Qi Sense

After reading over the book a few times, Sam understood how to complete the first step, but in order for him to be able to do that, he needed to first find his dantain.

He knew it was somewhere around the abdominal area but he did not know how to look for it. The only hint he had was that he needed to sense the Qi in his dantain.

But Sam couldn't sense Qi, his body was naturally able to absorb Qi and convert it into Ki, which was basically the same thing but Ki was more destructive and easily manipulated.

He knew that Qi should have a similar method for it to be sensed, so he focused on his Ki, which was abundant in his body. He wanted to sense his Ki and then try to sense his Qi.

Slowly focusing on his body, Sam started to release his Ki. Bit by bit the aura around the room started to change, Sam's ki was being released slowly covering the whole ship.

The instant Sam's ki appeared on the ship, all the members of the Sword sect felt it, they weren't able to sense his Ki but instead were being suppressed by it. Nobody on board was able to move an inch, his Ki was placing too much pressure on them. This pressure increased based on the individual Qi sense, the higher the person's Qi sense was, the more they felt the weight behind this ominous aura.

In their minds, it seemed like one of the Master stage cultivators were breaking through to becoming a Grand Master stage cultivator, but that was due to the Sword sect member not actually witnessing a Master stage breakthrough to Grandmaster stage. Such breakthrough wasn't as grand as what was happening right now, a Master becoming Grand Master might have caused a few thunder claps but was not able to suppress a whole area.

Only the 5 Masters knew what truely was happening, they felt like Sam was breaking through a stage but its power was way above them to even understand what stage would result in such phenomena, but they were not worried about such thing currently, each brother was feeling their own breakthrough, each advancing a level or two in their cultivation.

The suppression caused by Sam's Ki had caused them to quickly breakthrough but the one who truely had major benefits from this was the 1st Master, he was already at the 10th level of Master stage, so this pressure allowed him to breakthrough successfully and his tribulation was suppressed by Sam's Ki, so there was no backlash and nobody noticed him breaking through.

"Finally!!!", Sam yelled in excitement, it had taken a while for him to be able to sense his Ki, which was still quite fast due to the abundance of his ki.

Sam slowly retracted his Ki, he was able to release and control his Ki instinctively due to being a Saiyan but he was not able to sense it.

What he needed to do now was completely erase the existence of his Ki so he could pick up on his Qi. Which was gonna be way harder than sensing his Ki, his Ki was able to easily be sensed as it was to the point of being physically touched when he released it but his Qi, it would be a challenge, the difference between his Ki and Qi was going from an apple to an atom.

His Ki sense needed to be trained at a high level in order for him to sense his Qi. The only way he thought he could do that was by slowly reducing his Ki and practice.

Sam went in a frenzy of reducing the amount of ki he had, he would reduce his Ki to a point where he could not sense it anymore, then try to sense it again. He kept on doing that to increase his sensitivity to Ki.

It took awhile for his Ki to be even comparable to his Qi, but once that was achieved Sam's Ki sense had become very sharp but while doing that his Ki control had also insanely increased.

He had spent 5 days on just increasing his Ki sense but after those 5 days he no longer needed to try sense Qi, his sense had became sharp enough to sense the heavenly Qi in the surrounding enter his body and become Ki. He focused on the heavenly Qi, until he was able to sense Qi and once he was able to do that he no longer needed to train his Ki sense. As now he could sense Qi, Sam thought he had to train his Qi sense now but it seemed like his Ki and Qi sense were the same. He had trained in sensing Ki enough to the point that now that he knew how to sense Qi, his Qi sense shot up at the same level.

The Ki in Sam's Body had been completely erased, and with his increased Qi sense, Sam was immediately able to sense the source of Qi in his body.

"What the..." As soon as Sam focused on the Qi source, his soul was pulled out, and the next instance he opened his eyes, he was in a white space, filled with nothing but a drop a Qi.

Sam instantly knew where he was, he was in his dantain. Seeing the drop of Qi in his dantain surprised Sam. His Qi seemed to be non-existent. The only reason he didn't think anything of his Qi previously was due to him comparing it to his Ki but seeing it in front of him, he was a bit disappointed as it truely was non-existent.

His dantain was a white sphere, with a drop of Qi at the bottom, while standing in mid air, Sam was able to sense every corner of his body. He could sense his Ki and even control it from here.

While sensing his Ki, Sam focused it around his dantain. In the book, it said that in order for one to move their dantain, a powerful cultivator had to forcefully pull it with their Qi but Sam did not need a powerful cultivator. He was able to do it himself, he felt his Ki cover his dantain and slowly pull it.

His dantain was not a physical thing, but instead it was a intangible realm only touchable by Qi.

His dantain moved a bit but before he could even move it another inch, Sam felt a stinging pain in his head. The pain wasn't enough to make Sam scream but it was still unbearable. Which forced Sam to change the force he was pulling it at.
