Chapter 40

The atmosphere started to melt into nothingness as some cultivators were beginning to open their eyes. And at the same time that happened, the flowers beams died down. The students were beginning to come to reality.

After Yoro confirmed that all the flowers were off,he spoke while standing next to the slabs of rock at the posterior part of the room.

" Each creature took two hours to emerge and it consumed a maximum of three hours to kill. In total , this practice consumed eleven hours".

The wolves looked to each other and they were confused by Yoro. As such they looked outside and indeed the atmosphere had changed . It was a lot more mellow than when they showed up here. The sun had without exhausted its rays as it was about to retire.And all that was left were just warm tails , an undeniable sign that the evening was peaking into the scope.

"It is just like when you are sleeping , it feels like a short amount of time when it is not . The same goes for a simulation.", Kijad pierced the silence and he was standing on the slab on that anterior side of the room or ...simply a few feet laterally behind Adrian.

"Take a break and remember to wash those ribbons ", he advised them and he proceeded to walk out away in the direction that he had came.

Yoro bowed to him and after Kijad left. Yoro raised his head and he looked like he had been poured cold water and he was just standing there dripping in shameful disposition. His ego must really be bruised whenever he bows to Kijad.

It does not matter how his pride is degraded, though.That is what he must do because Kijad is literally about to become sect head due to factors he can't control.

One such factor is Kijad s energy core. There are four kinds of cores in this world. Gold, Blue, Silver and White.

There is no mind bending or flummoxing difference really , it's all about the amount of time and skills achieved whilst cultivating.

The first two are cores possessed by sect elders and disciples respectively.

The blue core practically exists in anyone who had been practicing basics of martial arts and cultivation for less ten years. It's the lowest, most subtle and inoccent core as it is not that damaging. Meaning that anyone of this core can't have wield any great weaponry of course. Thier attempt to do so would only bring harm to them.

The golden core has no symbolic meaning but some sacred books say it represents that the qi level concentration burns like the sun and has the potential to very explosive. It is possessed by anyone , particularly sect masters who have been practicing for at least fifteen to thirty years in the blue core -intermediate. Meaning that they stand a chance to be allocated a certain weapon of mass destruction. However to get that weapon , one would need to cultivate to the highest level of golden core .

This brings light to the idea that for every type of core there are a further three levels within. Starter, Medium and intermediate. It's obvious what these levels mean. It's also worth noting that it's not possible for someone to simply just skip from a blue to gold after just a few cultivation sessions. To get to a high core level, they would need to entistify their training every single time otherwise they would remain in the same place forever.

What this also means is that during training, taking up more obstacles will and does improve the level. From one stage to the other. Completing all three stages gves a key to unlock the door to the next core level.

That being said ,the next type is a silver core,which is next to grandlevel cultivation. It is possessed by those who have more than ninety years practicing the previous level. The cultivators who have a silver core next to being immortal. They are not immortal yet. Meaning that further parctise for maybe eighteen to twenty years , then they would gain immortality. But that happens only after reaching intermediate in the silver core.

Now in the case of immortality, there are several different kinds of immortality . All of immortality depend on the kind of cultivation that someone didbut most importantly during their transition from gold to silver or just how when they got to silver core -intermediate level . To understand better, consider a race. There are many factors that can make someone to win the race. The most common are starting off great so they finish first. However the runner can start greatly and finish last as they got tired halfway. So what matters is honestly the transition from first half to last half or just the few steps from the finish line

Anyway despite the general belief that all cultivators want to do is become gods , immortals are unknown because it's a horrible sin to cultivate to immortality or god level, .

So because of the mystery of the possession of boundless power, there is not a lot known about immortality. No one ever bothered to explain it.

But one of the greatest and most sacred texts explain this thoroughly even though they are seriously are forbidden. Like reading one page of the hundred page book, warrants the reader to be punished so gruesomely . They will be punished severely for hundred months and their family beheaded. And for the next hundred years ,all offsprings will be boiled and adults of that family are subject to any form of torture for a wrong performed by the forefather. Wolves can be extreme!!

Withal, in this sect ,there exists five of such books and one is about how to attain immortality.

The book explains that one needs to practice cultivation to reach silver core - intermediate level. And upon reaching that level they will attain the last core level, white pellet.The white core means that some has to be training for more than three hundred years , which is a lot. The question would be how can wolves have that high a cultivation level when they don't live past hundred. The reason would be that a core can be moved just like a flower can be transplanted. And just like a flower , it need to be to be moved to a similar condition or to higher richer soil. This means that for a core to move from one cultivator to the other they have to be the same level so that there is no rejection which is without a doubt a reason for death.

No one has ever achieved it simply because the qi would be too much to the point of burning the physical form of the host. In other words there is no possible way of attaining a white core without death. This brings in the first type of immortality , Earth immortal. once at this level of white core,The cultivator would have to keep cultivating so that they move to medium level of white core and when they get to that level after five or so years, the second kind of immortality is introduced, Spirit immortal.

The cultivator s body will start to leave its physical form literally. They willl start to loose their conformation and become a mist or as the name suggests a spirit. During this transition, a ten year isolation is required as the cultivator will be unconscious or basically their body would be desentergrating. The manual calls this detachment from the body or first death. The soul and body become separated or more precisely the body willshed exactly like a snake does . Only that what emerges is just a vapour outline.

However even if it sounds horrendous ,there are some benefits that are brought into the scope. The Spirit immortal after shedding would be capable of changing forms from one shape to the other. They can change from looking like a baby to an adult all the way to a very old senior resident.

At this level of life, the Spirit immortal would stay in the earth realm and if they so chose can become a sect teacher or they can just go about cultivating some more and gain more vital energy from the surrounding to better themselves. After about three to four hundred years they will reach the last stage known to the cultivation realm in the mortal world, white core -intermediate.

The instant that they reach their level,, the supreme celestial court governing the order of heaven and earth will summon them to become the guardian in the sky. And when they move to heaven they will ultimately be one of the Heaven immortals, bound forever in the heaven.

In total the whole jornuey to heaven would take no less than five hundred years of cultivation experience. To which about six hundred more years later, the heaven s immortal will fade into the nothiness like the vapor they areand become one of the many starts decorating the sky.

That does sound like quite the laborious trip but the manual goes on to explain that to get a white core without five hundred years of practice , a core transfer can be made. Two highest level core of silver will fuse and then this fusion will be transfused to someone of an equally higher level of silver.. And this will defaulty move the receiver to Human immortal and then into isolation phase. to see having a white core comes from the fusion of three supreme silver cores .

Technically speaking, all cores can be transferred .So a blue can give anyone, gold can give itself and two other levels. Silver can give its self and white and white can only give white. Any transfer gives the receiver a boost to the highest stage in the level that they are in. And if one is already at the highest , after a few more sessions they would jump to the next core level. A cheat code indeed!
