Chapter 14 - Profound Asura Scripture

The years of war between humans and the Asura meant that there were many spies on both sides. Humans had managed to find out a lot of information about the Asuras such as their languages, cultural, traditions as well as outlook and war plans.

Red had purchased many digital books from the internet, and with his unlocking of the first mental lock, learning a new language quickly was very easy. This was one of the major benefits of mental cultivation, common knowledge was often easy to learn as a result and gaining new information quickly and processing it at an expert level became second nature. Red had heard of very few people awakening their five senses, but none who had fused those five senses to unlock the first mental lock. However, he knew that his circle of information was very limited and there would be bound to people on the path of mental cultivation who had unlocked the first mental lock.

As Buckley's pirate ship was nearing the Redmond planet, Red had already learnt the Asura language and was fluent in it. With that he had been able to sneak into the Asura internet using VPN and learn lot of common information from their worldview inside of human filtered information. This study had allowed him to understand bits of the scroll and especially identify the language on the mysterious Red scroll he had acquired from the Asura spy.

The language was an Asura language that was used in the original martial arts that had been converted into simplified versions that were for use today in their society. It was studied commonly as part of history lessons about ancient times in Asura life by hobbyists and Red managed to enlist for a few classes anonymously from where he began learning the language. While it was still a language, it was significantly harder, especially the written language, which thoroughly surprised Red.

The Asura ancient language not just depended on the symbols and spacing as well as grammar of those symbols to create meaning. Each word had to be transcribed with an "intent". What this intent was Red wasn't sure, since most modern Asura couldn't use this intent themselves. However, it seems that those who used to live in the time when this ancient language was used could employ this intent, which could be left inside their writings. The intent would transfer an emotion just by looking at the manner in which the words were written and this would change the meaning of the words. This was why it was extremely important to learn any ancient Asura language text from the original source since transcription would often cause a loss of intent. Nonetheless, the tutor of this class, a famous historian within the Asuras, explained how the intent could be understood, even if not replicated properly to understand the true meaning of the words.

Red absorbed this information like a black hole. He was extremely interested in this ancient history and wondered if the blue blooded hand was somehow related with these ancient Asuras who wrote this red scroll, after all, it too had been discovered in a remain in the Dwight Kingdom. Nonetheless, the more he studied this language the more he began to be bewildered by the scroll he had found.

The scroll was the first part of an ancient Asura martial art. The introduction of the art was extremely domineering. This was a cultivation art that had been created and used by an Asura who if what was written could be believed had reached an unbelievable level of power in the universe. It was also a very weird art, because it did not focus on a single cultivation path at all. It was a body and energy cultivation art. It had two paths which were both divergent yet often intertwined, one which cultivated a peerless body and one which created a domineering qi. The more Red learnt, the more he realized the value of this treasure. And if this was only the first part, that meant that the other marked ruins which were under watch by other spies could have held the other parts.

Yet he felt it was unfortunate that it was such a powerful cultivation art, yet it was meant for Asuras. He was a human and it was unlikely he could possibly practice it. At least that was what he imagined would be the case since humans and Asuras had very different physiques and biology. Yet, he was reluctant to just give up on this art without even trying, so he decided to at least try practicing and seeing if this Profound Asura Scripture might work on him, a human.

Red looked at the information and decided to absorb the heaven energy in the manner that was written, breathing in powerfully and holding it in. With each breath a powerful burst of heaven's energy entered his body. Then according to the Profound Asura Scripture, Red guided this energy towards the crown of his head. The Scripture depicted the existence of seven chakra points inside the body which had to be unlocked by the heaven's energy in the first stage.

The first step was to unlock the first Chakra point in the crown of the head, however, one couldn't just force through and open this chakra through the gushing heaven's energy within his system. One had to polish the chakra by using a complicated maneuver of the energy around the Chakra point. Right now, Red was absorbing huge chunks of the heaven's energy and polishing the first Chakra point. In a trance, Red continued in this state for three days, when suddenly, the Chakra point suddenly began glowing like a diamond before suddenly being unlocked.

Red awoke from his cultivation trance and was shocked. He could feel the first Chakra point constantly absorbing the energy of the heavens and with his mind's eye he observed where this energy went. He saw that the energy passed through his blood stream into each and every cell, where it would be absorbed. He felt his body slowly becoming tougher at a constant rate coinciding with the constant gush of heavens energy into his body through the first Chakra point. The Profound Asura Scripture worked on him! Seeing this Red had decided to pursue this cultivation method.

The Profound Asura Scripture was very mysterious, it was meant to be practiced by Asuras, yet nothing about the opening lines every limited the art to only the use of the Asuras, since humans too had Chakra points. As the Scripture said that to first cultivate domineering qi one had to first have a domineering body which would handle it. Thus the first step was to unlock the 7 major chakra points which fed the body and increased its toughness to an incredible degree.

By the time Red had thought he future plans through, he had arrived on planet Redmond. The pirate crew was now acting as a normal merchant company and Red, with his new identity established as an orphan from Redmond planet from an orphanage which had burned down in a fire years ago had been a crew on this merchant company and had just returned home to study. He was going to make Redmond his new home base.
