Cultivation Level Up
Somewhere near the outskirts of Xianchu City
A middle-aged man dressed in what looked like a dark green uniform, was floating on top of a set of destroyed buildings in a forest. The buildings were completely destroyed and there were numerous dead bodies piled up in and around the ruins.
He should at least be at the level of a Core Formation cultivator!!
He was observing the ruins very closely and after a moment, he closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry my son... Looks like I was too late..."
The middle-aged man opened his eyes after a while, "An Enemy, at least at my level, but who is it? All the dead bodies here are mortals. Not a single cultivator in sight. Not even a distress signal. The battle lasted for a while though. Did any of the major families interfere? I am more than sure they had killed the cultivators... I cannot perceive any of their auras."
Just as he said so, a masked figure suddenly appeared in the distance and flew towards the middle-aged man.
"General Diao, there are no auras of the cultivators from this base anywhere near here. We cannot wantonly use our spiritual senses inside the city, so it took some time to scour through it. However, no clues have been found."
The middle-aged man named General Diao snorted a little, "My young friend Pan, you have just broken through to the Core Formation level and are now my equal. I appreciate your assistance. However, it seems that the enemy has used certain methods to wipe out the all the cultivators in the base at once and somehow hid their bodies out of our detection."
"Sigh... My Son is probably already dead. My only regret is not finding his body to bury him. But I swear on the name of my family, once I find the culprit I will show no mercy."
...
Meanwhile in Meng Tian's consciousness space, his Soul body was in the process of rapidly swallowing the hundreds of recovery serums and pills. It took some time to finish off a total of 100 recovery serums, 20,000 qi cubes, and 7000 recovery pills. Once he was finished with this task, he has obtained 2.8 million Energy Points, enough to raise his cultivation by many levels.
Meng Tian has purposely left out the remaining sources of Energy points, in case of emergencies during his two-month training camp. He also wanted to see if there were any other uses for them. Hence he was left with 101 recovery serums, 5060 qi cubes and 2,909 recovery pills.
He had completely left out any worries with respect to the destruction of the Green Devil Cult's base and the deaths of all their members. However, that did not mean he would stop being vigilant. Meng Tian had kept his spiritual sense masked and active around 10 kilometers of his house.
It was also because of this that he saw a suspicious man in a Green Devil Cult's uniform roaming around his vicinity. Meng Tian expected something like this to happen and used a function of his new skill- Shadow of the Devil to leave a soul tracker on this man.
It was possible because this tracking function was dependent on using his spiritual sense. Just as he left a tracker on this person, a new window opened up in front of his eyes. It showed a huge map and at the center of it was a green dot.
A red dot was swiftly moving away from this green dot. Meng Tian was immediately entranced by this function that he ignored this 'red dot' and used his spiritual sense to leave soul trackers on his parents.
Once he did so, two more red dots appeared on his map window. He felt quite at peace knowing he could find the whereabouts of his loved ones, so long as they are alive.
Each dot on this map window had a different 'aura' associated with it, making it completely unique.
"Soul Aura... Now this is interesting, a perfect tracker... But what is the range?"
Meng Tian willed the map to shrink and only then did he realize the size of the map. It was a circle with more than 100 kilometers of radius. Even though he spread his spiritual sense in just 10 kilometers around him, the map still showed what seemed to be the maximum extent of his spiritual sense.
In a jolly mood, he started observing the red dot that represented someone from the Green Devil Cult on his map window. He only saw this person go far away, stop at a place for quite sometime, before swiftly leaving the range of Meng Tian's map.
Although he could not exactly tell what was going on, Meng Tian was more than sure that no one had been able to associate him with the incident in the forest. So, he kept his worries aside and started using up his Energy Points to level up his cultivation.
100,000 Energy Points spent... [Core Formation Lv.2 (0/20,000)]
200,000 Energy Points spent... [Core Formation Lv.3 (0/30,000)]
300,000 Energy Points spent... [Core Formation Lv.4 (0/40,000)]
400,000 Energy Points spent... [Core Formation Lv.5 (0/50,000)]
500,000 Energy Points spent... [Core Formation Lv.6 (0/60,000)]
600,000 Energy Points spent... [Core Formation Lv.7 (0/70,000)]
700,000 Energy Points spent... [Core Formation Lv.8 (0/80,000)]
There was a finger nail sized golden pellet floating on top of the 1000 petal beige runic lotus, on the 9-layered golden runic foundation inside his dantian. Just as he leveled up, the beige lotus started spinning with increasing speed and a unique energy was sent into the golden pellet.
As this energy reached the pellet, it was greedily absorbed and one could see a gradual increase in the size of the golden pellet. It kept on doubling in size for each level up and a round golden ball covered by ancient runic symbols formed on top of the beige lotus.
Once he finished adding the Energy Points, the beige lotus slowed down its rotation speed. However, his golden 'core' which was stationary till now, gradually started rotating and picked up speed instantly. Finally, the beige lotus stopped spinning while the golden core continued its rotation at a constant speed.
But the level up was not yet complete as his Soul shone with a golden-light and new windows started popping up in front of his eyes.
[Strength +7000]
[Speed +7000]
[Agility +7000]
[Intelligence +7000]
[Spirit +7000]
[Primary Stat Synchronization Complete]
[Current Health: 8,000,000/8,000,000]
Only then did he remember that his stats also level up when he increased his cultivation. Meng Tian was quite happy with his progress which started from zero to the final levels of core formation within a day, as he observed his Status window.

"Hmm... What else is there to do today? Well, it is not even 11 PM yet. Too many things have happened today. Sigh... Maybe I should just sleep early."
Meng Tian was staring out the window looking at the moonless sky, when a notification sound pulled him out of his reverie. It was an email from Teacher Tiao regarding the details of the training camp.
"The Training Camp huh... Interesting..."
