"Are you leaving already?" coyly asked Lin Xue as she puckered her lips and planted a sweet kiss on Qing Tian's cheek.
Qing Tian smiled and nodded.
Wrapping his arms around his mother's slim waist, Qing Tian pulled her in close and kissed her in the mouth.
"I'll be passing by Queen's shelter to pick her up. Your shelter is near hers, so when I get near, I'll be sure to tell you so that you can come with me," said Qing Tian as he slid his hand down his mother's waist and onto her plump behind.
Lin Xue pouted and rested her head on Qing Tian's shoulder, "I wish we could spend some more time together…"
With a longing look in his eyes, Qing Tian gave his mother one more kiss before saying, "I'm sure we'll get that time soon."
After Qing Tian left, Lin Xue stood in front of Qing Tian's room with a small smile on her face.
"My baby is growing older already, I wish he could stay by my side forever," muttered Lin Xue before shaking her head. "No… I have to let him spread his wings and leave the nest…"
Lin Xue was about to head back to her room when she suddenly felt hot.
Her face was flushed and she remembered the kiss Qing Tian had given her. Her slender fingers touched her sweet Cherry lips before the blush on her face turned darker.
She entered Qing Tian's room and removed all her clothes, standing completely naked within Qing Tian's room. Just as she was about to sit down in the bed and spread her legs, a piece of paper caught her eye.
She gasped and quickly picked up the paper, amazed by such beautiful and professional penmanship. The beautiful black ink has captivated her eyes.
If Qing Tian were here, he would be seeing Golden letters, beautiful and elegant letters which looked terrible in his eyes.
"I should take it and hang it on the fridge. My Tian'er never brought home some of his drawings or poems when he was in school."
Now that she had something of his, she couldn't help but want to see it every day.
Feeling the air get hot, Lin Xue left the paper on the desk before putting on her clothes and opening a window.
When she turned around to pick the paper, Lin Xue gasped in shock, finally noticing the changing words on the paper.
Moving across the paper to a single point to merge together, Lin Xue watched in astonishment as the words flew off the paper and into the air.
Just as Lin Xue felt astonished by such a mysterious occurrence, the words began to turn into small embers of fire before slowly fusing together to become a bright flame.
Thinking that it was the end of the show, Lin Xue was horrified when she saw a large amounts of flying insects enter through the opened window and flying straight to the fire.
The instant an insect touched the fire, they disappeared into wisps of smoke, drawing in more insects.
"What's happening??"
Lin Xue was completely shocked already, her face revealed her feelings of confusion. She didn't know what was happening at all.
At first she had thought that it was just a neat trick that would make a small fire whenever the paper was touched, but then all these insects appeared.
'I… have to ask Qing Tian when he returns,' thought Lin Xue as she left the room and locked the door. She left the paper, fire, and opened window alone.
She was too shocked and confused to know what to do. Lin Xue also had a feeling that throwing water on the fire won't solve anything.
When she approached the fire all she felt was a bit of warmth. She wasn't feeling hot nor was the fire burning anything.
Not knowing what to do, all Lin Xue could do was to leave Qing Tian's room alone until he returns.
…
Back at the Sanctuary, Qing Tian waited for both Qu Lili and Ji Yanran.
Standing still with the incomplete Zanpakuto in his hands, Qing Tian's eyes were closed and his eyebrows were knitted.
It had only been 800 hours (time in Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal) since he had held a sword. It wasn't a long time but the feeling had changed completely from before.
When Qing Tian checked his body, soul, and mind, he noticed that his mind was the one that had a qualitative change. His Wisdom, Insight, and Enlightenment had increased.
'The practical arts allowed my wisdom and insight to increase by a large margin, my chances to gain enlightenment increased in proportion to the wisdom and insight…' thought Qing Tian as he continued to keep his eyes closed and thinking about the flaws in his movements.
With the increase in his wisdom and insight, Qing Tian was able to perceive flaws that couldn't be seen by even a master. Even Qing Tian who had trained his sword skills to the peak continued to see flaws in all of his past movements.
Now that he was able to fix all his flaws, Qing Tian would only be getting even stronger.
His flaws in swordsmanship were numerous but they were all centered around a few key figures.
Sword Heart…
Sword Will…
Sword Heart was pretty simple to explain, it determined whether someone had the heart for the sword. If they have the heart for it, then it would appear and as a strengthening passive force for the sword.
It would help ignore the defense and go in for an attack. It strengthens the sword and it becomes even more sharper.
Sword Will is similar to how Qing Tian attempts to use his own personal Will to strengthen his attacks and body.
This Sword Will is closely linked to the sword and the techniques.
Once a technique is mastered to utmost perfection, the will of the technique would appear, something which Qing Tian could already do. However, the essence of the sword was nowhere within the Will that would manifest.
There are other minor states, but these three were the ones that could fix over 95% of flaws in Qing Tian's swordsmanship.
Qing Tian lifted the katana up in the air before slashing down. With just that one slash, Qing Tian felt like he had already eliminated a lot of flaws and became stronger as a result.
