There is a saying, "The journey of a thousand miles, starts with one step." Xinh was walking through the Outreach when he thought of this.
It really starts with one thought.
[You forgot the rest that I taught you. Just the thought is also 'wrong'.]
Right. With one 'intentional' thought. My body and mind are one. It is now my Will. And with my body, mind, and heart as one, it is now my Purpose. And I didn't forget really. I am just a bit distracted with counting my steps.
One million.
Xinh stopped and took out his deck of cards from his pocket. He carefully felt it, there was no light here. He took a card out and teared it, slightly. He then felt all around the edges for multiple tears.
He quickly felt all edges and counted the tiny rips. There were about 50. Every millionth step, Xinh teared slightly around the perimeter of the playing card. With 50 rips, he drew a new card to start anew.
It was now the 6th card.
The energy around Xinh was now slightly stronger at this distance and every time he stopped to absorb more Qi, he felt he was getting stronger and faster. Now he was running at a decent speed while counting. Every millionth step, he tore the edge of the card to keep count. It was now the start of the 12th card.
What if theres no end? I lost track of time. I'm still getting stronger. But should I head back?
That's eleven cards, 50 rips around each card for a total of 550.
550 million steps!
I'll go back at the 28th, Since the halfway point is 27 cards in the 54 deck of cards.
It was now the 23rd Card, fresh and new.
1.1 Billion steps!
After the 27th card finished. Xinh felt it. An energy field similar to the entrance and boundary of Earth and the Outreach.
1.45 Billion steps!
I feel atleast ten times stronger than before. I can now absorb the energy while running. I've lost my sense of time.
Xinh followed through on the 'falling' sensation of the new boundary he discovered. He was walking in a straight line the whole time with his feet back to back as measurements.
An immediate sensation of all types of forces bombarded Xinh when he entered this 'unknown space'. He immediately went back into the Outreach. It was his 'safe' space.
Xinh knew exactly where he was the Moon itself. He survived because his body was now atleast 1,000 times stronger than the old him. Before the Outreach appeared.
I can do it for longer. Its a nice sensation. A nice way to temper the body. Don't you think so AtA?
Xinh immediately courted death. This time he stayed for minutes. His entire body was breaking down and being destroyed. Then he immediately returned to the Outreach to 'Heal'. He repeated this cycle endlessly until he reached a point of equilibrium and he could now stand and travel on the moon like it was nothing.
Not bad. I'm now 10,000 times stronger than my old self. I bet I can launch myself off the moon with pure physicality. Lets return to Earth and check the time/date.
[Let's tryout your Burst Step]
Now that I know its just literally walking to the Earth and Moon back and forth its not too bad. Lets see how many times I need to use burst step to cover my measly 1.5 Billions Steps.
Xinh channeled his Qi. He Channeled his Spirit Qi. Mixed the Two. Perfectly. It was silent in the Outreach. But Xinh was like a Comet. 1 Burst Step made him glide across an uncertain distance.
One Burst Step literally covers so much ground I'm scared I might actually overshoot Earth!
1!
2!
...
...
...
15!
There halfway between the 15th. One Burst Step is Equal to 150 million of my old steps. So currently I'm at Mach 100.
Xinh entered the Boundary of Earth and immediately landed in water. The Momentum from the Burst Step immediately vanished. As if it never existed.
Xinh was currently standing on water.
Looks like your method works AtA
[Good job you can now walk on water, looks like your Sage Art is working.]
Xinh was vibrating his entire body at such high speeds and maintaining absolute stillness and control. Allowing him to walk on the 'plane' of Water.
AtA help me, I want to create a new technique. I can now move at Mach 100 speed and pretty much accelerate instantaneously.
Let's go to the Abyss.
[We'll use your 9 Favorite Divine Beasts]
[First the Tortoise, first sink like a rock, expand to your true weight ZiN] - Xinh immediately sank to the bottom of the ocean.
[Let's Enter Our Sefirah Castle now] - Xinh entered his mental realm his mind world. His Sefirot. His Dao Palace.
[Azure Dragon - Aqua Serpent] - I am the King of Hell - I am Qi. - I am Qing. Xinh was like a straight sword diving straight to the abyss of the ocean. Hell.
[Magic Carp - the Golden Kunpeng] I am Spirit - I am Speed - I am Hyperbolic. Xinh's thoughts were an instant. I climb the waterfall.
[Golden Winged Tiger] - I am Ether. I am Real. I am Aether. [Creating Technique...] Xinh already knew how to do it. This will be the best technique at my current level.
[Blue Phoenix] - I am flow. I am rivers. I am oceans. storms. lightning. nirvana is my present and constant. - Lightning Style: Water Wind Senjutsu.
[Pearl Lotus - Monkey Transformation] - I am the Pearl. Abyssal Pearl. Void in Air, Earth, and Water - ZiN will soar in all domains.
[Nine Tailed Water Fox/Water Wolf] - I am the Nine in Body. Mind. Spirit. One in Heart. 7-2-9 Skills Created. - [7 Styles - 2 Dualities - 9 Beasts]

[Burst Step -> Soaring Sound Steps -> Locking -> Encrypting -> SSS Rank -> ??? Technique/Skill/Forbidden]
Xinh immediately dropped to the bottom of the ocean, he then used the entire Earth as a springboard to jump up to the surface. But right before he jumped to the surface he rotated and built up an immense amount of internal torque and he spun to the surface breaking into the high air and atmosphere of the Earth easily. He was instantly dried and he created countless water droplets that spun like lightning needles down towards earth. He then Vibrated and Rotated his arms and legs along with torque and dantian rotation to control his descent and glide through the air indefinitely.
