Chapter 13: THE QI CHILD REALM

In Long Manor, the atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser as the deadline for the competition was approaching. Only ten months remained until the tournament.

Due to the recent pressure from the clan and huge investments, the younger generations were improving at a reasonable speed. It was as if all the clan’s younger generation became very determined after the incident with Long Tao.

All of them continued to cultivate and improve their levels.

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

Long Duanren was already a Qi child 1st stage practitioner, and Long Zhengyi had already stepped into the realm of Qi child, given her extraordinary talent.

Also, to be noted was the fact that among the youngest members, Long Mengchen was the practitioner who was nearest to the Qi child realm.

The bait and greed of the position of Young Master of the clan were alluring to all the younger generations.

.....

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

In a courtyard of the manor, sat a young lady. Her silhouette was that of a lonely person, as she trained harder and harder without stopping. It was none other than the youngest of the clan member, Long Mengchen. She was an orphan of the clan who was found by Long Tao and accepted in the family when she was young.

She was closest to her big brother Long Tao and his parents. Her personality was that of extreme joyfulness and playfulness. But as she heard the news of Long Tao passing away, her character changed.

She had seen both her uncle and aunt crying day and night, every day since her brother went missing. Her personality became colder and colder.

She gave her all to training and was improving her strength. Whenever the thought of Long Tao dying came into her mind, she would give out a murderous aura all out.

Unknown to people, the aura given out by her was that of a Qi child 3rd realm.

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

“I insist little miss to calm down. I understand the feelings of young miss, but the current you are not powerful enough to take care of the Bai clan. The only thing you can do now is to train harder with full concentration, and then only you would have the strength to gain authority in the clan and be able to avenge that brat.”

No one could be seen in and around the room, but one understood the fact that the real background of Long Mengchen was not small.

As soon as she heard the voice, she controlled her aura and closed her eyes. She had to train harder and harder to become strong enough to avenge her brother.

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

Unknown to all of this, Long Tao was currently in a pavilion with the illusionary figure and the puppet standing in front of him.” Since you have accepted the inheritance and passed the test by just a small margin (bragging in front of Long Tao), you are at this moment regarded as the next inheritor of the Ancient crimson world. It is an independent world created by the ancients. You will be allowed to access all the facilities and functionality present in this dimension, and this will help you to forge the pathway into the future road of martial arts.”.

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

Long Tao looked at the figure and said,” doesn’t that mean I am your master from now onwards, and you have to follow my orders. ”

Hearing Long Tao’s words, both the figure and the puppet became silent and burst into loud laughter at the same time,” Our master, an insect-like you are not worthy of us even bat an eye. You want to be our master. Let’s hope you can become powerful enough to subdue us; We might have this talk then. Until that time comes, you are just a brat and will have to train.

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

The puppet looked at Long Tao with excitement and said,” although you qualified the test, before accessing any of the facilities present here, you first need step into the Qi child realm. Only then can you access any of the facilities available for you.”.

Before Long Tao even got to say anything and ask his doubts, the figure said:

” But before we tell you the way to step into the qi child realm, I first want to know, with what art did to practice your foundation forging.”.

Long Tao looked at the figure with some caution now, while deciding whether or not to speak about it.

“There is no need to be on your guard against us. Even though we are powerful than you, we won’t harm you. After all, you are technically still our master,” the puppet spoke.

Long Tao’s guard lowered a little bit as he looked towards the figures and spoke about his strange encounters and the three set of manuals present in his mind.

“Can you tell us the name of the three manuals?”

“The Hell Forger sutra, The 99 stances of Beast god and Omnipotent soul art”. as they heard the name of the three arts, there was shock on the faces of both the figures as they looked at each other.

After silently talking between them, the Keeper turned towards Long Tao and said,” It is a real good fortune of yours to be able to practice the Hell forger art and 99 stances of beast god. Although you are not yet eligible to know the origin of these arts, you need to know that each of the respective art is extraordinarily precious and heaven-defying.”

“As you practice further in the arts, you will understand how heaven-defying each of the art is. As regards to your 3rd art, we have never heard of it before, but from the name and your description of the training in it, I can say that it would at least be as heaven-defying as the other two.”.

Long Tao was shocked to hear the thoughts of the figure. “as of now, let’s first make you train to get into the Qi child realm.

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

The foundation forming realm is to make the body of a healthy organism to be able to sense Qi in the surrounding.

After one can sense Qi and complete his foundation forging, the next step is to start to store the Qi around you into your body. It is called the Qi child realm.

As you improve your capacity of Qi storage, slowly, your realm starts growing bit by bit. It signifies the improvement of stages in the Qi child realm.”

“What is the stage after the Qi child realm.”

