New Feature and the 10 Years Maturity (1)!

"Let's continue."

Upon filling his stomach with the fish that he had caught from his backyard, Araw immediately continued his interrupted cultivation. 

Sitting in a crossed-legged manner as he again spread his senses around him, slowly sensing the flow of spiritual qi present within heaven and earth while carefully studying their behavior. 

If he thinks that his understanding regarding them is already sufficient, Araw would immediately attempt to absorb them into his body. 

Although in the end, the spiritual qi still ended up escaping his grasp, his knowledge and experience on how to attract them already deepened—increasing at visible speed every time he ended up in failure. 

Their somewhat incorporeal image already had become more vivid inside his mind, allowing him to easily discern their elements with a little effort... Unfortunately, absorbing them into his physique still poses great problems. 

Swish-

Soon, with complex breathing—inhaling and exhaling based on his understanding of his cultivation manual—the spiritual qi nearby began to approach Araw's physique, gliding within the atmosphere with ethereal grace before caressing his body, sending an inexpressible jolt to his very existence...

Following the rhythm of his breathing, the spiritual qi, green in color, finally entered his body! 

In an instant, cold energy, akin to being plunged into fresh water in the midst of summer, filled Araw's senses, causing him to release a moan of comfort... Which muddled his consciousness momentarily. 

"It's not the time yet! Araw, you need to hold your emotion," Araw reminded himself. 

Knowing that it wasn't the time to become happy, Araw hurriedly reigns his emotion. Taking a deep breath before focusing his mind—controlling the spiritual qi present inside his body—and started manipulating it based on his cultivation manual. 

Without rushing things, afraid that he might commit a mistake, Araw circulated the single thread of spiritual qi within his physique, following a certain root before eventually storing it inside his dantian! 

Boom! 

In an instant, after the spiritual qi entered his dantian, a sensation of swelling transmitted to his being, making his muscles, blood essence, and internal organs swell momentarily before strengthening at visible speed—being tempered by the essence of qi! 

In addition, his senses also elevated to a certain degree, allowing him to further sense the spiritual qi around him! 

"Success! I finally managed to absorb a trace of spiritual qi!"

Unfolding a triump smile on his face, feeling that the Qi Condensation realm was already within his grasp, Araw continued absorbing the spiritual qi within the atmosphere, causing the air lingering inside the room to churn slightly every time he exhaled. 

With his success earlier, attracting the spiritual qi in the surroundings became easier; in just a single hour of following the cultivation manual, Araw had successfully stored 5 spiritual qi within his physique, already halfway to the first stage of the Qi Condensation realm! 

Huff~

In a blink of an eye, another hour passed by... 

Exhaling turbid air through his nostrils, Araw slowly opened his eyes, unfolding his brown iris beyond as excitement could faintly be sensed within. 

Without any accident occurring, Araw successfully broke through to the 1st stage of the Qi Condensation realm! Causing his overall strength to increase by at least 50% and finally allowing him to wield spiritual qi to a certain degree! 

A thing that he longed for and desired when he fought the deer a year ago. (Two same words in order to show his longing.) 

Just thinking of him summoning flames out of nowhere and causing wildfire around him, Araw's body couldn't help but tremble in pure excitement... Unfolding a wild grin on his face before attempting to manipulate the 10 qi resting inside his dantian. 

However, before he could start following a certain spell written within his cultivation manual, planning to summon elements to his palm and act cool for a while... 

The familiar bland voice of the system, giving a rich sensation of non-living, suddenly echoed within Araw's consciousness, causing the eyes of the latter to flicker with anticipation as he immediately stared at the panel that mysteriously appeared in front of him. 

Ding! 

[ Congratulations upon successfully breaking through the mortal limits. As recognition for your efforts, you will be given the following rewards:

+ 100 Teaching points, a New Feature (Unlock), 10 years of maturity of the World Seed, and a Booklet for the Qi Condensation realm. ]

... 

"I see... So instead of breaking through small stages, I would only gain the system reward after breaking through realm."

Seeing the rewards he received from the system, Araw couldn't help but feel delighted... Instantly looking at his now 107 teaching points with a smile while already planning how he would spend them. 

With his advancement, the resources he needed in order to hasten his cultivation speed would also increase—not only in quantity but also in quality—making him sigh upon comprehending that his hundred teaching points were nothing but a mere illusion. 

"Fortunately, it would last for quite some time. For now, I should check the other rewards."

Opening the system panel, Araw couldn't help but raise his brows, instantly sensing the difference within...

Compared to before, where he would feel a sensation of disorder every time he opened the panel, akin to roaming in a room filled with trash, the system, after he successfully advanced, was now organized! 

Furthermore, it now showed his character panel, which contained detailed information about him!

[ Scan (Feature): Discern the real-time information of the being within 10 meters of the host... 

Note: If the target's realm was higher than the host by 3, the host wouldn't be able to pry the target's information. ]

"Physique? This was the first time I heard them..."

Unfolding confusion on his face, only showing a half-hearted smile upon carefully reading the description of his physique—not that surprised upon seeing that it was related to him achieving the enigmatic 10th stage—Araw immediately focused on the new feature of the system.
