"Wow~~now that was a good bath"
Xiao spoke out loud as he stretched his body and dressed up after a warm and relaxing bath, it's been a few hours since the trial had finished and he had shown outstanding performance and as long as he awakens a good talent he will be a seeded candidate in the family
As Xiao finished dressing he went towards his bed, laying down he started to think about his next plans, after the trial he had got the attention of the elders, sadly along with it he had earned the attention and some animosity from the older kids, it would be okay till he awakens his talent
For now, they would only mark the kids that might become a challenge for them, after all, when the new kids grow up they would be taking the limelight from the older one's, so they have to be careful of who they want to mess with
'Sigh.....why's it always so complicated'
Xiao lamented as he laid on his bed with a tired look, his body was truly tired from the fights and constant lookout for trouble and when the test had finished he had to deal with his overly excited and proud mother, though his sister coming up to him and hugging him did heal his fatigue a bit
"I must get my hands on the pill of reform soon"
Xiao spoke with an at most serious expression, his eyes glazed over as he started thinking about the pill of reform, the one thing that could help him remove his fate, he had read about this pill in the novel, back then he could only curse the idiots who destroyed this only treasure
Xiao raised his hands as he gripped his fingers tight, in the world of the four heavens, everybody is born with a limit called talent, no matter what your body would only be able to cultivate and reach a cultivation talent that was bestowed upon you
Of course, nothing is impossible to change in this world, in fact, there are several supreme treasures spread across the heavens that might help one to increase your own talents but each of the treasures is extremely rare and in the hands of powerful people that Xiao right now can not dream to face off
Plus even then these treasures would only increase it, it won't remove the restriction that was placed on his body due to the talent he was born with, and each of it relates to the cultivation you can achieve, for example, the level of cultivation in here the lowest plane is:
>Body Refinement Realm(9 levels)(Lifespan:120 years)
>QI Refinement Realm(9 levels)(Lifespan:150 years)
>Foundation Establishment Realm(9 levels)(Lifespan:200 years)
>Martial Spirit Realm(9 levels)(Lifespan:300 years)
>Core Forming Realm(3 levels)(Lifespan:500 years)
>Mortal Core Realm(3 levels)(Lifespan:800 years)
>Earth Core Realm(3 levels)(Lifespan: 950 years)
>Heaven Core Realm(3 levels)(Lifespan: 1000 years)
These are the major cultivations in the lower realm, the one after the Heaven Core Realm is the Nascent Realm but if one breaks through it, then they are forced to ascend to the higher heaven, they won't be able to stay at the lower heavens
Of course one can even rise to the higher realms by walking through the Heavenly stairs that is within the Heavenly Tree, the Heavenly Tree is spread across the entire four heavens, it was there since the beginning of time, its branches and leaves hold the smaller and lesser dimensions, it's what everyone believes
All in all, it's not something that anybody would dare to mess with, be it the immortals of the highest heavens or the gods that live at the top, but it's not easy to climb the Heavenly Path if you are not talented to match that heaven you won't be able to climb it, the only thing you would achieve is perishing
In the four havens everything comes down to talent and he Xiao was born with Mortal Core Realm talent, it was above average and a good one to leave a powerful and steady life in the lower heavens but to the upper realms he was trash, sure having Mortal Core Talent doesn't just mean that you could only cultivate to Mortal Core Talent, you could definitively exceed it, otherwise how would have he in his first life climb till the third heaven?
But the price to do so is beyond someone's imagination, sure he had exceeded it but his level of strength was trash, heck even a newborn baby of the third heaven would be able to beat him black and blue in the past and that is what limits his talent
With his talent, it would be smooth sailing for him till The Mortal Core Realm but to go above that it would take him 100 times the effort of someone born with that talent and if he did exceed the talent placed on his body, the power would be less than the one that was born with the power to reach it
That's what had happened in his first life, using those evil techniques he rose his cultivation sky high, he did both unspeakable things to reach the top, after the loss of his mother, he had entered a dark place in his heart which only desired for strength and in the end, it was his demise, he was just a puppet playing to others will, both arrogant and stupid
In the four heavens, there are other ways in which power is derived, we have bloodlines, special physiques, heavenly treasure's that increases either your power or your luck, heavenly eyes that let you see what others can't, and much more weird power that one can't imagine and he Xiao had gotten to know about all this when he had read the Heavenly Opposers
And among them, the one treasure that could completely change him is the pill of reform, be it any other treasures it would only increase his potential to a certain position but the pill of reform completely removes the shackles of his powers, in other words, he won't have an ending!
Of course, the pill won't suddenly make you a genius nor would it increase your talents, it would just remove the 'shackles' of talent that binds him, in other words, if before he would only reach the Mortal Core Realm and would have to work hard to reach the rest realm, then after eating that pill, he would only need the average time and his powers won't be lessened when he reaches a level above his talent!
He would have the same level of average strength as the one who had the talent to reach the same realm, unlike before where his strength won't be compared to the one with talent's above him! such a pill goes completely against the heavens since it completely paves the path for him without an end, theoretically, he could go to be strong as the heavens themselves!
But then again it would only give his body the average strength of the higher realm talent he reaches, it won't suddenly give you higher level qi nor would the difficulty of 100 times effort change but it doesn't matter, just getting rid of his shackles is the first thing that Xiao needs as for the rest, he could always find the treasures he read about and take it for himself first, of course, he would do it in a moderate pace and would make only sure to take those that won't affect the future heavily and even just those would change him completely!
