BoW: Martial World c42

As morning arrived, Xiao Tian Long took the pair to his place.

The girls quickly sensed a much denser True Essence in the air. The moment they got closer to his stone-like house.

“So you made this from Arrays…” Murong Zi hummed as she looked at the place.

His number one status gave him a beautiful scenery, and now he has built a house.

However, her attention is on the True Essence in the air. The change was considerable. Bai Jingyun noticed that as well. Her eyes perked up at this change. She is pleased and a bit relieved. Her survival looks more like a possibility now.

As the trio walked closer, they noticed his girls in different areas cultivating around the house.

All of these girls had glowing white auras. The pair have never seen such a thing before.

Was this… the Martial Intent he was talking about?

For now, he showed the house. They could sense even thicker energy in the house. They quickly noticed Wang Yuhan in one of the rooms.

‘To think that he laid his hands on our cute Yuhan…’ Murong Zi sighed, she saw Wang Yuhan before around Xiao Tian Long. She ignored it before, but now she won’t be able. All three of them knowing each other for years, with Wang Yuhan being the youngest. They grew up together…

And now they share the same man… 

Never in her dreams did she consider that! Wang Yuhan and Murong Zi even looked down on such a thing like a harem.

Yet, they were proud members of one! Fate is making fun of her!

“Hmm? Sister Zi?” Wang Yuhan opened her eyes as she looked at the girls before her. Murong Zi showed a strained smile as she waved her hand, greeting her.

“Hello, Yuhan…”

“You became Darling’s girls, too?” Wang Yuban got up from her bed and walked over. She had a knowing smile on her face.

To her, it was only a matter of time before Xiao Tian Long would get into her sisters, Murong Zi’s and Bai Jingyun’s panties.

The pair looked at their man. They sighed, and it seemed that Xiao Tian Long had corrupted their little sister!

“Yes…”

“That’s great! We can be together again, as we used to be back in the day!” Wang Yuhan gushed with excitment! It’s great to have childhood friends close by once more! No, they are no longer childhood friends but real sisters!

“Oh, you girls know each other?” 

“We do; our families are close,” Bai Jingyun commented. If they had brothers, they would have arranged marriages by this point. Thankfully, they are all talented enough to dodge such circumstances.

“Wonderful. Han’er, you can help me by explaining some things if I miss.” Xiao Tian Long said to his darling Wang Princess. 

“Leave it to me. I will help whenever I can.” The beauty seriously nodded. It’s great that she can feel like a senior in this situation.

The pair of older girls rolled their eyes. To think that Wang Yuhan would be a senior at some point was a silly idea for these two.

“Good, then follow me, you three.” He motioned to follow. The duo of girls immediately liked this place more than their huts because it had proper bathrooms, which made them curious to know how he installed all of the pipes. 

Of course, he showed the kitchen…

“You can cook?” Murong Zi asked, when she saw his casual nod, something inside of her flipped. She had an urge to learn as well. 

Just like the other five girls who live around him, they have their pride, and now it was tested.

“I see…” The red-clothed beauty mumbled. By this point, she is certain that he can do everything.

After the kitchen, he showed them THE ROOM.

Bai Jingyun and Murong Zi stared at a windowless room with a yellow glowing circle in the middle. White clouds floated in the room. They were True Essence. The air was so thick that white, misty clouds began to form.

“This is where my cultivation caught up with the rest of the girls! I had two breakthroughs just from cultivating here.” Wang Yuhan proudly explained her achievements.

Murong Zi and Bai Jingyun looked at each other before looking at Xiao Tian Long. The longer they were with him, the more certain they were that they would reach Xiantian.

They just had this feeling!

“Yes, my darling Han’er can’t be behind.” Xiao Tian Long smiled as he wrapped his hand around Wang Yuhan. The beauty in question coyly smiled at him as she leaned into his chest before kissing him.

Wang Family Princess is not embarrassed anymore to show her affection to him. Instead, she feels she should be proud that he has selected her as his woman.

The pair of beauties rolled their eyes, seeing how smug their childhood friend was.

After the sloppy kiss, they continued to check the house. Once they were done with that, he showed them his training area.

‘The aura in this place…’

‘Can feel the sword's sharpness on my skin!’ The pair were surprised as they looked around. Soon they realised that it was the place itself and there was no strange array in place.

“This is where I practise. You girls can use this place as well.

If you want to grasp martial intent, then this is the place. I even have an array that causes you to feel pressure and pushes you to the limit," He explained to the pair.

“Can we start with Martial Intents?” Bai Jingyun asked. She knew that martial intent was the most important thing about cultivation going forward.

“Sure.” He nodded before he looked at Wang Yuhan.

“If you want, you can return to your cultivation while I teach these two the ropes.”

“Un. I will be waiting for you after this.” She winked at him before walking away.

It was certain that the beauty wanted to continue where they had left off.

“Unbelievable what you did to Yuhan! She became such a naughty girl!” Murong Zi puffed her cheeks. 

