Qi Meng was lost for words.
He did not expect this thing to happen.
In front of him is his soul that just left his body.
An ordinary mortal may think that he had already died, but in fact his soul had broken thru to its initial form.
The Soul Form!
What shocks him the most is that his soul does not take the form of his current appearance.
His soul form's appearance takes the form of his previous self before entering rebirth.
His soul form looks like a young man at his early twenties. It appeared to be a bit translucent but one can see its facial features clearly. His soul form is wearing a platinum fabric armor which perfectly shows Qi Meng's fit body.
That is correct. Qi Meng had always look like this in his previous life. His physical appearance had stop aging at the age of twenty-four.
His long black smooth hair runs down over his back. He has a dimple on his left cheek which accentuated his charisma. He has a fair skin complexion and brown eyes. His eye brows are a bit rounded while the shape of his eyes resembled that of an almond. A cleft chin on a round face makes him look gorgeous like an idol. He stands 6 feet 2 inches tall.
Qi Meng pondered for a bit but still got no clue of how did it happen.
He had sensed that there is something that sprouted inside the center of his dantian which is surrounded by his dao palaces.
It looks like a blob in the shape of drop of water and is as small as his fist. It seems like a condensed soul. Qi Meng does not know what it is. It only appeared after his soul left his body.
He had assumed that it is the essence of his soul so he called it a soul essence.
Staring at himself gives Qi Meng a nostalgic feeling.
"Hi, what is your name?" Qi Meng tried to asked his soul form.
"Hello, my name is Qi Meng, what about yours?" His soul form replied with a poker face.
"My name is Qi Meng. I am you and you are me. You and I are one and the same." Qi Meng replied cheerfully.
His soul form nodded. His soul form is not able to think and only responded by instinct based from Qi Meng's previous memories and experiences.
It cannot act and think like a normal human does.
However, Qi Meng can control what it can say and what it is not allowed to say.
Qi Meng is filled with excitement. He commanded his soul form to fly and it immediately flew around his room.
It followed Qi Meng's orders at will. It is like an extension of his hand. He can utilize his soul to attack however it is not vulnerable. The damages to his soul form can be imagined if it were attacked by an expert a whole realm higher than his.
Of course, Qi Meng would not rely on his soul form to defend himself. He had many aces up his sleeve to kill experts below the immortal realm.
Qi Meng instructed his soul form to return to his body.
He meditated until 3AM to consolidate his soul form and then went to sleep.
He suspected that his soul form preparing to be detached from his body is the reason of his recent tiredness. After meditating, he felt rejuvenated.
As usual, Qi Yu woke up early and practiced his cultivation until breakfast. After breakfast, he went to the juniors' training camp.
The kids have already started their training at 7AM when Qi Yu arrived.
They are practicing battle techniques every other day and will cultivate for the other days.
Their cultivation and battle training have been smooth so far. It can be said that they are the future elites for the twin clans.
They are currently practicing the Twin Dragon Formation. They have already perfected Level 1 and is now painstakingly exhausting their qi to perfect Level 2.
"Again! Do it again! You must adjust your qi within 5 seconds in order for you to pass Level 2. You cannot give your opponents too much time to prepare for a counter attack!" Qi Yu sternly instructed the kids.
The juniors all knew the importance of being able to attack first. They gritted their teeth as they started all over again. They felt that they might be able to perfect it and pass Level 2 today.
As the days go by, they became more familiar with each other. They already treated each other as brothers and sisters. As such, they already knew most of the habits of their friends.
Boom!
Within 5 seconds, 2 dragons appeared in the sky but immediately fell down and disintegrated as they reached the ground.
Due to insufficient energy, the two dragons cannot sustain their forms. There is almost no qi left within their bodies.
Chu Yuexia hurriedly went over to them to feed them Level 1 top tier essence replenishment pills.
The Chu Clan has many of these type of pills and had arranged one of their elders to deliver the treasure chest containing the Level 1 pills to the Qi Clan to aid the juniors's cultivation a month ago. A thousand bottles of pills are kept in small treasure chest and each bottle contains 8 to 10 pills.
Chu Yuexia is not included in this exercise as this formation needs to have an equal number of people for each group. Of course she did not wasted her time just to watch over her friends practice the battle formation, instead she cultivate eagerly at one side. When she sensed that something went wrong, she immediately rushed over to her friends and took out a bottles of pills to feed one each for them.
After some time, the 4 juniors had recovered a bit of their energy and smiled at each other.
They succeeded.
"Thank you Yuexia!" All of them cupped their hands to the little princess and thanked her with excitement being seen in their glimmering eyes.
"You're all welcome." Chu Yuexia charmingly replied with a cute smile.
They all started to meditate for 2 hours to recover 50 percent of their qi.
They continued to try one more time, and this time they did it perfectly. They have mastered Level 2 of the Twin Dragon Formation.
The sect master and the elders can execute the same battle formation at Level 7 regardless of their numbers. Level 8 and 9 requires a higher cultivation realm in order to unleash it. Only experts at the ancestor and forefather levels can execute it.
In the afternoon, they practiced again and again until the last bit of their energy were depleted.
Chu Yuexia had to feed them again the essence replenishment pills.
After consuming the pills and having recovered some of their qi, they went back to their training camp to cook their dinner. They chat for a while after dinner and then went to bed early so they can rest and recover their strength for the next day of difficult training.
That night, inside the sect master's courtyard, the family of 3 are busy cultivating. Of course, Qi Yu and Qi Zi would not know that their little baby is able to cultivate at such an early age.
The next morning, the juniors continued on their arduous cultivation training as usual.
The days and nights passed quickly and Qi Meng's break thru to the late stage of the Dao Adept realm is drawing near.
Qi Meng had felt it, he is almost at the verge of breaking thru to next small realm.
Swooosh.. swoooosh.. swooosh.
At night, Qi Meng's 10 dao palaces flew out of his dantian.
It is noticeable that his third dao palace is almost 50 percent filled with qi. A while later, his third dao palace shined brightly and he is now at the late stage of the Dao Adept Realm. He broke through just like that.
He had reached this realm in just a year after his rebirth.
After meditating and adjusting his cultivation base, Qi Meng pondered for a while before going to sleep.
He let his soul form out and talked to it like a friend would do. Every questions he asked was answered by it. By doing this, Qi Meng could just casually ask and let his soul form find the answer for him.
What a clever way to recall your memories and experiences.
Qi Meng is thinking of a way to cultivate his soul form in a more efficient way. He is continuously inventing new ideas and trying it.
After half an hour, he pulled back his soul form into his body and then went to sleep.
The morning came so fast and nothing unusual happened.
Before going to the training area, Qi Yu went to the palace hall and summoned all the elders.
"Elders, I called you here just to check on the overall affairs of the clan. Is everything fine?" Qi Yu asked seriously.
As he was always with the juniors fully devoting his time guiding and training them the whole day and then cultivating at night, he have passed most of the clan's affairs administration to the prime elder with the help of the 4 elders.
The meeting ended quickly and nothing seems to be troubling the clan right now which they found a bit strange. They are expecting for the Zhao Clan and the Ji Clan to cause trouble for them. It is the same for Chu Clan, everything seems peaceful these past few months.
Since that day they clash with them during Chu Yuexia's birthday celebration, they have no news about these 2 allied clans. This made the sect master worry subconsciously.
