Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 163 Orcon Forest 2 Vii : Advancement, Blessed By The Heavens

All of this was just a foot into the threshold of a power he could neither make heads or tails of, but he could feel it, feel himself standing right at the threshold of such power, so close, get so far. It would take a lot more time, and a lot more strength for him to be able to finally achieve the height of his power, and even then he would only be one foot into this next and expansive world that he just perceived.

And so instead of just focusing on what he couldn't achieve yet, he used what he had gained to strengthen what he already has. His movement art saw ma.s.sive improvements, so much so that Alex felt it was time to move to the next stage and study the moves of another creature, and with his senses so wide and his perception unlike anything he had ever felt, Alex fell into a deep trance, studying the movements of golden viper.

But while he studied and mastered the movement of the reptile, restructured his body and bones to the sinews and flex of it's serpentine body, Alex was still advancing in cultivation. It was as if everything in his body had gone have wire and was rapidly attempting to suck in energy like a dry sponge. His spirit commander stage increased by another level, giving even Ébié and Xeron a shock, because the fact remains that he stronger his spirit cultivation was, the more of the power he could bring to bear, and the stronger they also became.

Within Alex's body, it was as if there were multiple big bangs currently taking shape, everything martial arts that he had learnt, most especially the sky Python techniques, and his Tai-Chi fist techniques all seemed to consolidate into each other, becoming something new, something better. At that moment Alex's mind seemed to have been split into a million different parts, and each part had a with to follow in the improvement of every single thing in Alex's body. Shaky foundations were restructured and reinforced, unnecessary movement in his martial arts was eliminated, giving birth to the combination and propagation of something new, something much more powerful.

*Booom*

Alex seamlessly slid into the eight level of the open Dantian realm, the energy in his body was so much that the Yin-Yang diagrams over his 108 meridians had begun to absorb the excess energy, and they were rapidly turning into inner pills of their own! This was unprecedented and it was something that had never happened before. It took just five seconds for the first meridian to form an inner pill, reinforce it and fill it to the brim with Qi, giving Alex Access to what would be considered three Dantian worth of energy. And it wasn't stopping there as more energy rushed into Alex's body and he was propelled to the ninth level of the open Dantian realm, right at the peak and seemingly one step away from the true essence realm.

His Dantian suddenly closed up, unwilling to take in any more energy lest Alex blows himself up like a balloon, and it was in that moment the second meridian lit up, and Yin-Yang diagram became and inner pill of it's own, and then there was a third and a fourth, all of them becoming more than they were in rapid succession until there were fifteen meridians lit up like a constellation within his body, each of them a veritable source of energy that gave Alex not just a single advantage, but seventeen Dantian worth of energy than anyone else within the mortal gate.

Sure the efficiency and power of his Qi might not match up to those at a higher realm, but when it comes to stamina and who could fight the longest, not even people at the first earth gate realm could match him. For all intents and purposes Alex had become an ultimate powerhouse, a one man army. Now all he needed were the techniques to utilize the sheer amount of energy at his disposal.

His Qi cultivation seemed to have stagnated as the energy stopped moving into his body, but was rather spinning around him, slowly forming shapes that at first seemed illusory, but over time began to clear up and become more vivid. Alex was in a powerful trance, and the images being shown were of all the martial arts he had learnt, they were slowly being forgotten, and then being recombined into something that was truly fitting for him.

When it came to martial arts, Alex had already himself too thin, the flash of energy in his body was not really helping as he would be using fire Qi techniques with his wind one, and unless he was using his masks, that was quite damaging for him.

So a martial arts series never seen or heard of before was slowly being created from the enlightenment of Alex, and this was what had brought forth the wrath of the heavens. The sky Python techniques fused with Tai-Chi fist and quickly fused with the four seasons of the Weeping world, and quickly joined up with Nezha's The imperial King's Wrath, and then finally the six kings of beast art of which Alex had only mastered the movements of the Shadow-Wind Dragon Eagle, and now the recently gained insights of the movement of the golden viper.

It was so many things to focus at one time, and so the universe was helping Alex narrow down his focus, all of his mastery and his seemingly Jack of all trades manner of learning was quickly funneled into a martial arts that was strictly tailored and personalized for Alex by the universe itself, and hence the Jealous heavens struck.

*Braakraaam!!!*

Alex felt it, even in the middle of his enlightenment, but he was incapable of stopping. More and more bolts of ours white Lightning flashed down from the sky with a fury unlike any other as a storm swept across the land. Alex's tough body was ripped apart as flesh and bone and dimes was exposed to the ravages of the element, yet he didn't stop, he couldn't stop. Wind encased with lighting smashed against his body, again and again, rocking his body the same way a boat would be rocked in the middle of an ocean beset by storms of the worst sort.

His rapidly improved body was already at the limit of what he could handle, and when it seemed as if he couldn't take any more, a final bolt of pure silvery white lightning smashed into his chest, straight into his heart, forcing Alex to spit out and inordinate amount of blood as something seemed to have been unlocked in his heart, and his cultivation advance to the next stage, standing right at the threshold of the true Essence realm, tribulation lightning finding purchase in his Dantian and meridians. Slowly becoming a part of his body as his heart felt lighter, his mind clearer, his Dantian drained but his meridians and inner pill filled with energy and life.

In his mind the moves of a martial art unlike any other was swiftly imprinted into his mind, it was incomplete, but that was because Alex himself was not yet at his best. But never the less he would be akin to a storm sweeping across the lands once he has mastered the first move. Alex felt happy, fulfilled, strong.

Power had become a necessity for his and the survival of the people he loved, but it seems in his case he would be paying a price for the power he gains. How else would be able to explain the now snow white hair, or the fact that his right arm was a few meters away from his still very b.l.o.o.d.y body. He had no answers to that, and so he let the darkness take him, the storms his advancement had called, still raging above him furiously.

And that was where he remained, battered and beset by the elements for three whole days as storms the likes of which has never been seen before washed over they Kingdom of Australia.

Life ended, deaths propagated, the land was flooded and the skies held death themselves. It was as if the heavens were angry, of maybe to those who could listen a little clearer, as if it was happy. Changes to the earth that has not been experienced or seen in thousands of years began to take shape, children born within the three days were a breed above their peers, the land was off vibrant. Poisons were stronger and so too was their antidotes, numerous treasures of heaven and Earth were exposed as the earth began to witness a surge in energy and cultivation even for those who have been stuck in a particular stage for a long time advanced.

It was a wonderful phenomenon and the world rejoiced. But there were those who couldn't help but feel a s.h.i.+ver and a chill of death crawl up their spine. The feeling of something being unleashed that should have remained bound was there, and chief amongst them was the emperor of the heaven's Empire. He knew this had something to do with Alex, after all....the tribulation lightning did not just go after Alex alone, it also came for him, and with a warning attached to it. The emperor was powerful enough to resist, but right there nestled in his hands was the very poison he had secretly administered to Alex, and the universe had slapped him in the face with it...…interesting.
