Worries
Translator: 549690339
Upon returning to his room, Tang Luo went straight into the training room and sat cross-legged, entering a state of introspection.
In the void of his Dantian, the gigantic main Star Core was like a King, entwining about ten thousand strands of Spiritual Energy. They were being dragged into long threads of spirit, which was extraordinarily beautiful.
The outer layer consisted of one transcending Mortal Realm small star and
nine Mortal Realm small stars.
Compared to its emptiness last year, the current Dantian’s void resembled a cosmic star map and was profoundly mysterious.
Tang Luo didn’t enter the introspective state just to observe his own Dantian,
but also to contemplate.
The so-called aura burst was the pressure generated by the violent movement
of the Spiritual Power within the Dantian.
The more Spiritual Power there is, the heavier the pressure.
That’s why people can judge their strength and weakness through their aura. Even if a Mortal Realm martial artists’ Dantian boils and churns, the ensuing aura is very weak.
However, as someone whose Dantian structure is different from others, Tang
Luo was a bit confused about his own Dantian layout.
Other martial artists who could mobilize 40 percent of the Spiritual Power within their Dantian at once would often boast about it. They would admire this child’s ability to control Spiritual Power as extremely strong and unfathomable for the future.
If it could reach 60 percent, it could be considered a martial art talent that only appeared once in a hundred years. But how would he, who could mobilize all the Spiritual Power within his Dantian at any time, be considered?
Even though it came at the expense of not being able to recover Spiritual
Power, there should be a rationale for it.
With Tang Luo’s increasing learning and thinking, his understanding of martial arts deepens, and the doubts that arise from solving problems also multiply.
Through Xu Sheng’s writings, he understood that the essence of martial arts was to absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth to strengthen oneself and complete the evolution of life. The most critical part of this was the impact of Spiritual Energy on the body and spirit.
As for martial arts secrets, they merely used a fixed program to enhance the power of Spiritual Power. It would only make you fight more effectively, but it would not facilitate evolution.
As the body absorbs more and more Spiritual Energy, the connection between man and Heaven and Earth would become more intimate, and the body would gradually spiritualize.
The benefits of a spiritualized body were not only about extending lifespan and strength. More importantly, it could resonate with Heaven and Earth. The most direct manifestation of this was that the higher the realm, the faster the energy recovery.
After the release of Spiritual Power, the Mortal Realm martial artists still needed to sit and meditate to recover, while those in the transcending Mortal Realm could recover their energy at any time, even during combat. The Fierce Realm was even faster.
As the body grows stronger and stronger, the spiritual strength would become more and more substantial, and at a certain stage, one could even see their own soul.
In other words, the purpose of martial arts was to unify Heaven and man, achieve natural law, and acquire immortality.
The immortality of the flesh and eternal spirit is the ultimate goal of martial arts.
But Tang Luo was different from them. The strength of his flesh was closely related to the amount of Spiritual Energy. Judging from the current situation, even if he eventually reached the realm of physical immortality, it would only be because the Spiritual Energy in his body had met the standard. If the Spiritual Energy were released, his flesh would revert back to the Human
Realm.
Then there was the state of Spiritual Energy. The look of Spiritual Power in the Dantian of most people was like a flowing cloud, freely drifting in the void of Dantian, coming and going without a trace.
When they burst into an aura, the Spiritual Energy in their Dantian’s void was like boiling water, churning and steaming.
However, Tang Luo’s Spiritual Power surge involved the stoppage of the Star Core rotation, the solidification of the stars in the void of Dantian, and the main Star Core absorbing all the Spiritual Power, retracting its edges. Still, such a state of unified essence and qi itself would burst out with a powerful aura. This is why he, with the aura of the initial stage of the transcending Mortal Realm, could meet the aura of the peak of the Mortal Realm and not lose out.
Although his aura was weak, it was extremely solid.
