Chapter 55: Talented in Spacetime
Inside Tianyi’s inner world, there seemed to have an additional sense of completeness and order that was not present before. It was an invisible feeling that could not be formed into words.
Tianyi’s soul had fallen down back down within a Core Formation Master’s level, but his soul was even more pure and dense than before. And it was quickly rising in strength once more. Before long, with half the effort and half the time, his soul would return to the threshold of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster.
Recalling the attack from Monarch Soulfish, Tianyi felt sweat sliding down his neck. Just from the immortal’s title as Monarch Soulfish, Tianyi would have to be a nitwit to not come to the correct assumption that Monarch Soulfish was a soul cultivator.
The attack of Soul Cultivator was mysterious and unfathomable. Those of the same realm would not dare to take one lightly. So how in the world did I offend this Monarch Soulfish to lower himself to attack me? He called me an outsider. Does he have a history with the Dragon Emperor, or... is he referring to my status as a transmigrator?
Right after Tianyi found a solution to his cultivation problems, another problem arose. After experiencing the queer attacks of a Soul Cultivator, Tianyi greatly desired a soul cultivation method. Or at the very least, a soul defensive method.
He had been lucky that the Three Pure True Self visualization technique had saved him from Monarch Soulfish’s attack, but ultimately he didn’t know how or why it saved his life. Instead of relying on chance, Tianyi would rather control a method in his own hands.
Tianyi resolved to cultivate a soul cultivation manual as soon as possible. And for the foreseeable, Tianyi will refuse to exit the sect. At least until his mother came back or a Monarch level immortal was accompanying him. The situation concerning his ambush was queer. How did Monarch Soulfish know where his location in the endless seas?
Monarch Soulfish didn’t happen to pass by and then attack since he was an “outsider” as Monarch called Tianyi, but rather lay down an ambush. Although it seemed that not much effort in the ambush, coupled with Tianyi’s treasures and Elder Meng’s help, he escaped in the end. Perhaps Elder Meng had called forth Grand Elder Zhang.
And the timing of Elder Meng was extremely on point as if she was there the whole time. But Tianyi could not answer these questions now that Elder Meng wasn’t here. At the very least, Elder Meng protected him.
Tianyi opened his eyes once more, and his heart felt at peace when he saw that he was once more in his room. For several years, he had not visited the Jade Lotus Clear Pond as it would have caused his cultivation to increase. Since it was collecting dust, Tianyi allowed Daoyi to cultivate within it.
Leaving his room, he heard the tall tale signs of Daoyi. The clacking sounds of her new footwear against the tiles were too prominent to ignore.
“Senior brother!” Daoyi greeted, a slight smile blossoming on her face.
Tianyi had a gaze slightly upward to see Daoyi’s eyes. He held his chin as he looked Daoyi up and down. When he first returned, the two of them were at the same height after his sudden growth spurt. But after giving the platform shoes, their eye level was not on the same level anymore.
He felt like he had shot himself in the foot. Finally after returning, at the very least he would be the same height and have the dignity as a senior brother, but because of his own hands, it was not to be. Daoyi was actually shorter than average female cultivators as well, which made his own height even more suspect.
Throwing the thought back into his mind, Tianyi asked. “Junior sister Daoyi, I am going to visit older cousin Ri, would you like to join me?”
“Brother Ri? I haven’t been able to see him lately because of stabilizing my cultivation. After the first time you helped him, in all these years he never needed your aid. Brother Ri is indeed slick in managing relations. I heard that he has more than a hundred disciples willing to come to arms should something occur.” Daoyi said, admiration in her voice.
Tianyi blinked as he thought about it. Having 100 people willing to defend was indeed good, in reverse he only had... maybe not even 5? He seldom left Jade Peak Mountain and the only relationships he had were those of higher cultivation bases. Once compared, Tianyi felt that he had to work on his interpersonal relationship more.
“What about you, junior sister? Brother Ri has more than 100 friends, I recall that you had a few good sisters you like to hang out with.” Tianyi asked.
“Indeed, but lately everyone has been busy with cultivation. So the chances of meeting them have decreased.” Daoyi said.
