As everyone dispersed, a palpable sense of urgency filled the air. With newfound motivation, their minds buzzed with possibilities about the future. The adventure that lay ahead sparkled in their eyes as each of them found their focus on the path of cultivation, preparing to unlock mysteries yet uncharted.
Four Eyes held Ling Li’s hand and pulled her to follow him to their room.
"Honey, would you like to soak in the bath while you read?" Ling Li asked
our Eyes when they were about to enter their room.
But instead of answering, Four Eyes pulled her into his arms and started kissing her.
"I miss you." Four Eyes whispered in Ling Li’s ears and carried her to their bed.
"Do you still have other secrets that I don’t know?" Four Eyes asked Ling Li while giving her neck little bites before taking off her shirt.
"Secret? What secret?" Ling Li replied sheepishly.
"Oh, you want to be punished, don’t you." Four Eyes whispered.
Four Eyes, grabbing both Ling Li’s breasts, fondling them with his hand while kissing her.
"Are you not afraid your wounds will break open?" Ling Li mischievously asked.
"You can just stitch it again."
Four Eyes continued kissing her. "I can no longer wait. Dear, may I?"
They made love for several hours until Four Eyes were satisfied and fell asleep with Ling Li in his arms.
While the others were serious about reading their books.
There are seven levels of cultivation and nine stages for each cultivation. With rank one as the start and rank nine as the peak. After every breakthrough to the next level, the cultivator starts at rank 1 of the new stage.
The seven levels are the Gathering Realm, Condensation Realm, True Origin Realm, Spirit Origin Realm, King Realm, Heavenly Realm, and Exalt Realm.
To martial artists, their cultivation is their fundamental basis for everything. If they can’t enhance their cultivation, no matter how great their combat power is, it would not matter. The lives of Martial artists are significantly linked to their cultivation. Thus, absolute strength through cultivation is the fundamental objective.
If one does not cultivate the body, the body will not be stable or robust; an attack will quickly topple it. Motivation and willpower are only sufficient if one cultivates the soul. One cannot reach the distant shores even if their predestined death is imminent. Official source is novel~fire~net
To reach the pinnacle of martial arts, one had to strengthen one’s determination and beliefs. This was because one would have to overcome insurmountable obstacles.
The path of martial arts was as follows: as long as one’s foundation was strong enough, each breakthrough brought immeasurable progress and strength at rapid speeds.
"This is what your Mom said earlier," Shun said while reading the book with Ren.
A foundation must be laid entirely and solidly. A perfect breakthrough is required to break through a boundary.
Gathering Stage Realm
The cultivator gathers the energy in his body, called the ’Qi’ or the ’Essence.’ This stage emphasizes cultivating the True Essence in the dantain. Following the Condensation level, the essence begins to flow into the dantain, accumulating and transforming. At the most extreme levels, one’s energy accumulation would equal the total energy in the universe.
’I wonder how strong my wife is?’ Four Eyes, who started reading after waking up, still couldn’t believe the facts about his wife, shaking his head while thinking about her.
To be a cultivator, one must first go through the six stages of the Body Transformation System: Strength Training, Flesh Training, Viscera Training, Altering Muscle, Bone Forging, and Pulse Condensation.
That process represented the true beginning of the essence-gathering system in the Pulse Condensation realm.
A martial artist formed their meridians at this boundary and could draw energy from heaven and earth via their acupoints. When a cultivator opens the channel of the meridians for true essence to enter, one achieves Pulse Condensation. For most mortal cultivators, the pulse condensation stage is a huge bottleneck, dramatically increasing the rate at which true essence is absorbed compared to the previous boundaries.
The Pulse Condensation realm was the beginning of their martial arts journey. A martial artist’s true essence would flow through their meridians and into their dantian if they had nowhere else to go. A martial artist would need to open the dantian and constantly accumulate energy to prepare for the breakthrough to the next realm.
In a mortal world, the True Origin Realm would be the pinnacle. Having the ability to move the wind and rain as they please, they live a life that even kings desire.
The True Origin Realm Realm occurred when true essence condensed into a cyclone, bringing the rules of revolution with it. There would be order once the true essence within the dantian condensed into a cyclone. The real true essence would increase, making it much easier to control. The True Origin Realm can be attained by creating a whirlpool and an organized system within the dantian.
At the True Origin realm, the disorderly inner energy of the Condensation realm would become orderly. It is said that in the True Origin Realm, one can revert to the state of being born and even consuming pure True Origin air as food after being satiated with Pulse Condensation food for weeks. As a result, the true essence formed and acquired will be more excellent and organized.
In The Spirit Origin Realm, the core shattered and was rebuilt. On the other hand, the laws of the Spirit Origin Realm applied to all parts of the body, dantian, and soul; these parts would be destroyed and refined repeatedly to achieve the Spirit Origin Realm.
After arriving at this realm, a martial artist’s body would be completely soaked in true essence without more space to store.
During breakthroughs, all martial artists would experience a sudden surge of energy around them that constantly developed their inner world seed, slowly strengthening it with heaven and earth energy until the nominal dimension expanded into an ’inner world.’
Spirit Origin is a boundary that transforms one’s dantian into a dimension or inner world. The Dantian would become an inner world after reaching Spirit Origin. The inner world will store true essence that is even greater than before, resulting in an extraordinary leap in one’s true essence.
An inner world seed or a primal minor dimension would be required to break through into the Spirit Origin. In popular belief, it is considered a realm on the road toward Exaltation.
