The divine mana lasted a few minutes in his body and soon Kayden had to eat more meat. The girls ate much slower; they had much greater knowledge about divine mana than Kayden, but in terms of control, they were far behind.
Every few pounds of meat saved Kayden years of isolated cultivation in a place with high amounts of divine mana. He finally understood why these bears were so special.
"Kayden, take it easy or you could end up dying from poisoning", warned Minerva, receiving only silence in response. Kayden was focused entirely on his bear.
His strength grew every few minutes. He left his aura completely open at that moment and Minerva felt one of the most frightening foundations she had ever witnessed, along with a deep aura.
Kayden’s base was immaculate and felt incredibly stable. Minerva couldn’t find any mistakes, it was as if she had been polished millennia ago. After thinking for a while, he concluded that this was it.
Kayden’s aura was deep and clean, it seemed like the weight of a mountain without any feeling, without negative or positive emotion like that of most living beings; it was just a solid aura emanating in the surroundings.
It took Kayden just nine hours to finish the huge bear and eat more than a ton of meat. It was enough for him to reach the peak of the second level of the fifth realm. Not only that, his body returned to a great level, still not the same as before, but enough for him to put on a few body modification circles without dying.
"You’re a little monster, Kayden", Minerva could only say these words while observing a being dozens of times weaker than him, but with absurd potential.
"I’m just another person in the universe," Kayden replied humbly, beginning the process of leveling up.
Again, mana invaded his mind and body violently, attacking Kayden’s mentality in every possible way. He just needed to keep circling and focusing on his crown.
Progress was faster than on the first level, as he now knew what to do. A few minutes later, another jewel appeared at the opposite end of the first, also golden.
"Congratulations on your advancement, Kayden. Get some rest now and…" Minerva was unable to continue speaking as Kayden interrupted her.
"Don’t worry, my foundation is already solid." Kayden went after another bear and started grooming it. That was one of the benefits of having perfect levelness; he didn’t need to wait to continue advancing.
The next bear brought Kayden back to the peak of the level he was at. Minerva watched in shock as Kayden ate part by part and grew in power at breakneck speed.
This, in his view, was a monster, a true monster. All this time, she thought Kayden was just an unknown genius, but with every second, she became convinced that she was seeing someone who would shake this universe to its core if he could achieve his goals.
It would take him a long time before he came into his own. Minerva would probably be able to ascend to the divine level before Kayden reached the eighth realm, and that was an absolute certainty considering her way of living.
In just a few hours, Kayden was able to move forward again and place another jewel inside her crown. This time, the golden jewel was on the same side as the first. At that moment, Kayden sat down to understand what he had achieved.
It was at this very moment that the three women’s ascension process began, but Kayden was too focused to pay attention. He continued focusing on his spiritual sense and feeling its improvements.
His body has improved tremendously. In the past, his magical strength was twice his physical strength. At this point, it was about 75%. It was a huge increase, still not enough for him to fight hand-to-hand, but at some point it would be useful.
His spiritual sense grew by 200 kilometers, reaching the insane mark of 800 kilometers. Kayden was at a completely absurd level at that moment. Minerva, for example, was around 1500 kilometers, while the Fifth Kingdom girls were only 500 kilometers.
Probably, his path and all his specializations made him have a much greater spiritual sense than usual. Kayden should reach 1500 if he does everything right for the entire fifth kingdom.
Your conversion rate also grew to the same extent as before. His strength and amount of mana almost doubled in just a few hours. At this level, Kayden believed he could kill a bear alone with just one attack.
The problem would be running from the rest and being able to get to the body, which made him give up on the idea of staying in that place alone. Kayden continued testing his improvements and let go of the entire situation around him.
At least that’s what he did for a few hours, but in a moment, he felt something unique. Their eyes opened in time to see the seventh ray of the ascension process falling and destroying absolutely everything around them.
For hundreds of kilometers, everything was turned upside down. The strength of this attack showed signs of rupturing space itself, a gift that only those in the sixth realm could fully master. Messing with space was one of the hardest things there was.
What attracted him was not the strength and incredible damage of the seventh ray, which didn’t even hold two seconds of his thought. It was the clouds above Kayden. He had never been able to feel it before, but now...
Everything was divine mana. Every inch of the clouds was made of divine mana. The pressure from the clouds was even greater than at any time in his life, as he was able to feel exactly what was above him.
There was probably more divine mana in these clouds than on the entire planet. Kayden didn’t know where this intuition came from, but he was sure he was right. This was incredible and, at the same time, scary.
Kayden didn’t even see the three women descending from the heavens with all the aura of someone in the sixth realm; he was lost in thought. It took him a while to come out of them and was only awakened by a touch of Minerva’s mana.
"Congratulations on your advancement, girls," Kayden said with a perfect smile, receiving congratulations on her advancements as well.
"Let’s go to the Arctic city, also known as the gate to this zone. Few people are in the seventh realm in this zone, as there is a crow that hunts any living being in the newly advanced seventh realm. So let’s move on to the next zone." Kayden didn’t know this information and mentally thanked Minerva.
This time, the trip was much faster. Instead of lasting a few years, it was made in just three months. It only took so long because they stopped now and then to fight beasts in the sixth realm, something Kayden was not able to participate in. He could, but it wasn’t good to reveal himself that much.
They finally reached the city after a short while. The city was within a circle of mountains. In the snow-filled environment, a green city without any snow stood up, with trees and grass beautifully different from the norm.
There was a much larger concentration of people in the sixth realm in this location; in fact, about 75% of people. The rest were in the fifth realm and Kayden was able to feel a ridiculously strong aura that made it clear that she was in the seventh realm.
"I have some friends here, Kayden. Come with us and we’ll find a place for you to stay for a while." Kayden was grateful for Minerva’s offer and readily accepted.
They flew over the trees after undergoing a small seventh realm sweep through their bodies. In just a few minutes, they arrived at some kind of large academy, at least that was what Kayden felt when he saw thousands of children and teenagers in the lower realms.
Minerva led them directly into the huge rustic building made of redwood. The details were few and made mainly of flowers and redwood. The building was a few kilometers long and had a few dozen kilometers of territory.
As soon as they entered, Kayden came across an elderly man at the peak of the sixth realm. His aura was lonely and gave off a depressive vibe, he looked like someone who was slowly dying from the effects of his mind.

"One of the shadows, but a living shadow. What brings you to my gym?" The old man had his hands behind his back. He had no hair on his head, but a long, pointed, white beard on his chin. His small height and rumpled clothes gave him an air of wisdom.
"Hello, Kay. My family pays their respects. I came to bring this person to be in your care for a while. Goodbye, Kayden!" Minerva said these words and magically disappeared from the environment.
