Nascent Soul Realm

10 years Later.

Anzar succeeded in reaching the Peak of the Golden Core Realm.

He didn't leave his mountain during this period. He trained a lot.

He focused on his agility. He needed to improve in this aspect in the past.

He improved his movements technique to fit better his fighting style with a heavy axe.

If he fights the tree-tailed fox again, he believes he will not fall behind in speed and agility.

He also trained with his Axe and reached the level of small accomplishment.

However, he didn't find any technique for Axes. This type of weapon is rarely used in the cultivation world.

So he enhanced his techniques. He will always focus on inflicting Heavy Impacts to destroy all defensive artifacts and any defensive layer to inject his Qi and inflict internal damage.

However, he will need to find a better Axe. The one he uses now is only a Late Human grade. But for training, it's enough.

He improved all his Arrays to Middle Grade. He is not far from reaching the level of a master.

Anzar still needed to start studying alchemy.

He used around 200 Cultivators for his experiences and analyses during this period. He made good progress. Anzar is convinced that he isn't far from discovering some of the mysteries of the meridians.

Anzar often tried to enter the enlightenment state again, but he failed.

----

He sent a communication talisman to Kahina, Giss, and Uzmir. No one is allowed to disturb him for the incoming months. He is going to make a Breakthrough in the Nascent Soul Realm!

Inside his cave abode, the jail is empty for the first time. So he adopted a meditation position and activated his Breathing technique.

He continuously injected his Qi inside his golden core. Cracks started to appear. This process is very painful for the body.

For 2 months, Anzar didn't move an inch. He was very focused. He understands that this step is critical. Only when someone reaches the Nascent soul Realm can they be considered an expert in the continent. Only in this realm can he have access to his Sea of consciousness. He endured the pain.

The moment his golden core shattered, his body became luminous, and a big burst of power rushed forward. The sky above the mountain changed color. The entire area began to shake violently.

Anzar kept his calm. Once everything returned to normal, he knew his Breakthrough was successful, and he immediately checked his Sea of consciousness.

His Sea of Consciousness is vast and entirely Dark. Yet, he found a beautiful and very shiny Lotus Flower in the middle that contrasted with the darkness around.

At the top of this Lotus, he found the transparent figure of a baby, sleeping peacefully.

This baby is his soul that took form.

Anzar found nothing special, everything was like he had discovered from the notes of Elder Adan, and it is common knowledge in the world of cultivation.

He wanted to leave his Sea of consciousness, but he noticed that this Lotus had too many Petals.

He counted 66 Petals !! This surprised him.

Usually, a cultivator that reaches the nascent soul realm will have a Lotus Flower with 12 to 60 Petals.

Only a few had surpassed this number to 61 or 62, but never 63 or higher.

Cultivators in this continent still need to comprehend the exact meaning of the petals.

They only know that the more petals a cultivator has, the stronger his soul power and qi sense will be.

Anzar knew something was extraordinary about him, and this event only confirmed it even more.

But right now, he still needs to unveil the mysteries behind this. His only advantage is a fast cultivation speed and very thick qi. The rest is thanks to his hard work.

The fact that he opened 66 petals may be extraordinary, but for Anzar, it only means more work and time to find a solution and hide this from probing eyes.

He knows that if these secrets are leaked, all the cultivators in the continent will jump on him.

This Breakthrough is vital to all cultivators, but for him even more, he can now finally use and experiments with the Heavenly Soul Mark technique and start his plans.

Anzar spread his Qi sense to the maximum. He can now reach a distance of 700 km! , he can from this mountain reach the city of Tislit with it.

All the lands under his control are also under his qi sense!

Anzar found that his ability to analyze and make deductions improved significantly after opening his Sea of consciousness.

The Sea of consciousness is why cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm and higher realms are so good at scheming and planning.
