Body Refinement Realm (1)

After taking a bath, Alex sat cross-legged on his bed.

'Status'

[Name: Alex Dracon]

[Cultivation Realm: None]

[Element: ???]

[Bloodline: ???]

[Physique: temporarily sealed]

[Inventory: 1 body nourishment pill]

[Skills: None]

[97% of the body has been healed].

"It should only take one more pill, and my body will be completely healed." Alex exhaled a sigh of relief.

His hard work has finally paid off After weeks of struggle, Alex's condition was finally improving, and it was time for him to start his cultivation path.

Alex took the Body Nourishment pill from his inventory without hesitation, and it appeared in his hand. As he stared at the pill, he was filled with excitement.

He'd been taking this pill for 14 days and had grown accustomed to it; initially, it had a strong effect on him, but later, it had little effect.

The pill had less of an effect on Alex as his body healed, and he was now on the last pill.

He will complete the mission and be able to begin cultivating after taking it. That is something he has desired for many years.

He popped the pill into his mouth, not waiting any longer.

He closed his eyes and swallowed the pill, waiting for its effect. As the pill began to take effect in his body, a green light surrounded him.

"Ding"

[Mission completed: The Path To Becoming A Cultivator]

[Host has obtained a cultivation technique.]

"It's done," Alex muttered slowly before opening his inventory to examine the cultivation technique.

[Non-Dimensional God Refining Technique]

[Rank:????]

That's what Alex learned after reading about this technique. Confused about this technique, Alex asked the system.

"System, do you have any knowledge of this technique?"

[I'm sorry, host, but I don't know anything.]

'Because it's from the system, it should be good, and it's as if I have another option.' Alex though.

[Wait! Host]

The system interrupted Alex as he was about to accept the technique.

"What?"

[Do you recall the basics of cultivation before you begin cultivating?] Alex took a brief pause to recall the fundamental principles of cultivation.

"I mean, how could I not remember?

I've been studying cultivation principles for the past 15 days, and I'm confident that I'm now ready to start.

In this world, cultivators absorb the Qi between heaven and earth to strengthen their own body and spirit.

When attempting to enter the first realm of cultivation, a cultivator must first awaken their element by absorbing Qi from the air. The absorbed Qi must be transformed into elemental Qi once the element is awakened. The cultivator will use elemental Qi to strengthen their body after transforming the Qi into elemental Qi."

[Correct; please continue.]

"The first realm is known as the body refinement realm, and it is divided into nine stages.

Every stage in this realm is critical, as it will strengthen the cultivator body.

Stages 1 to 3 are about strengthening the blood and flesh.

Muscles and bones are the focus of stages 4–6.

Tempering the inner organs is the focus of stages 7–9.

The Body Refinement Realm has nine stages; once all nine stages are completed, the next realm is the Qi Gathering Realm.

The Qi Gathering stage is all about gathering the elemental QI in the dantian, which will be in a gaseous state and located in the center of the chest. The more QI a person can store, the higher his stage.

The Qi Gathering Realm is divided into nine stages as well. The foundation realm comes next.

The Foundation Realm is all about transforming gaseous Qi into liquid Qi. The energy will be stronger and purer than in the Qi gathering realm, and the cultivator will begin to feel a significant difference in their physical and spiritual bodies.

That's all I have for now."

Well, Alex was certain that there was another realm higher than the foundation realm, but he had no idea what it was called or how to enter it; he should now concentrate on entering the body refinement realm.

[You're right, host; I believe you're ready to start cultivating.] The system verified that Alex was indeed prepared to begin cultivating.

[Be prepared for a new future when the host enters the body refining realm.] It continued, catching Alex off guard with its words.

"Really new futures."

[Yes, host.]

Alex was eager to begin cultivating as soon as he heard the system's words. Alex selected the technique from his inventory screen.

[Do you want to learn the Non-Dimensional God Refining Technique?]

[Yes/No]

Alex confirmed his desire to learn the technique without hesitation.

"Bang"

A thunderous sound resounded in his head, and hundreds of thousands of bits of information began to enter.

"Aghh"

Alex groaned in pain, veins appeared on his head, he clenched both hands in an attempt to remain sane. The pain subsided after a while as Alex relaxed..

"I-Incredible..." Alex stuttered and his expression changed to one of shock.

"How is such a technique possible?"

Alex was astounded that such a technique existed at all.

He was shocked after learning about the technique because he never imagined it would be this damn broken.

The system screen suddenly appeared in front of Alex.

[Non-Dimensional God Refining Technique ]

[Rank: Non-Dimensional]

[Element: Everything]

[Level: 1]

[Requirements: @%#$$$@$]

[Description: You are both everything and nothing; you exist but do not exist. No energy or living being can escape, the host can kill or absorb any type of energy to raise his cultivation.]

[Note: The amount of energy that the host can absorb is determined by his cultivation base; the higher the host's cultivation base, the more energy levels the host can absorb.]

Shock, Alex wanted to scream at what a dreadful technique it was.

It was a cheating technique; one should be aware that a person would awaken only one element, and on rare occasions, two at once, but this technique has broken the common sense of this world.

If such a technique was known by others, Alex was certain that wars would erupt.
