Chapter 19: fighting a body cultivator
Feng Hao reached a forest after 1 month. He looked at the forest and said " the rising moon forest. This forest acts as the border between the silver moon and rising sun country, I need to cross it to reach the other country".
"But from what i heard it contain beast at the peak of Qi gathering realm and the king beast is at the foundation establishment realm".
Feng Hao decided on entering the forest as he wanted to leave the country as fast as possible.
He entered the forest and was very careful in his movement.
He walked in the forest for a few hours before a white shadow launched toward him.
Feng Hao reacted fast as his sword appeared and used it as a shield.
BOOOOM
The shadow slammed into Feng Hao causing it to be launched in the air for 30 meters before he stabilised himself.
Feng Hao hands were trembling from the impact. He looked and found that the shadow who attacked him was a middle-aged man.
He was a middle-aged man with tattered clothes. There were multiple scars on his face that makes it hard to look at it. The middle-aged man looked at Feng Hao and said " I didn't expect you to react to my attack and block it, that sword must be at least at the low grade earth weapon, but it will not change the fact that you are going to die".
"Give me all of your possessions and i Jaing Tain will make your death a fast and painless one"..
Feng Hao eyes turned cold as he said " I didn't expect to meet a bandit after few hours of entering the forest".
He started to inspect the Jaing Tain and found that he has a very small amount Qi in his body that barely qualifies him to be at the 1st stage of Qi gathering. Feng Hao was puzzled at first then remembered something he read many years ago.
The path of cultivation is divided into two paths:
1- Qi cultivation path: it's when the cultivator gathers the Qi inside his dantain then use it to form an immortal soul.
2- body cultivating path: its when the cultivator uses the Qi to refine his body to form an immortal body.
The body cultivation is smothering that the cultivators feel contempt from it, the reason for this contempt is that body cultivation gives little to nothing in increasing the longevity compared to the Qi cultivation.
He went to his father to ask him about it.
"Father, Why don't they cultivate on the two paths together?!" asked the young Feng Hao as he looked at the man on the chair.
The man was handsome and wore a gentle smile on his face as he looked at Feng Hao, He said " Body cultivation is 50 times harder than Qi cultivating.
for example, a person who is cultivating in the Qi cultivation and he has average talent will need 200 to 300 years to reach the core formation realm.
but if this person cultivated on both paths he will need 500 to 600 years to reach the core formation realm and the average lifespan of foundation establishment cultivator is 300 years.
The lifespan that is increased by the body cultivation is around 50 years.
so why he should cultivate in both paths? Also about following the body cultivation path, I don't recommend it because what is the use of making an immortal body if your soul isn't immortal?!" said Feng Hao father.
Feng Hao was brought back from his memories by the laughter of Jaing Tain.
"I gave you the chance and you throw it away. I Jaing Tain shall kill you " said the Jaing Tain as he launched toward Feng Hao.
Jaing Tain punched toward Feng Hao, his fist caused the wind to form around it
Feng Hao dodged the attack and slash his neck but the sword couldn't cut Jaing Tain neck and only caused a small scratch on it.
"as expected from earth level weapon but it will not be enough " said Jaing Tain as he touched his neck.
Feng Hao noticed that the scratch on Jaing Tain neck started to heal slowly.
He smiled and said "let's see the regeneration ability of a body cultivator ".
He activated his movement technique and attacked.
Feng Hao crossed 30 meters and appeared in front of Jaing Tain in an instant then stabbed Jaing Tain chest but couldn't penetrate it.
Jaing Tain laughed as he pushed toward Feng Hao again.
Feng Hao moved to the side and dodged the attack while he stabbed Jaing Tain chest again.
" it's useless, no matter how many times you try you will never wound me " said Jaing Tain while laughing.
Feng Hao attacks became faster then smiled "let's see if you can block this attack".
He stabbed again at Jain Tain.
" you are boring so I will stop playing with you " said Jaing Tain as his two hands moved to grab Feng Hao neck in order to break it.
Feng Hao smiled as he suddenly stopped the sword and kicked Jaing Tain in his balls.
When Feng Hao leg made contact with Jaing Tain balls, his hands stopped moving while his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Weird sound started to come out of Jaing Tain as his hands grabbed his balls.
Feng Hao used this as a chance and said " Xue Jiao, Hui Yin release the Qi i stored into both of you".
He transmitted all of the Qi from both girls into the sword and stabbed Jaing Tain chest which penetrated it but The sword didn't stop as it continued to Jaing Tain heart and pierced it.
Jaing Tain looked at Feng Hao with terror and said " How?!".
"2 reasons caused your death:
The first one is no matter how much you strengthen your body, a man balls will be the easiest part to damage.
The second reason is because you are arrogant and thought that i will never damage your body but you didn't even notice that all my attacks were in the same place" said Feng Hao as he draws the sword from Jaing Tain body.
Jaing Tain eyes started to lose focus as he fell on the ground with a thud.
Feng Hao said: " each path of cultivation has its own advantages and disadvantages but the body cultivation realm seems stronger in the early realm". Then he started to search Jaing Tain body and grabbed his storage ring.
He inspected the content of the ring and found a scroll. He grabbed the scroll then opened it, the more he read the more he smiled.
The scroll had a basic body cultivation technique.
"I can't increase my Qi cultivation level but i can cultivate my body" said Feng Hao as he started to search for a good cave.
