I have learned the Heavenly Steel Saber Technique and gained inner energy. I have also mastered the latter eighteen forms of the Heavenly Steel Saber Technique, a supreme secret art, and learned the Jade Spring Sword Technique and the Immortal's Leisurely Ten Thousand Swords.
I had trained diligently, but this was the first time I had felt such a mental image. I had heard vague talk about reaching a state of breaking through a wall, but this was a bit different from those things.
Each time I replayed one of Heo Geuk's forms, which moved like a venomous snake, the Primordial Chaos Unified Qi Art would activate on its own, following the path of circulation. Of course, this was not happening in reality. My body was still sitting cross-legged, not even a finger twitching.
It was all happening inside my head and body. It was as if the Heo Geuk in my memory had dipped an invisible brush into my energy core and, drawing out my ink-like inner energy, was painting the forms with a single, fluid stroke.
The mental image, which had repeated itself dozens, hundreds of times using my body as a canvas, gradually faded as if its color was draining away. I gathered the Primordial Chaos Unified Qi Art, which was now only circulating and no longer activating on its own, back into my energy core and opened my eyes.
