The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1035 - 556: Fifth Level (Part 2)

"The violet veins. The only explanation for this is that these are signs of sword transformation after completing the spirit enhancement." Yan Xiaobao closed his eyes, beginning to recall the information he had gathered about Heavy Cloud Wood while studying plants and vegetation.

After a moment, his eyes opened, gleaming with anticipation. He made a gesture to cast a spell, then tapped the small Wooden Sword, instantly causing a flash of black light with tiny violet spots inside. Suddenly, the sword shot out from the small wooden cabin, passed through the yard, and then moved about thirty meters further to pierce into a gigantic boulder.

Without making a sound, the sword spun within the rock, piercing through it, and then flew back to Yan Xiaobao.

The sword was not damaged at all; in fact, it began to emit a piercing aura.

Yan Xiaobao's expression brightened. He toyed with the sword a bit more before applying the design again. Finally, he opened the door of the small wooden cabin and walked out, taking a deep breath. Unfortunately, as soon as he considered the competition in two months, his previous high spirits would sink.

"This isn't good enough. I'm not ready. The others in the competition are sure to be ferocious beasts. I need to do more." He gritted his teeth, thinking of the two levels of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art he had read about in the manual.

The function of brightness is heaviness. The function of heaviness is brightness.

These two levels of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art are powerful magic arts that emerge during cultivation. If both are cultivated to the peak, they might result in a holy power known as Violet Qi Cauldron Summoning.

On the South Shore of the Spirit Stream Sect, the basic techniques of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art are actually practiced by everyone. However, few cultivate the lightness of heaviness, and for the second stage of light heaviness, this occurrence is even rarer. As for those who cultivate the art to the absolute peak and can unleash the holy power of Violet Qi Cauldron Summoning, they are the rarest of all.

In fact, most who gain enlightenment of the Violet Qi Cauldron Summoning are disciples of Violet Peak.

"Lightness of heaviness... Only when I reach the stage where I can fully control objects will I be absolutely assured of surpassing the pack." Yan Xiaobao continued to ponder the description of this technique as he gazed at the small Wooden Sword.

When he fought with Xu Baocai, everyone from the Supervision Department and even the oven mistakenly thought he had achieved enlightenment of heavy lightness. Now he recalled this situation, and an idea emerged in his mind.

"People assumed I had achieved lightness because of how skillfully I controlled my small Wooden Sword. However, the real reason behind it was mainly how incredibly the sword became after my spiritual enhancement.

"The truth is, my ability to control it was actually not that incredible, definitely not the lightness of heaviness." Frowning, Yan Xiaobao casually sat cross-legged, looking at the Wooden Sword. Gradually, his eyes grew blank, and soon they were bloodshot.

A moment later, his right hand suddenly waved in the air, sending the small Wooden Sword flying out. It whistled through the air in front of him, kicking up a cloud of dust. Yan Xiaobao's frown deepened, and he flashed a spell gesture with his right hand, then pointed. However, he wasn't pointing at the sword, but rather at the gigantic rock outside the yard he had just stabbed with the sword.

The wave of his finger caused the massive stone to tremble slightly, then gradually rise about a third of a meter into the air. But then Yan Xiaobao's spiritual energy became unstable, and with a boom, it settled back down.

However, Yan Xiaobao did not feel discouraged. Quite the opposite, in fact. His eyes began to shine brightly. Fully focused, he spread his spiritual energy and waved his finger again.

Once, twice, three times...

Time flew by. Half a month vanished in the blink of an eye. Almost the entire time, Yan Xiaobao attempted to control the gigantic rock. Of course, the rock was about as large as three people standing together, with a weight of about 1,500-1,600 kilograms. Even though Yan Xiaobao was at the great circle of Qi Condensation fifth level, maneuvering such an object was no easy feat.[1]

The only reason Yan Xiaobao could do so was because his cultivation base was very refined. Anyone else at the fifth level of Qi Condensation would never be able to move the giant rock more than a few centimeters.

Yan Xiaobao worked hard for a whole month. At this point, he realized the reason controlling the giant rock was so difficult wasn't due to a lack of spiritual energy, but rather his lack of control level. Even if he still had sufficient spiritual energy, the connection would always break.

"The key is to move the strands of spiritual energy at a constant speed," he hoarsely muttered, his eyes bloodshot but shining brightly. "That's how to ensure they'll never break."

The same principle applied to mortals making noodles at home. If you pull the dough too quickly, it snaps. If you go too slowly, it's impossible to stretch them far. You need to use the right amount of force, and you can smoothly and clearly control the object.

If a cultivator wants to control an object to a degree beyond ordinary objects, they need to use the right amount of strength and maintain stability. This, of course, significantly increases the difficulty.

"Now I understand!" Yan Xiaobao thought excitedly. "The lightness of heaviness isn't just 'light' and 'heavy.' It isn't only about being able to control heavy objects as if they weren't that heavy. That's just the surface meaning. The real, deeper meaning must be related to physical objects and the way you manipulate spiritual energy!
