The 11th stage of Qi condensation

After the end of their intense struggle, Eli could not stand it and plunged into the land of dream studies.

Warren took a short break and began to examine the changes that had taken place in his body after the body technique had reached level 2. His muscles and skin became many times denser, and his tendons and bones became stronger. According to Warren's estimates, his body was now no worse than that of an average Imperial Enlightenment cultivator. But in addition to muscles, skin, tendons, and bones, the technique also strengthened his internal organs and brought a number of very unexpected benefits. Usually, bodily cultivation techniques only strengthened the physical body, and rarely strengthened the internal organs, but there were a few special techniques. These techniques mostly came from ancient times, which could improve vision, hearing, smell, and even thought processes. Such cultivation techniques were strictly guarded and only the ancient clans and the most formidable cultivators had them, some of whom had already reached the Absolute God realm. The reason for this is obvious. Although all cultivators received a Sea of Consciousness when they reached the deity stage, but who is willing to give up the benefits?

The Sea of Consciousness made it possible to feel the surrounding space and repeatedly strengthened the mental forces, and in the future, with an increase in the level of cultivation, the sea of consciousness also increased. If two identical cultivators come together in battle, and even if one of them is slightly stronger, but the second cultivated a similar body technique, then the chances of winning the first will not be great.

In the battle of equal, well, or close to the development of cultivators, the outcome depends on the little things and one of the most important such little things is sensitivity. If you block or evade every opponent's strike, or see all of their tricks, then they will be unable to deal you serious damage, even if they are somewhat stronger.

This is one of the reasons why in the Divine Kingdom of the Stars, there is a tendency for people from such families to prevail over other cultivators, and only a few can compete with them.

Warren didn't expect the "Inception" technique to be just such a technique, but when he thought about the fact that this technique came from an Ancient Supreme Demon, everything fell into place.

Examining his body, he found an oddity, he had a new meridian, from which chaotic energy flowed with a key. He knew what it was, this meridian was known as the Demonic Heart and could only be found with a fairly pure bloodline, Warren couldn't figure out where it came from, because his bloodline hadn't been pure for a long time.

"Is the "Inception" technique able to increase the purity of the demonic bloodline?!"-although occasionally the descendants of the higher demons managed to awaken the bloodline, most likely it was the technique that initiated this process. At that moment, he realized just how precious a technique he had been able to obtain in one of his adventures.

The demonic Heart also gave the ability to transform into the form of a demon and summon a demonic treasure.

Warren tried to summon his demonic treasure, it turned out to be bright red plate armour, he could not maintain the armour for long, so he recalled it.

"Now the weak body will not limit my further breakthroughs, it's time to start the transition to the 11th stage of qi condensation." -decided Warren.

To go to the 11th stage, you had to compress the qi energy in your dantian, which led to a greater concentration of this very energy, and then you had to reduce the size of your dantian back. The 10th stage was just a preparation for the 11th. The amount of energy compared to the 10th stage did not change, however, a higher concentration of energy increased the explosive power, and the smaller size of the Dantian accelerated the rate of energy replenishment.

When Warren tried to do this, he ran into problems because of the "True Greatness Technique". First, his energy was already compressed compared to other people of similar cultivation levels-this was one of the advantages of the technique, but at this point, it only made it harder for Warren to cultivate. Secondly, Warren had 2 dantians, hence his difficulty only doubled.

Warren sat on the floor of the cave, drenched in sweat. Right now, his cultivation had reached a tipping point-either he could reduce his dantians, or he could cripple them. Given Warren's skills, it wasn't a big deal, but it would take time to recover.

Why did he even decide to break through with two Dantians at once? The answer is quite simple-when Warren succeeds with one of the dantians, he technically passes to the 11th stage of qi condensation. Because of this, his body is slightly rearranged to collect more concentrated energy, and one of the Dantians is not able to work with it, which can lead to unknown consequences. It's like pouring rocket fuel into a motorcycle.

At the last moment, the already tired Warren lost some control, causing blood to spill out of his throat.

"My husband, you can handle it! Come on, I believe in you! " - heard Warren and with the last of his strength completed this step.

"Bang!"- he fell backwards, unable to move a finger. Warren was full of qi energy, and his body wasn't affected, apart from the blood, he spat out. But his mental energy was at zero. He just lay on his back and stared at nothing.

"Are you all right, husband?"-Eli asked, but she didn't hear the answer.

"Sob* Husband, don't scare me!" -she rushed to him, she became very attached to this guy, and he became agitated when he didn't answer. Not knowing how to help Warren, she burst into tears.

"I-I'm fine..."- was the only thing Warren could croak, and he fell asleep to restore his energy.

"How good it was to sleep!"- thought Warren when he awoke.

He tried to move, but couldn't, as Eli's body wrapped around him like a snake, burying her face in his broad chest. When the girl felt the movement, she immediately raised her face, which showed traces of tears. The picture made Warren's heart skip a beat-"This girl was really worried about me. " he thought.

The girl immediately brought her face closer and kissed Warren passionately, starting to cry even more than before.

"Well, why are you crying? It doesn't suit your pretty face at all."- when the kiss ended, the guy said.

"Whimper* W-who's crying here?"- the girl began to deny.

"Oooh, so you didn't cry, and the wet spot on my chest is probably from somewhere else?! Did you do something to me while I was sleeping? Now I'll show you what it's like to bully your husband! " he said, deliberately false.

"Y-you asshole! Do you have any idea how worried I was when I woke up, and you spat out blood and fainted, and I couldn't do anything to help?!"Eli shouted, giving up the pretence.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."- Warren admitted, seeing her in such a state and wanted to continue explaining, but they were interrupted by a purring sound. The source of the sound was the pretty girl in front of him, who was flushed with embarrassment.

"What? I haven't eaten since I entered the Forest of Seven Shadows!"-Eli flushed with embarrassment and stared at the boy threateningly.

"Haha! Of course! Let's get that bird ready. "- Warren chuckled under her withering gaze.
