"If he doesn't wake up tomorrow, then we would have to forcefully wake him up"
"Senior Brother Six, don't be cruel!"
"But he has been unconscious for a week now, we don't have that much time to spare"
These voices were the first thing Lee heard after regaining a bit of his consciousness, his vision was still blurry, and all he could see was a masculine figure and a feminine one.
The last thing he could remember, before he passed out was, him breaking through the fifth barrier. "My internals!" Lee thought, has he remembered the energy that was raging his body.
He immediately scanned his internal body and he was stupefied, as a cultivator once you have successfully carved a dantain, you automatically have the abiltity to see your internals.
His internals organs were sparkling like rare gems, it felt has though his bones was carved from ice. He couldn't even recognize his body any longer, he was even enthralled by the state of his body.
He clenched his fist, and the strength he felt flowing through his bones surpassed that, that he has ever felt before, the feeling he felt when he broke through to the fourth stage was small in comparison to this, he even perceived his body strength might have doubled.
In excitement he moved towards his dantain, and he couldn't help but hold his breath for seconds, cause the sight was breathtaking.
If his previous Spirtual energy could be regarded as a stream, then his present one was a river.
The most shocking part, was the fact that the same spiritual frigid energy that had almost killed him was now flowing in his body as his spiritual energy.
One must know that only Ring cultivators could possess spiritual energy with special attributes, so as a cultivator at the fifth Spirtual stage, his Spirtual energy should be only spiritual energy with no attributes added to it. But now his spiritual energy was as cold as ice.
"Could this be a benefit of comprehending that huge ball?"Lee thought. He had a lot of questions in his mind, that he really needed answers to.
His sword totem in a way now seemed familiar to him, it felt has though he could hear it's thought and feel whatever it feels.
He noticed a strange line that connected his mental space and totem together, he didn't know what it was, and he didn't bother to think about it too much, he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, and trying to crack his brain over it won't produce any tangible result.
His spiritual paths seemed to have expanded and the energy, he can now absorb had escalated. Normally he could only sense spiritual energy in the air, but now he could feel Spirtual frigid energy dancing in the air, rejoicing as though they wanted him to begin to absorb them into his dantain.
The fifth spiritual path, was the last stage of spiritual path cultivation stage, once the fifth Spirtual stage was accessed it automatically linked to other spiritual paths.
You could imagine the first four spiritual paths as roots of a tree, and the fifth Spirtual path a tree, and the branches of the tree as the other spiritual paths that begin to appear as the tree grows.
The fifth spiritual stage has three stages under it. The total spiritual paths a human can have was 105 Spirtual paths. The first five were the most important, without them you couldn't unlock the remaining hundred.
The remaining hundred Spirtual paths were regarded as minor spiritual paths, they were branches that make sure spiritual energy reach every needed place in the body.
Lee who just broke through to the fifth stage possessed 25 minor Spirtual paths, and he would be regarded as an initial stage fifth Spirtual path cultivator.
A middle stage fifth Spirtual path cultivator possesses 50 minor spiritual paths, while a late stage fifth Spirtual path cultivator possesses 100 minor spiritual paths.
Lee took his time to absorb the sudden changes in his body, he knew he was talented, but this had gone beyond his expectations and comprehension, his breakthrough from the first stage to the fifth stage had only taken place in less than two months. The speed was demonic, that even though he had used all the resources of his clan he was not sure he could meet this speed. The fourth stage to the fifth was enough to take him almost six months under normal circumstances. But it had happened in one night, though he had almost lost his life, it was still worth the shock.
Lee having regained his consciousness fully, decided to rise up, he had heard faint voices when first woke up and from their conversation, he seemed to have been unconscious for a week.
He rose up from the bed he slept on, he scanned the room, and it was quite fancy, carefully designed paintings on the wall, that made the room very beautiful.
He didn't know where he was, his only conclusion was that maybe he was still in the arena, and when he had fainted they had rescued him, but he noticed his mask was no longer on his face, so they should have discovered his identity and sent him to his clan. He also noticed that the people he had faintly seen when he first woke up were no longer with him in the room.
He had this thought in mind has he walked out the room.
As soon as he stepped out the room, an enthralling fragrance suddenly invaded his nose.
To his amazement, standing right in front of him, was a very beautiful lady, her face were so smooth, that it felt has though she was just born, she had a smile on her face that could lighten up dark and dead hearts.
But Lee was quite uncomfortable as her face was pretty close to his, and he didn't even notice when she appeared in front of him.
"What's wrong with you White, you have never been this close to a pretty lady!" The woman smiled sheepishly as she said.
Lee's face couldn't help but become red, from embarrassment.
"Awwn, you look so cute" The woman spoke has she clapped her hands in excitement.
"What sort of woman is this" Lee was shocked at how shamelessly the lady was teasing him.
"You can call me Pretty Sister Windblade" She chuckled as she walked towards Senior Brother Six who stood quietly in the courtyard that Lee found himself after walking out of the room.
"Who adds pretty to their names, what kind of weird woman is this" Lee thought, he didn't dear say it out, as he could sense that the lady was very strange, especially the middle aged man who stood like a boulder in a side of the courtyard, and why was she calling him white!
