Chapter 9 - Light as a Leaf Technique

Wang Wei reappeared again in front of his father who was amidst a game of go with one of his generals, but as soon as he saw his son appear before him, he smiled and sent away the general quickly as he started speaking to Wang Wei whom he hasn't seen in months.

"I believe everything went well?", Wang Qian spoke gently, "Yes everything went exactly as I believe it would father. " replied Wang Wei with a smile on his face as he began recollecting what he experienced to his father, while his father went ahead and helped his son analyze all of his battles and thoroughly digest all of his battle experience.

Wang Qian also agreed with Wang Wei in his deduction in needing a movement technique and once again advised him to train in one before going to the Inheritance realm in 2 years.

Time passed quickly and Wang Wei already spent a few hours talking to his father, they then said goodbye and he went back to the demonic beast enclosure to find another mount, once again departing towards the Dao Scripture Pagoda to find a movement technique.

He was once again awestruck seeing the Dao Scripture Pagoda and after passing the two gigantic statue guardians, he immediately started searching for a movement technique that was made for physical cultivators.

After searching for a while he landed on the "Light as a Leaf" technique, and the way you cultivate this technique is extremely unique.

That technique was rumored to have been made by a famous talisman maker who even though he couldn't cultivate was extremely proficient in talisman crafting and he always wanted to experience the ability to fly in the sky even though he didn't have a spiritual root.

So he incorporated all of his knowledge of talismans and runes into a technique made for physical cultivators, and thus this technique was created. Even though he wasn't completely successful in making physical cultivators be able to fly it was extremely close to it.

In order to be able to cultivate this technique first, you have to comprehend the rune structure described in the book and memorize it completely.

The rune's function is to take the Qi from the surrounding area and then utilize it to guide the surrounding air to make the practitioner lighter.

Then the second step is to learn to completely control your muscle fibers, and then finally the third step is to grasp the way to arrange your muscle fibers to match the rune structure, therefore, gaining the ability to be as light as a leaf.

After reading the whole technique he realized that this is the exact thing he needed in order to bridge the distance between him and the Qi cultivators who are able to use Qi techniques.

So he wasted no time in leaving the Dao Scripture Pagoda and returning back to the palace to train.

Time Skip 2 Years

A young man with black hair dressed in a Taoist robe is floating above the tree line occasionally landing on the ground before taking off once again. He looked like an ethereal Immortal that graced the mortal world with his presence.

This is Wang Wei who is just returning back to the palace after spending months in the forest honing and integrating all of his techniques together in perfect harmony.

While doing so, he fought against thousands of beasts, but he abstained against killing any of them because according to Buddha's teachings every living thing had a soul, and killing any creature without reason or for selfish reasons will attract negative karma that would halt anyone from achieving enlightenment.

He only took a year before he mastered the "Light as a Leaf" technique to completion, now even with a little bit of strength exertion, he can cross hundreds of meters in a second.

And now after all of that time and practice, it was time to report to his father and meet his escort team that will protect him in the Inheritance realm and to finally depart to the Void Ship of the Wang family.

The Void Ship is a marvel, it is a Heaven rank artifact constructed by a genius Spiritual Blacksmith called Mo Yu as a gift to the Wang family because they helped save his life in the past and allowed him to join the family as a servant.

It is able to bring even mortals to cross the Void outside the worlds and its speed is even comparable to Immortal level cultivators, which was extremely impressive because to be able to even leave the world and enter the Void a cultivator must be at the Deification realm.

Its only downside is that it has no offensive capabilities, so an Immortal cultivator has to be present at all times in order to protect the artifact from the fierce void beasts.

Void beasts are creatures that were born in the void between the worlds and their primary food sources are lower realms which means that each and every one of them is at least at the Deification realm and even some could be at the Immortal realm. Those creatures are calamities to even higher realms but thankfully they are extremely rare.

With the movement technique that he mastered he arrived below the Wang family island extremely quickly except this time he didn't need anyone to help him get to it, he put all of his strength into his legs, jumped up, and activated his movement technique.

He moved like the wind and before he knew it he was a kilometer above the floating island, he admired his surroundings as he gently floated down towards it as if an Immortal was descending from the heavens.

He reminisced about his previous life and remembered the scenes that he saw, all of the mortals who were starving below and couldn't even defend themselves against the demonic beasts.

His eyes filled with compassion and he promised himself that whenever he got powerful enough he would establish a system where all mortals were protected and none of them had to worry about how to feed themselves.
