57 Energy Realms. (1/2)

”Surely... There must be something I can work on in here.”

With eyes that were beggining to flash, Su Min tilted his head and gazed at his chest. A single symbol sat there, accompanied by nothing else but 8 empty spots. It rotated and rotated, and with its incomplete outline, Su Min's eyes narrowed.

This symbol depicted a simple golden man meditating, but its lustre and life was incomplete and disorderly. Su Min knew this was because he was at the very beginning of cultivating this symbol!

However, for what the cultivation stages were called for the ancient races, he has no clue. He only knows that each symbol represented a new level in power. Similar to the Martial Cultivation Stages, but it wasn't exactly the same...

”Surpass the First Ancient Energy Realm?”

A faint thought emerged into his head as he remembered what the black figure told him. This figure told him to surpass the first of the Ancient Energy Realms. He told him that to do such a thing he had to cultivate his first symbol completely, so what was this Ancient Energy Realm..?

The figure even told him that this would make him invincible to those in the Martial Consolidation cultivation stage! Though it was clear that the Ancient Energy Realm didn't refer to his power, his cultivation, it referred to something else...

Su Min conjured a guess that the 'Energy Realm' was, in fact, the energy he could sense in the world!

He could see and manipulate two of these energies. The Martial and Ancient! However, he has a paramount skill in the Ancient Energy. It is because he can, by his will, command such energy around him. He can't do this with Martial Energy, not even close!

It was as if he was an immense talent in the ways of Ancient Energy, and of course, this came from his terrifying bloodline! Yet, he had never comprehended the energy to get to this stage, no, he was just given it.

It was like he didn't even need to bother with understanding the principles, as he would inherently just know. Su Min himself hadn't even comprehended the energies of the world, and he doesn't know how to do such a thing.

Yet...

”Maybe the more I cultivate this symbol, the more I gain in the comprehension of the world's Ancient Energy?”

This thought struck him for a moment, and that was because it contradicted the very essence of comprehension! Su Min may not know a lot about cultivating nor comprehending, in fact, he knows near nothing! But, he can at least summarise that comprehension comes from understanding something yourself.

You can't just know, no matter how talented you are. You have to at least bother to study, yet Su Min has never done such a thing. If what he said was the case, then it would truly be an astronomical advantage!

All he would need to do is cultivate, and the comprehension would naturally follow. For most, this would be a faraway dream that would make them drool, but Su Min has such a dream!

However, a couple areas seemed to be a little blurry to Su Min. Like what determines how much he naturally understands? Is it the talent of his body, which he knew was ranked 'Low'. If that were the case, would high ranked Ancient One bloodlines have even more unfathomable abilities at the same level as him?

Also, if what the black figure was true, then surpassing the first energy realm must need, by his conjecture, him to comprehend the energy to its fullest... Maybe it has something to do with surpassing a level in comprehension, like ascending to a new realm, new energy.

Then what would the advantage be if you surpass the energy realm, would the energy become more powerful, more explosive? He could only guess.

Another, rather pivotal notion, also came into his head.

”Though... How do I cultivate this symbol?”

It was all fine speaking about this ludicrous advantage, but Su Min needed to actually cultivate! Yet, how could he do such a thing?

This was completely different from the lifeforce method he had to undertake in his previous life. This was because he wasn't using lifeforce to cultivate no, he was in fact using it to just construct a foundation to cultivate!

And now that he has gotten to that point through this body, how on earth would he go any further?

”I can't seem to even see life force anymore, so I guess that isn't the correct method to cultivate anymore... The only faint method I have is that strange space I used to comprehend those two fist techniques...”

”Wait...”

A sudden premonition struck Su Min!

”Comprehend... I have comprehended...”

It was due to the fact that he has comprehended! They were the two Fist Techniques, The Might of the Ancient and Golden Eclypse!

”Maybe to further my cultivation, I need to comprehend the limitless techniques in that space..? How ironic...”
