Chapter 2: Devil inside him Part 2

"You might be a devil. But, don't forget I'm am a Great Emperor." The Great Emperor showed a bit of annoyance when he got underestimated by the devil. He raised his hand and formed a massive palm in the sky.

"Jie! Jie! Jie! A Great Emperor, huh! What a nice meal? I wonder if it could awaken Heaven Exterminating Bloodline. No, now I should call it Primordial Darkness Bloodline." The devil raised his finger and slashed the palm in half.

"I know you are an emperor. But, I have wasted enough energy with you. Now, let me devour you." The devil raised his hand and formed dark energy encircled. That created a powerful suction force which started tearing the phantom.

"Demonic Sin of Gluttony- Devour!"

"Whattttt? Howwww?" The Great Emperor couldn't even resist the power of gluttony. It was almost like the darkness was sucking him. As soon as the phantom disappeared, the devil raised his hand and the drop of blood moved above his palm.

Slowly, the devil retreated to Qin's body and the blood also entered his body. At this moment, the devil made the last sentences before disappearing.

"Tch! Qin Che, can you uncover the power of Seven Primordial Devils? We'll see. Jie! Jie! Jie!"

Unfortunately, Qin was completely unaware of it. He had no idea what was happening in his body since he was unconscious.

In the village,

"Sir, we have found out the culprit. It was none other than the boy Qin Che. He stole the pendent and ran away. We have sent a group to chase him." A middle-aged man wearing armor bowed down to a man in front of him and answered.

"Hmm! Ask them to bring Qin back alive. I don't want him dead." The man fondles his black beard and spoke. He was wearing a black dress with a sword on his waist. His words startled the soldier but he still nodded his head and retreated.

"Brother, are really going to sit back and wait till those soldiers find our most precious treasure? And, why would you even want that kid alive?" Another man wearing a black dress shouted.

"You don't understand this, brother. That kid did steal it but he didn't steal it for himself. He doesn't even know what's in there. So, whoever stole it must be someone who has been planning this for a long time. What I want to know is whether that kid was a part of his plan from the start or it was just a fate." The man kept fondling his beard as he spoke.

"Oh yeah! I never get a chance to ask this. What made that pendent so precious?" His brother looked at him with confusion and asked.

"You seriously don't know? Oh yeah! You never stayed in the house." The man sighed as he moved his hand on his brother's shoulder and continued "That pendant is a treasure passed down from generation. It has the blood of the Great Emperor."

"Wait, what? Then why aren't we using it?" His brother asked with confusion when he heard those words.

"Of course, we can't use it. Do you think he is someone else? He was a great emperor from our own family. And, he thinks only when a person with incredible talent to be a Great Emperor get born in our family, then he can inherit this bloodline." The man explains.

"Huh! Is our Tan family emperor an idiot? Why would he need a bloodline from Great Emperor if he already has the talent to be one?" His brother asks with the same confused face. Seeing this, the man sighed at his brother's unawareness.

"When you cultivate, you will find it very hard, right?" The man asked.

"Of course, cultivation is hard." His brother replies.

"And, it takes years to cross one realm, doesn't it?" The man asked again.

"Of course, it does. I am forty-four but only in Qi Condensation Realm." His brother nodded his head and answered.

"Then, what would you do to make it shorter and faster?" The man asked.

"We take pills. Why are you asking me such easy questions, brother?" His brother replied with a bit of annoyance.

"Well, just think of a bloodline like a pill. Except, it doesn't have any side effects. So, it will increase cultivation speed and you can again improve it by taking pills. Either way, Great Emperor found that if you reach that realm within the certain age, you can ascend to the highest realm but if you don't, then you will be stuck there forever."

"That's why the Great Emperor doesn't want any trash to have that bloodline. As for why I am not sending anyone to retrieve it? Well, this isn't the first time it has got stolen. In fact, it has been stolen by our own family members many times in the past."

"But, the thief was killed and the blood returned back to the family on its own. Since it is the Great Emperor, the second strongest realm in the world, nobody will dare to enrage him. But, all of these have been written off from the history and only passed down in our family and some other families." The man finally finished explaining and looked at the setting sun.

At this moment, Qin was still on the edge of the forest. His body was covered with dark fog and it was slowly transforming into something.

...….

The next day came soon, as the sun ray fell on his eyes, Qin opened them. He covered his face with his hand and tried to get up.

"What just happened?"

Qin looked at his surroundings and found some broken trees and the parts of the thatched house. He looked around and found he was alone. He removed the dust from his body and find something different about his own body.

But, he didn't have time to think about that. He was worried that the family had already caught up.

'What should I do? Should I try to find that old man? Wait, where is the scroll?' Qin instantly panicked and forgot about the old man. He looked around and saw the red scroll a few meters away. And, it was also open.

'I hope nothing has happened to it.' Qin feared that the scroll might get torn but fortunately, nothing happened. He picked up the scroll and read a few words.

'Qi is the energy of heaven and earth. It lives in every part of the world. But, some places make Qi happy while some places make Qi sad. Wherever it fits, the Qi lives.'

'Five Elements are scattered around you. Feel them, draw them, and absorb them. Each element is an outcome of law. Condense a law, and form the element.'

'Huh! Why does it feel so easy to understand?'

'I feel like I can draw qi from the surroundings.' Suddenly, Qin got startled and immediately sat down. It wasn't simply the words. It was the flow of those words. If he can understand the flow, he can recite it. And once reciting the flow, he can draw the qi from the surroundings.

Cultivation Technique is a method to draw the surrounding qi into your body. Once you learn the flow, understand it, you can draw more qi into your body. This is why cultivation technique is important. And, you must have a cultivation technique to absorb qi.

Each word on a cultivation technique consists of a certain flow, once you learn that flow, you can master a part of it. And, just by looking at it can be impossible to understand. A person reads the cultivation technique, remembers it, and tries to comprehend the flow in his mind again and again.

But, Qin was shocked because he was able to understand the flow just by reading it. That made no sense. He couldn't comprehend it last night so, why now?

He didn't know that his body was transformed by the Blood of a Great Emperor. And, that now his current comprehension was at the level of a Great Emperor. Just reciting these words and understanding the flow was just like looking at his past memories.

The qi was transparent. It couldn't be seen but he could indeed do something to make it visible. He could use his cultivation technique to form an element. And unlike other cultivation techniques, this allows him to form five different elements.

But before he transforms his qi into an element, he must enter the world of cultivation. It starts with Qi Gathering Realm. The surrounding qi gathers at his body. The more he focuses on those worlds, the clearer the flow becomes, and more qi gathers at his body.

The qi penetrates his cells and enters his blood vessel. On the first stage of the Qi Gather Realm, he must open the Qi meridian that has been blocked on his chest. The meridian is simply a coil of a few veins that have remained stagnant in the human body to the point that they couldn't be found easily.

The qi slowly moves to his chest and tries to locate the Qi Meridian. And, here once the cultivation technique plays a huge role. Qin remembers the location of the meridians just from the cultivation, so he focuses all of that qi into a certain left part of the chest.

The best thing about the Qi is its feeling. Normally, Qi feels cool and gentle. The qi inside his body feels the same. It moves to that exact position but suddenly paused. Qin didn't open his eyes even though the flow of his qi stopped.

He absorbed more qi and keeps on filling that spot until his chest starts to swollen. Finally, he pushes all of that qi with a single shot.

"Break!"
