After sending off his father, Liu Guanfeng returned to bed, recalling the sensations he had just experienced. He sat cross-legged on the bed, focusing his mind, and soon those feelings returned, leaving his body in indescribable comfort.
He didn't know how long it had been when a voice from within his mind, In the Sea, spoke up:
"Master, there is someone outside."
Liu Guanfeng opened his eyes. "Someone? Who is it? Is it a servant from the household?"
"It doesn't seem like it. I can't sense that person's presence among the household staff today, and they give off a very frightening aura. I can't handle them."
At that moment, there was a knock at the door, "Bang~ Bang~ Bang."
Liu Guanfeng got out of bed and walked to the door. "Who is it?"
An aged voice replied from outside, "Just open the door. I mean you no harm. If I wanted to enter your home, you wouldn't be able to stop me."
Liu Guanfeng opened the door to see an elderly man standing outside, appearing to be in his sixties with kind eyes. The man wore a blue long robe and exuded an air of otherworldliness. "May I ask who you are, elder?"
"Young one, do you really intend to speak with an old man through the door?" The elder responded with a question instead.
"Apologies, elder. I forgot; please come in." Liu Guanfeng stepped aside to let him in.
The elder entered Liu Guanfeng's room and noticed the small creature on the floor. He smiled and said, "Little Guy is quite impressive; you sensed me as soon as I walked in. Not bad at all. This little thing seems to have some special qualities."
Liu Guanfeng walked over and poured a cup of tea from the table for the elder.
"Please enjoy your tea, elder." Liu Guanfeng then sat down across from him.
"May I ask who you are and why you have come to my room at this late hour?"
"My young friend, there's no need to rush. I'm very close to you now; don't you feel anything in your body?"
Hearing the old man's question, Liu Guanfeng suddenly felt something moving in his abdomen. He looked up in surprise at the old man across from him.
"What's going on, elder?"
The old man waved his hand over Liu Guanfeng's abdomen, and a small blue dragon over a meter long burst forth from it. The dragon circled above Liu Guanfeng and the old man before landing on the ground and transforming into a woman dressed in a black cloak. Startled, Liu Guanfeng exclaimed, "Oh my God!" and stood up.
The woman gently bowed to the old man and then spoke, "Master, my mission has been completed."
The old man nodded at her. "You did well. Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Guanfeng suddenly remembered that this woman was the one who had brought him here.
That day, Liu Xin had been drinking with a few friends and returned home late. While passing a small hill, Liu Xin encountered a witch-like figure. The witch told Liu Xin that she had been waiting for him there for nearly a thousand years.
Liu Xin asked her why she was waiting for him. The witch explained that she had been there for almost a thousand years and that only Liu Xin could see her, which meant he was the person she had been waiting for. She also mentioned needing Liu Xin's help, prompting him to ask what she needed.
The witch produced a crystal ball and told Liu Xin to touch it, saying he would understand after doing so. However, just as Liu Xin's hand was about to reach the crystal ball, the witch waved her hand, causing his right middle finger to be cut. Liu Xin quickly withdrew his hand, but a drop of blood fell from the cut and landed on the crystal ball. The ball changed from white to red.
The crystal ball slowly rose and floated toward Liu Xin, circling around him a few times before suddenly drilling into his abdomen. Just as Liu Xin thought it was all a dream, a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree, which then fell toward his forehead.
After realizing what had happened, Liu Guanfeng pointed at the woman in black across from him. "It's you! You brought me here!"
The woman in black looked at Liu Guanfeng with an expression of shame. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to."
Liu Guanfeng turned to look at the old man again. "She just called you 'master' and said something about completing a mission. Is all of this your arrangement?" At that moment, Liu Guanfeng's gaze could be described as murderous.
The old man seemed unfazed by Liu Guanfeng's deadly glare and calmly addressed the woman in black. "You did very well; now go fulfill your final mission." With that, he waved his hand at Liu Guanfeng, and the woman transformed back into the blue dragon and flew into Liu Guanfeng's body, causing him to step back in fear.
"What on earth is going on? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?" Liu Guanfeng stared expressionlessly at the old man across from him.
"Young friend, please do not be angry. I will explain everything to you in detail. Please have a seat," the old man said, gesturing to a chair beside him.
Liu Guanfeng calmed himself and slowly sat down, quietly watching the old man across from him.
