The Qi I accumulated inside me was pretty much enough to bloat a man to the point of exploding. Still, it was rapidly and hastily circulated and organized, not into my meridians and Dantian, but all around and between the tattoos on my body.
The Primordial Serpent God has taken the initiative in harnessing the Qi and spread it all over my body transforming a majority of it into my own Qi and aiding me in my own cultivation.
My stagnant Void Stage level of cultivation that couldn't go up no matter how many how many pills and herbs I ate and consumed has already broken through the first layer and is already almost at the peak of the Void Stage second layer.
However, I cannot do this here, I'll completely destabilize the Lord of Lord's pagoda's inner Qi workings.
"Congratulations on reaching Void Stage second layer. This means that the small experiment had worked," the Blue Sun said.
"What is this supposed to do?" I asked.
"You cultivation I've never seen something like this before, you recreated your own meridians and built a new set of them that allowed you to ignore the heavenly order. Though it indeed did help you reach where you are, man makes it and no the heavens, it is incomplete," she said.
"Then, how does the Primordial Serpent God complete it?" I asked.
"She does not," the Blue Sun said, "If she did it would revert everything you did. But she adds to it. She covers where you're lacking. Though you still can consume spiritual poisons and herbs to go up in rank, you can now use the body of the Primordial Serpent God to harness the worldly Qi like every other cultivator.
Both your abilities will now complement each other as she can use your own cultivation further to improve her understanding of her own poison Dao. Not only that, she will also grant you one of her abilities, try and focus your Qi into your eyes," the Blue Sun said.
The moment I did so, the Blue Sun's figure became more... visible. I mean the robes on her were suddenly no longer there.
The Blue Sun realized it immediately and a slightly angry expression appeared on her face as she turned my head away, "Not at me you fool. If it was anyone else their head would have rolled!" she said.
"I apologize, I really didn't mean any harm," I said.
She sighed and said, "This is the Primordial Serpent Sight. She can use it to see through all illusions and fakery, into one's own body. You can use it to not only diagnose one's body but also figure out their next move, based on how their muscles and how their Qi would move. Here, she said as she showed me only her arm, what do you see?"
My eyes shivered as they focused on her arm, Qi was moving slowly at first enough for no one to realize anything, her muscles slightly contracted and I had a feeling that her fingers were about to move. And they did immediately after.
"Do you understand?" she asked.
"I can see how blood is being pumped and how Qi is being controlled to recognize the next path or next move of anyone..." I said.
"Indeed, this is basically the first stage, once you improve it further, it will almost go into the range of future sight, although not as powerful, it will make anyone who tries to fight against you feel like they're moving in slow motion. This is but one of the many secrets that the Primordial Serpent God has.
If you want to learn more, you'll need to talk to the expert in the Primordial Beings," she said.
"The Dusking Sun?" I asked.
The Blue Sun nodded, "And since he thinks favorably of you, you'll really learn a lot. I'll even notify him. For now, we'll need to continue our research. You said that you can enter the bastion?" she asked.
"I can," I said as I summoned Shen Mo's body.
"Risks? Nothing more than bent and broken steel, it poses zero risk to us what so ever. Also all the damage taken will only be suffered by the puppets. As for our souls and mind they're well protected and saved from this," I said.
"This is an incredible invention... I can see how this can renovate cultivation in its entirety," the Blue Sun said.
"I know, I already thought on how to monetize this, to make puppets fight against each other to solve issues instead of cultivators using their own lives to solve grudges, not to mention tournaments and many more, but we'll think of that once we're done with our mission," I said as I took a step forward.
"I suppose I don't need to teach you how to use your weapons?" I asked.
"I already saw it used once, that is all I need," The Blue Sun said as she moved her puppet alongside me with incredible grace.
Tao Yang wasn't any slower as she was moving with us looking back and forward.
"This is... fun," she said.
"You haven't seen the fun part yet," I smiled.
"There is more?" The Blue Sun asked.
"Yes, say, Status Screen," (hehe I couldn't help it)
The Blue Sun and Tao Yang both did so. And a blue screen appeared in front of their eyes.
[Status Screen] .net
Vanguard Puppet.
Current Health: 100%
Current Shield: 100%
Right Arm weapon Durability 96%
Left Arm Shield Durability 99%
Current Energy: 94%
"Whoa, what is this?" asked the Blue Sun.
"That will help you keep track of the damage that occurred on your puppet and how your weapons are faring, the reason I asked you to stockpile on weapons from the nonfunctional puppets is so that you can use whatever is damaged as either spare parts, ammunition or as material to recover energy. Now, let's keep going! For the Legion!"
"What Legion?" the Blue Sun asked.
"Hah, don't worry about it, I just felt like saying that, let's go now!"
