Damien was lead into the palace by the sect master who walked with his hands behind his back and a calm manner that would do any king fu master justice. Since Damien had already unlocked his Dantian he was going to be taught by the sect master himself. He lead Damien to a large room with large stone walls that were grey and black glass look. Damien stared at the wall that captivated Damien.
Noticing Damien admiring the walls the sect master spoke. "Immortal glass. It is said to only at to be manipulated by an peak stage immortal blacksmith."
"The world of cultivation is vast and will and you will learn about it more as we train. The normal step I would take is through cultivation methods but their is not method for your bloodline, that exist. I have never heard of such a thing. Now I will teach you all of the martial skills that I know."
Before Damien could respond, he was instantly punched, no he was hit by a train. His body blurred and his body smashed into the ground and bounded several times before stopping. That Hurt. He was a gods damned god! Isn't he supposed to be as dense as a planet or something? If that's the case the how the hell was he so royally thrashed just now? Nothing was broken or bruised as Damien stood up. He quickly realized his world of pain was just beginning.
The sect master rushed Damien and pounded him with a barrage of punches. Then kicks over and over and every way that Damien could think of. After hours of beats Damien swollen and battered body was in the ground motionless. Even though his body would instantly begin to heal, it's useless against sword like punches and flame kicks that burns long after the kick landed. The thing was even with Damien enhanced senses he couldn't keep up with the master.
Yes, he was not longer the sect master. Hes THE master and Damien was his bitch. His smug face infuriated Damien. Or maybe its because this was the first guy that seriously kicked Damien's ass since arriving on this planet. He had been the strongest mage since arriving on this planet and that went to Damien head. In the martial arts world he was a weakling. He could not stop thinking about it and finally Damien's frustration boiled over.
Damien let his body heal and unleashed all his power and rushed smug cultivator. The humble old was gone and replace by this sadistic bastard. When Damien got close, he summoned a blade and Damien saw three flashes of metal. One second Damien was throwing a godly powered punch with all his power in his fist. The old man stepped to the side as Damien's fist fully extended. The power exploded off Damien's fist wildly in every directions creating a massive impact that blew Damien off of his feet. Damien was blown back off of his feet and impacted the wall at light speed. Damien felt broke and like a idiot for getting hurt by his own attack. He wondered what happened. When a sword pierced Damien chest and Damien screamed.
"Pay attention. I said your missing a few things. Yet you were so lost in thought, what kind of master would I be if I didn't provide guidance to a pupil."
That's when constant pain assaulted Damien's limbs. The sword in his chest must have a powerful paralyzing and lightening damage effect. Damien learned this by the massive waves of pain that assaulted his body. The old man removed his sword and spoke.
"While you are retrieving your limbs think on the battle instead of wasting thoughts. Battles are decided in seconds or less. Any story thoughts will have your head missing from your shoulders. When you retrieve your limbs then you can reattach them and we will continue. That is your penance for losing so miserably."
Damien had no words or actions. Only anger. Damien wanted to pound him to bit with his bare hands. Yet, that was currently proving to be impossible. Damien dragged his body along the ground with his one good arm. After untold number of hours, Damien finally collected his limbs and reattached them one by one. When Damien finally stood up. A sword was saddened embedded into the ground in front of Damien. Now for the sword art. The moment Damien's hand touched the blade's hilt he was bombarded with sword slashes, feints, and various stabs that also incorporated punches in kicks in between swords slashes. It took everything in Damien to keep up, yet he was still unable to do so in the end and became a human porcupine as he was filled with various blades.
You will stop to cultivate and absorb this cultivation manual. He tossed Damien a couple of manuals that read '7 moons solar technique' and the 'Ancient Heavens Sword God' art. You will read and absorb the knowledge in these manuals. Then the master disappeared and Damien could feel no traces of him. Damien touched both manuals and absorbed their contents. The Ancient Heavens Sword God art was a power sword art that grew with its user. The only limit to the sword art was the wielder. The cultivation techniques had to be done under the starts. It is hard to cultivate because it can b only done at night under the starts. Damien didn't have this issues. He could simply teleport outside of the planet and cultivate there.
