Xu Nian couldn't help but be jealous of their progress. At this point, he deliberately made it harder and harder for them, especially Xu Li.
He made sure Xu Li lagged behind, even if it was by an hour difference. ' A monstrous approach is required to train a monster. Even though she is my sister, I can't help but wonder about her true origin. No... I shouldn't.... I shouldn't hinder her growth. It's all because of that damn system. Ugghh!'
Xu Nian was in despair because of his stunted growth.
Even though the system was rewarding him greatly. It didn't turn him into a cultivator. He had such a massive Qi pool in one year that it could drown the entire world. To handle the pressure from this, he had adopted one of the most difficult methods prescribed in ancient texts that is to align the body with 'Chakras'.
In one of his previous lives, he ordained seven 'Chakras'. It was the most powerful and accurate measure to handle any form of energy. But, due to the systems indiscriminate contribution in increasing his Qi pool, he was left with no choice but to opt for the twelve 'Chakra' body. It was the most deadliest move he ever made in all of his lives, which he recalled. Pursuing twelve 'Chakras' simply meant a declaration of writing his own path in mind and body. He would weild his own karmic consequences, and none shall object him.
This meant a heavy declaration for Xu Nian as in his previous life, he went for only seven to not anger the world's sole energy called "Brahm." The formless energy that was the source of everything usually remained silent even to the call of a God. But it is always meddlesome when the energy of any world is off by even a bit.
It wasn't the only difficulty as after making this decision, he converted all of his Qi into pure energy, which meant alerting each and every godly being. " Ugh," Xu Nian couldn't help but agonize as how many obstacles he would have to face.
Regardless of him doing so, if only the system hadn't rang the Origin bell that is used for an announcement to the universe. ' I feel like this past year, the system has been proactively pushing me to take this path. ' Xu Nian was contemplating all sorts of possibilities. To him, being a cultivator was no longer an option as it would lead him to become a God at the end, which he detested. This meant that his new journey was going to be much harder to accomplish. ' Well, maybe in the way I can save this withering body. ' Xu Nian anticipated quite a number of results he would achieve and consoled his heart.
"Being 'Brahm' myself doesn't sound too bad."
Though at the moment looking at Xu Li, his heart was flaring in rage.
His subtle expression could be read by the three of them, but they could only pity him in understanding.
This behavior of his newly found comrades ticked Xu Nian every time. 'Why would you pity me? Even at this state, I can easily beat people. It's only that my hands won't work for me. Ahh... it pains me.'
He glanced at Wang's retreating figure and asked, " Where to ? " Wang cunningly replied ," Now that the situation in the Fenan region has calmed a little, it's best that we start packing. Miss has agreed to leave this place as soon as she reaches the state of Mahayana.
Xu Nian nodded at him. He looked around, recalling the events that took place in the past year. His first outing in a wheelchair was out of their broken hut and straight to the surrounding bush that covered the area like a wall. At first look he could tell it was deliberately planned. Though he later on made them clear out a portion of it, which turned into their courtyard.
Now, they didn't live in the broken hut, but a finely crafted tree house crafted by Xu Li. Xu Nian's room was at the bottom of a giant tree that supported their entire house. Xu Li lived right above. While Wang and Min occupied their hut after fixing it. All of them now had a place to call home.
Xu Nian was not too attached to this new home. The thought of traveling all around with his body plagued him more. He knew the hardships he and the others would face, but he could only be more determined to overcome the situation.
This past year, thanks to the system, Xu Nian miraculously gained a lot of things. From obtaining his own dimension to controlling space with a mere thought, he could do everything. The only thing that was a restriction to him was movement. This is why even after the system rang the Origin bell, no God took him seriously.
Xu Nian looked at the system window. His status screen showed him his accomplishments. Though it was like a cheat to gain qi simply by breathing or gaining max strength and stamina by moving his waist. It all gave flutters to Xu Nian, who was hungry for strength. He gained the absolute energy body that is simply thought to be a myth. His ever-growing Qi pool formed its own dimension.
The Heavenly Dissonance System granted him the ability to control the space. He improved his skills little by little. He was in no hurry with his own task. He simply rushed his new comrades to make a strong barrier for him to live in.
Xu Nian integrated his energy with his thoughts, enabling him to take any action by a mere thought. This was a new source of power as he could now rival anyone who was not a God.
' My new achievement is power induced through thought. ' Xu Nian gave an evil laugh. Min shuddered at the sound that he emitted she felt pain all over her body, thinking it was going to get harder in the future.
