Chapter 165 - Martial States
"Tiandi State?" Bai Rouyun frowned. She had been roaming the world in the past, but she never felt as she did now, and the term that Little Chu had just used was foreign to her.
Little Chu was not surprised that Bai Rouyun did not know of this state, and he gestured for her to take a seat. Explaining the martial states would take some time.
Bai Rouyun sat down, but her eyes stayed on Little Chu, curious about what he had to say.
"The martial states are extremely rare," Little Chu began. "There are numerous martial states, and they vary from person to person. I would not be so sure as to what martial state you had gained if not for the fact that your aura has begun merging with the heavens and the earth.
"The martial states will be able to help the owner in various ways. One could be the Blood Field, which is able to allow the owner to unleash an aura of bloodlust, that can affect the opponent's mindset during a fight.
"There are martial states which can boost one's strength suddenly, and there are quite a few more different states, but the most envied state is the Tiandi State."
Little Chu looked at Bai Rouyun as if he was looking at a monster. How could this little girl gain the Tiandi State so quickly? Others were wishing for it for their entire lives, but this little girl gained it just like that.
Bai Rouyun's eyes were full of contemplation. She did have a martial state in her past life then, but she had never known what it was. She could erupt with a berserker-like energy, but while it would make her strength much higher, it would also drain her energy faster.
She had never known what the cause of this strange skill that had appeared suddenly was, but now she understood that it was a martial state.
"Then what does the Tiandi State do?" she could not help but ask with a frown, and Little Chu smiled slightly. He had waited for her to ask.
"The Tiandi State is the most illustrious martial state. This state is also known as the Heaven and Earth State; it is a state where the owner ends in harmony with the world around them.
"You will feel a closer connection with the world around you, including the energy that you need to refine into Qi. You will be able to draw in the energy in the air and use it for your own. While it will not be obvious with your current strength, it will help you a lot the stronger you get.
"There are many things in the Tiandi State which are still unknown, as only a handful of people owned it in the past. Those who owned the Tiandi State would never reveal all of the trump cards that it possessed.
"However, one thing is known about this Tiandi State. The requirements for one to gain the Tiandi State are to feel at peace with one self, and in balance with the world.
"One does not need to be good or evil, but they need to accept themselves as who they are, and accept the world as it is. This, in itself, is somewhat hard. Not many are able to see the world as it is without tainted glasses, as they will be influenced by their own emotions.
"Although we know how to get to this Tiandi State, it does not mean that we are capable of getting it.
"To be able to gain it now is truly a blessing. I hope that you will be able to grow with it, but do not let anyone know about your martial state."
Little Chu glanced at Bai Rouyun with a bit of worry in his eyes. "The Tiandi State is heaven-defying. Everyone who has it is a genius who goes against the heavens, and others fear those who excel.
"If others find out that you have been blessed to gain the Tiandi State, many will come and try to assassinate you, especially the stronger factions, and the geniuses who will feel threatened."
Bai Rouyun nodded her head as she was deep in thought. She was not worried that others would know about her having the Tiandi State; as long as she did not tell anyone about it, they would not be able to guess.
While Little Chu could recognize it, that was mainly due to her explanation. Even though he would notice that she had changed, he would not know about the reason behind her change.
Little Chu felt relieved when he saw Bai Rouyun acknowledging his advice.
The two had their own thoughts, and Bai Rouyun just shook her head. She smiled and decided that this sudden lightness in her body was extremely comfortable, and since it would help her in the future, there was nothing to fear.
Looking around, her eyes, which had just brightened, suddenly dimmed again. She was reminded that Li Moyun had left for something important, and while he had not told her what it was, she understood that it was very critical, or he would not have left her so suddenly.
Little Chu noticed Bai Rouyun's eyes dimming, and he could not help but shake his head with a wry smile on his face. Although she was very independent, it was clear that Li Moyun was very important to her.
Little Chu could not help but feel relieved. Knowing that his newfound sister and his master had a good relationship was truly making him feel gratified. Two of his most important people were together and protecting one another, and he would stand in the shadows and protect the two of them and their happiness.
"Little Chu," Bai Rouyun suddenly called out, causing Little Chu to lift his head. "Let us find Qin Huiling, and go out to eat and drink!"
