Chapter 83: Perfect Foundation
Xiao Lan trembled as she tried to remember the contents of the Cultivation Manual she had gotten from Li Xue; however, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.
'Guess it's because I'm still weak.'
Xiao Lan wasn't bothered by that because she knew it only meant that the technique surpassed anything she had witnessed in her past life. It was truly a marvelous technique that perfectly suited her and her Ancestral Phoenix Flames.
Although she wouldn't be able to use them anytime soon, she was sure they would be much stronger when she would unleash them.
In a happy mood, she began to circulate the mist of Qi inside her body. It was like guiding a gust of wind, which could break at any moment, and she had to make sure it didn't. And that's what she did.
She carefully circulated the Qi Mist inside her body according to her Cultivation Manual, and finally, when she sensed that she had covered everything, she made the Qi Mist settle in various parts of her body.
It was a known fact that Body Strengthening Realm Cultivators could not store Qi and could only rely on their bodies to grow stronger.
Xiao Lan narrowed her closed eyes as she contemplated something. Then, an excited grin appeared on her face. She had finally attained the First-Rank of Body Strengthening Realm and had stepped onto the path of cultivation. However, she wasn't satisfied with that.
Instead of dispersing the Qi Mist and ending her Awakening, Xiao Lan began to absorb even more Qi Mist, and this time, it was at an alarming rate. But she was now a Cultivator and someone with fine control over her Qi, so she didn't encounter any obstacles.
She took a deep breath to calm her excited heart and then began circulating the Qi Mist inside her body according to the Primordial Nine-Coloured Pheonix Flames. Nine enormous vortexes formed around her as she began to absorb the surroundings of Qi Mist greedily. It was as if she wanted to absorb all of the mist. But, of course, it was impossible.
No matter how much Xiao Lan absorbed the Qi, the density of the mist remained the same. That was very beneficial for Xiao Lan as she was trying something never done by anyone in the history of the Divine Realm.
She knew it was impossible and could possibly break her whole body, making her a cripple who would never be able to walk on the path of cultivation. However, she had back-up.
Xiao Lan had this idea when she was roaming the Divine Realm. She wondered if someone could directly awaken to the Qi Refining Realm. For various reasons, it was impossible to say, and no one had been able to achieve it in the Divine Realm's history.
There were simply too many variables, like not having enough Qi or the quality of Qi not matching. But there was a reason everyone wanted to reach the Qi Refining Realm in one go.
The Body Strengthening Realm was the base foundation for all the upper realms, and it was a well-known fact that lower realms decided how high a person could go. Because of that, it was considered to be one of the most important, and many stayed on it for years to perfect it.
But they were never successful because there was only one way to make a perfect, stable foundation in the Body Strengthening Realm, and that was to ascend directly to the Qi Refining Realm during Awakening.
There was a simple fact about Awakening, and it was that the Foundation created by it would be the best. So, if a person directly achieved the Fifth-Rank Body Strengthening Realm after Awakening, then they would have a far more stable foundation than even those who have spent years making their Foundation stable. That person would have five ranks of the Body Strengthening Realm perfectly stable and have the perfect Foundation for them.
Of course, not everyone could do it. Not to mention the harsh requirement of it, a person simply wouldn't be able to handle the load of awakening directly to Qi Refining Realm because Awakening lasts only for a short time after one attains First-Rank of Body Strengthening Realm in which they would try their best to get as perfect Foundation as they could.
Because of this, if a person wanted to ascend to the Qi Refining Realm directly, they would have to cross all Nine Ranks of the Body Strengthening Realm in that short period of time. And the only way to do that was to absorb the Qi from nine different parts of the body and make Nine Separate Qi Clouds inside them. Then, they would have to make sure that the nine Qi clouds don't get mixed up and circulate all nine of them.
All these things made the task practically impossible. No one could sustain that kind of pressure inside their body, not even Xiao Lan. However, she had something inside her that made her body completely safe and protected it from the heavy pressure brought down by the nine Qi clouds. Of course, if the Qi wasn't so obedient, things would have been different.
Xiao Lan grew more excited then ever to be the first one to achieve the Perfect Foundation. With this Foundation, her future would be limitless and as long as she practiced hard, even reaching the Top of Divine Realm was very easy for her. That was the power of perfect Foundation.
'No! I need to focus otherwise everything will be waste. I still have Master's seeds inside me and they'll protect me, hehe. I'll burrow more from him later. Ahem! Concentrate.'
Scolding herself, Xiao Lan concentrated inside her body where nine different Qi clouds were hovering. It was very hard to control them all simultaneously and the pressure was immense and if she didn't have Shen Yu's seeds inside her, her body would have exploded from inside out.
Once again, thanking Shen Yu in her heart, she began the process of ascending to Qi Refining Realm.
