76 WuHen (1/2)

Meera ”Young master, Xue WuHen came looking for you a few times.”

Jiang Chen ”Hmm. Let her in next time she comes?”

Meera ”She is waiting outside.”

Jiang Chen ”Then what are you waiting for? Let her in.”

WuHen ”Brother Jiang, I need your guidance.” she asked cutely.

Jiang Chen ”Sure. Is your sister busy?”

WuHen ”She is trying to learn her secret techniques. I came to meet you, I need to ask you something.”

Jiang Chen ”Sure, sit down. We will speak.”

He then turned to Meera and asked her to provide some food and snacks for WuHen.

Jiang Chen ”Are you expecting a breakthrough to Martial Disciple realm?”

WuHen was surprised hearing this.

Jiang Chen ”It was just a wild guess. I can understand what you are going through, I will explain to you whatever I understand.”

Jiang Chen ”If I am not wrong, you and your sister cultivate using heavenly strands as a medium without using pills. Correct?”

WuHen ”Brother Jiang calls them as Heavenly Strands, sister refers them as threads.”

Jiang Chen ”It doesn't matter what we call them if we understand what we are referring to.”

Jiang Chen ”Did you practice this way from the start?”

WuHen nodded her head sincerely.

Jiang Chen ”Good. What do you want to know first?”

WuHen ”Brother Jiang, what does it feel like when you are breaking through to Martial Disciple realm?”

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment then responded ”It feels like being reborn. It starts with extreme pain as your dantian is being reformed into a completely new one. The pain would seem unbearable many even collapse because of it. But, one should try to maintain his consciousness. You should concentrate and try to learn everything about the changes. Many fail to maintain their conscious and fail. Your mental strength should be tough enough for the breakthrough.”

Jiang Chen ” I will not ask you about your Cultivation Technique. You should understand your Cultivation technique as your back of the hand. It will rest with you forever.”

WuHen ”What would be the main difference in our body after breaking through.”

Jiang Chen ”Have you ever counted no. of threads of heavenly energy are inside you?”

WuHen ”There are exactly 90000 threads inside my dantian.”

Jiang Chen ”The first change that takes place after your breakthrough is, your dantian reshapes itself based on your cultivation technique.”

Jiang Chen ”Then the formation of Attribute Seed, the attribute seed formed would be in gaseous form, you can see it and feel it but you can't really touch it. They are not solid.”

WuHen ” Where will be our attribute seed? Would it be in the center of our dantian?”

Jiang Chen ”Not exactly. For a few people, it would be in the center, for a few people it would be in corners, for a few people it would always change position.”

WuHen ”It changes its positions, Why?”

Jiang Chen ”I don't know the answer to that. It depends mostly on the cultivation technique? My cultivation technique allows my attribute seeds to move around.” his pagoda was never in a fixed place, it always moves inside his dantian.

Jiang Chen ”That is why it is a lot harder to detect my attribute seeds, so it would be very tough for anyone to harm my attribute seeds also my dantian.”

Jiang Chen ”Even few of my brothers have similar resistance.”

WuHen ”What else does this help in?”

Jiang Chen ”Would you believe if I say, I can't be crippled by harming/attacking my dantian”

WuHen ”What? Is it true?”

Jiang Chen ” Almost certain, even if my meridians are damaged, they will be healed slowly. My dantian forms a special structure, that is why it is invulnerable to many kinds of attacks.”

WuHen was shocked hearing this.

Jiang Chen ”Inside your dantian, surrounding you attribute seed, there would be a special place it is called attribute domain.”

Jiang Chen ”It is the place where your attribute strands are stored.”

WuHen”Would there be any partition between heavenly threads and attribute threads?”

Jiang Chen ”There would be an imaginary invisible partition.”

WuHen ”What will happen if it is broken?”

Jiang Chen ”You mean attribute seed?”

WuHen ”No brother Jiang about that partition.”

Jiang Chen ”I believe nothing will happen, all the threads would be influencing each other in your attribute domain. When heavenly energy enters into attribute domain, it converts itself to attribute threads under the influence of seed by time.”

WuHen ”So it is not influenced by my cultivation?”

Jiang Chen ”If there are no heavenly strands, how will attribute energy form?”

WuHen ”Brother which is more powerful? Heavenly energy or attribute energy?”

Jiang Chen ”There is no answer to that question. Heavenly energy forms the bulk while attribute energy forms the core, both are important. Assume soldiers are heavenly energy then attribute energy is commander/general.”

Jiang Chen ”We need both to function properly.”

Jiang Chen ”All martial techniques depend on your control of both attribute energy and heavenly energy.”

WuHen ” How will it affect alchemy?”

Jiang Chen ”In alchemy we use pure attribute energy.”

WuHen ” How many strands will I have when I break through to the 1st stage?”

Jiang Chen ”900000 strands of heavenly energy and 54000 strands of attribute energy.”

Jiang Chen ”They will then increase with an increase in your cultivation.”

Jiang Chen ”So, when you break through to martial disciple stage, you will form an Attribute seed/core, which will help you in the creation of your attribute energy. Also, your dantian takes form based on your cultivation technique. Your heavenly energy reserves would increase to 900000 and attribute energy reserves increase to 54000.”

Jiang Chen ”Are, you clear about everything?”
