Chapter 3
*Swoosh*
A thin figure appeared in the dense and lush forest.
That figure is rimuru.
He now arrived at a nearby forest to kill some ants for some proficiency points.
Walking in a random direction, he hoped to find an ant's nest to find what he's looking for but after a while he still found no signs of an ant or an ant's nest.
So the next best thing he could think of is kill the insects on the ground.
A small insect with rough black outer shell came into his sight.
Taking a kunai out his ninja pouch, he threw it with pin-point accuracy, directly nailing the metal tip on its head.
[*Ding, 'Whitebeard' Template proficiency point +0.001]
With a prompt from the system, a small and miniscule increase of strength was felt.
Seeing his experiment in a success, rimuru had a smile on his face when suddenly he remembered something.
'Wait… did I integrate the things from the novice giftpack yet?'
[*Ding, Would you like to integrate all the skills from the novice giftpack, host?]
Another prompt from the system confirmed his suspicious which brought him a bit of an embarrassment.
'How could I forget it?'
Maybe it was because of his sudden excitement of finding out an easy way to get proficiency points that made him forget about the most important thing.
[*Ding, Integrating "Instant Mastery talent", "Cultivation Technique (Omnipotent Rank)", "Unlimited increase talent", "Auto-cultivation talent".]
A feeling of heat surged in his body and many things has been changed or added.
Bones, muscles, meridians, Dantian, chakra lines, and etc. were being remodeled or added into his body with no inconsistency or discomfort whatsoever.
Instead, rimuru feels full of energy because just as the integration was completed, an invisible surge of nature energy was immediately absorbed into his Dantian.
The auto-cultivation talent immediately kicked in when the integration was completed as it passively purifies and absorbs the nature energy according to the omnipotent rank cultivation technique.
(Warning: Info Dump…)
From the cultivation technique, it is divided into 6 parts for the 6 realms in it.
The first realm is the foundation realm where the perfect foundation will be built.
Once the perfect foundation was built, The practitioner's strength will greatly increase and then they'll advance to the next realm which is the golden core realm.
In that realm, the practitioner's Dantian core will undergo a hard and arduous process of turning the Dantian core to a golden shade of color, greatly strengthening it and also bringing a huge amount of increase of strength.
The next realm is the Nascent Soul realm.
This process of turning to a nascent soul realm is absorbing the golden core to one's soul.
According to the cultivation technique, To start the Nascent Soul realm, the practitioner must completely integrate one's own soul with one's body.
The process is up to the practitioner, but it is not recommended to shatter one's own Dantian because there is a high likelihood of being a cripple.
It is painful and the gains aren't as huge as directly absorbing the Dantian through soul and body integration.
Once entering the Nascent Soul realm, there will be a huge increase of soul and mental strength and a substantial gain in the physique department.
Then there will be the God Realm which is the process of deification.
One path is the path through faith which require one to have a steady stream of faith energy coming from a believer.
Another path would be to absorb the cosmic energy emitted by celestial bodies such as the stars.
Do note that celestial bodies such as asteroids, small planetoids, or planets in general, doesn't produce much cosmic energy.
The best source is from the stars or blackholes.
A word of caution, don't get too close to them or else you'll die even if you reach the peak of god realm.
After breaking through the god realm will you reach the saint realm where the true big boss are usually in.
The saint realm is a realm where the practitioner will de-tach themselves from the universe, being an entity outside the constraints of the universe.
Space, Time, destiny, or fate cannot control those of this realm because they are out of the constraints of their universe.
Reaching peak of this realm will bring unimaginable power comparable to celestial sapiens.
Basically nigh-omnipotence.
The last and final realm is the Supreme Realm where only those with omnipotent rank cultivation techniques could reach with various heaven-defying luck and items.
Though just reaching saint realm will be above the heavens…
Anyway, the supreme realm is basically the pre-requisites for the power of omnipotence.
Once reaching the supreme realm, the practitioner will only have to learn and control their strength because to reach omnipotence that almost all creatures desire, they must control their strength.
Once that strength is controlled, then congratulations, you've gotten omnipotence.
(End of Info Dump…)
Rimuru quickly finished processing the huge amount of information from the cultivation technique in a moment.
A surge of infinite strength was felt coursing through his body for a second before quickly disappearing.
This is a normal process for suddenly reaching the foundation realm.
A series of prompts then flashed in his mind.
(The {…} is from the unlimited increase talent.)
{*Ding, You have absorbed nature energy, increasing it by 100 million, you received 100 million nature energy.}
{*Ding, You have absorbed nature energy, increasing it by 10 million, you received 10 million nature energy.}
{*Ding, You have absorbed nature energy…}
Being overwhelmed by the annoying flood of prompts from the unlimited increase talent, Rimuru blocked the series of repeating prompts so it'll only prompt again when it's something other than him absorbing nature energy.
After he blocked the prompts, he closed his eyes, feeling the huge surge of nature energy absorbed into his Dantian.
The huge amount of nature energy almost immediately turned into pure and dense cultivation energy.
Although he still has his chakra pathways in his body even though it should be 100% impossible because of different conflicting pathways of the meridians.
Just toss logic off the side…
His cultivation realm then took off really quickly.
Level 1 of Foundation realm, Level 2 of Foundation realm, Level 3 of Foundation realm…
In a minute, he reached the peak of foundation realm.
"Why the heck is this so fast?"
"Is cultivation this easy now??"
He murmured these two sentences out and slowly walked towards his room.
As he left the forest and returned to his room, a small but noticeable increase of strength was felt throughout his body as the bones, muscles, and skin constantly change and transform.
"It seems it'll take a week to stabilize my cultivation realm and another 3 weeks for my foundation to be perfected…"
He thoughtfully muttered when feeling the changes in his body.
Opening the door to his bedroom, he found a small and petite figure resting on his bed.
"Huh???"
He looked at the figure in confusion and a question mark seemingly want to show itself on top of rimuru's head.
"Did I allow her to sleep on my bed…?"
"Maybe I forgot…"
"Anyway, tsunade won't take her own initiative to sleep on my bed… totally not."
While muttering his thoughts out loud, he didn't notice the twitching eyelid of tsunade.
…
