Han Xiao straightened his clothes, now he changed his t-shirt with a red noble robe with a sword motif, actually this robe was very troublesome for him but because of the meeting held this afternoon he had to wear it. Emperor Yang Qian rebuked him for wearing a T-shirt during the meeting this afternoon.
"Humph it's really troublesome to wear this robe," Han Xiao grumbled.
"You can take it off after this meeting." Bi Jiao helped to fix Han Xiao's Cloak.
After the robe was right Han Xiao looked at Bi Jiao and then held her smooth hand, Bi Jiao was shocked by this that made her neck turn red.
"Hey I won't do anything just want to check your Martial Spirit," said Han Xiao.
Bi Jiao regained her composure and felt the Qi flowing into each of her meridians. After a while Han Xiao withdrew his Qi and hands.
"You have Fire and Water Martial Spirits, it's rare to have Martial Spirits that contradict each other like this," Han Xiao said slightly surprised.
"That's because you're stupid!" Bi Jiao protested.
"I?" Han Xiao pointed his nose in confusion.
"Yes you! After the incident in the Forest of Darkness somehow my Martial Spirit changed. My Martial Spirit originally came from Water and Wood elements."
Han Xiao was stunned by the answer.
Apart from dantian, a cultivator must have a martial spirit, usually when one has a dantian, one will have it. This Martial Spirit is the key and the difference between cultivators and ordinary people.
The Martial Spirit would activate when one entered the first Silver Realm, but could only be used when the cultivator reached the second Silver Realm. Upon reaching the second Silver Realm, a cultivator's Martial Spirit could absorb Qi from his dantian and transform the Qi into an element.
The Martial Spirit is divided into several parts, namely the Elementum of Water, Fire, Earth, Steel and Wood. Weapon Martial Spirits that vary such as Swords, Spears, Machetes, Axes and others, there are also Beast Martial Spirits that can provide additional power when making body changes.
There are also rare Martial Spirits such as Time Martial Spirits, Space Martial Spirits, Sound Martial Spirits, Thunder Martial Spirits, Shadow Martial Spirits and many more.
There are some people who can be born with a special Martial Spirit, Bing Xing is one of them with an ice elemental Martial Spirit that transforms his Dantian into an ice elemental Martial Spirit, but not all cultivators who wish to use ice elemental magic must possess an ice elemental Martial Spirit, as long as their Martial Spirit contains the elemental martial spirit. water, they could do it though not as strong as those with ice elemental Martial Spirits.
Usually cultivators have one element in Martial Spirit. The best Martial Spirits were those with two elements like Bi Jiao's. Because it is very rare for cultivators to have two Martial Spirits or so-called twin Martial Spirits.
In the world of Cultivators, having a lot of Magic does look awesome but in reality it's not that easy because everyone's time is limited and it's better to master one powerful magic than ten ordinary magics. That's why it's better to focus on one element and master that element as deeply as possible.
to use Magic a Cultivator had to master the mudras or hand seals. Each magic has a different combination of hand spells but all of them are rooted in 9 hand mudras. Namely Rin, Kyo, To, Sha, Kai, Retsu, Zai, Jin and Zen.
Rin is the element of Power, Kyo represents Energy, To shows Harmony, Sha is used as Healing, Kai is for Intuition, Retsu is Awareness, Zai is Dimension, Jin himself is Creation and lastly Zen is Absolute.
All magic uses a combination of these nine hand mudras, the stronger the magic the more complicated the combination but most magic always ends with a Jin spell.
In addition, these nine hand mudras also function in practice, for example when the body is injured usually a cultivator will recover by meditating while his hands form the Sha hand mudra so that the Qi in his body will work to heal his injuries.
"Did the Bi Clan give you any suitable magic?" asked Han Xiao.
"According to your statement, it is very difficult to find a suitable magic skill for me due to having the opposite Martial Spirit." Bi Jiao smiled wryly.