There were pros and cons to this phenomenon. The biggest disadvantage was- When he unleashed his aura to prepare for battle, this solid aura could easily reveal his realm to others.
If some people can release only 30 to 40 percent of their aura, Tang Luo’s aura burst was always too percent.
While this was not a bad thing when his realm was low, it would feel increasingly oppressive as time went by.
After all, not every battle is a fight to the death, and a full-blown aura undoubtedly carries a strong sense of provocation.
If one wanted to conceal one’s cultivation, the simplest way was to hold back most of the aura and only burst out a part of it. But because of the peculiarity of the Star Core, Tang Luo could not do so.
Therefore, he turned his gaze to those stars guarding the edge of the Star Core.
If they can absorb and transfer spiritual power, they should also be able to store it. What he wanted to know was whether the spiritual power stored in the starlets would also leak out with the momentum.
If the starlets really can lock in spiritual power, then dispersing the main Star Core’s spiritual power among the starlets might achieve a retreat effect, thereby concealing his true cultivation level. After all, given the current growth of his spiritual power, he could reach the Fierce Realm in three years.
For ordinary people, an eighteen-year-old Fierce Realm is merely a topic of post-meal conversation and has no relevance to them.
However, for those true ancient holy clans, an eighteen-year-old Fierce Realm warrior would pique their research interest.
And the subject of their research would be himself.
Such a group, with King Realm warriors as the highest combat power, was something that the present Tang Clan could not resist.
A person who does not worry about the future will surely have immediate worries.
If he could not find a way to conceal his breath, he must leave Xiling at the latest in three years, because here, too many eyes were focused on him, and he had nowhere to hide.
If he continued to stay in Xiling, one leak of his aura would bring a great calamity to his clan.
So his plan was, if he could not hide his cultivation, he would travel a hundred thousand miles away, change his name, and change his appearance so that others could not see his roots.
It wasn’t that he thought too badly of the world, but that he, who had read through the history of the continent, knew clearly how domineering those famous holy lands were.
In the internal view, the young man frowned slightly, controlled all the spiritual power in the void of his Dantian, and poured it into the number one Mortal-grade starlet.
Council Meeting
“After the autumn harvest, the branches jointly collected 170,000 tons of new grain.” Tang Ming reported the results of the new season with a guilty conscience.
But looking at the elders in the council, he knew that this achievement really couldn’t satisfy them, but he had tried his best.
“You’ve worked hard,” Tang Zhi said in an unhurried and calm manner.
“If there’s nothing else, this time…”
“Wait a moment, Patriarch.” Tang Cunfu, with both hands on the table, stood up, interrupting Tang Zhi’s announcement to conclude the council.
This also attracted the attention of everyone at the council table.
“Winter is upon us, and I don’t know what has become of the land in the North City that the patriarch once promised,” he asked.
Tang Zhi glanced at Tang Cunfu, then at the embarrassed Tang Ming and said indifferently, “You’re questioning.”
“Hmph.” Tang Cunfu sneered and said loudly, “There is no land at all. The purpose of your grain collection is not to strengthen our Tang Clan, but for your personal gain!”
His words infuriated the members of the Elder Council.
“Cunfu, if your words have no evidence, then I will punish you for your crime against the superior,” said the punitive elder, his voice devoid of any warmth and intimidatingly cold.
Tang Cunfu gave a cold smile. Choosing to bring this issue up today meant that he had sufficient evidence.
“Over the past half year, my branch has collected a total of 700,000 tons of new grain. What is this grain for?”
Tang Zhi asked with a smile on his face, “What do you think?”
This confident demeanor confused the crowd, leaving them silent.
Tang Cunfu leaned forward, his eyes rigidly fixed on Tang Zhi, and said unflinchingly, “This grain is not prepared for the people of Xiling.” “Then who is it for?” Tang Zhi posed with both palms on the table, asking faintly.
“The refugees! And also, a large number of wandering warriors!” Tang Cunfu’s words were emphatic, each word filled with resounding authority..
