RETURN OF LI MENG, QI AND BODY CLEANSING THUNDER POOL-2

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."
