Zhang Shui was shocked, why would peak experts from the whole world gathered around and performed some prophecy on him. It is like peeking his future which his permission and he doesn't even know what the Divination said. This made him nearly pluck his hair off his head. He then made a face asking for an explanation from Kanna.
"I think it's probably your aura been sensed by the peak Supreme Sovereign Experts! It's the only explanation I can think of because when reaching the peak of cultivation in a world your senses would be keen all around the world and form a link to the world! Thereby it's no surprise they sensed your Aura, but don't worry they won't find your location!" said Kanna and assured him.
After hearing the explanation, Zhang Shui relaxed a bit but still, he had the urge to get stronger quickly.
"Okay, Kanna! I'm ready could you start the refinement process of the pill! Just take this single pill and for the other, I'll save it for my sister!" asked Zhang Shui.
"OK!" said Kanna.
He sat cross-legged and started revolving Qi according to the cultivation manual.
[**HIGH ENERGY SPIRIT PILLS** STARTING REFINING PROCESS FOR HOST**]
****
After getting the notification he started to feel a strong surge of Spirit Qi being refined and Yin and Yang Qi started flowing slowly through his veins. If it is other their body would've exploded but for Zhang Shui, it's flowing Qi like a soft river.
He felt comfortable all through his body. His cultivation started rising from Intermediate Spirit Attaining Stage to Peak Spirit Attaining Stage.
After a minute with a feeling of gush like a broken dam, he felt a new space opened up in the space where his Dantian is. He felt the space where the Dantian is being strengthened by the Yin-Yang Qi at a faster rate. He could feel his Dantian becoming stronger and steadier. After his Dantian place was steadied and stronger after the strengthening process and after a minute the remaining Qi started storing itself.
Normally a cultivator when having a breakthrough from Peak Spirit Attaining stage to Foundation Stage will make his Dantian stronger enough to withstand the surge of Spirit Qi. Stronger the foundation easier the cultivation will be in the future and will be stronger than their peers at the same stage. That's why people when cultivation will consider this an important stage because their future cultivation depends on it.
When Zhang Shui breakthrough to Initial Foundation Stage his foundation was quite stronger than peak Foundation stage experts. This is an advantage he gained from the Yin-Yang Qi cultivation manual.
After breaking through his cultivation stopped at Peak Initial Foundation stage just a step away from Intermediate Foundation stage.
Feeling the brimming Qi in his Dantian Zhang Shui felt elated. He can feel his body becoming muscular like an explosive energy waiting to be revealed. After his reaching Foundation Stage, he can feel his body can withstand the weight of an entire ocean. But he knew he really can't. This feeling just shows how much his foundation is stable.
After feeling the power coursing through his body Zhang Shui can feel his confidence increasing. Because during each stage of breakthrough there will hugely change in power level. A Foundation Stage can equal about 100 Spirit Attaining Stage in power. Breakthrough to next stage can increase one's power about 100 times compared to the lower stage under Shredding Mortality Stages as for Sovereignty Stage is a totally different matter because Sovereign Stage experts start following the path to uncovering the truths and laws of the world; making them stronger by utilizing world laws around them.
But Zhang Shui is already equal to Peak Foundation Expert rather can say that he is undefeatable under Foundation Stage due to his Yin-Yang Qi. If he ever reached Peak Foundation stage he can rival an Initial Core Formation Stage expert; might even kill him. If this news is ever known to the world it might cause heart attack to all the cultivators around the globe because it proves that this boy is 100 times more powerful than his peers at the same stage; what kind of concept is this! This is pure Monstrosity!
After feeling the power coursing through his body a nasty stench suddenly attacked his nose. The Mighty stench nearly made him threw up the milk he drank from his Mother's breasts 12 years ago. He found black liquid oozing through his pores on his body. Without thinking he ran for the artificial pond in their backyard and jumped. He cleansed himself using the Koi fish as a brush in the pond. Only after ridding himself of the black waste he felt relaxed.
Looking back at the pond he found the 12 Koi fish in the pond floating lifeless "If Mom ever finds out, I am dead! I should probably find new fishes to replace them!" Zhang Shui thought to himself. After remembering about his Mother he felt sad again and so his thirst to get powerful increased.
Kanna and Mia popped up his side after he dressed. Mia looked at the pond and felt sorry for the fish. Meanwhile, Zhang Shui was looking in the mirror, he found that his Skin tone changed to pure white without any blemishes. He found out that his skin tone is better than the Princess of the kingdom. With a skin like that, he thought even girls would be jealous.
"Kanna! Mia! Am I powerful enough to face Peak Foundation Experts!" asked Zhang Shui.
"If you consider Strength no one can rival you under Core Formation Stage. But in a real fight an Initial Foundation Stage Expert can easily kill you!" replied Kanna.
"Why?" asked Zhang Shui while feeling confused.
"Sigh! Even with your strength after the breakthrough, you would be like an elephant which only knows to charge with sheer force nothing more. But a Genius at Peak Spirit Attaining Stage can easily overwhelm you with his techniques! Do you understand now!" replied Kanna.
After getting enlighted about what he was lacking, Zhang Shui was now eager to learn new techniques. Seeing is enthusiasm Mia recommended him to check out the System's Store function which was previously locked due to his lack of cultivation.
After hearing from Mia, Zhang Shui eagerly opened the Store function from his System. After that, a transparent Screen popped up in front of his eyes.

