Ram then sat in his tent and started focusing on his cultivation, and after spending some time with his cultivation, he entered the secret world.
In a secret world.
He prepared some food, had it, and then walked aimlessly in the world while thinking about his plan for the next day. After some time, he started practising his fighting technique and, at night, had a proper sleep on the open field beside the river while looking at the stars in the sky. He felt very grateful that the secret world didn't have any mosquitoes.
For the next few months, Ram went on with his activity of cultivating, practising, and roaming around the world, and before he could exit the secret world, he had finally reached Level 2 (intermediate) in his cultivation.
The beauty of 'universe cultivation' was that everything that Ram had learned or cultivated, like different laws, body, mind, spirit, and soul, had all reached level 2 (intermediate). He just had to focus on the universe's cultivation; it automatically used different pranas and increased the cultivation only when everything was balanced. This way, nothing would be left behind, and every aspect of him would be cultivated as one unit.
The disadvantage of universe cultivation was also the same as the advantage; basically, it needed so much time to progress because everything had to be cultivated together. And Ram was worried that once he started learning more techniques and laws, this "universe cultivation technique' would increase the time taken to proceed in cultivation.
He had heard from the system sometime back that there was actually one more advantage, which he had yet to see the result of. Basically, according to the system, due to more prana being used to cultivate, the host had the advantage of storing more prana than a normal being, so the host had the advantage of using more prana during the fight. If used effectively, the host could even fight someone 2 levels above him, so if Ram was at Level 2 (intermediate), he could fight and win with Level 4 (intermediate). But the catch here was that he had to use the prana effectively during the fight; what "effectively" meant, he was not sure of. But if he takes the system's word for it, this advantage will be more prominent when he reaches a higher level of cultivation. According to the system, even the rarest of rare geniuses could at most jump 1 level above them to win the fight.
"STATUS"
Name: Ram
Talent: 9
Bloodline: Human
Body: Elemental
Level 2 (Intermediate)
Universe Cultivation, Supreme Truth Eyes
Items: Divine Shankh, Forgiveness, Void Mask
Mission: Stay in the village for a month.
Reward: Lucky draw
Then Ram saw his status window, nodded, and withdrew the void mask that he had removed sometime before and wore it again. After seeing himself in the water mirror made from the Prana, he observed that the mask was still the same. No one can say that he was wearing the mask. He looked exactly the same as he did before wearing the mask. Then he nodded in approval and started to experiment to see how far his strength had increased.
After some time, he came to the conclusion that minor stage improvement had not brought any major difference in him.
For some reason, his mental perception was still at 5 km, and after learning from the system, he understood that his perception distance did not increase because mental perception only increases at major levels, but he did feel that clarity in his mind was better than before; he had a feeling that he could even balance his emotions through his mind at higher levels.
His control over all the laws of fire, water, earth, wind, and space had increased, and he noticed that if he used the wind law or the space law while running, he could increase his speed.
His control over the body had increased; he could now even stand only on his little finger in one hand for more than 3 days. Though he was sure he could have still gone on, after 3 days he called his action of standing on his finger quit and proceeded with some other tasks.
His spirit was stronger than before, but he still didn't understand how he could consciously use the spirit for any of his advantage. But just because he didn't understand now doesn't mean it was useless. He had learned from the system that spirit cultivation is as important as any other. It is just that he has not figured it out yet.
As for his soul, this was actually a huge mystery to him. Initially, when he had started the universe cultivation, he had seen his soul as small as the flicker of a candle; it was still small and the same size. But there was something new here; he could see there was a golden, red, blue, brown, green, silver and purple colour surrounding his soul. The colours were not in any order; red could be switched with purple, or any other colour could be switched with another. He had learned from the system that all these colours represented the laws he was cultivating. As for why the colour was changing and when, it didn't take Ram too much time to figure it out; it was due to when he cultivated the prana, whichever elemental prana was being used at the moment would switch to closer to the soul's colour of golden, and then that elemental prana from there would enter the soul and from there enter the body and then be used for whatever purpose it was intended for.
After experimenting, he understood the colour and laws. It was like this:
Red: Fire
Blue: Water
Brown: Earth
Green: Wood
Silver: Wind
Purple: Space
Golden: It was still a mystery to him, but he believed it to be the original colour of the soul.
Ram then, after checking his cultivation and preparing himself properly, exited the secret world before the day break.
After some time.
Ram exited his tent and looked around. He saw Hanu and Prakhar still in their respective tents, and then he looked at the night dispersing slowly and the day arriving.
Ding!
"Congratulations, host, on completing the main mission of staying in the village for a month."
