Breakthroughs

A week passed by rather peacefully, after passing on a cultivation manual suited to her family members and guiding them in the process the family closed up inside the cave during their cultivation.

Although they had no break through in their cultivation the purity in their spirit energy had vastly improved but they still needed time because they had a higher rank than little white.

Little white managed to refine most of the energy from the beast core and made progress on both of her cultivation manuals but found that the surrounding spiritual energy in the surrounding area was very low.

The energy in the immortal world is of high quality and quantity, a mortal world could not compare but even so the spirit energy in the forest was somewhat lacking.

After constantly absorbing and refining energy she finally managed to absorb enough energy into her beast core which completely transformed.

Her beast core underwent a transformation becoming tougher and showing two flickering balls of energy within her beast core which represented her attribute.

The black energy was somewhat bigger in size compared to the white energy, showing that the black energy broke through to the first spirit gathering stage.

One little ball of energy was creamy white while the other was a a very dark black showing that the energy was in its near purest form.

She could only use one at a time after some experimenting unless she tried to combine the attributes together however at the moment of contact they instantly repelled one another.

Little white could only sigh at the situation but the idea of being able to switch between energy attribute in different situations may be useful at times.

In fact displaying her weaker light energy she could decieve an enemy into thinking she was weaker and use it to her advantage.

Most of the techniques little white practiced in her previous life were suited to her light attribute but although she knew of dark attribute martial techniques she had never practiced them.

Adjusting to her new body and utilising her light attribute techniques would take some getting used to but she would have to start from scratch when learning dark attribute techniques.

After adjusting her mind she began to circulate her cultivation manual sending her spirit energy flooding through her body and clashing into an obstruction.

That obstruction was the first closed meridian to break through, met with such a tough task she did not hold back her energy and fiercely clashed with little resistance due to her spirit energy being so pure and stable.

Her body underwent yet another change, showing signs of what happens to humans when they step into cultivation.

Her body began to discharge its impurities and left a layer of black sludge, she had become very dirty and smelled terrible.

This raised a commotion within the cave forcing her out to bathe in the nearby river, those who smelled the stench coming from her body felt like vomiting so they could only wonder what happened to the little deer from a safe distance.

After washing her whole body clean her skin and hair seemed to have become almost like a newborn babies, it looked to be soft, clean and without imperfections.

Her previous light injuries that had healed however seemed to have vanished as if she had never received them in the first place.

"Impressive, the changes are beyond my expectations! Even if I fight beasts above my current rank I think I can still beat them if I continue to strengthen my body. I guess training with the little rabbit will have to begin tomorrow." Little white seemed to be very satisfied with the results as she made her way back home and spent some time with her family and making plans for the future.

A few days before after purifying his ice attribute spirit energy the little rabbit took the same step as little white.

Although it took him some time to break through the first meridian he continued to gather and refine as much energy as possible.

The same night little white broke through he had finally stepped into the 2nd rank of spirit gathering.

He decided to push himself ever further that night, cultivating like he was possessed until morning when he broke through the second meridian after several failed attempts.

His body had completely changed from when he first received little whites guidance, just like little white, his fur had become like a newborns and he now had an extremely ice cold aura radiating from his body when he activated his spirit energy.

Not just that, as he practiced hopping around he found that his overall speed had greatly increased along with his strength.

Although his bodies toughness could not compare to other beasts, his speed and small flexible body help him move freely to avoid attacks easier.

Even stronger beasts may not be able to kill him unless they are able to actually catch him.

While things were peaceful for the small family and the rabbit… The forest was becoming increasingly restless and showing signs of more conflicts among the beast clans and within the small country nearby others began to move forward with their plans.