He then expanded and contracted his weight to reach water/land again and he was now skipping like a rock across the water's surface. and also the earth's surface.
Then he started flipping through the air using his hands as feets and feets as hands. Then he started fine tuning it and used extremely fast finger strikes to water surface + earth surfaces to move like an elusive phantom. Then he used his fingers to climb the air itself.
[Soaring Sound Steps -> Evolve to Earthly Immortal Soaring Sound Steps -> EX - SSS Rank -> !!!! Technique/Skill/Forbidden]
[Not bad you can now move like a Shadow even though you break the sound barrier, you pierce and slash like the assassin in the Night]
ZiN then sat on the clouds in stillness, then when the clouds dissapeared he sat on the air itself. He then started moving soaring like a Immortal of Heaven.
[Earthly Immortal Soaring Sound Steps -> Heavenly Immortal Soaring Sound Steps -> H - EX - SSS Rank -> .oOo.]
[You're now like light itself, the air, and in the daylight you can hide in the Light of the Sun, or the Darkness of the Water of the Abyss.]
Not too shabby only took half a day to master. I can use the Normal Technique indefinitely as for the Earthly Immortal Technique I can maintain it for about 30 days straight if I open the 7 Gates and Maintain my Asura + Deva Form. As for the Heavenly Immortal Technique I can only maintain it for about an hour if I use my Ashura Form or the 8th Gate. I also created the Beyond Earth and Heavenly Version but I can't execute it unless I use the Nirvana Gate. Which will lead to my 'Death'. But I can use it for atleast 3 Seconds - 9 Seconds. If I exceed 10 Seconds my current body can't take it. I will literally die because I move too fast for my own good.
So 9 Days passed...since I last left... Not too bad. 9 days ago I was at Mach 1 Speed. I'm now at Mach 100. With my Asura + Deva = Ashura with 7 Gates opened I can increase it to Mach 1000. If I use my 8th Gate - The Other Shore - Ashura - I can attain Mach 3000. And If I use the Nirvana Gate I can attain Mach 9000. No one should be stronger than me... right AtA?
[Who knows]
[Plus you need to still develop a martial arts that accompanies this movement technique]
[Lets make new martial art. [Sublime(Source) Soaring(Sky) Shadow(Soundless)] Style or Sublimity + Soaring + Shadow.]
Another S(S)S(S)S(S)S Rank Art?
Sure but you gotta help me perfect it. Like always.
Xinh immediately went back inside the Outreach and this time he could feel a certain pull.
[Gaia...]
The Spirit of Earth?
Xinh bolted into the center of where Earth should be in the Outreach. He even opened the Nirvana Gate for 0.001 Seconds. And used the Soaring Sound Steps to reach the center and he immediately entered the "blackhole".
It was a place just like Earth yet everything had 'aura' and 'charm'.
This is the Qi of Spirit. Masculine and Feminine. Yang and Yin.
The plants and animal were just like earth but there were no humans and no civilization. The Qi here was abundant. It was overflowing.
This is a goldmine. Untouched land for millions of years???
Xinh was moving as fast as he could normally while absorbing Qi.
What the Hell? This place is bigger than Earth by who knows how much....
The Days and Nights are almost the same...
AtA do you have any idea what this is? This is Earth's Spiritual Plane? Its massive...
I've been here 7 days but I've been going mach 1000. everywhere.
Another week passed and now ZiN finally figured it out.
1 Day Around is 1 Day Forward/Backwards in Time...
1 Week Around is 1 Week Forwards/Backwards in Time....
[Correct this is Gaia's Internal Universe of Spirit]
[It is Earth's Entire History of Space, Time, Fate, Animals]
[This dimension should be as big if not bigger than your 'old' observable universe]
So if I travel far enough I can see the Dinosaurs - Super powered Ones - because the Qi here is getting stronger too just ever so slightly... but they would probably be able to kill me instantly because they are absorbing the qi for a long time. Interesting. The plants here too are aged incredibly. This is a treasure trove.
Also I feel a tethering and connection with it.2 Weeks passed and I'm already at base Mach 300.
He moved back to the Outreach to check on the Moon. And it also had an entirely different Spiritual Universal Plane. As he spent time and absorbed the Qi there he established a tether to it. It took 1 week for Xinh to absorb enough to tether. And he could now Instantly teleport to the Center of Earth and Center of the Moon in the Outreach.
Looks like I gotta check out every planet here and their moons, tether and maybe just maybe temper my body through the raw space/atmosphere of different planets?
This will be fun, getting ripped apart in every part of my body.
[Gate of Pain Open! Gate of Healing Open! Gate of Limit Open! Gate of Joy Open! Gate of Flow Open! Gate of Wrath Open!]
Let's go!!! Time to burn, freeze, break, and remold myself!
hmmm? Hot or Cold? Lets go to Mars!
While ZiN was running towards Mars he was battling inside his mental world vs AtA.
ZiN : [Divine Ashura Form - Golden Tiger Form] vs [Zord Form - The Other Shore - Ashura - Void Pearl Lotus - Monkey Transformation Storm Form] : ATA
Fuck you never go easy on me do you?
[This time you will wish that I will kill you, you will wish for your own Death]
