Level 20

Magnus sat down on his bed with the beast core in his hand. After he activated the Qi gathering array the cultivation condition started to improve. Although it will take about a month or more for the outpost to become filled with Qi but it's still a great upgrade from its previous conditions.

Magnus took a small array plate and activated it. This is the core array plate. There are two of them in each room. This setup in order to fill the rooms with Qi so that when any of them is cultivating they will activate it and gather all the Qi in the entire house in that room.

Soon the room started to become dense with the world Qi as Magnus started to feel them with his sharp senses.

He then looked at the core in his hand. The core is not that big. It's the size of a small marble. The Magnus can feel the dense Qi is inside the core. Beasts and Humans both use the Qi to become powerful. Beasts gather the Qi inside its body and turn it into a crystal while humans simply gather them inside their dantian.

The ape was at the peak of tier 2 and he was probably forming his core for a long time. That's why this core even though it's not perfect but it still possesses a great amount of Qi. Magnus's cultivation level is 13. With the help of this he can easily break through to level 19 in one go.

In order to extract the Qi from the core you first need to make a connection with that Qi. It's the same as extracting Qi from the environment. But a little harder process since the core is a solid object.

"Humm" After a few minutes later the core started to shake as the Qi inside the core started to flow through Magnus's hand. The entire scene is visible to naked eyes as the dense light blue Qi starts to flow inside the body. The opened Meridians of his body started to shout crazily and Magnus shouted with intense pain. He can cut off the pain system with his brain but having pain is also good experience. Magnus wanted to become powerful by withstanding the pain not cutting it off.

Those meridians that are opened inside his body started to become wide with the dense Qi while the close meridians are also started to opened. Magnus already has 30% meridians opened in his body. With the help of the beast Qi he opened another 10%. The beast Qi slowly flow inside the meridians and quickly reached his dantian.

Magnus also started his own cultivation. The plan Magnus created is pretty simple. The Magnum Opus section one is the section that's dedicated to cultivation techniques. This is the section that is the result of Magnus's ten years of research. With a low shout Magnus started circulating his inner Qi inside his body in a spiral. Soon the beast Qi started to fall slowly inside the terrifying vortex.

The beast Qi contains the nature of the beast. Soon the dense Qi starts to collide with each other and the beast Qi becomes more wild as time passes.

But Magnus didn't care. He extracted the Qi from the beast core like a hungry shark and soon the blue core colour started to diminish. At one point the core fell from his hand and started to ash.

"Infinite Magnum" Magnus shouted with a low voice. Soon the spiral Qi inside his dantian stopped spiralling and instead they started to form a circular ring that entrapped the beast Qi inside. The rings started to become more wide as more inner Qi rings started to form one top of another. The rings continued to form until the point that the beast Qi is completely hidden inside. The moment the rings are completely covered all the circles start to spin in multiple directions.

It's like a giant bobble that has many watch clogs jumbled up together and all of them spinning without directional control.

Soon the beast Qi inside the Qi bobble is ripped apart from each other and started to integrate with the rings. The more they merge the more powerful the rings are becoming as they ripped the beast Qi with more ease.

Although Magnus initiated the process but controlling that process is not a simple task. Every cultivation technique in this world revolves around absorbing the Qi from the world and marge them together. In order to do that they found that the best way is to form a spiral wave inside the body and let them merge.

For normal circumstances this technique is powerful because natural Qi is not harmful to the body like the Beast Qi. But inorder to digest the beast Qi Magnus build his own method. But this all comes with a cost. Right now Magnus's body is in extreme pain as his entire body is aching. All his unused Qi is used up to create that circle of rings and now his whole body is in a severe case of Qi deprivation.

"I need to absorb the world Qi to. " Saying that Magnus started to release some of those Qi rings from the outer side let the Qi rings to spin around the white circle of rings. Soon the entire scene is starts to look like a black hole. The bobble of rings is like a white start and the spinning Qi wheels are like and accretion disk.

Magnus knew from his memory what's a black hole is. From the memory bank he learned how many stars are formed and work. So he knew how black hole operates. Soon Magnus looked at the situation and at that moment he came to a realization.

"Black hole" It's like one of those myths where people suddenly came to realization in something and broke free from their shackles. The enlightenment. Magnus's state right now can be called enlightenment. He came to the realization that the ways his Qi is forming is that if black hole.

A black hole is like a celestial body that can devour anything. Even is a massive star is infront of it, the star will be ripped apart slowly starts to merge with the black hole.

Soon Magnus starts to make his circle of rings smaller by forcefully comprising it. If a regular people starts to do this they would have been dead by now. The process takes a huge toll on body and any miss calculations can easily leads to death. But Magnus is controlling the entire process from his mind world. As a result he's control over the process is much higher. Also his constantly calculating the process so that any mistake won't happen.

Soon the circle of rings became much smaller as the rings inside are now spinning at a much faster rate. The remaining beast Qi inside the rings are quickly merged. The rings are also started to become heavy and the accretion disk surroundings the rings are starting to spin faster in a clockwise direction. Magnus didn't let go and he started to make the rings and the disk to a stable size. If the rings become too powerful the disk will disappear and later it will be impossible for him to take any Qi out. So he made the rings and the disk to a balance size that can easily absorb and easily provide. This entire calculation is taken on his mind and so without any serious injury Magnus manages to control and stabilize the entire system.

He then contacted the disk with all the Meridians in his body and soon the world Qi started to flow inside the disk. The moment world Qi touches the disk they quickly dragged into the inner bobble and ripped apart. The Qi then merged with the disk and started to spin around the rings. The force of the Qi black hole is so much that all the opened meridians started to become more wide and the close one is forced to open. Soon one by one his closed meridians are starting to open up.

Opening meridian is a long process. Sometimes cultivators took around level 60 to open them all. The reason is may differ from people to people. Some because they have weak cultivation technique, some because the world Qi is thin in their area, some because they can't control it because they're incompetent. But even when all the dots are checked still it takes about level 30 to 40 for a genius to even opened them all.

Magnus soon realised that the world Qi inside the house is completely depleted so he stopped opening the meridians for now. With a simple move he already opened another 4 percent. The remaining 56% can be dealt with if he gets his hands on another beast core or after the house gathered a few more Qi.

With the Qi merging is finished now Magnus needs to break through. Through his meridians Magnus soon send a huge amount of Qi inside his body. Slowly his body started to become filled with Qi. His bones, muscles, blood, organs, cells, skins, heart everything started to absorb the Qi.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack" Total six times a loud crack sound appeared from his body. Magnus's body's aura changed. "Now the last step" Magnus shouted again in his mind. He already broken to level 19 but he feels that he can break through to level 20.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh"........."Crack".

A terrifying blast that shattered the wooden bed completely. Magnus has broke through to level 20. His entire body is sweating crazily. The impurities in his body started to flow out of the body with sweat and vomit. Soon Magnus had an extreme urge to pee.

He stands up and left the house. He jumped across the lake and went behind a tree in the mountain.

"Pisssssssssssssssssssss" It's like a river is flowing out from his body. The pee colour is complete green. Magnus never seen a green colour. His pee is like an acid that is melting the grass that are coming in contact with them.

"This is bless." Magnus said with his eyes closed. He peed for almost 5 minutes.
