283 WAGING A WAR

“You just need to test the theory out. The fact that the avatar art could connect both the bodies to have the same laws and cultivation base is already proven right before our eyes. 9 more avatars remain. If the calculation regarding the Qi King level is correct then, those 9 breakthroughs should be enough to propel you to QI King Peak.”

“My thoughts exactly.” Long Tao confirmed.

“What about the other two arts. Did you gain anything from the beats god scripture this time?”

“A new art seems to have emerged. But it is way off the level of what we expected.” A shocking new development sudden emerged from the beast god scriptures.

“What is it?” The Keeper was anxious to know the secret. The subsequent breakthrough of 9 avatars was enough to propel Long Tao’s cultivation in both crimson world scripture and normal energy arts to Qi Emperor level. What remained was the Hell-Forger art and the Beast god scriptures.

The best god scripture hadn’t presented any sort of art in the Qi general level, but something generated out of the beast scripture this time.

“Dragon battle body. This is the name of the art which suddenly emerged out of the beast-god scripture.”.

The Dragon battle body was quite different from the regular blood arts which generally originated from the Beast God scripture. Until now it only provided the methods to increase the level of his bloodline, but Dragon Battle body was art was a body art.

“Have you heard of this art?” Li Meng knew that the Keeper was still hiding a lot of stuff from him.

.....

“Dragon Battle body is the base body cultivation art of the Dragon kind. Although it is a fairly insignificant art among the ones possessed by the Dragons, it still requires one to have a bloodline comparable to an infant green dragon to practice.”

“Are you suggesting that after all the tempering, the blood in my body is only comparable to an infant Dragon?”

“I am saying that the blood in your body is only comparable to the blood quality of an infant of the lowest kind of Dragon race.” The Keeper’s word was like a bucket of ice water that fell on Li Meng’s had.

“The lowest of Dragon race. Could you describe the ranks within the Dragon race?” Li Meng was anxious to know about this. Before this, he thought that he was invincible with the set of arts he possessed, but the revelation just now made him understand how insignificant he truly was.

“The dragon race is way more powerful than you could understand. The world we are currently in is just too small for you to be aware of the whole thing. Dragons are mythical creatures who have been ruling the cultivation world for a very long time. What you need to understand is that even the weakest of Dragon kind is way more powerful than a normal human QI cultivator.”

“The Dragon species is not only divided within the pure-blooded ones but there are also many sub-division and branches of impure blood-lines present with the lineage of Dragons.”

“The art you are practising is something which belongs to pure-blooded lines of Dragons. Although it is an art practised by the lowest-ranked Green Dragons, it is still something which could be practised by pure-Dragons only. The blood energy required is quite immense, and I guess that the art you practised before was forging your blood for this moment.”

“Even the Crimson Lords were not powerful enough to forcefully practice the Dragon Battle body. By the time they did reach the required level of Blood-essence, they found a fundamental problem with this art. The art was specifically designed for Beast with the power of Dragons, hence normally bloodlines are just not compatible.”

“The Beast god art must have forged your blood to that level with it being compatible with the art itself. Once you do manage to practice the art, your blood itself will start changing in characteristics and you are going to inherit the traits of Dragons. If you do manage to cultivate it to perfection, you might just open a whole new avenue for your future martial path.”

Long Tao managed to grasp the essence of what the Keeper was indicating. It would be a huge boost to his strength if he could practice the Dragon Battle Body. He started to go through the details of the art. The initial step was similar to the stance of Dragon which Long Tao used to cultivate in the beginning.

The stance of the Dragon allowed one to absorb the world energy and convert it into the Dragon essence which was required to practice the Dragon Battle body. The minimum requirement of being able to practice the Dragon Battle Body was to be able to create a strand of Dragon essences.

“The art is quite difficult. I need to practice Dragon stance for a long period to collect just a tiny strand of Dragon essence. It is going to take a lot of time. Since I have practised the Dragon stance for such a long time, wouldn’t I have collected some Dragon essence until now?”

“Dragon essence essentially require a very strong body to hold itself. Although you did practice the art, your body was simply not able to hold the essence. Now that you and some of your avatars have stepped into the QI King level, your body is refined until the level that it could hold the essence.”

“As per the long time you are worried about, it would have if you were still in foundation period. You are in Qi King level as of now. You could easily gather Dragon essence, especially with the set of laws that you have managed to practice until now.” The Keeper reminded.

“You need to understand that the Dragon Battle Body is ultimately a body refining art. You just connected with two ultimate Heavenly laws of Body and even managed to mutate them. I would say that you could easily practice it and even reach the very peak of the arts.”

Long Tao pondered over this idea and it made sense. The only way to find out was to start cultivating it and try to collect Dragon essence. After going through the details, one of the avatars began to practice the Dragon stance. It was the base for the art they were about to execute.

After a whole day of practising, he finally managed to sense a new kind of energy within his body. When the avatar finally managed to tap the gathered energy, an immediate burst of energy occurred within his body, almost damaging his meridians. If it weren’t for the level of body refining, he was on, this burst would have crippled him.

Long Tao was shocked.

“This is what happens when you carelessly tread into uncharted territory boy. The energy you collected is Dragon essence. The amount of power contained within it is far more powerful than you could imagine. You need a proper art to regulate the energy, and that is where Dragon Battle body comes into play.” The Keeper explained.

“Just concentrate on collecting enough Dragon essence for now. You would be able to use it once you began to utilize the art.”

As the avatar was immersed in the training, a new situation had revealed itself in the world outside.

The Taiwan mountains-

“Are you positively certain that every power within the city has gathered manpower to hunt bandits?” Li Meng was fairly surprised by this situation.

The friction within the various power was too huge. What made them band together?

“There was an incident some time ago within the city limits. Top cultivators from every single power within the city were assassinated and messages of provocation left at the site. The independent cultivator association was the one who sends the request for teaming up.”

“No matter what sort of rivalry they had in between them, the incident changed the scenario. The powers didn’t have any other choice than to take revenge on the bandits to gain back the lost face. The invitation provided the perfect opportunity for them to act, and they took it.”

“Numerous teams of Qi Kings led by Advance experts have already begun to eliminate the groups present within the borders and are making their way to here.”

The situation was fair. An attack of killing top experts was not something that could be easily carried out. There had to something going on in the background. Li Meng had a very bad premonition about the situation. He barely had half a month left before he had to report to his senior brother.

A conspiracy was underway and Li Meng decided to prepare for it.

“They have declared war on every single Bandit group within the eastern side. It wouldn’t be long before the bandit groups present start to pit together. Although our location is well hidden, we do need to get out to collect supplies. We can’t let them take control over this region.”

Li Meng began to line up the top experts within the group. It was time to carry out some covert operations.
