Chapter 18: Perfect Cultivation State
Chapter 18: Perfect Cultivation State
Kali only needed a moment to think over their next move. She let loose a knowing smile at Cain as she told him, “I know what you’re most likely thinking, began cultivating right now. Nobody should be around here, and we obviously need more power now. And….Oh! You do remember what I said about this, right?”
“Of course I do, and you have the dragon charm on you, right?”
Cain’s question prompted Kali to reach deep into her pocket. A faint glow shimmered from her pockets as she quickly pulled out two beautifully crafted charm necklaces.
Cain’s eyes were immediately drawn to the charm necklaces. Both necklace designs were perfect in every aspect and an unfathomable aura that simply couldn’t be described in words exuded out of both necklaces. These charm necklaces were crafted in the shape of a mythical Dragon beast and painted in a brilliant golden hue.
Without even using the charm necklace, anyone could tell this is an unfathomable treasure.
And Cain realized these treasures was exclusively for his and Kali’s whims. This thought only made Cain’s blood pump in rapid anticipation for what’s to come.
“Here you go, Cain.”
Kali tossed over one of the dragon charms towards Cain.
As Cain caught the dragon charm, she continued to say, “I don’t think we should cultivate for too long. The dragon charm will crazily increase our speed, and it will also help with stabilizing our foundation. However, I believe we should still go out and fight to properly stabilize our realm after a quick breakthrough. Plus, we need true combat experiences anyway.”
“Mnh….yea, considering how this thing was made, this is a good idea.”
Cain readily agrees while caressing the golden dragon charm necklace with a curious gaze. At that moment, his mind suddenly started to recall just how this unimaginable item was made.
As far as he and Kali were aware, this dragon charm was made by the combined forces of a peak divine tier World Spirit Force master and with the purest essence from their previous Ancient Dragon God Emperors and Empresses.
The purest essence used was several blood drops from each Dragon Emperor and Empress.
And the blood drops used didn’t just come from any place on their bodies.
Their blood came directly from their veins, meaning this was their pure blood essence!
Pureblood essence is the accumulation of everything a cultivator has acquired throughout their life. Their energy, Laws, cultivation techniques, and all other sorts of unfathomable power would be condensed into a single drop of pure blood essence.
All cultivator’s Main Veins is the lifeline for them to achieve nearly all feats in cultivation.
And as one grows stronger, their Qi Veins would experience several tremendous transformations, morphing into something entirely different and far more powerful.
And with the unfathomably powerful pureblood essence from several Dragon Emperors and Empresses, several World Spirit Force Masters worked together to craft this Dragon Charm somehow.
The World Spirit Force Masters made the Dragon Charm solely to affect one’s cultivation speed. And with the basis it was made from, it wasn’t an exaggeration at all to say that any ordinary mortal cultivator could become an overload of their entire planet in just a short time.
Thinking more clearly about it now, Cain could actually see why his other Dragon siblings vehemently coveted this Dragon Charm.
With this, any one of them could possibly soar even higher than their entire Royal Family.
Furthermore, his Eldest siblings apparently have been stuck in a bottleneck for quite some time. With this Dragon Charm, they both would have a clear pathway to finally surpass that bottleneck.
However, that day would never come from them.
Even as Cain didn’t fully understand the rules or properties of how this Dragon Charm was made or how it works, he was determined enough to never let it out of his hands.
Plus, if it does fall into the wrong hands, that could come to bite him back in the ass hard.
Pushing his thoughts past any ominous scenarios, Cain sat down into a lotus position at the same time with Kali.
Like he was expecting, to cultivate the forms of energy in this universe, they needed to be in a calm and focused state. Thus, the lotus position not only helps keep their stilted body healthy and strong but will also allow their mind to fall into a specific calming state.
As Cain and Kali closed their eyes and focus, complete and utter silence befalls the cave.
In an instant, the sibling duo went entirely still as if they had practiced this position numerous times in the past.
They smoothly calmed their previous rapid heartbeats, taking small, quiet sighs that couldn’t be heard at all. While they pacified themselves, Cain and Kali focused their minds on perceiving the environment around them.
The nearly foul air and weak energy didn’t disturb them at all. Rather, Cain and Kali let themselves be immersed in this Mortal Planet different atmosphere.
Seconds flow by in a flash.
For an average cultivator on this planet, their first time cultivating would be a far longer and arduous process.
Some wouldn’t be able to fall into an entirely focused state so easily and quickly. Plus, to completely rid their minds of all troubles is challenging to achieve.
For the sibling duo, however, no such troubles could be found within them. Already, within seconds, the duo enters into a completely focused state.
In the Spirit Opening Realm, Cain and Kali achieving this state so quickly would arouse anyone’s interest.
