while raging lava that gushed everywhere, ken was busy cultivating inside the time chamber and the background setting he chose was a waterfall. every cultivator has a choice at some point to chose body or mind cultivation whichever they deem useful . but heart cultivation is the process which every cultivator has to go through as it's the foundation of the long journey of cultivation . the worst enemy for any cultivator is the inner demon so the heart cultivation which helps suppress it or conquer it saves the day by preventing cultivation deviation .
swordsman cultivate sword heart because of their firm belief in the way of sword . it helps them to cultivate faster and understand the principles smoothly . ken is different as his cultivation heart is like the calm waterfall . his beliefs are strong from the time he started cultivating because of the foundation his teacher left him with him teachings . the hear cultivation is necessary because cultivators won't forget their beliefs and act against the principles they set for themselves . ken is like a passerby who believes in compassion and benevolence. at the same time he doesn't interfere excessively in other's matters and believes that they should be responsible for their own lives and actions. so complemented with his supreme tier cultivation method which prevents cultivation deviation easily as the process is smooth and automatic most of the time and his cultivation heart , cultivation is smooth sailing for ken without any fear of inner demons .
in the immortal realm , a cultivator had to pass the heavenly tribulation successfully for a total of 3 times . the first one when he tries to advance and become the beginner sage . the second when he tries to advance to spirit transformation realm and the last when he tries to ascend to the divine realm after reaching peak of immortal realm .
the advancement to the beginner sage means that the cultivator has succeeded in touching the surface of the heavenly laws of immortal plane and his origin starts transforming into an independent planet .
the advancement to spirit transformation realm is the baptism of the spirit ( soul ) of the cultivator . after passing the heavenly tribulation successfully the cultivator can feel more strong connection with the laws with his soul and his mental power increases substantially. his soul can leave the body for longer periods of time as its baptized by the heavenly laws and the immortal realm doesn't reject it . a spirit transformation realm cultivator can continue to exist for thousands of years even if his body is destroyed and his soul escapes in time. if the mental power is strong then the soul can cultivate further too independently.
the advancement after reaching the peak immortal realm goes without saying as the cultivator has to pass the heavenly tribulation to ascend to the higher plane which is the divine realm . during the tribulation the cultivator's ki has to transform into the divine ki at least 5 percent to pass successfully and ascend .
ken continued to cultivate inside the time chamber and come out for the heavenly tribulation 2 times before advancing further . the hated tribulation turned beneficial for ken as after absorbing the heavenly lightning each time, his understanding of the laws in the immortal plane increased to highest levels with the increased cultivation .
ken stopped cultivating when he reached the peak intermediate immortal realm . he could cultivate further and easily reach the peak of the immortal realm but ken didnt want to ascend right now . with his increased understanding of the heavenly laws of the immortal plane ken could be control the timing when he was ready for the tribulation but he didnt want to spend his mental power continuously to prevent it .
talented cultivators when reach the immortal realm had formed their main planet inside their inner world and start the formation of other planets which represent their elemental laws . if the cultivator is talented using fire laws then his second origin would be of the fire and so on . ken was a genius when it came to understanding of laws so he already had formed 10 planets which is the limit for an immortal realm cultivator. even the most talented cultivator doesn't form that many planets as it was time consuming and he would have to spend enormous amount of mental power to maintain the balance among the main planet and other elemental planets .for ken maintains the balance was easy and the didnt have to use mental power either because his understanding of the law of each planet was the best already.
Ken's planets are -
1. main planet - this is his first planet that was formed with his first origin .
2 . water planet
3. fire planet
4 . lightnig planet - this is the biggest planet as it's mostly made of the heavenly lightning
5 . wood planet
6 . earth planet
7 . light planet
8 . darkness planet
9 . wind planet
10 . lava planet
each planet except the first planet is made of one sole element . ken can use those powers by borrowing the elemental power much easily than other powers except his elemental planets . it's because the fact that he constructed the element planet means that his understanding of the said law is greater .
the first planet that was constructed using his first origin is the planet which will become like earth in the future . now his planet has already started to form mountains, forests etc and would give birth to humans in future . ken can choose whatever to do with his plants because he is the creator .
ken dislikes dishonest and vulgar people so the cultivators who absorb the core of a planet and cause its destruction are hated by him . it's the most easiest way to cultivate your own elemental planet by stealing the core and absorbing it for yourself . ken also absorbed the core of this small planet when forming his lava planet but he didnt steal it . he absorbed only some of it to increase his understanding and cultivated his own planet slowly .
ken spent slightly more than 100 years during this long cultivation session . truly the concept of time is almost nonexistent for cultivators. ken could have completed this cultivation session in just 3 or 4 years if he didnt decide to cultivate the 9 extra planets .
it took him more than 5 years to consolidate each of the nine planets . only the lava planet took 5 years as ken saved time by absorbing the core of this small lava planet slightly . others took way longer and the wood planet took 14 years the longest while the lightning planet took 6 years the shortest after the lava planet .
Ken's lightning planet is more than double the size of other element planet and the most powerful too . the reason is simply because it was cultivated with the heavenly lightning that was remaining after ken absorbed the rest as the base . the destructive force of the heavenly lightning is known to every cultivator so ken is too strong now completed with his superior supreme ki .
ken was now near a black hole staring at the gushing lava . he quickly finished reminiscing his more than 100 years long cultivation session and stepped inside the black hole with refreshed smile as he was completely satisfied with his tremendous progress....
