Chapter 70: Divine Breath
Sages training speed eventually leveled out. A full cycle of opening a Qi Pore was cut down to merely an hour. With this improvement, he finally completed opening the required number of Qi Pores within a couple months. Once the speed leveled out after the first month, Sage started to diversify his training regimen. He had to practice Divine Breath, Ancestral Serpent Techniques, study Seals, create Formation Plates, and finally breed Insects. That Seal Masters cave had been there for who knows how long so he didnt really have any time constraints. On the other hand, he didnt want to waste any time. He set himself a timeframe of one year. That should be more than enough time to complete all of his preparations. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
The weapons and clothing hed gained in the Soul Taming Abode could be studied at any time. In fact, hed need the help of a higher ranked blacksmith and tailor to help disassemble them without causing damage so he decided to leave that off for later. There was a similar problem with the Golden Egg, just like that Armored Ghost Hand in his storage ring, the Dawn Light Pillar, and some other treasures; he wasnt sure how to use them at the moment so he merely saved them for later. He didnt want to rush into something without the correct knowledge. If he used up or damaged one of these treasures and later on found out their proper use hed be left with only regret. Better to hold onto them and save them for the right time. He had an idea how to use the Golden Egg, but right now his focus was on gaining power before heading back out to the Seal Masters cave. The experimentation could be saved for later.
Sage set up a schedule and spent a few hours per day on each task. Hed wake up and feed the insects, then spend the morning training Divine Breath and the Serpents techniques. In the afternoon hed head to a Smithy and forge Formation Plates. In the evening hed head to the Million Skill Library and study all the foundational knowledge on Seals. At night hed check up on the Insects and do some breeding while reviewing the knowledge hed collected in the Memory Spheres from the Soul Taming Abodes library. He followed this schedule for all but a couple days of the week when he was obligated to perform some duties for the sect or sell some of the products from his Insects. He didnt want to neglect his earning of contribution points, since he still needed to purchase materials for his studies and training. He might also need techniques from the Library or training time in the Sunfire Pagoda soon so building up a big reserve of points was never a bad idea.
Golden Mantis was the closest thing to one hed tried in the past, but it wasnt exactly Body Hardening as it was using a Qi Technique to mimic body hardening and a matching martial art. The aura of a Golden Mantis formed around the body, enhancing strength, speed, and toughness. It also included training in hand to hand maneuvers that matched up well with the Golden Aura that could be formed into Mantis like forearms and claws. At the time Sage had thought it was a powerful and impressive art that could do anything. Combined with the Mantis Heart Manual as a Qi Cultivation technique to give him courage and protect from poisons, it seemed like he could be invincible if he just trained enough. Years later, Sage realized how weak the techniques actually were. He saw then that they were perfect for training footsoldiers. Those two techniques plus the Insect Immortal Index would easily create an army of men and mantis that were quite well rounded. Just three techniques and a pretty well rounded pair of combatants would be ready. My branch family really was just a training yard for cannon fodder.
With such a thought, Sage was somewhat sad. Then again, he was quite curious about the Ancestral graves. If they were really just an expendable bunch of cannon fodder, why would the Ancestral graves be so expansive and contain such powerful figures? What exactly was going on there in his hometown?
His mind had wandered, but he thought back to his training and was both excited and relieved to have completed the first stage of dreadful training for Divine Breath. The first stage consisted of training to withstand heat, cold, and wind pressure. Hed had to withstand boiling water and sub-zero salt water flooding his lungs and swishing around in his mouth. If it werent for the qi protecting his tongue he was sure every last tastebud would have been melted away by now. The reason he felt dreadful was that stage two consisted of training with poisons and contaminants. Instead of just shielding his lungs, the qi would have to be controlled to act like a filter. He would have to breath in poison mist and smoke clouds till they didnt affect him in the least.
