She was a woman?

She was a woman?

"Hmm. Okay" Bai Chen said after thinking about what Solaris said for sometime before he nodded indicating he agreed with it.

"What a damned, fantastic universe" he said inwardly.

"Did your master reach the last stage?" he asked.

"No master. The perfection realm of the Solar Overlord stage which is second to the final stage of her cultivation technique" Solaris replied.

Bai Chen's eyes shone with surprise. "She was a woman?" he asked.

"Yes." Solaris replied.

Wow!

Bai Chen had always been suspicious of Solaris, he had always felt her master should be a woman as it, Solaris, was a she.

"So, how many years did it take your previous master?" he asked.

"Master, I can't tell you that. Just know it's really long. So, cultivate slowly till you reach her stage and surpass her if nothing happens to you on the way." Solaris replied in a strict tone.

This her master always wanted to know about things that may affect his cultivation.

"Huh?! Alright since Master didn't reach the apex of her cultivation technique, what happened to her?" he asked.

"....."

Solaris didn't reply.

"Solaris, what's your master's name?" he asked

"..."

There was still no reply from Solaris.

Bai Chen became amazed by Solaris behavior this time.

"Stupid me. I ask too many questions."

Then he just kept mute as he asked no other question.

But in his mind, he felt that at least, Solaris's master should have cultivated for tens of billions of years.

"Damn! That's too long. I would be bored" he complained bitterly on his heart.

From what he read about cultivation, he knew cultivation is really long as many cultivation stages take many years like tens to millions of years to to get to and that's why it is greatly boring.

Only ambitious and hardworking people would continue to cultivate.

Some of this ambitious cultivators may have a stage they want to get to, to be able to do some things while some in this same category, is to have terrific power that would strike fear and terror in the heart of others.

Just every cultivator had their own reason to cultivate to achieve a target.

As for the lazy ones, when they get to a particular cultivation realm, they stop.

Also, others might stop due to stagnancy in their cultivation. Their cultivation stops climbing and this may be because of an illness or perhaps the methodology they studied was not suitable for them.

It was most of this kind of people that turn out to become nefarious cultivators in the society. They commit all sort of vices. This is caused by only two reasons.

Anger and idleness.

Anger that they can't continue to cultivate and then unleash their wrath on people or become idle and then indulge themselves in perpetrating evil in the community.

A cultivation stage to the next is like earth to heaven. They are vastly distant from each other. That's why one must be diligent and hardworking if one wants to climb to next stage.

Besides, one would need consummate cultivation resources to be able to do this. Without it, one could become stagnant in their cultivation.

That's why there are so many robbers and bandits out there. Some just for the fun of it. While others steal from others, even if it involves killing that person just to acquire their possessions, and this for the sake that they want their cultivation to climb to higher levels.

Bai Chen, as an intelligent person was able to arrive at all this.

Since he already had two powerful deity-grade methodologies, he wouldn't have a problem searching for perfect and super-strong methodologies.

The only problem he would have now are cultivation resources. These where herbs, pills and elixirs to provide the specific profound cosmic energy needed for continuous breakthroughs.

He knew he would have to fight for them very soon and he would try to prepare himself for it.

With his eyes closed, he tried to sense profound solar energy. The instant he sent out his awareness to detect profound solar energy, the same instant he perceived it.

He was amazed.

But then, he remembered what Solaris told him. Which was that his soul had great affinity to profound solar energy. It was perfectly attuned to that energy. That was why he was able to instantly become aware of it existence.

He smiled at this understanding and continued what he was doing.

With his eyes closed, strands of profound solar energy began to enter into his body. Nobody would be able to see this energy as their senses weren't attuned to it.

But he could.

This energy in numerous, extremely thin strands came from the stream of light emanating from the sun.

At his level, he can only draw profound solar energy from the stream of light that flooded everywhere.

With time, he would be able to draw energy directly from the heart of the sun itself.

If one could see this energy, they would see Bai Chen covered in a cocoon of this energy that glowed resplendently.

When the thin ribbons of energy got into his energyhouse, he fused them and compacted them to form a single lump. Then he molded it with his powerful will into a sphere.

The radiant energy lump in his energyhouse now became a dazzling spherical lump. It emitted resplendent light and pulses of power.

He made the lump spherical to take the shape of the sun.

Then as more energy flowed into his energyhouse, he infused them into the spherical lump which slowly increased in size and density.

He didn't create two lumps at once. He created one. When he felt he had built it to an enormous size, he would then move on to form the second spherical lump.

He continued to do this for hours as he was enjoying the feeling. He felt a warm, gentle sensation course through his entire body as the energy threads flowed into his power vessel (energyhouse).

He was supposed to stop four hours ago as he had decided he would cultivate profound solar energy for two hours but he ended up cultivating it for more than four hours.

The spherical lump of energy had grown from the size of a grain to the size of a fist. This was fast but Bai Chen didn't know.

His cultivation of the energy was fast and because the energy was abundant as it was an energy of the universe emanating from the sun.

Creak!

The door to the room he was in made a creak sound when it was pushed open.

Then some boys came in.

These were some of the boys that stayed in the room with Bai Chen. They just came back from the library and were conversing on the things they read in the library.

Once they came in, Bai Chen stopped cultivating. Then he stood up from the ground and went to sit on his bed.

"Bai Chen, you were cultivating? Why didn't you make use of the cultivation rooms instead of cultivating here in the room?" One of them asked.

"Yea. I was supposed to use there but I forgot. Am already used to cultivating in my room back at home." he replied with a smile.

Then he looked at the time. Then his eyes sparkled. "Solaris!" he roared in his mind.

"Master, here I am. Anything you want from me?" Solaris asked.

"You were supposed to stop me fours ago. We both agreed two hours and I unknowingly cultivated for four hours. But you didn't stop me. Why?" he asked.

"Am so sorry master. I left you alone to cultivate because you were enjoying it. It was you who didn't want to stop" Solaris replied innocently.
