Chapter 5 The discovery

"This...."

Even though Tian Huang saved his life, the library hold many Xia family Martial Techniques, how could others be allowed in?

Remembering how it's impolite asking other Mages to see their Magic book library in Lugia Continent.

"I don't need your Martial Techniques, bring me books and scrolls about this world."

"Ooh ofcourse bro, I'll let the servants bring it to you later."

Even though Xia Dishan was curious where Tian Huang came from, since the latter didn't want to talk, he left after ordering the servants.

After finishing the food, Tian Huang started reading the books and scrolls, he learned that this Overlord city is one of the 10 strongest cities backed by Sects or Clans, the cities are Overlord city, Alchemy city, Martial king city, Nightsky city, Dark city, Artisan city, Nancheng city, Barbarian city, Eternal Will city and Imperial city.

The Sects and Clans backing them called the 7 Sects and 3 Clans in Origin Plain are Transcending Sect, Pill Incense Sect, Martial God Sect, Half Moon Sect, Bloodfiend Sect, Fire Melting Sect, Devil's Whisper Sect, Berserker Clan, Free Spirit Clan and Jax Clan in the same order.

~Time flashes by and 1 week has passed...

After reading all the books and scrolls Tian Huang understand a lot more about cultivation,

Except for Body Forging, which has 9 stages, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core and Nascent Soul all have 4 stages, as for the legendary Soul Transformation, not much is known, since it's only a legend and this Overlord city is in a backwater area, how much could they know about Soul Transformation. The strongest known powerhouses in Origin Plain are only Advanced Nascent Soul.

The knowledge Tian Huang gained this time is beneficial, he knows what to do now.

The plan is to get stronger and travel to more powerful Continents, since there aren't much knowledge he can get in this backwater place.

Tian Huang open his mouth and swallowed the Condensed Body pill, cultivate Ancient Mortal Scripture, before long, ding! Tian Huang broke through to Qi Condensation and could finally feel Qi, Qi is different yet similar to Mana, like they come from the same source, but also contradict eachother.

Not sure if it's his Primal Origin body or his knowledge about Mana that helped Tian Huang sense and absorb Qi much quicker than even the Top Prodigies. Before long the Condensed Body pill medicinal effect wore off and Tian Huang have cultivated to peak 2nd stage Ancient Mortal Scripture, which is equal to Peak Qi Condensation.

'Hmm as for Foundation Establishment I will need pills like Foundation Building pill to get a firm Foundation.'

Although Tian Huang could break through Foundation Establishment if he cultivate for a week,

but Tian Huang didn't do that, since he want a stronger Foundation, as they say: Haste makes Waste.

'Since I'm now in Qi Condensation, I wonder if I can absorb more Mana...'

~Time flashes by and 3 days has passed...

In these 3 days Tian Huang found three major discoveries after many tests.

First: Qi will be absorbed by the body, nuturing the cells and strengthen the body, the more Qi absorbed the stronger the body.

Second: Mana can be pulled and and currently maximum of 160 Mana spheres can be collected,

Magic will still fail even with 160 Mana spheres collected, Mana will ignore the magic sequence and command.

Third: Mana can not be stored no matter how hard I try, it seems that without a medium to hold the Mana, it will dissipate after a while. A human body capable of holding Mana is very rare, even in Lugia Continent only 1 in a million is born with a body suitable for Magic.

Thinking that it's time to hit the road, Tian Huang had some conversation with Xia Dishan, helping him understand Qi better and some minor cultivation ideas as thanks for the food and drinks. Tian Huang went to the City Lord's Hall to bid farewell to Xia Yongde.

"City Lord, thank you for your hospitality, it's time for me to leave."

"Oh, then accept this as reward for helping my son and have a safe travel."

'It seems there's more to this young man than I thought.' Xia Yongde thought as he saw Tian Huang's cultivation level. From 9th grade Body Forging to Peak Qi Condensation in less than 10 days! What kind of monster is this?
