Martial Research Master-Chapter 360

360 A GLIMPSE INTO THUNDER CHILD

“Have you reached the stage we have planned on?” The voice asked Thunder Child.

“When I first received the order from you that you want me to simultaneously train my body, I was pretty aghast about the halt it would present on my Qi training speed.” The thunder Child said.

“But you seem to have realized the truth of the matter right. There is a reason why those three were able to compete with you even after having only one Heavenly law within them. It was because of body cultivation.”

“How did the old man managed to get his hands on such a training method?”

“I have no idea. But we don’t need to worry too much. As far as I know, they are still within the acupoint opening realm, while you are already approaching the said realm.”

“But I will never be able to reach their position.” Thunder child was disappointed.

“It was something that guy managed to get his hands on within the Royal road. That is the reason why I am trying to help you reach the minimum realm required for that spot. Only when you manage to qualify that level, would you be able to get your hands on the scripture related to the next realms.”

“Don’t the old man has one of them?”

“He sure does. If I am not wrong, he should have the method that relates to the acupoint opening realm. He managed to acquire it after completing a mission with his partner at the time. From what I have heard, it was so important, that he even went as far as betraying his partner and killing him.”

.....

“He killed him just for scripture which records the training ways of the second realm of body tempering. If he managed to enter, that means he was a Qi Emperor back then and so was his partner. They killed each other for a scripture.”

“The reason is far complex than you assume. The main reason why such low-level scripture is valuable is that body cultivation, just like QI cultivation can only be practiced step by step. Why is it important? The reason is some of the records which we found within the academy’s library.”

“What is it?” The Thunder child was intrigued by the matter.

“It is a scripture which had the experience of an ancient saint inscribed on it. The saint was someone who belonged to the founding group of our academy. He died just before he could reach the next realm.”

“What did he say about this particular query of ours?”

“He remarked that body cultivation may be one of the reasons why he wasn’t able to reach the top. Even though he had managed to reach the very top of Qi usage, he hadn’t become a perfect cultivator since he neglected his own body which hosted the Qi. Hence the recorded that Body cultivation might be the way one could reach the cultivation of Martial God.”

“So it was worth killing a friend to gain the second stage scripture of body cultivation.”

“There are said to be much more to that place than the second scripture. The tomb from where the scripture came from belonging to an ancient saint. He was a body cultivator who managed to reach that level based on body cultivation alone. There must be the full scripture within there. One of the major objectives is to get your hands on that scriptures.”

“Isn’t the main objective of the royal road to help cultivators gain chances to become Qi Monarchs?”

“What is the main component a Qi Emperor requires to become a Qi Monarch. If you understand that part, you will be able to deduce why that is the main attraction.”

“The Qi King realm consists of establishing a law base. The emperor realm which succeeds it is based on the grounds of law body which a cultivator needs to form. What does a Qi Monarch symbolize then?” Thunder-child began to ponder on the fact

“A Qi Monarch signifies someone who has managed to cultivate a law projection outside the body itself. The projection is something that will help you control and manipulate the surrounding. Monarchs call it a Domain. If you want to become a Qi Monarch, you need to form your law domain.”

“So the Royal road presents one with the opportunities to comprehend Domains.”

“Exactly. That is why it is called the Royal road. It’s a path only a Qi Emperor could walk on, and it presents the opportunity to comprehend domains. There are still two years before that event takes place, You need to prepare well. I am trying my very best to get my hands on the next set of cultivation scripts in body cultivation.”

“Should I contact my family?” Thunder Child asked.

“I don’t know whether your father would allow the usage of family resources for personal benefit. You know his personality. When he gave you this quest, he wouldn’t care even if you die. I would like for you to try, but don’t hold any hopes. This might even lessen his expectation of you.”

“Why do you care?” Thunder Child asked.

“I made a promise to your mother. She protected my life, hence I will repay the debt by training you t every best I can. Your brothers don’t have any similar kind of privileges. I also have to protect you and your honor. She wants you to rule the family in the future.”

“My mother is quite the ambitious one. Sometimes I fear she might revolt and siege the power from my father.”

“She had suffered a lot in her life, and couldn’t take care of either of her children. She is so protective of you because of what happened with your sister all those years ago.”

“Didn’t she return to the clan with her so-called foster parents?” Thunder-Child sounded jealous when he remarked about his sister.

“She did return, but she stands on your father’s side. Given her extraordinary talents and the one who is guiding her, I feel pity for you. That is the reason why your mother is so protective of you. She doesn’t want to lose another one of her children to your father. You need to become strong to help her.”

“I guess I need to train more in that case.”
