425 Path to the Divine (1/2)
”Alright. Since you have the Elemental and Chaos Meridians, it shouldn't be that hard for you to pass the Tribulation. Xiun also said that you should be okay, so I guess we are fine.”
Feifei also commented.
”Cinty will definitely succeed. After all, that means she can finally go see Kiirion.”
Cinty's face immediately got a little red.
”Cough, cough. Anyway, what are you planning to do now that the Heavenly Fragments issue is over here in Dalin?”
Krune and Feifei nodded and then said.
”We will basically cultivate and practice for the time being. We will also take some missions outside in case we need to test our strength and things like that. I guess it will be quite a leisure time for the next few years. We are also planning to travel to a few different places with Fie and Liriu so that they can see and experience more things. That should help then to select what kind of Foundation they wish to build.”
Cinty agreed that was indeed the best plan for the moment.
”Very well. Now you all can leave. I need to prepare for the Heavenly Tribulation.”
Krune and the others nodded, leaving right after.
A few days later, everyone gathered once more in the Tribulation Field. Present at that moment were they and a few trustworthy wisps which were part of the management of the Wisp Worlds. Other than them, the field was completely empty. After all, Cinty is entering the Divine Path Realm, so it has to be kept a secret.
In the middle of the Field, Cinty took thousands of high-rank Spirit Stones. After preparing herself mentally for a few minutes, Cinty attacked the barrier of the Divine Path Realm. Striking the barrier could be said to be the right way to describe this Breakthrough. This is a moment when the Cultivator or Demon Beast forcefully opens a path leading to the Divine.
Each Stage of the Divine Path Realm is one step closer to take a View of the Divine. That is also why the next Realm is called Divine View Realm. After entering the Divine Path Realm, the Cultivator or Demon Beast's Divine Soul will be connected to this Path. The Divine Soul will then benefit from the Power of the Divine, become stronger with each stage.
What Cinty was doing was to break the barrier between her Divine Soul and that Path. That is also the moment that Xiun told her to be careful. One must not be complacent when stepping on the Divine Path for the first time. After all, the power of the Divine is not to be trifled with. Even though a Divine Path and View Realms can't use that power, they will still be in contact with it.
Her Divine Soul has to get used to used and use its power to strengthen itself. Without enough strength, the Divine Soul won't be able to take the next step, which means that one can't advance the Stages of the Divine Path Realm.
Only someone at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm can connect oneself with the Divine Path. Before that, they can't even feel its existence, even if they know that it is there somewhere. Cinty was no different. The day that she reached the Peak of the Void Breaking Realm, she immediately felt that faint connection with this Path, it was also proof that she was ready to try.
Cinty Gathered an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy, converting it into Elemental Source, and then Chaos Energy. Once enough conversion was made, and she gathered the energy needed, she would strike that barrier between her Divine Soul and the Divine Path. Only the Divine Soul is able to step on that Path, which is also the reason why the Soul is called Divine.
Time passed, and Cinty had been striking the barrier for half a day. Still, she wasn't in a hurry. There isn't a time limit for the Breakthrough to start with. Not to mention that Heavenly Tribulations only happen once a breakthrough is finished.
It wasn't after an entire day that Cinty finally Broke the Barrier, and the Path appeared under her Divine Soul. Cinty Slowly stepped on it and prepared all her energy. Sure enough, the moment her Divine Soul touched the Path, it was assaulted by some kind of Energy that Cinty never felt before.
Obviously, that was the Divine Energy! Cinty could finally understand why one had to be careful once stepping on it. Even though she was ready, her Chaos Energy Protection was almost instantly shattered. If not because she made sure to save a lot of Chaos Energy just for this moment, she might have been expelled from the Path with severe injuries to the Divine Soul.
