19 Becoming A Premier

And, just as it was for all t.i.tans, he was created with primordial innate techniques. One of the innate techniques was the mountain bodyweight technique which allowed the physical manifestation of a primordial mountain before transformation to be mighty in strength and immovable. It was a mountain thing.

Like every other primordial mountain, lord Primus too was created with primordial techniques. He was a physical mountain before his transformation which had been practicing the mountain bodyweight technique. Thus, it was of no surprise that the reversed trueworld bodyweight technique initiated by t.i.tan lord Primus, was an imitation of the t.i.tan lord innate technique.

Since he had been practicing the reversed technique for a time now, Jufeng's body had been undergoing true transformation. His bones were solidifying and his body getting stronger at an alarming rate from the practice and the turtle meat mixed with the water lilies he was consuming. Despite that, he didn't stop eating the turtle meat and the water lilies. In fact, once in his room, he ate them at every available moment.

What was the point of having plenty meat if not for eating? Eat the turtle and eat the lilies.

Inside his room out of prying eyes, he would eat and practice. At least, the room he resided in, was big enough for him to practice the reversed trueworld bodyweight technique.

Although, the reversed bodyweight technique was a very difficult and tiresome technique to practice, it came with great benefits which made the difficulty bearable.

He made use of every free opportuned time to practice. Especially, every morning that he had no lectures, he would clear the center of the room and practiced the reversed bodyweight technique along with the s.h.i.+fting heavens hand martial technique. Afterwards, he would go out to the training ground to practice the swift spine technique.

On his way to the training ground the next day, he decided to check the geniuses of the Last-Sword that were practicing in the Youxiu section of the training ground. The last time he was here, he had been amazed by the techniques and moves that he saw, the displays of true disciples.

He inched closer to have a wider view of the area. He saw that, on the training ground, some of the disciples formed a parallel lines on the two sides of two disciples who seemed to be having a showdown. One was a tall and heavily built boy and the other was a boy of average height and built. But the most striking aspect of the boy was his long white hair, it was like a flowing stream of snow. And by the second look of the situation, it seemed they were engaged in a mock combat.

Martial art, mock combat or not, it guaranteed optimum entertainment. Suddenly, the heavily built boy moved, too fast for his stature as he sent forward a thunderous fist that caused spatial warping as it moved towards the white haired boy. The white haired boy didn't move, but at the last second, he extended his palm that seemed to be humming slowly and successfully blocked the thunderous fist with the impact knocking both of them back several steps.

"I told you i could take your moves head-on, Li Qiang. Any more moves?"

"Don't be so sure, w.a.n.g Lei."

With that he moved like lightning, reaching the white haired boy before the blink of an eye. His hands blurred as he delivered hundreds of thundeous fists from all angles. But before the fists could connect, the white haired boy appeared to turn in a circle. It was like a slow circle movement but it was actually a false image, a mirage, the actual image was like a vortex of palms blocking the fists. Before Jufeng could bat an eyelid, the heavily built boy was already back to his original position.

"Impressive w.a.n.g Lei, your speed technique is truly impressive. In martial combat, speed can determine the outcome of battle."

"You flatters me Li Qiang. My speed wasn't greater than yours and your martial art technique is not inferior to mine either."

The combat had been too fast for Jufeng to follow, he could only see a streak of light when the heavily built boy moved, but for a second, during their combat, he caught a glimpse of afterimages. Their movements, one was many yet one, the other was one yet many and he remembered his mother's portal steps movement.

With vivid imagination, he tried his own swift spine technique but with a little difference, he adjusted his movement and tried the technique again. He tried five more times and had a great success on the fifth attempt. Heavens might, he had just mastered the first level of the swift spine technique, the swift steps and gained insight into the second level, spine steps.

He pumped a fist in the air.

"Yes."

The geniuses who were closer to where he was, had stopped training and were looking at him wondering what was going on with him. Realizing there were eyes on him, he quickly smiled and slowly moved towards the Zhans.h.i.+ section.

In the Zhans.h.i.+ section, he happily practiced the movement technique for a time before stopping. As he relax, he watched the Zhans.h.i.+ disciples trained and shook his head.

The difference in levels is simply too big but he would bide his time.

Soon, he left the training ground and walked towards his dormitory. On his way there, he changed his mind and headed towards the marketplace of the sect. He had never been there before but since using a pill that could drive him a whole level, he would check it out.

The marketplace was indeed a big place with a number of large stalls organized to sections according to their products. One section had large stalls of alchemy products, another had magical artifacts and like that, the rest were arranged.

