Titan Lord Primus [4]

Ju Feng had continuously been training hard for the six months that followed, showing on his body which had gained more strength. The trueworld bodyweight technique was constantly using his own body nutriments to develop his body strength. The nutriments he had stored in his body from birth due to the rainbow spirit pill. The more the body strength, the more the power he would have.

Wouldn't he?

He had been focusing more on building his body strength, yet, he was still feeling like he was not doing anything.

Again, he increased his training. The more he trained his body, the more he also trained his martial art's hand combat technique, the shifting heavens—the only non-affiliated technique in his ancestral treasury.

For a while now, he had abandoned his training in sword technique, the skylight technique, since he had already learned the fundamentals of swordsmanship; the moves and the stances. Besides, he was still young and had ample time to continue with swordsmanship in the future. In the meantime, he would be developing his body strength and hand combat technique.

On one beautiful morning, he was practicing martial arts when titan lord Primus arrived at their place. He wasn't aware of his arrival until he saw him approaching the training area with the rest of the family. The titan lord? He was here? His heart raced rapidly as his brain processed different scenarios.

What would the titan lord say of his training? Wouldn't lord Primus say he was too weak?

Immediately, he increased the tempo of his training while keeping an eye on their approach. He was hoping the titan lord would see his hard display. He waited for them to get closer before stopping, and quickly bowed, raising his cupped hands.

"Greetings, titan lord sir. I didn't know you will be coming today. Forgive me for not welcoming you sir."

"En."

Lord Primus smiled with a slight shake of his head. And with a glance, he took in the state of the whole area.

"I was coming from a nearby place, and being on the same route, I decided to check on everybody here. Nothing there to forgive, young one. It's you who shouldn't mind me disrupting your training."

"Nothing for me to mind about, sir. It's a big honour having you here, sir."

Again, Ju Feng bowed low.

"Hm, alright then, if you say so. I saw your training and I have to say I'm really impressed with it. You are really training hard, young one, and your body strength is miles ahead of your age. This is truly remarkable. Hm, that technique you are using, would be the bodyweight technique. Am I right?"

"Yes, titan lord sir."

"Good. You see, Terra titans have natural innate abilities similar to the methods of your technique. Although it's the reverse of your techniques. Our bodies comes with natural massive weights, therefore, we gradually transform these massive weights into massive strength for our nascent souls avatars. The result is the same weight and strength, but with different appearance. As you can all see with me now, I'm no longer in the form of a mountain but in a human's. However, with the same strength."

Lord Primus knitted his brows together in thoughts for some seconds as he glanced at them.

"For you, it's a bit different. You are all human mortals on the path of immortality. Physically, you don't have huge sources of weight for your body to transform. But as a human, that's where your blood comes in. You have blood that contains nutrients. This you will transfer outside. If you have no nutrients in your blood, you transfer nothing outside. And this is different from the Chi in your dantian which is connected to your life force, your life essence. The Chi is for your soul to be able to reach eternity. Although you can use it to fortify your body strength, it's only when you need it. And the strength will revert back once you stop the Chi flow or you run out of it. This strength is temporary. So, for your strength to be permanent, you have to use the nutrients in your blood."

Looking thoughtfully at them, the titan lord raised his hands as he demonstrated.

"First, Let me show you the method the best way I can, and then, the rest will be on you."

The titan lord spent some minutes showing them how his ability works, and how they can reverse it to work for them. He watched them as they continued trying it out until they grasped the concept of the reverse method, making them expressed their deep appreciation in a joyful state. Lord Primus noted their gratitude and nodded his head before turning towards the pond, smiling.

"Fortunately for you, you have the pond."

He turned to look at their surprised faces while grinning widely.

"The pond?"

"What pond?"

"Lord Primus, please forgive us for not understanding. But how are we fortunate to have the pond?"

Zhang Li Qiang asked after recovering a little bit from the effect of the titan lord's words.

"Hm, I see. So you don't really know about the pond. Well, it won't be your fault. There's divination arrays on the pond, divine sense or spiritual sense can't see anything inside the pond. Unless you are a true god or celestial, it will just be like a plain pond. Let's check it out together then."

Primus turned and started walking towards the pond with the Zhangs family following him. Reaching the pond area, he whirled around to face them while gesturing towards the pond.

"The Orpham pond. Natural elixir, body and soul nutrition."

He paused, still enjoying the looks on their faces.

"However, the main treasures are at the bottom of the pond. The yellow-white transparent lilies and the white-striped armoured turtles. The yellow-white lilies have leaves, flowers and tubers that can all be eaten raw or cooked, any how you prefer. Mind the turtles though, they can be difficult, but nothing you can't handle. Despite being delicacies, the effect of a small portion on humans can be highly significant."

Despite the pond being deep, lord Primus reached into the pond with a phantom hand, and removed a stem of a yellow-white lily. He removed a flower, put in his mouth and started to chew. He looked at them with a smile and offered the remaining flowers to them to try.
