After calming down , Rudra put the technique aside and took out the map of the desolate forest that he had taken from mercenary frank.
The map was not very big or detailed and only covered very little area of the forest ; and it could only tell the direction of two cities if he head about 150 miles north west toward outside the forest he will reach sunshine city located on sun empire border, and if he head directly deeper 300 -350 miles in the south of the forest he will reach the almighty desolate city. with the two option front of him Rudra choose to head toward sunshine city because, although Rudra wanted to go desolate city but according to the map if he want to reach desolate then he has to head deeper in desolate forest which was extremely dangerous for him with his current cultivation, although he was basically unparalleled in body refining realm and stronger than early stages of consolidated realm, he was not arrogant nor foolish enough to think that he is invincible in the forest he knew if he encountered any true spirit rank beasts then he could only run for his life .
Rather then risking my life just to get to desolate city I should just head to Sunshine city. Although his first plan was to remain in desolate forest and increase his strength but Rudra knew that experiencing world is also important in one journey, so he decided to head towards the sunshine city immediately after breaking through to consolidated realm as he knew he is about to break through.
In body refining realm one refine one body to make it strong but in consolidated realm one start to store spirit energy in there body.
After deciding his path Rudra started to chant om mantra and cultivate, for few next days he hunted few more demonic beasts on the 4 day after his fight he breakthrough to first stage of consolidated realm. this break through made him sure if he did not have that mysterious bead in his heart and solely depend on spirit energy present in the surrounding to cultivate it would have taken him at least few years to breakthrough from just peak of body refining to stage first of consolidated realm.
"It was simply a miracle that I had this mysterious bead with me in my heart to fulfill my need of absurd amount of spirit energy to cultivate. So from now on I should call you miracle bead rather then mysterious bead it suits it more".
Rudra had collected the pelts and the fur from the beast he hunted over the past few days, he plans to sell all this in sunshine city " he knew he will need money if he do not want to spend his days in some dark back alleys and streets of sunshine city.
After some more preparation he set of towards the sunshine city .Rudra had made a type of bamboo basket to store his pelts and fur while traveling to sunshine city.