The Bi Clan focused on water elemental magic, so when Bi Jiao had an opposing Martial Spirit they had a hard time finding Fire magic that was on par with high Clan magic. If Bi Jiao wants to control the two elements then Water and Fire must be balanced so as not to swallow each other.
Han Xiao touched Bi Jiao's forehead sending a wizarding guide to him, "This magic is suitable for you."
Bi Jiao digested the memories she had, after digesting them all she looked at Han Xiao in disbelief, "Th...this is how you gave me this high-level magic!"
Han Xiao performs the hand mudra for magic which is ended by the To and Jin mudra. As soon as fire and water appeared in his hand, these two elements formed Yin and Yang showing that the two elements were in balance.
After digesting the memories obtained from the Sacred Tiger. Han Xiao and Ne Zha gained a lot of knowledge about Magic, cultivation techniques, fighting techniques and much more.
"I told you if you followed me I would give you a huge advantage." Han Xiao smiled.
Bi Jiao rushed to hug Han Xiao then kissed him gently, when satisfied he released the kiss, "Thank you."
"Yeah, never mind come on later the parents outside are raving again since we're late."
The meeting this time was a gathering for the Yang Empire, the Bi Clan and the Northern Falcon Palace.
Han Xiao and Bi Jiao walked towards the main hall, in the hall there was already Emperor Yang Qian and the Patriarch of the Bi Clan..
The Patriarch of the Bi Clan, Bi Nianzu was overjoyed when he saw Bi Jiao walking with Han Xiao, even though the great Bi Clan was still nothing in the eyes of the Yang Empire, so when he saw Han Xiao's closeness to his son he was overjoyed.
At another table a girl coldly saw the arrival of Han Xiao and Bi Jiao together.
"Han'er has come." Emperor Yang Qian smiled. "Let's start the meeting this time."
Han Xiao put his hands together in a salute then sat on the seat beside Emperor Yang Qian.
"First of all, I would like to thank Young Lady Bi and Young Lady Bing for helping my son, who is experiencing a calamity in the Forest of Darkness." Emperor Yang Qian smiled at Bi Jiao and Bing Xing.
"Your Majesty is too shy," Bing Xing replied, actually she couldn't stand this lie.
"We are on the same banner, so it's a must to help each other," said Patriarch Nianzu.
"Okay, oh yeah where's Patriarch Donghai?" the person Emperor Yang Qian was referring to was Northern Falcon Palace Patriarch Bing Donghai.
Bing Xing got up to greet him, "Sorry for the Patriarch being unable to come as he is in closed-door meditation, so our Grand Elder came."
After saying this a beautiful woman who had a chill on her body came into the hall and paid respects to Emperor Yang Qian.
"Sorry for the delay, Your Majesty's servant," said the woman.
"Grand Elder Jinghua, welcome we acknowledge that as the Northern Falcon Palace and Woaven City are very far apart." Emperor Yang Qian smiled.
The woman bowed and sat down beside Bing Ruomei.
"Since everyone is here we will get to the point." Han Xiao raised his voice with a smile. To be honest he was tired of this meeting and was also uncomfortable wearing the robe.
Emperor Yang Qian looked at Han Xiao and then looked around, indeed what everyone had been waiting for had arrived so he immediately raised his voice, "We are here today for the Miracle Battle."
When talking about the Battle of Miracles everyone present became serious this was not about a simple battle, but involving the geniuses and prodigies of the three empires.
"Your Majesty means that we will form an alliance?" asked Bing Xing, she is a smart girl so when she first talked about it she already knew.
"Yes, consider it a token of gratitude for helping my son Han Xiao."
Grand Elder Jinghua was still calm as if this was happening as he expected, but it was different from Bi Nianzu who was very happy to have an alliance with the empire.
"We will do our best, Your Majesty." Bi Nianzu saluted Emperor Yang Qian.
"We also." Bing Jinghua also got up and saluted.
Emperor Yang Qian nodded then smiled as this was indeed what he expected, "You will be with Han Xiao's team."
Emperor Yang Qian's words left the hall silent and filled with confusion.
