132 Just the Beginning of the Real Cultivation
[Later]
After bidding bye to everyone, and giving his daughter the gifts he got from the other dimensions. The original Xiao Qiangwei and Jibril were alone in the bedroom.
Xiao Qiangwei: I think you know the reason I called you.
Jibril: Yes, it is to ask me about my opinion.
Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, I will ask you a question now… Do you want to throw away your life, and follow me outside this dimension?
Jibril: Yes, His Highness.
Xiao Qiangwei: I will warn you, unlike the other dimensions, we will be going around the universe itself, not only you, but I can lose my life at any moment. So, I need to make some modifications to your body for the best. I will ask again, will you follow me?
Jibril: I will do everything to protect His Highness, I just wish for you to not throw me away.
Xiao Qiangwei: Great! Then we will need to change some things on your speech… Don't call me His Highness, call me Young Master, otherwise it would cause some misunderstanding outside.
Jibril: I'll do it, Young Master.
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, now we will start with the modifications… Master!
The next moment, Lan Tian popped out from nothing and smiled.
Lan Tian: I understand, for now I will help you. But be careful outside, because I won't help you, if you can't survive there for yourselves then I can't consider you as my disciple.
Xiao Qiangwei: Got it, please start now.
Lan Tian nodded and turned towards Jibril.
Lan Tian: Jibril, I know you want to follow my disciple until you lose your life, but I need to warn you… Do you want to lose your identity as a Flugel, and become a Chimera? A Chimera is simply a human who has animal features, like you have wings.
However, you will lose your body made of elementals and gain a body made of flesh and bones, so you will have the same anatomy of the humans, except for the wings, but you will be able to cultivate, are you fine with this?
Jibril: ...Yes! I will be a chimera!
Lan Tian nodded and the next instant, Jibril's halo vanished.
Lan Tian: Done.
Jibril: Huh? Just like that?
Lan Tian: What did you expect? Pain? Brat, I am the thing most near to the Almighty here, I need only to think and I can make you someone at the Divine Rebirth.
Xiao Qiangwei: *Whistle* Now let's see… Hmm, you are at the 1st Immortal Sky stage, but your aura… Jibril.
Jibril: Yes, Young Master?
Xiao Qiangwei: I will beat the shit out of you until you will turn back to your prime.
Jibril: ...Huh?
Lan Tian disappeared, leaving Xiao Qiangwei and Jibril alone, who teleported away in a nearby planet, they continued to teleport until they were far enough, in a dead planet.
Xiao Qiangwei: I will train you until you will reach your prime once again.
Jibril: Yes!
She tried to create a weapon made of magic, but she realized that she couldn't do it because she has Immortal Qi now, so she started to use her hands and feet.
*Pow*
Suddenly, Xiao Qiangwei was in front of her and backhanded her in the ground, the dead planet trembled a bit as Jibril was slowly regenerating due to her new Immortal Core and blood.
Jibril: D-Did I just die…?
Xiao Qiangwei: Stand up! I said I will beat you until you will turn back to your prime! If you want to follow me then I will break you until your aura turn back to normal!
Jibril: Y-Yes…
She tried to fly away, but with the speed of a 2nd Immortal Sky, he reached Jibril and stomped her chest, making her spit blood… But it will be alright unless he attacks her core, and as much as it pained him to hurt Jibril, he needed to do so for her survival.
[1 week later]
This was one of the hardest times she ever lived, for Jibril… Only she knew how many times she should have died… Beheading, pierced, mangled, split in two, almost destroyed, crushed, sliced, burned, impaled…
Fortunately she had the Immortal Core, which was still unharmed, she kept regenerating, her aura was trying its best to adapting to the sudden change, when finally her aura gained the proper texture and quantity of a 1st Immortal Sky.
She was really tired so she kneeled in the ground when Xiao Qiangwei stopped.
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, we did it. Now you turned back to your prime. Unfortunately, you won't be able to beat a real 1st Immortal Sky Cultivator even if you reached this point.
Jibril: Huh? What does Young Master mean?
