Dongxuan Sutra and Taichi had both come a long way ever since Sora had known of them.
They were extremely compatible with each other, both relating to the internal cultivation and being related to life.
Dongxuan Sutra cultivated Qi and filled the body of the practitioner with strong life-force and trained the mind in possibilities. It trained the mind to the point where one can sense destiny and predict karma.
The Dongxuan Sutra slowly gave the practitioner the ability to view everything as a sequence from the mere use of the mind being trained to such a large point. With the cells becoming smaller by a million times than it already was, one could simply attack the sequences to destroy them.
The Dongxuan Aura running at maximum allowed all the sequences to become tangible and allowed one to break the sequence with ease and scary precision.
Taichi was similar to Dongxuan Sutra in training the mind, although not as powerful as Dongxuan Sutra. Taichi was a martial art after all and Dongxuan Sutra was a Qi Gong with small involvement in martial arts as it only used footwork.
Their beliefs and ideology were also similar.
Chaos created Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang created the five elements, and the five elements led to a myriad of creations. Dongxuan Sutra followed the idea of possibilities, 1 led to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 8, and 8 to unlimited outcomes.
Both were so similar that fit each other very well.
This allowed Sora to easily put them together and even strengthen their bond. However, Sora was perplexed about one thing, why were both only focused on the internal? The body (external) also needed to be cultivated, not just the essence, spirit and mind (internal).
Which allowed Sora to come up with a way to add a Yang side to both, to truly encompass Sora's ideal of Yin-Yang.
With the Taichi Sutra created, Sora had taken a huge leap forward.
From one, to two, to four…
Sora went from having just the Dongxuan Sutra, to having added a Yang side to it and then the Taichi and it's Yang as well.
With just that, Sora had achieved an enlightenment and achieved the myriad stage by completing a truly powerful martial art and Qi Gong.
Nirvanic Taichi/Sutra
Now, he encompassed every style, technique, stance, moves, possibility, intent… It gave him great vitality, strengthened his body, his will, spirit, energy, blood, and allowed his mind to merge with nature. Every single part of Sora would be strengthened!
A path fit for a man who wishes to go down the path to supremacy!
Perfect for the man who wishes to be the Emperor of all!
And to be surrounded by women and family of course!
Sha!
"Ah!"
Which is why Sora was making full use of Nirvanic Taichi. As he fought and meditated more and more with Nirvanic Taichi, Sora uncovered many mysteries surrounding it and unlocked many understandings.
Like form, spirit, and intent!
Sora continued exchanging blows with the man he was fighting against. His eyes fierce and his fists were unrelenting as they fell on his opponent's body with heavy thuds.
A wide grin on his face after he uncovered an amazing secret from Nirvanic Taichi a day ago. As long as he mastered and/or understood a single set of martial arts, like say Wing Chun or Eight Extremes Fist, that mastery and understanding is shared between all martial arts.
It's like if he had a Martial Arts skill. As long as the level of the skill went up, it didn't matter what he practiced since the mastery and understanding was all received and distributed equally among all martial arts.
This even extended to Martial Techniques, Immortal Arts, and even Cultivation Techniques!
Sora had even recently received an enlightenment whilst understanding the essence of Nirvanic Taichi.
It was a rather dumb enlightenment in a way.
Every martial art was it's own Cultivation Technique, Martial Technique, and even Immortal Arts! It was all just about finding the right way to guide the Blood and Essence along the right path!
It was safe to say that every martial art was already a Body cultivation technique, there was just a lack of Essence (Qi) cultivation techniques due to never finding the right paths.
However, with that enlightenment of his, Sora had made hundreds of clones. He had each and every one of them take a martial art and find it's Essence (Qi) cultivation pathways. Even if he can't use Qi, Sora's clone could freely make use of the bountiful and rich Qi inside his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
The spiritual energy from the Yin-Yang Dragon had quickly sped up the process as it helped each clone. It showed the correct meridians the Qi should flow through and how the breathing and blood flow should be like.
'This saves me a lot of time! The mastery and understanding is even shared with the weapons!' thought Sora with a wide smile as he used the Vajra Subduing-Devil Fist.
The man before Sora was using Combat Sambo.
Combat Sambo is a Soviet martial art that uses a combination of punches, kicks, knees, elbows, throws, chokes, and locks.
However, despite how strong and deadly Combat Sambo usually is, the man couldn't get close to Sora no matter what he did. As soon as he was within strike distance, an attack would be launched with amazing swiftness.
'Damn, I got such a troublesome opponent this time,' thought the man before biting the gun and running to Sora. 'Might as well tire him whilst defending all the attacks! He leaves no opening, so this is the only way.'
The man's steps were heavy and quick as stomped his way over to Sora with a fierce look in his eyes. Sora squinted his eyes before taking a step forward, unsatisfied by the man's actions.
Mighty Vajra Palm!
Sora's hand quickly found itself right on the man's head, slamming him down hard enough to kill a hippo with ease. However, the man didn't die as his head slammed into the ground with a heavy 'thud!'.
Having dispersed most of the strength behind the palm through the man's body and into the ground, Sora looked at the man on the ground with a disappointed look. He shook his head and walked out the arena.
"Let's get out of here," said Sora as he put on his shirt.