Moving around the marketplace, from one section to another, he checked the available products until he came to the alchemy section. This section seemed the busiest with disciples coming and going. Cultivation was truly the epitome of mortal existence.

The first stall he entered was quite big and was divided into two parts. The front part was with row of shelves filled with lower grade pills and plants while the back was where the higher grade and above products were stored.

The alchemist was a middle aged man who was wearing a pristine white robe. He was busy attending to disciples who were looking for one form of product or another. Jufeng out of their way and started checking the shelves since their names were on the bottle stickers. He saw stickers with intriguing names, solemn star spirit pill, heartflame spirit pill, purple dream illusion and others like that.

The stall was a bit too busy for him therefore, he went to the next stall and met the same scenario. He kept trying the stalls until he came to one that was fairly quiet and entered. The stall owner was an old man of the golden core stage. The other disciple in the stall had left after buying the product he came for leaving only Haider in the stall with the stall owner.

"Greetings senior."

"Greetings young one, how can i help you?"

"Uhm senior, do you by any chance have a heavenly root spirit pill?"

"Hmm. The heavenly root spirit pill, the heavenly foundation pill. Well, it's not that difficult to get as long as you have your money afterall, its usefulness stops at the Zhuji stage."

"Senior, please forgive me for asking. Why did you say "afterall its usefulness stops at the Zhuji stage"?"

"Oh, ok. It looks like you are not truly aware. You see, the heavenly root spirit pill is only a perfect foundation pill good for any disciple less than the Zhuji stage, it no longer has any effect after that. So, it's not that scarce for people to buy though its expensive. Let me tell you, there are some spirit pill that could take your cultivation level directly to the golden core stage from the Zhuji stage, even from the Ningchi stage. You see?"

"What? A pill from Ningchi to Golden Core? Senior, can that really happen?"

"Yes, the white diamond spirit pill. A single pill could cost between twenty thousand to fifty thousand gold coins. These pills were concocted by the Hegemon alchemists, as you can see, they are very expensive but they do their jobs effectively."

"Senior, there must be something to it. It can't just be that good. Or, can it?"

"Well, it has one major flaw which is the foundation of the user. It will be shaky, not as solid as that of a normal cultivator and could make most to be stuck at the golden core stage. The pill is mainly good for people with less chances of cultivation, but make no mistake, it may have flaws but it gives them the immortality of hundreds of millions of years if they survived their tribulations."

"Oh, it is truly a formidable pill. But, i think the heavenly root spirit pill will be just fine for me, senior."

"Yes, the heavenly root pill. Although you are a Last-Sword, it will still cost you five thousand gold coins."

"That's fine senior. Senior, can you please take a look at this?" Haider produced a blue crystalline from his pocket.

The alchemist eyes went wide and wild as he stared at the blue crystalline with opened mouth.

"Is that crunchy spirit crystal? Do you know how much this can cost if it's pure grade? Well, i will need to check the level of the spirit energy condensation to determine how much it can cost. Do you mind?"

"Of course not, senior. I completely trust you." As he sent the crystal to the alchemist master.

The alchemist master took out a small transparent mirror, a small transparent bottle and a talisman. After setting them on the table, he put the crystal into the bottle and placed it on the talisman.

"This mirror is a scale of time, the transluscent scale, it tells how long an alchemist product or a plant has been existing. The bottle is to contain the potency and aura of the thing being tested from leaking or contamination. And, the talisman is time seal on the product to prevent time effect on the product."

A few seconds later, the crystal started to give off a brilliant radiance with the bottle slightly vibrating. Then, the translucent mirror started to glow with a faint changing lights before stopping on the rainbow light.

"A total grade spirit crystal?" He asked in absolute shock.

"How? Do you know this can make more powerful evil hearted ones to seek your death? How do you come by this? No, don't tell me, it's better for me not to even think about it talkless of knowing. You don't just sell this, you have to auction it anonymously."

"Senior, i think i will manage by. But, is there any chance i can exchange this for the heavenly root pill?"

"You really want to exchange it? Alright, though I don't know how much this can sell for but i guess we can do that. I only need to find a suitable auction event for it, i have to check with neighbouring cities to see which one will be hosting an auction soon."

Watching Haider with a mixture of fascination and bewilderment.

"Do you have any more crystals?"

"Yes senior, i do have five more. And, we will share the money equally if you can sell them. What do you think, senior?"