Xiao Qiangwei: You could beat with a normal cultivator at your rank, but against a real cultivator it isn't possible, you need proper techniques, the only thing you are able to do is making spatial manipulation and time manipulation.
So, the first thing we will do once we reach a higher world, is going in a sect or academy for weapons and techniques, you understand?
Jibril: But Young Master, can't you teach me?
Xiao Qiangwei: I could… But I am a shitty teacher and I don't know if you are compatible with my techniques. 'And I need to start to buy condoms or make a contraception technique, it is still not the time to make kids…'
So, for now, I will teach you different things about cultivators that you knew and don't knew beforehand… However, I will use this universe's laws… So take out your book and quill and write.
There are 7 realms, each one are divided in 10 stages.
The Elementary Mortal realm is the same as the Mortal Realm, same with the stages, but I don't know the details.
The True Mortal realm is the same as the Golden Realm, same with the stages.
The Earth Ancestor realm is the same as the first 4 stages of the Nine Immortal Cycles, so each stage of the Nine Immortal Cycles is as great as 2 or 3 stages of the Earth Ancestor realm.
The Heavenly Ancestor realm is the same as the late 5 stages of the Nine Immortal Cycles, right after you get the Immortal Qi. So each stage of the Nine Immortal Cycles will be equal to 2 stages of the Heavenly Ancestor.
The Lower Deity realm is the same as the True Immortal Realm, the current realm you are in.
The Higher Deity realm is the same as the Heaven-Defying Core realm.
And for last, the Overlord Deity is the same as the Godly Realm.
There is no knowledge about the Divinity Creation realm or the Divine Rebirth realm outside, so we will talk about those stages when you actually reach them. You understand?
Jibril: Yes, Young Master!
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, now the weapons… My universe's ranks are…
Golden Rank < Immortal Rank < True Immortal Rank < Emperor Rank < Celestial Rank < Godly Rank < Divine Rank.
Ignore the Godly Rank and the Divine Rank for now.
Then Xiao Qiangwei took out his World Piercer and showed it to Jibril.
Xiao Qiangwei: This is World Piercer, as you know it, this is a Celestial Ranked weapon, the power of this weapon can be considered on the same level of the Godly Realm or Overlord Deity.
The weapons' rank on this universe are…
Earth Rank = Golden Rank
Heavenly Rank = Immortal Rank
Immortal Rank = True Immortal Rank
Supreme Rank = Emperor Rank
Divine Rank = Celestial Rank
And from what I gathered, there are some incredibly rare items that are classified as Destructive God Rank, which are equal to the Godly Rank, but they are incredibly rare. Got it?
Jibril: Yes!
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, for now I will teach you about cultivating, then while we are out there I will explain you the details of the universe.
Xiao Qiangwei walked towards Jibril and started teaching her how to absorb Qi in the surroundings, but since there was none in this planet, he generated a bit and let her cultivate it.
After she learned how to cultivate in the time record of 10 minutes, he gave her Shenleif's energy and told her to use it to hastily reach the Immortal Heaven while he helped her guiding the Old Deus' energy around her body.
Meanwhile, he explained her about her body, since she wasn't neither an Old Deus or an Ex-Machina, her body doesn't have any special Status like Xiao Qiangwei's Perfect Immortal Body. So if she wanted to be stronger than her peers, they need to give her a Status.
And the best method to do that, is increasing her affinity with one or more natural Qi, like Fire Element Qi or Water Qi, due to her behavior, the best one for her would be Metal Qi, which has a branch that uses Killing Intent to strengthen the user, there should be a technique or two that could help her with that out there.
If Jibril can attain a really high affinity with a natural Qi, she can get the Status of Elemental Qi… About Elemental Qi… He didn't had a single one too. He passed day and night to make traps and only recently did he learned more techniques, but he didn't learned any elemental technique except for Yin Element Qi for the Doomsday Core.
Maybe he should develop an Elemental Qi. Even if it means being on the circle of elements, which is:
Fire > Wind > Metal > Earth > Water > Fire…
And then there is the Yin and Yang, darkness and light, they are outside of the circle of elements, but each one has strong points against each other.
