The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 55: Dao Qi

The tension arise as soon as Ye Ming raised the condition that he sought to travel to the Lower World.

"Why would you want to visit the inferior worlds?" Ye Qing Lei remained composed and asked. Nevertheless, it was clear that her tone contained a trace of disdain when mentioning the Lower World.

If her son wished to learn something in the Lower World, then that would be the biggest joke.

Within the Eternal Celestial Dimension, what can’t Ye Ming learn or experience?

It was ridiculous to even try to look at the mortal’s insight.

After all, she could easily concoct a pill to let Ye Ming fully experience those tribulations and trials as many times as he wished.

"There was an arrogant cultivator who injured the Heavenly Eye and attempted to split open the sky." Ye Ming explained in a calm tone. "I wanted to see the world for myself and see what made them think they could injure the Heavenly Eye."

"Eh, but you can just perceive it through the Heavenly Dao." She responded, clearly unconvinced by the explanation.

"Then how about I do another soul traveling and you can just perceive me through the soul?"

"How can that be the same!"

Almost immediately, Ye Qing Lei lost her composure when Ye Ming brought up the topic of attempting the same ploy he did.

However, it didn’t take her less than 3 seconds to realize she had fallen into his trap.

’Wait a second...’ She pursed her lips and wanted to retract her statement.

Alas, it was still a little bit too late.

"See, even Mother agrees that perceiving through another scope is different than perceiving it personally." Ye Ming smirked evilly. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"..."

Silent, Ye Qing Lei knew how stubborn her son was. After all, his stubbornness was definitely genetically related to her stubbornness.

Suddenly, Ye Qing Lei realized something.

"Wait a second," she raised an eyebrow and glared at him. "You’ve been planning this for a while, right? You behaved like you didn’t want to learn alchemy, but still managed to grasp the mini version of Celestial Flame in an instant. You’ve been wanting to learn all along and snatch one of my flames."

In response to her accusation, Ye Ming chose to make the ultimate move.

"No comment." He declared, choosing to stay silent and remain safe from any possible crimes that might be pinned on him. By going silent, there was no way he could self-incriminate himself.

Alas, Ye Ming still forgot that he was no longer on Earth. He was in the cultivation world where strength reigns supreme!

"No comment, right?" Ye Qing Lei curled her lips upward and stretched her neck gently. "Maybe it’s time for my son to learn a little bit of lesson and be in seclusion."

Almost immediately, Ye Ming realized her so-called seclusion was in fact called being grounded.

"Let’s all take a deep breath, alright?" He raised his hands and explained, "I just wanted to see the Lower World for myself and do some flexing. You know... it’s hard to flex here when my parents are literally number 1."

"Forget it. I can’t stop you even if I try." Ye Qing Lei pursed her lips and gave up. She could easily stop him by force. But as a mother, who uses force on their child unless they committed a grave offense?

Moreover, she was certain that his explanation was still concealing a majority part of his objective.

Although she wasn’t quite certain of the word, flex, she was certain that it was something equivalent to boasting or bragging.

Did he need to boast or brag?

Absolutely not!

If anything, his display at the Clan Hall was already a massive boast, to say the least. After all, no one other than him could be eligible to turn a celebration event into a punishment event.

Hence, it was impossible for his desire to simply be about boasting. There was definitely something else that he didn’t want her to know. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to the cheap diversion tactic again.

"Thank you, Mother." Ye Ming bowed his head.

"Anyway, tell me how did you manage to subdue it." She shook her head and returned the topic to alchemy.

"Ah, you already gave me the technique," he calmly explained.

As the two began their conversation, Qing Lan, on the other hand, glanced at the tray in her hand.

’The food’s going to go cold soon.’ She thought to herself. In the end, she decided to warm the tray with her qi and patiently wait for the two to finish.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qing Lei was finally finished with the alchemy conversation.

"Anyway, I didn’t expect you to grasp them this well." She said in a somewhat shocking tone.

’Obviously, I wrote a crap ton about this type of scenario in my novel. I have to actually research them to make some sense.’ Ye Ming wanted to say those words aloud but refrained from doing so.

He wasn’t going to act like the villain who constantly courts death.

"It’s all thanks to Mother’s effort." He clasped his hands and gave the credits to her.

Although Ye Qing Lei knew he was just flattering her, she still expressed a bright and warm smile.

"Alright, no need to flatter me. You should now work on your cultivation if you want to go to the lower world." She then declared.

Toward this sudden declaration, Ye Ming sighed softly.

"Mother, I don’t want to cultivate spiritual qi." He said calmly.

And he continued, "There are many types of qi in this world, but most tend to cultivate spiritual qi. Following that would be true qi, fight qi, sword qi, and others. But none of them mentioned about Dao Qi."

"Dao Qi?"

"Yes, Dao Qi as in the Heavenly Dao."

Startled, Ye Qing Lei didn’t expect her son to be spouting such a statement. Indeed, there were many qis in the world, and many cultivators began their journey with spiritual qi.

Afterward, they would then build their qi foundation slowly and incorporate new ones.

’Dao Qi huh.’ Ye Qing Lei pondered over this particular qi.