Looking at the options Zhang Shui was ecstatic. He even forget about his lack of skills and started thinking about which option to choose. Looking at his greedy look both Kanna and Mia sighed. They then woke him up from his thoughts and asked him to choose SKILLS option. Zhang Shui then smiled embarrassingly and selected SKILLS option since it is important for him now and since he can go through other options after.

"Hey, Kanna what's with this Basic and Paid Skills option and what that contribution point means! Didn't you guys tell me some Essence Qi is required for exchange" asked Zhang Shui?
"Yes! We told that because we thought it might be same as in our Realm! But when they merged it totally changed! Actually, we are ashamed to tell you that we don't know that much about this System! We can only control only a few parts of it! Others required your permission! It's totally unlike the Gods and Devils System!" told Kanna.
After learning about the uniqueness of his System Zhang Shui was intrigued. He also came to know that in the Upper Realm, they used Heaven Coins or Essence Liquid Qi for Transaction. Whereas he needs contribution points.
"Since the store option was locked, we didn't get to know about the contribution points! But now since you've unlocked the store, the contribution points can be earned via doing missions from the Missions center option" said Kanna.
"What kind of missions?" asked Zhang Shui.
"The Missions will be given as where you would be required to save or change the fate of certain people or certain something it could be anything Kingdoms, beasts, villages etc, who the heavens deem worthy because sometimes even the heavens make mistakes and cannot act directly thus you can earn by changing their fate or by saving them!" said Mia.
"Then what about the existing contribution points?" asked Zhang Shui.
"The System allocates you contribution points for each breakthrough through small stages and the rewards doubles for each breakthrough! For Spirit Attaining Stage 10,000 points likewise increases in double 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, 80,000 until the Initial Foundation Stage! You get 160,000 points for Intermediate/Middle Foundation Stage! So work hard! replied Kanna.
After knowing about how he got his points, he read through the available skills from his System.

Zhang Shui found a lot of basic skill sets that improve his foundation skills. He found the regular stances were free but others required him to complete specific missions. For now, he thought of training in basic skills sets.
"Hey, Kanna what type of weapon do you think is suitable for me!" asked Zhang Shui.
"Let's go through a test about what type of weapons is suitable for you according to your hand bone structure and usability!" said Kanna.
"OK!" nodded Zhang Shui.

Looking at suggestion Mia exclaimed "WOW! Shu'er you're a rare talent! Dual wielders are considered a rare talent even in Upper Realm! But Dual Wielding different weapons can be considered a monster!"
Knowing his talent in Dual weapon wielding made him happy. Because he knew the advantage he can gain in Dual Wielding.
After selecting the skills with a flash he found the BASIC SWORD AND BASIC SPEAR MOVES in his head.
He thought of trying out the moves now but he found the sky already got darker and so he returned to his room and started reminiscing his past childhood with his family and fell asleep.
