Chapter 10: The Mysterious Work of the Hero
Chapter Ten
Daji had never been this surprised in her life, because just a casual word from Li An had caused such a huge tsunami in her, she had long given up on cultivation when she can no longer breakthrough due to some accident when she was a baby, but a casual words from Li An had broken her cause and her limit was broken.
"Thank you Mr. Li" she said and bow.
Li an quickly stopped her from bowling, he said. "Oh! It is nothing that great, I am used to saying foolish thing that makes no sense."
Daji almost throw up blood, her mind was racing because if Li An said that his words make no sense, and it had caused her a major breakthrough like this, then what if he decided to say something that make sense, it make Daji wants to worship Li An once again, just that Li An does not allowed her to bow once again.
But she was looking at Li An with an eyes of respect, she was looking at him with an eyes of admonition and worship, meanwhile Li An have no idea what was in Daji mind, he stand akimbo and continued.
"Princess Daji, cooperation is not to be left out, the reason your Endless World was able to hold on till today when you are among the weakest is because of your cooperation, because one can defeat a thousand, but two can defeat ten of thousand."
Daji was still looking at Li An with respect, as she did not noticed that Li An was saying something, but then again she was pulled into another space.
"Oh! Not again, I am having two epiphany just in a matter not few seconds." Those were the thought in Daji mind right.
She even tried to cut off the link to the epiphany, but it was impossible to do just that, because Li An words was too strong for her to withstand, and once again, she was out in the open field, and ahead of her she can see a lone man trying to push a world of fire trying to destroy his home, below him were people who are mortal and powerless, because the fire was burning his hand and he was become weak
Just that the lone man is losing and the fire world is about to burn down his home, but suddenly the mortal all get to work, they find bowl is water, some were pulling water, some from drainage, they began to pour it on the fire world, the were trying eveey mean to kill the fire, water from every angle, both front and back, right and left, they did not leave a space be.
Funny enough some even began to use thick wood to push the fire world, they knew they cannot touch the fire or they will hurt to death, but they only wanted to save themselves and their home, hence they improvised and off course the ones trying to put out the fire did not stop nor relent, even children and old were working so hard just to put the fire pit, and those pushing with wood did not relent too, u till finally the fire world was defeated and put off completely.
Daji was having a rush of insight, it was the insight of cooperation, she had no idea how it was to be together, but now the insight was trying to fuse itself into her body, she was just like an empty vessel opened for anything to fill it. From her vision right now, she have an Insight of fire, water, world, life, air, earth, light and darkness, thus all of these insight was too much for her body, hence she became weak and she was lost in the world beyond.
Li An was still feeling good that he could at least shine, it was because back in the hall of destiny, he had read a lot of books, from Mathematics, English Language, he read Physics, Government and every subject, he read many history of the world, he read books on different quote from every statesman from Archimedes to Pythagoras, to Aristotle to Plato and many more, he read words from Sun Tzu, Buddha, he read many stories about every Nations and Countries. Never did he thought that all those knowledge will be good for him to shine with.
He turned around to continued, it was then he noticed that Daji was no longer listening, and she seem lost, Li An frowned and approached her.
"Princess, are you okay?" he asked.
He touched her and Daji just fell into his arms, Li An quickly caught her before she hit the ground, he became scared because he had no idea what to do.
"Princess are you okay?" he said at first, but he got no reply from Daji.
Meanwhile the man named Hong Jun also came back to summoned Li An and Daji, and then he noticed that Daji was on the floor seeming to be in the brink of death, he came running and almost push Li An away, but then he skipped because he suddenly remembered that Li An was an hero from another world, even though he have no power, yet he was a respectable hero.
"What happened to the Princess?" he asked in a shaky tone.
Li An breath relieved, he was worried because he have no idea how to care for a cultivator, luckily someone came too some, quickly he gave way for the man, he said
"I don't know what happened to her, she just fell." Li An said looking at Daji who was still on the floor.
Off course Hong Jun was already trying to check out what is happening in Daji body, he used his divine sense to found out what is happening in her body, but his mouth was opened wide and unable to closed it.
"The Princess is having a breakthrough at this moment." He said with shock written in his expression
Li An as well was taken aback, off course he knew very well than ask about what a breakthrough means, he knew well that it meant that Daji is increasing in power and probably age.
"Wow, that is very cool, being a cultivator is very cool and awesome, but does a breakthrough just happen like that, I thought you have to accumulate a lot of things and likes like that." Li An was expectant as he looked at Hong Jun in tht eyes.
"Yes, but I have no idea what cause Princess sudden breakthrough, maybe I should asked you what forced her breakthrough."
Li An was taken aback, he quickly raised his hand in protest. "I did nothing to her, I was only talking to her, and he just fell."
This time Li An was very scared that maybe Hong Jun might not believe his words. Off course Hong Jun frowned at first, as she looked at Daji who was still on the floor, it was because he was trying to process what happened. As far as he know about Daji, she cannot increase in cultivation till lifetime, she had an accident at the age of five, hence she had lived as mortal since she grow up.
But what he was seeing right now surpass his knowledge, because right now Daji had pass the threshold of a mortal man, and he was improving at a rapid rate that can only be attribute to a demon improvement. There were actually ten stages of a cultivator, Qi gathering is the least and Ascension the highest, the others were Foundation Building, Golden Core, Combine Primal Infant, Primal Infant, God-transforming, Tribulation, Godhood and finally Ascension, then one can become an Immortal or God. Right now Daji who had never cultivated in her life was now in the threshold of Foundation Building.
It caused Hong Jun to be in a state of shock still. Off course Hong Jun silence was making Li An nervous and scared, but he was shocked, when Hong Jun quickly help Daji up, he bow to Li An and said. "Hero, we have to leave now, you can tell me how it began in the ship."
Before Li An could even swallowed his saliva, he found himself floating in the air, he was shocked and almost fell, but found himself balanced once again.
"What is going on?" Li An asked again.
"It is one the few trick a cultivator can do Mr. Li." Hong Jun replied and then they were inside the ship which was in the sky waiting for their arrival.
"All hand on the deck, get this ship flying and faster than it is, we need to make it back home as soon as possible." Hong Jun gave the order.
Off course he turn to Li An and said. "Mr. Li, kindly come with me to the Princess room, you are our Endless World guest, and must be treated well."
Li An nods his head and he did follow Hong Jun deep into the ship.
