411 RETURN OF LI MENG, QI AND BODY CLEANSING THUNDER POOL-The old man nodded in agreement with Li Meng’s answer.
” A Qi King is someone who manages to lay the foundation work based on which the future cultivation levels can be based. Until the Qi general realm, you can steal the world’s energy to grow your cultivation. However, once you reach the Qi King level, you will no longer be able to steal the energy in the normal way.”
“Upon reaching the Qi king realm, the energy requirement increases exponentially. This is the first threshold you need to cross before moving into a new sub-set of cultivation. The requirement to even negate the threshold is to understand the laws based on which the world works.”
“That is the only way you would be able to steal enough power from the world to improve your cultivation. Only then would you have access to the huge energy reserves of the world. For the three levels of the king, emperor and monarch, you are still allowed by the world to use the energy, but you will have to manipulate your own body to have access and contain the power.”
“The only way to do this is to go through three-phase changes in the three respective realms. Qi King wants you to connect with the laws of the world. It will grant you an access key to the force of the world and hence allow you to cultivate the world’s energy into your strength.”
“Once you reach the peak of Qi king level, you arrive at a saturation point with your normal body. Your body won’t be able to hold any more law energy without any modification being done to it. That is where the next realm comes into play. Qi Emperor is when you have to use the law energy to modify your own body. The body you receive after modification is called Law Body.”
” While you continue to absorb energy from the world, you will have to refine your body repeatedly at every stage of the realm to improve. Once you reach the very peak of your refinement procedure, that will mark the end of the Qi Emperor realm.”
“The end of the Qi Emperor realm will mark two kinds of saturation points. They will be body saturation and the energy saturation accompanying it. Only when you achieve both these stages you would be able to reach the peak of Qi Emperor and have a glimpse of the Monarch realm.”
“The Monarch is way different than the Emperor realm. If I had to compare the two, I would say that while one is just getting acquainted with the law, the second one is to become one with the law. Becoming a Qi Monarch depends on how you can connect with your law and merge yourself with it. By becoming one with your law, you can generate the law manifestation required to enter the Qi Monarch realm.”
.....
“The Royal Road, as we know it, is a place that caters to your needs. Hence cultivators gave the name Royal Road to it. Once you pass through it, you would become royalty in cultivation and enter the Qi Monarch realm. Anyone from the Qi King realm can enter the royal road, but they are bottom feeders who are killed with the space. Only the Qi Emperor level cultivators have a chance of growing their cultivation, and 90% of those who enter space don’t return.”
“But those who do return show exponential growth in a short time. All of them are eligible to become monarchs, and some even become Qi monarchs inside it. Most of the sect-masters of force in the central plains are cultivators from the Royal Road survivor list. Since you have managed to reach a body cultivation level of your satisfaction, I want you to break through the Qi Emperor realm.”
“Since you managed to reach the very peak of the Qi king realm and is publicly known as the strongest cultivator under Qi Emperor, you have gained access to an extraordinary region of our sect, the Everlasting Thunder Dome.”
“It is a unique cultivation space created to cultivate Qi monarch stage cultivators, but those below the monarch stage benefit a lot from cultivating inside it. Your work will be to cultivate in there until you reach the point of saturation and before you can start the refinement process.” The old man threw a token at Li Meng.
” This token carries all the details regarding the experiences of many cultivators while breaking through the Qi Emperor realm. Use this to understand what the realm means and how you are supposed to enter it. Exit only when you reach the Qi Emperor realm.”
” Within space lies, a powerful natural resource called the Everlasting Pool. If you can create a law body powerful enough to get a reaction from the pool, you will be allowed to enter it and refine your body in the Qi Emperor realm. I won’t discuss the benefits, but I can say that if you could refine your body there, your strength will rise exponentially proportional to the amount of talent you possess.”
“There is something within that pool, which waits for a master to awaken it. If you manage to gain its recognition, you will be gaining a reputation equivalent to mine in the sect. I hope you succeed since none of your older brothers could, nor did the thunder child.”
Li Meng nodded his head and took his leave. There was a massive flood of information. He needed time to strategize before he could begin his breakthrough. If what the old man said was true, he still hasn’t reached the very peak of Qi king since his energy levels were yet to saturate. The miraculous cultivation ground might be able to fulfil his other law requirements, but laws of hell required Nether energy.
He was supposed to staurate his nether energy requirements before entering the Everlasting Thunder Dome. He began his cultivation immediately by sucking the nether energy collected within the artefact. The presence of Yin-seed prevented a rapid saturation, and it was going to take days before he could reach the point. Hence, he had to speed up and didn’t have any time to waste.
