After Old Man Whitebeard left, Arthur went to his room at the rented building. His room was located upstairs and had a balcony...just the way he likes it.
Within his room, Arthur sat on the bed as he reviewed his goals once again. While meditating he went through his memories of his and the other's journey to Heaven Sword City, particularly the memories of his training.
He mostly trained his battle awareness and spent a lot of his time meditating on the Dao trying to master intents. In the end, he made a lot of progress during that time.
During these two months, he had reached the third stage of the Heavenly Condensation Realm and condensed over twenty drops of liquid spirit energy.
And much more surprising was that beyond his expectations what he condensed instead of the regular spirit energy, was elemental spirit essence.
Elemental Spirit Essence is simply attributed to spirit energy. That means rather than the usual spirit energy, the condensed energy was elemental.
There is flame essence energy, water essence energy, wind essence energy, and so on. Having the attribute of fire, water, and wind...
"...Another shocking surprise," a surprise Arthur was glad to receive nonetheless.
Attributed spirit essence energy was something that only those with an appropriate physique could form. An example would be the Flame Emperor's Physique.
A person with the Flame Emperor Physique will naturally absorb fire essence energy from the spirit power in the atmosphere when he or she cultivates.
They are also very talented with Fire-type Battle Arts. It is extremely natural and easy for them to train in such cultivation techniques. They are also very suited to be Alchemists.
"I don't have the Flame Emperor's Physique, but it seems that the cultivation technique I practice is taking advantage of my Divine Physique to create an elemental-type physique," Arthur felt this conclusion was correct.
His Divine Physique according to Suo Hao, can create a new physique for him as long as certain conditions are met.
'It's as though the Nine Heavens Universal Technique is perfectly made for me,' Arthur wondered seeing that the cultivation technique takes advantage of his unique physique.
The Heavenly Condensation Realm, which is the Nine Heavens Universal Technique's version of the Spirit Condensation Realm, required Arthur to comprehend ten types of intent.
After comprehending the intent, he would be able to absorb and refine the spirit essence energy of the type of intent he comprehended, which is elemental of course.
Following that he would be able to condense ten drops of the element he had comprehended.
So far, Arthur had comprehended three elements...
"Fire...water...and wind...hehe this brings back memories," Arthur smiled recalling his time on Earth once more.
At this time he had already condensed twenty-seven drops of elemental spirit essence. Ten drops of fire essence, ten drops of water essence, and six drops of wind essence energy.
He was twice as strong as any Peak Spirit Condensation Realm cultivator, who had only ten drops of spirit essence energy.
Arthur stopped wandering in his memories and focused on his cultivation. He released his Vortex-like martial spirit, which he calls the Devouring Martial Spirit.
After that, he also released his other martial spirit, which he decided to name, the Nine Heavens Book.
He comprehended the writings of the cultivation method and used his devouring martial spirit to absorb wind elemental energy and condensed it to form drops.
And in four hours, Arthur had condensed four more drops of water essence energy.
Third Stage of the Heaven Condensation Realm Complete!
Arthur's absorption and assimilation were unmatched in the continent because of his martial spirit. And if he didn't have to comprehend intent, he might have condensed all one hundred drops already.
Arthur didn't stop after that and moved to comprehend the next intent.
"The Earth..."
Next, he had to comprehend the intent of the Earth.
'What is the earth? What is the essence of the earth?...what is its spiritual build?' Arthur meditated on these questions and slowly he began to gain understanding.
As he comprehended the intent of the earth's elemental essence, Arthur entered an unexpectedly deep state of enlightenment, and unbeknownst to him the Nine Heavens Book martial spirit shined upon him.
And because of that, his understanding of intents increased to an unprecedented level. And so did his mastery, and cultivation.
His Devouring Martial Spirit began to revolve and the required elemental essence energy was absorbed and refined into drops.

One week later...
Heaven Sword City...
"Hey, did you hear? The Heavenly Sword Sect is recruiting disciples way earlier this year!"
"What, isn't it supposed to be like nine months later?!"
"Yeah, I was shocked too when I heard it."
"But why so soon?"
"I think they said it was an order from one of its leaders. I am not sure, just rumors I heard. But anyway this is a great opportunity!"
Two youngsters dressed in cultivator's robe talked as they walked along the streets of Heaven Sword City. Their clothing was normal and not that of any affiliated groups.
"You know what this means?" One asked the other.
"What?"
"It means we still have a chance dummy!"
"Oh, that's true. We would have gone past the age limit in the next nine months to go through the screening process."
"Yes, but with this new development, we can still make it....hey, wait!...where are you running off to?!" One shouted at the other as he chased after him.
"There's no time to waste. I am going to go and train!" The other youngster replied.
"Wait for me too you dumbass!"
Meanwhile...
At Arthur's room...
Tiny specs of dark-colored essence energy that cannot be seen without special means, drilled themselves into Arthur's body and dived straight into his dantian.
And soon a black drop of essence energy was condensed adding to another nine drops of black-colored essence energy.
As soon as that happened Arthur's entire body glowed in multi-colored light.
The peak of the Heavenly Condensation Realm!
"One hundred drops of spirit essence energy...ten types of intent all the tenth stage..."
"Yep...I walking on the path of being overpowered..."
