When the matter had passed. Ai had managed to make himself a little spot away from Wang, who now was being ignored for his actions.
The large beast seemed to ignore the human along with the fox, and they began to talk to one another. Ai found out a great deal of things about this Realm. It was a part of the Upper realm that had somehow gotten 'lost' and ended up stuck here.
This space had been a lesser area of the upper realms where most of the 'weaker' beasts had lived. When they ended up stuck here, they found that to leave, they needed to find a way to get rid of the barrier that barred anything inside from going out.
The issue was not many of the beasts here got alone with one another, so they had no idea how to break the barrier. Nor did the care to find out. Each beast had its own territory and any stupid 'humans' that managed to find a way in would thus be used as food. If no one entered, then they just ate the smaller life that had managed to get and grew in population.
Because the Spirit beast from the upper realm was smarter than most beasts, It didn't take much effort to allow the newer beasts to come in to find area's to populate. This would in turn allow a future food supply to be formed. So long as they only ate when needed, and allowed the population to continue to grow, they wouldn't starve.
The other points Ai had found was that this space would actually be really good for him. With the higher Realms spiritual Energy that gathered here, not only was his body being purified from the impurities of the lower realm, but his base was being stabilized. There were also many fallen ruins that would hold a great deal of treasures that would help not only Ai, but Wang cultivate further down the road to immortality.
It was here that Wang's guesses had been turned to reality. It seemed that the realms they had thought they knew were only the lower realms main levels. There were further cultivation ranks, and the power between them was like heaven and earth. Many thought that Wang had reached the apex of his cultivation and wouldn't be able to progress. But that wasn't the case.
This was only the beginning of a long road ahead.
Spirit Beast and Cultivators Realm Ranks followed as ⦁ Mortal flesh ⦁ Soul Forming ⦁ Mind Scattering ⦁ Sarira ⦁ Bone-refining ⦁ Nirvana ⦁ Golden body ⦁ Godly Force ⦁ Heavenly being ⦁ Heavenly god ⦁ Heavenly Buddha ⦁ Godly Buddha. These were just for the bodies of the two, and aligned with one another just the same, then there was the spiritual cultivation realms that followed ⦁ Qi Gathering ⦁ Foundation ⦁ Gold Core ⦁ Soul Wandering ⦁ Nascent Soul ⦁ Ensoulment ⦁ Nihility ⦁ Ascension ⦁ Half Immortal ⦁ Profound Immortal ⦁ Golden Immortal ⦁ Immortal Venerable ⦁ Immortal King ⦁ Immortal Emperor.
It seemed that after you broke through from the lower cultivation, the two were interlinked and would follow the same paths in ranks. Ai had some understanding of this because of his inherited memory, but it was fuzzy and he wasn't really sure about some of the matters. But Wang himself found his views a bit shaken. He truly was a frog in the bottom of a well at this point.
Now there was another thing they were sure of. Within the lower realm, clearly some Higher Realm cultivators had gathered some powers into sects, helping them grow stronger. Clearly they would have to grow stronger, and what more, it seemed that Wang's strength was equal to a newly recruited child of those sects with ranks in the upper realms.
With the help of the Beast, the two were brought to a place where Ai could focus on clearing his impurities, while Wang did the same. The Beast took it upon himself to guard the two, so that Ai wouldn't need to worry about anyone interrupting his cultivation.
When the two had rid themselves of the impurities, they would then need to start out and find those ruins to gather more strength to themselves. They really would have a hard time doing anything to the sects if they didn't focus on their lack of understanding of the new information.
Ai himself was hoping to find ways to help open more of his inherited memory's so that he'd be able to plan better in the future.
After they had spent a few days in this realm, the other beast had grown to realize Ai's arrival and for their own reasons, they all seemed to come to an agreement that the feuds be put on hold as to not cause any unwanted issues to pop up. They all had the understanding of other beasts. Because they were on the lower lists of the upper realms Spirit beasts, they wanted to keep him safe.
This in turn made sure that Wang wouldn't be facing any danger while here. At least, that was so long as Ai was willing to lend his protection to him. If Ai grew unhappy with the human male, they'd readily eat him up!
