Chapter 90 - Rainbow Meridians Your Head! (1/2)
The process continued for over an hour before finally finishing after the Spiritual Energy Meridians retracted from that spatial gate, Krune noticed that they started to change, he looked at that and his mouth twitched.
”Why does it have to be Rainbow too?”
That's true, Krune's spiritual energy meridians now had the same colors as his irises and hairs, little light looked at that and confirmed that they had the same color as his elemental core too.
”Try to see if you can connect to the elemental source energy on your own as they did.”
Only then did Krune wake up.
”That's right, if I can keep connecting to the elemental source energy, I won't need to care about spiritual energy anymore.”
Krune immediately summoned his Spiritual Energy Meridians and tried to do that, but he soon found a problem.
”Wait, first of all, how exactly did my Spiritual Energy Meridians even create that spatial gate?”
Little light also didn't know.
”I have no idea, in theory, without the help of formations, only at the Void Breaking Realm would one be able to open a spatial gate, and this is totally different from simply teleporting over, I reckon that no formation master in your planet would be able to make a formation capable of opening a spatial gate that can be kept open.”
Krune tried to put them together like they were before but nothing happened, then he tried to attack a single point in the air as the meridians did, but that was no good either, Krune was puzzled as he could be.
”Let me try to cultivate with them, maybe there is something different now.”
Krune concentrated once more and started to cultivate, his Spiritual Energy Meridians started to absorb the spiritual energy of the surroundings as they always did, but suddenly, Krune noticed that something else different.
”I see, they can now absorb spiritual energy and convert directly into elemental source energy as well.”
As mentioned before (check chapter 6 if you don't remember), the Spiritual Energy Meridians are able to convert the Spiritual Energy around straight away, cultivators and demon beasts can't take the Spiritual Energy as it is since it would not be compatible with their cores and dantians, they need to convert it first, and the Spiritual Energy Meridians conversion capacity is far above any normal meridian, the elemental source energy is exactly the same thing, Core Formation Realm cultivators have to convert the spiritual energy into elemental source energy for their use.
”But this speed…”
Krune noticed that the majority of the Spiritual Energy was the same as always, just around 10% of the Spiritual Energy taken for conversion became Elemental Source Energy, the rest was still the same converted Spiritual Energy that he always used.
Little light saw that and said.
”What are you complaining about? This is already very good, if I was you, I would keep this energy aside instead of using for cultivation, it will help a lot during your Core Formation Breakthrough.”
Krune then asked.
”How will it help me there?”
Litle light answered with another question.
”Why do you think cultivators and demon beasts need so many spirit stones when they are breaking into the Core Formation Realm?”
Krune was taken aback with that question, but couldn't find an answer, he knows that the process includes having part of your own soul being absorbed by the core, but he never thought on what the spiritual energy was used for, seeing that Krune didn't know the answer, Little Light continued.
”The reason is that only the soul alone isn't enough, the core itself needs that spiritual energy to finish its final transformation, or could it be that you thought that the core of a Core Formation Realm was exactly the same as the one you had during the Foundation Establishment?”
Little light continued.
”This is also the reason why cultivation becomes slower, although you can still use Spiritual Energy for battle, when you talk about increasing your cultivation, the conversion has to be done first, otherwise, it would be much easier to reach the peak of the Core Formation Realm, think about this, does it make any sense to you that the same spiritual energy that you always used to cultivate before is also effective in the Core Formation Stages?”
Krune felt enlightened.
”I see, now that you said that, it really looks weird that higher level cultivators need the exactly the same kind of energy for cultivation, and when I think about my breakthrough, since I will need a lot of spiritual energy, if I use Elemental Source Energy instead, the quality of the core last transformation will improve, and so will the Divine Soul inside, am I right?”
Little light chuckled.
”You aren't that dumb after all.”
But then Krune got a little curious.
”Do you know if other cultivators are able to get the same result as me?”
Little light answered straight away.
”There are some treasures out there which can help to better nurture the Core and the Divine Soul inside as well, but I reckon that this Spiritual Energy Meridians of yours is a first.”
But then Krune thought about something.
”In that case, can't a Foundation Establishment use the Elemental Source Energy of a Core Formation Realm?”
Little light just said.
”You already know the answer to this question, don't you?”
Krune felt a little embarrassed, he did know indeed.
”Cough, Cough, the Elemental Source Energy that the Core Formation Realm cultivators convert are only compatible with themselves, others wouldn't be able to use it.”
In fact, Krune just wanted to know if there was a way from him to provide this energy to help Ao, Yusa, Lakin, and everyone else, but he understood that it wouldn't be possible.
”What kind of treasures can be used for that then?”
Little light snorted.
”Treasures that you absolutely won't find in this piece of shit planet that you live in.”
Krune then sighed, that difference between planets was just too great.
”Sadly, I can't connect to the Elemental Source Energy behind that spatial gate anymore, I could few that there was so much there.”
Little Light, on the other hand, didn't think it to be strange.
”It's already a wonderful thing that your Spiritual Energy Meridians were able to connect to that at all, I really can't understand how a Spatial Gate could be open without your cultivation being at the Void Breaking Realm, that's too unrealistic.”
Krune nodded, since he can already store that energy, then that's enough, it's not like his cultivation had any need for that before, it only means that he will need to cultivate at the same pace as he always did.
Little Light then said.
”By the way, you meridians now don't simply absorb spiritual energy anymore, so Spiritual Energy Meridians isn't exactly a proper name for it, what about simply call then Rainbow Meridians?”