Baki stood up and grabbed a cane that the underground arena had prepared for him. Since injuries like these happened a lot in the underground arena, the place was always ready to offer some items to help the fighters recuperate.
"That was incredible," said Saki as she looked at Sora with wide eyes.
Saki now understood why Sora was the boss of a gang now after seeing him fight against the other man who was very strong.
Sora and the rest walked slowly to Baki's house to escort him home to make sure his leg didn't break.
Arriving at Baki's house, Sora felt rather strange as he followed Baki inside with Saki and sat down to drink some juice Baki offered.
"Baki..." mumbled Sora, calling Baki.
"Hm?" Baki lifted his head and looked at Sora.
"Where's your mother? Seeing as how I am here already, I might as well begin helping her," said Sora as he placed his hands on the white wooden box.
"She's… follow me," Baki stood up and gestured to Sora to follow him.
Baki's mother, Emi Akezawa, was the person Baki wanted Sora to heal. Back when Baki was only thirteen, his mother had been killed by his father, Hanma Yuujiro. She was killed by the man they called Ogre and the strongest creature on earth.
He was the exact same person that was mentioned by Hayato as a person of the Legendary Master rank.
When Sora heard this, he couldn't help but gnash his teeth and wish for the death of the Ogre.
The only reason Emi Akezawa was alive today was because a mysterious old man had helped Baki's mother. The old man was an expert at acupuncture and easily helped Emi's heart to pump with enough vigor to keep her alive longer.
The old man said he was called Na Bongchim, one of 'The Six' from Korea. A man who was traveling around the world to see if he could further his martial arts.
He came across Baki and Emi by chance and decided to lend a helping hand because he was bored. He helped fix Emi's back but didn't completely heal her. So after he fixed most of her spine and kept her alive, Na Bongchim left.
Now, Emi was still alive but she was paralyzed from the waist down. She couldn't feel or move anything from the waist down. Sometimes she would also be struck with spontaneous spurts of pains on her back.
Baki had matured greatly once he realized that his mother was dying and it was all his fault for not being strong enough. He could only watch on helplessly as his mother's breath grew weak.
Cursing his weak self, Baki vowed to become strong enough to defeat Yuujiro, the man of his hate.
"She's here," said Baki as he slid the door to Emi's room open.
Inside the room, sitting upright on the bed is a gorgeous woman.
She looked out the window with a small smile as she looked at the moon that was high in the sky already. Her eyes revealed a calm and gentle look as she gazed at the moon.
With a beauty mark above the left side of her lip. She was rather skinny, but it didn't hide her beauty from Sora's eyes. She had long and curly hair that was brown and fit well with her beautiful looks.
"Thanks." Sora entered the room after thanking Baki for leading him to Emi's room. He looked at the nearby chair before bringing it over and sitting next to the bed of Emi.
He gazed at Emi patiently, not ruining the atmosphere as she looked up at the moon happily. A good amount of time passed before she finally turned to look at Sora with the same smile as before.
"Thank you for not interrupting," said Emi.
Emi had heard the door open and Baki telling someone that she was in the room. She didn't mind though, she just continued to look at the moon.
"I'm here to fix your problem," said Sora as he glanced at her legs.
Emi's gaze drifted over to her legs and revealed a calm look, "Aren't you a little too young?"
"I'm not wine," joked Sora, referring to how wine needs to age for it to taste better. "I have studied and practiced thoroughly, so you don't need to worry."
Emi giggled a bit before sighing and saying, "Then you can try your best. I've 3 years to reflect on myself and learn from all my mistakes. So I'm a lot more calmer and clear-minded compared to how I was back then."
Nodding, Sora pulled out the white wooden box and took out all the silver needles. Sora turned to the door and looked at Baki.
"I need you to get out and close the door," said Sora in a serious tone.
Baki looked at Sora for a few seconds with a look of hesitation in his eyes before leaving Sora and Emi alone together.
Turning back to look at Emi, Sora already found her removing her shirt. Nodding at her thinking ahead, Sora admired her full breasts that looked beautiful despirt her skinny appearance.
"Turn over and let me see your back," said Sora as he got ready to use his silver needles.
"Okay," said Emi, turning around with little difficulty.
Seeing her beautiful and slender back shown to him, Sora calmed his mind and started piercing Emi's flesh with his silver needles.
Using the silver needles, Sora had noticed that the best way to increase the effects of acupuncture, was to lay the silver needles into a formation like structure. After placing all the needed silver needles, Sora sped his breath up slightly before letting his Sei Ki flow into the silver needles.
"You will feel a soothing wave wash over you, so you can rest," said Sora before letting the Ki in the needles seep into Emi's body and let it fix the body of Emi from within. Whilst he used acupuncture, Sora began using Saintly Hands to help fix the bones even further and help repair any damages or scars from the inside.
His hands moved over Emi's back and massaged her nice and slowly.
"Mgh..." sighed Emi contentedly as she felt a soothing wave wash over her and Sora's hands massage her.
In thirty minutes, Sora had finally finished and removed the silver needles, "I will be coming here for the next 13 days. Your spin and a couple of other areas in your back were badly damaged, so I need some time to fix them up."
"That's fine~..." contentedly sighed Emi after feeling Sora's amazing hand skills on her back.
