บท 20: Soul Warming Lotus

(If you don't understand something when reading the part where MC talked with zangetsu and old man, you don't need to worry as that part won't be mentioned again in the story)

Liu Zheng summoned both zangetsu and old man to discuss how do to deal with the pure spiritual liquid covering it and he for the first time in both his life saw Old man zangetsu with a stunned expression. Old man is always serious or poetically sad about the rain or just doing what he usually does with his normal serious looking face but his face did look kind of funny.

"So, what should we do about it? are we just going to dispel it or you guys know any use for it?" Liu Zheng asked both of them.

"I don't know how to deal with such complex stuff king. Ask the old man for these things though i can say for sure you can't absorb it right now or your soul will just explode and not even we can do that because our limit is decided by your cultivation realm." Zangetsu shrugged his shoulders and explained and pointed towards old man.

Liu Zheng tapped old man on the shoulder to make him come to his senses and asked "So what do we do now?"

"Uh-ah, So talking about the spiritual liquid preserving this precious treasure. I can seal it somewhere deep in your mind space and when it transforms into a knowledge sea I will slowly release the seals on it allowing your soul cultivation to go smoothly until the peak of Saint realm with the amount present here ?" Old man asked.

"Oh yes, Yhwach cultivated the dao of spirt arrays too which includes protective, defensive, sealing, qi gathering etc kind of arrays and you said you did inherit a little. So, do you need our help in the sealing process ?"

"It is a very simple process which works on the same principle of spiritual energy gathering and sealing which i could teach you too after we are done with this. I will start the process immediately, you just need to sit down in a meditative position for a few hours." Old mad replied and Liu Zheng thanked him and did as he asked.

After a few hours the process was done and surprisingly Liu Zheng didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Now it was time for the Soul warming lotus. Both Old Man and zangetsu returned to his mind space and he stretched his hand to start absorbing the lotus but it transformed into some sort of energy state and entered his body.

Liu Zheng's cultivation rose to Separation and Reunion 6th stage after absorbing it but it was well within his expectations. He went inside his mind space but didn't find the lotus but old man said you can only see it after forming your own knowledge sea.

Liu Zheng was fine with waiting till then but old man zangetsu suddenly asked him a question

"Liu Zheng, ever since leaving the sect you have moved around with motive as if you knew exactly when somethings were going to happen and where the treasurers are. I trust you but it seems to me that you are keeping some things from us which shouldn't be possible since we have watched you since you were a child."

It struck Liu Zheng that they don't know anything about his previous life so they would definitely find it suspicious for to know so many things but now comes the question whether telling them would be good choice.

Liu Zheng didn't even know how it will effect them if they got to know they were characters in a manga and he requested for their powers from some sort being he didn't even know much about though He was sure that he was the original Liu Zheng since the administrator did mention that his soul will reincarnate in this world and awaken memories of this life later on and not devour or take someone else's place which would even worse than swapping someone's destiny.

He decided to tell them directly by transferring these memories to them since he would at least want someone he could share these things with and who would be a better person than himself(The blade is me).

Zangetsu was the first one who started to speak with his usual menacing smile "Wow king i was much more cooler in that thing you called bleach but given the situation i would have acted the same if it were you cause who would want to know that your powers are same which took your mother you. One would start to despise one's whole being if that were the case." and ended with a serious look on his face.

Old man took even longer time but he finally spoke "That guy ichigo's story is quite pitiful to say the least. He was born as the most powerful hybrid without even knowing it, he wanted to live a normal life but the those with power always got in his way by threatening his loved ones lives or using him to fight their battles with the excuse of justice and greater good. The me from that world truly is similar to me in the regard of keeping him out of wars by any means possible."

He looked at Liu Zheng and said "You don't need to worry about anything Liu Zheng. You are the same soul which was born in this body because due to powers if there would been a change in your soul, we would have sensed it and even resisted it. Though this whole thing does prove that their are many different realities apart from the 3000 worlds and many powerful beings even beyond the whole outer verse."

Zangetsu put a hand on Liu Zheng's arm and said "Yeah king, you don't need to worry about these things at all and you were the one who requested for me so i wouldn't even have existed if it weren't for you. So no matter what you do we will support you with our best." and old man nodded to agree with him.

"But after learning about your past life i would like to ask you Liu Zheng, What is your goal in this life?" Old mas asked Liu Zheng.

This was a question Liu Zheng never thought deeply about because he was happy enough to get a second chance at life, more so that with so many advantages that absolutely anything is possible for him. He thought for a second and replied

"I want to be able to strong enough to control my circumstances this time around and actually live life. So yeah for everything i need to do becoming the strongest is a must and i will be depending on you guys."

Both of them just smiled and nodded and he left his mind space.

Liu Zheng examined all the treasures and they were really quite good. It also included 5 elemental treasures which were all spirit grade so he could now finally begin cultivating the World Body art.

He also got a few rare herbs which were up to spirit grade and an alchemy book which included many pill recipes and spirit arrays of high level mysterious grade.

He stored everything in his dimension bag except the elemental treasures, sat in a meditative position, put the treasures around him and started using the World Body Cultivation Art.

It had 12 parts in total in which the last 9 parts were for the open heaven realm and the first three for before it.

Liu Zheng started with the first part which was for Tempered body stage to Transcendent Stage and it had a lot of strange stances and styles but he started none the less.

The first one was the lunar sun style, when he attempted it for the first time his body had many muscle tears and bled from many different spots.

He couldn't hold out for long laid down on the ground but he knew that without the grind he won't be able to achieve anything so he attempted the style again and his whole body was in intense pain but he didn't give up even when some of his bones had a few cracks and restructured, and slowly the power of the 5 elements and pure yin-yang qi from his dantain seeped into his muscles, bones, blood increasing the healing rate by a large margin.

This process continued for a whole week where he followed everything in the Body Art religiously for a whole week and was finally able to absorb all the treasures completely.

There was a new type of Qi full of vitality circulating through his body including his bones, bone marrow, muscles, blood, blood essence and everything. Every single cell in his body had the newly formed Yin-Yang+ 5 elements Qi which he named Indestructible Element Qi which drastically improved his strength, durability , reflexes and most notably gave him regenerative powers.

[Congratulations host, you have acquired Indestructible Element World Physique

Indestructible Element World Physique - Obtained by those who cultivate the World Body Cultivation art which provides strength, speed, durability, reflexes which would always be supreme in the same cultivation realm only matched by the dragons of purest of bloodlines as well as very high regenerative powers which if cultivated to the pinnacle can regenerate the whole body from a single cell]

To test this out he cut his index finger with a quincy blade and it regenerated within half a minute. Though it would make much more time to regenerate a whole arm and vital organs but this is just the first part of the body art and in the later stages it was possible to regenerate your arms, legs and vital organs within moments and your body can even regenerate back from a single cell in the open heaven high rank stages.

He left the cave from another entrance and started finding the Gigantic Yang stone which would help him break through the true element realm.
