Chapter 148 - Road to tier 3

"If you had to leave the tower on your own, you'd have to deal with the Elders and disciples waiting outside the tower" Cyan sky God said. Xuanyuan knew well that his actions will no doubt attract attention to him so he'd planned to sneak away in case things got out of hand. But on second thought, he realized this was the best outcome after all, even with his abilities, it'd be difficult to escape right under the noses of the Elders who were not much inferior to the Demigod at the third level. Fortunately, Cyan sky God brought him away to his private residence in the Divine sky sect.
"You can also take advantage of the environment to attempt the construction of your Mana body. You can enter one of the special rooms down there when you are ready" he added.
"Many thanks to your Majesty" Xuanyuan said with gratitude.
"Make yourself comfortable" Cyan sky God said. "I'll make a move first because I have things to tend to" he said and vanished out of the mansion.
Xuanyuan didn't idle around either, constructing a Mana body isn't a simple task and he only had less than a day left before his trial ends. If he couldn't complete his promotion before then, he'll have failed the trial.
He was dumbfounded when he entered one of the special rooms in the mansion. The Mana in this room was purer and denser than what he found outside the mansion. But that wasn't what surprised him. Instead, he took a deep breath as he inhaled pure Mana containing traces of a different but mysterious energy. This mysterious energy is unlike ambient Mana and it's purity surpasses that of Mana by a large margin. In fact, they couldn't be compared at all.
While Xuanyuan wasn't able to utilize this particular energy, this energy provided wonderful recovery effects and he could feel his mental concentration recovering rapidly. At this rate, he only had to stay in here for a few minutes to recover his concentration. This was even wondrous than a powerful Magic potion.
What was even more surprising was that, while surrounded by Mana containing this energy, he could feel a tremendous boost to his already inhuman thinking process. His brain was racing as he wondered how he could bring such a wonderful training environment with him back to the modern era.
"Is this the legendary Divine energy?" Xuanyuan murmured.
Divine energy was a unique type of energy in the Realm of spirituality and one can only find traces of it in the ruins left behind by tier 6 Gods especially in the modern era. Meanwhile the effects of this energy was just as he experienced. Heaven defying concentration recovery and tremendous boost to brain activity. If one had to train their skills and techniques in such an environment, they won't have to worry about depleting their concentration as it'd be recovered almost instantly. Furthermore, the increased brain activity could even shorten the time required to master said techniques. That's why environment like this are highly sought after by both NPCs and players. Even Xuanyuan was confident of completing his promotion before time runs out.
He quickly sat right at the centre of the room and brought out a small heap of Magic crystals. Activating the Divine crystal required 1000 Mana stones. Mana stones are another form of currency in the Realm of spirituality besides Magic crystals. And not only does it contain denser Mana, it is also more effective when operating Magical constructs. Meanwhile, 100 magic crystals can be synthesized into 1 Mana stones so he had to refine 100000 Magic crystals to synthesize 1000 Mana stones.
Xuanyuan's heart ached not because of difficulty in refining Mana stones but because of the high cost. With his abilities, refining Magic crystals into Man stones was child's play and he could complete it within a few minutes. But spending another 100000 magic crystals was what pained his heart after all, he'd splurged the same amount on the Ancient gate. Ordinary players would only have to spend a few tens of thousands of Magic crystals in their tier 3 promotion quest but he'd splurged more than that just to get the method to construct his Mana body and he'd have to spend more when constructing.
He quickly refined 100000 magic crystals into Mana stones and injected the pure energy of the stones into the Divine crystal which disintegrated into a cloud of energy that entered his head.
He trembled lightly as a stream of information invaded his mind. He could feel a headache brewing as he began digesting the information but under the wondrous effects of Divine energy, he was able to carry on steadily.
An hour later, Xuanyuan finally digested all his information and his portrayed flashes of realization. The method to construct a true human Mana body was actually not different from ordinary human Mana bodies. The information in the crystal didn't provide him of the Magic arrays required to construct the Mana body either. It only provided the most important information when constructing a true human Mana body.
The main difference when constructing a true human Mana body was that; he had to merge his human spirit into his Mana body. This human spirit is just a manifestation of his Mental energy so he had to merge it into the constructed Mana body. This process is also the biggest difficulty in creating his Mana body.
He took a deep breath as he rid himself of distracting thoughts and officially began constructing his tier 3 Mana body.
Normally, players will use magic crystals to operate a Magical brush to inscribe the Magic arrays in the air. This will ensure that Mana of good quality is used in drawing the arrays thus increasing the power of the Mana body. But Xuanyuan possess Mana quality at the peak of tier 5 purer than the Mana in Magic crystals. Hence he could directly inscribe the arrays with his Mana.