“Relax, I will drown you in love as well.” He rolled his eyes, causing not just Murong Zi to blush but Bai Jingyun as well.

“T-That is not what I meant!” The girl got self-conscious all of a sudden. However, she didn’t decline such an offer, especially after what she experienced last night.

“I can see jealousy, Zi’er. No need to hide such a thing from me.” He smiled while saying that.

“C-Can we just return to martial arts?” The girl didn’t argue anymore. She changed the theme of the conversation altogether.

“Alright. So sit down.” He motioned for them to take their seats on a prepared platform.

The girls followed his lead as he began to explain the fundamentals, how martial Intent comes from desires—deep Desires and the pressure one can put himself under.

So desire and need mixed with a clear mind state, or so-called Zen. 

“Don’t be disheartened if you can’t do it on the first try. It took a while for my girls.” 

As he said that, he pulled out his main sword and Cloud Sword and placed them on his lap. He then activated his two martial intents and began to ponder and study the Concept of Heaviness.

He was still getting used to utilising several things at once.

“That guy! He just leaves us hanging like that!” Murong Zi complained.

“Just focus on trying.” Bai Jingyun sharply told her to zip it.

“Fine…”

A couple of minutes later, the red-robed beauty sighed. She could tell that the method was working, as crazy as it sounds, but she was blocked at the very last moment.

Her eyes then moved to the side… what she saw was Bai Jingyun surrounded by a blue liquid-like layer of energy!

“N-No way…”

“You don’t desire enough, Zi’er.” Xiao Tian Long said, even when he was surrounded by those auras!

The girl reeled back, did he hear her complain!?

“How about enticement?” He pondered. 

“Enticement?” She looked interested.

“Yes. If you succeed, I will prepare a sword with a powerful inscription and a technique—a whole package all at once.” 

Her eyes perked up! She was sold right there!

She quickly closed her eyes and began to try…

A few moments later, a red…almost flaming like aura surrounded her!

‘Magnificent!’ Xiao Tian Long praised internally, seeing his girls achieve it.

“Done!”

Murong Zi opened her eyes. “It would seem that it only works if I am motivated enough.” The girl rubbed her cheeks in small embarrassment. She is well known for losing interest in martial arts. Even if her talent was third in the Kingdom. Right after Qin Xingxuan and Zhang Guanyu.

“No problem. I can motivate you.” He winked at her, making her blush even more. She can already imagine her being pinned against a wall.

She can imagine it decently now after experiencing it in person.

“S-Sure~” The girl stiffly nodded. If he wants it, she can’t stop him…

Not that she would try to stop him. She is powerless when he desires her, as she desires him just as much.

“I have achieved it as well. I feel that I submerge in water, and slowly things come together.” Bai Jingyun explained to them.

‘Interesting… Murong Zi is like fire. Rapidly progressing before losing interest, while Bai Jingyun is slower but more consistent with her water-like Martial Intent.’

“Wonderful. Now that the basics are out of the way, I will share with you two body transformation techniques that you need to know.”

He threw them copies of Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridians.

“Don’t we already have that technique you gave us?” Murong Zi asked, as she feels that practising more than one could be painful…

But with her new martial Intent, she could accelerate it…

It wasn’t that bad…

“This is body cultivation; what I gave you before was Energy gathering. There are three forms of cultivation: energy, body, and soul, " he explained to them.

“T-Three? First time that I hear this!” The pair looked surprised. They never thought of this. But it made sense since humans can only start cultivating energy after the Pulse Condensing Stage.

“That is why we start with body transformation. We need to change bodies first to start the Energy path.”

“Then… can we continue training bodies after Pulse Condensation?” Bai Jingyun asked, feeling that it would be a secret of some sort…

“We will.” He smiled before motioning to start.

The pair nodded as they began reading the content of the jade slips.

“...Amazing…”

They realised this was the entire set of arts… Primal Chaos Theory and the Flow Like Silk method.

It made them realise why the girls, including Wang Yuhan had this thick True Essence around them.

It was this method.

“Then start, girls, refine your old energy, and continue with your cultivation. I suggest using the Stellar Codex of Pure Energy to attract the True Essence before utilising Primal Chaos Theory. 

Don’t forget Flow Like Silk. It would magnify the control of your True Essence.”

He explained to the pair before returning to his cultivation.

The pair began as he had instructed. Both of them were excited. It was like learning about cultivation all over again.

Only this time they realised that they were only scratching the surface.

~~~

“...Phew… done…” Murong Zi sighed as she looked to the side. Bai Jingyun was still busy with her energy refinement. 

The liquid blue aura surrounded her. It was clear that she was deeply in her cultivation.

“It’s already nighttime.” She realised that. And Xiao Tian Long was already gone. So the beauty with a smile began to look for him.

Her man was the most interesting individual to the girl now.

So she wants to spend time with him, learning new arts, learning more about cultivation, tasting his food, and checking how he is doing his inscriptions and arrays.

There is a whole bucket list she wants to do with him.

But then she deadpanned as she heard moans coming from the house…

“Of course, he is doing things to Yuhan…”
