From MC's Perspective:
A week later,
After having breakfast, I head to the teleportation tower. For the past several days, I have been focusing on improving my essence cultivation.
I hope today I will touch the barrier in essence cultivation. If I break through the essence barrier, then I simultaneously attempt a breakthrough in body cultivation.
Everything has been calm lately. Even the flame faction warriors have been keeping silent for some reason. No one gave me any trouble lately. I hope this situation continues in the future.
After walking inside the teleportation tower. I stepped up and stood in the middle of the platform. Then I selected the server for transfer.
Right after, blue light lit up on the platform.
Swish~
I disappeared from the spot. When I opened my eyes I found myself standing in the dense forest.
Red Moon Tower- High Peak Mountain,
When I looked up at the sky, I saw that the clouds were clear. Then as usual I started to move towards the destination. The place at the foot of the mountain has become my daily cultivation spot.
After a few hours of walking, I reached the spot. I could have used the flight ability to reach here. But the risks are higher. I don't want to be spotted by the Red Moon Tower People.
So every time, I come here. I have been low key. Then pushing down these thoughts, I found the rock to sit down on. I sat cross-legged and activated my perception ability.
Then I closed my eyes and started to run the celestial lightning scripture. Right after, the lightning rune in my consciousness started to flicker.
Slowly, I began to absorb the purple energy from the surroundings. When the energy entered my body, I guided the energy according to the method.
After circulation, the refined energy settles down in my dantian. Then I continued to repeat the process. After some time, I felt the presence of a barrier.
My heart was at ease. Finally there is some result. Then I continued to repeat the process. Slowly, after the barrier became clear and solid.
I feel I will breakthrough within the next two sessions.
Now that the limit has been reached. I can't refine the energy more. The dantian's space has to be expanded next. For that I have to be patient until I get a breakthrough.
So I got up and chose to exit.
Two days later,
I sat in the same place and started to attempt the breakthrough. I closed my eyes and started to run the lightning scripture.
When the energy entered my body, I guided the energy to break the barrier. The purple energy collides with the invisible barrier.
But the barrier remains intact. I felt no crack or weakness. The barrier appears to be solid. I have been doing this for two days. But the barrier is showing no signs of cracking.
I continued to repeat the process. After some time, I felt some changes in the barrier. It's loosening all of a sudden. Seeing that, a wave of ecstasy rose in my heart.
Then I continued to attack the loosened barrier.
Crack~
The essence barrier shattered. And I felt a new rush of energy inside my body. Inside the dantian, the size is beginning to expand.
The movement stopped a few seconds later. Compared to before , the size was increased by half.
Mid-level-Elite (Lightning Essence Cultivation)
The next second, I found changes in my physique as well. The changes were subtle but I know the veins and meridians looked somewhat sturdier than before.
I know the body changes are nothing when it comes to the blood element method. But I guess it has something to do with scripture. The ancient scripture also improved the physique slowly.
So that physique can adapt with a domineering lightning element in each level.
Then I continued to cultivate the purple essence in my dantian. From outside, the dantian looks normal. But inside the area is large.
The ancient totem is standing in the middle covered by mists.
After a few hours, the dantian was filled with purple essence. Earlier, the ancient totem made a move to purify the refined purple essence.
After seeing that everything was fine. I stopped cultivation and opened my eyes. The breakthrough brought me a sense of ease. Now I don't have to rely on body strength to defeat other Elite Warriors.
Even if those top warriors came back from their retreat, I can defeat them. I also feel the lightning element has become powerful after the breakthrough.
I suddenly got the urge to try out.
I turned around and spotted the tree close to me. I raised my hand and pointed at the trunk of the tree.
"Lightning finger technique," I muttered.
A thick purple ball gathered at the tip of my forefinger. The next second, I released the lightning power.
A thick purple beam shot at the target in a blink of an eye.
Thundr~
When the lightning beam collided with the trunk.
Boom~
The next second, the thick trunk was blasted into pieces. Leaving behind the tree debris on the ground.
I looked at the result in disbelief.
I just used a small amount of purple essence for the target. But the impact was great. A hint of satisfaction appeared in my eyes.
Then I got up from the seat and decided to leave.
A few hours later,
I appeared back inside the teleportation tower. The pendant in my neck is blocking the inspecting eyes.
No one can see through my realm.
After a few minutes, I walked inside my room.
A small black layer of impurities can be seen over my skin surface. Seeing that, I quickly went to take a shower.
Time passed,
At night, I began to search about the monster zones. There are quite dangerous monster zones present under the academy.
I decided to collect as much as monster cores in the coming days. Starting from the barren monster zone tomorrow. I don't know how many are required for the breakthrough. Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.
The following day,
I walked inside the teleportation tower. After reaching the platform, I selected the server for transfer.
Swish~
I disappeared from the spot and appeared back in the vast open field.
Seeing the familiar atmosphere, I immediately activated my perception ability. Last time, the black horned snake monster made it difficult to hunt it down.
This time, I don't know what will appear?
Through my perception, I saw no sign of a monster.
Then I choose the direction to explore. I moved from the spot and headed towards the east.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Growl~
Shortly after, I heard a monster sound. Hearing that I stopped my movement. And dashed towards the direction where the sound is coming from.
A 10 feet brown leopard appeared in my sight. Not one but two. The two brown leopard monsters are fighting against each other.
[Class-5 Brown Leopard Monster]
My appearance stopped their fighting. The two male predators turned towards me. Seeing that I wasn't surprised but felt glad in my heart.
My workload is going to be reduced.
One of the brown leopards suddenly leaped towards me.
"Lightning finger technique"
I released the lightning beam targeting the monster's abdomen.
Thundr~
A dense lightning beam pierces through the air. In a blink of an eye, it reached the monster's abdomen.
Boom~
The lightning power tore through the monster's organs.
Thud~
The brown leopard dropped dead on the ground after losing its vitality.
Seeing that the 2nd brown leopard tried to flee.
I released the lightning finger technique again.
The powerful beam lands a blow in the blink of an eye.
Pfff!
Blood splattered on the ground. The monster then bleeds to death. Seeing that, my eyes gleamed with twinkle. Earlier, I needed more than one move to kill the monster.
But now single finger technique alone is enough to take a monster's life.
Then I collected monster cores from the corpses. After placing them inside the storage ring, I began to dissect the parts.
Time passed,
After killing the brown leopards, I didn't come across other monsters. Seeing that I decided to leave. I couldn't wait to consume these monster cores.
I returned to the academy a few hours later.
After walking inside the room, I went to take a shower. When I walked out of the shower. I finally noticed the time.
It's almost evening time. I sighed inwardly. I didn't even notice the time. After changing into comfortable clothes, I head to the dining hall.
The following day,
After completing the morning routine. I entered the training room to cultivate. I sat cross-legged and took the Class-5 Monster Core from the storage ring.
I held it in my palm and began to run the blood element method. Right after, the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker.
Slowly, the monster core energy entered my body. I began to circulate the energy according to the blood method. But immediately after I felt the solid barrier.
Then I guided the energy to break the barrier. When the energy collides with the barrier. It remained intact without any crack.
After feeling that, I continued to repeat the process.
