Chapter 24 - 24. Stealing (part-1)

The communication link will be connected using the electromagnetic energy in the surrounding area. The insect is the transmitter, the electromagnetic energy is the wire, and the will is the receiver.

It is just like the mobile phone, but instead of using objects, it works on living beings. It is also possible to form a connection immediately, but the distance of communication is limited by strength.

So it is necessary to upgrade to the next realm. To progress in the Will path is the same as on the Qi path. But it is not an efficient method, as the will of a person grows with experience in his life.

Kai used his parallel thinking ability to deduce the next realm and the development of his talent. 

'The Will path is truly miraculous,' he thought. The next realm of the will path is the will cognition realm. The ability of this realm is cosmic awareness—the ability to obtain information about the universe. If this ability is developed to a very high level, it is also possible to obtain information about the past and present from cosmic entities like the stars, sun, and moon.

'This ability is too good, but I think it will also be limited by my strength.' The will path's power is related to my strength of will, and it depends on the strength of my soul.

The soul's power depends on the body, and the body depends on Qi. So all four paths are needed for the complete development and utilization of power.

Without wasting time, Kai started cultivating after his deduction. The Qi in the surrounding area slowly started merging with him; the speed of Qi was very slow as it was limited by Kai's talent.

A very mysterious energy appeared around Kai; it slowly started to rotate around him. The mysterious energy is Willpower; it started to take form around his head. 

To break into the will cognition realm from the will manifestation realm, it is necessary to make the willpower solid. The peak of the manifestation realm is to manifest the will in any form and use it as you please.

The willpower around Kai started to take form, and when it was about to take form, it disappeared around him.

'It seems willpower cultivation is also limited by talent. I need to overcome the limitations of my talent; otherwise, it will be very hard to cultivate in the future.' he thought. Kai has now reached the peak of the will manifestation realm. He only needs to break through the bottleneck to become a Tier-2 being on his second path.

Without standing from his place, he started to break through, and the surrounding energy gathered around him at a faster pace. 

Kai faced his first bottleneck in his Will path, but it was not that strong since he already faced a lot of them before. He used his willpower to break them, and he also succeeded on his first try.

'This is different from usual vision,' he thought. He was able to see the information without even opening his eyes; it was a new experience for him. The soul's perception of vision is also like seeing with the eyes but using the will to see is entirely different. It seems Ultimate Sense plays a huge role in upgrading perception.

The ultimate sense ability only allows him to increase his sense of vision for now. But it seems the vision here includes all types of vision, like using the soul and will. 

'This talent is broken; it is too good even without growing up.' He thought. The ability only allows him to increase his vision for now, but after his strength grows in the future, it will increase his hearing, intuition, and even dangerous sense. The same goes for learning talent; it only increases his comprehension for now. But in the future, it will increase his comprehension and even have the power of adaptation.

Kai, after breaking through the realm, used his ability to check the surroundings.

'It seems I can only obtain information from non-living things, and I cannot obtain information about the past.' he pondered. Kai was only able to obtain information about the present time using objects. It was like a CCTV camera, but this ability has not developed to its full potential. So there is a lot of time for that.

"It is time to execute my plan," said Kai in an excited tone. He was afraid of something going wrong, but he decided to take the risk. 

'Before executing the plan, I should go and check the distance and make sure all the things are properly arranged.' he thought. Kai then got out of his room and decided to go on a tour, as this would not arouse suspicion.

As Kai was walking around the sect while viewing the scenery, a tall man talked up to him.

"Hey, are you new here? I had not seen your face before. The tall guy asked.

"Yes, senior brother. I only joined a week ago, and this is my first time seeing around the sect." Said Kai. He did not act weird, and he gave a regular reply. ( The word senior brother or sister is used by the new disciples to refer to the older disciples. It is like a tradition.)

"Since you are new, I will show you around the sect. As a senior brother, I must guide you." Replied the tall man.

"Thank you for your help, senior brother. Can you tell me your name? My name is Kai. " Asked Kai.

"My name is James, and I have been in the inner sect for 2 years," James replied as he put his hands on Kai's shoulder.

Then James began to introduce all the work in the sect with details. He also explained the value of the contribution point. The contribution has a lot of value in the sect because it is the currency in the sect, and 10,000 points can be used for a year, even if they are spent in luxury.

'My father gave me a lot of money; it seems he does not want me to work hard in the sect at the beginning.' thought Kai. Then James also showed the scripture pavilion and refining tower.

The refining tower requires 100 contribution points per day. It is a lot considering a person cannot be inside the tower for a long amount of time; a person can only stay for 3 to 4 hours based on their fire resistance and endurance.

It is also possible to buy tickets for fewer hours, but it is not cost-effective. The scripture pavilion also takes 100 contribution points for entry, and each book costs based on its level.

The spirit stone can be exchanged for a contribution point, and vice versa. It is a daylight robbery since they are only selling a copy of a book or technique, but the cost is too high. 

After returning to his room, Kai thought about the plan to infiltrate the Scripture Pavilion. The security of the pavilion cannot be judged since he did not go inside, but the security must be high since it is one of the most important places in the sect.

Kai then captured some ants and bugs for the infiltration. He used his will manifestation on them and tried connecting his willpower to the electromagnetic energy in their surroundings. (He got the ability to sense the electromagnetic energy and gravity in earth's element tempering.)

Kai was not able to use the energy in the Surrounding in Tier 1 (Will Manifestation realm), but now he can connect with him using his Will in Tier 2. 

After the connection, he used his commanding ability of will to order the ants and bugs to move into the scripture pavilion. The insects started to move towards the pavilion; some of them were killed by someone accidentally walking on them. 

A lot of them had reached the pavilion without any problem. Then they followed the orders and got inside the pavilion. There were no people inside at the entrance, so they got in without any problems.

After walking inside the pavilion for a few minutes, they reached the section that stores the books. But before they could reach the book, they were killed by a cleaner.

"What is the reason for the sudden increase in insects today?" pondered the cleaner.

"Why did he come to clean at this time?" thought Kai in frustration. His plan almost succeeded now, if that guy did not kill the insects. He can view and hear the information about the situation using the insects; if they get into the book, he can easily read all the information without spending any contribution points.

Without bothering about the first failure, he captured another set of insects and did the same procedure. This time he sent the insects with a time interval between them because if they got killed, they would not be wiped out like before.

The insects successfully infiltrated the pavilion without causing any damage. They easily got to the pavilion since Kai knew the exact direction this time. After seeing the row of books in the shell, Kai gave orders to the insect in excitement.

"Who is it?" Suddenly, a voice came from an unknown place.