The Yin Elemental Qi is more destructive, and can damage souls directly, it is more useful for fighting, it can negate one's healing factor, but one's mind would be warped the more one cultivates this path.
The Yang Elemental Qi is more on the support side, it can still damage souls, but without any pain, it can increase one's healing factor and can create strong barriers, it is useful on binding people and on purification, the mind will not be warped in the slightest.
Basically, one would think that the Yang Elemental Qi would be more useful, but if one didn't care about his sanity, then the Yin Elemental Qi is better.
However, there is something that the normal Elemental Qi has more than the Yin and Yang Elemental Qi… The Elemental Soul.
If one's affinity with one of the 5 elements is 100%, then one's soul would be completely immune to that element, creating the Status of Elemental Soul. The Yin and Yang Elemental Qi doesn't have anything like that.
So, since he doesn't want a warped mind, and want strength, it is better for him to learn an elemental Qi, if he learned an elemental Qi in his previous life, he wouldn't have needed to use the Doomsday Core to kill the Sect Master of the Piercing Sky sect.
So the best option for him is going in an academy since he doesn't want to join a sect until he reached the so-called Overlord Deity realm, which was the Godly Realm of his.
It would be better going in the academy of a Higher World, because those don't have a big restriction on age since only cultivators who reached the "Lower Deity" realm can go in Higher Worlds.
However, it would be a problem with Jibril, well… Maybe he will stea-BUY an Assessment Stone to check her body's age, only her previous body made of Elemental(AN: Magic) Gallery was 6047 years old, but he doesn't know her current body's age.
After Xiao Qiangwei made Jibril absorb the energy from the crystal that contained the power of an Old Deus, she reached the 1st Immortal Heaven stage, so she could create a personal pocket dimension unaccessible to almost anyone.
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, is there anything else you forgot to get? Books, items, etc…
Jibril: No, I have everything!
Xiao Qiangwei: Nn… Then follow me.
Xiao Qiangwei and Jibril closed their eyes, and since Jibril was adept to spatial manipulation, she was able to follow Xiao Qiangwei in a white room with a black hole on a wall.
Xiao Qiangwei: This place is the room where you can access to other Dimensions. You just need to enter the black hole and think to which one between the nearby dimensions you want to go, or enter in dimension with a Higher World, which should be noticeably different. Try it.
Jibril nodded and placed one hand inside the black hole, then she concentrated a bit. There were countless dimensions, yet, only 4 or 5 were more powerful-looking than others.
Jibril: I can see them!
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, grab my hand and choose one of them.
Jibril nodded and entered the dimension she wanted with Xiao Qiangwei through the black hole, they opened their eyes and found themselves in a incredibly big white room, it looked as big as a city, there were around 20'000 cultivators, each one was strong or weak, to Xiao Qiangwei's standard.
Meanwhile, Jibril was overwhelmed from the sudden increase of pressure on her body, but Xiao Qiangwei protected her with his own energy. Then, they closed their eyes again and reappeared in a land full of nature, the aura around was really pure and strong, but it gave them a good feeling.
Right now Jibril could be considered as a slightly better than an average person, while Xiao Qiangwei was in borderline to a Genius, but once he shows his capabilities that are comparable to someone on the 4th Great Core stage without any Elemental Qi, he will be considered as a real genius.
He tried to use his Immortal Senses, and he couldn't even see the end of this Higher World, as expected of one…
The Higher Worlds are different from Lower World because they are as big as entire normal dimensions, and Xiao Qiangwei was far from being able to cover the entire world with his Immortal Senses, he needs to be a Godly Sky practitioner, or in the middle stages of the Overlord Deity to be able to do so.
And then… They walked in the new place… Completely unfamiliar with them…
To be continued.
AN: Before you ask for a second book, remember that I need to actually create the entire story of the second book, places, powerhouses, enemies, plot twists, sects, clans, legends, etc…
Then I will need to make a good plot, and so I will need an indefinite time before I can actually write a nice sequel.
