A Chaotic World

Chapter 103: Perfect Transition (2)

After leaving Inscription Master Nanbai's private room, Lu Tianzi suddenly felt a message come in through his communication ring.

Since Elder Diansheng was the only one who had registered his communication mark for now, this message could only be from him.

Activating the communication ring by sending in just a miniscule amount of Essence energy, the intended message appeared directly into Lu Tianzi's mind.

It was a message informing him to free up his schedule to attend a grand feast organised by Bluenight Palace the next day.

Just from its name, Lu Tianzi was able to guess that this Bluenight Palace should be the influence led by the City Lord himself.

Apparently, Bluenight Palace was inviting the top five rankers in the Nine Suns Trial on top of the upper echelons of the Nine Suns Sect. As the top ranker, Lu Tianzi naturally was included as well.

Although Lu Tianzi was surprised by the sudden invitation, it made sense when he thought about it a little more.

It was probably a celebration banquet for the completion of the Nine Suns Trial, a symbolic gesture by the City Lord in order to further strengthen the ties between Bluenight Palace and the Nine Suns Sect.

After making a mental note about this matter, Lu Tianzi headed back to the private inscription room that had been assigned to him.

Soon, Lu Tianzi found himself seated calmly in the middle of the private inscription room, his eyes closed in meditation.

The energy gathering formation within the inscription room had already been activated, and he was sitting at the very core of the mass of gathered World Origin Energy.

After having spent a few weeks in the Peak Essence Building realm, Lu Tianzi was finally intending to attack the threshold standing between him and the Primary Essence Condensation realm.

For martial artists at the Peak Essence Building realm, as long as they managed to achieve a unification rate above fifty percent, they would be able to push to the next realm with the aid of external stimulants.

However, the higher the unification rate, the stronger their foundation, and the more power they would be able to wield when they finally broke into the Essence Condensation realm.

This was the reason why most martial artists strived for as high a unification rate as possible, despite how painfully long it took.

In that sense, Lu Tianzi had a natural advantage over others. After achieving a perfect transition in the Spiritual Essence system, he now possessed a far greater understanding of the unification process.

Thus, his cultivation speed at this stage was much faster and completely without any bottlenecks, allowing him to reach a unification rate that was already nearing one hundred percent within this couple weeks' time!

At this moment, a small pinkish pearl appeared in his hands.

This was the mid ranked beast core that Lu Tianzi had obtained from the City Lord.

When Lu Tianzi further examined this mid ranked beast core, he was disappointed to realise that there were no longer any remnants of the Law of Thunder remaining from the Thunder Vulture.

Even so, at his current stage, the energy within the mid ranked beast core should be at least sufficient to push him through towards a perfect transition, and provide that final impetus needed to break through to the next realm!

Heaven Devouring Divine Art!

Lu Tianzi drew out the primordial Slaughter Essence from within the mid ranked beast core, hungrily devouring the energy into his inner world as he used it as a medium to completely unify the remaining Slaughter Essence.

It was not a fast process by any measure, but this time Lu Tianzi was determined to see it through to the very end.

Ninety eight percent

Ninety nine percent

One hundred percent!

At this point, Lu Tianzi felt as though his entire body was bursting with energy!

The complete unification of the Slaughter Essence particles within his inner world seemed to have unlocked a separate source of power that had always been lurking within him, causing a sudden surge of Slaughter Essence energy to flood his meridians.

Now!

At this point, Lu Tianzi focused his perception on the mid ranked beast core, immediately drawing out every last bit of the remaining primordial Slaughter Essence within.

Guided by the Heaven Devouring Divine Art, this primordial Slaughter Essence from the mid ranked beast core was rapidly swallowed into Lu Tianzi's inner world, colliding with the sudden surge of Slaughter Essence energy within his meridians.

With that collision, these two separate waves of energy were forcefully combined as one, forming something similar to a rushing river of dual energy that continued to ravage his meridians.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Tianzi endured the strain on his meridians as this powerful wave of energy flooded his inner world, even dissolving his Slaughter Essence particles within!

As the Slaughter Essence particles within his inner world were assimilated into this wave of energy, its rampant flow gradually started to slow down as well.

It was as though the pure mass of each Slaughter Essence particles served to increase the viscosity of the energy wave, causing it to slowly condense into a liquid that flowed at a much gentler rate throughout his inner world.

As the last of the Slaughter Essence particles in his inner world was assimilated, the original wave of energy was already completely unrecognisable.

The originally violent river of dual energy had now become no more than a pure liquid Slaughter Essence that flowed smoothly throughout his inner world, constantly washing his meridians with energy.

This was a sign of having reached the Primary Essence Condensation realm!

At this moment, Lu Tianzi suddenly a powerful surge of energy rising up from within him once again, trying to burst out of him.

Back when Lu Tianzi had reached the Primary Essence Condensation realm in the Spiritual Essence system, he had experienced a similar sensation as well.

