BXBX NOVEL Chapter 299
“Yes.”
“What are the cultivation levels above Dominator realm?”
“Above Dominator there is half-saint and saint realm, which ultimately leads to the path of ascension.”
“Then the rock belongs to a Half-saint.”
“Yes. A truly powerful one at that. If I have to estimate his cultivation level, he would be extremely near the saint realm. Another hundred years and he/she would have broken through the saint realm easily.” Li Meng was flabbergasted on hearing the source of the rock.
“A half-saint.” He went into a joyful trance for some time.
“You should concentrate on the matter at hand. Even if you have a treasure like this, you wouldn’t be able to use it to break through the Chaos level.”
.....
“Why not?”
“Because the rock itself is not the treasure. The actual treasure is hidden inside it. The cultivator to whom this rock belonged had left a powerful seal on its surface. It is not something you could break.”
“But the Crimson world artefact should be able to break it right?”
“It can. But you need to make a very important decision before we go ahead with the formation.”
“What is the decision about?”
“Whether you would give in to the treasure, or let most of its power go to waste and try to attain the Chaos law realm.” The Keeper’s words struck a chord in Long Tao’s heart. He had to let most of the treasure go to waste if he wanted to attain the Chaos law realm.
“We don’t even know for sure that you would be able to attain the Chaos law realm or not. But if you were to give up on Chaos law, then the treasure inside is capable enough of boosting your Qi strength to the Qi Dominator realm, along with the inheritance left by the cultivator himself.”
“Why would the treasure go to waste if I wanted to use it to understand the world law?”
“The treasure inside is something which was once an integral part of the Half-saint. If you directly absorb it, it would begin to modify both your Qi and body and boost your cultivation level directly to a Qi Dominator without any side-effects.”
“The person who arranged the treasure must have thought a lot about his future inheritor. But the fact remains, that Chaos law can only be achieved in the QI King realm. Hence you would need to use the treasure as a catalyst to understand world energy.”
“But the problem with such an activity would be the expenditure of the treasure’s power, which couldn’t be regained. Hence if you want to understand the secret of world energy, while remaining within the Qi king realm, you would need to give up on most of its power.”
Long Tao was pushed into a state of dilemma. He wanted to obtain power as fast as possible. The treasure would be the shortest way to gain a huge amount of power without any side effects. But he walked the path of Dominators. How could he be satisfied with heavenly laws?
“I have decided. I would like to use it as a catalyst. I am going to learn the world energy and formulate my laws.”
“Good.” The Keeper was happy to see that Long Tao didn’t lose sight of the bigger picture. They aimed to make Long Tao the strongest being within the world. How could that be achieved with heavenly laws? They had to surpass the world itself to be powerful enough to dominate it.
“What is the treasure within that rock?”
“The cultivator whom the rock belonged to had gathered all his energy, understanding and power into creating a stream of blood essence. The rock contains that blood essence within itself. Once an inheritor is capable enough of unlocking the formation, he/ she would be able to gain the blood essence of the half-saint.”
“If a cultivator tries to absorb it and is capable enough to sustain his soul through the process, not only would he be endowed with a huge amount of energy which the half-saint concentrated within the drop of blood, they would also benefit in terms of their body.”
“The blood essence which he hid within the rock has been refined to an extreme degree to not have any impurities which had been gathered by the original owner. Hence it would directly lift the absorber’s body to the very peak of martial Dominator realm at the very least.”
“There is another hidden reward within the blood essence, which is the memory of the Half-saint. All his life experiences along with his knowledge and arts would be transmitted to the inheritor.”
“If those idiots would have been able to discover its secrets and absorb the essence, wouldn’t they become powerful cultivators by themselves?”
“This is where the irony lies. If the inheritor is not fated enough, not only would he not be able to absorb the essence, but in turn, his being would be absorbed by the essence itself.”
“When I said that the body of the cultivator would be promoted directly to the peak of Qi monarch, that is all there is to it. I never said that the soul power would increase too. If the cultivator who absorbs it doesn’t possess enough soul power, his will would be crushed by the tribulations of Martial Dominator realm.”
“Since the body had been suddenly upgraded to the highest level, subsequent tribulation will fall one after the other. If he could survive, his body would burst as a result of overload and the blood essence would absorb all the energy and search for another inheritor.”
Long Tao gulped a mouthful of saliva. His hair was standing up upon understanding the cruelty with which this inheritance was designed.
‘Would my current level of soul cultivation allow me to bear the inheritance?”
“No. Your soul energy is still not powerful enough. You would require to jump a whole level to reach the basic requirement that would give you a chance to even obtain the inheritance. The best state is to try and absorb the essence when you have reached the peak of Qi Monarch realm.”
QI Monarch realm was quite far for now. Long tao couldn’t wait for such a long time.
“What are my chances of forming Chaos law without the essence?”
“Your understanding of law energy is enough already. But you would need to start concentrating on world energy and that would only be possible if you start meditating and studying the world energy only. It would take you 20 years in the outside world to be able to reach the level required for establishing Chaos law base.”
“You mean to say that I would require 200-year of actual cultivation time to set a chaos law base. How difficult is it?”
“Very difficult. The path of domination is not an easy one to walk, and it’s not a fast one.”
“I guess there is only one way to go then. We will use the blood essence as a catalyst to understand world energy. When can we begin?”
“It’s not easy to extract the blood essence, and it’s certainly not easy for the artefact to control it in the way we want. The artefact would require another update before it could handle the power.”
“So, I need to break through one or two more times.”
“You can do that, or find resources of emperor and monarch level which could heal the damage of the artefact. Only by upgrading the artefact once again could we control the energy within the essence.”
“You would also need to increase your soul energy and enhance the understanding of law even more. It is going to take another2 or 3 breakthroughs to reach that level.”
“It means that I would have only 3 more chances to form Chaos law base.”
“Yes.” The Keeper said in a serious tone. Long Tao nodded in understanding. Initially, he thought that with each breakthrough he would be able to get closer to the required level. But the truth disappointed him.
“I guess we can only leave it on fate. Let’s leave to find a second brother and get the details regarding the second mission I have to complete.”
“You should hide your cultivation level. He might get shocked by your speed. Gathering attention on yourself is not an intelligent move unless you have absolute power over your surroundings.”
“No need to hide. I would just say that I came across a good fortune within the mountains. I need to show the authorities my value, or they wouldn’t find me the worth of investing in.”
