The Invincible Corruption Manual

The next morning, Joey wakes up early in the morning. He came out of the bamboo house. On the veranda, he sees his teacher sitting on a chair while looking at the sky. Birds are chirping in the early morning. He seems to enjoy the scenery in the bamboo forest.

He looked at Joey, smiled, and said, " You are late. Go clean your body. Make some tea and bring it here."

Joey nodded and approached the pond. Seeing the pond, he was surprised.

" What is going on? There are many lotuses and many fishes here today." He murmured and looked back at his master. Then, he entered the pound and started cleaning himself. Afterward, he got out of the water and changed into new clothes for himself. Then he went back to the house. Inside the kitchen, he saw all those materials for making tea.

After fifteen minutes, he came out with a kettle and two teacups in his hands. Then he keeps them on the table beside the man. He poured tea into the two teacups and presented one to him.

" Master, please take it."

" Son, sit. Do you have your answer to the questions that I asked yesterday? " He sipped the tea and asked.

" Master, I do. For the first question, my answer is that 'water is life. And for the next question, we can learn many things from it. Water is soft, hard at the same time. It is lifeless but it brings life to every living being. So, I called it life. It doesn't discriminate. It always flows down from higher to lower levels. Meaning we should also help those that need our help. But, sometimes it is very harsh and can even take many lives. In short, we have many things to learn from its nature." Joey replied.

The man nodded and smiled at him.

" Good. Go, exercise, and warm up your body. What do you think about becoming a mortal again?" The man said to him.

Joey then started practicing the tai-chi method. After having no essence qi inside his body, he first struggles to make some moves. He keeps doing those moves again and again. Suddenly he has an epiphany of the tai-chi, he unconsciously practices his moves. This time his movements become natural. The air concentrated around and made a tai chi symbol appear above his head.

The man keeps his cup on the table and looks at Joey.

" This kid is really a genius. I seal all his cultivation for him to know the origin of the simplest things. Good, he has his first epiphany at his first time. " He murmured and a smile appeared on his lips.

After an hour, Joey awakes from his epiphany. Then he stopped and came before his master.

" Thanks, master, I have an epiphany in my Tai-chi technique. " Joey said politely.

"From today onward I will teach you yoga and its philosophy. Alright, I will start from the Sanskrit scripture." He took out a piece of paper and gave it to him.

Then, he started teaching the scriptures. Joey was a fast learner with a photographic memory. So, the man began teaching him yogic knowledges.

For learning yogic knowledge, one needs action instead of just memorizing the theories. So, he just teaches him some theory for a day and reflects on it.

Northern fort, Tang nation

Inside the castle, two ladies are currently drinking and chatting happily.

" Cong'er, did you receive any news about my little brother from the cave?" Tang Mie lien asked while drinking a cup of wine.

" Elder sister Mie lien, we haven't. No report came from there about the 5th prince's arrival yet. Oh, about the report, I just received a letter from the palace. " Zhang Cong said.

Then she gave a letter to her. Mie lien tore the envelope and read the letter carefully.

"It's from my mother. She told me to come with my brother to the palace immediately. Seems like mom has something to tell us. But, Xiao di is still in that place. I will wait for him to go with me." Tang Mie lien spoke and kept the letter inside her space ring.

Then she brought out a paper and wrote something and gave it to Zhang Cong.

"Cong'er send this letter to my mother later." She said, Then, they continued drinking.

Canon city, Tang palace

Inside the courthouse, the emperor Tang Zimo and his prime minister Yi Yin were currently discussing seriously.

" Li Lin, according to the report from Mie lien, that place seems to be another world. What do you think?" Tang Zimo asked.

" Your majesty, it is good that there was no casualty from our side. According to Mie lien, everyone from the four nations pledges to keep this matter a secret and divide the resources there among us equally. It is a good thing but, I suggest you search for the resource there separately." Li Lin suggested.

" What do you think about the 5th prince's issues with the fire nation? Will these matters spark a war between us?" Tang Zimo asked while frowning.

" Even though they have settled the matter among themselves. The fire nation has crossed the line this time. One of their elders tried to kill the 5th prince two times. Chasing him up to the inner zone of the Xinjiang Tianshan forest. Then he tried to kill him again in front of everyone. Their team leader compensates us but if we don't pressure them, everyone will assume us as weaklings. I suggested to your majesty to take this as an advantage and capture one of their cities near our border. " Li Lin said firmly.

" If we capture one of their cities now, will it affect our alliance regarding that world?"

" No, your majesty. Every other nation will not interfere this time when we invade one of their cities. In addition, our relationship with the Fire Nation will become worse even if we remain silent now. They are always in tension with our nation. " Li Lin replied.

" Alright, I have given you the full authority to lead this mission. Go and prepare to take one of their cities near our border. You can report the details later." Tang Zimo writes a royal edict, seals it, and gives it to him.
