Breakingthrough Gold Stage
Sitting cross-legged, Di Tian closed his eyes while questioning himself about the meaning of 'Realm', as he was focused about it, the spiritual energy around him start to move towards him, unbeknownst to him, he entered a enlightenment state, which allow to the user to enter in state optimal for the cultivation.
As he was unaware of it, he found himself standing in a dark and chaotic space, at first he was confused, but as he looked around him, he spotted nine shinning heavenly stars above in the sky, their light would shine sometime and dim the next moment.
For a moments, he couldn't understand, but as he kept observing those stars, he felt familiarity.
'They belong to me' that was his first thought, continuing his observation, he finally understand what those nine stars are. It was mystical, Cultivation was laying bare in front of his eyes, and a flood of profound information was sent into his mind as he continue watching those stars.
"Nine Veins, each vein present a star, if I'm not wrong, this is my state of my mind, and those stars are the first 'Realm', The stars lights kept flickering, which means that I'm not in harmony yet. The nine veins aren't real, they are created by using a cultivator 'nine veins' as a medium, after harmonizing those two type of 'veins', a person could merge the nine stars to build a giant core star which is the cultivator basic foundation, so the 'Realm' are kind of material that enforce a cultivator foundation.
The three first 'Realm' (9 veins, Harmonious Spirit, Gold Core) are foundation as a cultivator use the spiritual energy in the world to baptize his body and create a 'core'.
The two second 'Realm' (Nascent soul, Spirit severing) are soul foundation.
The two last 'Realm' ( Void Refinement, Void Fragmentation) are the first step of a cultivator to touch laws and concepts of the 'World' with 'space' as standard 'Law'.
The 7 'Realm' are merely first step!"
The more he knew about those informations, the more he feel pain, it took a whole effort from him to understand all of that, because he was ejected from this state.
As he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but vomit blood! a backlash!
But there wasn't any pain in his face at all, rather, he was happy, he could feel now that there was no bottleneck, he understood now what the 'Senior' meant about studying Realms.
If the senior was here, he would surely slap him to death. what he meant was just studying the two first 'Realm' to exert more power, he wouldn't have thought that the guy would go and understand the whole first step.
After all, This state of enlightenment was a rare occurrence, and only people at the verge of breaking through the second step would encounter it, that if they were 'lucky', but he was just too damn lucky!
Feeling the state of his body, his eyes were shining!
Is that what they call 'Earth fusion'? it was what appears in his mind, his current state was the most fitting description, this fusion was the only way for a person to sever his spirit, and that was the reason why the first elder still didn't breakthrough. Because of his rivalry with his father, he was bounded to create a demon heart, so the reason he wanted to kill his father was both for cultivation and the sect master position.
Still, he had some doubts, because other than that, he could feel a foreign energy inside him, other than spiritual Qi. But, based on the previous owner of the body memories, he didn't find any accurate informations.
"Let's start the Gold Core building" tossing everything on the back of his mind, he headed inside the palace, and there he found countless rare medicine herbs, spiritual treasures. Taking a handful of those resources, he started his core building.
Refining those treasures were as easy as drinking water, other than his high talent, insights and luck, the spiritual treasures were already pure, so he started greedily devouring the energy and his cultivation started to rise little by little.
The whole process took a whole three months, he could have already breakthrough in a day, but he didn't he choose to condense his energy to build a strong foundation and a strong core.
The cores are divided into a lot of types :
Green Core: any average or low cultivator could condense one after breakthrough.
Crimson Core: above average cultivators and talented ones.
Golden Core: and called also Supreme Core, only supreme geniuses could dream of.
And finally the legendary Diamond Core, it is rumored that only some records mention some brief informations about it, but no one believe it. Currently no one in the continent ever seen one.
As Di Tian already understand the meaning of the 'Realms' add to that the extravagant resources he had, he repeatedly refined his core until he reached the limits.
Suddenly the sky changed color, a dense black clouds started to appear above in the sky, Golden lightning roared destroying the calm scenery, a diamond sphere float away from Di Tian Dantian, and the moment it appeared, dense golden annihilating lightning bolts as thick as tree trunk started bombarding it.
A Heaven's Degree to Annihilate this anomaly!!
Still, Di Tian was in a trance unaware of all that.
The more lightning bombarded it, the more the diamond sphere glitters, and after a nine bolts, the scenery turned calm again while Di Tian opened his excited eyes!
It seems he was unaware of how much the heavens were frustrated!
'At least, show a serious face, at least pretend to be serious!'
"Diamond Core of the legends!" that's right, he condensed something that brings Heaven's rage above him, still he didn't seem to recognize it.
His cultivation Realm was at the initial stage, but the strength he could wield could only described as terrifying! he could easily kill Middle sage 'Nascent stage', and even fight the peak ones.
Looking towards the ethereal palace, Di Tian couldn't help but smirk!
"Let's start refine it too" Di Tian put his hand on one of the pillars of the palace, and its size started to decrease while making it's way towards his body. After absorbing it, he finally took the Golden Orb, and started to inspect it.