After Damien reviewed the power level of the sect master, Damien saw that the sect master physical body and mental strength was stronger than Damien currently. Damien far surpassed him in spirit power though. Damien was fighting at his base power before he unlocked his full potential. That way he can grow his base strength and drastically increase his overall strength. So Damien picked up the swords and began going through the forms. Damien's body had already memorized all of the sword strikes in the manual. Damien had seen a many of the moves from the sect master. Yet even then some were still not included in their previous bout.
Damien as trained he projected a construct of the master using all of the martial techniques that he displayed during the thrashing he was giving him. Damien began to take defensive a measures against the incoming punches and kicks before switching to the sword. Once he had solid foundation of defense he then worked on his offenses. As Damien trained his feet became more refined, his stances were become more complete. He corrected his shoulders and breathing and no longer wasted any movement. He was soon sending ripples of air from his blade. which soon became intent. As he trained he began to absorb spirit energy or his chi, as the master called it, into his pores as he trained. Seems he found another way to cultivate. Every breath he took had chi in it. Soon Damien's godly power took over and the chi became visible in the air due to the amount Damien was absorbing.
Hours later the master returned and froze at the scene. His pupil was absorbing chi during every breath. His every sword swing was to perfection. He even manifested his sword intent in a few short hours which would take a normal cultivator years. This must be due to his bloodline. He gains strength as he fights and train. His body meridians expands to their maximum while he battles. He was witnessing heavenly talent. The sect master would no longer hold back any of his skills. The sect master stepped up to Damien with his sword ready and his usual friendly smirk was gone.
"Ready yourself!"
This time when the sect master attacked Damien blocked it but his body was still hit by the chi. The Sect master unleashed all of his blade techniques. The 10,000 blade slash, elemental blade techniques that created a frozen tundra or wind blades that sliced apart any obstacles as well as increased the blades penetration and blades speed. Movement techniques that incorporated 'thunderclap flash step' movements and space teleportation techniques like 'blur' to make ones self almost impossible to hit without predicting the next place the user would appear.
Every new technique Damien was devastated by. His body was ravaged by chi attacks that incorporated star light, lightening, gravity, affecting atmospheric pressure, molten rock techniques that burns the blood and hardens he veins when incorporated with a subzero technique. The amount of strange techniques didn't cease. Yet, each one Damien remembered instantly. He was even learning ways to improve the techniques even further.
Damien combat prowess was increasing every hour. After a few trys Damien always mastered each technique. For months Damien will remained in constant battle against the sect master to improve his combat prowess. Every technique that Damien mastered he used his grey core to make skill books for himself. He found that he could make 500 skill books before being forced to stop for a few minutes and begin again. The sect master kept increasing his strength further and further until Damien had to constantly battle at full power. He was constantly bombarded by mental techniques and telekinesis type attacks. The soul techniques were especially troublesome. They were manifestations of ones soul strength.
During this time, he had learned much more about the cultivation world. About the different types of spirit beasts and that had beast core also that improved chi glow and Dantian size. The alchemy world in the cultivation realm was also similar to a mage alchemist. The herbs strengthens techniques and skills and well as have powerful healing abilities. Damien noticed poisons are used much more in cultivation. That was definitely something to watch out for. Spirit stones are used to absorb chi directly from them and are a primary resource for a cultivator when attempting a breakthrough. The sect had a limited number of them but Damien had the MAC and could replicate them. He only had access to low and mid grad stones. The sect master told Damien that they only had the resources to break through into the immortal realm. That he himself was the only immortal in the sect and that he was limited to what was in planet Damacus.
Damien wanted to figure a way to improve his immortal strength level. "Status"
