«A dantian is a sea of Qi or is the qi focus flow centers. They are the important focal points in doing meditative or exercise techniques like martial arts, sorcery ecetera» Pearce's replica said with a calm look on his face.
«Oh...» Pearce muttered as he got enlightened, but not long after, he asked curiously...
«What so I now have it?»
«What do you mean you now have it? of cause you have it, all human beings do» Pearce's replica replied with obvious look on his face
«Then what about my dantian do you want to talk to me for» Pearce asked with a confused expression on his face.
«Just look at what is in your dantian» Pearce's replica said with an irritated expression on his face.
When Pearce heard what his replica said, he immediately closed his eyes as he inspects his dantian. But as soon as he did so, his expression quickly changed into shock as he exclaimed internally.
«What is this!!?»
What Pearce saw in his dantian was a dark and starry foreign liquid that lay dormant in his dantian.
«What you just saw in your dantian is the Origin Qi» Pearce's replica spoke calmly with a serene expression on his face. Before Pearce could ask his replica what a Origin Qi is, he heard his replica spoke again.
«Pearce, it is time for you to know who I am and why I am in your mind»
When Pearce heard that, his expression suddenly became solemn as he spoke...
«Am listening»
After taking in a deep breath, Pearce's replica began to talk with a rather deep and solemn voice...
«My name is Di Kun but people remember me as the Monster Slayer. I am one of the people that created the Monster Slaying Regiment you are in now and am also the one that saved your grandfather all those years ago»
«What!!» Pearce exclaimed with a blank expression on his face.
Di Kun!!
The legendary Monster Slayer!!
And the co founder of the Monster Slaying Regiment!!
While Pearce was still in the Children Encampment Centre, he has heard stories of the legendary person that took down a dozen of Monster King Powerhouse while he was just at the peak phase of the 1st stage in the Qi King Rank!!
Not only that, but he was the only human to battle the devil lord while being in the lower Power Rank and come out alive. All this just shows how monstrous his talents were when he was still around.
«Shocked, eh?» Di Kun said with a proud smile on his face. But Pearce didn't seem to care as he hurriedly asked...
«I thought you might have become a God already?»
What Pearce just said was what he heard from his teacher when he was in the Children Encampment Centre. What made his teacher to say this was because not long after the Monster Slayer had a battle with the Devil Lord, he suddenly vanished without a trace. So the higher-ups quickly fabricated a story saying that the Monster Slayer has ascended into Godhood.
«Me? A God? you overestimate me kid» Di Kun said with a wry smile on his face.
«Then what made you to suddenly vanish out of existence?» Pearce asked with a curious expression on his face.
«Because of you» Di Kun replied with a calm smirk on his face. But Pearce had a more confusing expression as he muttered...
«What?»
«Now that you know who I am. let's move on to the more important part» Di Kun calmly said as he suddenly became serious.
«Wait there is something more important to what you just said earlier?» Pearce asked with his confused expression becoming more intense. But Di Kun didn't seem to care as he spoke seriously...
«Yes and that is you are the chosen descendant of the Godly Sovereign Emperor»
«Sovereign Emperor....» Pearce suddenly muttered as he began to ponder why that name sounds familiar. But not long after, he remembered where he heard that name from.
Pearce heard that name from a man called Divine Steward Wang when he was in the Origin Slabs.
«Wait you vanished all those years ago because of the Sovereign Emperor» Pearce suddenly asked Di Kun.
«Exactly» Di Kun replied before he continued...
«I vanished all those years ago because the Sovereign Emperor bestowed to me the task of guiding his chosen descendant to following his footsteps»
«Which now comes to the most crucial part of this all. Are you ready?»
When Pearce heard all this, he began to ponder with a solemn look on his face. Although he knew that things wouldn't be as simple as eradicating all the monsters in the world after seeing the Divine Steward Wang, he never knew that things would have gotten to this extent.
Following the Sovereign Emperor footsteps?
Isn't that becoming a God?
«I think there is something I need to tell you that will make you to accept this path» Di Kun suddenly said with a mysterious smile on his face.
«And what would that be?» Pearce asked with a tinge of curiosity on his face
«When you become a God, you can have the chance of reviving your family» Di Kun said with a smile still on his face.
«What!?» Pearce exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face.
«Gods are being who have ascends mortality so basically there powers will obviously be also one that has ascends mortality» Di Kun said with a calm smile on his face. but that smile quickly froze when he heard what Pearce said next...
«I hope you are deceiving me?»
'This kid...' Di Kun thought as he suddenly became irked internally. But he quickly composed himself as he said.
«I can swear to Sovereign Emperor that what I all said is true»
«Then do it» Pearce said with a bright smile on his face. When Di Kun saw this after hearing what Pearce said, he nearly puked out blood from anger. But he quickly calmed himself down as he thought...
'Calm down. He is the Sovereign Emperor descendant so I just have to endure this humiliation'
After calming himself down, he slowly raised his right hand while putting his left hand on his chest before he began to swear...
«I swear to the Sovereign Emperor that what I all said is true»
«That's good» Pearce said with an excited expression on his face as he thought...
'I finally have the chance of seeing my family again'
While saying that in his mind, he began to remember his family that consist of his parents and a small little girl which were all holding hands.
Not long after, he came to reality as he spoke with a rather surprising serious face on his face...
«I agree»
«Nice» Di Kun said as he internally sighed in relief.
Knock! Knock!!
Suddenly, a knock was heard on the door of Pearce's room. When Pearce heard this, his expression changed as he thought...
'Sh*t, I forgot they are waiting for me'
"Come in" Pearce quickly said which after the door got opened. But the people that got in is only his Monster Slayers group.
"How are you feeling now Captain?" Robert asked with a concerned look on his face. Not only him, but the others also have a concerned look on there faces. When Pearce heard and saw this, he suddenly became warm inside as he answered...
"Am fine guys, no need to worry"
And so everyone sighed in relief as they had a calm smile on there faces.
"Where are the others?" Pearce suddenly asked with a light smile on his face.
"The seniors went to handle some issues in the station while the others went back to continue their duties" George answered calmly.
"So what plans do we have now Captain?" Robert suddenly asked with an excited expression on his face. During the time Pearce got kidnapped till the time he woke up from his coma, he was the one who was handling the Monster Slayers.
When Pearce heard this, he suddenly became perplexed on what to say since he doesn't have any plans at the moment. But suddenly, Di Kun said in his head...
«You guys should venture off to the world»
«Huh? what do you mean?» Pearce asked with a confused expression on his face.
«What I mean is you can't possibly achieve God hood while being kept in this couped up space called the Monster Slaying Regiment station. You guys need to go out there and face the world that is full of mysteries and challenges, that way you guys can improve tremendously» Di Kun explained with a serious look on his face.
When Pearce heard this, he suddenly became enlightened as he looked at his group and said with a profound smile on his face...
"Our next plan is to go through a new and dangerous path"
