20 Chapter 20: Breakthrough? to the Spirit Veins! Another Function Unlocked! (2/2)
” The serpent nodded in a daze as it went towards the end of the cave when it suddenly realized what happened. Angered by this he went forward to charge at Dylan but when he was charging he saw that Dylan was not dodging but instead scratching his head.
”What a troublesome snake.” Dylan remarked as he silently disappeared in front of the serpent and he appeared right on top of it.
”[Boulder Breaking Fist- Perfection]”
”?!?” The serpents eye's were bulging as he knew he should not have offended such a person and he only caused his own doom.
*BANG!!*
A loud explosion happened and the serpent died without a head as it was smashed.
”Finally some peace and quiet. Now, I advance!” Dylan spoke as he raised two hands and circulated the ”Cosmic God's Business of Galaxies” cultivation technique.
Two white stones appeared in each and he crushed them as soon as they appeared. He had a total of 175 Primal Stones! Dylan decided to name it as annual stones because they were stones which started his cultivation path. His aura quickly rose as he broke through!
Peak 4th level Spirit Core
Pinnacle 4th level Spirit Core
Initial 5th Level Spirit Core
He was shocked to find out that he required 10 Primal Stones just to break through the Initial 5th level but he still gritted his teeth as he continued.
Intermediate 5th level Spirit Core
High 5th level Spirit Core
Peak 5th level Spirit Core
Pinnacle 5th level Spirit Core
Dylan was even more shocked that he needed 20 to advance from the Initial to the Intermediate, 25 for Intermediate to High, 30 for High to Peak and 35 to reach the Pinnacle stage. Using the ”Cosmic God's Business of Galaxies” was really different to the Mysterious Cloud Technique. It's grade is higher and it's consumption rate was higher too! He was also schocked to see that his natural energy was ofhigh grade already!
”Ughh, I still have 45 more! I hope it's enough to break through!” He started using all remaining Primal Stones and decisively pushed through but he was lacking by a bit.
”If only I had 5 more, I could easily breakthrough then.” Dylan felt bitter about his lack of Primal Stones.
”Wait, from some light novels I have read. A lack of accumulation of Qi, Magic, or Spirit Power could be remedied by concentrating the accumulated energy to a single point and let it burst forth to the entire body. The sudden influx of energy would cause a qualitative leap on energy to but is an extremely dangerous task to do...” Dylan remembered some of his memories of the light novels he has read and tried suggesting it for himself.
”I need to risk it!” Dylan had that unwavering determination in his eyes like what the past Dylan had.
So Dylan executed this method. He concentrated all of his natural energy to the center of his Spirit Core! He accumulated it to the point where the energy felt like a bomb waiting to explode. Dylan waited for the moment where the energy would try to burst the most to release it. After several minutes, he said, ”NOW!”
The sudden explosion of energy flowed throughout his body as a excruciating pain followed. He gritted his teeth as blood sipped from his mouth.
”I have to endure!” Dylan was showing his tenacity while blood continued to sip from his mouth.
”Arrrrrghhhhhhh!” He roared as he broke through to the Spirit Veins Realm!
After half an hour, Dylan's complexion became better as he reinforced his cultivation with several circulation of Cosmic God's Business of Galaxies cultivation technique.
”So this is... Spirit Veins Realm.” Dylan smiled because he finally brokethrough. He felt extreme happiness in cultivation and deesired to become even stronger.
”This... Is the life I want.” Dylan said to the wind as a handsome smile appeared on his face.
”Time to leave.. Huh?” Dylan stood up and prepared to leave when he saw something inconspicuous in front of the mansion gates.
”What are those?”
He saw gray colored stones and there were 17 of them he saw a single silver stone slightly bigger than the rest.
”17? Could it be that this are stones awarded for every 10 costumers while this stone is for a hundred costumers?” He quietly deduced. It was highly likely that it was the case because 175 Costumers had 17 tens and 1 hundreds. So, it was the most probable theory for now.
”I wonder what they do?” Dylan grabbed one gray stone and crushed it. The energy flowed through his body and felt extremely comfortable.
”Oh, it's just like the Primal Stone... WHAT?! I advanced?!” Dylan was even more shocked. Because he was initially only initial 6th level Spirit Veins Realm and now he was a Intermediate 6th level expert?! How ludicrous was this?!
”I- it- it's... A higher grade of Primal Stone?” Dylan was dumbfounded by this new function he discovered!