But as soon as a single minute passed, a massive change occurred within the sibling duo.
Precisely at one minute, very vague streaks of faint blue energy started to swirl around both Cain and Kali. The light blue energy would be difficult to spot, but they were undoubtedly there.
If anyone were to know that this was Cain’s first very first time cultivating, they would be fraught with awe.
In just a minute, he managed to go beyond a completely focused state and achieve a perfect cultivation state!
A cultivation state signifies that one’s mind had crossed past the mortal boundary to perceive the forms of energy permeating the air.
Cain actually didn’t feel much different when crossing into this state. All he really felt was a very vague prickling in his head before he heard a faint sound of glass shattering.
Afterward, Cain saw a blue layer of energy form in his mind. At the same time, he could also fully feel a familiar energy running all around him.
This energy was nearly the same as the energy flowing within his muscles.
This was Spirit Qi!
Without even having to push himself too hard, Cain could fully perceive Spirit Qi flowing within the air.
However, before Cain continued on cultivating, he noted a striking difference between his own Spirit Qi and the Spirit Qi in the air.
The Spirit Qi in the air gave Cain a very light sensation. It was as if he was getting blown by a slight gust of wind.
While the Spirit Qi within his muscles gave him a tremendously heavy sensation. It was like he was getting forcefully pulled in a powerful whirlpool.
‘This has to be the density Kali was talking about.’
Cain quickly made the discretion between the two Spirit Qi. And right then, an idea flashed into his mind. Would the Spirit Qi he absorbs always convert into his dense type of Spirit Qi?
As his curiosity arose over this thought, Cain fell into a natural rhythm.
He wasn’t exactly sure how he was doing it, but as he simply thought about pulling Spirit Qi into his body, the Spirit Qi in the air was actually drawn right towards him!
Cain was like a powerful vacuum as he effortlessly pulled Spirit Qi towards his body.
And when the Spirit Qi drilled into his body, Cain felt….well, he actually didn’t feel any resistance at all.
Spirit Qi simply ran through his head before flowing down to the rest of his body.
For only a brief moment, Cain was puzzled.
From Kali’s explanations, he should’ve felt a wall forming in his mind, blocking him from absorbing Spirit Qi. Once this happened, Cain would’ve needed to comprehend the properties of Spirit Qi. Cain thought it would be like figuring out a formula in one of his boring math classes.
However, Spirit Qi passed so smoothly through Cain’s mind, he nearly thought there was no comprehension requirement.
But right then, Cain suddenly recalled his grandmother’s intense reaction. Going off from that and this moment, Cain reached a conclusion.
He is one of those overpower cultivating geniuses!
Even if this was only the first level in cultivation, he knows his actions weren’t ordinary at all.
Kali specifically mentioned that even the top-ranking geniuses in their Royal Family needed days or weeks to comprehend Spirit Qi.
Although Cain did take a considerable jumpstart in reaching two levels in the Spirit Opening, that was all because of an outside source. It wasn’t his own comprehension achievement, meaning he was still at the starting point in terms of comprehension experience.
This is why Kali mainly thought they could significantly cut the days or weeks’ time to mere hours with their Dragon Charm.
However, throughout this entire time, Cain’s Dragon Charm still didn’t activate!
At that moment, Cain had a multitude of thoughts swirling around in his head. Even though his focus was partly split, he could still keep up his cultivation state. And he was mainly wondering just how he should activate his Dragon Charm.
But, Cain couldn’t focus on these thoughts for long when he felt a critical change with the Spirit Qi he was absorbing into his muscles.
Even before the Spirit Qi reached his muscles, the energy from was already morphing, becoming far denser than before.
And precisely when the Spirit Qi reached his muscles, it fully converted into his unique dense quality of Qi energy. As Cain expected, all Qi absorbed into his body would convert into heavily dense Qi energy.
With that confirmation, Cain fully immersed himself into tempering his muscles for Spirit Qi.
From the 1st level to the 3rd, Cain would need to temper all of his muscles with Spirit Qi. This will give the stable foundation to then start his Qi transformation process and begin infusing Spirit Qi into his tendons.
At that moment, within Cain’s hand, a silver light brightly shimmered out of it.
The slumbering Dragon Charm had finally activated once Cain seriously started to cultivate. On the outside, rays of Spirit Qi flow even faster into Cain as if he was a flame attracting moths.
And inside of Cain, he felt his Spirit Qi circulate even faster in his muscles, quickly pushing him to the next boundary.
Around twenty minutes later, the same silver light began to sparkle out of Kali’s hand. Her cultivation speed was slower than Cain’s, but she still managed to make the Dragon Charm activate.
Like this, the sibling duo cultivation sped up to mind-breaking levels.
