In the next second, a notification appeared in front of El, invisible to the ordinary eye, visible only to him. This was the notification that had the opportunity to fulfill his dream as a man.
Ding!
[Detect. The world of Battle Through the Heavens has a unique profession, Cultivator or Dou Qi Practitioner]
[Beyonders can transition to the Cultivator profession by absorbing Dou Qi in the surrounding realm]
[Beyonders who choose the Cultivator profession will gain physical strength and Dou Qi that continues to grow as their realm increases, within the implemented limits]
[The 5th level Authority limit is Dou Shi. To raise the realm even higher, the Beyonder must increase the Authority level].
Hearing the notification, El smiled faintly, his emotional turmoil caused by his old memories warming up the emptiness within his. His originally dull black irises seemed to light up for a moment.
"Is that so? Those particles of light are the form of Dou Qi that Rinnegan can see?" murmured El, while maintaining a faint smile.
However, this effect was only temporary. The emptiness overcame his again, making her irises return to the dull blackness of charcoal.
El frowned for a moment, then decided to sit on the floor, legs crossed, back straight, while closing her eyes and focusing her mind.
This position is known as lotus style. This was not the first time El had sat in this position.
Previously, El had done it in the world of Kimetsu no Yaiba to learn Total Breathing Concentration, and in his Origin World to try to become a cultivator.
Now, for the third time, El sat in the lotus position. Relying on his previous experience and combining his two understandings, El tried to absorb the Dou Qi from the surrounding nature.
El's breathing seemed calm, regular like the morning breeze. Each breath blended with the surroundings, making his body more and more relaxed, as if flying in the sky.
Suddenly, in El's body, Yuri came out and floated around for a moment, while inhaling the Dou Qi in the air.
"Hmm," Yuri smiled as he closed his eyes. "The Qi energy here feels more plain and rough, very different from my home world. It's so complex, full of Dao and the power of law."
After that, Yuri looked at El with a smile. 'I didn't expect it to be this fast. I thought that in two more worlds, you would become a cultivator.' Yuri thought to herself.
'So, is it time? My role is played more?' Yuri tilted her head slightly to the right.
Suddenly, Yuri's heterochromia eyes shone softly, watching El intensely.
With those eyes, Yuri could now see the Dou Qi surrounding El's body, as if the energy flow was moving on its own, flowing harmoniously.
Meanwhile, El was in deep focus, trying to absorb the Dou Qi for the first time, pursuing the profession that had always been his dream as a man.
Slowly, El's consciousness began to merge with the surrounding nature, communicating with the Dou Qi surrounding him, then drawing it into his body.
Soon, the Dou Qi that was previously just floating in the air began to move slowly, entering El's body that was immersed in meditation.
El's body began to be enveloped in shimmering red-colored energy, slowly turning bright purple as the influence of the Zixuan Spirit Flame within her body.
The atmosphere around his body became increasingly intense, the heat mixed with the purple aura seemed like a powerful blaze of energy.
Within the pitch-black dantian El, there were pools of Dou Qi energy mist emitting a soft glow, resembling luminous dust particles.
The mist flowed gently without a fixed shape, like thin smoke spreading slowly, creating a calm yet powerful atmosphere.
With a gentle rhythm, the mist pulsated, emitting a subtle sound like a small fire crackling. The color of his Dou Qi continued to transform, slowly changing from fiery red to bright purple.
This transformation was the result of the influence of the Zixuan Spirit Flame, the Heavenly pi that burned the Dou Qi in El's dantian, transforming it into something more unique and powerful since the beginning of his cultivation journey.
In the next second, a system notification appeared, but El remained focused on meditation and did not notice the notification.
Yuri, who was connected to El's soul, could see the existence of the system notification.
Without a sound, Yuri floated closer to El and looked closely at the notification that appeared before them.
Ding!

Yuri smiled slightly, watching El successfully absorb the Dou Qi around him. "However, becoming a Dou Qi practitioner is your destiny. These red threads are already clearly visible," Yuri thought with satisfaction.
"But, you need to try harder," Yuri said, closing the system notification screen. "Because, you're not from this world, you're from another world, a Beyonder."
However, Yuri nodded while closing her eyes, "Regardless, your talent in cultivation is similar to mine. So, if you have to try 5 times harder, it's no different than eating and drinking."
Shortly after, Yuri heard a faint snoring sound. He glanced at El, who was still immersed in meditation, while Dou Qi continued to be absorbed slowly into his body.
"This guy... Is sleeping?" murmured Yuri in confusion, then she moved closer, approaching El's chest and attaching his hearing to his body. "His chest muscles... Comfortable..." She said with a slight sniffle. "I mean, he's really asleep..."
Yuri sighed, hovering a little further away from El, feeling amazed. "You... How can you absorb Dou Qi and fall asleep, this is not something a normal person in this world can do."
However, a thought flashed quickly, making her correct the absurdity of what El was doing at the moment. "Wait, if I'm not mistaken, Total Breathing Concentration can be practiced all the time by Adrian."
"This guy, definitely using that concept, is absorbing Dou Qi from breathing. This is normal! At least only for him..." said Yuri again floating around.
What Yuri meant was, even when he was unconscious, El was absorbing Dou Qi all the time because the Concentration effect of total breathing could be circulated in his body all the time consciously, or unconsciously.
Looking at El who is asleep but still absorbing Dou Qi, it seems that El is doing this unconsciously. After all, El was the second strongest Hashira after Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the Kimetsu no Yaiba World.

Like water from a teapot being poured into a cup, time flowed quickly. Now, five days had passed since El had continuously maintained the lotus position.
Dust began to cover her clothes, skin, and hair, signaling the passing of time. Even so, El remained in the same position, without moving an inch.
With a VIT attribute that had reached 91 points, El's body was able to survive without food for a week without showing any signs of weakening.
Slowly but surely, El's endurance and stamina were approaching legends like Yoriichi Tsugikuni, thanks to a consistent focus on increasing the VIT attribute.
Meanwhile, Yuri looked relaxed, lying on the bed while reading a novel. He swung his legs slowly, turning page after page quietly.
"Hoam," Yuri muttered with a small yawn. "The novel is quite interesting, but... a lot of the narrative feels outdated compared to my world."
After finishing reading a few more pages, Yuri closed the novel. "Well, let's finish reading the novel for now," she said as she floated slowly, stretching her petite body. "he should... wake up soon."
