the system went off as Yan Yun's bloodshot eyes looked at Sora, if looks could kill then Sora would have died countless times over.
"... you don't want to seat?" Ling Yu asked with innocent eyes as she looked at Yan Yun rage grew, giving Sora a new wave of rage points. Sora smiled as he looked at Ling Yu, she was truly helpful.
"Maybe he is afraid of dirtying the seats," Sora said with a mocking smile. Yan Yun couldn't take it anymore; his chest was going to explode from all the rage.
{successfully enraged Yan Yun, you have received 101 rage points.}...
a huge wave of rage points sounded within Sora's head as Yan Yun took out a sword attacked Sora, Sora smiled as with one finger, he blocked the sword. shocking everyone as he didn't even use Qi to block the sword.
With grabbed the sword, and with a slight pull, Yan Yu was pulled towards him. Sora placed his finger in front of Yan Yun's forehead for a flick
"You when from being all angry to being scared to this degree... how sad," Sora said with a smile, as he went on to knock out Yan Yun with a flick to the head. Sora calmly stood up while looking at Ling Yun.
"I'm sure we will meet again, until then," Sora said with a smile, Ling Yu just watched Sora leave with a smile. But when Sora left, she looked at Yan Yun. she frowned as she realized she going to be in slight trouble with what happened.
She frowned as she went on to take out a ribbon that wrapped around Yan Yun, picking him up as she left. She returned to the mayor's mansion, by the time they returned there Yan Yun had already awakened.
"Big Brother, something interesting happened." Ling Yu said with a smile as she saw a middle-aged man, along with the city mayor walking out of the mayor, he smiled slightly seeing his little sister was in a good mood, but that smile slowly disappeared when he realized she was in a good mood
"What happened?" He asked with a frown as he looked at Yan Yun who was trying to hide his rage, Yan Yun remembering this man's background didn't dare to speak, as he acted as if nothing happened. but when the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, he quickly spoke of everything that happened in the restaurant,
"Sigh." the middle-aged man sighed as he looked at Ling Yu, but he was curious about this young man. as for helping the city, Yan Yun started it, he got what he deserved for bothering a hidden expert.
"May I know where lord is going?" The mayor asked calmly as he looked at the middle-aged man.
"my Ling Clan needs to expand and grow. this city is just one of the few cities I will take in. I will go to the other clans and unit them." the middle-aged man said seriously, the mayor nodded in respect as he saw the middle-aged man disappear along with the Ling Yu.
a few minutes after the middle-aged man disappeared, the mayor's body exploded with killing intent. someone dare to embarrass his son in this city, he of course will not rest until Sora is captured and brought before him. the guards were sent out to capture Sora, as the city was locked down
Sora didn't rest as that day he found all the young monsters within the city and enraged them in some way. the whole city couldn't rest due to his action, and everyone was searching for him. when the 4 great clans and the mayor found out they were looking for one person, they united to face this huge trouble
but days went by, and their rage only grew when the guards they sent out were brought back and beaten badly. the whole city was enraged, even those normal citizens were annoyed, as they all cursed Sora none stop.
{gained 100,000 rage points, does the host wish to use the wheel?} the system asked as Sora sat on a tall building while looking down below at the people searching for him. Sora smiled as he went on to use the wheel and watched as it spun in front of him,
{Congregation host, the Sage of Six Paths cultivation art. A godly grade cultivation art. cultivating this cultivation art builds the body to have unmatched talent in the way of Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water, Yin, Yang, and Yin–Yang. upon reaching a high enough level, one will gain special energy, much stronger than other forms of energy. one will special abilities, the sage of six paths physique, and the eyes of the sage of six paths..} the system said as Sora eyes brightened, was this not what he wanted?
Sora could now cultivate his Qi, allowing it to be like his body, able to skip levels. Sora smiled as he began thinking of how to leave this city, there was a barrier that made it so no one could leave, but one could enter.
He had to cultivate the sage of six paths cultivation art up to level 7 copper rank, this could take a few years. it sucks that he couldn't cultivate it like the Monkey King or The Solar Energy Cultivation art.
Sora had to cultivate 5 things now, His mortar arts, Dao, and the 3 cultivation arts. He had to do these 4 things which will make his cultivation speed slow down, this is not adding the number of resources that would be needed for this. the Solar energy cultivation art was alright as he didn't need to worry about the resource for that cultivation art, but the other 2 took up a lot.
ignoring all that, he also had to look at the side effect of cultivating so many cultivations arts. at the lower level, this was not huge, but as the effect of each cultivation art grows, they would start to come into conflict with each other. So, Sora had to keep them in balance, while slowly trying to find a way to make these cultivation arts become one. but that could take an unimaginable amount of years.
