your body, I can assume that the cultivation method you are utilizing should be much more sophisticated from any method I have seen or practiced in my whole life."

"I also feel that the Qi extruded from your body is a mixture of multiple types of Qi. It means that you are practicing more than 1 Qi method."

Lu Ming never expected that the ancestor would be able to see through his disguise. He even pointed out that Lu Ming was utilizing more than one type of Qi from his body. Just how powerful this guy was. The secret behind his Qi methods cannot be communicated to other people. This was the first oath he took when practicing the Qi methods.

The man could see the struggle in Lu Ming's eyes. It could only mean that the QI methods he practiced were quite valuable and secretive. 

"I can derive from your expression that the Qi methods are extremely valuable. I wouldn't try to pry any further into your secret. Practicing an extraordinary Qi method is a blessing as well as a curse in its rights. Although the power granted by a powerful Qi method is extraordinary, the number of resources and efforts which go into practicing it is enormous. I hope you never get devoid or exhausted from the path you currently walk on."

"I have high hopes for you. I feel that you have a much higher potential than me and would be a great figure in the future. All I hope to ask you is to never turn your back on the Pill Valley. This is a force I created with all my efforts with the hope that it would someday be a hegemonic force in the whole Qi continent."

"Coming to the matter at hand. Although your Qi methods are quite amazing, I feel that you are not yet able to combine the Qi within them. The only plausible explanation for such an occurrence is that each of the methods you practice is extraordinary in itself."

"As I explained earlier, an extraordinary Qi method is a curse as much as it is a boon. The art you are trying to create would be able to reach its maximum potential only when you can combine the various types of Qi you are practicing. If you would ask me, the current you are not powerful enough to forcefully combine the two Qi types into one."

"I would like to gain some pointers from ancestors regarding this subject." Lu Ming couldn't even begin to imagine the boost he would get if he could combine all three types of Qi present in his body. Crimson Lord Qi, Hell-Heaven Qi, and his genuine Qi were individually possessing incredible power. If he could blend them and form a single type of Qi, just what sort of power would it have.

"Your shamelessness is quite adequate to walk the path of martial arts, boy. Although I am someone who has quite a huge trove of experience in cultivation, I, unfortunately, cannot help you much with this prospect. The reason behind this is the scriptures you are currently practicing. Each one of them is heaven-defying. I am not proficient enough to possess the knwo0ledge to blend them."

"On the other hand, I could show you the path which might lead to such a future. But It would depend on your abilities to achieve such a result. Cultivation itself is a path that goes against the will of the heavens. The path which I am going to show presents even more denial to the heavens above you. If you do accept, it would be akin to slapping heaven and tearing your way through it."

"Do you still want to hear out the method?"

Lu Ming closed his eyes for some time. He remembered his whole journey until now. Each step he walked presented him with a new set of difficulties and yet he overcame them and stood at the top of everyone in his generation. How can he back down now? The path he chose to walk on was designed to dominate heaven. How could he back-down in the face of adversities?

When Lu Ming was getting his thoughts, the man could see a unique atmosphere around him. "The boy seems to have gained comprehension on the path he walks on. His talent is quite incredible to be able to derive meaning from my words. I look forward to the future."

"The amount of determination required to walk this path is not small. If his will is not tempered enough to face the obstacles, he is bound to fail."

..................…..

"I am willing to walk the path ancestor." Lu Ming's eye had 

"Good. The way which I am referring to is to create a bridge between the arts. The only way you will ever be able to even go near the stage of combining different types of Qi, is by harmonizing the Qi first. You need to create a bridge that would be able to blend these Qi and help them interact with each other.

"Although I can't give you pointers on stage after that, I could help you get to that stage. The bridge I am referring to is a container that could hold multiple types of Qi at the same time. Although your body is holding all these Qi, they are not mixing, existing separately. You must not be utilizing them in sync, or even together many times."

"The way to achieve harmony between these three types of Qi is to start mixing them first. Try to mix them within the body. Remember that the amount you should be trying to mix should be very small so that the backlash from it is not big."

"The second part is to circulate the Qi within your body so that your meridians become strong enough to bear such a force."

"The last part is execution, which requires an art that is capable enough to utilize all three of these Qi."

"The dominator's fist is good enough to take care of the third party. As per the first part, I would like you to start practicing Taoist art which can be attributed to reversal."

Lu Ming's eyes shone brightly. He did have a technique that used the art of reversal. "I do have a technique like that ancestor." He began showcasing the technique to the founder.

He was surprised by the fact that this boy even practiced the art of reversal.

...................

"The art you practice does involve the art of reversal, but its quality is poor." He came forward and touched Lu Ming's forehead with his fingers. A massive amount of information began to be transmitted to Lu Ming's brain. 

"The circle of Tao."

"The art transmitted to you is the best one I have in my possession for your stage. Practice it to perfection. The art you practiced before could help you understand it, and hence the training period would be quite short."

"How would this help me, ancestor?"

"When you enter the stage of Kings, you need to synchronize your body with a law. As you know laws are also categorized as human, earthly, and heavenly. Given your practice, you can surely hold multiple Laws that are attributed to the arts you practice and I hope you aim for the topmost law type, Heavenly. Although the amount of preparation required is huge, I hope you are patient and only break-through when you are confident."

"Even Heaven laws are divided into many kinds. Elemental laws, weapon laws, the law of the body, and composite laws."

"If you want to succeed in creating the harmony of your Qi, you need one of the composite laws within your law base. The law is called Ying-Yang. Although the two words are often attributed to two opposite kinds of power, the true meaning behind them is to harmonize between different kinds of energies."

"Only by cultivating the law of Ying-Yang would you be able to create a harmony between the extraordinary Qi present within your body."

Lu Ming's thoughts were thrown into disarray. He never expected such a strict requirement for just the harmonization of his Qi. The path was quite difficult to walk on. Just the burden of connecting with the heavenly law of elements and various weapons he practiced already massively, but he needed to even prepare to connect with a composite and complex law such as Yin-Yang.

Although the difficulties were quite high, he was thrilled with the benefits they might bring to his future.
