/ Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 41 Training II : YIN-YANG HEART PROTECTION
TAOIST JUEYAN LINXI: ROYAL SCHOLAR
Night time on the Wudang mountains was mostly cold, but that didn't take the beauty away. Alex was standing under the tree, right at the edge of the mountain peak, looking down at the chasm below. It reminded him of his tree back home, the same tree he and Anya had spent countless hours behind plotting and even training. He felt home sick, as comfortable as this place was he really didn't get that feeling of home he was looking for, he felt out of place.
He was waiting up here for Anya, his mother had come over a few hours later and took her to go get her talent tested. But he's spent quite some time waiting for her, and his patience was already running thin. In that regard, it would be nice for him to try learning the {Wudang Heart Sutra}. Alex took a step forward and sat cross legged as close to the edge of the cliff as he could, the luscious green branches of the tree besides him, seemed to stretch like a canopy, giving the young warrior a protective covering that he would never understand until many years down the line. But for Now, Alex just wanted to open a book.
He spent at least thirty minutes reading through the entire manual, memorizing what needed to be memorized and understanding the concept and perception with the technique. The Wudang heart Sutra was like a dial for a warriors emotions, but that was just a secondary effect. The technique served to put the heart, mind and soul of a cultivator in the most optimum state to become one with the universe.
According to the Sugar, there were at least one hundred and eight know meridian points within the human body. There are actually more, but the ways to discover them are quite rare during the lower levels of cultivation when the perception of cultivator is quite low. So for now all this technique did was teach a cultivator how to draw energy into and through the 108 meridians, activating them, and stroking Qi within them for a little while.
Like the remaining two cultivation skills within the Wudang Sect, the (Wudang Heart Sutra) was divided into three levels of internal achievements. This three levels improved the quality and power of a person's Qi, and tempered their Dao and their internal energies were placed in alignment. These three levels are:
• YIN-YANG HEART PROTECTION
• INNER PILL SKILL
• PURITY WITHOUT LIMITS.
Each of these stages cultivated and strengthened a particular aspect of a practitioners power. But just getting to the first stage alone can take even the most talented of people many years. So for now, all Alex wanted to do was practice, knowledge about the three stages would come to him in time, when he actually reached them.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, first he listened to himself. To his woes, his pain, his anger, he could hear how loud they were as the pounded through his skull and flowed through his blood. His humanity and how it held him back, or rather how he wasn't able to rise above it. He shut it off, leaving his heart and mind silent, an empty.
And then he listened to the world, listened to the power of nature around him, the power of the wind and energy of spirit hidden deeply within it. He could feel the wood of the tree besides him, the power of life and it's extreme essence. Alex knew his connection to the wood element wasn't as strong as the wind and spirit, but he could the toughness of the tree, it's age, it's wisdom. And the strength that it had cultivated to be able to withstand almost a thousand years of assault from nature.
He could feel how deeply entrenched it's roots were, how far deep they went into the cliff, then the peak and then the mountain itself. Suddenly those roots were within his own body. Along the path of each roots were flickering dots of light, however they were dim. In fact it could be said that they were more like torches, and somehow a little of their light has been activated but not yet fully bright. Alex knew that this torches were his meridians, and the reason why they had such small flickering lights was because he was already on the cusp of stepping into the open meridian realm.
The Wudang sect had it's origins from the shaolin temple. That's a piece of information that both the sect and the temple were not really happy about, the temple because they feel the Wudang sect was built by traitors, and the sect because they don't like having their achievements placed on the shaolin temple and their rich history of martial arts.
But the main point was that the Sutra had chants to go along with a breathing exercise, in much the same way most shaolin techniques had chants to go with them. And in the moment Alex began that chant, it was as if the world exploded with light and energy. Alex felt an immediate rush of energy the moment he began, and for a moment he was unable to keep track of the onslaught of Qi as the first four torches lit up immediately and he could feel Qi within his meridians.
Just like that, Alex had stepped into the open Meridian realm, but it was it over as it seemed he was just getting started. Mist started to gather as the Qi around the mountain Peak began to converged on his position and swirl into his body. It was coming too fast for Alex to handle or even control, and it left him feeling quite terrified. Without proper control it was common knowledge that Qi would tear a cultivator apart, but Alex also knew that he had to calm down. There were no gains without risks and no fortune without misfortune, what will be, will be, and it is as the universe says it would. Everything was balanced as it should be, this was the teachings of the sutra and the Wudang Sect, to be able to understand, meld and live right in the confluence of yin and yang.

The Qi within Alex's meridians seemed to exploded outwards into his body as the activated meridians increased to 12. Alex shudders as he seemed to gain am awareness of his body, he could see into it, his veins, his blood vessels, his organs and then finally the organ that drew his attention; His heart.
Bluish-green, yellowish-brown and silver-white energy tendrils seemed to be dancing around his heart, they were bright and vibrant, and the smell of the forest, the wind and a feeling of mysteriousness seemed to coalesce this tendrils of light into an armor that covered the entirety of his beating heart. The armor was jade green and sparkled like it's own miniature sun. And then the light it gave off seemed to be drawn back into itself, turning into a symbol on the armor.
The symbol of a black and white fish chasing each other's tail was shown in the most resplendent manner. Alex knew what he was looking for without needing anyone to tell him. (YIN-YANG HEART PROTECTION)
