Susheel returned to his room after cleansing himself free from all the dust and soot that covered his body and sat on the bed in a meditating stance as he started to circulate qi through his meridians to all parts of his body.
In susheel's perception time passed by quickly while he was cultivating. Without even him realising 1 month had passed. Susheel got up and ate food before returning again to his cultivation session.
This routine that consisted of cultivating for one month, eating food before returning to cultivate went on for only 1 more month before he finally grasped the opportunity to breakthrough again.
In the room susheel rapidly and precisely circulated the qi as he started the breakthrough process. After nearly two days the breakthrough process ended and susheel advanced his cultivation to Qi Gathering Realm late stage.
Susheel felt a surge of qi running through his body. But this qi was a bit different from what he possessed before. Because this qi was more refined than the previous. "After nearly 3 months of cultivation time in the Qi Gathering Realm middle stage i finally broke through to the late stage. *Sigh* I can now finally take a breather for a day or two before resuming my cultivation." Susheel thought in his head as he consolidated his cultivation. The process of consolidation was nearly non existent in the first two minor realms.
After about an hour susheel finally consolidated his cultivation and stepped out of the room. He went outside to take a breath of fresh air. But there he saw his mother Lin Yueqing. He approached his mother. "Mother, how have you been doing?"
Hearing susheel's voice Lin Yueqing turned around facing susheel she gave a gentle smile before replying. "Oh son, I have been doing fine.....hmmm it seems like you have reached Qi Gathering Realm late stage. That is quite an impressive thing."
"Father told me that to cultivate till I reached Qi Refining Realm. And mother, what cultivation stage are you on currently?" Susheel asked with a glint of curiosity evident in his voice.
"Core formation realm middle stage that is my current cultivation realm." Lin Yueqing answered.
The conversation continued on for while before susheel returned to his room and resumed his cultivation.
Months passed by as susheel kept a steady progress in his cultivation.
After 4 months he again welcomed the chance to breakthrough.
5 days passed by as he broke through and steadied his cultivation. He had now finally entered the peak stages. He was only one step away from the Qi Refining Realm.
"I finally reached Qi Gathering realm peak stages. Now I am only a step away from Qi Refining Realm." Susheel strengthened his resolve as he continued his cultivation without taking a break.
6 months passed in a blink of an eye. Susheel had welcomed the chance for a major breakthrough. The chance to breakthrough to the Qi Refining Realm.
"After cultivating for this long i reckoned it was about time. And just as I thought it came." This was susheel's thought while welcoming this opportunity.
Unlike his previous breakthroughs this time was different. As he was now going to breakthrough to a major realm. And this meant that he would face a tribulation. A tribulation that will only harm him.
Susheel proceeded to breakthrough as his body started to glimmer with a golden light that lit up his dark room. Veins started bulging on his biceps and his neck as he was visibly strained.
After a good 15 minutes passed by lightning started to strike his body. Susheel circulated and coated qi on his body to protect himself.
"According to the manual I can only wait the tribulation out, that means I got to protect myself, right? This is going to be a hassle from the looks of it." This thought ran through susheel's mind as he strengthened the qi to protect his body.
Sensing the breakthrough in an another room Xu Jianhong opened his eyes. "This kid is now again surpassing my expectations. By the looks of things it should take a week for the tribulation to subside. I wonder if he would need my help." The more he thought the more impressive susheel's improvement became in Xu Jianhong's eyes. After overseeing the tribulation for a while Xu Jianhong deemed that susheel would breakthrough and thus resumed his cultivation.
In an another room Lin Yueqing also sensed the fluctuation of qi indicating a breakthrough was happening. "What? Somebody is breaking through. Is it Jianhong? No it can't be him, this fluctuation is too small for it to be him. Then it could only be Xu Zhen. I can't believe that kid of mine is already breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm. As husband said he sure got talent."
In susheel's room.
"Ughhh... When will this damned tribulation end? I have already been tolerating this for 6 days and it's still not over. My qi reserves are running out. I can only last for about two more days at this rate." Susheel cursed the tribulation in his mind as he looked at his qi reserves. He made up his mind and kept on enduring the tribulation.
On the seventh day, the tribulation finally subsided as susheel finally took a gasp of fresh air and calmed himself down. "Finally! I reached it.... The Qi Refining Realm." Susheel screamed in his mind with joy.
After a while susheel started to consolidate his cultivation.
1 week passed by in a blink of an eye.
Susheel finally consolidated his cultivation. "I am now finally a Qi Refining Realm cultivator." Susheel muttered in low voice with a sense of pride his within it.