But Sora was not worried, if a cultivation art grew too powerful, he will just suppress it to make the other equal. the only thing that would have an effect this huge was the monkey king cultivation art, and that would be if he took an injury that put him on the edge of death.
Sora looked around the city before flashing towards a huge forest, he went into the forest and went on to use the monkey king staff and stabbed it into the ground. after which, he stood on top of the stand and had it expand all the way to the sky before stopping when he almost touched the barrier.
the staff was not that wide, barely as wide as a finger. standing on this staff, Sora began trying to learn how to balance himself on it. this was actually a part of the sage of the six paths cultivation art, to cultivate this cultivation art, one needed a be able to enter a calm state of mind where their head was completely empty. or else one couldn't cultivate it. there was also more requirement for this cultivation art,
after gaining a calm state of mind, one needs to be able to control physique energy like stamina and mental energy. these two energies had to form into one to form chakra, and when one cultivates this cultivation art to the 7th level, they needed to combine Qi and Chakra to form new energy called senjutsu energy.
but to even reach this, one needed to know how to control their energies, and not just heaven and earth energy. the requirement for that was a calm state of mind
Sora of course fell off the staff many times, but he took out the flying sword to fly back up. this went on for an hour until Sora could stand on the tip of the staff with great struggle. by the next day, Sora was standing on the staff with closed eyes. he stayed like that for a full day and night, in a state of complete empties.
a week later, Sora opened his eyes as his physique energy was being controlled to further boost his physique body. this energy was as stronger than his Qi, Sora's body was powerful that in return reflected on his physique energy, so it was stronger than his Qi which he barely cultivated.
Sora cultivated like that for the next few days, thanks to being at level 7 copper rank, his absorption speed of Qi was high, so he was able to cultivate the sage of six paths cultivation art to the 3rd level in 1 month.
"Over there." a yell sounded from afar as a group of cultivates from the city headed towards Sora, Sora who was snapped out of his calm state mind struggled to remain balanced. Sora frowned as he looked at this group of cultivators heading his way.
Sora jumped slightly, the staff under his foot suddenly shrunk before widening. Sora stepped on this staff as it floated in mid-air, with hands behind his back, Sora's calmly looked at these cultivators who were all at the peak of the copper rank.
"Sigh, I should just return come," Sora said softly as he pulled his fist backward, before sending Qi rocketing at the group of cultivators and sending them flying back to the center of the city. turning back to the barrier, Sora fist punched forward with the 9 dragons might fist, shattering the barrier before flying off.
Sora's strength didn't improve by much in this past month, he simply didn't want to damage the barrier as it would damage the city. he came to cause trouble, but damaging the city was a bit over the top. but he no longer cared now, plus this will give him a new wave of rage points,
'The sage of six paths cultivation art says one should be able to enter a calm state of calm with a thought, be it while moving and so on. but this will conflict with the monkey king cultivation art... I have to be able to not let the effect of the monkey king cultivation art overtakes me, I have to control myself." Sora said softly as he closed his eyes and tried to enter that state while controlling the staff to fly forward
Sora had to learn, and through combat is when one could best learn someone. when a person's blood is rushing, pushed to their limits then they can draw something out even they didn't know they had within them. the monkey king cultivation art was built around the say, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
while on the other hand, the sage of six paths was about a strong mind, and strong body, balance, and reaching a new state of mind and being. the monkey king cultivation art was about raw power, while the sage of six paths cultivation art was about being skillful and calm.
As for the Solar energy cultivation art, it made one into a battery. absorbing energy and storing it in your cells. every single bit of one cell will be filled with energy until one reaches a level, they were a walking moving sun.
Sora soon arrived back at the sect, and he made no progress in his training to enter a calm state of mind while moving. upon returning home, Sora went on to cultivate and began absorbing energy to quickly cultivate to level 7 of the copper level.
But after a few months, a knock sounded at Sora's door. he had already reached level 4 of the sage of six paths cultivation art. when Sora opened the door, he saw it was an elder of the sect who had brought a message. the old alchemist was done from making pills all day and was ready to meet him. it has been almost 4 years since he has seen that old man, so he happily went to go see the old man.
"... you're have grown." the old man said with a smile seeing Sora who looked much older than when they last meant, Sora smiled slightly seeing the old man. the 2 quickly caught up as they walked around the inner region of the sect.
