Eloquent Ascent

Hours later, Xu Qi sat cross-legged on his bed, the scroll of Celestial Eloquence resting gently in his lap. He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the scroll's power pressing down on him. It was time to begin his journey with this newfound gift.

He could still feel the warmth of Xiao Yue's kiss on his lips as Xu Qi held the Elemental Synthesis pills in his hand, feeling their potent energy pulse against his skin. He placed them carefully on the pouch and turned his full attention to the scroll of Celestial Eloquence.

Unfurling the ancient parchment, he studied the intricate patterns and symbols that danced before his eyes, the very essence of the language of the heavens itself.

"Elder He said no one has managed to cultivate this... I wonder what's the reason?" Xu Qi thought to himself as he began to read in his mind the incantation for its activation.

It wasn't that hard to pronounce and surprisingly, he could read the language, thanks to the memories of the former owner of the body.

As he began to murmur the incantations, Xu Qi could feel the power of the scroll resonating within him, as if the very fabric of his soul was being rewoven.

The words flowed from his mind like a river, carrying him along on a journey through realms of understanding that were previously beyond his grasp.

The scroll of Celestial Eloquence began to glow with an ethereal light, responding to the resonance of Xu Qi's voice. The words danced and swirled before his eyes, each character a gateway to a deeper understanding of the cultivation world. The teachings within the scroll were unlike anything he had felt before, a seductive whisper that seemed to caress his very essence.

As Xu Qi delved deeper into the incantation, he felt the cultivation technique forming within him. His charm and eloquence, his innate abilities to win the hearts of those around him, begin to weave itself into the fabric of his qi.

It was as if he was about to step outside of the conventional cultivation path of being an Elemental Awakener. The cultivation technique recognized his unique gift and adapted to it regardless of his cultivation talent, crafting a new kind of power that was as alluring as it was formidable.

If the essence of being an Elemental Awakener allowed his qi to coalesce and resonate with the primal elements of the world, the Celestial Eloquence allowed him to weave his words into said elements.

And that's just the first realm that corresponds to Elemental Awakener.

Elemental Whisperer.

Upon realizing that, Xu Qi felt a strange shift within himself as the incantation reached its crescendo, finalizing the transformation process of qi. The scroll Celestial Eloquence vibrated with power for the last time, its light enveloping his body as the ancient knowledge sank into his very core. Everything was transferred to him. Most were locked except the first one.

The concept of Elemental Whisperer was born in his mind, a realm that stood apart from the traditional Elemental Awakener. This new realm focused not just on resonating with the elements, but to command it to do his bidding.

Xu Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the power of the Celestial Eloquence pulse within him. He focused on the element of fire present in the candlelight atop the dresser, and whispered an incantation, his voice a seductive caress in the quiet room. The flames grew brighter and quieter, as if listening intently to his words.

'Impressive. But how do I start cultivating this?' Xu Qi wondered as he stared at the now inert scroll. It dawned on him that his usual cultivation practices might not be enough to harness the full power of Celestial Eloquence.

Maybe, it wasn't about resonating and absorbing the inherent qi in the primal elements anymore, but rather speaking to them. Xu Qi had to try.

He stood up from his bed and walked to the balcony of his room, the cool mountain breeze brushing against his skin. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, focusing on the energy around him, and whispered a simple incantation that he had just learned from the scroll.

The air grew denser, the primal elements became more tangible.

The whispers grew into a murmur, a symphony of power that resonated with the primal elements of the world.

"Come. Help me get over this," Xu Qi murmured, persuading the elements with his voice, a gentle coax that seemed to echo through the night.

Sensing their obedience, Xu Qi ordered them to enter his body and become his qi to strengthen and expand his dantian. He felt a warmth spread from his core, filling his veins with the fiery essence of the flame and the gentle caress of the wind. His eyes snapped open as he watched the candles flicker, their flames growing taller and more vibrant. The wind blew harder, as if eager to be a part of him, and he felt a sudden surge of power.

BOOM!

Within his body, his dantian expanded, the warmth of the fire and the vitality of the wind swirling together, creating a tempestuous storm of power. Xu Qi's eyes glowed with the newfound energy, a stark contrast to the serene moonlit night beyond the balcony.

Just like that, he reached the 2nd stage of the Elemental Whisperer Realm. The feeling was indescribable, akin to a river bursting through a dam. He had never felt such a rush of power in his entire life.

'How fascinating. Isn't this revolutionary?'

These were the thoughts that swirled in Xu Qi's mind as he stepped into the uncharted waters of Celestial Eloquence. The scroll lay open before him, its pages revealing secrets that had remained untouched for centuries. The words danced before his eyes, whispering the ancient art of bending reality through speech.

He pondered over the scroll's history, wondering what made it so elusive to others. Perhaps it was the very nature of the cultivation technique itself – too subtle for those who sought power in brute force, too complex for those who couldn't see beyond the literal. Yet, here he was, a former telemarketer from a world that knew nothing of qi or cultivation, now an Elemental Whisperer.
