Juanxiu's eyes flickered with a combination of determination and apprehension. The thought of revealing such a secret made him feel uneasy, but he knew that he had no choice. His companions had to be informed of the truth.
"We'll be going on a secret realm known as the Tower of Primordial Era. It is not an ordinary place," Juanxiu continued, his voice low and serious. "It's a mysterious place with amazing opportunities. Inside, we might find something that can help us be strog and save Liu Peng's family."
Liu Peng looked at Juanxiu with a mix of concern and hesitation. "But what about my family? Shouldn't we focus on finding them first?"
Juanxiu nodded in understanding. "I know it's risky, but we can't just leave it all to chance. By entering the tower, we might find something that can aid us in our mission. And besides, we'll do everything we can once inside the tower to increase the probability of success of this mission." jaunxiu then continued "However, everything that you will encounter inside must be kept a secret."
Siyi and Chang Bao listened intently, their eyes shining with curiosity and excitement.
"We promise to keep everything safe," Siyi said earnestly. "We won't let anyone know about what we find in the tower."
Chang Bao nodded in agreement. "We'll do whatever it takes to help."
Juanxiu looked at them with a sense of gratitude. "Thank you. With your help, we might be able to succeed in our mission and save Liu Peng's family."
Juanxiu took out the cube, and Siyi's eyes widened as he recognized it as the cube left by Juanxiu's mother.
Juanxiu hit the cube on various sides using his qi to create sound. He hit it in a way that only he could, and after doing this countless times, he somehow understood the type of sound that would be produced by each specific portion of the cube. It created a cacophony of sound reminiscent to the sound of Gu-zheng played inside the tower.
As they entered the realm, they found themselves standing on a vast plain, but it was no ordinary plain. The air was thick with an immense amount of pure energy, and the surrounding landscape was filled with creatures that they had only ever seen in legends.
Liu Peng and Siyi's eyes widened in amazement as they stared at the creatures, unable to believe their eyes. "This is incredible," Siyi whispered in awe as she felt the dense energy seeping into her veins.
Juanxiu nodded, a smile playing on his lips. "It's just the beginning," he said. "There's so much more to see and discover in this realm."
Chang Bao stood quietly, taking everything in. "What is our objective in coming here?" he asked, breaking the momentary silence.
Juanxiu took a deep breath and looked at the three of them, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Our objective here is to become stronger," he said firmly. "And to do that, we will have to train hard and persevere no matter what."
Siyi's eyes sparkled with excitement at the prospect of becoming stronger. "I'm in," she said eagerly. Thinking that this is an opportunity bestowed by the heaven to avenge her father's death.
Liu Peng's jaw tightened as he remembered his family's perilous situation. "I'm with you," he said, determination written all over his face. "With strength, I can protect my family."
Chang Bao's expression was a little uncertain. "But I don't have any martial foundation," he said hesitantly.
Juanxiu smiled reassuringly at him. "Don't worry, I will help you," he said. "With hard work and perseverance, you can achieve anything you set your mind to."
Juanxiu then handed over the Heavenly Dragon Strike to Siyi, explaining the martial art's swift and agile moves that focused on precise movements to strike at the enemy's pressure points. Siyi's eyes widened as she listened intently, eager to learn and master the martial art.
Liu Peng was given the Sky Piercing Palm, a powerful martial art that used the inner energy of the wielder to create devastating attacks. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he studied the technique, imagining the damage it could inflict on his enemies.
Juanxiu also presented the Breath of the Thunderous Dragon breathing technique to the three of them, explaining how it could help them channel their energy and increase their strength. "This technique is not easy to master," he warned. "But with perseverance and hard work, you can do it."
The three of them nodded in agreement, determination etched on their faces. They knew that this was their chance to become stronger and protect those they care about.
Juanxiu's voice echoed in the vast plain, as he spoke about the rules of the Tower of Primordial Era. Liu Peng and Siyi listened with rapt attention, eager to know more about the place and what lay ahead for them.