"Your Majesty, are you not mistaken? I don't mean to belittle but Young Master Han, don't you have cultivation?" asked Bing Jinghua in confusion.
Bing Xing just tilted her head she thought that being in Han Xiao's team herself wouldn't help much with Han Xiao's great strength, not to mention Ne Zha who couldn't be measured by reason, no they both couldn't be measured by reason.
Bi Nianzu was also confused, "Isn't His Highness looking for a team for Young Master Qianfan?"
"No, I invite you guys to be Han'er's team. As for Fan'er she already has her own team," Emperor Yang Qian replied.
"Father–" Han Xiao was about to protest but with Emperor Yang Qian's casual movements, his Fate Palace came out and shocked Bing Jinghua, Bi Nianzu even Bing Xing genius he was shocked to see the four Fate Palaces, not to mention he saw the faint shadow of the fifth Palace.
Bi Jiao who knew Han Xiao well enough was calm as this was within her expectations, if Han Xiao was an ordinary Cultivator how could he possibly finish off the Jade Lightning Ape so easily? Not to mention the Demonic Beast even he suppressed the entire five-star hunter!
Bing Xing was surprised because she found out that Han Xiao having a second level of Gold Realm practice already had the four Fate Palaces along with the fifth shadow.
"But he is still lacking to go against Qianfan who has five Fate Palaces and sixth Golden Realm practice level," Bing Xing thought but she didn't know why she always believed in Han Xiao.
Han Xiao resentfully pulled the Fate Palace back into his Neigong meridians.
"I think that's enough for this meeting," said Han Xiao and then left the hall.
Emperor Yang Qian had expected Han Xiao to be like that, but sooner or later the world would know that Han Xiao already possessed sufficient cultivation to be called a genius.
Bi Jiao looked at Han Xiao's back who was slowly walking away from the assembly hall, "Why doesn't he want his cultivation to be known?" Bi Jiao thought.
"Fine, in two months there will be elections for another four seats." Emperor Yang Qian declared his intention.
"Father! It's just me, Ne Zha, Xing, and Jiao I don't need anyone else for my team," Han Xiao's voice sounded from a distance.
Bing Xing just shook her head at Han Xiao's childish behavior, while Bi Jiao started to blush because she felt needed by Han Xiao.
Emperor Yang Qian sighed softly and said what Han Xiao wanted to Patriarch Nianzu and Grand Elder Jinghua.
"But Your Majesty, the team for the Duel Miracle Battle requires at least six or seven people," Grand Elder Jinghua said.
"I'll take care of that."
With that the meeting ended even though it ended with Han Xiao protesting.
***
"If you're angry, be mad at me don't leave the Clan."
Ne Zha stared boredly at Patriarch Hong who had been babbling since last night to persuade him not to leave the Clan.
"Okay I won't go," replied Ne Zha.
Patriarch Hong was very happy to hear Ne Zha's answer because if the Clan had a talented disciple like Ne Zha, the Clan's progress would be very clear but Ne Zha's next words left him confused.
"I will not represent the Clan in the Miracle Battle."
"Why? With your power you can lead your own team."
"I already have a team."
"Who's your team?" astonished Patriarch Hong.
"I'm the team," a shrill and excited voice came from inside Ne Zha's room.
Patriarch Hong glared at Ne Zha, he knew that Ne Zha often hid women in his room, "What stupid are you doing? Su Lihwa is here and you brought another woman?!"
Ne Zha smiled wryly at Patriarch Hong's thoughts, indeed he hid Xia Shiva in his residence but it was only to cure him not as strange as Patriarch Hong had in mind.
Xia Shiva came out of Ne Zha's room and met Patriarch Hong.
"Patriarch Hong, I am Ne Zha's team and there is also Su Lihwa," said Xia Shiva.
Patriarch Hong frowned as he recognized the cheerful and shrill girl, "You... Xia Shiva? Princess of the Xia Kingdom?"
The Kingdom of Xia was one of the kingdoms under the rule of the Yang Empire.
Xia Shiva nodded, "Yes it's me."
