"Purple Moon, Black Dragon and White Tree scripture!" Xiao Wu stared wide eyed at this mysterious 'brother in all but blood' of hers
"Does brother Cheng possibly know the secret techniques that my clan has guarded for centuries???" She chuckled.
'Even then... Why did he say first scripture? Isn't it just a whole?'
Cheng Hao's smile grew even wider "Of course I do, and it is even an improved version! For now though, you and I will focus on the most important part for now. Do you know why Martial Ways are special?"
Xiao Wu nodded and answered automatically, as if it was something she had already said multiple times before.
"Martial Ways can not only gather its corresponding Qi strands from its surrounding, it can also aid cultivation, speed up enlightenment and, most importantly, appear in battle to fight as an asset for its master"
Cheng Hao whistled and clapped in admiration.
"You truly did study a lot" Xiao Wu blushed at Cheng Hao's remark and quietly accepted the praise that her brother was giving her.
"But you forgot one thing..."
Cheng Hao's whole countenance grew mysterious as he got closer to Xiao Wu, as if he was about to tell her an important secret.
"Martial Avatar and Martial Way Visualization!" Seeing Xiao Wu's confused expression Cheng Hao guessed.
'It probably hasn't been discovered yet in this continent... After all I did learn this from some caged guy in the Nine Heavens...'
Cheng Hao tried to keep it simple "Do you remember that weird tower that surrounded me before? Try remembering the pressure and your impression of it"
Xiao Wu looked into her memories. Yes. She remembered the ridiculous pressure that made it hard to breathe. She remembered the oppressive feeling the tower gave off, as if IT was the master of life and death and, with just a single thought, she could be blown away. She remembered it...
"From your expression, it seems you do. Good, it will be much more easier to explain this way! Now, one of the reasons in my previous explanation I said... No, no need to look into your notes, I will repeat myself for this once. Take new notes instead!" Cheng Hao waited for his sister to take out the utensils needed and resumed
"Why should we risk so much just to form a Pseudo-Core? Well, normally the fact that you get an understanding on how a true core formation works might already satisfy most people, but it would not be enough for geniuses like us! Ok, first! The Pseudo-Core will keep remaining there even after the real Core is formed, so it might as well act as a life saving treasure. Since it will keep accumulating impure energy and Qi expelled from your body and the real Core... Oh? Didn't notice? Check it out later! Now keep listening carefully!"
Cheng Hao cleared his voice and took a sip from a gourd full of wine.
"Aaaah! Where was I? Oh, since it will keep accumulating Impure Qi it won't hold as much power as the real deal, but the difference is that while the true Core must be kept safe at all costs, the Pseudo-Core can be Detonated! This will give you a huge boost in power temporarily!"
Cheng Hao's leaned back and looked upwards
"Think of it, months and years of accumulated power that burst out in a single moment! This now of course won't be as drastic as blowing up the real deal, at least it won't injure you permanently. Of course it will leave some internal injuries, but your life and most of your cultivation will be kept intact and you can just form another Pseudo-Core later... Unfortunately the body can't hold more than one Pseudo-Core and it gets harder to rebuild and it takes longer to regenerate each time"