"Hmm, no problem. Let me handle it, i'll see what i can do. But, keep this quiet, okay? I will inform you when i have some information."

He gave Jufeng the heavenly root spirit pill and quickly transfered the crystal into his spatial sac. He had to be cautious since he didn't know who the boy's family were, he could even have an hegemon as an ancestor. He would try his best to sell the crystals, who knows what other items the boy may want to sell?

Leaving the marketplace, Haider went directly to his room and locked the door from the inside. Sitting down in the lotus position, he took out one blue crystalline and chewed it before swallowing it. Closing his eyes, he started to cycle the Chi energy by moving it from his dantian through the meridians and back to.

Soon after that, he removed the heavenly root spirit pill from his robe pocket and swallowed it. The pill melted upon entering his body and the energy from the pill flowed into his dantian. The moment it mixed with the Chi energy in his dantian, the explosive interaction made him collapsed and fainted.

When he finally regained consciousness, he noticed that his body was still radiating faint rainbow lights and that his body had undergone a ma.s.sive transformation.

His body was still radiating a faint rainbow lighthe strength and power of his body had increased and all his senses are sharper and keener than before.

The lower dantian which was the root of the spiritual tree had transformed into a large square palacium with four ma.s.sive rainbow corner pillars that extended to the middle dantian.

The most wonderful change was the transformation of the giant sphere of Chi energy into a ma.s.sive orb of liquid rainbow light. Liquid energy was the true form of condensed Chi energy not the solid energy and liquid light energy was the true begining of primordials.

His body felt weirdly strange, it was as if he was looking at himself through a stranger's eyes. The sensation, the feeling.

So this was the Zhuji stage. The stage where heavens defying cultivation truly started from. Powerful. It seemed he would be the first of the new disciples to undergo heavenly tribulation.

The next time he tried to gather spiritual energy would bring down heavenly tribulation.

His family had told him to prepare for heavenly tribulation once he reached the Zhuji stage. There would be three stages where a cultivator would experience heavenly tribulation.

The Zhuji stage, the embryonic defiance phase. The cultivator having ideas about defying the heavens.

The Jindan stage, low defiance phase. The cultivator would be defying the heavens by forcefully gathering spiritual energy from the heavens.

The Yuanying stage, half defiance phase. The forming of the nascent soul by the cultivator in an attempt to be a true immortal showing heavens defiance.

And, the Shenxian, total defiance phase. Where the cultivator would be attempting to finally escape tribulation by becoming a G.o.d.

But that wouldn't be the end of tibulations, there would be the cosmic tribulation for any cultivator on the way of becoming a divine.

Jufeng stood up, flexed his muscles and executed the s.h.i.+fting heavens hand technique. Without using Chi, the force of the hand technique was so powerful he had to stop the execution mid way.

Wondering how his Chi energy would be like, he released a bit of energy from his body, it was so powerful that the energy vibration was felt throughout the section.

Moments later, he felt a vibration on his body, he was trying to locate the source of the vibration when he felt the vibration once again. It looked as if it was coming from the spatial sac. Still trying to be sure, he felt the vibration the third time and he was sure it was coming from the spatial sac.

He cautiously opened his spatial sac and discovered that it was the paG.o.da causing the vibration. Then, he removed the paG.o.da from the sac and placed it on the floor in the middle of room. Immediately it touched the floor, the paG.o.da grew to the size of a small door.

The paG.o.da? Could it be the same door that senior was talking about? Maybe a door to the belly of a beast. He was having mixed thoughts but after much deliberation, he finally made up his mind to enter through the door.

"I'm impressed childling. How long has it been? And here you are."

"Senior Hypathos, you flatters me."

"That means you have advanced to the Zhuji level, you are now a premier cultivator."

"I just advanced, senior, not even up to ten minutes."

"You should have enjoyed your moment longer, anyways, do you want to take a look at any world in particular? The worlds are at your fingertips."

"Senior, now? I'm not sure senior, i've never been outside our continent before. I don't know what another world will be like."

"No harm in trying. You can even check a smaller world, what do you say?"

"Okay senior, i guess i can try. But how will i leave the place?"

"There will be a door like this one on the other side, when you want to come back you only need to enter the door and you will be back here. The door will be a portal for you."

"Senior, what if i can't find the door back?"

"Then make sure you know where the door is. Now, let's try the Charet Planet."

"Senior, maybe we should check the worlds carefully before- nooooo."

Before he could finish his words, he was sent out through the door to Charet planet.
