Chapter 56: New discovery, weapon tempering arts

Stepping into the Qi master realm was like a new world to Long Tao. His abilities changed drastically. It was as the keeper has said that when one steps into the Qi master realm, his body changes according to the QI the practitioner has cultivated. The first improvement to body was the achievement of the omni-elemental body type. This was a body type that one could gain upon cultivating the crimson world scripture's omni-element Qi. The crimson lords were proficient practitioners of all elements and hence the body type one could gain was something that was compatible to perfectness for all elements.

The next was the hell-Heaven body that Long Tao achieved due to cultivation of the mix Hell-Heaven Qi. Long Tao didn't know of the body types that one could achieve when cultivating hell or heaven Qi. And he was even more of an exception to generality keeping in mind that he cultivated both these types of Qi. He might be the first practitioner to have such a body type. Long Tao utilised his Qi flow and he could see that the physical buff given by the body type was quite big. Also, after entering the Qi master realm Long Tao was sure that his Qi flow and manipulation has gone to a whole new level.

The third Qi ocean didn't have a character, and for Long Tao this was the primary usage one. Long Tao had not faced any life crisis against any human to use the other two types of Qi and he wanted to continue doing that until the extent he can. He only needed to use the other two types of QI when necessary. Long Tao didn't want to draw any attention to himself. To be bale to freely use all types of Qi, Long Tao first wanted to raise his cultivation to the Qi King level.

The next new thing was Long Tao's Bloodline. Every time he raised a realm, his bloodline changes and gave him new type of abilities. A new type of mantra originated in Long Tao's mind." Blood drain" was the name of the ability. It allowed Long Tao to soak and absorb the blood essence of his enemies. Blood essence was one of the life essences of a practitioner and losing even a small amount of it affected the practitioner highly. This ability can be use against all living things and even near dead ones. Long Tao could use the ability to drain blood from his human opponents. This was a secret weapon of huge advantage. Long Tao was really surprised over the new ability. He needed to practice it to be proficient. This blood drain ability also helped to heal up faster against an opponent. He could suck their blood essence and convert it into his own power. A wild range of thoughts began to run across Long Tao's mind. If he could raise the efficiency to a particular level, wouldn't he be invincible in Warfield. Long Tao couldn't find it to much use in one on one fight with an opponent of higher realm, but or a battle field where blood flows like water, he had an unlimited amount of energy to soak with this ability. He needed to polish the execution of it fast. This is going to be huge buff.

The next on the line was the gain from the 3 scriptures:

Hell-solider art, the Qi master level cultivation technique was presented by the Hell Forge manual. Hell-solider art also had 12 levels in it and was the art for Qi master realm, like Hell-spawn was for Qi child realm. Long Tao still decided to practice the 12 forges of death along with the revolution art. But the consumption of Hell Qi was going to be something un-precedented. Hence, he needed to find a way to upgrade the Qi absorption ability of the formation. Another thing he got after the upgrade was the "Hell Wings". This was a art that one could practice with the help of the Hell's Qi. It was a movement art and a art of levitation too. Long Tao was surprised that these were the only two things available, but of course he also had the Weapon Tempering formula that he hadn't practice until now. He had to start practicing it soon.

The next set came from the Beast God manual. "Beastification". It helped the practitioner to practice and obtain the body type of a beast. This enabled the practitioner to practice beast arts. Long Tao was surprised by this, but it was another addition to his arsenal too.

The Omnipotent Soul formula, gave a new set of art called the Soul search. It enabled one to peek and control another person's soul, given they could overpower it. Currently Long Tao had a soul manifestation art and the heavenly pestle formula, but this was great addition to. This would help Long Tao obtain important information from the enemies. The Heavenly pestle formula was still the core soul cultivation art. Also Every time he broke through he would be able to form a new avatar as per the Origin Avatar art. Long Tao was eagerly waiting for it. He soon enough started the process of avatar creation and soon enough another avatar of Long Tao was standing Infront of him/. He was sent to train and raise his cultivation to QI master soon. This was the eleventh avatar of Long Tao and added too his Qi reserve. Long Tao was now extremely powerful. If one added the progress of strength after breaking Through and the avatar into count, Long Tao didn't fear a squadron leader now. Squadron Leader was a Qi master high rank senior official. It was the third ranking position in the north-eastern military and Long Tao was already as powerful as that. But Long Tao didn't expose his strength. He wanted to improve his cultivation to peak Mid-level Qi master before stirring a complete massacre of his enemies even within the camp. After all, once he reached peak Qi master, he was sure that he would be able to fight with Qi master realm practitioner. Only when he had that kind of power could he move freely in the army camp. Long Tao no longer cared about lieutenants or Wing commanders. He was now busy in cultivating the long-awaited sutra. Weapon Tempering art.

The Weapon Tempering art was a miraculous art that could only be practiced once a practitioner opens up his acupoints. The key theory behind the practice of this art is to create weapons with concentrated Qi and blood essence of the practitioner and store them in their acupoints. This reformed the acupoints and also strengthened it. They reinforce the power of the acupoints and constantly get tempered when a practitioner practices Qi circulation. The Weapon draw Qi and blood essence and is always in a constant state of refining and strengthening. It could eb said that, stronger the practitioner, stronger will be the weapons. Also, these were the life weapons of the practitioner and had an innate link with him/her. This gave it not only many magical properties, but also the weapon is also able to showcase any bloodline power if the practitioner had any. Also, these weapons were made of pure energy and were indestructible until the practitioner is alive. These also helps in enhancing the Qi capacity of the body and also densify the Qi. It is because eteh basic requirement of creating a weapon using the blood essence and QI is to be at the advance level intent of 1st stage of that weapon. Long Tao was glad he waited till the break-through to the Qi master realm. Also due to the constant refinement of the Qi by these life weapons, even the normal Qi starts to acquire the property of intents in them. Long Tao already understood what that meant. He was never so much excited about practicing an auxiliary art.

Long Tao sat down and started practicing the art. The first step was to densify and fill up the acupoint with Qi. Then came the moulding part, where you give it a shape. Then was the materialisation part, which requires the infusing of Blood essence of the practitioner. The last part included the completion which involved the infusion of Intent in to the weapons. The first few steps were easy. Long Tao soon achieved them in his first acupoint. The part which was difficult started on the third step. The third step was a very difficult part as one had to spent tremendous amount of blood essence to materialize the sword. It was similar to the creation of an avatar. Long Tao had to spend huge amount of blood essence and time. Finally, the sword took shape and materialized. It had multiple glows due to the three different kind of Qi in Long Tao's body. The final part was now upon Long Tao. Infusing the intent into the materialized sword.

An intent was the visualization of the depth of understanding of a cultivator towards a particular weapon. Long Tao's intent were already in the materialization state, which started with the entry into advance realm of 1st stage. He started the infusion process. He first had to realize the intent to, flow with his Qi and slowly get infused into the sword. The process was to be continued until The sword radiated autonomous intent by its own mean, upon which it would have reached the highest realm. That would be the perfection stage of the sword creation.

Long Tao continued the process and finally a mult6icolour sword appeared before him. The real sword manifesting itself was a view to be held for. Long Tao as delighted on his first productive outcome of the Weapon Tempering art.
