Chapter 11: Su Tian Ji
After the old beggar had released a stream of spirit power, he did not hesitate and immediately controlled it to directly enter a spot that was 3 inches below Su Yu's navel.
”How can it be!!!”
Just after the old beggar's spirit power had entered Su Yu's body, the old beggar's expression instantly turned to astonishment.
Through the feedback from his spirit power, he saw an ocean within Su Yu's body.
The glittering golden body of the ocean covered by lingering steam was boundless.
”This is…… Can this be the limitless sea of qi from the legend?” The old beggar could no longer remain calm and collected; there were even traces of excitement in his eyes.
He pulled Su Yu up and yelled, ”Boy, do you know that the sea of qi in your body had never appeared for almost a thousand years except for that time a thousand years ago when someone also had that limitless sea of qi. If it wasn't for the very long gap in time, I would have thought that you are that person's descendant!”
The words said by the old beggar further aroused Su Yu's suspicion.
”Limitless sea of qi? What's that? I have only heard of common sea of qi; ordinary sea of qi; spiritual sea of qi; worldly sea of qi; and heavenly sea of qi, but I have never heard of the limitless sea of qi you just spoke of?” Su Yu asked, feeling puzzled.
The old beggar contemptuously waved his hand and said, ”Those 5 rankings of the sea of qi were what most cultivators knew, but they would never think that there is still another type of sea of qi above the heavenly sea of qi, and that is the limitless sea of qi. Its sea is endless and is golden in color. Its appearance is extremely rare. Haven't I told you yet? The previous time it had appeared was a thousand years ago!”
After carefully pondering over the old beggar's words, Su Yu soon came across some uncertain questions, so he asked, ”Then, you mean that I possess the apt.i.tude to cultivate?”
Upon hearing Su Yu's question, the old beggar rolled his eyes and said, ”Isn't this question of yours downright nonsense? If even the person with the limitless sea of qi cannot cultivate, then no one would be able to cultivate in this Endless Continent.”
After saying that, the old beggar began to carefully size up Su Yu.
As he looked at Su Yu, the old beggar saw an unpolished gem.
Now, he was beginning to have some expectation on how far Su Yu, who possessed the limitless sea of qi, could go?
Su Yu's expression immediately turned to joy upon hearing the old beggar's reply.
'I really have the apt.i.tude to cultivate! I can cultivate!'
At this moment, these two sentences kept repeating in his mind. This was the very first good news he received ever since he had come into this world.
He could cultivate, so there was hope for him to obtain that formidable power.
'G.o.d! Since you have allowed me to come into this world and have also given me the best apt.i.tude to cultivate, how can I continue to live an ordinary life?'
'I must obtain that formidable power and never suffer under people's humiliation! I will uncover the mystery of this body! Likewise, I shall uncover the mystery of the picture of the giant bronze cauldron on my chest! Even more so, I must return!!!'
Thinking till here, Su Yu's gaze turned resolute as he clenched his fist.
As the old beggar watched Su Yu, he seemed to have felt Su Yu's change, and the meaning behind his gaze changed further.
”It seems like today, my, Su Tian Ji's, fate has been set ah!” The old beggar sighed in his heart.
”What's your name?” The old beggar asked Su Yu.
Ever since that time when he had followed the old beggar, this was the first time the old beggar asked for his name.
”Good! Su Yu, although you have the limitless sea of qi—this kind of exceptionally good apt.i.tude, you must be diligent in your cultivation and never fear hards.h.i.+ps. Like this, you would then be able to walk on the only road to obtain formidable power. According to the Endless Continent's 10,000 years of history, from the past until now, how many proud sons of heaven in their generations became complacent because of their exceptionally good apt.i.tude in cultivation, so they neglected their own cultivation, and in the end, they died, letting down everyone! I hope you will understand this point!” The old beggar spoke while looking at Su Yu with an extremely solemn expression.
”Junior will keep senior's teaching in mind!” Su Yu gratefully replied.
The old beggar need not mention it because he himself also understood this point.
Among the people who had transmigrated before, he had already been orphaned at a very young age, so his mentality and att.i.tude became more mature compared to those who were the same age as him. Arrogance and conceit, these kinds of things would never appear in him.
”Very good,” the old beggar nodded his head in satisfaction. He then said, ”Continuing, other than yourself, you must never tell others about the fact that you possess the limitless sea of qi, because this is related to your life. Remember, although you possess the limitless sea of qi, you still need time to grow. At your current level wherein you have yet to grow, you're still an ant —an insignificant ant, compared to the enormous cultivation world in the Endless Continent. If those big shots wanted to kill you, it would be as simple as pinching an ant. You must bear this point in mind!”
Su Yu once again nodded his head and sincerely responded, ”Many thanks for senior's teaching!”
The old beggar was satisfied with Su Yu's att.i.tude; neither was he conceited nor rash—a good seedling.
”Before, didn't you want me to guide you in cultivation? Very well, I will now teach you, so listen carefully!” the old beggar spoke with indifference.
”All the cultivators in the Endless Continent understand a principle. During cultivation, it isn't only to cultivate one's own body but more of a type of qi. What kind of qi? It's the heaven and earth spiritual qi! Putting it more accurately, cultivation allows one's body to have spiritual qi. This is so that every meridians in our body will have spiritual qi.”
