Martial Research Master

350 THE EXPERIMENT BEGINS

“You shouldn’t be demotivated just yet. You just lost a battle with a single enemy of yours. There are a lot of people you will come across in your lifetime and many of them will be on the opposite side as you. One loss doesn’t say much about your strength or potential. You need to understand that this loss is a stepping stone for a powerful cultivator in the future.” The black elder said.

“He is right. A loss is something that educates us about our shortcomings. I am sure you have understood your lacunae. Work forward to fill the gap and become stronger.”

“You don’t understand the feeling. He didn’t take me once, but twice. What is even more laughable is that his cultivation was lower than mine, yet I was the one who lost the match.”

“Do you know why we have such great enmity with Balck-fire?”

“Because he was the person who killed most of the elders from the allied forces including our church.”

“That is just a small portion which fuels our rage. The actual reason is the disparity within our talents. He is just half our age, yet what he had achieved completely undermined us. He went into the royal road during the same time as us. We fought for the Black fire and he massacred all his enemies. Me and white people are the only ones who managed to escape alive.”

“People think that the Black-fire is what makes him strong. They don’t understand that it is just a tool for him. His strength lies in his indomitable power to subdue his enemies and his cold-blooded nature. Do you think he had grown powerful due to talent alone? No, he worked for it.”

“Black-fire was the guy who started as an outer disciple doing chores and rose to become the grand elder of Pill Valley. His ruthlessness comes from the experience he had undergone and the teachings his failure provided him with. Did you know that he was on par with your father who had managed to step to the peak of Emperor level by that time?”

“He was the choice to become the next master yet he took the position of Grand-elder. The reason was that he wanted to be a part of the frontline battlefield. He wanted to work for his strength. You need to do the same.”

.....

“But you don’t understand the strength of Long Tao.” Li Xuanfa said. ” He fought with Yin Luo, then Huang, then me, and then once again with Huang. In the end, he fought with me once again, and yet he was the one who won the match. What is even more of a letdown is that he didn’t even wait to recover his breath or ingest a pill in the meantime.”

“That is on par with Black-fire.”

“I wasn’t done. Both of us managed to gain comprehension and went through a breakthrough in our arts. Huang underwent two breakthroughs simultaneously. Yet he still won the match. What is even mortifying is the fact that he didn’t even use his full strength. He wasn’t even gravely injured in the series of matches.”

“He managed to do that while being in the advanced Qi king realm.” The white elder was surprised to hear that. This time Li Xuanfa had hit a steel plate.

“Even if he is the son of heaven, true efforts could bring in huge results. You may have got your hands on some good treasure maps, but we two were preparing a huge gift for you too. if you can cultivate with it properly, you will be an intermediate Qi emperor by the time of Royal road. Are you interested?”

“I am.” Li Xuanfa’s mood underwent a huge change. He didn’t expect that the two elders were preparing a gift for him.

“That is the minimum expectation we have from you. If you are willing to put bets on your efforts, you might even be able to reach the advanced Qi Emperor realm. Are you willing to follow our instructions?”

“I am.” Li Xuanfa had made up his mind to surpass Long Tao.

“The first few months will be dedicated to your breakthrough to Qi Emperor. We have prepared some resources which will help you enhance your body type and hopefully help you step into the Black-Devil body realm. After you manage to break through, we have laid out an elaborate plan”

“The church has decided to come out of the grave. We will be actively leading expeditions and conquering enemies who managed to banish us in the past. You’ll be taking part in battles on the frontline. Battle experience is something that will help you break through your barriers and advance in the path of cultivation.”

“Emerald Amethyst Hall is the first enemy we wish to take down. You will be taking part in the battle. Maybe you will get a chance to fight the Huang guy. Prepare for your seclusion.” Li Xuanfa nodded in agreement. He was excited about the training regime.

Water-mist village-

Li Meng was sitting in the middle of the new house he had just bought from the merchant guild it was near the very border of the village which meant that a lot of people passed it daily but none of them paid any attention to it. It was the perfect location to serve as the base of the new force he was building.

He had managed to hire some workers who did the daily chores for him. He wanted to pace it slow and leave most of the work to Su Menqi herself. She was powerful enough to take care of herself and it was time to let her hold the position of leader once again. He aimed to take revenge for Su Menqi, but it would more satisfying if she took the revenge herself.

He was familiar with Su Menqi’s skill and this was the perfect place for her to set base in. To take control over the region, they would need to be a powerful Qi Emperor, but lI meng wasn’t looking forward to that happening. He was thinking about strategically improving his force with time.

There was still time for her to arrive here and great news arrived in the morning. The keeper had finally come out of his hibernation. The artifact had undergone a triple or quadruple promotion. Li Meng had to go in to verify his current condition.

“Have you been well since the last time I left you?” The Keeper asked.

“I did have a minor adventure in the meantime.”

“I see that you have managed to get hold of an understanding of world energy. I could even feel you practicing a very powerful art. Where did you get the world energy art?’ The keeper was even more shocked as he began to examine Li Meng’s body. The amount of world energy within him surprised the hell out of the Keeper.

Li meng decided to describe the whole adventure along with the encounter with the ship captain.

“A world ship’s captain talked with you and even gave you a world energy art. Can I see it?” The Keeper was skeptical. Li Meng handed the scripture to him and as the Keeper went through it, he was even more shocked.

“You have the World core tome. You came across someone from the Voidwalker clan and you didn’t even try to wake me up.”

You were the one who told me that you are going into hibernation and I wouldn’t be able to communicate with you. It is your fault.” The Keeper sighed and then gave the book back to Li Meng.

We need to chart out a plan for your cultivation in world energy. What you have here is the core energy art of the Voidwalker clan. They are one of the epitome clans when it comes to world energy. You are fortunate to even come across him. The value of this art is not something you could comprehend.”

“Let me put it this way. Even if you had ten Extrem Yin trees, they would still not be enough to pay for this energy art. You are the luckiest bastard I have come across. Anyway, we shall start the preparation for the experiment now.”

Li Meng nodded and went into the artifact.
