Chapter 4: Improvement and Breakthrough
After reading the system's mission, Di Sheng knows that this is the moment he has been waiting for, the fearless and mysterious life is what he has always wanted and thanks to this second chance that he is offered he knows that he has all the cards in hand to shine.
So he set off towards his room to cultivate and prepare for his breakthrough. On the way, he meets Di Yu, his maid. She wears a big, gracious smile.
Di Yu, Di Sheng's maid, is a young woman of simple but captivating beauty. She has long black hair that delicately frames her face, highlighting her delicate features and glowing complexion. His eyes are a deep brown, sparkling with intelligence and kindness.
She has a slender and graceful figure, inherited from her years of serving the Di family with dedication and loyalty. Her approach is light and silent, reflecting her respect for her work and her desire to always be discreet and efficient. If she were on Earth, no matter her country of origin, she would definitely be a recognized celebrity.
Di Yu usually wears a simple but elegant outfit, suitable for her daily tasks. His clothes are impeccable, demonstrating his attention to detail and his sense of duty to his family and his duties to the clan. Despite her position as a maid, she radiates an aura of dignity and pride, showing that she is much more than just a servant, but an integral part of the Di family.
"Yu'er, I'm going to go into isolation for a few days. Don't bother me unless it's necessary."
He said before opening the door to his room.
"Very well, I won't bother you, I hope this period will be fruitful for the patriarch."
She said bowing respectfully. But before he returned to his room, Di Sheng spoke again.
"Besides, Yu'er soon you will no longer have to be my maid and you will be able to cultivate with better techniques and resources."
After speaking, he returns to his room, leaving a confused Di Yu wondering. She knows that her physique is of mortal grade and that her aptitude for cultivation is not great, but upon hearing her master's words, a hope comes to lodge in her heart, the hope of being able to stay with her master for many more years. and his family. Di Yu is only in her twenties, she is still considered young even though she has not yet started cultivation. Her mind is attached to her master's words and she knows that he is not lying to her.
As Di Sheng stands in his room, focused and determined, he gets into the lotus position on his bed and begins to channel and condense the qi, inside his body. At the same time, he takes the opportunity to circulate his body strengthening technique, the harmonic fusion of the nine heavens.
This allows him to make his body even stronger than it already is. You should know that at the peak of body strengthening, a cultivator has a power of 2000 jins (1 jin=0.5 kg). But thanks to his technique, Di Sheng obtained a power of 6000 jins in two days and still being at the peak of body strengthening which is unheard of. He is not far from the cultivators at the first level of the qi condensation realm, who have the power of at least 10,000 jins.
However, he has not yet broken through, which means that when he reaches the next realm he will be much stronger than other cultivators at the same level.
The Nine Heavens Harmonic Fusion technique is an advanced body strengthening practice that aims to harmonize the nine types of celestial energies with the practitioner's internal energy channels making the inside of his body as vast as a universe. Thanks to this Di Sheng can exponentially increase the strength of his body and his control over the elements of space. This technique is renowned throughout the universe for its complexity and difficulty, requiring a deep understanding of cultivation principles as well as rigorous discipline.
Before beginning the cultivation of this technique, the practitioner must prepare mentally and physically. This usually involves meditation exercises to calm the mind and focus the qi, as well as physical exercises to strengthen the body and open the energy meridians.
The first step in cultivating the Harmonic Fusion of the Nine Heavens is to study and understand the nine types of celestial energies: fire, water, wind, lightning, earth, wood, metal, star and moon. Each of these energies has unique characteristics and particular affinities with certain aspects of cultivation.
Once the practitioner has gained a thorough understanding of the nine types of celestial energies, they begin to flow their qi through the energy meridians of their body. This step is crucial for opening and purifying the energetic channels, thus setting the stage for the absorption of celestial energies.
Once the meridians are open and qi is flowing freely, the practitioner begins to invoke the specific celestial energies in harmony with the nine types of energies. This can be done through visualizations, mantras or mudras, depending on the practitioner's preferences.
It is a technique of imperial rank, the mysteries and complexity of this well and truly prove it. For now, Di Sheng could only strengthen his body and open his energy meridians. But when he is in the realm of qi condensation he will be able to begin to study and understand the different celestial energies.
A few days after his isolation, Di Sheng's time finally arrived for a breakthrough. An aura of spiritual energy swirls around him, creating vortices of energy that dance in the air like bolts of energy. His eyes are closed, but inside him a world of tumult and calm unfolds.
In his mind's eye, he sees streams of spiritual energy swirling, colliding, and merging into a dazzling spectacle of light and color. He feels every movement, every pulsation of this energy, as if it is an integral part of himself.
Suddenly, an explosion of energy erupts in his mind, illuminating his entire being with a dazzling light. He feels an irresistible force coursing through him, as if waves of power are propelling him forward. Determinedly, he lets this energy wash over him, letting his mind open and merge with the infinite flow of spiritual energy around him.
In this moment, he loses all sense of time and space, becoming one with the energy flowing through him. Every cell of his being resonates with this energy, vibrating in unison with the powerful flow around him.
Then, suddenly, in a flash of clarity, he feels a transformation occurring within him. A feeling of lightness and power invades him, as if his physical limits were pushed and a new potential opened before him.
Slowly, he opens his eyes, short of breath, and realizes with wonder that he has succeeded. He broke through to the realm of qi condensation. A smile of satisfaction stretches his lips as he stands, feeling the new strength flowing through his veins.
After his breakthrough, he begins to visualize the surrounding qi and concentrate on his cultivation technique Primordial Solar Incandescence. Knowing that it is morning, Di Sheng heads to the terrace of his room.
Di Sheng begins by immersing himself in an environment bathed in sunlight. It positions itself to directly receive the sun's rays, allowing its body to absorb solar energy.
By concentrating intently, Di Sheng visualizes the sun as an infinite source of energy, radiating light and heat. He imagines this solar energy penetrating deep into his body, reaching every cell and fiber of his being.
By synchronizing his breathing with the natural cycles of the sun, Di Sheng guides the flow of his internal qi to merge with the solar energy. He imagines qi flowing through his body, mixing and transforming with solar energy to create perfect harmony between the inside and the outside.
As solar qi flows through his body, it purifies impurities and energetic blockages, strengthening Di Sheng's vitality and power. He feels a sensation of intense heat spreading through his body, a sign that the Primordial Solar Incandescence is producing its beneficial effects. The energy in his body is only increasing at a terrifying rate. Then after a few hours, Di Sheng ends the process and a mechanical voice calls out to him.
[Ding]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm.]
[In view of the host's breakthrough, the system notices that the host does not yet have a martial arts technique.]
[Ding! You gain a fist technique, The Sparkling Lotus Strike, and a movement technique, Light Wind Walk.]
"Integrate these techniques directly!"
Immediately after speaking, Di Sheng felt a new flow of information about these techniques in his mind. For the moment these techniques are more than sufficient for these first fights, after all they are earth level techniques.
He now had two techniques two ranks earth and a physical strength of 15,000 jins.
"Well, it's time to go take back what's rightfully mine."
