Outside the gate, the sect elders of all the Sects waited patiently. Some even made tents. Before the opening of the gate.Luo Chen was sitting cross-legged waiting for the system to finish. In front of him was a progress bar that was slowly climbing higher and higher.
[Core Purification has been completed]
[Ding: Integration. 94...97.....99%]
After a while of waiting, inside the Dantian, a small core appeared. This was the core of the Aztec Secret Realm. It contained pure spiritual energy and laws of heaven, however, these laws were incomplete. As soon as the integration process finished, a large amount of pure spiritual Qi swept out of the core and rushed into the Qi Sea. When it arrived there, it immediately fused and mixed in causing the space inside the Dantian to increase. At the same time, the sea of Qi inside the Dantian grew larger and more abundant until it reached a breaking point.
Bang. A resounding bang rang out. He had entered sea expansion Realm. As more energy from the core flowed into his own spiritual Qi, the expansion of the space inside the Dantian reached new heights. For some reason, the aura never swept out of his body. It would be hard for anyone to notice him when he broke through.
The reason?. It is because of the True Dragon's Body. Dragons have meridians that are wide enough to keep the energy on their body from being wasted when they breakthrough. By going through the Refinement of his body using the true Dragons Bloodline, his meridians would increase in side and be strong enough to withstand immense spiritual Qi. The most important thing is that a cultivators foundation is dependent on their body. If the body is too weak, the dantian will also be weak and one day, it might break and cripple the cultivator.
That's why cultivators who focus mostly on the spiritual Qi to get stronger and neglect their bodies don't become high level cultivators. If the body is weak, the dantian will also be weak and even the meridians will be too weak to withstand the spiritual Qi flowing in and out of the dantian. Also if the meridians are not wide enough, the Dantian won't be able to send enough Qi when using a strong technique. This will make the cultivator feel like they have large reserve of spiritual Qi on their dantian, but they are wrong. They will have weak defense, and attack power.
That is why a strong body with strong meridians is a must for all cultivators. But currently, cultivators didn't know that fact. They only focussed on growing stronger. At this moment the Spiritual Qi inside Luo Chen's dantian grew dancer and more importantly, the Qi Sea was expanding. The more it expanded, the more, the core poured. Luo Chen's cultivation climbed by leaps and bounds. Sea Expansion Realm Stage 1....3.....4.....5....7...8.... 9.....
when Luo chen reached the absolute peak of Sea Expansion Realm, his Qi Sea was so massive that it could no longer be called a Qi Sea Anymore.
An appropriate name would be Qi World. It could be said that it was at least a hundred times greater than the Qi Sea of a Martial King expert of this era. The space inside the Dantian was even greater than that. If the Qi Sea was as big as a planet, then the Space inside the Dantian was the Sun. It was massive too. This was also beneficial for Luo Chen. One day, he would understand that.
When Luo Chen reached the 9th Stage of Sea Expansion Realm, the Core of the Aztec Secret Realm was still vibrant with at least 90% of it's spiritual energy still within it. He asked the system,"system, what did I get from this secret realm?" He was curious. He remembered that as long as he uses the system, he can get the spiritual energy, treasures and laws of that world albeit incomplete.
At this moment.
[Ding: Congratulations to the host for entering the forgotten true Immortal Path]
[Ding: The strongest treasure in the secret realm is in the inventory]
[Ding: Time Stone and Sun Stone have been found]
[Ding: Undying Divine Tree seed has been found]
[Ding: the law of Fire, Water, Earth had been detected] [does the host with to retrieve?]
As Luo Chen looked over he was shocked. In the inventory, there was a stone glowing with ethereal light." A time stone born when a large amount of time Qi is condensed on a specific area and causes the stones on that area to become Time based stone. There is also a sun stone glowing with Golden flames. The system info says it is a stone that contains boundless flame energy. Basically It's the flames of the sun on a small stone. As long as one has it, they won't need to worry about the hottest flames. The undying Divine Tree seed is the seed of the Aztec Divine Tree that contains boundless vitality. If nurtured properly, it will birth to Life Stones. Life Stones contain Life Energy and vitality that can heal the most server injuries. "
It is definitely a immortal grade treasure. If not for the system, he would have known that such a thing exists. There were also four different colored lights on the inventory. Those were the 4 laws he got from the secret realm.
He said," system retrieve the four laws and the time stone." He didn't know why, but he could feel deep fear coming from his soul. This fear towards the sun stone. He also felt like if he dared to retrieve the Undying Divine Tree seed now, he would be sucked dry when it awakens.
As soon as he finished, on top of his dantian, 4 lines appeared. Each one had an elemental power on it. At the same time the dantian started to strengthen further and further the reason for it strengthening is related to the Dao[ we'll discuss it in the future]
Now when the time core appeared it just floated there inside the Dantian. It did not show any signs of movement. It was almost like it didn't exist. The other treasures in the secret realm were not given because they were not beneficial for his growth.
Now, Luo Chen has two stones on his body. The core of the lightning python and the time stone. Luo Chen had a theory he wanted to test out and that was to create different energy cores on his dantian like smaller dantian. In this way wouldn't he be able to use Qi from a specific core at the time of need instead of depending on your one attribute spiritual Qi. That was also why he didn't fuse his other energies with his Pure Spiritual Qi. In this way, if one core runs out of Qi, it can absorb his Pure Spiritual Qi to recover.
This was his path.
His path to immortality.
