Today, he decided to try again.
Holding the Essence and Guarding the One, he sank his shoulders and dropped his elbows, relaxing his waist and tucking his hips. His mind guided the Power of Order out of his sea of consciousness. Following the routes he had designed countless times, it flowed slowly toward his limbs and bones.
But this time, he didn't rush to begin practicing like before. Instead, he stood still, carefully sensing every detail as the Power of Order flowed through his body.
That power surged from his sea of consciousness, flowing along his arms to his shoulders, from his shoulders to his chest, from his chest to his waist and abdomen, and finally dispersing into his limbs.
However, that feeling of sluggishness remained. The sense that he was "missing something" was still there.
He closed his eyes, recalling the scene he had witnessed during that True Enlightenment.