Just as Qing Tian was about to continue and practice a bit, Qu Lili appeared alone before him.
Opening his eyes, Qing Tian gazed at Qu Lili with an understanding smile.
"So you have to leave already," said Qing Tian as he looked at Qu Lili.
Qu Lili nodded as she curiously asked herself how Qing Tian knew without her having to say anything.
"Blackhawk Military Academy is requesting me and Yanran to head back," said Qu Lili. "Which is why Yanran couldn't make it here to tell you. Her parents sent her to school the instant they found out."
Nodding, Qing Tian sheathed the Zanpakuto and approached Qu Lili, "I understand. I hope we run into each other soon."
"Me too," said Qu Lili as she looked at Qing Tian with sad eyes.
"Before you leave, make sure to tell Ji Yanran to not evolve yet until we meet again. The same goes for you, there's still one more thing I have to do for you both," said Qing Tian with a mysterious smile.
Qu Lili nodded and was about to leave when her hand was suddenly held.
"I forgot one thing…"
Qing Tian pulled Qu Lili and planted his lips on her's, bidding her farewell with a single kiss.
The kiss ended a couple of seconds later and Qing Tian watched Qu Lili stumble away.
'That silly girl,' thought Qing Tian with a smile on his face.
Shaking his head, Qing Tian summoned his Ruby Panther and left the shelter. He picked up Silence on the way out and headed to Queen's Shelter, Green Edge Shelter.
With four days to arrive at Queen's shelter, Qing Tian had these four days to practice, inside his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, the practical arts.
And when he's outside in the real world, he would practice his swordsmanship and remove the flaws.
With his Eternal Firmament Arts, Qing Tian also removed the flaws of his other techniques as well.
Qing Tian had left the shelter in the middle of the night and it wasn't long before the sun came up and greeted the world with its presence.
Stopping the Ruby Panther, Qing Tian summoned Magica and the Super Sea Monkey before entering his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
Tailoring - Blacksmithing - Poetry - Singing - Sculpting - Studying and comprehending Dao
Qing Tian practiced and comprehended everything as he went over every subject. His mind cleared up as he made breakthrough after breakthrough, his strength in the Arts becoming stronger.
He was becoming more aware of every flaw, correcting the flaws and slowly perfecting the arts at a rapid pace and his comprehension speeding up.
By the time he was kicked out of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal for the day, Qing Tian was steps away from attaining the peak of the Arts.
…
Shua!
When Qing Tian appeared in the 'real' world, Qing Tian felt the energy of the world surrounding his body.
A few seconds passed and Qing Tian even felt something suddenly click within him.
'Was that…'
Qing Tian froze before a smile spread across his face.
Turning to the tree next to him, Qing Tian placed his hands behind his back and straightened his back.
He walked to the tree with confidence and slowly pulled out his hand before gently placing his hand on the tree and touching it with the tip of his index finger.
"Awaken…"
GONG!
With the word coming out of Qing Tian's mouth, the ground trembled slightly and the loud sound of a gong being hit resounded in the sky.
The wind was blowing harshly, scaring many creatures away.
Qing Tian, however, was seeing something different. He saw the energy of the world flowing to the point where his finger was at, making a violent wind.
The tree Qing Tian was touching was shaking violently, the green leaves swayed in the air, the branches were shaking strongly, and the wood began to creek.
Qing Tian stopped touching the tree after this phenomenon happened for a minute. The energy in the air ran dry and Qing Tian looked at the tree with a bit of expectation.
Creeeaa…
The tree moved, the body of the treeing bending as if it was performing a bow to Qing Tian, thanking Qing Tian for its granted life.
Despite feeling a bit disappointed by the outcome, Qing Tian smiled brightly and said, "You have been granted life. Live your life fully and grow strong."
The tree shook in response to Qing Tian's words, it's branches shaking as if denying freedom and wishing to serve under Qing Tian.
"If you really wish to serve me, grow strong. Do what you believe I will want," said Qing Tian with a small smile before walking away.
With that said, Qing Tian turned around and left, his back looking broad and majestic.
'Yes… Master…'
The tree slightly shook, acknowledging Qing Tian's words before remaining still. The world returning to its usual quiet ambient with the occasional chirps from birds, insect sounds, and growling animals.
…
Qing Tian felt happy, but was disappointed.
The Insights, Laws, and Dao were newborns, their Power was still weak and the world needed years for them to grow stronger. It had only been 5 years since they had appeared with the cultivators from other worlds.
Despite that, they were still strong and Qing Tian was able to make a tree become conscious and intelligent. Although he was aiming for the tree to become a human, or at best a dryad, but it remained a tree with heightened intelligence and potential.
'It's still better than no reaction at all,' said Qing Tian as he glanced ahead with a wide smile.
The world was changing and he was taking advantage of it. He had already become an existence that most people of the Alliance couldn't defeat.
The Insights, Laws, and Dao was now at his beck and call. Maniupulating them as if they were part of him was a piece of a cake.
However, despite that fact, he might not be able to contend against Demigods and those of the Great Geneverse yet.
The Insights, Laws, and Dao weren't strong enough yet.
