Strange Space

At this moment, Bia Xiao could be seen standing in front of a burned down tree with two graves laying in front of it. There were burn marks on the head tones that Bia Xiao was slowly cleaning over with his robes.

"It's been a while since I've been here. I've broken through after so many years, now I can begin to practice martial arts and I'll take revenge for you guys someday I promise you"

Bia Xiao's eyes flashed with a brutal light, each time he thought about the deaths of his mother and father, his heart would be filled with bone-deep killing intent.

After an hour of hard cleaning, he took a hold of the Myriad Beast Spear. He looked around to ensure that no one else was around before he started to practice the Mountain Valley Spear Style. He opened his foot in a horse stance with the spear pointing forward but he didn't move afterward.

He closed his eyes, emptying all thoughts from his mind and breathing slowly. The Mountain Valley Spear Style had three sections to it, which was Mountain, Valley, and the spear style itself. The first style of Mountain, which implied that one must be like the immovable mountain that weathered any rain and storm.

Grand, as it towered overall and firm in its form and imposing in its aura. The mountain form could be considered as the basic foundation for the Mountain Valley Spear style and without first underside this form, one would never progress in cultivating this spear art.

"Breath"

Bia Xiao slowly breathed in and out, his chest rising and falling in an even manner. The internal energy inside of his body began to circulate on its own, sending cool energy throughout his body. The feeling was refreshing as he could feel his pores opened up breathing.

He stood there like that for three hours without moving, his hands and shoulders left numb all over under the weight of the spear. But even so, he didn't let go of the spear and kept holding on while slowly breathing in and out.

After another two hours, Bia Xiao's body was filled with sweat to the point where his body was soaked wet. With his eyes closed, inside of his mind, all of the information for the spear began to flow to and form.

His mind blanked out as he entered a completely white space. In this space, he saw the Celestial Seizing Core slowly rotating without stopping. It was beating like a heartbeat and the space around it twisted frantically with a strange energy.

"Where am I?"

Bia Xiao looked at the space with a weird expression, he didn't feel the weakness he was feeling moments ago nor could he see anything else other than the white space.

"How did I get here"

Bia Xiao looked up and down but could not find an explanation as to how he had gotten into this space and why. Not to mention that he could see the Celestial Seizing Core but couldn't feel it. Right as he was thinking about how to leave, he saw a young man holding a spear in his hand while standing firmly bay a riverbank.

"Master Zeng Zue"

Bia Xiao murmured as he looked at the young man holding the spear in his hands. His aura was as furious and wild as a beast but firm and stable like a mountain. While the young man held the pear firmly in his hands, he began to speak and as he did, the words entered into Bia Xiao's brain like a waterfall.

"In ancient times, the Spear was known as the 'King of all Weapons', and to this day the Spear is still the most common and effective of all long-range weapons. Aside from combat, the Spear also plays a crucial role in survival, having been used for hundreds of thousands of years for hunting, attacking, and defense."

The young man held the spear firmly in his hands, with each passing moment, his aura rose higher and higher. No matter how the river roared or even the rain fell, the young man would never move from his position nor did his facial expression changed for even a minute.

Bia Xiao looked to the side and found that the Myriad Beast Spear appeared soundly without him even realizing it. He could tell that this was maybe space that was maybe created by Zeng Zue for training but the only thing is, he didn't know how to get in or leave.

"Whatever, I doubt I'd b stuck in here forever. Wouldn't that just be the most ironic thing ever, let get to practicing"

Bia Xiao took his stance as he imitates the young man's stance, he closed his eyes to calm his mind from all the thoughts that were distracting him while also still listening to the teachings of the young man

"The length and superior reach of the spear can even contend with aggressive animals such as Bears, Boars, and Tigers, much less a man with a shorter weapon. The King of weapons has a set of primary grips, stances, maneuvers, cuts, chops, slashes, blocks, parries, and thrusts. One must build these important movements into the body like a second nature reflex."

When Bia Xiao heard all of this, he still kept his position and slowly breathe in and out, the listen and to the voice as it imported the essence of the spear to him.

"Like the great Dao, the spear in itself is a Dao of heaven and earth. All weapons when trained to their peaks can release the power of heaven and earth and imitate the Dao, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang and signifying the way"

The young man took a step forward, his aura spiked as he thrusts the spear outwards. Roaring sounds filled the area around him for miles, the spear in his hand released images of dozens of beasts before shattering the space before him.

"When the heavens reject me, I choose to turn back and focus on my own Dao. The Dao of a fiend, the Myriad Beast Spear forms of the Dao of the beasts, the heaven of all beasts for fiend is to become as wild as one can be when facing against the heavens"

When the young man thrust out the spear again, a mountain slowly raised behind his back. The spear instantly became as heavy as a mountain as it pressured the air, bursting through with sonic boom sounds.

"Dao of beasts"

Bia Xiao opened his eyes and found that he was laying on his back covered in sweat and breathing heavily. His body felt sore all over, his hands felt numb, and his internal energy had all been used up. Even if he wanted to get up, he couldn't, he was so exhausted that he felt as if he could pass out at any moment.

"Damn that space"

Bia Xiao cursed as he lay on the ground covered in his sweat. The Celestial Seizing Core started to beat and rotated on its own, when it did, Bia Xiao could feel a burning heat like that of lava spreading all over his body.

"Son of a b****"

The heat coming from his body evaporated all the sweat on his skin into steam, the Meridians in his body trembled under the heat as if they were excited. While the heat was raised, Bia Xiao could also feel a cooling sensation washing over his body.

When he looked closely, he saw several hundreds of ruins swimming across the sky. The ruins devoured the water's spiritual energy in the atmosphere and transferred it into his body. One had to know that water spiritual energy had a wonderful healing effect on the body and those who practiced the water arts were mostly healers.

"Oh so it could also be used in this way too huh"

Bia Xiao could feel his body's exhaustion clearing up and them numbing feeling slowly leaving his body. But the heat was still there nonetheless after a while he was able to sit in a crossed-legged position, he then reached out with his hands as ruins upon ruins spread outwards into the surroundings.

They went underground, in the air, into the trees, everything as they absorbed the water's spiritual energy and transferred it to Bia Xiao for him to cultivate. The best time for a martial arts expert to cultivate was after exhausting their body to the fullest and squeezing out all the potential the body could at the moment.

If anyone were to pass by at this moment and saw Bia Xiao, then they would have been shocked silly. The ruins on the ground and in the air numbered in the thousands and the language foretold by the ruins were very ancient and radiated with an aura of old age and passing times.

"This is a pleasant surprise, I can now use this method to now properly cultivate. It's a little too flashy and would attract a lot of attention, guess I would have to find a better way to do this in the future then. But for now, restoring my strength comes first"