"Remember, you cannot leave the realm until our thirty years are up," Juanxiu said firmly. "But, rest assured, time outside will only move at a fraction of that pace. It will only be a few hours out there, so you need to make the most of your time here."
Siyi and Liu Peng exchanged a determined look, ready to train hard and improve their skills. "We won't waste a moment," Siyi said, her voice filled with resolve. "We will make the most of this opportunity."
Juanxiu nodded in approval, pleased with their attitude. "Good. But keep in mind that while you are free to explore, you must not venture into the tower itself. That is off-limits."
Liu Peng and Siyi promised to follow the rules, eager to begin their training. Chang Bao, however, looked a bit apprehensive. "I don't have any martial foundation," he said, sounding unsure of himself. "What should I do?"
Juanxiu gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. I have a plan for you as well. You will begin by building your foundation through that breathing technique, and when the time is right, I will guide you towards a path of strength."
Satisfied with the answer, Chang Bao nodded and watched as Juanxiu entered the tower, leaving the three of them alone in the vast plain. Siyi and Liu Peng immediately started to explore, amazed by the pure energy and creatures they encountered.
As they walked, Juanxiu's words echoed in their minds, and they were determined to make the most of their time in the Tower of Primordial Era.
Juanxiu entered the tower, greeted by the otherworldly Xiannu Yindao, the being who guarded the tower's basic secrets. His eyes glinted with wisdom and power as he looked at him.
"Welcome back, Juanxiu," Xiannu said, his voice echoing in the vast chamber. "And who are those three you bring with you?"
Juanxiu introduced Siyi, Liu Peng, and Chang Bao to Xiannu. Xiannu was silent for a moment.
"Interesting," Xiannu said, his eyes lighting up with interest. "Siyi possesses a special heavenly constitution, known as the Mirror Body. It allows her to easily replicate the moves of anyone,"Juanxiu was surprised, this explains how she mastered the Hollylock Blade Technique so quickly.
Juanxiu realized that Siyi's potential was far greater than he had imagined. But Xiannu had more to reveal.
"And Chang Bao has a martial constitution known as the Bloodline of the Beast," Xiannu continued. "It allows him to assimilate his blood to any kind of beast and inherit their skills and abilities."
Juanxiu was stunned by this revelation, realizing the incredible potential that lay within Chang Bao. With these unique heavenly constitutions, both Siyi and Chang Bao had the potential to become immensely powerful.
"These individuals have the potential to rise to at least the Divine Class even if they become slack on their training," Xiannu said, looking at Juanxiu with a knowing smile.
Juanxiu nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. He would have to help these two individuals nurture their abilities and guide them towards their full potential, even if it meant facing countless challenges and dangers in the tower.
"Mirror Body? Bloodline of the Beast?" he repeated, his voice full of wonder. "I had no idea! What do you mean by 'inherit their skills and abilities?"
Xiannu smiled mysteriously. "It means that if you assimilate your blood to a dragon, for example, you will have the potential to use its powers and abilities, like the Roar of the Dragon or Dragon's Tongue. Of course, it takes time and practice to master them fully, but with dedication and hard work, you can become a formidable opponent."
"Ah such a shame, I have already given the blood of the Lightning Cicada to Siyi,"
"Don't worry, The Lightning Cicada is insignificant compared to what this boy could achieve. Amazing how treasures are being drawn into you,"
.....
Xiannu looked at Juanxiu with his wise and all-knowing gaze. "Now, let's get down to business. What is it that you seek to learn?" he asked.
"I wish to delve deeper into the mysteries of formation," Juanxiu replied, his eyes filled with determination.
Xiannu nodded, impressed by Juanxiu's desire to learn. "Very well, I shall guide you towards the knowledge you seek," he said, waving his hand in the air.
Suddenly, the surroundings changed, and Juanxiu found himself standing in a vast library filled with ancient tomes and scrolls. "This is just the basics?" he asked in awe.
Xiannu nodded, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Yes, young one. This is only the beginning," he said.
Juanxiu approached a particular book, the cover decorated with archaic symbols and intricate designs. The title read "The Tome of Celestial Formations," and Juanxiu knew that this is not by far considered basic in his realm.