The old man looked at Liu Guanfeng calmly. "We come from the same place. I started looking for you when you arrived in this world, but at that time, I could only sense a general direction.
It wasn't until you used the power of the Dragon Pearl today that I was able to pinpoint your exact location, so I came here."
"Who are you? Did you bring me here without my consent?" Liu Guanfeng asked angrily, considering that his elderly mother was still waiting for him to return home.
"I will tell you now; my name is Qinglong. You should know about the Four Sacred Beasts, right? I am one of them. The reason we brought you here is that we need your help," the old man said with a smile.
"Help? What kind of help?" Liu Guanfeng replied irritably.
"We, the Four Sacred Beasts, are currently all trapped in this world. We accidentally crossed over and ended up here. When we arrived, we wanted to go back home to our own land of Huaxia.
So we four would like to ask for your help to return home. I wonder if you would agree to assist us."
"If the Four Sacred Beasts can't do it, how can I help you?" Liu Guanfeng felt calmer after hearing Qinglong's words since his goal was also to return home.
Qinglong sighed. "It's not that we can't do it; it's that we are unable to. After we four crossed over into this world, we were all injured, and it seems this world has some restrictions that limit our strength to about four levels—equivalent to a Divine-Level Expert in this world.
Moreover, when we arrived, the guardian of this world found us and warned us not to act against it or disrupt the balance of this world. If we disobeyed, he would erase us from existence.
We once asked the guardian how we could return to our own world, and he told us how to go back.
However, we cannot act ourselves, so we need someone to help us, and you are the one who will help us return home."
"Then how can we go back?" Liu Guanfeng asked eagerly.
The Azure Dragon shook his head. "Your current strength is too weak. When your strength is sufficient, I will tell you how to return home."
Hearing the Azure Dragon say he was too weak, Liu Guanfeng's anger flared up again. "I have already been told that I cannot cultivate. Right now, I am just a waste. How can I cultivate? If my strength is too weak, I will always be like this." Liu Guanfeng became increasingly agitated.
Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Your meridians as a Huaxia person are naturally sentenced to death here because the cultivation methods of the people here are not systematic enough. The people here can naturally open more than two meridians; only those who have opened two meridians are suitable for cultivation.
Then, through the cultivation of these two meridians, they gradually open the other twenty-four meridians. Once all twenty-four meridians are opened, one becomes an Advanced Knight.
However, our Huaxia people's meridians are not open, but we can open them through techniques. Moreover, the techniques we cultivate to open the meridians are much easier than those for the Knights of the Sixth Continent."
"But my attribute is Five Elements Balance. If I can't absorb the balance attribute during cultivation, I will go into a frenzy," Liu Guanfeng threw out his last doubt.
"This is even simpler. I will pass you a set of techniques shortly; as long as you learn this set of techniques, absorbing Five Element Attributes will be much easier. Furthermore, this set of techniques can only be cultivated by those with the Five Elements Balance attribute. That is also why you were chosen by my Dragon Pearl.
And don't you realize that your body is much better than others of your age? This is all thanks to the Dragon Pearl inside you. When you arrived in this world, the Dragon Pearl began to transform your body. So now, practicing the techniques I teach you will yield twice the result with half the effort."
After saying this, the Azure Dragon took a sip of tea and said to Liu Guanfeng again, "So, little friend, do you want to become my disciple?"
"Become a disciple? Why should I? You brought me here; if you don't teach me martial arts, I can't help you," Liu Guanfeng played the rogue.
"You little rascal! Even if I brought you here, wouldn't it be an honor for you to take me, a dignified Four Sacred Beasts master, as your teacher?" The Azure Dragon said with a serious face.
"Fine, I'll become your disciple. Since I've already come here, I might as well settle in. Besides, becoming a disciple of the Four Sacred Beasts won't treat me unfairly. If I want to survive in the Sixth Continent, this is also the only and most convenient method."
Thinking of this, Liu Guanfeng respectfully knelt before the Azure Dragon and bowed three times while saying, "Disciple pays respects to Master." Then he picked up a cup of tea and handed it over. "Master, please enjoy some tea."
The Azure Dragon smiled and nodded. "Good~ Good! From today on, you are my disciple of the Four Sacred Beasts. I am your Master; Bai Hu is your Second Master; Xuan Wu is your Third Master; Zhu Que is your Fourth Master. When you meet them someday, just pay your respects properly."
