Once your clone is destroyed, one-third of your soul would be destroyed,dealing you an almost irreversible damage to your soul".
This clone technique I taught you was only ever used in my clan for sparring sessions,never for actual fights,because the probability of damage was high,causing geniuses to become crippled…avoid using it in fights altogether—young master".
Looking at uncle tian's stern expressions as he spoke,Tian yi decided not to take the warning with levity,he assured uncle tian that he would never take out the clone except in dire situations,
Hearing that,uncle Tian relaxed…
Tian yi went off to the bank of the stream then sat down cross-legged,entering a meditative state to replenish his energy.
His fight with the clone had drained him of about seventy percent of his energy reserves,thier fight lasted for over an hour,with both of them consuming astronomical amounts of energy with each kick and punch throw.
...
After about an hour,Tian yi finally stood up,
He looked resplendent in the sun,his hair flowing in the wind elegantly…
"Hey,young master,I'm over here,"
Uncle tian called out from a distance…
"He cooked huh??,hope it's not poison,ughhhh",
Closing in,tian yi was shocked by the aroma coming from the roast meat,he could help but compliment…
"Wow old man,it seems like you picked up a skill or two from me the other day,hahaha"
Tian yi broke out in a peal of laughter,riling uncle tian up.
"Shut up brat,I existed way long before you,wouldn't my existence be a waste if I didn't know how to season basic meat,I've eaten far more exotic dishes than you can ever imagine,
This piece of meat you consider great is considered trash where I come from,humph"
"If you don't mind I'll go back to roasting my armadillo",
Uncle tian harumphed,then went back to rotating his seasoned spotted wood armadillo,he had fallen in love with the aroma of the meat the last time tian yi prepared the meat,so he decided to have it again.
"To be fair,you're not doing bad,I guess I could give you credit just this one time uncle tian,good job."
"What do you mean by 'just this one time',I'll spank you,you punk!!!",
"I'll like to see you put your hands on your young master.,"
" ohh,so you think I can't ehh??,"
"Of course n—hey,old man leave me alone….please…huhuhu….I'll not do it again uncle tian,pleaseeee…."
The two men bickered and pursued each other,underneath the setting sun…
…..
On a lake,calm and but murky,rowed a boat slowly,normally the movement of a boat would normally cause ripples on the surface of the lake,but strangely enough,there was no such thing,the lake was absolutely still.
Sitted in it was a man,looking suave,faint blue light surrounded him,and his eyes were closed.
He had a fishing hook silhouette hovering above him,glowing with blue light also..
Sudden opened his eyes,a faint ripple spread across the lake,causing the murky water to become clear as the ripple spread,but strangely it didn't cause a ripple effect…
"Heart like clear water…I've finally reached this stage",
This was yang ye,tian yi was not the only one making great progress due to his encounter with the quadruple fanged python,yang ye was pushed to get stronger on behalf of his family.
He had successfully reached the third stage in cultivating the mind…
The fist stage was
"heart of water",which showed his ability to adapt to varying situations,then came the second stage,
"Heart like still water",thus showed his state of mind being stable,unwavering and stable,then there came the third stage…
"Heart like clear water",this showed his state of mind,clarity in every thing around him….
Yang ye stood upon the boat,carefully stretching his hands out to grasp the floating fishing hook in the air,the boat then started accelerating forward,under an unseen force…
"Time to see what that brat has been up to this past weeks",he smiled thinking about his son.
"I really miss yang xin,she must have been lonely just staying home—I must bring her on the path of cultivation,we shall become an immortal Couple together…",he softly smiled thinking about his loving wife.
He slowly vanished,heading towards the shore on his slow paced boat,which moved eerily without ripples on the water surface.
.....
Tian yi finally went home after weeks of personal training with uncle tian,he had a large iron scaled rhino killed,as a welcome game for his mom and dad,
Having opened up his energy domain,he could finally store objects inside,as far as they posed no threat to him.
He stored the iron scaled rhino,then he and uncle tian moved out,journeying back home…
They quickly arrived,making thier way into the compound,tian yi immediately called out as usual,"MOM!!!",
"I'm homeee",
He detoured and went into the kitchen area,hoping to see her there,but it was empty,it was dark,the windows closed,and it smelled a bit dusty…
Stumbling into the living quarters,he searched her room,but didn't find her there,he then searched his room,but still no sign of her, he began panicking,but thinking about how shut off they were from the rest of the world,he quickly calmed down,knowing she couldn't be in any kind of immediate danger,
After searching virtually everywhere,he went to meet uncle tian,who made a chair out of energy to sit on..
"Uncle tian,I can't find my mother,what should I do,please help look for her",
Scratching his head,uncle tian asked,"how do I find her exact,if I may ask young master",
"Well use your divine sense to scan everywhere,a large range,the house….just scan something old man,arghhhhh",Tian yi was freaking out,his mom was his most loved being,he could not let anything happen to her…
She always took care of him even now that he was far stronger than her,he always loved when his mom dotted on him,his inner child always showed up during those moments…
He began sobbing,"if… if anything happens to my mom,I don't know what I'll do",his little sobs gradually morphed into roaring tears,he was already thinking of the worst possible scenario….
"Young master she's over there,she's all well and fine,follow me",
uncle tian sped up in a particular direction,
Tian yi,looking like he had just heard a heavenly edict to spare his life,immediately followed suit,his heart almost leaping out of his chest in relief…