"do you plan to take part in the annual sect ranking?" the old man asked, confusing Sora as he didn't know what that was. Sora knew there was ranking, but he didn't know of the annul sect ranking
"Every 10 years, the clan holds a tournament to rank the most outstanding sect disciples. those who can come in the 10 will be rewarded with many sect resources and even some treasures. first place will be rewarded with a silver rank pill. on top of that, once in the top 10 will be able to compete for the sect in the annual hundred sect gathering." the old man said as Sora's battle spirit filled his eyes.
the hundred sect gathering was a gathering of all forces, not just the sects, even the empire, will take place to show off their forces. those who can rank number one will not just gain a higher fortune for their sect, they will gain the to enter a holy ground left behind by an expert above the silver rank. there were many other befits, the fact they will gain the favor of heaven and earth alone was enough for people to lay down their life
"... I know you will aim for first place, but I should warn you of the danger. the hundred sects gathering is a dangerous time for dangerous. many forces will aim to take out those who are at the top of each sect." He said seriously as he looked at Sora, who calmed down slightly upon hearing his words
"The ranking is in 3 years, take this time to break through to the iron rank. you will face many in the peak of the iron rank, and some could skip levels of their own." He said as Sora nodded in understanding
the two talked for some time before Sora left to enter closed-door cultivation and went on to reach level 7 copper rank of the Sage Of Six paths cultivation art in 1 year. when he did, Sora left the sect and went to find a place to begin the fusion of Qi and Chakra.
His Qi was much stronger than what it was years ago, his Qi and Chakra were equal in power, and he easily fused the two energy, and went on to form Senjutsu. the combined power from Qi and Chakra was not a simple 1+1 -2.
this energy was not just stronger, it was of a higher quality. his Qi should be copper, yet it was a pure blue color. Sora felt that even without any of his weapons, Sora could match those at the peak of level 7 iron rank. he was only at late level 7 copper rank, yet he was able to defeat those with such power without any equipment.
as with equipment, his power could match those at early level 9 iron rank, which was 12 levels above his own cultivation. Sora returned to the sect and went on to try rising each cultivation technique to the 8th level, for this. for this he only cultivated the solar energy cultivation art, and the Sage of Six Paths cultivation art. as for his Monkey King Cultivation art, it will improved through combat,
as Sora cultivated, within the Fu clan, within a secret chamber an old man was pouring his cultivation into Fu Bo's body. Sora only destroyed his cultivation, but Fu Bo could still create, Fu Bo was a talent within the Fu clan, it was because of him becoming an inner sect disciple that the sect could reach the level it was today.
most of the resource Fu Bo gained from the sect was given to the elders of the clan to help raise the sect's power. in return, the sect secretly helped Fu Bo with his missions, allowing Fu Bo to gain a bunch of sect credits within a short amount of time. the clan also swallowed many smaller clans, allowing the clan to grow, there were even many sects that joined them willingly.
Fu Bo was a talent, the most talented within his clan. Fu Bo also deeply cared for his clan, as he was willing to slow down his own cultivation to support his clan. on top of that, the same was even more so for his little brother. he would do anything to help his little brother,
the elder who was pouring his cultivation into Fu Bo was already at the edge of his lifespan, but he was already at level 3 iron rank. by doing this, he will surely die, but the future of the clan was all that mattered, Fu Bo's cultivation has already regained up to level 9 copper rank, the shocking part was that he was stepping into level 10 of the copper rank.
the fact he had to recultivate allowed him to fix the flaws he had in the past, perfecting those mistakes allowed him to reach this level. although not perfect enough to form the spirit body, it was enough for him to reach level 10 which was shocking. in just 2 years, he would have not just regained his strength, he would be stronger by a few times.
within the Ling Clan, Ling Yu was looking at a sword that her elder brother was handing to her.
"Elder brother left this sword, and now I'm giving it to you. father had no interest in expanding the Ling clan, and so did elder brother. but since I'm the Ling Clan head, it's my job to do this, we can't always rely on elder brother but aim to stand on our own two feet." The middle-aged man said seriously as he looked at Ling Yu who nodded in understanding
"I'm not as talented as you, I might never reach the silver rank. but your future is much brighter than mine. I will lay the foundation for you, but when I'm long gone, I will leave everything to you." He said with a smile, Ling Yu frowned at his words
"... I'm sure elder brother has a way to have you break through to the silver rank or even the legendary gold rank." Ling Yu said seriously, but the middle-aged man shook his head
"He might never return from where he went... enough about me, you are all that matters. I just wish to live long enough to see my home grow." He said with a smile,
"don't worry, I will take first place in the annual ranking." She said seriously, the middle-aged man nodded as he left her alone. Ling Yu sat on her knees as he studied the sword which had a blue glow to it, this was an item above the silver rank.