"Master, shouldn't you give your disciple a greeting gift since it's our first meeting?" Liu Guanfeng pretended to be shy as he rubbed his hands together.
"Enough with the pretense. I know your little tricks. Since it's our first meeting, I can't be too stingy. Of course, I've prepared a gift for you. Look." After saying this, Azure Dragon Master produced a book from nowhere, the characters on it were unfamiliar to Liu Guanfeng.
"Master, I don't recognize these characters."
"As a Chinese person, you don't recognize these characters? I wonder what you did before."
"No, Master. The characters we used back then were simplified, and this book seems to be in Small Seal Script."
"Alright, come here." After saying that, he placed his hand on Liu Guanfeng's forehead and began to read the text to him one by one.
The name of this book is "Chaos Initial Skill," which was comprehended by Pangu the Great before the chaos began. After Pangu separated heaven and earth, part of the Chaos Power was divided into the Five Element Attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The other part remained between heaven and earth, becoming the foundation for immortals' cultivation.
Cultivators absorb the Chaos Power from between heaven and earth to eventually become immortals. The unbroken Chaos Power is non-renewable and limited in quantity, so in the end, no one could cultivate anymore.
The "Chaos Initial Skill" allows for the mutual transformation of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Chaos Power.
After a while, Azure Dragon Master removed his hand from Liu Guanfeng's forehead. He felt as if there were new memories added to his mind; he organized his thoughts and found a mantra for "Chaos Initial Skill."
"Chaos Initial Skill" is divided into nine levels: First Level - Chaos Fusion; Second Level - Chaos Initial Formation; Third Level - Chaos Separation; Fourth Level - Chaos Decomposition; Fifth Level - Chaos Five Elements; Sixth Level - Chaos Devouring; Seventh Level - Chaos Bodyguard; Eighth Level - Unity of Chaos; Ninth Level - Chaos Heaven and Earth.
"You've learned the mantra. Now I will assist you. Sit properly on the bed so I can help you cultivate the first level of this skill. Pay attention to the flow of internal energy in your meridians."
Liu Guanfeng sat cross-legged on the bed with his palms facing upward. Azure Dragon Master placed his hands on Liu Guanfeng's back. Liu Guanfeng felt a force moving through his body from his Dantian and then stopping at a certain point.
"Now I'll help you open the first meridian." "Now for the second meridian." "This is the third meridian."
Liu Guanfeng felt three lines moving within him, converging in his Dantian before splitting into three lines again. This process repeated ten times. Afterward, Azure Dragon Master removed his hands from Liu Guanfeng's body, and Liu Guanfeng slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng felt more energetic than ever before. It was already late at night, but he had not the slightest hint of drowsiness.
Azure Dragon Master got out of bed after finishing his meditation and said to Liu Guanfeng, "I have a proposal for you. I wonder if you would be willing to accept it?"
"Master, please go ahead."
"I would like you to come back with me to the Four Sacred Mountains. Would you be willing?"
"Master, I never received my father's love in the past. Now that I have a father, I want to spend more time fulfilling my filial duties in front of my parents.
When I arrived in Knight World 6, my old mother was still at home. I miss her very much. I already feel guilty towards my mother in that world, and I do not want to leave any regrets in this world.
Moreover, I am still young. If I leave with you now, I fear my mother and father will worry. Also, my elder brother and Second Brother are both away and can hardly return home even once a year. If I leave now, it would leave my parents feeling quite empty. I would like to wait until I grow up a bit more before going with you to the Four Sacred Mountains to meet the other masters, if that is alright?"
"That's fine. It's rare for you to have such filial piety. You can stay here for a few more years. Then let me give you a small gift." After saying this, Azure Dragon Master produced five crystal-like Stones from somewhere, emanating waves of energy.
"Master, what are these?" Liu Guanfeng asked with some confusion. Could this be pocket money from his master? These Stones might sell for quite a bit.
"These five are Fifth-Stage Magic Cores, representing Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Attributes. I will set up a Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array in your room.
This Spirit Gathering Array can balance and absorb the surrounding Five Element Attributes into the formation, ensuring that your cultivation does not suffer from elemental imbalance. Moreover, the elemental density within this Spirit Gathering Array is ten times that of the outside world, making your cultivation much more efficient.
Additionally, this Five Elements Array serves as a defensive formation; if any unexpected danger arises, as long as you hide within this array, even an Advanced Knight would not be able to break through in a short time."
