There wasn't much to do here in the Void as everything was pitch black except for refining the Essences in the surroundings.
I decided to try and upgrade my level of cultivation, the first level was the easiest level and as the cultivators progressed the levels would get harder and harder, except for those born with unparalleled talent or a top level physique.
All of this information I had known since I was a avid reader in this type of genre.
About a month later I finally broke through to the Early 1st Level of Body Refinement. I was going to try and reach 2nd Level of Body Refinement till I tried to break through to the 'Copper Stomach' stage of the technique to make sure that nothing went wrong during the process.
"That's a good idea. With that it will be easier to bear the pain and to be able to refine it quicker and have a better foundation with the technique, as just forming it would make your foundation slightly unstable which would take some time to consolidate." Chen Xiao said.
I decided to start early as soon as I had rested up to prepare myself for cultivating.
I started as soon as I had rested up and had calmed my mind.
The full process took about 5 months of time. During this period I would cultivate for 4 hours, rest absorb a bit of Essence from the surroundings then repeated this process during this period of time.
When I had finally broken through to Early 2nd Level Body Refinement I had in total refined about 935 as I didn't pay attention to the amount that I had absorbed as I wouldn't spend a long time absorbing the Essences and would just get back to cultivating when I had recovered.
The next level of 'The Sacred Art of Devouring' after the Copper level was upgrading my entrails to Iron, which required me to refine an astonishing 10,000 molecules of Lower Tier 1 Void Essence, or 1,000 molecules of Mid Tier 1 Void Essence as I can now barely refine the Mid Tier 1 Void Essence.