“After the Qi child comes to the Qi master realm, here the martial artist can start liquifying his Qi And properly projecting it out. Then comes to the Qi general realm. The stages above that are not for you to know, given your strength. First, train and become stronger.”

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

Long Tao nodded his head and asked the process of how to start storing Qi. The figure instructed him to say that first, he needs to sit, concentrate, and feel the Qi around him.

Long Tao understood the concept and sat down, closing his eyes and feeling the Qi around. As he continued, he soon sensed the Qi around, and as instructed, he started absorbing the Qi into his body.

The scene outside changed. As in addition to the standard Qi of the atmosphere, a reddish-black Qi, and a golden Qi also started to originate and absorb into him.

Seeing the scene, the first impression of both the figures was that of absolute awe as they didn’t expect the origination of Hell’s Qi while Long Tao steps into the Qi child realm.

It showed that his body was already able to form a connection with the hell world and directly summon the Qi from there and practice it. But since they were in another world currently, the amount of origination was slow, in comparison if Long Tao was able to train in hell.

Both the figures knew that even if they helped Long Tao go to the hell world, he would instantly die there. Hence, he could only train here. But what shocked them more was the golden Qi. It was the Qi from the heaven world.

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

Also, the standard Qi was being devoured both by the body and mostly by the blood flowing within long Tao’s body.

The figure decided to inspect the interior of Long Tao’s body. He found multiple brandings of runes inside it.

He could understand the presence of the black and blood runes, but what the figure can’t guess was the origin of these runes.

He also saw three sets of bright light, but the prohibition on them was so strong that the instant his will came in touch of the light clusters, it was shattered and destroyed.

Only Long Tao could access these light clusters.

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

“Seems like the future inheritor of the ancient realm is a real mysterious character. His body has such heaven-defying secrets, each of which cloud creates massive bloodshed in all domains if exposed.

I can’t fathom some of the secrets, like the soul arts and the origination of the golden runes of heaven. It seems like we have to wait for him to grow strong and find out the source of secrets by himself”.

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

Soon three days passed, but Long Tao was still absorbing Qi. A normal Practioner, if given the environment of this realm, the density of Qi and the purity would reach their limit in hours.

Long Tao was still absorbing after three days. It didn’t even shock the two figures, because, given the crucial secrets in the body of the inheritor, this phenomenon was normal.

Finally, at the end of 5th day, Long Tao reached his limit and opened his eyes. He successfully set foot upon the Qi child realm.

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

” Congratulations on stepping into the martial road. But don’t be elated right now. The road ahead of you is quite long. And now that you are the inheritor of this realm, you are destined to be heaven-defying. Finally, you are now allowed to use the facilities available in the realm. I will slowly introduce you to various grounds, locations, and their use. Also, this realm can be used primarily as a storage treasure by you.”

The figure gave him a short introduction and then instructed Long Tao to first go into the main pavilion where he will formally assume the position of the inheritor.

Long Tao proceeded and stepped into the manor. The manor was like another grand world by itself. Not giving him time to see around, Long Tao was directly transferred to the main pavilion in the middle of the mansion.

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

In the main hall, there was nothing except a large hall and a massive throne in the middle. Long Tao proceeded towards the throne, but as he moved, pressure started applying on him.

It was a test by the throne. Incapable peoples were not even allowed to come near it. Long Tao clenched his teeth and proceeded.

Finally, after exerting massive efforts, he was able to reach near the throne.

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

“You are now the inheritor of the title of Crimson Lord, the last will of the ancients, the highest beings in all heavens.”

Long Tao first looked at the throne. Then he kneeled before it. It was a show of respect to all the figures who sat on the throne before him and to the throne itself.

“It seems like the character of the new lord is perfect. Even after seeing the throne in front of himself, he controlled his urges and showed his respect first.”

Long Tao then proceed towards the throne, finally sitting on it. As he sat, the scene in front of him changed again; he was now on a battlefield, where two figures were fighting. Google search f𝔯𝒆𝑒we𝚋𝓃૦ν𝙚Ɩ. c૦m

The battle destroyed everything around it. Suddenly a silhouette appeared aside one of the figures, and they started bullying the other character. After fighting for some time, as the character was slowly oppressed, he summoned a creature.

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

Shockingly this figure was the same as him. Both of them now fought together, and their strength was far more robust than the other two. Finally, both the similar-looking figure chanted sets of mantras.

One locked their two opponents and the other, attacked with incredible might, and annihilated them.

Long Tao was shocked, and soon realization dawned as to how insignificant his existence was.

The scene changed, and Long Tao was back at the throne room. Only two sets of new art were in his mind. “Crimson world scripture” and “Origin avatar art.”