He began to read the book, immersing himself in the theories and intricacies of formation. The book explained how to manipulate the spiritual energy of the environment to create various effects, from enhancing one's abilities to trapping enemies in illusions. His head started to spin as he tried to understand the words. he almost collapsed from the lack of mental energy.
He then proceed on reading about the book that tells about the three essential components of formation: the formation base, the formation method, and the formation control.
Juanxiu realized that the art of formation was not just about brute force or physical strength; it was a delicate balance of energy, knowledge, and precision. He marveled at the intricate designs and patterns of the formation, each one requiring careful attention to detail and complete mastery of the spiritual energy.
Xiannu then began his explanation to Juanxiu that the formation base was the foundation of all formations. It was the theory that formed the basis for manipulating spiritual energy and creating various effects.
"The formation base is like the grammar of a language," Xiannu said. "Just as grammar provides the structure and rules for a language, the formation base provides the rules and structure for formations."
Xiannu went on to explain that the formation base consisted of five elements: earth, water, fire, wind, and void. Each element had its own characteristics and properties, and they could be combined in various ways to create different effects.
"For example," Xiannu said, "you can combine earth and water to create a formation that enhances a place defese. Or you can combine fire and wind to create a formation that increases the person's speed and agility."
Juanxiu listened carefully, absorbing all the information. He could see how powerful formations could be if used correctly, and he was eager to learn more.
"Start with this book if you want to learn the basic of formation base," he added, pointing to a particular book. "It contains the fundamental theories of the formation base."
Juanxiu opened the book and began to read, diving deep into the ancient knowledge of formations. He read about the different elements and their properties, about the intricate patterns and movements required to create formations, and about the various effects that could be achieved.
Xiannu continued to guide Juanxiu through the intricacies of formations. "Now, regarding formation control," he said, his eyes glinting with excitement.
Juanxiu nodded, eager to learn more. "What is formation control?" he asked.
"Formation control is the ability to manipulate the spiritual energy within a formation to achieve a desired effect," Xiannu explained. "It requires a great deal of precision and concentration, as well as a deep understanding of the formation itself."
Xiannu then demonstrated formation control by creating a simple formation and manipulating the spiritual energy to create a small, localized tornado. Juanxiu watched in awe as the tornado spun around, seemingly defying gravity.
"To master formation control, you must practice constantly and develop your concentration and spiritual energy," Xiannu said. "It is a skill that takes years to master, but once you do, the possibilities are endless."
Juanxiu listened intently as Xiannu continued with his explanation. He told him that there were two main types of formations: static and dynamic.
"Static formations are those that remain in a fixed location and maintain a constant energy flow," Xiannu explained. "They are often used for defensive purposes or to create a barrier that traps enemies."
Juanxiu nodded, understanding the concept of static formations. It was the same as the one used by Jinhai and Master Feng
"And dynamic formations are those that move and change their energy flow over time," Xiannu continued. "They are more versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as enhancing one's abilities or creating illusions."
Juanxiu was fascinated by the concept of dynamic formations and asked Xiannu to explain further.
"To create a dynamic formation, you must first understand the flow of energy in the environment," Xiannu said. "Then, you must manipulate that flow to create the desired effect."
Xiannu continued to explain the intricate details of creating formations. Juanxiu realized that it would take a lot of practice and dedication to master this skill, but he was determined to do so.
Juanxiu nodded, realizing the depth of knowledge he would need to acquire to become a master of formations. But he was determined to learn all he could, for he knew that his journey would be a long and arduous one.
Juanxiu was exhausted but exhilarated. There was so much to learnabout formations, but he was eager to continue his studies.
"Thank you, Xiannu," he said, bowing deeply. "I am grateful for your guidance and your wisdom. I will study hard and master the art of formations."
Xiannu smiled, his eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "You have the potential to become a great formation master, Juanxiu. Remember, formations are not just about power, but control. Only by mastering both can you become truly formidable."
Juanxiu nodded, taking Xiannu's words to heart. He knew that he had a long road ahead of him, but he was ready to walk it.
