[ability generated "gu absorption"]
"This ability seem kinda useless right now"
Atlas was right he was mortal person he didn't even enter the first realm of cultivation
The "body forging realm"
Which had many stage about 8 so how could atlas kill monster to gain gu.
Monster cultivate by kill and absorbing gu from the monster they kill,the gu is absorbed immediately and it don't stay in a natural form as stone inside the monster.
But human and other human like races don't have such ability and they need to absorb the gu stone from animal over period of time to cultivate.
But with this ability atlas could by pass the cultivation and immediately absorb gu from monsters it might be useless right now but this is overpowered this can by pass the need to have high cultivation talent as he could just absorb gu immediately form monsters.
Atlas remembered a detail tho,gu was not just in monster but in evey living being even mortal they can't use it but it still radiate from there body into the air with out them knowing ,some have to be high enough levels to control this.
This how cultivational techniques work they used the gu in the air to cultivate and gu stones which have higher density of gu then the air.
This were the problem come people with high cultivation talent are loved by gu and they surround the person making it easier for them to cultivate and spiritual roots help the person absorb this gu.
Atlas having low cultivation is not loved by gu but is not hated by it either.
After thinking about it he active his ability which work like technique helping him absorb gu.
"Gu absorption"
The gu around start to move towards atlas at slow pace but he started to feel it entering his body and he focus it at his muscles the first stage of the body forging realm.
"Muscle forging"
The body forging realm is to help the body absorb gu and be able handle it if it went straight to the core meridians his body would explode.
Atlas kept focusing on his muscles and he felt them harden and become stronger and faster.
5 hours later…
He felt like he got have way,he felt as if he was about to become a cultivator, being respect highly across the world and even more on the southern continent as there was very few cultivators specially on the lower regions.
If he just had better cultivation talent the gu would love him and surround him but that not the cause he have to find away to upgrade his talent and spiritual roots in the future.
After finishing his thought he start to move around the forest he was at the edge of the forest we're there no monster and he only had few item like his miswak and a leather bag that contained a water bouch and nothing else.
He began to move to move threw the forest trying to find food and water.
