Chapter 354 - Very Close
Chapter 354 – Very Close
Ning arrived at Woodlight mountain and took Anya back with him. The girl was very excited to reach the Spirit Transformation realm.
"Did you already do it, master?" she asked.
"Yes, I broke through a day ago," Ning said. "I've already taken Ely and Hyesi there, you are the only one I will take for now."
"Oh, why is that?" Anya asked.
"The environment in that place is full of Qi, and that's what allows people to break through so easily. However, if I bring way too many people, I don't know if there will be any problem there."
"There probably won't be any, but I'm still trying to take it slow," Ning said.
Anya got a little sad hearing that her family wouldn't get the chance to easily break through to the next realm.
"Don't worry," Ning said after seeing her face. "Once you're done, you can start telling a few people, and I will come to get them in a month or two."
"Ah, that makes me happy," Anya said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go," he said and disappeared once more before appearing inside the island with the Origin.
As soon as they were inside, Anya could immediately feel her body trying to break through without her control.
Ning quickly showed her one of the mountains where she sat down and started her breakthrough. He had already explained the process to her, so it should go without any problem.
Ning continued flying in the air and looked at the other 2 mountains where Ely and Hyesi were having their breakthrough too. Although their breakthroughs took a lot of Qi, the massive island thankfully had enough of it.
'I should definitely let it recover before bringing in other people though,' he thought.
Once he was sure they were safe in their breakthroughs, he too decided to rest a little. He flew down next to the Qi pond in the center and sat on the side.
"Hah," he laughed after remembering something. "So, I'm about 12 days older than I would have if I were on the outside huh? I never knew time could be so weird."
He sat there for a few hours, waiting for them to get close to breaking through.
The air in the island shifting a massive aura was released from somewhere to his front.
"Oh, Ely is halfway done," he thought. "It should be a few more hours now. I guess I will just have to wait a bit more."
And so he waited for another hour.
He was a bit bored by now, but still, he waited. Just then, something happened that he was not prepared to hear. The system gave him a notification.
<You haven't reached the cap of energy absorption for the last 3 days>
Ning was for sure confused when he read it for the first time. "I haven't? I'm sure I've been cultivating for the last 3 days. That should have been enough. Did my cap change without me knowing?" he wondered.
But then, he finally realized what was probably the answer. "Wait… does the cap refresh faster in this place? System, is that it?"
<Yes>
"Woah!" Ning shouted with surprise. Just then, Hyesi was halfway done too. The aura he released wasn't any less than Ely's either.
He was distracted for a few seconds and got back to talking with the system again.
"Wait, so is my cap not filled right now?" he asked.
<No>
"Oh, I should fill it quickly," Ning thought and cultivated for just a little bit. Since the Qi in the area was very dense and he was also in a higher cultivation realm, he could now gather Qi much faster.
In just a few seconds, he completely filled his cap for the day.
"When is the next reset for the cap?" Ning asked.
<In 12 minutes>
"Woah, that's awesome," Ning said with a smile. "Then that means I can collect my energy 13 times in a single day, right? That's close to 17 Billion energy in a day right? I can easily collect many with that speed."
"How much longer will I need after that?" Ning wondered. He decided to check his current energy amount.
"Status."
[Status
Name: Ning Ruogong
Energy: 932.56 Trillion
Separated Energy-
Heat Energy: 551 Billion
Sound Energy: 49 Billion
Qi Energy: 931.62 Trillion
Kinetic Energy: 28 Billion
Aether Energy: 0
Skill: …]
"Damn, that's so incredibly close," Ning thought. "So, at 1.28 Billion for 13 times a day, I will need 6 days here to reach a Trillion. Meaning, in just under a year, I can get my body."
"Wow," Ning thought. "I didn't realize I was this close already. Still, getting a body alone won't help me much. After my body, I should get my talent too, and then focus on gathering 1 Quadrillion energy to unlock the next energy in line. Or was that just to learn about it. Whatever, I should focus on getting my new body."
He waited for 10 more minutes and he could once more gather energy. Once his cap was filled in just a few seconds, he now only had to wait for less than 2 hours, as opposed to 24 hours he needed to with his normal cap.
In less than an hour, Anya started reaching her halfway point. The aura she released was second to none. In fact, her aura felt even more massive than his own. After all, everything he had and learned, he gave it to his closest people.
And of them, Anya was the only one that got the best from the very beginning. Not even he could compete with her in that. Her foundation in cultivation was perhaps the best in the whole world.
Ning was really proud of that and it showed on his face with his massive smile.
Soon, another hour passed and Ning collected the energy once again. The Aura from the 3 people was starting to give the feeling of getting close to climax.
Soon, they would all successfully breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation realm.
