Chapter 34

Ling Qi avoided pushing things so far again in her practice with Meizhen, if only to avoid having to repair her flying sword again. Slowly, she improved, and its motions became smoother and more natural. It still felt odd though as if she were learning to use a limb she had forgotten.

According to the Inner Sect tutor she had hired, that was precisely what a domain weapon was. A cultivator’s domain was a part of them as surely as one's hands and feet were. A domain weapon’s main use as a training tool was that it provided an obvious physical medium by which she could learn to “flex” the spiritual muscle that she was only now beginning to develop.

Yet learning to control a weapon with her domain was only the first faltering steps of an infant. It was only in the early stages of the green realm that cultivators let their weapons simply clash against one another. As she grew, she would learn to integrate an art into the blade she wielded, allowing her to use multiple techniques simultaneously.

That was far in the future though. The green realm had more stages than the two preceding realms combined and all were focused on the development of the domain. The second stage of the third realm, appraisal, would prepare her to begin constructing her domain’s foundation, and each step thereafter required further clarifying her domain through the cultivation of arts and internalization of insights until she reached the cusp of the fourth realm and settled on a way. In the third realm, it would be, if not easy, then at least reasonable to shift and change her domain to a fairly large degree, but once she took the next step, her domain, to all intents and purposes, would be final. There were only a handful of rare and difficult methods which could shift the foundation of a cultivator’s way once it had been set.

Ling Qi threw herself further into her training. Helped along by the Silverblood Pill Su Ling and Li Suyin had developed and her tutor, she quickly mastered the exercises behind her two less used argent arts, pushing them toward mastery and reaching the third rumble in Argent Storm and the fourth flow in Argent Current. Aside from the general improvements in the two argent arts’ techniques, she mastered a new technique, Boom Leap.

Every time she mastered a new movement or a new twist of qi control, she could feel herself coming closer to a sense of completion. Her tutor revealed that the argent arts had been created by Sect Head Yuan as a comprehensive art suite for the Sect’s armed forces. The Mirror was meant to defend against the battlefield manipulation of the Cloud Tribe shamans, the Storm empowered the soldiers, enabling them to both defend against volleys of arrows and to close distance, and the Current allowed the charge of Argent Peak’s soldiers to break enemy lines. The Sect would grant Argent Pulse to those cultivators who mastered all three argent arts.
