Chapter 841: Chi
Chapter 841 Chi
A stiff feeling streamed through Lith's body as he stayed in that stance.
Something was wrong with these arts and as Lith was wondering what it was, something suddenly struck him.
'Ahh... I completely forgot about that because of it being silent for so long,' thought Lith.
'System, you there?'
[Answering Host: The system is online.]
'Good. Tell me, what martial arts is this and why am I feeling stiff?'
[Analyzing...]
[Detecting martial arts...]
[Detecting errors...]
[Analysis complete!]
[Martial Arts: Lone Hegemonic Invisible Arts.]
[Location: Nine Star Celestial System.]
[Error:

— Stiffness of core at the fourth movement.]
'Holy shit...' Lith thought to himself and got down.
There were so many little things he had done wrong in the martial arts. But that was to be expected as he had just found the thing out himself via a deep analysis.
Lith's intellect was the absolute best, but he was not a system that contained a vast library of everything and could answer pretty much anything in a jiffy.
There were bound to be errors and it would take a lot of time to rectify them.
The system that was like a personal computer within Lith was something that complimented him, instead of feeding him everything and powering him up.
The latter thing would be great as Lith would reach the pinnacle of cultivation in just a few years, but that would also take away all the fun of the journey to reach there.
Sometimes, reaching the destination wasn't everything. It was the journey that mattered and Lith knew of this fact really well.
The martial peak was lonely and Lith would have nothing to do once he reached there.
It was for this exact reason did he make the system be silent and answer only when called upon.
Lith had turned it silent at the time during his honeymoon with his wife Emilia. They had reached an ancient city and the system had sent him many notifications regarding that.
Although it was helpful, it wasn't really needed. Lith wanted to explore things himself and get to know them properly.
But, it turns out that some information would be really helpful and there was no need for fully muting the system.
It would have been better for Lith to know about the world he had just entered and make himself acquainted with its laws. He had spent a month researching this and if he had used the system's help, he would've had the information in just a few seconds.
Nevertheless, it was not too big of a deal.
Need is what taught many things and as the need for intel arose, Lith rectified his mistake and focused on the things at hand.
The world he was in was one of the stars in the Nine Star Celestial System.
At exactly what universe or place it was, the system didn't tell Lith. It may probably be because either Lith's cultivation wasn't at the level of knowing the information or simply because the system didn't know about it.
Lith was sure that the reason may be former because the system was really powerful and almost omnipotent. The lust sovereign's inheritance pretty much had all answers so there was no way this system wouldn't know of things.
In any case, Lith was in the Nine Star Celestial System and how far it was from his world or what exactly was its location wasn't mentioned.
It was useless information, but at least the martial arts information the system handed out was useful.
The entire martial arts manual was shown by the system and Lith found out that this art was a bit peculiar with its ability.
Turns out, this didn't need any elemental energy or spiritual power to work. Instead, what the arts did ask for was the physique in general to strengthen and have a particular element within it called 'Chi'.
Chi was a vital life force but not something that was available in every world.
In Lith's own world and the dimensions attached to it, there were no signs of Chi, hence there were no records of it anywhere.
Upon studying this new element further, Lith was amazed to find out that it was in abundance in this world, but not directly available for use like the twelve elemental energies back at home.
Chi was compressed into fruits and even body fluids. It was for this exact reason why the people here had such a strong physique unknowingly.
Quiv, Omus, breast milk... all of this contained good amounts of Chi within it and when body fluids were being talked about, it was only natural for the love nectars to be included in it as well.
Sweat and urine weren't considered to have Chi and that was to be expected since they weren't body fluids but rather, waste products instead.
That being said, it was no wonder why Lith wasn't able to win against any of the four elders or Milia yet.
He had regularly sparred with them in the last one month, but winning was still nowhere to be seen.
Lith understood the reason why now and also came to realize a shocking truth.
For the past thirty something days, he had been regularly injecting them with his seeds and that made them stronger than ever.
While he himself only improved slightly due to just relying on the fruits and having nothing else. Lith didn't consume the breast milk of the Kurois since he didn't prefer something that was commercially available for everybody.
Lith was a true man of culture and liked to have his milk right from the source, and also from a woman that belonged to him solely.
Having it from the Kurois was uncomfortable, but now that he saw the pros outweigh the cons, he had to reconsider drinking some.
Lith still wouldn't drink the Kuroi's milk though. He would just have any of the five ladies here get the milk spell cast on them and start producing milk.
The milk part aside, the love nectars of these ladies had to be taken into consideration before doing that.
If those fluids were better than milk, then Lith would skip on the milk maybe and just have those.
Chi was very much needed for his cultivation as it was probably the only means of survival in this world for now.
Another question popped up in Lith's mind while he was at it.
If the village people were so strong in this world due to their diet, then how strong would the people in major towns be?
If there were nobles and royalties here, then how strong were they?
This thing had to be given attention as it wouldn't end well with Lith if someone decided to invade this village or attack him.
Lith was walking on a thin rope in this new village and one mistake could cost him dearly. Although he wouldn't truly die, the embarrassment would be too much for him to bear.
His elder sister Lucy had gone to a foreign world and despite having similar conditions of having her cultivation sealed at the start, she managed to make her way to the top somehow and began to dominate the whole world.
By no means was Lucy a fragile girl. She may seem gentle and caring when around Lith, but her true self was far scarier than what one could even think of.
Not only Lucy, all of Lith's ladies had their original personalities suppressed when with Lith.
It was as if Lith was a switch that flipped their personalities and changed them to be more submissive and loving when with him.
Whatever the case be, it would be slightly embarrassing to lose to his elder sister.
Nevertheless, after knowing that Chi was the important factor, the other shocking thing he came to realize was that he would've died in Keffir's hands, had he not sparred with the ladies.
Lith's instincts to train were right as soon as he arrived in this world. The fruits as well as sparring sessions with the ladies had made him stronger. Had he not done that, he really would've died.
While brooding over this fact, Lith turned to look at the tied up Keffir and sighed. The teachings of his mother, sister, and wives had come in handy at this point.
They had all taught him to always search for ways to strengthen one's cultivation when in a new world. That was the most primitive way of survival.
Lith spent the next two days simply correcting and training in the martial arts called Lone Hegemonic Invisible Arts.
He didn't have much of a need for this since he could turn invisible the moment he had a connection with the elemental affinities, however, they were useful in harnessing Chi and spreading them to each and every cell of his body.
Martial arts caused tears in the body and to repair them, Chi was used. Thus, the more one trained, the more tears they would have and the more Chi they could absorb, thereby becoming stronger than ever.
Once the martial arts session was done, Lith stretched his body in a tired manner and walking close to Keffir, stuffed a Quiv in his mouth and said,
"I'm gonna overlook the fact that you tried to kill me. It's simply because I learnt a lot because of you. You're not dying anytime soon, so cheer up."
Without looking at his response, Lith yawned and walked out of the training building.
He was hungry as well as sleepy.
It was hence time to go see his maids of this world and punish them for no particular reasons.