At that time, he had released that excess energy within the plunge pool under a great waterfall, causing a huge explosion that almost emptied the plunge pool of water, even if only for a few moments.

But things were not going to be the same this time round.

Armed with the experience from before, Lu Tianzi was not intending to waste this precious energy in such a manner!

Forcefully suppressing the surge of energy within him, Lu Tianzi directed it through his meridians and into the liquid Slaughter Essence.

By doing this, Lu Tianzi was trying to make full use of this surge of energy to refine his Slaughter Essence further, pushing towards the Intermediate Essence Condensation realm!

Such an action was simply unthinkable for other martial artists!

A breakthrough in terms of cultivation realm was completely different from a breakthrough in terms of boundaries within a cultivation realm.

A martial artist's cultivation would be at its most unstable state right after breaking through to the next realm. That was why martial artists would require some time to consolidate their cultivation before pushing towards the next boundary.

If a martial artist's cultivation was not properly consolidated, it could result in disastrous impacts on his foundations, perhaps even severely limiting his future achievements.

However, such a problem actually did not exist in Lu Tianzi's case.

For Lu Tianzi who was already nearing the Intermediate Essence Condensation realm in the Spiritual Essence system, he was able to rely on his other cultivation system as a medium to precisely control this surge of energy within his inner world, so as to aid his cultivation without any negative consequences!

As for consolidating his cultivation, as long as he did so before breaking through to the next boundary, there would be absolutely no problems with his foundations whatsoever.

If any other martial artists were to learn of this matter, they would definitely gnash their teeth in jealousy!

All cultivation paths ultimately lead to the same pinnacle.

Even though the Spiritual Essence system was slightly different from the Slaughter Essence system, the fundamental concepts remained similar.

In order to rise to the next cultivation boundary, Lu Tianzi had to further refine Slaughter Essence particles and compress them into this newly condensed liquid Slaughter Essence in his inner world.

At the same time, he had to ensure that even as the density and viscosity of the liquid Slaughter Essence increased, it would still retain the same rate of flow as before.

Otherwise, even if the total amount of Slaughter Essence within his inner world increased, the rate at which he was able to draw upon it as a source of Essence energy would decrease instead.

This meant that even though Lu Tianzi would be able to last longer in fights, the explosive power behind each move would decrease.

That was a situation that he definitely had to avoid!

Lu Tianzi finally let out a deep breath after another hour of meditation.

By relying on the impetus from his breakthrough, Lu Tianzi had managed to advance far beyond what he expected, saving him weeks in terms of cultivation time.

In fact, his Slaughter Essence cultivation had already almost caught up to his Spiritual Essence cultivation!

At this moment, the mid ranked beast core in his hands let out a cracking sound and started crumbling into dust. After the primordial Slaughter Essence within it had been completely expended, it was no longer able to hold up its own structure, resulting in a natural disintegration.

This mid ranked beast core was truly as effective as he imagined, but it was a pity that he only had one of them!

Lu Tianzi sighed as he watched the mid ranked beast core fade off from his hands.

In any case, now that he had finally broken through to the Primary Essence Condensation realm, he could start to consolidate his cultivation while concentrating on perfecting his techniques.

With that in mind, Lu Tianzi made up his mind to check out the training facilities available to Inner Sect members when he had the time to do so.

He had heard plenty about the training facilities of the Inner Sect, and was naturally interested in tapping on this wonderful resource that was finally made available to him.

After going about his daily jobs, Lu Tianzi immediately returned to the sect grounds.

He did not return to his accommodation, instead heading straight to the Pagoda of Wisdom, which was the Inner Sect Grounds equivalent of the Pagoda of Knowledge.

Just like any other Inner Sect members, Lu Tianzi was allowed to borrow one manual at a time.

The manuals here might be of lower standard as compared to those within the Pagoda of Treasures, but Lu Tianzi did not mind that too much.

After all, he was not looking to learn an entirely new technique.

Lu Tianzi was searching for movement techniques that bore similar traits to the Flowing River Silent Strides. He wanted to try gleaning new insights from them and hopefully further improve on his movement technique.

However, he was left disappointed.

While the technique manuals available to Inner Sect members were of a level as compared to those available to Outer Sect members, this also meant that the variety of techniques was no longer as wide.

In the end, Lu Tianzi abandoned his original plan and settled for a set of spear techniques named Rising Serpent Splitting the Heavens.

The name sounded fanciful, but compared to the other techniques that he already possessed, it really wasn't anything special.

It was too bad that there were no better spear techniques that he could find, and Lu Tianzi did not want to just leave his Star Reaper Spear lying around.

Even though he still emphasised on perfecting his current techniques, Lu Tianzi decided that he needed to at least practise a little on his spear as well, just so he could get used to the weapon.

A weapon user needed to feel his weapon as a part of his own body.

Only by practising continually would he be able to use the spear efficiently should the need arise in the future!
