God Of Immortals

Chapter 54: Encounters [I]

"The radiance of light contained the eternal qualities of wholeness, purity, wisdom, courage and love. When you strive to nurture these things in you, the light within you is on its way of becoming one with nature and thereby becoming one with creation. This is the true way for light affiliates to achieve eternity. Do you know what that is?"

Elder Cao Wang Xiu asked the listening disciples. Without waiting for their answers, she continued.

"That, young ones, is our immortal ascension. It's totally different from martial combat. When you have the radiance of light in you, it means you are a light cultivator. It means you have the capacity to call on the power of light. To be a supreme martial artist, you'll still need an ultimate martial technique. It's through the combination of the martial techniques that you can display the various manifestation of the power of light element."

She halted her lecture and walked to the front of the hall where her oak table was located. She extended her hand and patted the wooden box on the table. Few seconds later, she turned her head towards the direction of her disciples.

"Do you remember the radiant light I showed you when I first began to teach you? That was called Glory-Of-Heaven. It was a martial technique and part of a stellar technique belonging to the elders of the house of light. The strength of your cultivation's level will determine the strength level of your light element manifestation, and it will be difficult for you to master a martial technique without a good level of cultivation. Although, your physical body can only manifest a little amount of elements, that amount is highly significant."

Elder Wang Xiu raised one finger as she continued to watch her disciples.

"Don't get me wrong. The nascent soul or absolute weapon still remain the best way to fully manifest the affiliated elements. But both still rely on the on the cultivation strength of a martial artist. The level of your cultivation will show the power of your nascent soul. Same with your weapon, your level of strength will determine how strongly, you'll bring out the power of your weapon."

She clapped her hands together making a thunderous sound jolting the disciples back to the reality.

"There are three things I've mentioned that makes a cultivator. First one is elemental affinity, and in our case, is the light element. The second one is cultivation. And the third one is techniques. Remember this clearly, the road to eternity is a difficult one. Even with all these things, you'll still need real luck. Nonetheless, the least you can do is to be adept in all these areas. I'll see you the day after tomorrow. Till then, study and practice well."

She turned to Jufeng who was about to leave with Lin Cheung and Lin DaXia.

"Ju Feng. Wait behind."

Ju Feng who was fretfully confounded, stared around the hall to confirm he heard correctly and the stares he received from others confirmed it. He was the only one bearing the name among the new disciples of the house of light anyway. He patiently waited until everyone had left, remaining only him and elder Cao Wang Xiu.

"Don't you worry. You are not in any kind of trouble. If that'll ease your mind."

Elder Wang Xiu with a smirk on her face, inspected Ju Feng.

"How does it feel to be a true premier? Wonderful?"

Jufeng nodded respectfully before he replied.

"Yes, elder Cao."

"You''ll be among the first set to advance to the Zhuji stage. I remembered when I became a full premier too. Long time ago, but truly wonderful. You see everything with a different view. You can now use a fragment of spiritual sight to see many things. Including vibrant energy of plants, trees and animals. You can even see the traces of the aura of other cultivators if they decided to manifest it or you have higher levels than them."

She stopped to look at Ju Feng for a moment before continuing.

"Which brings me to you. It's about your auric light. You need to know how to control it. Your iron aura is getting stronger and brighter over time. Very soon, it'll be drawing too much attention to you. Especially, those with evil intention. Because, you'll be like a beacon of target." 

Elder Cao Wang Xiu moved towards the other side of the hall and signalled Ju Feng to follow.

"To show you what I'm talking about, I'll teach you how to start using your spiritual sight ahead of time. Won't be much, but it's something. Come."

She gestured towards the other side of the hall which had the bamboo mats for meditation.

"Sit down and cross your legs in the lotus position. Now, close your eyes. Withdraw your sight into your consciousness. Keep withdrawing it into your consciousness untill you see a part of your consciousness that appeared to be watching you back." 

Elder Cao Wang Xiu continued to direct Ju Feng's consciousness with her voice. Several minutes later, she saw the expressions on the face of Ju Feng who was still closing his eyes and nodded.

"That's your spiritual sight. Let the two merge together. Now, open your eyes and tell me what you see."

Ju Feng opened his eyes to look at elder Cao Wang Xiu, but immediately covered them, turning to the other side. The light coming from her body was blinding.

"What you saw is my aura. I intentionally manifested it so that you can see it. With my full aura, you can easily determine my level of cultivation and strength level. In combats, you don't want to underestimate your opponents or attack them blindly because your opponents might be suppressing their aura. That means your reincarnation."

With her gaze fixed on Ju Feng, she continued. 

"Like others, your aura too has manifested. That shows people you are a full premier, which is good. But with the radiant grey light of your iron aura, your opponent will know that you are a true premier which can be really bad for you. That's why I want to show you how to suppress and control it."