Xi Ri as expected sunk into a daze. But Tianyi and Daoyi didn’t leave and instead continued to eat the snacks and converse.
“Junior sister, now that you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment realm, have you decided on a weapon?” Tianyi asked. If she did not have one. He could give her many recommendations.
Daoyi as if sensing Tianyi’s intent immediately pulled out a guqin from her spatial pouch. It was of waxed blackwood. The strings appeared to be made of silver, and there was a silver vine-like design etched into it.
Daoyi hugged it as if it was the most precious thing in the world. “No need for you to worry senior brother. I’ve already selected the Nine Nether Notes, although it isn’t as powerful in the lower stages, once I reach a higher mastery I can unleash moves that even attack the soul. I love it, merging music with my weapon, it is perfect.”
Seeing his junior sister’s apparent decision, Tianyi couldn’t help but feel a bit despondent. His junior sister looked so harmless with her elfin status and that alluring face of hers. Imagine the shock her enemies would feel once she pulled out a giant ax and came slashing forward like a berserker.
“Have you decided on a martial cultivation? Dual cultivating both spiritual and martial ways has many advantages.” Tianyi asked, maybe he could give it to her as a backup weapon.
Daoyi shook her head. “Master said that I should focus on cultivating to the Core Formation realm before I cultivate a different system.”
“Oh, I see mother has it planned out.” Tianyi felt disappointed. Oh, how great it would be to have a soft and gentle looking fairy suddenly whip out a saber a foot thick and 10 feet long. The shock factor would have made it worth it, especially if she had a berserker-like style.
Maybe I should accept a disciple once I reach the Nascent Soul realm. Pick a cute-looking disciple and make her a berserker who only uses giant weaponry. Just thinking about it made Tianyi anticipate her opponent’s reaction. It’d be even better if she had a Heavenly Water Spiritual Vein. That will definitely be trouble for her in the future! Of course, I, as her master, will definitely back her up if she gets bullied.
Tianyi and Daoyi moved to a different topic while waiting for Xi Ri. However, Xi Ri woke up unexpectedly quickly and his eyes were shining.
“Senior brother, I feel as if I am extremely suited towards time and space.” Xi Ri said.
Tianyi tested Xi Ri’s comprehension of the Spring Autumn Scripture and he discovered that Xi Ri’s talent in time and space was actually only a little inferior to his own! Tianyi held his chin in his finger. Does the Xi Imperial Family have a unique talent in spacetime? Do we actually have a bloodline? Impossible, if we did, then mother would have known. I guess I can just chalk it up to good luck.
“By the way, older cousin Ri, what is that you were working on?” Tianyi asked.
“Oh that?” Xi Ri smiled a little sheepishly. “It’s a little project I’m working on. Using jade slips to deliver messages felt too cumbersome to me so I’d thought I’d create a new tool to facilitate it.
“...” Tianyi, who wasn’t close to anyone and didn’t message other people.
“Right now I’m trying to install a formation that will allow two plates to message each other back and forth by linking the two plates.” Xi Ri’s idea was good. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the abilities. “But I’m not skilled in formations, so I can only slowly experiment. The version I have now is too big and I haven’t figured out a way to link them.”
“I’m skilled in formations,” Tianyi said. As the Heartless Sword Art was based on the concept of formations and using the path to defeat your opponents, Tianyi was actually quite skilled in formations. He didn’t know how skilled, but at the very least above the average disciple who focused on studying formations at least.
But that wasn’t what made Tianyi want to help. Wouldn’t this become a texting device? Cultivators texting each other, pft! Thinking of such a thought, Tianyi’s image of cultivators couldn’t help but fracture a little.
“Why stop at messaging? Why not include voice transmission into the features?” Tianyi asked.
“What about recording a scene and then replaying it?” Daoyi who also appeared quite interested added.
Xi Ri, seeing the expectant look on the two’s face, couldn’t help but laugh helplessly. “I’m having trouble just getting the message feature to work, how can I focus on anything else?”
“I can help, I’m actually quite interested,” Tianyi said. If I can help Xi Ri, wouldn’t that mean I could finally do something transmigrator like? Besides, with the advent of the cellphone, there definitely needs to be the internet. I won’t be so bored anymore!
