Poison God's Heritage Chapter 293: Secluded Cultivation

I couldn't figure it out, there was sothing clearly in front of , within the footprints the old man had left, but I was still failing to grasp them.

I then decided instead of deducing and understanding, to try and practice, and experience it firsthand.

I placed my foot on the first of the footprint set.

Then took a second step and imdiately felt the world turning upside down.

It wasn't the world, it was as if I, for trying to move I that pattern had completely forgotten how to even move. I was like a toddler trying to move.

"What the fuck?!" I cursed surprised by what had just occurred.

This wasn't sothing normal, I just fell from trying to take a single step forward, how is that even conceivable in the realm of possibilities? An old person like , having lost balance just like that?

With renewed resolve, I stood up, then tried the sa thing once again, taking another step only to fall.

I stopped, there was no reason for to keep trying without figuring out the issue first. Doing the sa thing and expecting a different outco is madness.

I needed to understand what was going on first.

Now, the full set of footprints looked like a person moving in a circle. However, I clearly rember the old man making specific motions before every step.

I then stood up again, and this ti, instead of just blindly trying to walk over the sa footprints, I tried to move my foot, in the sa manner, the old man had done before I touched the ground.

I took a step forward and slowly twitched the sole of my foot before touching the ground.

Once again, I fell but this ti I felt that it wasn't as awkward as before.

I tried again, this ti increasing the jerk of the foot, but the sa result happened only more severely.

"Perhaps it's too much, let's tone it down," I muttered and continued on.

Adding more 'jerkin' to my foot, or reducing it, min-maxing the motion of the foot as I stepped forward.

It took a damnable long ti, of trying, falling, standing back again, and trying again, the motion itself needed to be incredibly accurate to even hope to function.

I tried again and again but still didn't manage to take a single step.

Frustrated I sat back down, took my pipe, and began smoking, as I looked at the footprints.

I was no fool, the old man clearly left this for . A movent technique. Sothing I desperately needed, my movent is too slow, and I have no thods of avoiding blows from other cultivators, my firepower in comparison to cultivators at the sa stage as I am is good enough, as they say a good offense is the best defense, however, against sothing that I can't fight against a trap or sothing of the sorts, without a proper movent technique I'm a sitting duck.

I continued smoking as I was looking at the footprints, then thought of sothing, why not add so law to my movents? Spatial law, to enforce my foot into the correct position.

I stood up and began trying. I used Law to set up a 'fixed' motion, of my foot, instead of 'manually' moving my foot, I applied spatial law in a sequence so that my foot would move slightly to the left and then to the right before it fell down on the correct spot.

And surprisingly it worked.

I then took another step, and the sa happened, however, the ground underneath shivered.

I frowned, the ground was about to break from the second footstep, and if I were to take a third, everything here will be destroyed and I'll lose this footstep set.

I then decided it was best to fully morize the moves and footprints, then headed into Lucid Springs city.

I didn't need to inform anyone of my presence because I was about to enter secluded training.

I went inside the main hall building unnoticed and into one of the private chambers inside it, I locked it and went inside the Lord of Lords pagoda into the white space of practice.

I set up the ti dilation to the maximum and then applied the sa foot pattern of the old man on the ground by drawing it manually.

I then began taking the sa steps from the start.

With every step, the second beca heavier, and it increased its weight more and more. I don't think this was sothing the old man had ant to teach while he was showing this movent technique, but at the sa ti, this byproduct discovered by chance isn't sothing to look at lightly.

Every step seed to have a montum to it, and every ti I took another step, the power behind it doubled. And it kept doubling, increasing its destructiveness as I felt that whenever my foot fell down, the whole white space shuddered. And the best thing was, I wasn't exhausting any of my Qi in the process, it was so sort of application that gathered montum and released it with being the dium and enabler but not the supplier of Qi.

I continued exploring all the possibilities of this 'Montum Step' and discovered a few things.

Once I took the seventh step, I couldn't handle the weight anymore, though I didn't use Qi, I could feel that my foot's weight had increased trendously.

And the impact from the seventh step, and I'm not exaggerating, was enough to bust down an entire mountain top.

Secondly, I couldn't do it again for an entire day, it wasn't Qi that was exhausted, but my own body, after the seventh step I could feel like I was emptied out and couldn't even take another step forward. Finally, the fact that this montum motion can actually be transferred.

For example, I could take six steps, and instead of taking the seventh step, I could thrust my palm forward using the sa application of spatial jittering and can transfer the montum from my foot to my palm, causing a destructive shockwave to be released instead. The problem was the mont I transferred the montum to my palm, I lost the ability to move my entire arm for a whole day.

"Neat," I muttered. Sothing ca out of that practice. But, this was a movent technique in the first place, so I'll need to actually solve the issue of this montum gain and obtain the ability to transfer the montum into movent speed.

I tried again this ti without relying on spatial law but failed nevertheless to even take a single step.

I tried other things but I couldn't figure out a way how to replicate the old man's movent.

First off, the application of the law was a good idea, but that was cheating. The old man didn't use any laws in his movent, it was pure motion.

However, he added sothing to it, and I needed to figure out what.

I walked around trying to figure out how this whole ss can be solved. And I didn't seem to be able to find anything.

Perhaps, it's true, I have no talent as the old man had said, I don't have a talent root, nor a Qi body. I'm a parasite that hosted the body of a young kid in a different world. I never was a cultivator and all my achievents were due to relying on my otherworldly knowledge.

I imdiately, shook my head, why the heck was I thinking such nasty thoughts.

Shen Bao, drop the self-deprecation and self-loathing, it's beneath you, I achieved all I have due to my own effort and hard work. Whenever I was presented with a problem, I always solved it, my way.

So, if I can't figure out how exactly the old man did his movent technique, then so what? I'll try and learn another movent technique at worst. At least I learned sothing from that movent technique even if it was just a side effect of the main skill.

As I was giving myself a pep talk and moving around, I stopped montarily.

"Wait, I'm a genius! It was obvious! Form the start!" I said and went right back to the steps.

And then took the first step, then the second, then the third, in quick succession as my lips widened up in a big smile.

The motions I made were immaculately accurate, to the smallest action, even the foot jerking was included in my moves.

And then, my speed, increased incredibly so, so much that I was honestly amazed at myself at how fast the motion and movent can be. I could swear that I was so fast I was actually catching up to my own afterimages.

I stopped soon however as I was assaulted with a wave of exhaustion, but at the sa ti, I was happy to have discovered the secret of this technique.

It was simple, a side effect. The steps the old man took, felt devoid of all Qi, however, in essence, they weren't, no martial art is fully devoid of Qi, it was just that the old man was actually using a minuscule amount of it, at an extrely rapid pace.

It was like sending a shockwave of Qi to his feet in bursts, and the 'side effect' of these sudden bursts of qi was the twitching of his foot, at first I thought it was sothing that needed to move, but it was actually nothing but a side effect.

I continued practicing the movent technique for several days more inside the Lord of Lords pagoda and didn't leave until I was fully confident in my own ability to use the movent technique without ssing up a step.

Not only that I also made sure to further practice the Montum Movent Technique that I discovered by sheer luck.

Now that I learned the movent technique, it's ti for to stop ignoring the giant elephant in the room.

My personal cultivation has been stagnant for a while, and I no longer have an excuse not to push it forward.

It's ti to hit the Soul Formation stage.
