Cultivating the Body and the Heart

Mount Paozu!

"King Kai Fist!!!"

A furious roar echoed from the valley. Looking closely, Raditz was attempting to use King Kai Fist!!

The white aura surrounding him gradually turned red, and his long hair rippled with the surging energy!

Bang!!!

His muscles instantly bulged, and he appeared to have grown a size larger!!

"Yes, that's it. Steady now, control your ki, let it ignite your cells, and divide rapidly!" Sun Wukong instructed from the side.

"Hah, Yah!!"

Boom!!!

The ground erupted in billowing dust from his ki, like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake!

Success!!

If they had scouters, they would see that Raditz's current power level had reached 180,000!

It was his first time using it, and he wasn't proficient yet, so a drop in power level was normal!

Once he mastered it, he should be able to reach 200,000!

"Such a powerful technique!! Kakarot!" Raditz exclaimed with joy.

"How does it feel?? How long can you maintain it?" Sun Wukong asked excitedly.

"If I'm fighting at full power, I can maintain this state until my stamina runs out!! But if I double it, I probably won't last long!" Raditz replied.

"It seems you need to train your ki properly! This is only double!" Sun Wukong said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Kakarot, how many times can you control it now?" Raditz asked, somewhat surprised.

Sun Wukong slowly extended his palm, then suddenly clenched his fist: "Ten times. Fighting at full power, I can maintain it until my stamina runs out!!"

"Nani?? Ten times?? Impossible!!" Raditz couldn't believe his ears.

"This is because you haven't trained your ki to the point of mastery! In this regard, your talent is simply terrible," Sun Wukong said with a frown.

"Dad, it's not his fault!"

A voice came from behind him. The two turned to see Son Gohan slowly walking towards them!

"Gohan? What do you mean by that?" Sun Wukong asked, looking at him in confusion.

"Dad, he's different from you. You grew up on Earth, where the natural environment is relatively peaceful. Plus, you hit your head when you were little, so you don't have the inherent brutality of a Saiyan! With Grandpa Master Roshi, Kami, and Mr. Popo's proper guidance, you've taken a much smoother path than us!"

"But Uncle grew up fighting across the universe with Vegeta, always on a path of slaughter. The killing intent, the malevolent aura, and the resentment from those they killed have all fueled that inherent brutality. Controlling and using ki is simple, after all, they are a warrior race, but to apply it with mastery, to reach your level, it will likely take a long time to cultivate!" Son Gohan explained why it was difficult for Raditz to master the application of ki.

Raditz nodded upon hearing this, clearly agreeing with Son Gohan's words!

"Exactly! That kind of ki you mentioned, which operates in sync with one's consciousness, is as difficult as reaching the heavens!!" Raditz said, feeling wronged.

"Difficult?? Not difficult??" Sun Wukong clearly didn't believe it.

"Are you kidding me?? I tried training your way, and that ki was like a rebellion, completely disobedient! If I hadn't suppressed it with my killing intent, it wouldn't have cooperated with me at all!!"

Raditz became even more displeased!!

"Dad, Uncle, please release your original ki and condense it into your palms!" Son Gohan instructed them.

Hum!!

A golden, pure aura rose in Sun Wukong's hand!

In Raditz's hand was a pale white aura!!

"Dad, Uncle, look closely, and sense with your hearts. What's the difference between your two auras!"

Sun Wukong closed his eyes and focused on sensing the aura in Raditz's hand.

Raditz also went to sense Sun Wukong's aura.

The difference was that Sun Wukong's brow furrowed, while the malevolent energy on Raditz's face slowly dissipated.

"Peaceful, serene, and an extremely pure battle intent!" Raditz said.

"Resentment, killing intent, and brutality!!" Sun Wukong exclaimed.

They both spoke simultaneously!! Then they opened their eyes.

"So that's how it is. Gohan, you were right!" Sun Wukong sighed.

"Gohan, is there a way to solve this?" Raditz asked, a little worried.

"Two ways!!" Son Gohan held up his fingers.

"First, abandon killing and cultivate peacefully on Earth for ten years, using Earth's peaceful and serene ki to eradicate the resentment and malevolence within you!!"

"This method? It's a bit unrealistic!" Although Sun Wukong was simple-minded, he knew this method wasn't very suitable for Saiyans.

As a warrior race, asking them to abandon killing and fighting was clearly a pipe dream!

"Second, kill... Killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand makes one a hero, and massacring a million makes one a hero among heroes!! Unleash your original killing intent to its extreme, and use your powerful killing intent to suppress the unruly ki within you!" A chilling killing intent appeared on Son Gohan's immature face, making his words even more terrifying!

"Gohan, your method is too cruel. A slight misstep and you'll become a demon! No, absolutely not!" Sun Wukong directly rejected Son Gohan's second method!

"Gohan!! Although I don't mind killing people..." Raditz was clearly startled by his words.

"You two are overthinking it. What you usually do is follow Frieza's orders and commit murder. Good and evil, right and wrong, make no difference to you. But when I say kill, I mean kill the extremely wicked! Kill one to save ten thousand, kill or not kill? Save one and harm ten thousand, save or not save? If your heart holds justice, killing is not necessarily evil. If your heart holds evil, saving is not necessarily good! This is the rule of karma: sow good seeds and reap good fruit, sow evil seeds and reap evil fruit! When you worked for Frieza, how many races lost their homes and became refugees? Don't just think about the resentment of the dead; even the living hate you. Don't think it's nothing. It's precisely these resentments that will affect you in the unseen world! But if you help these people, protect them, and kill the extremely wicked who destroy their homes and planets, they will sincerely thank you. Their goodwill and gratitude will also offset the resentment in your aura!"

Son Gohan was absolutely right. Although this world appears to be a dog-eat-dog world, there are actually laws in the universe!

Although what he said cannot be seen or touched, it truly exists!

Just like the God of Destruction, who on the surface is responsible for destroying planets indiscriminately, regardless of good or evil!

But his deeper purpose is to maintain the normal development of the universe and guide it in a better direction! This can be seen from the link between his life and the Supreme Kai!

As for certain gods destroying normally developing planets out of anger because they didn't eat or sleep well, that's just an isolated case. After all, there are countless planets, and destroying a few is harmless!

Back to the main topic.

"Gohan, I kind of understand what you're saying now!" Sun Wukong had killed quite a few people in his life, but like Son Gohan said, he killed them to save others!

Therefore, he had no burden in his heart, and even now, his aura was exceptionally peaceful, without a trace of resentment or malevolence! Cultivation is the cultivation of the heart!

"Gohan, I agree with the method, but how do we achieve it?" Raditz understood some things after Son Gohan's explanation.

"This matter needs to be handled gradually; the time is not yet right!"

Son Gohan already had an idea in his heart!
