343 ABSORBING & UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD ENERGY

The threads of world energy could be seen all around the ship floating mid-air like a breeze. When Li Meng finally gained a novice understanding of the art and began practicing it, the world around him slowly began to change. At first, came the ability to sense the world’s energy. It began with being able to feel a different kind of energy within the environment.

The feeling was the same as when he experienced it while stepping into the Qi Child realm. It felt like the body came in contact with some kind of heterogeneous energy which it had never experienced before. Once he could sense it, Li Meng went on practicing the art until he felt a little bit of that energy flowing into his body.

The first experience with the body was painful and extremely discomforting. He felt like he was choking on energy. He immediately tried to force it out, but the art was only concentrating on how to breathe it in. So Li Meng’s body became incapacitated by the energy and his body fell on the floor.

The same thing happened with the other avatars and they similarly fell on the floor. It was only after a long time that the discomfort was slowly lessening as the world energy finally managed to properly interact with his body. Li Meng’s whole body was drenched with sweat. Just what was this. How could it be so terrifying that he almost died?

He breathed a mouthful of air and threw the scriptures back into the ring. The experience was a bit traumatic for him. He was about to give up on the cultivation of these laws when he remembered his conversation with the Keeper about his goals in life. He wanted to reign on top of the whole world. How could he do it if he couldn’t even pass through this barrier?

He picked up the scriptures and began to read through them. His understanding grew as he went through the contents and decided to try cultivating it one more time. To his surprise though, this time the energy didn’t hurt his body at all. It was as if meeting an old friend after a long time. The body began to devour the energy.

Li Meng was shocked at experiencing such radical change in the situation.

“How did this happen?” He decided to go through the details and finally arrived at an answer. The text mentioned the possibility of discomfort for someone who has never experienced or come in contact with world energy before. The first trial of absorption would result in the body being affected by the ingested world energy which would then make it capable of harnessing more of it.

Li Meng was relieved on hearing this. He decided to continue the cultivation and began to seriously practice the art. Around the time of a day passed and he had managed to absorb quite a bit of world energy which was slowly affecting his body. He could feel some minor changes occurring inside him and his body felt somewhat strange.

.....

It was an experience of being free, not bound by anything. Previously when he was trying to use his body, it felt more like he was bound by something, yet this experience was as if a sudden chain had been broken and his body was more under his control. He decided to continue his training since he had no one to clear his doubts with.

Days passed by and a month finally came to an end. Li Meng and the avatars had been sitting on the boat for days. Small movements of his rib could be seen as the breathing exercise was being practiced by him. He continued to absorb more and more world energy into his body. Around half a month later, due to the combining experience of the avatars, he could feel that he had gained a preliminary understanding of the art.

The stored world energy which he managed to obtain was quite huge and Li meng wanted to test its strength. He simply lifted his fist, concentrated the new energy, and attacked a nearby spot. The energy released was so powerful and devastating that LI meng was shocked. The area around the attack had been completely decimated.

The energy itself felt boundless. What’s more, is that Li Meng no longer felt bound by the world when used this energy. As he practiced more and more with it, his understanding began to grow and he understood that this was an energy that was more like a building block of the world.

Li Meng even tried to unleash all the energy at once, and the resultant attack tore through space. The object it hit vanished as if it didn’t exist. There weren’t even ashes remaining of it. Just what was this energy?

He began to experiment with the energy more and more by trying to infuse it into his art, and weapon attacks. The result was that no matter which scenario he used it in. the art became more fluid and controllable, their properties far more powerful than the previous versions, and most importantly of all, they didn’t feel like something driven by the world itself.

The limitations of hi sarts began to vanish one by one. He felt that world energy was like auxiliary support energy that enhances the core energy being utilized in any art. The problem was, how could it do what it did?

Finally, Li Meng concluded that the laws he had been using until now, even the basic Qi was somehow a mixture of world energy with different characteristics or to explain in a better way, the world energy was like a core component of the energy he had been using until now. He began to speculate on the theory and tried to design more experiments that could give some authenticity to the whole thing.

Yet, all of them were postponed to the time when the Keeper would exit hibernation. He continued to absorb more energy and utilized it in his training of attacks. Since he didn’t have a better art to refer to, he decided to opt for the most primitive procedure. Fill the vessel, drain it, and then refill it. ”

Although it began to give results to his training, it was slow. It wasn’t until the end of the second month that he felt his storage capacity of world energy had increased by a bit. Li Meng was about to reach the third month of his training and time was coming to an end.

He had to use the last three months of some personal experiments to design a proper pathway for his body cultivation. There was also a force to be established in this region which could be led by Su Menqi and serve as one of the bases of Li meng’s forces in the future.

He even thought about the situation in the Taiwan mountains and whether or not he should go and verify the current condition of the group he left in there. But the allure of world energy was too great to miss out on. Even the avatar in the Qi general level could feel the barrier to Chaos level weakening drastically. The level became clearer and clearer to Li Meng as time passed.

“Should I stay here for some more time?” Li Meng was trying to analyze the situation. If only there was a way through which he could understand the world’s energy faster.

It was at this time that he felt a figure approaching him. It was the captain of the boat itself. He lifted his palm in front of Li meng indicating him to pay the rent for traveling in the boat. Li meng had completely forgotten about it. He gave another three pieces to the captain, who took them and turned them around.

“wait” Li Meng shouted the next moment. He had a sudden idea which he wanted to execute. The captain turned around to look at Li Meng, and found him looking at him with glistening eyes.

You have been traveling the borders for such a long time and hence must have an idea about world energy right?” He wanted to know the experience of the captain and utilize it in his training. As someone senior to him and one constantly traveling through the border between worlds, he should have a great experience in world energy.
