Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 44: 44. Control



"Come in." The voice of the grand elder was heard from inside.

"Thank you for your response." Yang Wudi said that and went inside.

"State the purpose of your visit." Yang Liwei asked without any formalities.

"Grand elder, I want to learn from you. You can teach me anything, and I will do as you say." Yang Wudi did not mind the tone of the grand elder and politely asked.

Yang Liwei raised his eyebrows in surprise; he didn\'t expect that Yang Wudi would come to him and ask in such a polite manner. He still replied to his question.

"Okay, I can train you. But you need to face a lot of hardships. I won\'t consider your status or your father\'s status, and you need to follow all my orders without questioning a bit."

"I will follow your order without any questions," Yang Wudi replied without hesitation.

"Okay, I hope you will not regret your decision. For the first thing, tell me about your weakness." Yang Liwei questioned the holy son.

"I depend on my variant physique very much." Yang Wudi replied after thinking for a few moments.

"Yeah, it is correct. But that is only one of the weaknesses. You had too much pride; it is your other weakness." The grand elder replied and continued, "Having too much pride is easy to manipulate, so lower your pride and arrogance. Don\'t always think about your face value for every action; a perfect leader will only focus on results, not the process."

"But it will reduce our reputation among the public." Yang Wudi expressed his view.

"It is here; you are making a mistake. We don\'t need the opinions of mortals for the survival of the sect. Our sect only needs a strong cultivator like your father for protection, and we can do anything within our limits. No, cultivators with sane minds will care about others\' opinions; they always fight for their benefit.

So, you need to change your mindset if you want to be a good leader." Yang Liwei explained patiently to the holy son.

He knew Yang Wudi was only thirteen years old and needed a lot of guidance to become a successful person. In the absence of his father, he decided to take on this role.

"I will keep that in mind, grand elder." Yang Wudi explained with understanding.

"Don\'t put too much pressure on yourself. You are much younger than both Kai and Leiyin; you also had more resources than they could imagine." Yang Liwei decided to make things a little easier for Yang Wudi.

"I will keep that in mind, elder." Yang Wudi replied.

"For the first part of our training, I will seal your variant physique. You need to do everything without getting assistance from anyone." Yang Liwei decided to seal his variant physique to make Yang Wudi independent. If he used his physique to solve everything, he would be in trouble in a situation where he wouldn\'t be able to use his physique.

The grand elder sealed his physique with his power. Yang Wudi suddenly felt a heavy burden on his body.

\'It is uncomfortable to have my physique sealed.\' thought Yang Wudi. It was like using something every day, but suddenly you can\'t use it anymore.

"First, go down and get me some storybooks from the scripture pavilion." Yang Liwei ordered him.

Yang Wudi did as he said without saying anything and brought the book.

"Clean the entire peak before night without using any cultivation." Yang Liwei ordered another mindless job for Yang Wudi.

He did that job, enduring the embarrassment, since a lot of disciples saw him doing such a thing.

\'Ahhh! Why do I have to do these odd jobs?\' Yang Wudi thought in anger. He came here for training, but the grand elder did not teach him anything.

\'Is he trying to humiliate me?\' wondered Yang Wudi. He did not think anything other than this.

Like this, the grand elder only made him do embarrassing odd jobs without any purpose for a week.

"Okay, your first training ended. We can move to the actual practice now." The grand elder said:

"Thank you for making me realize my nature, elder." Yang Wudi said it honestly. Yang Liwei never made him do anything useless; he wanted Yang Wudi to ignore the stares of everyone.

"You did a good job realizing it on your own. You should never care about other opinions; if you want to achieve something, do it yourself without any care." Yang Liwei praises him. He didn\'t expect Yang Wudi to realize things on his own, considering his pride.

\'He is smart, so he will learn everything in a short period.\' thought Yang Liwei.

"Now, I am going to teach you about using your strength." Yang Liwei said, and he appeared in front of a huge rock.

"See the demonstration clearly; I will show it only once."

He appeared before a rock and positioned himself in front of it. He slapped the rock with his palm and shattered it. He did the same thing with another rock, but the thing is, both of these rocks are broken exactly without any difference.

"How is it possible? Is this something that can be done?" Yang Wudi asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, it is possible, and I\'m a living example of it. If your control over your strength reaches its peak, you can even do more than this." Grand elder explained in amusement.

"Grand Elder, please teach me about this trick." Yang Wudi asked eagerly and with excitement. He already learned how to use a spear as a weapon and also learned three movement techniques. The only thing he lacks, maybe, is the proper basics to use his strength correctly.

"Wudi, you won\'t be able to learn this technique in three weeks. I have lived for more than ten thousand years and still have not mastered it. More importantly, it is not a technique; it is more like a minor path that can only be achieved through hard work. It is divided into body control, muscle control, tissue control, nerve control, cell control, atomic control, particle control, etc...

There may be more division, but I don\'t know about that. Anyone can achieve this level of control through hard work, and it exerts control over not only strength but also Qi and soul."

"Why didn\'t I learn about this from anyone?" Yang Wudi asked doubtfully. Like how he knew the existence of the other two paths and was already cultivating the soul path with the Qi path.

"Well, your father maybe forgot to teach it to you. I don\'t know the reason, but this isn\'t recorded in the scripture pavilion and will only be taught to direct descendants of our family. We formed a technique to achieve fast results in control after a lot of trial and error." Yang Liwei explained.

"Grand Elder, please teach me that technique," Yang Wudi asked in excitement.

"The technique is called Perfect Body Control, with this technique, you can have a shortcut until the cell control level. After that, you will need to find another technique, or you will have to create your technique." The grand elder said:

"Elder, please teach that to me." Yang Wudi asked impatiently.

"Okay, you need to first use your Qi in a specific direction to achieve the result," the grand elder started explaining the whole technique and the specific path to Yang Wudi.

"Did you memorize everything?" Asked Yang Liwei.

"No, grand elder. But I have understood the principle behind the technique." Yang Wudi replied honestly.

"Hmm, understanding by saying once is hard for this technique. Take this book, it explained everything I said and also had some experience about my journey." The grand elder handed over the Perfect Body Control book to him.

Yang Wudi took the book and started reading it; after finishing it, he started practicing.

He forgot about every distraction and started focusing on practice.

General POV

"I have to work harder to defeat him," Aman muttered, and he started lifting weights. He is doing exercise and weight lifting to cultivate his body, as he doesn\'t have any techniques for body cultivation.

He is a very hard-working person, but without enough knowledge, his achievements are limited. He has a simple character that is not suitable for living in such a harsh world, and he is chasing an impossible dream: defeating Kai.

"I will kill him. I will kill him." Leiyin muttered in anger with his red eyes. He wasn\'t able to sleep due to pain. Most of his bones were broken, and some of them were broken beyond recognition; they weren\'t in a condition to heal without a treasure like the Pure White Lotus.

He directed all of his hatred against Kai and wanted to kill him.

\'If I\'m in peak condition, I can defeat that bastard.\' thought Leiyin. He thinks that the reason he got defeated was because he was exhausted by using his Qi in Heaven\'s Wrath move. He wanted to kill Kai for his situation.

Like this, most of the disciples who were participating in the secret realm were doing their training sessions to strengthen themselves. They knew they had to battle among themselves to achieve the resources inside the secret realm, so they didn\'t want the same result as the tournament.

They knew that the gap between the top and bottom wouldn\'t close in a single month, but they still did it anyway for their satisfaction.
