Practice I

Bai Chen now understood why he was having problem with his cultivation. Why he had been stagnant all this while. It was because of this entity. It had been absorbing all of the energy he cultivated so it could regain a tiny fraction of it own strength.

Then he became perplexed. "I cultivate sword energy. How is it possible that you are able to regain your strength through that? It doesn't relate to profound solar energy in any way. Besides, did you do something to my cultivation perception sensory ability? How is it that I wasn't able to know my energy was being swallowed?" he asked with light of confusion in his eyes.

"Energy is energy. It can be converted from one form to another. Profound cosmic sword energy, profound cosmic darkness energy, profound cosmic golden energy and what have you are all the same energy with different attributes. Profound cosmic sword energy is profound cosmic energy with the attribute of sharpness, can pierce through everything. That of darkness energy has the feature to shroud or conceal things with darkness, an energy cultivated by assassins for stealth. That of golden energy has the attribute of metal, it possesses all the characteristics of metal and so on. So through a method called, 'Myriad Quintessence Transformation', one can convert one's cultivation energy to another through refinement and infusion. After refining to remove the characteristics it possessed, one would then infuse one's comprehension of the mysteries of a particular profound cosmic energy into the pure, refined energy so it can have the desired attributes the cultivator wants. And to your second question, yes. I casted an illusion on you. So you wouldn't see actually what was going on in your energyhouse" Solaris replied.

Bai Chen was wowed. All these he was hearing sent his mind spinning in marvel. What kind of world was this?

Now, he knew he was able to cross over to this world through a living, cultivation soul entity. And he had figured out that cultivation entities are sentient energy beings formed from fusion of one's cultivation energy and soul energy. Without a bodily host, they would be destroyed.

"Are there many more like you out there?" he asked. "Yes, there are many more. Especially in the bodies of god-experts. When these experts die, their bodies shatter and scatter into motes of light. Since we don't have a vessel we can reside in, we would get destroyed. We would turn back into profound cosmic energy and soul energy which would return to the world. Every energy borrowed from the universe must be returned. That's the law of this world, receive and return. But we have to find a way to live and then transmit our master's legacy to an excellent seedling. So these entities like myself always search for young cultivators like you to co-inhabit bodies with so we won't be destroyed by the rule of our cultivation world" it replied.

"Hmm. So many things I need to know and learn. Since you are formed from soul energy, I believe our master would have infused you with all his memories right?" Bai Chen asked. "Yes, I have all his memories. Right from when he was at your stage up to the Chaos Heaven Prime."

Bai Chen's eyes glittered. "What of master's.. uhm.. wealth? As in lifetime accumulations?" he asked shyly and embarrassedly. "Yes, it's safe where he kept it. But it's in the God plane. You are still too weak to journey there. Only the breeze there might reduce you to pieces." Solaris replied.

He never knew anything about God plane. He thought this was the only world that existed in the universe he had been brought into. "what's a God plane?" he asked.

"That's where terrific hegemonic experts reside. Believe me, you wouldn't want to talk about this. You are even too weak to possess that kind of knowledge, it could bring you harm. It's exceedingly far from your reach, roughly a thousand trillion decades away from you. What I mean is until you have cultivated for at least a thousand trillion decades could you think of going there. Considering you are not killed along the way" Solaris replied

Bai Chen trembled. So I could live that long if nothing happens to me on the way? This is just too awesome!!! He cried out in his mind. This world gave him surprises one after the other.

"So, um, Solaris, I believe you already have a bit of energy. Please, do not touch my energy and please do not place me in an illusion. I need to breakthrough to the late-phase flow activation stage" he said in a begging tone.

"Alright Master" Solaris said. Then her voice disappeared from Bai Chen's head.

Then he regained his body back and stood up from the ground. His mind was occupied with a lot of exciting things that he couldn't calm down to cultivate. So he stood up and went to bed where he began to recall all that Solaris said.

He was like this till four a.m.

When the cards started glowing, he stood up to his feet from bed and woke the others.

It was another day of practice.

So everyone in the field jogged with weights and practiced close-range combat in the field for hours while at the same time gazing at Bai Chen nefariously. While Bai Chen ignored them and continued to smile in money.

Their intense physical training went on for many weeks. At this point in time, the batch of kids that Bai Chen came in with had all broken through. While Bai Chen had broken through into the late-phase flow activation stage.

Now that they had broken through, the cultivation library became accessible to all of them.

On a certain day, they were all allowed entry into the library but only to the first floor. But because Bai Chen was the captain of recruits. He was allowed access into the second floor. This caused the girls to adore him more and the boys to become extremely angry.

But what made them smile, was that, very soon, they would all fight again with Bai Chen.

In a month and half, they would enter into a competition with one another. And in this competition, only people at the same cultivation stage would be allowed to fight.

Then, they would be able to employ battle-methods. At that time, they would show Bai Chen who is boss. They would put him in his place and even put him in a place where he wouldn't be able to return from. They would cripple him by shattering his energyhouse and turn him into a laughing stock.

This was the thought of the sinister boys in the military academy. Boys who were inclined towards evil.

Bai Chen could sense these, but he just brushed it off as irrational jealousness of kids. But he would be careful and not underestimate them as he learnt a lesson the hard way back on earth.

In a place they were assigned to go to, when the police couldn't handle it, to rescue kids abducted in school buses. After many hours of negotiations, they broke into the place, shot the terrorists down and rescued the kids.

After the whole rescuing thing, he met a kid in that place who was armed with a gun. He should have just skillfully collected the gun like the way they were trained to snatch guns from armed opponents, he didn't.

He looked at the child as a harmless child till he was shot in the heart. He was lucky the bullet missed by him by a centimeter or it could have spelt doom for him.

He laughed when he remembered that incident. Then he continued what he was doing. He continued to cultivate while also going through information of the world he was in. What he read about this world caused him to be in a daze.

It was only the mortal plane Solaris allowed him to know about. It didn't give him information about the Heaven Plane and God plane. But what he read about the mortal plane gave him a great deal of shock.

He discovered to his amazement that he was in just one of the ten thousand mortal planes and from the way it was described, as in the land area, it was like twenty times massive than earth and that there were tens of thousands of races apart from humans that lived in them. He began to have a feeling he was living in an alien universe.

- Next Day -

He went to a battle space. This was a large space where they would practice their battle-methods to perfection. He was transported into here via a large spatial array.

In there he began to practice....
