Chapter 64  Slow progress is still progress

Wang stood under the waterfall and from this place it was not easy to see the huge cow sleeping at the edge. From time to time he try practicing against the waterfall, and his efforts alternated from would alternate.

During the early hours just like today in the morning, he arrived with a spear at hand and he kept swinging it in the end even matching the rhythm of the waterfall. He then shifted to meditation from under the waterfall, using a spear intent to resist the water from hitting him, he wanted to stop it from flowing but that was almost impossible unless he gained some insight into the domain.

Wang seemed to have suffered seriously from the impact of the domain released by Ruruo as at that time felt his own insignificance. He could not be blamed as the transformation of intent to the domain is a huge one, and the oppression brought by the domain to intent can therefore not be resisted.

The good thing was that this allowed him to evolve in mentality and even his bloated ego was trimmed down, allowing him to understand there were stronger people than him and even some near him and his level was not something to be proud of.

At this moment he did not have those naive thoughts that after reaching a certain level he could manage to get himself some kind of life. He would make do with his situation and make his life what he wants as he practiced hard too, as the farm he had set up was a good start. Sitting under the waterfall, Wang was slowly refining his intent like this and it proved very practical, it was just the method was a mental drain on him but he did not care at all.

Time was passing by fast and in a flash, a month had gone by since Ruruo left for the battlefield, and Ago would spend some time with Wang receiving some pointers on cultivation, as for resources he seemed to not lack them. He was not shocked that Ruruo organized them as someone at the grandmaster level who would not lack some basic resources.

One evening when he was relaxing, with some meal on the fire close by, some memories flashed through his mind and this prompted him to look into the sky, raising his hand as though in an attempt to grasp the space above him. His eyes however were more or less looking into space for off beyond the world. He could not see anything there but it seemed to represent his ambition. He once had some ambitions in his previous life that he did not accomplish due to many things and responsibilities being among them. He had thoughts of visiting the wider world and seeing more but at the time this ambition could be hidden deep within his eyes.

"This is not the time to think about this kind of thing, perhaps when I'm more capable I can do this." As his thoughts remembered his food when his stomach started to grumble. As he thought more about it, he had to come up with some way, to chase after resources, and since he was afraid of getting in trouble, other means would have to be imagined. Having his face and name out there would not be useful at all. In the process of practice, some resources might indeed even force him to appear at the same time he needed too much energy for the practice of his body art.

With the daily practice routine, Wang was indeed going to achieve something as even though only a small number of days had passed by he managed to sharpen his spirit. In the end, it affects his intent to the largest extent. His physique was being tempered by the water falling on it from time to time. "Improving is indeed not easy even with the high potential I possess. I wonder how long it would take me to reach the stage of transforming Qi into True Qi." This process was not as simple as it seemed the lifespan of a grandmaster was about 200 years and the conversion of Qi resulted in close to 40 years minimum added to the lifespan.

Liquified Qi and artistic conception seem to have some benefits to the body he could only understand after he had experienced. From this stage, the most important thing was the level domain, and most people seemed to view it as the Celestial realm because the lifespan at this stage was already making a transition. However, it was even more difficult to break through into this realm since the requirements have managed to trap some people in the real since the issue of the domain can be tricky.

The title of Celestial seemed to be slowly covering the name of the realm, and even some people called it the land immortal since it was already a level that not many could accomplish in the path of martial arts, as some geniuses had been stuck at the half-step domain level.

In that case, one needed to focus on developing their foundation and then take the rise step by step seriously such that when they reached the limit of grandmaster they can break through to a new realm rather than stepping on some half-step realm. With those people that seem to be stuck at the level of a half-step, it is more like a miracle to break through by themselves as most that happen in this way are from a life and death fight.

With nothing to lose some people would find themselves getting involved with life and death fights and the chance of success is usually very low, and others use external objects to improve their realm and in this case, one would have to use external objects to keep improving their realm to the peak and after that, there is no future for them. It is because the process of grasping the domain has some subtlety that seems to be linked to the path one is taking. The domain is the real foundation and using some other shortcuts to set up a foundation is already cutting off one's own path.

By the time he left the forest, he could already feel he needed more and the place he had not or did not dare visit in the forest was the huge water in the middle of the forest. It spread over a large distance and even the creatures that those warriors in the Ziyu city fought were mainly from the water or the other side, no one really cared as long as their benefits were assured.

The forest, Covered by huge trees, and massive streams flowing from side to side with creatures with black Qi on them that resembled humans could be seen gathered in large numbers and organized in some groups. In another area several hundred kilometers away, another camp could be seen and wooden houses were set up. The place seemed like a small city, but the organization resembled some military station. In one of the houses, covered by a wooden fence, Ruruo was sitting outside, and beside her two women could be seen armed with leather armor and swords at their waists.

For the forests, other areas were not covered by the same level of security at all, since this was the entry area into the forest, and setting up here meant the enemy would be dealt with before they can enter the wider forest otherwise nothing could be done to stop their spread in the massive forest.

The forest was not that easy to mess with but the strongest overloads in it spend most of their time in sleep and thus no one cared about them. In fact, it would be a disaster to mess with them, after all, beasts with high authority even though might not have a high realm, their bloodline could be superior allowing them to physical beats whose main power comes from a stronger physique and bloodline making them issue orders for the beast tide. Becoming enemies with such an enemy is considered to cause trouble for oneself as they spend most of their time sleeping.

 In the battleground the atmosphere was indeed tense, fighting been happening and the number of casualties seemed to be rising as for Ruruo she has yet to enter the battlefield and just like her others from Ziyu city have been staying in this military camp waiting for their chance to enter the battleground and kill enemies for contribution points.

In the same way, they were not anxious since they knew that the enemy would not run away, and thus relaxed the two women standing beside her were given as subordinates due to the status she holds, after all, she was the only City Lord's disciple.

During this period of time, she also spent her time trying to improve her comprehension of the domain, and she could feel the difficulty rising, "It is indeed difficult to step from grandmaster into domain realm, no wonder many people are stuck at the half-step domain stage." She indeed did not call herself a celestial with the breakthrough because she has self-knowledge and understands that the Domain realm is just a small stage in the grand journey of martial arts. Calling oneself a celestial is even more arrogant than anything one could understand because those with higher levels still do not use such titles.

"The entry into the domain is indeed a hurdle and after that, the journey should be smoother for some time." Yes, just as she had said, in the path of martial arts, there are some stages that would make it hard to cross and the most important one for her was this one. But with her talent, it would indeed be an insult to other martial artists if she had to face some bottleneck here.

and did not seem to be stressed as her hand was put on her belly. Her thoughts were drifting too, as she looked into the sky. No one could tell what she was thinking.

...

She also had some ambitions and which can be explained by her coming to this place to collect contribution points. On the other side, Wang was under the waterfall at this moment and the water around him was shaking.

"It seems I have to take a long time to break through, but that is not a problem at all." She sat there
